    While watching your videos covering a variety of ancient artifacts (Moody's eye, the mirror, the vase, the wand, the cloak, sorcerer's stone, the DH stone, etc.) a question hit me...why have contemporary wizards become weaker than their ancestors? We are constantly told about ancient wizards who created incredible magical artifacts or did amazing things, but our own generation's greatest wizard (Dumbledore) can only create a thing that puts out lights. Even in this video, you mention how you don't believe Voldemort could create something comparable to the Deathly Hallows. And this problem seems to be a more recent problem too, because as we see in Fantastic Beasts, Queenie is a natural Legilimens, but a generation later that ability is seemingly dying off, so even a powerful wizard like Volde has to use a spell to do it, and even then he only gets flashes of thought, instead of Queenie's apparent ability to read a person's mind. Could Grindelwald and Voldemort be right? Is the mixing between muggles and wizards diluting magical abilities? Or maybe two generations of war which cost the lives of countless skillful wizards has drastically hurt the wizarding gene pool. Or could it be simply that the modern school system is too focused on test scores, and not enough on actual education. Hogwarts was created by the four founders to pass on their knowledge, but (as we are shown) the founders each created a powerful magical artifact but then did not teach their students how they were made. Even Rowena Ravenclaw who places an emphasis on knowledge (and who cheats by the way...) refuses to pass on the knowledge of her diadem. So I would like to see if the Carlin Brothers could work out this idea, why is magic dying throughout the Wizarding World?

    • @Zahlenteufel1
      @Zahlenteufel1 5 років тому +235

      My guess is that in ye olden days there was just a lot less control over magic. Like, think before the ministery of magic put in place all the "no minor wizardry" and stuff it was all possible, basically the wild west of magic. To create such powerful artifacts would surely require massive amounts of magic and/or sacrifices (like human sacrifices). Now when you're the only wizard in a couple hundred miles range (the world population is smaller the farther you go back, therefore, the wizard population as well) you're free to fail as hard as you like and sacrifice as many villages as you like but if there is a ministry monitoring all and every magical fart then it would be a lot harder. If you fail hard enough you go to Azkaban and if you succeed but get caught, the object gets confiscated because "too dangerous" and you go to Azkaban.
      So I think the main problem is limiting bureaucracy combined with larger population both in wizards and muggles and in the advancement of muggles (as in they pose a threat now and need to be hidden from).
      To the question of diluting magical abilities: We'd need to know where magic comes from. If all wizards have a universal common ancestor that had a gene that made him able to use magic then it is possible that "dilution" occurs (if the magic gene is non-dominant) but in the sense that fewer people are wizards and not that wizards are weaker.
      If some god once gave the power of magic to some guy and made some arbitrary rules for how it is given to his offspring then anything possible.
      If magic is some power that exists everywhere but is finite it would also be possible that as there are more wizards there is less magic for everyone or if magic is a non-renewable resource maybe it's simply being used up.
      It would definitely be interesting to see what these guys can come up with as I am a filthy casual on the topic.

    • @Navajonkee
      @Navajonkee 5 років тому +159

      I think the problem lies in the fact that you're comparing one, or two generations of modern wizards to hundreds to thousands of years worth of ancient wizards. I don't think ancient wizards were all that more powerful, it's just that in the span of multiple millennia there ought to be a handful of extremely powerful wizards. I think the average Joe weren't really more capable than their modern counterparts.

    Thought I'd add one more piece of evidence tying Harry Potter to Greek mythology. Professor Trelawny is a known descendant of Cassandra, the princess of the city Troy from Greek history. She was cursed with mumbling prophecies that no one ever believed. This is the same curse that is on Sybill. Greek gods exist in the same universe as Harry Potter, and by extension, Fantastic Beasts.

    • @ZenaraX
      @ZenaraX 6 років тому +7

      I don't think JK makes her character's literally descended from Greek gods, she just took a bunch of inspiration from Ancient magic (they had a full museum exhibit of everything she took inspiration from). It's more likely that Sybill's great-great-Grandmother was simply named after the Greek princess than her actually being an ancient Greek princess. The same way that Sybill's name comes from 'The Sibyls' who are Seers and clairvoyants from ancient history, and also the reason that the hallows are not the actual ancient Greek artefacts, just follow a similar storyline. But it is an interesting theory!

      Harry was still stuck on the train as it “jerked” into motion on its way back to London. The movement caused him to roll over and become partially exposed. Tonks noticed he hadn’t gotten off the train and went looking for him on the train. She stoped at the compartment with the blinds (Draco had closed) because it looked suspicious. That’s how it happened. It wasn’t small beasts flying around his head that only Luna could see...

      If Dumbledore was in possession of the eye before it was given to Moody, he would have most certainly attempted to dissect the magic that made it so powerful. With that in mind, he seems to have succeeded. I say he succeeded because he seems to have managed to bewitch his halfmoon spectacles in the same manor. It wouldnt be the first time a pair of glasses were bewitched. And now that I think about it... Even muggles know about the idea of X-ray vision, night vision, thermal imaging, etc. I bet you anything Dumbledore took these ideas and gave his glasses those types of abilities.

    So, if the story of the three brothers is correct, then these items were made by a single entity (entitled Death in the story). It would make sense that "Death," after being evaded by the youngest brother, would create an item with the ability to see through the cloak. It would also make sense that only a wizard who created an item would be able to find a way to counteract said items. Therefore, the eye must have been created by whomever Death is. Perhaps someone that the Peverell brothers all had a quarrel with.

    Dumbledore once said, the Peverel brothers were extremely gifted wizards and had made the hallows themselves. If we take it to be true, then I am not sure that they were able to create the stone at the very first try. So, what if the eye is actually one of the failed attempts at making the stone?
    The stone is supposed to let you see the people lurking in the far shore(land of the dead), right? So what if, in one of the attempts, they were able to create a stone that did allow them to see things which were not visible to the human eye?
    Just imagine that you are one of the Peverel brothers, and the desparately want to make something which will enable you to see those who had died. First you would want to see if there is anything which is not visible to the human eye, right? So what if it is this eye?

      @vyrtilanyrwen3071 4 роки тому +5

      Rodrigo Romano, right, but I don’t think that Dumbledore owned the Elder Wand. You should check out the video that SCB made, but the gist of it is that Dumbledore beat Grindelwald in a duel to win this wand, but the Elder Wand can never actually lose in a duel, so Grindelwald never had it. It still belonged to the wand maker Gregorovitch. Since Voldemort killed him in the seventh book, he obtained the wand. Then Harry killed Voldemort, which was possible because it was not a formal duel, thereby acquiring the Elder Wand. The point is that I don’t think the Elder Wand had anything to do with Dumbledore seeing Harry, Ron and Hermione, because Dumbledore never truly controlled it. However, there is another theory that I am not opposed to. I don’t know how Rowling responded to it, but quite frankly, I don’t care what she responded with, because she probably just listens to the theories and decides which ones she likes and declares them true. The theory is that Dumbledore is Death. The same person who gave the three brothers the Deathly Hallows. That may explain why he could control the Elder Wand enough to use it to see through the invisibility cloak. However, if Dumbledore is not death, then the theory of the Elder Wand allowing him to see through the cloak just falls apart.

    I have a theory that piggybacks off this theory: Greek mythology was based on mortals/muggles seeing the Wizarding World.
    You know how stories of dragons and witches are from seeing actual dragons and witches? How stories of sphinxes and griffins made their way into muggles minds? Wait a second... sphinxes and griffins are from GREEK/ROMAN mythology (romans reskinned greek mythology). Now, we know the the Deathly Hallows are like the three magical objects from Perseus’s stories. Maybe the Greek gods were just really powerful wizards? Maybe even the FIRST wizards? It seems fitting that muggles would worship the Olympian Council, the council of the first, ancient wizards. The first wizards had children, and these are the minor gods (purebloods) and demigods (also known as... guess what... HALF-BLOODS).
    This would explain how muggles know of the Deathly Hallows: they saw the Deathly Hallows but couldn’t understand what they were (remember how muggles thought sirius’s wand was a gun?) so they thought the Elder Wand was a sword, the Invisibility Cloak was a Helm of Darkness, and the stone was a bad. Ok, the last one doesn’t really fit, but maybe over the years of passing down the story it got twisted.
    Maybe the three brothers the made the Deathly Hallows were in fact the Big Three, the three most powerful gods who were also brothers, sons of the Titan’s kind Kronos. The muggles named these three brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Zeus made the Elder Wand/sword, Hades made the Invisibility Cloak/Helm of Darkness, and Poseidon made the stone/bag. The stone/bag might have been hidden from mortals so they wouldn’t try raising the dead.
    Anyone here read Percy Jackson? You know how Nico (demigod son of Hades) raised the dead? The way thats works sounds an awful lot like the stone...

Second, if he worked at Hogwarts for practically an entire semester, presumably carrying on conversations with Dumbledore during the semester, how did Dumbledore not realize that he wasn't actually Moody? Dumbledore seemed to know everything else, but he couldn't see through something as seemingly basic has polyjuice potion.

    Something strange that I realized about Harry and Dumbledore in the Harry Potter books is that they both see almost the same thing in the Mirror of Erised. Harry sees him and his parents his parents, his family and Dumbledore sees his family all alive.

    Another thing to add about the Eye being the Graeae sister's eye: what two other things were useful in finding/destroying the horcruxes other than Harry's cloak/the Hallows? Hermione's *bag* with an undetectable extension charm on it and the *Sword* of Gryffindor.

    Re: Gillyweed and the Bubblehead charm - It's not that nobody has wondered whether it might be useful to travel underwater. Clearly they have, which is why those things are so plainly written out in the books waiting to be found. But they have largely decided that there is nothing there worth finding, which is why that information is "buried" in neglected places that most people wouldn't bother to look.
    That's why those things are so important to the Champions, because they're able to pull up specific, seemingly "useless" knowledge in the precise obscure situation where that is exactly the only thing that will work.

    @nrdywrdy 6 років тому +40

    So awesome! Couple notes: 1) When Moody says he's just doing a favor for Dumbledore, isn't that really Crouch Jr. talking? and 2) Doesn't Moody have the Marauders' Map? That could have helped him guess that Harry was stuck in the step, because his magic eye would have seen that the step was compressed, even if it couldn't see Harry.

    • @ZenaraX
      @ZenaraX 6 років тому +12

      He didn't have the map yet, he actually found out about the map that night. Harry was hidden under the cloak, waving to get Moody's attention as he was about to give the map to Snape. I was confused by the favour part too! I'm pretty sure it was Crouch Jr. at that point.

  • @blaise_bb
    @blaise_bb 6 років тому +35

    Maybe the triangular eye is referencing how there are 3 sisters sharing it.... 3 sides make up for 3 sisters, and the eye can only find magical objects in groups of threes, which explains why it could find the THREE items for Perseus', and later help find Death's THREE hallows. Response??

    • @mrdrock
      @mrdrock 6 років тому +2

      I would say that eye can see through the invisibility cloak because it is an ancient magical item, far more powerful than the cloak.

    • @patax144

    Ok so I know you guys read the Harry Potter books in like a continuous cycle, so I have a suggestion. This is what I do: use like amazon music or something to find like tons of themes form the movie. You can find so so so many themes that fit like every situation in the books and when you read them it makes the sad parts sadder and the epic parts like way more epic, it’s like watching a movie for real! Try it out ( I sort them into playlists like battle songs, forboading, quidditch, people dieing, and like happy around the palace songs)

    I wrote this on my notes last night when I was have asleep. But reading it today did make me think.
    So in Harry Potter the moving stairs... well... move. And there have been many encounters with the moving stairs. People just hanging out on the stairs finding eggs and finding escaped fat lady’s. So why did they never move when all of this was going on. BUT. They moved in the first book to bring the golden trio to the ONE PLACE where they weren’t supposed to go. Did the stairs know that Harry, Hermione, and Ron were meant to find fluffy the three headed dog? Did the stairs know that they had to wait til they were all together to bring them to the third floor? Did the stairs know that they were the ones to find the philosophers stone and defeated Voldemort’s little face head thing on the back of quirrells head?
    Idk man kinda cool tho

    • @MissZeely
      @MissZeely 6 років тому +1

      Bria Skye in the book the stairs aren't the reason they find fluffy, the stairs aren't a major plot point in any of the books, in the books the trio (and Neville) get locked out of Gryffindor Tower at night and they hide in the third floor corridor to avoid being caught by filch and that's how they get caught - however when I first read your comment I got intrigued too before I remembered that was a movie change, would have been cool though 👍🏼😊

      The phrase "An eye for an eye" usually means "payback" in the context of revenge, or of "justice" in a brutal manner, rather than repaying a favour to a friend, grudgingly or not.
