Which Hogwarts Founder Was Most POWERFUL? (RANKED) - Harry Potter Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the founders of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry- Godric Gryffindor, Salazar Slytherin, Helga Hufflepuff, and Rowena Ravenclaw. More specifically- however, we’re going to be looking at the founders in the context of their POWER. In the past I’ve ranked the most powerful slytherins, gryffindors, hufflepuffs, ravenclaws, order of the phoenix members, dumbledores army members, aurors, death eaters, weasleys and MORE- so I thought it only natural that next we rank the founding members of each of the Hogwarts houses.
Now- before we get things rolling, I just want to say one thing: all 4 of the hogwarts founders were immensely powerful- and I mean POWERFUL. In, fact the level of power that the founders possessed is thought to be uncomparable to most modern day witches & wizards. Uncomparable is a strong word- and suggests that they were eons ahead of the wizards of today. But why they were so powerful is uncertain- and I wonder if it’s just that the power of witches/wizards been watered down over time. If not- what made them so special? Why were they so skilled?
In my eyes, I would assume that the magical beings of the wizarding world would only become more powerful (as a whole) over time, learning new spells and tricks from their ancestors. However- it seems to be quite the opposite, in fact- the most powerful witch and wizard to have EVER existed also lived during the time period that the Hogwarts founders were around. The most powerful wizard was Merlin- a wizard that appears in both Harry Potter folklore and our own folklore. Centuries after his demise, Merlin was immortalized in the form of a chocolate frog card- praised for his robust knowledge of magical abilities. On the other side of things we have Morgana Le Fay- Merlin’s nemesis (in some versions of folklore) a powerful witch and accomplished animagus that was also immortalized on her own chocolate frog card.
A bit about the history of the founders- In the tenth century, the Hogwarts founders- the ORIGINAL house members- got together and established that they had ‘the selfsame yearning to make the worlds best magic school’. Their collective agreement that the wizarding world was in need of a good, strong magical school resulted in the birth of Hogwarts- which was built somewhere off hidden in the Scottish highlands. Each of the founders was immensely powerful, and contributed to the birth of Hogwarts in their own unique way- but what I want to explore in this video is- who was the most POWERFUL founder? It’d be all nice and fun to assume that they were all equal- but that’s not realistic, so sit back, relax, and enjoy my own personal rankings of the hogwarts founders. This is entirely subjective, so comment your own rankings down below- then play the video and see if yours line up with mine.

How would YOU rank the founders? Comment down below!
👀
Totally agree with your assessment
With you
1: Salazar
2:Godric
3:Rowena
4:Helga (sorry hufflepuffs)
I would say Gryffindor is no.1 despite not dabbling in the dark arts the sword of Gryffindor has the power to kill a Basilisk & destroy horxrux and duelling with swords as opposed to Wands shows the immense strength & humility of Gryffindor
I probably would agree with your ranking mostly because of the information we know about the founders. I would also add that Helga Hufflepuff is probably more powerful than we know. Just because she was nice and more accepting of others and less interested in dueling etc doesn’t mean she was weaker. But I would so love to see JK Rowling write a book about the founders and or a tv series. It would be so good 😊 Also proud Gryffindor here 🦁
she should just expand on the backstory of them, she created so much lore that hasn’t been explained
It actually could mean she was weaker, she could probably be like harry
i agree about the dueling part, just because you pick a fight doesnt make you strong/powerful
and no, no more books from jk. have someone else write it
Gryffindor: I'll choose Lion to represent bravery.
Slytherin: I'll use snake to represent parseltongue.
Hufflepuff: I'll use badger to represent friendship.
Ravenclaw: I'll use eagle to confuse the readers thinking it's a raven.
Others: Why didn't we think of that? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard.
Why wouldn't gryffindor use a Griffin then?
It's because raven means black and eagles are known for their black claws.
the reason ravenclaw is an eagle and gryffindor is a lion is because those symbols are the hogwarts owner's patronuses
@@jackanimationsandgaming4913 Really? I didn't know. Is that actual info from somewhere?
@@maksimilian528 yes i think its a video from harry potter theory,harry potter lore or movieflame
@@maksimilian528 No that Is actually not true. I don’t know about gryffindor, but it’s called raven claw because raven means black, which makes black claw and eagles are known for their black claws. Raven claw “appreciates” (I don’t remember the correct word) knowledge and wisdom, so that’s why
I believe Helga Hufflepuff was more powerful coz she single handedly consolidated the resources and manpower to build Hogwarts. She relied on diplomacy (persuasion) and not always a show of force and power like her Godric and Salazar. Helga was the least judgmental believing that all wizards no matter their background had something to offer the world. Helga would protect many magical beings from mistreatment like house elves by providing them a safe place to work and call home in Hogwarts. The extensive Hogwarts grounds including the Black Forest and black lake became home to many magical beings and creatures because she vouched for them. It doesn’t come as a surprise that Hogsmede the only wizard community in the British isles was founded by Hengist a former Hufflepuff student taught personally by Helga. Helga’s most impressive ability was the consideration of the magical universe as a whole not just wizard centric compared to her peers. Her egalitarian approach ensured the survival of all magic not just wizards that’s why Hogwarts is home to wizards, numerous magical creatures and beings.
I think the reason why the four founders of Hogwarts were at the pinnacle of magical power in their own time and perhaps even unrivaled in the modern era was because back then life was harder. For one thing a millennia ago we did not have the same kinds of modern comforts and conveniences that most wizards in the modern era have access to, meaning back then wizards would of had to rely on magic more frequently and this could have made them more skilled by comparison. Also before the time of Hogwarts, there was no governing body for wizard-kind, no Ministry of Magic, no Auroras, no united polity or culture. Therefore witches and wizards had to be much more self reliant and may have often had to fight for their own survival as back in the 10th century witch hunts and persecutions of magical practitioners by muggles was commonplace. Not to mention the disunity of the wizarding community and no formal legal foundation back then meant wizards living in that era had to defend themselves, not just against radical muggles but also against their fellow wizards.
Nah, I doubt they were stronger than powerful modern wizards/witches like Dumbledore, Grindelwald, Voldemort, etc. since they had fewer spells available to pick from. And some of the really useful potions and even stuff like Arithmancy etc. were developed after the time of the founders.
My guess is that the founders were simply members of families with the largest library at that time and that they decided to share their knowledge instead of hearing it and only teaching it to family members. The reason for Hogwarts was most likely to help magical people with lacking materials like books, tomes, and so on to get a magical education so they can defend themselves against muggles, etc.
Me being a Muggle irl: Let's kill the muggles
Aka Slytherin yes
My heart belongs with Ravenclaw
How do we break down "Most Powerful"? Does it come down to Strength, Cunningness or Conviction? As magic can be more powerful or stronger based on conviction and love. I feel that Helga because of her modest and willingness to teach anyone and fairness, would bring her above the others when willingness to protect and teach. So her conviction to me puts her to rival Godrick. I feel versatility would give Rowena the edge. I feel that Salazar would push beyond anyone in the wanting of keeping his children safe (students included) and this willingness to plunge into darker arts to be greater force. I do feel that Godrick would actually be the least of them in skill or talent but would the "Tank" willing to take a punch for any of his friends and from his love would be among the top. So to me the "top" would be Helga, tied for second Sala-boi and Godrick, then Rowena. Yet they all work in a function of clockwork, each playing on each other's strength and covering their weaknesses.
I agree. Helga strikes me as being similar to Harry - not the most powerful or skilled in anything (except magical protection and quidditch) but because of how they treat people they can call on house elves and phoenixes and other, more talented wizards. Also: love is the most powerful force in the HP world, and Helga showed the greatest capacity for love. If the chips are down then, like Molly Vs Bellatrix, I'd back Helga ftw.
Imo, Helga is the last, while one of Salazar or Godric would be the best.. Rowena either 2 or 3.. Helga might have been a very powerful witch obviously but she was mostly famous for her food spells and Rowena was renowned as a very skilled witch in magic and charms and she was known as the most powerful witch of her time.. Due to this, I'd place Rowena above Helga and probably alongside the weaker of Salazar or Godric
Also, powerful could be interpreted in a financial, status and means/resources way. So subjective!
@Apollyon Firstly; Thank you for thinking that I belong with the badgers :D Secondly; I was sorted into Slytherin each time I took the quiz. Haha. Thirdly; "Powerful" is a complex word and in each context the idea of it changes, along with the philosophy there in. It takes a powerful witch / wizard in the times where their kind is being hunted / killed, to stand up and accept both pure, half and muggle-borns into their home and believe that they are all worthy of learning, as long as they work hard. You can have your theory, as I can have mine, but there is too little info to decide who was outright more powerful without Rowling being the deciding force. And "Having no standards..." She did have standards, and out of all the Hogwarts houses, had it clearly stated. "those patient Hufflepuffs are true and unafraid of toil" and "For Hufflepuff, hard workers were most worthy of admission". She had a standard where hardwork will make one worthy and with the traits of Loyalty and Justness. So, before you make a claim about having no standards, make sure you know what you're talking about :D Just makes ya look a wee bit daft, if you don't.
@@greyLeicester I agree! That's why I said "How do we break down "Most Powerful"?". It is a complex word / phrase, with different contextual meanings. :D Which makes this riddle so brain wracking and with so many possibilities! :D
Slytherin was the most powerful, because accepted and embraced the entire magical spectrum, so he delved deeply into the dark arts. This gave him a great edge over his three friends, and, eventually, rivals. Also, beyond his magical abilities he was adept at using cunning, subterfuge and guile, as shown with his creation of the Chamber of Secrets.
I think most top lists always put Gryffindor and Salazar in the 1st/2nd spots but it seems to be mostly due to raw magical power and intentional combative effort. Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw seem to tie for last but honestly they weren't even trying to be powerful. Imagine if they had applied effort into combative magic they could tie for second or at least a close third.
Stop with the ifs. They have their own field of expertise. In terms of combative abilities slytherin and gryffindor are miles ahead
@@Maggpiee "Stop with the if's" I never stated any? Just asked people to wonder, didn't state anything too specific and certainly didn't take a derogatory stand. There are plenty of other comments to debate upon not sure why you took the time a year later to make a point against a comment that didn't even demean either character you meantioned.
@@doshaburi0ryuu k
As to magical strength, "History of Quidditch" book States that wizards aren't able to apparate as far as they seemingly used to. Perhaps dilution of blood, even in "pureblood" families (which Dumbledore argued that it's impossible that any family doesn't have at least some half bloods in their history somewhere) has degraded overall strength through the centuries?
Rowena is my top because she came up with almost all the ideas for Hogwarts. She is exceptionally talented, clever, smart, wise, witty, creative, and over all, well rounded.
That's why she's a Ravenclaw because they are all Smart witted people
I am a Slytherin but out of the 3 other houses and founders Rowena and her house are the best.When i become headmaster i will make sure Hufflepuffs and mudbloods are treated terribly,Gryffindors,half bloods,and non Slytherin or Ravenclaw pure bloods are treated ok,and Slytherin and Ravenclaw pure bloods own the school
As a ravenclaw, I enjoy the wit but I want to know more about the duelists
@gaminglegends4695 Those people are called white supremacists and racistss when the book's analogies are taken into account in real life. You'd be treated the same way they are ... i.e laughed at and considered naive and ignorant for basing your opinions on blood purity.
In the Order of the Phoenix, the sorting hat mentions "What with dueling and with fighting
, and the clash of friend on friend". This always makes me think that Slytherin was up against the three other founders in a duel at some point, so could Slytherin almost 1v3 the other founders?
So I happened to open youtube and saw this video alert for 18 minutes ago. I then noticed that 6 people posted 18 minutes ago. That shows how loved and anticipated these videos are for there are people perched like owls waiting for the next "Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory" so they can swoop in and watch. I think that says a lot for the channel.
Helga she gives off a soccer mom vibe so she's packin love magic we don't know about. That's like every soccer mom; you don't really know what she's bringing to the game until the end. Helga #1 she'll transfigure Voldemort into a Capri-sun in a fkn heartbeat. We need more story on this woman.
i bet Hufflepuff was the most powerful.....see....those who are not the best, but desire to be the best make the loudest noise about it....Slytherine was loud about only teaching the most powerful....he had to prove to everyone that he was the best or would become the best.....Gryffindor was bold and only wanted to teach the brave....again loud.....Ravenclaw was loud about only teaching the intelligent....Hufflepuff would teach everyone because she was the most powerful....she knew it and didn't care to prove it, she didn't have to..
Cry more little puff
Could be.
No body asked mudblood hufflepuff
So that's why Hufflepuff are always at the bottom
Lol😂😂, that is like saying the bottom ranking student is actually the most intelligent because he doesn't care for stuff like hierarchical ranking and that the top ranked students are just vain glory hunters
Reality is much more simple. Bottom ranked students are less talented and more easily distracted whereas top ranked students are more talented and focused.
Similarly just because Helga Hufflepuff was not 'loud' doesn't mean she was the best.
I mean, each of the 4 has their own strengths and weaknesses, so I think that ranking them by power would be difficult. Im just gonna assume that they are each as powerful as the other, but for different reasons.
I’m a fight to the death aka combat power who is the strongest? If you say they would all tie, then you crazy.
Love videos related to the founders. So interesting
Video idea: Comparing the strength of Voldemort and Salazar Slytherin.
Should be Voldemort. He had access to the Chamber of Secrets and the Scriptorium as a student, so he should know everything Salazar did. Voldemort also created horcruxes as early as 16, and successfully created 7 while still being the most powerful wizard in the world (prime Voldemort should have been more powerful than Dumbledore given how they were matched in _Order of the Phoenix)._
Gryffindor was stated to be the best dualist of his era. So if we are talking about dualing ability and combat power Gryffindor is the strongest.
Imagine if Rowling just came out and said Helga was the most powerful.
Waiting lol 🤞🏼
@@veejay160 hehe same
Dumbledore said love was the most powerfull magic there is, and she had a lot of love so maybe she is the most powerful...
I wonder if Salazar was from Ireland? Since Godric was born in England, Rowena from Scotland and Helga from Wales then it would only be fitting for Salazar to have hailed from Ireland. That way all four founders of Hogwarts would each represent a different country in Great Britain.
I have the same headcanon as you! I do wonder if the Four founders were represented that way
The Gaunts lived in Ireland for some time as seen in the Ilvermorny story and eventually also bred with descendents of Morgana le Fay who was also Irish. Given how proud they were of their heritage it's possible that they wanted to get back to their roots. Also the founder colours seem to reflect the stereotypical colour of their country and green is usually significant of Ireland
@@atrumluminarium "the founder colours seem to reflect the stereotypical colour of their country and green is usually significant of Ireland"
That's so true. Excluding Hufflepuff, the other three founders seem to have incorporated the primary color of where they were from into the colors of their own house. Ravenclaw is blue just like Scotland (though a lighter shade of blue), Slytherin is green which represents Ireland and of course Gryffindore is red and gold, and their mascot is a lion, which is the same as the royal arms of England.
He was most likely from the Fens in eastern England, they are often referred to as Fen/Fenland/Fens, what would have been The Kingdom of East Anglia, and Ireland is not in 'Great Britain btw.
I like to think after his exile from Hogwarts he moved to Ireland this is why the Gaunts had descendants and branches both in Ireland and England.
@@ZYXPQI neither was Scotland in the middle ages tho
Godric is Zeus
Salazar is Hades
Rowena is Athena
Helga is Demeter
Harry is Hercules
Dumbledore is Hermes
Voldemort is Zagreus Melinoe/Hades
Minerva Mcgonagall is Pallas Athene
Merope Gaunt is Pleiad
Ron is Poseidon
Don't think anyone was surprised by your list. Great job homie as always.
Since "dark" magic just refers to the nature of it and not necessarily the power behind it, I don't think it should even be considered. After all, Voldemort is obviously the darkest of the dark and he feared Dumbledore. If being willing to use "dark" magic made you more powerful, Voldemort's side would have absolutely destroyed any opposition, just because they were "dark".
I don't what is the matter with you all but the book clearly shows that if Dumbledore and voldemort were alone voldemort would have killed dumbledore if it wasn't for fawkes, in fact all 3 of Dumbledore's offensive spells were repelled by voldemort. Now of course you may be saying dumbledore is like more than twice his age but does that really change anything significantly?? The dark arts is much, much more powerful than random normal magic, take several example other than the 3 unforgivable curses. Sectumsempra is one of the most deadly spells. Feindfyre destroys everything, protego diabolica turns your enemy to ash.
@@lightuponlight3491 , it isn't the spell itself that is powerful, though. As Barty Crouch Jr (disguised as Moody) said, the students could cast Avada Kedavra at him (considered the absolute darkest spell in the wizarding world) and he would barely get a nosebleed. It's about the power of the wizard casting the spell, not the spell itself. How many times did Harry's ragtag group of student wizards fend off adult Death Eaters? Clearly, their dark magic wasn't inherently stronger. Yes, those dark spells you mentioned have more severe effects than "random normal magic", but that is not the same as power.
@@SgtSupaman First he did say that you need a bit of powerful magic behind it, but the important thing is malicious intent and while that is true, it doesn't deny it is unblockable, deadly, un-reversable and really dangerous, other than it could get a duel over within seconds , he said he would not get a nosebleed because these people are not sadistic or "don't care for the life they will extinguish". They simply do. And saying the spell is not strong is really wrong or dark arts is weak is kinda ignorant even dumbledore said it is really hard to combat the dark arts. As for the death eaters harry and the others fended off, you can't compare the young, physically fit youths to people who spent at least 10 years in azkaban, and even having said that, harry was not able to fend off dolohov alone, and he and Sirius crushed him. Mcgonagall resisted 4-5 stupefies and to get her really out of any other battle you should increase that to 10. while 1 killing curse and mcgonagall is dead.
Great video!! I agree with the ranking but only have one thing to add that is that Ravenclaw along with Slytherin were skilled wandmakers having created their own wands. It is unknown if Hufflepuff and Gryffindor did so as well.
I’m early!!! Just woke up and the first thing I saw on my phone is a new video from you!
This is an argument I’ve had a few times, but I maintain that Rowena Ravenclaw was more powerful than Goodrich Gryffindor. I agree that her skills weren’t focused on duels or anything, but that isn’t the measure of power. I think the influence she had on Hogwarts as a building, her diadem, her intelligence, and the like make up for how weak she might be in a duel. That’s just my opinion. I agree with the rest.
I believe Helga was beyond powerful and top 1 by far. Only real power and strength translate into kindness. I neither have evidence nor doubts about it.
Salazar is the greatest of the hogwarts four
I agree with your sortings and could not have done better by myself.
1. Godric Gryffindor
2. Salazar Slytherin
3. Rowana Ravenclaw
4. Helga Hufflepuff
Dude at around 6:20 u mentioned that he fought most of the time with his sword right? However in the fandom page it does say that he was skilled in martial magic too and the best duellist using both sword and magic alike
Can you do one of what happened to fluffy after the sorcerers stone?
He was sent back to where Hagrid got him in the first place. Greece.
Another great video. I've always wanted to know how Hogwarts got it's name. Please do videos such as if students were allowed to take a cat, toad or an owl why Ron was allowed to take a rat to Hogwarts, How students got to Hogwarts centuries before there were any trains
1.Slytherin
(Cuz he literally took on all the others)
(Yes they probably didn’t want it to come to death but STILL)
2. Ravenclaw
(Cuz she studied all magic almost her hole life)
3.Griffindoor
(Cuz like said in the vid he was quite good)
(Or so they say)
4. Hufflepuff
(She was still very talented,she could hold her own with the ,other enough said I think)
(Sorry hufflepuffs)
Other thing too but this is main ones for me
Your intro gives me chills
You should have seen my face when Gryffindor did not get on top shocked for sure but I think the reasoning makes sense
Gryffindor fought off a horde of Goblins trying to take his sword back has to count for something.
I would probably have put Helga on top because love is the most powerful magic. Your ranking suggests that knowledge of the dark arts and broader knowledge of magic in general makes Slytherin the most powerful. But Lily defeated Voldemort. So too would Helga beat Slytherin when push comes to shove. I get why you wouldn’t want to rank them this way though for a video. “Most loving wizard” is not great click bait 😬
Good job you made me happy
Why do I feel like I already watched this before?... Either way, good content!
Because he already posted one. It was almost the exact same video, he didn’t even provide any new information from the past video.
power is often comparable to the need of power. the founders lived during a time when they were hunted and had to fight for their life. modern wizards biggest problem is typically to clean their house
1. Gryffindor
2. Slytherin
3. Ravenclaw
4. Hufflepuff
(Though to be honest...that's also my favorites order.)
This is going to be interesting
My rankings:
1. Salazar Slytherin
2. Rowena Ravenclaw
3. Helga Hufflepuff
4. Godric Gryffindor (especially if he didn't use his magic that much and dealt with swordfights more than wand deulling)
there was supposedly a duel between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Since Slytherin left the school you could assume that Gryffindor won the duel which would make him stronger. Also it is said that if you're any wizard at all you can channel your magic through any object so perhaps Gryffindor used his sword as a wand. If so then that shows extreme power.
It wasn't a duel, It was an argument between the 4 founders. Most people think Slytherin didn't agree with what they wanted (probably to open the school to all wizards, not just pure-bloods) so he left the school and never came back.
If Harry is related to Voldermort and Voldermort was the heir of Slytherin, wouldn’t Harry also be related to Slytherin?
Harry isn't related to Voldermort by blood.. He only became related to Voldermort coz a part of Voldermort got embedded within Harry as a horcrux.. After Harry was avada Kedavra'd by voldy in the forbidden forest,this connection was immediately lost coz the horcrux got destroyed..
Edit :Just after posting this did I remember about the Peverell brothers and how Voldermort was a descendent of the oldest brother and Harry a descendant of the youngest.. That does make them very distant relations.. Yea, your question is a very good one.. 👏
Everyone is related to everyone else. It all depends on how high can we go in the family free....Lol!
Yes, it's also why Harry can continue speaking parseltongue even after he was no longer a horcrux in Cursed Child. As for people saying they weren't related, they actually were. Harry's dad had the cloak and Voldemort's mom had the stone. That means they are both related to the Gaunts. And therefore, related to each other
It is worth pointing out that even in just physical combat one can be vastly more powerful, fast, etc but still not be the best in combat! You can be far more powerful than your opponents yet still LOSE to them in fights every time! I agree that in most respects Slytherin was indeed the most powerful. But I don't think he'd win in a life or death struggle with Gryffindor in most cases. Mostly down to mindset and will. While both had insanely strong wills it comes down to the flavor of that will in my book.
You did this video already, Silas.
Knowledge is power.
i think we honestly dont know anything about the founders that can make a ranking of them truly legit.
4. Rowena Ravenclaw
3. Godric Gryffindor
2. Salazar Slytherin
1. Helga Hufflepuff
8:10 Damn you're right...If I take off my red and gold colored HP glasses...
Ravenclaw 💙💙💙💙🦅🦅🦅🦅
🌙❣️🌙❣️🌙❣️🌙❣️🌙❣️🌙❣️
who invented spells such as expeliarmus or the unforgivable ones, someone must of
also , salazar , rowena, godric, helga
I feel like you are right with the rankings.
Helga just wanted everybody to be fed, happy, and loved 🥰
My list before watching the video
1.Gryffindor
2.Slytherin
3.Ravenclaw
4.Hufflepuff
Perhaps Rowling has been giving us a hint about this allready ; )
1. Gryffindor: Red and GOLD.
2. Slytherin: Green and SILVER.
3. Ravenclaw: Blue and BRONZE.
4. Hufflepuff: Yellow and black.
I like to think that the power of wizards, and magic in general, is related to the number and types of magical creatures in the world. After the Statute of Secrecy, when magical creatures began to be hunted or suppressed in other ways, magic overall started to get weaker.
I think these four are way too close for comfortly ranking them.
From The Most Powerful
1. Salazar Slytherin
2. Godric Gryffindor
3. Rowena Ravenclaw
4. Helga Hufflepuff
It is easy to guess
I would love it if j.k. Rowling would do a book and a movie about the founder's of Hogwarts. Here are a few director's that I think would be awesome. James wan, Christopher nolan, James Gunn, or G del Toro.
Being good at fighting does not inherently make one more powerful. And perhaps Gryphendor used his sword as a wand, like Haggrid used an umbrella.
My thoughts too, though Hagrid put his wand into an umbrella, Gryffindor likely just used the goblin sword.
4) Helga Hufflepuff (ranked #4 for no other reason than she doesn't seem motivated to chase power)
3) Rowiena Ravenclaw (very very intelligent but seems like she wouldn't be very confrontational. Definitely would not want to go to war with her tho that would be scary)
2) Salazar Slytherin (I'm pretty sure he lost the duel to Gryfiendore which is why he left the castle)
1) Godrick Gryfiendore (pretty sure he defeated Salazar)
Raven law does not seek power but evolution and development. It’s wit is sharp and blade sharper when unsheathed ,Hufflepuf . Has grow towards balance and generous endeavors. This entitlement builds an innate knowledge of the true nature of all things and the strength to battle and when to mediate. Slytherin study the shadow land and have propensity for DarK magus . They align with the psychological inroads and when aligned are in knowing of the instincts. Gryindoor . Emotions are key to mature and be leaders when needed and help others toward their gifts,. Interesting how the women are listed as the less powerful. It is a different stream of power. Voldormat. Learned that
"Never tickle a sleeping dragon.....because you are crunchy and good with ketchup."
Hmm seems like Salazar’s theory of Endogamy caused his own line to go extinct in a pathetic way. It may also explain the idiocy that runs through the Malfoy family. If he was so powerful why couldn’t he convince the others?
video idea : what if salazar slytherin was the basilisk
I agree with your ranking, except I would rank griffindor and slytherin as equals.
And once again, Helga proves why the Hufflepuff House is the best :D
Yes, I love Hufflepuffs because my Best Friend is in it.
I’m griffindor 🦁
I wanted to be in slytherin. But unfortunately i am in Rawenclaw. 😑😑.
Gryffindor should be at the top. I think that's what Rowling wanted to tell us through the chamber of secrets part where godric gryffindor's sword(godric's weapon) was used by harry to defeat the basillisk(which can be considered as salazar's weapon).
What I never understood about the basalisk, would it not have been just as deadly to pure-bloods?
Perhaps it's my Slytherin bias, but I agree 100% with your ranking. 😉
I think in terms of raw power Gryffindor was the strongest.
But could have been defeated by Slytherin's cunning. Like MCU's Thor and Loki.
But, given time to plan and prep, Ravenclaw would probably overcome both of them.
BUT, over centuries and millennia, after the other houses have dissolved, Hufflepuff will continue to exist because badgers are a symbol of resiliency.
4 Raven claw 3 Hufflepuff 2 slithrin 1griffendor
I think Salazar shoud be first although I was also confuse with godric though godric has to be second because he did not undulge in the type of magic that salazar did and salazar did not hesitte to indulge in dark magic
Harry Potter theory , Please make a video or tell me .. Please help me ,
I had recently completed the harry potter series 4-5 times but still addicted to it , No intention of demotivating you but how do you still make videos even though harry potter ended , do u have a hope of new movie or series or anything else , pls let me know .. i am in big trouble .
I completely agree!
I would say Rowena, because she had the idea of the localisation of Hogwarts, she created the room of requirements, moving stairs etc.... And also beacause it's my house ^^
I would say
1. Rowena
2. Salazar
3. Godric
4.Helga
We simply don't have enough information to do this ranking.... when it comes to "power", we only have small bits of information on Gryffindor and Slytherin.
Video suggestion: How could people have thought Hagrid was the hair of Slytherin? And why did he remain expelled forever, and why was his license to use magic suspended indefinitely when it was obvious that he was not the heir of Slytherin?
1.Godric
2.Salazar
3.Rowena
4.Helga
I think the most powerful form of magic is being able to exist after the Caster has died. Like how they were able to enchant the Sorting Hat as well as keep the castle hidden and providing stuff for the students in the room of requirement for example.
I personally believe that rowena and salazar we're the most powerful from the 4 cause these two relied in knowledge about magic while helga was more about acceptance and peace ( which is great ) and godrick did more sword fighting then a magic. Rowena was known as the smartest witch which would mean that she was more powerful then Helga ( still love helga tho ). She was the one who came up with most of the ideas in Hogwarts. She was good at charms and at stuff like astronomy. But all in all everyone has a different opinion and every founder is interesting in their own way. Them and the Hogwarts Ghosts are literally the most interesting Characters in the Series ( in my Opinion).
I have a few questions unrelated to the video:
is it illegal to use unforgivable curses against beasts? If so, what about life threatening situations? Wouldn't the imperious curse be very valuable for controlling dragons for example, since the curses were unblockable?
Can werewolves become animagi?
Since lethifolds are classified as beasts, shouldn't one be able to kill them? What about avada kedavra?
I always assumed most magical beasts were immune to curses and jinxes.. like werewolves are so strong and feared because they are immune to magic, and I doubt dragons could be killed with avada kedavra.
@@HunterBelkiran @Julian Belkin Let's say acromantulas then. They have curse-resistant "skin" on all parts of their bodies except underneath them if I remember correctly, so a killing curse there should be effective, right?
The problem I have with this is that the unforgivable curses are clearly stated to be unblockable, and it seems to me that if dragonskin or acromantula exterior were repelling unforgivable curses, every auror would be wearing it.
I do agree with you in that it would be too OP for one curse to kill a dragon, so maybe only really powerful wizards could do it, or more than one are needed, like we see in goblet of fire with stupefying.
I'm pretty sure they specialized in different fields of magic. For example, Slytherin was presumably the best at the dark arts.
I'm a MASSIVE Salazar and Slytherin fan in general, but the fact that Godrick could give the best wizards a chance with a sword while they are using magic undeniably shows me that he is greater. It's like what they learn in school to do magic without a wand. Imagine Godrick using his left hand while dueling with a sword and still winning. Imagine being so powerful you can deflect magic without a wand and if need be, get close enough to sword swipe them? Yeah, thats unreal. Now, imagine he has a wand in one hand and a other hand that still is almost as equal as his wand with magic? Unbeatable.
Honestly as they always were just grouped together I would presume the differences between them to be slight. Aka all four of them are absolute monsters in their own right.
And after that I'm going by complete gut feeling,
1 I think is slytherin. I always read the legend of the chamber of secrets that it either took all three other founders to expell him, or that he went after an argument. (to be honest I believe the latter, but we're clinging to straws here.) plus we know about the basilisk (which he concealed from the other founders!) and we know he taught MERLIN. That's the big one
2. I think Rowena Ravenclaw. She was seen as the most intelligent witch of her age. And she is the one who found the location for hogwarts. I'd say she's quite comfortable on second or maybe even first place. I believe even if she had no particular fondness of martial magic, just the reality of their times demanded all of them to be exemplary duelists. Muggles were aware of magic and Christianity was on a rise and wizards were not that organized as a society yet. Society as a whole was a lot more messy and violent in the tenth century. So I do not believe Rowena just sat in her study like she would prefer to but that she was just as deadly in a duel as the other three. if not more due to her knowledge.
3. Gryffindor. We only know he was a good duelist and swordsman. Really that's it. But still they were "the four most powerful of their time" and he's noted for his love of dueling, so he has to be an absolute monster in a fight.
4. Helga Hufflepuff but that is not to say she's not powerful. Just lacking in feats or even annotations
who will be new headmaster in hogwarts
I always thought Godric duelling with a sword meant he used a sword instead of a wand to cast magic. Like Olivander says, you can use any stick as a wand to enhance magic, but a real wand is more effective, so Godric used a sword like a stick to enhance magic, not for actual sword duels. But idk.
exactly
I always had the impression that Godric was sort of like a Beowulf type of figure. That is prior to founding Hogwarts, he may have wondered the land slaying monsters and fighting for just causes like a knight in shining armor. Hence why he had the sword in the first place.
Salazar Slytherin was most powerful. 💚
Warner Bros needs to create a Hogwarts Founders series ASAP!!! We need to see how powerful the founders were, the roots of Hogwarts. Also the conflict between Salazar and Godric, which lead to him to building the Chamber of Secrets and ultimately leaving Hogwarts.
How would events of changed if Voldemort destroyed the Horcrux in GOF within Harry at tail end of graveyard scene? (Impact on Arthur Weasley attack, Sirius fake vision, later visions, etc)
Also, if Voldemort specifically gave Pettigrew a new hand, and had Pettigrew’s blood in him as well after GOF, then why was the hand able to kill him in Malfoy Manor?
Finally, if Voldemort never killed Snape, then how and when would Snape of turned back to the “good guys”?
So proud to be a Slytherin 🐍
Can you do fluffy the 3 Headed dog please
I know this is incredibly lame but I really don’t see this making any other sense than them being equally powerful. As others mentioned the founders had traits specific to them so I guess we could rank them based on who would win in a duel or something like that but if we are discussing purely magical powers i think it’s not rankable
Which house are you in?
Perhaps a proud Gryffindor?
Or maybe a kind Hufflepuff?
An ambitious Slytherin?
Or a witty Ravenclaw?
I'm a Gryffindor!
I think Slytherin would be first, Gryffindor second, Ravenclaw third and Hufflepuff last
It's same for me. Only thing I didn't know that Slytherin actually MADE the basilisk. That's impressive.
I am a slytherin. Took the pottermore quiz twice.
@@Deluluissolulumadman I don't have Pottermore! I took the Buzzfeed quiz and I got Gryffindor even though I'm not very brave.
I think 1: Godric Griffindor ( I’m a Griffindor)
2:Rowena Ravenclaw
3:Salazar Slitherin
4:Helena Huffulpuf ( sorry Hufflpufs)
@@adeepsankarank5141 completing a stupid test doesnt make you kind
Gryffindor vs slytherin reminds me of Dumbledore vs Voldemort. So that’s why I think dumbledore is the more powerful one.
Is Dumbledore more powerful though? He was exhausted at the end of his duel with Voldemort, and Voldemort retreated because the aurors were approaching.
Voldemort is also noted to be growing more powerful throughout _Half-Blood Prince_ and _Deathly Hallows._
