      The_SCP _Foundation I mean, Hogwarts was probably safer back then. As well, you know, HARRY WASN’T ATTENDING YET 😂. Plus, compared to the abuse she had to endure with her aunt, Hogwarts would have been her safe haven. Just like so many other children, like Hardy James Potter & Severus Snape.
      Harry had to endure verbal and mental abuse (and probably physical as well) by his aunt and uncle, and Snape had to endure physical, verbal, and mental abuse by his father. Harry had it worse when it comes to being unsafe at Hogwarts then Snape (unless we concentrate on bullying, Janes Potter made Snape’s school years miserable. Not saying he was all the innocent, but Janes crosses so many lines), as he himself was ALWAYS in a form of danger. Yet, to him, Hogwarts will always be his first home. The first place he felt wanted, or rather, loved.

      I don't know. Ilvermorny was co-established with a Muggle and is generally more accepting of Muggle-borns. I'm not sure a pureblood supremacist like Voldemort would want to associate himself with a school that was established by and is still full of blood traitors.

      I would say, He’s not a true pure blood.
      The last remaining pure blood from of the Gaunt family was the aunt who deactivated the wand before she died. Even Isolt’s couldn’t activate it and decided to bury the wand.

What things are truly blind to them, and what is just hidden by charms and enchantments? Can a Muggle brew Potions? Can they fly a Broomstick? Can they even achieve small bits of magic? (With outside help, of course.)
      The story of James offers the question of what Muggles can do in a magical world. And it's frustrating that we don't have all the answers.

      @@kingcamelot1395 as far as I know, Muggles can't brew potions, can ride broomsticks and can't use magic, but it can affect them. According to Newt Scamander, Wizards have different biology to muggles, which is why muggles can birth Wizards/witches most likely, and a squib is a mix between both types of human. If a muggle has different biology, then they can ,at most, tap into a little bit of magic.

    @backyardshenanagins1720 2 роки тому +225

    It’s fascinating how the school was started by the union of magical and non magical folk. And then much later MCUSA (I don’t know if it’s shown as that or something else) would outlaw the union of magical and no mags when it most likely started out with the ideal that that could happen. Which means either something happened, or someone came in and trampled on that ideal.

    • @soniatsui7606
      @soniatsui7606 2 роки тому +1

      I think it's because after a few decades Ilvermorny had been established, a wizard called Robert or something married/wanted to marry a Muggle and it blew up the wizards' cover. It was the first time the wizards were almost discovered after the Statute of Secrecy became a thing and even led to major prosecution of wizardkind in America eventually resulting in the deaths of four witches with two of them being children, so the MACUSA at the time took drastic measures to prevent it from ever happening again - a ban on a Muggle-magical union.

To stop a prophecy that on the year of 2020 an cosmic eclipse and a planetary alignment would shield the earth from the heavens and weaken the seals on hell and that the king of hell Satan would for a full year be unrestrained from having demonic/demon armies and his general the fallen dark angel lucifer engulf the earth in hell itself...……….the heavens are sworn to interfere with the earth as little as possible outside of what is commanded……...Nor are they to alter prophecy's... going against proclemations, Atheria a warrior arc angel in secret attemted to alter the dark 2020 prophecy, by bareing a half human son, forging a destony for him to lead 7 warriors(a winged gorgon, a minataur, a centaur,a warewolf, a dryad elf, a half dragon human hybrid) to protect, defeat or suppress the forces of hell...he has 3 months untill the prophecy comes to pace to endow him with magic they fuse the resurrection stone with the goblet of fire aloowing him to gain the souls/powers of 3 past wizards( Dumbledore, merlin and Goodrich gryphondor) he is gifted with the sword of gryphondor and Excalibur fusing the 2 blades and gets tpo forge a wizards staff from materials that chose him, like the wand chosing its wizard...………………………………………….IDK it was a long assed daydream

      Snape wasn't, either. And probably a good number of Voldemort's followers that came from Slytherin would never have joined him if they'd been treated right. What did they expect, telling 11 year old CHILDREN they're evil from the moment they sort into Slytherin, ridiculing and humiliating them and ostracizing the whole house with even the teachers in on it? Tell someone long enough they're good for nothing and evil and they'll internalize it. Prejudice, people...not only Slytherin and Voldemort suffered from it. And if you treat people badly, eventually they'll lash out. Also, if I'd been a Slytherin being humiliated and all that and Voldemort (who, in the beginning was a real charmer) would have offered to help me become great, give me the abilities to protect myself from ever being hurt like that again, power to be recognized...I doubt I would have believed my tormentors claiming the guy was bad news. And by the time I'd realize Voldemort's evil, it would be too late. I don't think Voldemort reacted well to traitors (speaking of those that had been in his ranks but defected) or people who clearly showed an interest and suddenly decide "no, actually, not for me, sorry" Once you were on Voldy's radar, you were pretty much f*cked.

For different reasons their aunts tried to change the way the kids parents taught them (Petunia wanted to get rid of magic and Gormlith, idk if it's spelt correct, wanted to change what kind of magic she was being taught).
    When they were given their Hogwarts acceptance letters both aunts didn't let them go. After that it's all different but yeah, similar in the beginning.

      I've watched the presentation of the story of how Ilvermorny was created, and it's white man's burden pure and simple. It's established that there's magical being all over the Earth, including in the "new world" so why wouldn't the native tribes that had shamans and medicine men, and witch doctors have their own system to train those among their tribes who have such powers? The answer is the Harry Potter fans want a great white savior to establish a Eurocentric school because God knows the original inhabitants of North, South and Central America never could have done it.

The cruel treatment of native people is a sick fact that we should all be made aware of, but I doubt Rowling knew anything resembling that travesty when she wrote this, nor had its base concept in mind as inspiration. Not every story written by a white person has a conscious or subconscious "white man superior" message etched into its soul. I did not at all see anything in the story about white people acting as a superior or condescending comparison toward something in stringent regards to the native peoples; just four European settlers who traveled to America for their own reasons, but who somehow came together based on circumstance and who all ultimately developed a familial bond strong enough to build up a dream and face off against a monstrous force of evil, while at the same time encountering preternatural beings who were based off folkloric creatures native to America. And last I checked, those who attend Ilvermorny all come solely of their own volition instead of being forced into it by biased local law or necessity. Where's your suspension of disbelief!
