Well, if we follow the Harry Potter book series, Harry and Ron talked to Merlin in the Room of Requirements. But the picture from that scene shows a girl and I am not quite sure about the answer I gave. Please let me know whether or not it is correct.
Then I must admit, I have no clue. However, I think I'll wait for others to give answers and hopefully we will be able to get the right one. If you have no problems with revealing the answer too early then please do. Because honestly, I am very intrested on who these students might be.
Before anyone brings it up, it is canon that Merlin attended Hogwarts as a Slytherin student, likely under the tutelage of Salazar Slytherin himself. The time gap between the founding of Hogwarts and the Arthurian Cycle is significant-just a simple oversight by J.K. Rowling? There are various theories about this. We've done our best to address this paradox in the video. Hope you enjoy it!
I love Merlin and Slytherin lore. I have always wondered about Merlin in the wizarding world and I was quite surprised to learn about Merlin and Slytherin.
We're glad you enjoyed the video! Agreed, Merlin truly left an incredible mark on the Wizarding World. There's so much more to explore about his character and influence!
@@spellbookchronicles I think it's awesome because it proves that just because you belong to any certain house, it doesn't mean you fit any particular possible negative stereotype about it. Slytherin has long been infamous for chalking up Dark/evil wizards, but just because you belong to that house, it doesn't mean you necessarily have to be evil.
I've always loved the many different portrayals of Merlin. From classic arts in art and literature, to more modern media from films like Disney's The Sword In The Stone, John Bookman's Excalibur to shoes like BBC's Merlin and Merlin in the Fate anime series. His mark on history and fantasy is one of greatness. Though I wonder, is Merlin really important to you Quintin because of your last name? Pendragon? Like Arthur Pendragon?
Merlin could be the most powerful wizard, no doubt!!! Belonging to both worlds and rumors says he was the first to achieve traveling through time. I wish we could see him in a future Wizarding world of magic MOVIE.
Yet another most excellent video! Delving into the depths of one of the most famous wizarding figures in history has been a treat and a half. I was wondering, could you guys do a deep dive like this for Professor Rubeus Hagrid and his family?
Yeah but people have liked making a romanticized version of that tale in the middle ages for centuries, even though it's origin is in the dark ages; so it's understandable (although technically the DA is early middle ages, with the aesthetic MA being the high middle Ages; as it's just the time between the Age of Romans and the age of exploration)
Why are you still single? "its a mystery like who is the most powerful wizard that ever exsisted?" I think you solved for mystery for everyone REAL QUICK lol love your work though, havent stopped watching since yesterday when i discovered you!
That Would Mean King Arthur Actually _WAS_ A Royal Wizard Even Though Remus Himself Said There Never Was A Wizard Of Royalty But Actually King Arthur Himself _WAS_
Ooh good question! I think what makes a wizard great is their depth and breadth of knowledge and skill and how they use that knowledge to positively impact the world around them. Merlin's legendary power was tempered by his equally legendary kindness and compassion instead of makng him arrogant. Same with Dumbledore. They were able to influence people and did so for the good of others and not just for their own personal gain.
I think it’s a tie between the most powerful wizards ever, Godric Gryffindor and Salazar Slytherin. In modern time I would without any doubt give the title to Harry Potter after have completed the last book. Merlin is an legendary powerful wizard, but he is not the only one.
A wise wizard/witch will never know the limits of their power. That's why we will never know if dumbledore was the most powerful wizard ever lived, because he was very wise.
I am sure of one thing: Quentin Pendragon is a descendant of King Arthur Pendragon. Oh, so that's the origin of Sir Cadogan. If I remember well, Sir Cadogan is one of the portraits of Gryffindor House in Hogwarts
Merlin is also a character from Seven Deadly Sins ( although this version Merlin is Female ), and teacher of Arthur Pendragon himself, King of Chaos... I think i have good Fanfic idea😂
to answer your question about what makes a great wizard i would say all of those things but also a great sense of moral compass so would you agree that Harry Potter would be one such great wizard?
There’s an anomaly in the narrative. Hogwarts was founded in 999, or thereabouts, near the end of the Middle Ages. You say Merlin was one of its first students, then used a time spell, even perhaps an early form of a time turner, to travel back to the time of King Uther. How, then, was Merlin’s half sister Morgana there as well? Did she follow in his footsteps? Almost as fantastic, I think the story should follow something closer to Muggle lore, which has a vagabond wizard appearing as early as the Sixth Century. H may have searched for mentors who could help him to deal with his prophetic dreams, and to help him reconcile his use of the ancient magic, using runes and sigils and casting circles, with the wand magic he had discovered from one of his teachers. Morgana had also learned the ancient magic, and he had visions that she may destroy Britain with her demonic powers. Merlin thought he could defeat her by merging the two methods of magic. Morgana was preserved by her magic, Merlin managed to craft the first Sorcerer’s Stone. After hundreds of years, with both Merlin and Morgana growing more powerful over time, Merlin met Slytherin, who finally provided the link Merlin required. Slytherin recognized Merlin’s great abilities, and recruited him to be the first Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts. Merlin and Slytherin had a falling out, over the issue of purebloods, and because Merlin needed to go after Morgana. Soon after, Merlin defeated Morgana. She was killed, and he was injured, although I don’t know how the legend of the Crystal Cave melds into this. At least he hid or lost his Stone.
Why there is not much on Merlin yet in any HP movies or fantastic beasts.... moreover why the 5 hidden chambers was never revealed in the HP movies ? Is the chamber of secrets one of them? Its so confusing 😭
One of those letters was from me Pendragon.... Just saying. There's something inside... I have another 6 hidden around, but erm... Keep it safe yeah? #SlitheringIn
It all seems nice until you actually see the datation of Arthurian legend. Not the legend itself, but the events it describes. These events are dated to 5.-6. century, which is way before foundation of Hogwarts 😢 Don’t get me wrong, I like this idea, but Rowling just made a mistake here…
Most powerful wizard who have ever existed and not put any of the founder of Hogwarts shocked me.. when you mention Voldemort and don’t think that Salazar Slytherin wasn’t more powerful it doesn’t make a sense when you think giving credit to Voldemort fo example to found secret chamber and be able control basilisk but don’t think more impressive is to create chamber, tamed basilisk and put it in that chamber is hilarious and other founders of Hogwarts was powerful on same level as slytherin I believe
This part of HP lore is extremely frustrating tbh… the audacity of j.rowling to claim this mythical figure , the Wizard himself, and put him under a guy she created like 20 years ago… feels like disrespectful to something far greater and obviously far older than her own books.
@@yothats.taetae5382 have you paid attention to the part where I said “in disrespectful manner”? It seems that you jumped directly to “claim something that is far greater than her own book” I think.

Just watched it with my dad, we both really enjoyed it, we cant wait for the next spellbook chronicle
You are so gifted! Really enjoying playing a video as I drive. 🌸🦉🍓🍓🍓❤️🐈
Merlin is one of the very few Slytherin alumni who has Gryffindor values.

Slytherin forever 🐍💚
Love Merlin and king Arthur ❤
Merlin could be the most powerful wizard, no doubt!!! Belonging to both worlds and rumors says he was the first to achieve traveling through time. I wish we could see him in a future Wizarding world of magic MOVIE.
They could make it a trilogy. Starting with the founders of Hogwarts to Merlins time as a Student and ending with his later life.
I never liked the fact that Merlin was on the same level as the founding fathers. He should have been more of a teacher to the founders.
Yet another most excellent video! Delving into the depths of one of the most famous wizarding figures in history has been a treat and a half.
I was wondering, could you guys do a deep dive like this for Professor Rubeus Hagrid and his family?
Awesome as always thanks ❤
Merlin the Great is another hero of mine
Merlin was Not in the Middle Ages but in the dark ages.

That's why we will never know if dumbledore was the most powerful wizard ever lived, because he was very wise.
Merlin was also the Sorcerer Supreme for a while in the Marvel Universe.
I've been a fan of Merlin stories my whole life and I've never seen him ever use a wand
Lord Voldemort is the greatest wizard ever
No- you know what? There is a controversy between Albus Dumbledore, Voldemort and Merlin on who is the most powerful. To me, that is Dumbledore.
Merlin's father irl legends says he was a demon. In HPverse Merlin's father was obviously an infamous dark wizard.
No, in Celtic mythology, Merlin is the son of Oberon. It is later missionaries that changed that story to the one we know today.
The legends are true. I knew him. He still owes me 20 galleons! And he drank A LOT of fire whiskey 🥃 cheers Mern wherever you are. Send me an owl 🦉
Merlin has side quests in the Hogwarts game with riddles and trials that are spread across the map
I am sure of one thing: Quentin Pendragon is a descendant of King Arthur Pendragon.
Oh, so that's the origin of Sir Cadogan.
If I remember well, Sir Cadogan is one of the portraits of Gryffindor House in Hogwarts
I have a feeling are main character in Hogwarts Legacy, is a decent of Merlin.
Me too
Merlin is also a character from Seven Deadly Sins ( although this version Merlin is Female ), and teacher of Arthur Pendragon himself, King of Chaos... I think i have good Fanfic idea😂
I would have thought that Merlin would have been sorted into Ravenclaw for being very powerful and clever for the powerful wizard that he is 🤔
Question. Do you just pre write everything you going to say and then push it into AI to produce the photos to represent those words ?

I wish I could send you a Christmas card.

Just his actual name is completely new information for me. Where does it say Martin the wilt?
Harry Potter and Luna Lovegood

dumb-bell-door
This is dumb, Hogwarts is not real nor is it historically related to anything to do with Merlin
Ofc Hogwarts isn’t real and Merlin in THIS specific adaption exists in the HP Universe
Hate to remind you but merlin isn't real either .
This just seems like one long video resume. We should be able to see Merlin's interests, hobbies, embarrassing stories, his actual life.
Avada kadavra
Weird how when you click translate to English is reads "Avada cadaver".....
The most powerful wizards are the Founders, Albus Dumbledore, lord Voldemort, and Harry Potter
Please tell me Merlin wasn't prejudiced against muggleborns.
You likely already figured it out by now but he wasn’t.
Bro just read it, you buying too much this role, how old are you? Find some pu55y or a55...
Wait doesn't Merlin ages backwards? He should look like a old man at Hogwarts
