The Wizardng World has introduced us to some of the most amazing and astounding creatures that we could ever imagine. We’ve seen it be taken to the next level with the Fantastic Beasts franchise, which is one of the few positives we can take from that ongoing story, however, the creature I wanna talk to you all about today is manifested directly from a certain practice of Dark Arts. An Inferius, or known collectively as inferi, is a dead body, a reanimated corpse that will do the bidding of the dark wizard who has raised it. In today’s video I’m going to explain the origins and history of the Inferi, their strengths, weaknesses and the dark magic behind their re-animation, known as necromancy. It’s a video i’ve really put a lot of work into making so I really hope you all enjoy it. Welcome back to the world of Harry Potter everyone, this is the inferi explained.

Is it just me that finds dark magic so much more interesting?
There's a lot more utility in the Dark Arks. You can be far more creative.
I find it more interesting as there are barely any boundaries to it
Now I'm wondering if Harry parent's where among the Inferi
It isn't just you. Also, I always thought Regulus was turned into an Inferius by the other Inferi. Interesting video!

@Bronwyn Zapirain Dark Arts has a bad reputation but it can b used for good. Its all about who's using it and what for, same thing goes for Whit Magic being used to help villains instead of heroes.
In the Half Blood Prince, Snape teaches the students about inferi. I believe he knew Voldemort would use them again and wanted Harry to be ready in case he were to come across them
Wasn't there inferi guarding the horcrux in the cave? Maybe he heard rumors of the dark lord's power.
@@Rockoblocko there was, but who would know about the inferi unless they had either been there or were Voldemort himself?
oh damn
Rick Mccomb possible Voldemort has some of his higher followers move the bodies to the cave?
I agree.
For me, Voldemort's cave defences was the most interesting magic in the series, really showed how brilliant he was.
Me too. It was also horrific and creepy
It’s unfortunate to see him accomplish so much so brutally efficiently. Control of the wizarding world and the government in a silent coup, capture of undesirables. But can’t compete with a house elf when it comes to harming a teenager.
SirRadish he probaly had killed somones pet and brought it back as inferi and scared the shit out of them with it 😂
400th like! ;D
Dark Energem I think he put it before he learned to fly so he needed it
Regulus didn't became an Inferi after his death, 'cause Voldemort would have to perform the ritual himself on Regulus body, and if he did that he would have noticed the changed locket...
Exactly what I thought! I think they either ate him or destroyed him in one way or another.
MyFantasticNails They most likely did both.
@@MsMeyara i dont think they ate him. But i do think decomposition would have done the job since it had been years.
I think it's possible he could have been turned, though, since we don't know exactly how the inferi were created. It could be that the water is enchanted in such a way that it can curse those dragged into its depths.
From creatures tell he died in the cave
Has anyone thought about who Harry's wand chose in olivanders? Did it choose harry or valdamorts soul?
wtf thats such a good question i've never even thought about that
Interesting...
Mind....blown!
Somebody get JK on the phone
Voldemort*
I think dumbledore meant that necromancy has never worked because it has never actually brought someone back from the dead. I think that dumbledore would only think that necromancy had truly worked is if they came back with their mind and soul.
yeah i think so. dumbledore's statement was prior to its imperfection of bringing someone back to life as he tried it himself. not even the resurrection stone could perfectly revive the deads.
I thought that too. Im pretty sure the only use of necromancy for Dumbledore would be to bring Ariana back to life!
@@gilzineto what if he had accidently made in inferi of her in the attempts? you think he would have the heart to destroy it or keep it alive hidden somewhere?
I agree 100% I was about to mention that to. I believe he stated it this way in the books: you cant bring someone back. wich in this case is true the soul has moved on an inferi is just a mindless corpse and it still keeps rotting to
@@gilzineto I dont thinks so because in her time planning things with grindlewald she was still alive. her dead is what made grindlewald leave. In the books its stated that he wanted hes parents back to watch over her again so he did not have to
The phrase “Necromancy has never worked” comes from the idea that it can’t bring people back to life, not that they couldn’t creat an Inferius. I imagine this would come from Dumbledore trying to bring Ariana back to life and finding himself with a bastardized version that has no connection to his sister other than appearance.
Yikes that give me a pet cematary vibes
I don't see how Regulus could have become an inferi, other inferi can't just "infect" dead bodies and multiply - it would require a wizard to animate him and the only one possible is Voldemort.
Now we know he never found out that Regulus was in that cave, if he did he would most likely would investigate how he found out his location and (assuming he wasn't aware to the fake horcrux) would abandon it as an hidden place in fear that other could also locate it.
Buffycomics yup, I also think so.
Unless there bite is contagious?
These spooked me really bad in half-blood prince.
Sapphire Star same
I doubt Regulus was one unless the spell cast on the inferi was contagious
Like a wizarding zombie apocalypse 😳
@@gentlecaringviolence XD
The water is probably the contagious element needed to start the process of becoming an inferi, drowning the final step.
Sometimes I wonder why Voldemort didn’t turn Dumbledores body into Inferi it would have really thrown off Hogwarts and would have messed with Harry’s mind so much
I remember reading somewhere that voldemort migh'tve had some respect for dumbledore's prowess.
He was probably afraid that he would revive Dumbledore even with his brain and that Dumbledore would come back to kick his ass xD
hey! i was wondering what would happen if your worst fear is a boggart
@Philip Arvanitidis not exactly, because the boggart doesn't take an exact shape of the subject but rather the internalized picture of the subject that their victim has. so, technically, it would assume the form of what the person assumes a boggart looks like, or the mental image of one they fear consciously or subconsciously
@@nicholasdoss3312 my image of a boggart would be something like a dementor. I guess some dark shadelike creature if this was the case.
A boggart takes the shape of your worst fear. The reason someone would fear it most is because of what its capable of [taking shape of your worst fear], therefore I believe it would take shape of something you fear, but not itself.
@@stillcold almost like a legal paradox, huh?
Being afraid of fear itself. This can be beneficial, as long as it does not hinder your performance or make you hide from living a productive happy life.
I have always wondered why Regulus didn't get Kreacher to disapparate him out of the cave?
If I remember correctly Regulus actually ordered Kreacher to leave him and save himself. Perhaps Kreacher would have been bound by elf magic to try and help his master but Regulus wasn't taking any chances in case Kreacher died too. He was a true elf lover. I bet he and Hermione would've been good friends.
And can you imagine how proud Sirius would've been of him? Both brothers died believing less of each other..💔
Kishalay .m.b.barua we don‘t know if he was a „elf lover“, only that he cared for Kreacher! It isn‘t unheard of having racist beliefs and yet still care for Individuums of that race that are close to you or that you bonded with (for example in childhood, when your beliefs weren‘t that much influenced by elder ones)
At least that what sometimes happened for example in the Slaver States of the United States of even in NS Germany
Michael Cosentino No, it wasn’t a matter of whether Kreacher was wimpy or not.
Regulus explicitly ordered Kreacher to leave him there to save himself. The elf was bound by those orders. It was something he could not overcome. Regulus wanted both Kreacher and the locket safely out of the cave.
Yeah maybe he only loved Kreacher and not all elves, but I like to believe Regulus was a bit of a Slytherin Neville😊
Kishalay .m.b.barua 😅 I don‘t think so... don‘t get me wrong, from all WE know, he most certainly was kind of a nice guy; VERY good in school (Slug Club), well liked (by his classmates), but more influenceable than his brother Sirius which is why I believe he fell for Voldemort and became a follower -> to fulfill expectations of his parents and make them proud, them who really shared Voldemort’s view on the magical World (do we certainly know he was a real deatheater with a Dark Mark? I don‘t remember correctly 🙈)
But that certainly classified him as a Slytherin Neville 😂
If Grindlewald was smart he'd have made inferi out of the battlefields of the First World War
Brisdad53 it wouldn’t make a difference they crawl any ways
@Brisdad53 *hits table* corpses *hits table* are *hits table* corpses
@@QaysSyed theyre smarter than mugglezombies
@@bradleyhowdyshell3083 but they could use rifles and overwhelm people
@@anthonyruiz8319 Ah yes. The famous zombie charge at Somme 1916
Well, technically, there should be no difference in making bodies move to making statues or suits of armour move. So I find it weird to call it necromancy, as it is actually golem crafting. If you raised people from the dead, with their original memories, wills, regrets... then I would regard it necromancy. Making zombies, moving mummies/skeletons... without a will of its own, they are just corpse golems
Not necessarily
Necromancy is to control the dead, since you control the dead bodies of once alive people means it falls under necromancy.
Keeping this in mind, the question is more does this fall under transfiguration or dark arts since it has attributes of both.
@@Happy9Lover3 I would say the matter is more subjective, as I would state that the spells necessary wouldnt be deemed dark arts in other circumstances. E.g., bombarda can be used to blow a person limb from limb, but it can also be used for swift home improvements, knocking out walls and creating new doors. Is it dark or not? Does magic know the difference between an inanimate suit of armor or an inanimate heap of flesh and bones? I think there is just a regular golem spell and a preservation spell at work here, and modern ethics is what condemns it.
Imagine an immortal workforce, never resting, eating or even getting sick/injured. Having your loved ones contributing to the wellfare of humanity after death. Mankind would have reached post-capitalism by now if it wasnt for immoral ethics.
"he wasnt planning on digging up graves anytime soon"
*flashback to goblet of fire*
He had a bone to pick with his dead dad.
So reason says that when Cedric Diggory asked him to take his body back it wasn't just for his grieving father or anybody else it was also to make sure that he did not become something like that. I mean reason says that's what it was and that he learned about it after his death and what about Harry's parents?
its never actually confirmed that Voldemort takes his victims that i know of, its just happy potter folklores idea on how he got all the bodys
Or to get a proper burial
Thankyou so much I've been wanting to know more about the darker magic/ancient magic
Also are dragons sentient
@@britishfishguy4845 About as sentient as an alligator
Inferi: AKA a magical zombie. Like, that's literally it... That's all...
i dont think that r.a.b could have been one of the inferi in the lake when harry was there because voldermort didn’t kill him himself and probably didn’t know about his death so he wouldn’t have become and infuri. he would have remained as a dead body
Ive always had that thought about RAB. Its sad cause he did have a turn of faith. Great video bruv. Cheers
Actually no regulus wasn't. Unless Voldy left a permanent spell that morphed any new corpses into new warriors.
As soon as the comparison to zombies were made, I started imagining Voldemort dancing "Thriller" with his Inferi. 😂
I wondered how inferi where made i thought it was necromancy ididn’t even know that necromancy was a thing in harry potter
Necromancy ISN'T a thing in Harry Potter.
@ Al the Alligator, in one of the books,necromancy is mentioned
Al the Alligator Necromancy is totally a thing. Voldemort is a necromancer. Remember, necromancy isn't only a "i fight with zombie army" it's the research of eternal life trought unlife. Which is exactly what Voldemort has done
Because HP uses every strereotypical type of magic. its not thought out very well at times.
They talk about mummies in old tombs that Bill helped break Curses through out back ground info from book 1-4. I am sure mummies were Infrei
I personally don't really think Voldemort would go through the trouble of fishing out Regulus Black from the cave pond in order to turn his body into an inferi. Like you said, each inferi is individually created after obtaining their body. Plus Voldemort probably wouldn't go to the cave regularly to check for new bodies in the lake when he and his death eaters already make their own dead corpses on a regular basis, plus going there regularly to increase the already large number of inferi might draw too much attention to the cave and endanger the horcrux's location.
He could just magicly transport them there, he would never need to personally transport each one. For example he could turn a small stone into a port key and place the stone in or on the body
I could see Voldemort turning albus into an inferi imagine the effect it would have on Harry and his side
Then my face would be your pikachu avatar.
Pika pika pika
Imagine if they made and 18 plus Voldemort film showing all the sick twisted stuff he did since leaving hogwars and maby show him opening the chamber
I would watch it!
Sigrid van Osch yes it would be amazing
Thats exactly what I been craving man. 18+ is a must.
I believe Regulus was not part of the inferi due to the fact Voldemort did not know he found his horocrux and so he couldn't know Regulus died in the cave and in essence didn't enchant him to fight with the others.
Regulus... more about him, please. I sense a good story behind his awakening to the cruelty of Voldemort. The perfect son of the Black family.
Thank you Dean for another great video.
I can tell that you put a lot of effort in this video, it was outstanding! I loved the quality and research behind it. Keep it up!
I was waiting for this
These inferi scared the heck out of me as a child, from the movie.
No, Regulus didn’t become an inferius, my guess is that his body was sunk to the bottom of the lake by the inferi.
It takes a dark wizard or witch to create an inferius, and Voldemort did not return to the cave to check on the locket horcrux at the bottom of the bowl filled with potion. How do we know this? The fake locket and Regulus’s note was still there for Dumbledore and Harry to find more than a decade after Regulus placed them in the bowl.
Thank you for brightening my Sunday
I love your videos. I’m glad I’m not the only one still obsessed with the world of Harry Potter!!🧙♀️🧜♀️🧚♀️
Well its 2020 now so were obsessed with get sticked bug. Rick rolled. Gnoned
Thanks for the video Dean! A very interesting topic indeed. On Inferi and necromancy in general. I would assume many wizards throughout the centuries would have tried to understand the secrets and mechanics behind such magic. Possibly even some alchemists or other scientists might have as well, just like Dumbledore and Grindelwald. It is as they're almost some kind of distantly related creatures to Dementors or something, despite the fact that Inferi are just reanimated corpses. I just find this topic disturbingly fascinating, to be honest.
The only way Regulus could have become an Inferi, in my understanding, would have been a ritual of sort.
What if Tom set up the ritual to be performed by the victim itself. The crossing over the water, like the river Styx where you left your past life behind you. The drinking of the potion, the water that makes you forget. (The river of crossing Lethe. If I remember that correctly there are three rivers in the greek underworld. ) After you drank the potion you could become an Inferi when you die directly thereafter.
Maybe the reason why Dumbledore couldn't create Inferi was because he, subconsciously or otherwise, really didn't want to. Even when he was in his "let's subjugate the Muggles" phase, he maintained that he was unwilling to use excessive force to achieve his goals; maybe he thought an army of nigh-indestructible walking corpses was a tad much. Maybe he thought of his mother as an Inferious, and the image horrified him so much, he abandoned the idea.
For someone like Voldemort, who had no ties to loved ones, no conscience, and an endless supply of bodies at his disposal, well...
And wouldn't Voldemort have to turn Regulas into an Inferious? I don't remember the lore saying anything like "those who are killed by Inferi then rise up and become one".
Probably, they just drowned him, or tore him to pieces, and his body rotted away long ago, because it wasn't protected by an anti-decay enchantment.
Well done, Dean! Really well researched and presented.
Of course not. Voldemort did not even know that he had been to the cave and discovered his locket. From what I understand of the Harry Potter universe, he would’ve had to perform the spell on regulus’s body. Love your videos mate, I may not always agree with some of your ideas, but I find your videos well researched, well thought out, and well presented! Keep going brother, we need them!
Whether RAB would become an infiri is a good question. If he would simply become an infiri by drowning in that lake, then it is possible. However, if someone needed to perform necromancy on his body, then I don't believe he was one of the infiri who attacked Harry and Dumbledore. No one except Kreacer knew that he had been to the cave until after Harry and Dumbledore went there.
I apologize for spelling mistakes. I hear names. I don't read them.
Voldemort is like that one good programmer, that can code anything.
I think what Dumbledore meant in regards to necromancy not working is that you cannot raise a specific person from the dead. You cannot replace a soul in a body and undo a death. Not that it’s impossible to make a shambling corpse move around by magic.
Really interesting video. Inferi were never something I never really understood but were always curious about
Where are you from?
I love you so much I just want to subscribe a million times ✌🏼
The reason Dumbledore marked necromancy to be a branch of magic that never worked, was because the original intention of necromancy was to bring the dead back to life. Necromancy was probably first experimented with to challenge the lack of an effective spell, that could bring back the dead, and one outcome of this experimentation was the curse that could produce inferi.
I think Dumbledore only said that Necromancy is a branch that never worked as it never became possible to bring back the dead just as they were when alive. Creating inferi is just one of the applications of Necromancy and it was also stated by Dumbledore that inferi were not seen for a few centuries and imlying that it has been done before by dark wizards. I believe Dumbledore and Grindelwald gave up on the idea of inferi as their use in a war is quite doubtful as they can not distinguish between friend and foe. Dumbledore wasn't surprised that Voldemort was able to do it.
I believe RAB would have been lying as a corpse under the water, but wouldn't have been an inferi, because Voldemort didn't know he had been in the cave as Kreacher wasn't allowed to tell anyone and how often would Voldy go back to the cave and check on his locket? He couldn't have been told by anyone that someone had touched the water, so RAB would just have been killed and that is the end of him
Thanks. I've always wondered about Inferi
Great video, as always.
I don’t think all those inferi are corpses of voldemorts victims, I think they were already there, hidden by some anchient dark wizard. That is probably why he used the cave to hide the horcrux. When he went there as a kid, he saw the inferi, also explaining why those other kids were terrified beyond recognition
0:45, that looks like Merope Gaunt
Necromancy is often different in fantasy and mythology compared to Harry potter. One major difference is a necromancer would need to plant a pseudo soul in the body as magic being used to constantly reanimate the body would destroy it.
Necromancy should also technically allow one to not only stop decay but also cause it. If Grindelwald decided to research further into necromancy it's likely he could figure out a spell to cause rapid decay in people killing them instantly. As there is magic that already involves aging it's highly likely you can make a curse like that.
Grindlewald wanted and army of them yes but Albus wanted hes parents back to watch over hes sister so he no longer had to. This info is in the books :)
Love the vids!
When Voldemort died at the end, did that eliminate the Inferi in the cave because the spellcaster died?
Thank you so much for the work you do put it, we absolutely appreciate it. Your channel is awesome. 💖
Much Frosty Love ❄️💙
I think the question you asked at the end is a very good one.
Hi Dean. Thank you so much for another masterpiece. Waited so long for your videos. Finally! Simply amazing. Can't wait for the next one. Sending you some 💓💋 and 🤗😍.
I don't think RAB was one of the attacking inferi that attacked HP and Prof. Dumbledore as voldy didn't bewitch him. RAB was just drowned by them, and his body just decomposed on the lake bed.
Great video, I love all the things that you research. Keep up the great work.
Dumbledore said necromancy was impossible because he doesn't classify mindless zombies as living, therefore not true necromancy. He was more than capable of creating inferi, but deemed it pointless
I enojoy all your videos thank you for your hard work ❤️❤️❤️ they are all done so well!! ❤️💛💚💙
Thank you so much for this video. I really appreciate the amount of research you did to create it.
Nice video man
It's not that Albus didn't believe that you could utilise inferi in this way or reanimate a corpse, its that necromancy, ie, raising the dead, didn't work in the proper sense - as in you couldn't bring the dead back to life, which is why Albus and Gellert were interested in it in the first place, in order to bring back Albus' dead sister. Its also for this reason Gellert sought the Philosophers stone.
That video and the content was amazing. Great job Dean, keep up the good work and research of Potter folklore
The fact that they the false talisman was still there, it means Tom did not visit it between RAB switching it with the fake one, and Dumbledore's visit. That means that there was no cursed on RAB's body, so no, RAB's body did not took part in any attack.
I think when Albus said necromancy never worked, he meant the dead could not be fully resurrected in the sense that they can’t bring the persons mind and soul back. I don’t think he was saying the body could not be reanimated.
It's 11pm and I'm watching this....
unlike zombies, the victim of an inferi does not become one of them. voldemort never knew of regulus' plan and had no idea harry and dumbledore had taken the locket. it seems likely that voldemort never returned to the cave to check on his horcrux, believing it to be guarded strongly enough. with nobody there to enchant regulus' corpse, it just stayed bloated and preserved under the cold water, unanimated, and undiscovered.
This reminds me of Hocus Pocus when Winifred brought back her husband, Billy, to do her bidding, except he had a brain and finally told her off! Lol
PS: Those three witches are kinda dumb. Hermione could outsmart them all three put together!
Yes!!! Thank you
I wonder who would win, Voldemort's army of Inferni vs. Nicol Bolas' Dreadhorde?
Love your channel! Good video
Pretty sure when Dumbledore said that Necromancy never worked he meant the true form of necromancy: truly bringing someone back from the dead. Not just reanimating a corpse.
In myth when zombies AKA infiri bite someone, they become one with the undead.
@Shisui San it's either a contradiction, or Zombies, Inferi, Mummies are all the same thing but with different names.
@@tomcat124us I disagree, they are all dead bodies but they all are created to do different things. Mummies nor inferi turn living humans into the undead in canon, like how zombies do. Also inferi are controlled by whomever cast the spell on them not a parasite/bad bacteria, inferi can have different motives(depending on what the caster demands), where as zombies nearly always have the same.
Zombie and mummies and inferis are dead bodies
Soo theyre same
I personally believe that Voldemort would have enchanted the lake to turn everyone who died in the lake, into an inferi, therefore increasing security everytime one got to close to his horcrux, so yes, I think Regulus was amongst the inferi that attacked Harry and Dumbledore.
As for Necromancy, I don't think Dumbledore saw it as an impossible art because he couldn't create an inferi. In all fairness, I do believe both he and Grindelwald were surely able to cast the spell to create an inferi and the Resurrection Stone would just made it easier to increase their numbers. What I think Dumbledore meant with the notion that it is futile to try to raise the dead, is because you can't truly restore life completely. There isn't a spell that can truly ressurrect a deceased person, bring them back, fully conscious and in their body. You can re-animate the corpses but they aren't their former living selves and while you can summon spirits, they are still spirits and eventually will have to return to the afterlife.
BjornV1994 Well, techically you could create an inferi of a very recently deceased, before they start to decay, and ressumon their souls to inhabit their bodies. You could also do it with ghosts. So...
@@AliceIsSleepy If a wizard or witch can create a spell or magical ritual that allows them to bind soul and body together again, fixating the soul in the body so they are alive and well again, the ultimate goal of necromancy would be achieved but based on Dumbledore's point of view, there is no known wizard or witch who have managed to accomplish this feat. No magic can resurrect truly resurrect the dead as far as he knows.
@@BjornV1994 inferis can be killed by tanks
@@imjustaneutralguy10yearsag85 True, though a bit overkill if you ask me. About any method that destroys the body of the inferi significantly enough, should do the trick if you ask me.
@@BjornV1994 how bout a volley fire from 8 guys with rifles?
I haven't read the books in a while, so I might be wrong, but... When Dumbledore said necromancy never worked, I think he meant it in another way. Like, it doesn't truly bring someone back, just gets you a mindless shell of a person
I think what he had mean by necromancy not working is because it cannot fully raise the dead back to life. I’m sure Dumbledore could make inferi if he wanted to.
I think Dumbledore meant that it doesn't work in the sense that it can't bring back the dead, i think he would've looked for ways to bring back his sister instead of making infiri
The inferi maybe senseless.. but I think one thing they learned to fear is Dumbledores fire storm..or is it fiend fyre?
No, it takes a wizard to create an inferi the dark lord never knew his hiding place had been penetrated. Until however he discovered his locket missing in "the deathly hallows" . R.A.B.'s body most likely decays at the bottom of the lake in the grasp of the endless dead.
If - IF he knew about the Inferi, Regulus might have prepped his body somehow to resist the turning or immolate himself if taken. If the area itself could turn you, then yes, he was among the dead Harry faced. Here's hoping Hermione invents invisible flames so that the Inferi in that lake can be put to rest.
Your vids are so well made! Simply put from a complicated subject.:)
Voldemort would have had to enchant regulus into an inferi and he did not know of the locket being stolen and infact states in book 7 that he thought it impossible to discover his locket horcrux, so no because if he had then he would have known about the locket being stolen.
I don't think that Dumbledore was shocked by the Inferi, or thought they were impossible to create. From the text of the Ministry's warning, it seems Inferi were known, if despised and distasteful, creatures.
I believe that when Dumbledore said that 'Necromancy is a failed art', he was referring to the inability of Necromancy to bring the subject back to his/her previous life status. After all, Dumbledore was never interested in creating hordes of mindless followers or Inferi. The only purpose he would have for any magic that deals with the dead would be to bring back his family, especially his little sister, something Necromancy could not do. The best it could do would be to turn the bodies of his loved ones into empty husks with no soul or consciousness. Therefore, to Dumbledore, Necromancy was indeed a failed art.
Regulus black couldn't have been one because the real locket was stashed away in the house on grimauld place. How did he get it back and replace it with a fake if he died in the cave?
Dark Magic for me is by far the most interesting kind of magic
I dont the Revilus black was an infiri because I dont think that the infiri have the power to make more infiri and I dont think that Voldemort just randomly revisited the cave to turn one corpse into an infiri
My Question in regards to this is why didnt Voldemort turn Dumbledore into an Inferi when he broke into his tomb to obtain the Elder Wand?
Because he wouldn't be able to...he didn't kill him...
@@andremiller4863 bruh not every inferi was killed by the owner
Sure the owner may have raised them. But that does not mean that they kiled them first
Did'nt Voldemort make the Inferi specifically to be a defence for the locket? When the locket went in and the Inferi became active, he didnt have anymore use for any more inferi?
Why would wizzard bring digging equipment instead of a WAND ??? 😁
James Bond have you tried digging a hole with a stick it’s not easy 😜😜
Albus saught out necromancy to bring back Ariana not to create infiri. He stated that necromancy was upsell because he failed to bring her back.
Surely, the concoction voldemort used to hide the locket, the actual one that makes you so thirsty that you instincly go for water from the lake, might help creating inferi. That would be THE best defense. You drink part of what creates an inferi, then proceed to die from other inferi(us?) dragging you to your final resting place.
Plus, what other place is best when you want a wizard or witch dead, but not found?
Im sure its going to be an awesome video, as always. Already hit the like button.
Voldy used a part of his soul? How could he do that? How much did he have to spare then? Is it a permanent relocation or what?
I think that Voldemort wouldn't have wanted to raise all the inferi on his own so he cursed the lake so that whoever died in the lake would become inferi but that wouldn't quite make sense because in the movie at least all of the corpses were partially rotten so if the spell preserved them that would mean that some of the corpses would be perfectly preserved.
i like your videos LOT, i subscribed.
Harry Potter Folklore thank u for answering my request for this video "a History of Inferi and Necromancy" I posted on another of yours. I do think Regulus was one as when Inferi kills u, be it straggling or drowning, anything by their hands u become an inferi yourself. "Necromancy never works" Albus says he probably meant back in the old days people were still trying to raise the dead; to completely resurrect them which NEVER WORKS, dead is dead.
those things are literally one of the most terrifying creatures out of the whole series
