There's also 3 main wand core that Ollivander use in his wand that he sells and all 3 of it (dragon heartstring, unicorn hair, phoenix feather) is the core of the wands of golden trio, and also there's 3 magical blood (that can do magic) pure blood, half blood, and muggleborn. This 3 blood is also the blood of the golden trio. (Sorry for my grammar)
well the weasleys are a pure-blood family but they are regarded as blood traitors. So they no longer count as pure-blood. also, a theory that I have thought of is that magic could be genetic. Like muggleborns might have a witch or wizard in their family lineage. For example, Hermione Granger was muggle born, but there was a time where Slughorn thought she was related to some wizard named Hector Dagworth-Granger, who invented some kind of famous spell. While the character was only mentioned once so he and Hermione have no relation, maybe he could have been a distant ancestor. Again, this is probably not true, just a thought.
Harry is a half blood (Mother lily is a muggle, whereas Dad James is a pure blood), same as both Voldemort (muggle dad, witch mam) and Snape (not sure on heritage but he is the half blood prince)
There is also the Granger and Crouch family. Harry had 3 father figures in Hagrid, Sirius and Dumbledore. Harry also had 3 wands that were loyal to him his own, Draco’s and the elder wand.
I think it counts that three mother's save Harry's life from Voldemort. His own mother because the power of love, his aunt Petunia because she shares her sister's blood thus having a protection spell until his 17th year, and Draco Malfoy's mom who lie to Voldemort after finding out her son was still alive.
@sonabansal7233 You make a good point, but I didn't forget Molly. However, I was mostly talking about Harry being saved from Voldemort from a life and death situation. I love Molly though, but reading from the novels I don't remember Molly save Harry's life from Voldemort's threat.
More trios that other people have commented: 1. Ollivanderʼs three wand cores - phoenix feather, Unicorn hair, dragon heartstring 2. Blood types - Pureblood, Half-blood, Muggle-born 3. The Lupins 1.0 - Remus, Lyall and Hope, and the Lupins 2.0 - Teddy, Remus and Nymphodora 4. The Grangers - Hermione and her Muggle parents 5. The Prewett siblings - Molly, Fabian and Gideon Other things that Iʼve noticed: 6. The Lockhart siblings - Gilderoy and his two Squib sisters 7. The three people Voldemort kills to get to the Elder Wand - Mykew Gregorovitch, Gellert Grildewald and Severus Snape 8. The times Harry misses the Sorting - Book 2, Book 3 and Book 6 9. The three locations Voldemort visits to determine if his horcuxes had been stolen - the bank, the cave and Hogwarts 10. Each character who smells Amortentia in Book 6 names three things they can smell 11. Bill and Fleurʼs children - Victoire, Louis and Dominique
During his years at Hogwarts, the Dursleys give Harry three Christmas gifts: a sixpence, a toothpick and a tissue. There is a theory that theese three items refect the Resurrection Stone, the Elder Wand and the Invisibility Cloak.
@@catgirl7765 I wasn't calling the theory crazy, I was just saying that maybe someone was reading too much into it. But now that I've thought about it a bit more, I actually think this is some really great foreshadowing and attention to detail from the author.
1) Ted Tonks, Dean Thomas and Gornuk - tried to escape Voldemort and the ministry as a trio. 2) Voldemort 's original name was Tom Marvolo Riddle (three word name) 3) Harry's Children also had three word names : James Sirius Potter, Albus Severus Potter, Lilly Luna Potter. 4) Dumbledore was offered the position of Minister of magic 3 times, refusing it everytime. (It is a reference to Julius Caesar refusing the crown three times as mentioned in Mark Antony's speech after the assassination of Caesar). 5) Ron, Fred and George were the 3 people who came to rescue Harry from the Dursleys in the beginning of Chamber of Secrets.
Um doesn't everyone have a first, middle, and last name? Isn't that pretty much the norm? So how is that an outstanding three? If If people normally have a first, middle, and last name?
- Bill & Fleur had 3 kids (Victoire, Dominic & Louis - Remus, Tonks & Teddy is a family of tree - 3 out of the 4 marauders are related leaving 1 out (James & Sirius are related someway & Remus became their relative when he married tonks) - There are 3 known Bloodlines which is PureBlood, Half-Blood, & Muggle Born - Harry won 3 times in a row in quidditch - Ruby Trio(? Idk what others called it) this trio was another group that draco was apart of but instead of Crabbe & Goyle they were switched with Pansy & Blaise
You have the Golden Trio The Slytherin Trio the anti golden trio and the silver trio its actually 4 trios during harry school years because draco didn't just have the slytherin trio he was part of another trio called the anti gold trio
The difference between anti gold trio and the slytherin trio the anti gold trio member was Draco Pansy and Blaise where the slytherin trio was Draco Crabbe Goyle
3 head masters from the current hogwarts staff, dumbledore, mcgonagall and snape. They are the legend trio as well. 3 snakes harry spoke to, the one in the zoo, the one in dueling club and nagini as bathilda bagshot 3 horcruxes harry destroyed, the diary, diadem and himself 3 slytherins who regretted joining/helping voldemort/ changed sides, snape, slughorn and RAB
I think this all connects with in real life religions and in mythology. Like in Greek mythology, there’s three brothers, Zeus, Poseidon, an Hades. Like the brothers, there’s three sisters. Three realms, the heavens, earth, and the underworld. And how the Trojan war began was Paris choosing one of three goddesses who was the most beautiful. Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. So the number 3 shows up a lot in mythology and in religion.
Amazing how often you found the number 3. Normally I think of the number 7 in Harry Potter, so I never realized how often the 3 appears. However I can think of five more examples: 1. There are three Grangers 2. When Harry first meets Ron he says he wished to have three wizard brothers 3. Three of the four Hogwarts relicts were turned into horcruxes 4. When Hagrid showed his class some Thestrals there were three students that could see them (Harry, Luna and Neville) 5. The Knight Bus is a Tripple Decker
3 and 5 are in the video and with 4 it's Potter, Longbottom, and Nott and not (pun unintentional) Love good as she is a year lower then Harry and Neville
Great video. I think it should also be noted that the rule of 3 is a very common writing technique which can be conscious and unconscious. Seven is an extension of the rule of 3 as 6 is an even number and so in writing is uncomfortable as there is no northern point. e.g. if a scene has 6 people, there is no central character whereas in a 3, 5 or 7 the main character is flanked by equal numbers on each side.
I agree that the punishement Dumbledore's father got is harsh IF you know why he attacked the boys. But he never revealed why he killed them because he didn't want Ariana to be locked up. So his accusers probably assumed he did it simply because he hated muggles. Considering this the punishment makes sense.
There's also a couple in the final battle: Ernie McMillan, Luna Lovegood, and Seamus Finnigan all cast Patronuses to ward off dementors who are swarming the golden trio; Slughorn, McGonagall, and Kingsley Shacklebolt are all fighting Voldemort before Harry arrives; before Molly going up to fight (and kill) Bellatrix she was duelling Luna, Ginny, and Hermione. Oh, and another one, is that there were three Gryffidor girls in Harry's year, Lavender, Parvati, and Hermione, though the friend group was Lavender, Parvati, and Padma. And one more, there are three different balls in quidditch: a quaffle, bludgers, and a golden snitch
Great video Morgan! I have 3 more examples for things you have forgotten: 1.By the time of the 3rd book there are 3 marauders alive (I love the reunion scene in both the book and the movie). 2.Remus is an only child, so he and his parents were another trio. 3.Speaking of Remus he married Nymphadora Tonks and had Teddy, so for a short while they were 3 as well.
A couple from the HP Wiki: Fluffy, the three-headed dog, guarded the passage to the sorcerer's stone in the 3rd floor corridor: Harry was 1 yr and 3 months old when Voldemort murdered his parents And having recently seen the films, there are a handful I can recall (not sure if it lines up with the books): in the dungeon in Malfoy Manor, there are 3 "people" locked up when Harry and Ron are thrown in: Ollivander, Griphook, and Luna; protection charms are used in groups of 3, both when the golden trio use them in the wilderness (Protego Maxima, Salvio Hexia, and Repellum Mugglum (sp?) and when the professors use them to protect Hogwarts before the battle (Protego Maxima + 2 others I can't remember the name of).
Especially in Thomas and Friends. 3 engines were the first to work on the railway, 3 engines went on strike when they didn't want to shunt coaches. One of which was Henry, who was the third engine on the railway. He even had "3" painted on his tender.
The numbers 3 and 7 being significant also found in LOTR may be borrowed from consciously or subconsciously. 3 Hallows - 3 Silmaril, 7 Horcruxes - 7 Dwarven Rings.
In all fairness, 3 and 7 show up in a lot of places across mythology and fiction in general. Anyways, a few more 3s: Hogwarts is divided into 3 of what I believe would be called forms in Muggle British schooling: Beginner: Years 1-2, everyone takes te 7 core classes. Middle: Years 3-5: Everyone continues taking the core classes and adds 2-3 electives. Concludes with the OWL exams. Advanced: Years 6-7: Students can drop core classes if they want to and may drop their electives. Concludes with the NEWT exams. Also, Harry had 3 Good DADA teachers(LUpin, Fake Moody, and Snape) and 3 bad DADA instructors(Quirrel, Lockhart, and Umbitch) Dumbledore had three middle names and held three positions of authority. three of the Horcruxes where destroyed with Gryffindor's sword(The Locket, the Ring, and Nagini). Three of the Book titles reference powerful magical artifacts(Philosopher's Stone, Goblet of Fire, and Deathly Hallows). There are three main classes of offensive spell: Jinx, Hex, and Curse. More Trios: Three Weasley brothers Harry was close to(Ron, Fred, and George), 3 Weasley Brothers he had looser ties too(Bill, Charlie, and Percy), 3 Prewett Siblings(Molly, Fabeian and Giddeon), 3 significant Half-Bloods with miserable childhoods(Harry, Tom, and Snape), 3 Gryffindor Girls in Harry's year that are mentioned regularly(Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati). There are 3 types of coin used by Wizards: Knuts, Sickles, and Galleons. Harry has had 3 adventures involving Dragons: Norberta, THe First Task, and the Gringotts Heist. Each Hogwarts house has 3 prefects of each sex at any given time. There are 3 standard pets allowed at Hogwarts: Owls, Toads, and Cats. Three of the Heads of House during Harry's time at Hogwarts have Alliterative names. And while another commenter mentioned a few characters with 3-part names, I don't think that really counts since 3-part names are the norm in the English speaking world... Though, Harry Potter is rather unusual in just how many of its characters have known middle names when so many other works of fiction will only give use a afirst and last name for characters who can, by naming norms of the real world culture the setting is embedded within, be assumed to have middle names... and with how some works don't even give us character's last names or give us last names but then leave characters' parents unnamed or similar.
I quickly wanted to point out that the number 4 also appears quite a bit. (the 4 houses, alongside their founders, relics, etc. The Marauders and in Legacy: the 4 Keepers (and trials) and the wand movement of the Imperius Curse)
I think the use of three is a reference to the Greek Goddess Hecate. She was the goddess of the moon and magic. She's also known as the triple goddess with three parts. Maiden, Mother, Crone. It could also be a tribute to the Three Fates of Greek mythology and the three Norns of Nordic mythology.
I only watched Harry Potter movies and have only few knowledge about Books 1. Chamber of secrets was opened by 3 people other then Slytherins - Ginny, Harry & Ron 2.out of 7 Horcrux - 3 Horcrux was destroyed by Sword of Gryffindor (Voldemort' Ring, Slytherin's Locket and Nagini ) & 3 Horcrux was destroyed by Basilisk Venomous fang ( Tom Riddle's diary, Hufflepuff Cup and Ravenclaw diadem) 3. 3 person killed in 4th book. Old man in cemetery, Barty crouch senior and Cedric digary 4. Harry uses spell 3 times outside of Hogwarts when he was in underage 5. Harry raides 3 different flying creatures Buckpeak, Dragon in Gringgards and Thestrals 6. Harry went Ministry of magic 3 times 7. 3 House elfs Dobby, Kreacher and Winky
In the statue scene' piertotum locomotor' you can see three statues land on the ground in a triangular shape. Even the status are a lot, but in the particular clip there was three.
Because the number 3 is so ingrained in Christian iconography ( father , son, Holy Ghost) it is why used so much in English literature. Jk intentional tried to avoid it but it is very hard as it is the default grouping un·con·sciously
Brilliant video, really enjoyed it, I live all the research you clearly put into your videos. I watch abs read these myself countless times but I couldn't videos like this x

Hey, Morgan! I have a video idea that I though would be cool. You should compare the charachters in the book to their movie counterparts. For example, in the books Harry has green eyes but Daniel Radcliffe has blue eyes in the movies. Just though this would be a cool video idea and I would love to see it. Keep up the good work!
i dont think the number three is that significant. I'd bet in almost any book or movie series there would be plenty of instances of things happening three times, or groups of three. Three is just a good number because each member balances the other out. 2 is too few, and 4 is too many.
I'm still very impressed with your work and I do hope when I copy and pasted my "Life of" story based around your narrative style that you were flatter. Again, I'm so impressed with your work I couldn't think of anyone else who do them if they're real. And I'm able to pick up narrtives really easy. As for three? I think Dobby tried three times in the second book to save harry before being set free. At the dursley, platform 9/3 and the bludger. He did those three before he was set free. And in the third book Harry meets his father three friends in the same year. SInce no one knew Scabbers was Wormtail it doesn't count till he's forced to become human again.
Three Trials of the Triwizard Tournament, three triwizard champions, three of the champions that are uncorrupted in the 4th book, and three types of wizard currency. By the way, that’s a sick Phillies outfit dude!
True you can't blame Albus's father, but remember how the Ministry reacts to anyone endangering the Statute of Secrecy. It was endangering the statute, not the assault on the boys that gained him the harsh punishment.
The lovegoods were a family of three, as were the Lupins,Tonks’s and probably a few others. Never truly realised the importance of three. Great video Morgan :) Edit: technically after dumbledores death Snape knew about the horcurxes but after his death there was only three
But Luna's mom died way before the series even started. Luna says she was 9 at the time and doesn't remember much about her. Wouldn't that make this a pair instead of a trio?
@@humairahkazi2459well considering she was 9 I think we can still count it as a trio that became a pair. There was enough time with her mother for it to count in my opinion. He also counts the Potters who had 1 year together
Things in 3 in Harry Potter *Deathly Hallows:* Elder Wand, Resurrection Stone, & Cloak of Invisibility *Pets:* Headwig, Crookshanks & Scabbers *Horcruxes found before the hunt:* Tom Riddle's Diary, Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, & Salazar Slytherin's Locket *Weasley-Johnson Love Triangle:* Fred Weasley, George Weasley & Angelina Johnson
There are the three stones that together create the philospher stone at the final part of its creation. But I guess that is extended wizarding world lore
Now if you could find a way to explain the obsession with socks and the color purple in the books that would be great. I did a search and socks are named something like 40 times in the books. It may not be that high but it’s high. And she uses purple to describe many thing. Or shades of it like lilac or lavender. It is very prevalent and more so than one of the two colors wizards usually wear in public. Check it out I checked socks are mentioned 76 times thru the 7 books. That’s more than 10 times per book on average!
MovieFlame, With this much knowledge about HP and the fact that you have read the books 100s of time and watched the movies and analysed every second of them, could you reach to WB and help them in the HP TV series, probably impossible but worth a try?
There was 3 ‘wizards’ in Privet Drive the night Dudley got attacked by the dementors. Harry, Mrs Figg and Mundungus Fletcher. The forbidden corridor was also on the third floor.

Bruh@@DJKE616 almost every name has 3 initials
There's also 3 main wand core that Ollivander use in his wand that he sells and all 3 of it (dragon heartstring, unicorn hair, phoenix feather) is the core of the wands of golden trio, and also there's 3 magical blood (that can do magic) pure blood, half blood, and muggleborn. This 3 blood is also the blood of the golden trio. (Sorry for my grammar)
WAIT HOW? THE GOLDEN trio isn't comprised of the 3 bloodlines,both Ron and Harry are purebloods and Hermoine is a muggleborn.
well the weasleys are a pure-blood family but they are regarded as blood traitors. So they no longer count as pure-blood.
also, a theory that I have thought of is that magic could be genetic. Like muggleborns might have a witch or wizard in their family lineage.

While the character was only mentioned once so he and Hermione have no relation, maybe he could have been a distant ancestor.
Again, this is probably not true, just a thought.
Harry’s mom is a muggleborn, so, he’s actually half-blood!@@lethemkno3079
Harry is a half blood (Mother lily is a muggle, whereas Dad James is a pure blood), same as both Voldemort (muggle dad, witch mam) and Snape (not sure on heritage but he is the half blood prince)
@@lethemkno3079 Harry's mum is literally a muggleborn, thats the entire reason Harry lived with Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon.
There is also the Granger and Crouch family. Harry had 3 father figures in Hagrid, Sirius and Dumbledore. Harry also had 3 wands that were loyal to him his own, Draco’s and the elder wand.
For the fathers I would include Lupin and Mr Weasley
@@jemonhasan7365yeah
I was gonna say Hermione family too
Also there is Lupin, Tonks and Teddy
He said the Crouch family already
I think it counts that three mother's save Harry's life from Voldemort. His own mother because the power of love, his aunt Petunia because she shares her sister's blood thus having a protection spell until his 17th year, and Draco Malfoy's mom who lie to Voldemort after finding out her son was still alive.
Ooooo YES
Molly she saved him from mental trauma and basically was her mother and even said that he was as good as her son, how did you forget her
@sonabansal7233 You make a good point, but I didn't forget Molly. However, I was mostly talking about Harry being saved from Voldemort from a life and death situation. I love Molly though, but reading from the novels I don't remember Molly save Harry's life from Voldemort's threat.
I'm sorry but ur wrong Molly Weasley also protected h because in 7th book remember she put loads of enchantments up to protect him.
There are 4 mothers though bc molly saved him from Voldemort like letting him stay at the burrow and Grimald place when he wasn’t at the dursleys
More trios that other people have commented:
1. Ollivanderʼs three wand cores - phoenix feather, Unicorn hair, dragon heartstring
2. Blood types - Pureblood, Half-blood, Muggle-born
3. The Lupins 1.0 - Remus, Lyall and Hope, and the Lupins 2.0 - Teddy, Remus and Nymphodora
4. The Grangers - Hermione and her Muggle parents
5. The Prewett siblings - Molly, Fabian and Gideon
Other things that Iʼve noticed:
6. The Lockhart siblings - Gilderoy and his two Squib sisters
7. The three people Voldemort kills to get to the Elder Wand - Mykew Gregorovitch, Gellert Grildewald and Severus Snape
8. The times Harry misses the Sorting - Book 2, Book 3 and Book 6
9. The three locations Voldemort visits to determine if his horcuxes had been stolen - the bank, the cave and Hogwarts
10. Each character who smells Amortentia in Book 6 names three things they can smell
11. Bill and Fleurʼs children - Victoire, Louis and Dominique
Harry misses the Sorting in the 7th book too
Veela hair is also a wand core. At least Fleur has it, and maybe others from Beauxbatons.

And having recently seen the films, there are a handful I can recall (not sure if it lines up with the books): in the dungeon in Malfoy Manor, there are 3 "people" locked up when Harry and Ron are thrown in: Ollivander, Griphook, and Luna; protection charms are used in groups of 3, both when the golden trio use them in the wilderness (Protego Maxima, Salvio Hexia, and Repellum Mugglum (sp?) and when the professors use them to protect Hogwarts before the battle (Protego Maxima + 2 others I can't remember the name of).

Number 3 is even powerful in general pop culture muggle world
Especially in Thomas and Friends. 3 engines were the first to work on the railway, 3 engines went on strike when they didn't want to shunt coaches. One of which was Henry, who was the third engine on the railway. He even had "3" painted on his tender.
this is like a throwback to the number 7 video
The numbers 3 and 7 being significant also found in LOTR may be borrowed from consciously or subconsciously. 3 Hallows - 3 Silmaril, 7 Horcruxes - 7 Dwarven Rings.
And in the triwizard tournament, cedric died so it made it into a trio.
And in the RWS, 3 tender engines were the first to work on Sir Topham Hatt's railway: Edward, Gordon and Henry.
I remember well about the number 3 being a Magic Number and it actually makes sense for that number to be used a lot all throughout the series.

Surprised you didn't mention Molly and her two brothers.
And the first 3 engines to work on the NWR on Sodor
In all fairness, 3 and 7 show up in a lot of places across mythology and fiction in general.
Anyways, a few more 3s:
Hogwarts is divided into 3 of what I believe would be called forms in Muggle British schooling:
Beginner: Years 1-2, everyone takes te 7 core classes.
Middle: Years 3-5: Everyone continues taking the core classes and adds 2-3 electives. Concludes with the OWL exams.
Advanced: Years 6-7: Students can drop core classes if they want to and may drop their electives. Concludes with the NEWT exams.
Also, Harry had 3 Good DADA teachers(LUpin, Fake Moody, and Snape) and 3 bad DADA instructors(Quirrel, Lockhart, and Umbitch)
Dumbledore had three middle names and held three positions of authority.
three of the Horcruxes where destroyed with Gryffindor's sword(The Locket, the Ring, and Nagini).
Three of the Book titles reference powerful magical artifacts(Philosopher's Stone, Goblet of Fire, and Deathly Hallows).
There are three main classes of offensive spell: Jinx, Hex, and Curse.
More Trios: Three Weasley brothers Harry was close to(Ron, Fred, and George), 3 Weasley Brothers he had looser ties too(Bill, Charlie, and Percy), 3 Prewett Siblings(Molly, Fabeian and Giddeon), 3 significant Half-Bloods with miserable childhoods(Harry, Tom, and Snape), 3 Gryffindor Girls in Harry's year that are mentioned regularly(Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati).
There are 3 types of coin used by Wizards: Knuts, Sickles, and Galleons.
Harry has had 3 adventures involving Dragons: Norberta, THe First Task, and the Gringotts Heist.
Each Hogwarts house has 3 prefects of each sex at any given time.
There are 3 standard pets allowed at Hogwarts: Owls, Toads, and Cats.
Three of the Heads of House during Harry's time at Hogwarts have Alliterative names.
And while another commenter mentioned a few characters with 3-part names, I don't think that really counts since 3-part names are the norm in the English speaking world... Though, Harry Potter is rather unusual in just how many of its characters have known middle names when so many other works of fiction will only give use a afirst and last name for characters who can, by naming norms of the real world culture the setting is embedded within, be assumed to have middle names... and with how some works don't even give us character's last names or give us last names but then leave characters' parents unnamed or similar.
A lot of those comes from the families that either have 1 or 3 kids because you can make a trio out of it.

This was a video I wasn’t expecting but it sure is a good one
Really nice! There are three pubs : the leaky cauldron, the three broomsticks and the hog’s head
I quickly wanted to point out that the number 4 also appears quite a bit. (the 4 houses, alongside their founders, relics, etc. The Marauders and in Legacy: the 4 Keepers (and trials) and the wand movement of the Imperius Curse)

I think the use of three is a reference to the Greek Goddess Hecate. She was the goddess of the moon and magic. She's also known as the triple goddess with three parts. Maiden, Mother, Crone. It could also be a tribute to the Three Fates of Greek mythology and the three Norns of Nordic mythology.

I only watched Harry Potter movies and have only few knowledge about Books
1. Chamber of secrets was opened by 3 people other then Slytherins - Ginny, Harry & Ron
2.out of 7 Horcrux - 3 Horcrux was destroyed by Sword of Gryffindor (Voldemort' Ring, Slytherin's Locket and Nagini ) & 3 Horcrux was destroyed by Basilisk Venomous fang ( Tom Riddle's diary, Hufflepuff Cup and Ravenclaw diadem)
3. 3 person killed in 4th book. Old man in cemetery, Barty crouch senior and Cedric digary
4. Harry uses spell 3 times outside of Hogwarts when he was in underage
5. Harry raides 3 different flying creatures Buckpeak, Dragon in Gringgards and Thestrals
6. Harry went Ministry of magic 3 times
7. 3 House elfs Dobby, Kreacher and Winky
He said the house elfs
The Diadem was destroyed by the demon fire in the room of requiremend.
@@sawanna508 Harry first stabbed Diadem with Basilisk fang then they threw it into demon fire
I guess I've always noticed the '7' thing but this is new! :))
6:49 I was gonna say the three names for elder wand the deathstick, wand of destiny and elder wand
"Why is it when something happens, it is always you three?"
In the statue scene' piertotum locomotor' you can see three statues land on the ground in a triangular shape. Even the status are a lot, but in the particular clip there was three.
Because the number 3 is so ingrained in Christian iconography ( father , son, Holy Ghost) it is why used so much in English literature. Jk intentional tried to avoid it but it is very hard as it is the default grouping un·con·sciously
Ofcourse there are many of 3s. It's one of the faritails number. Besides 7, no.3 is the most common. Good job of numbering the n.3s.
Fun fact: the numbers three and seven were both used a lot in fairytales like snowwhite and the seven dwarfs and how there’s three Cinderella movies
Video really starts at 2:20
The number 3 feels like the number that isn't too little or too much, it's just right. Also the same could probably apply to the number 5.

Before the vid
Hey, Morgan! I have a video idea that I though would be cool. You should compare the charachters in the book to their movie counterparts. For example, in the books Harry has green eyes but Daniel Radcliffe has blue eyes in the movies. Just though this would be a cool video idea and I would love to see it. Keep up the good work!
I would love to see this just because there are so many differences between all the books and all the moves. What a Great idea!
All of you here probably finished the books and movies at least three times.
unpopular opinion but harry potter is my favourite harry potter character
same
Nothing wrong with that, infact it's a pretty often choice for favorite character:)
@@jemonhasan7365 actually its not
i dont think the number three is that significant. I'd bet in almost any book or movie series there would be plenty of instances of things happening three times, or groups of three. Three is just a good number because each member balances the other out. 2 is too few, and 4 is too many.
Never realized it, but there are four founding members
Wow! I never quite realized how extensively the number 3 was used. Great video. Thanks.
Let's not forget 3 railway engines who were the first on Topham's railway, Edward, Gordon and Henry.

In lego harry potter you combine 3 different items to create potions 😄
True
Plus you can find and collect 3 unlockable characters per level
Early potterheads! where are you?
You have to tap your wand 3 times on the statue of the one eyed witch & say Dissendium
3 is the magic number
A few more:
-Tonks’ family: Tonks, Remus, and Teddy
-Snape asks Harry 3 questions about potions on his first day.

You know the term “Third time’s the charm,” right?
I'm still very impressed with your work and I do hope when I copy and pasted my "Life of" story based around your narrative style that you were flatter. Again, I'm so impressed with your work I couldn't think of anyone else who do them if they're real.
And I'm able to pick up narrtives really easy. As for three? I think Dobby tried three times in the second book to save harry before being set free.
At the dursley, platform 9/3 and the bludger. He did those three before he was set free. And in the third book Harry meets his father three friends in the same year. SInce no one knew Scabbers was Wormtail it doesn't count till he's forced to become human again.

@@TheMoviePodium I'm not on social media and I don't even know what a podcast is.
Three Trials of the Triwizard Tournament, three triwizard champions, three of the champions that are uncorrupted in the 4th book, and three types of wizard currency. By the way, that’s a sick Phillies outfit dude!
True you can't blame Albus's father, but remember how the Ministry reacts to anyone endangering the Statute of Secrecy. It was endangering the statute, not the assault on the boys that gained him the harsh punishment.
It didn't help that they were never told the reason for the attack
I think there are gonna be a lot of pairs of 1
The lovegoods were a family of three, as were the Lupins,Tonks’s and probably a few others. Never truly realised the importance of three. Great video Morgan :)
Edit: technically after dumbledores death Snape knew about the horcurxes but after his death there was only three
But Luna's mom died way before the series even started. Luna says she was 9 at the time and doesn't remember much about her. Wouldn't that make this a pair instead of a trio?
@@humairahkazi2459well considering she was 9 I think we can still count it as a trio that became a pair. There was enough time with her mother for it to count in my opinion. He also counts the Potters who had 1 year together
Things in 3 in Harry Potter
*Deathly Hallows:* Elder Wand, Resurrection Stone, & Cloak of Invisibility
*Pets:* Headwig, Crookshanks & Scabbers
*Horcruxes found before the hunt:* Tom Riddle's Diary, Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, & Salazar Slytherin's Locket
*Weasley-Johnson Love Triangle:* Fred Weasley, George Weasley & Angelina Johnson
MIND BLOWN!!! Thank you for THIS!!
It's interesting how 3&7 are lucky numbers that are both next to unlucky numbers 4&6
I know it's not really related but it's something I just noticed
There are the three stones that together create the philospher stone at the final part of its creation. But I guess that is extended wizarding world lore
When you take your teacher’s promotion of the rule of three too far
Now if you could find a way to explain the obsession with socks and the color purple in the books that would be great. I did a search and socks are named something like 40 times in the books. It may not be that high but it’s high. And she uses purple to describe many thing. Or shades of it like lilac or lavender. It is very prevalent and more so than one of the two colors wizards usually wear in public. Check it out
I checked socks are mentioned 76 times thru the 7 books. That’s more than 10 times per book on average!
Agreed 100%. You should check out our Harry Potter Podcast!
Purple is associated with magic/mystery. So in a world of wizards it would be a popular colour.
76= 4 +72, 4 houses and 72 very divisible by 3
@@Markus2E5I6 yeah and I get that but it is in there a lot!!!! And the socks thing is so weird to me
j.k likes socks ig???
Great video Morgan 😁😁
in the first book when harry gets the mail there are three letters the post card from anut marge the bill and of corse harry hogwarts letter
Every student at Hogwarts can choose between three different animals/pets to bring to school
Ollivanders only uses 3 different wand cores
MovieFlame, With this much knowledge about HP and the fact that you have read the books 100s of time and watched the movies and analysed every second of them, could you reach to WB and help them in the HP TV series, probably impossible but worth a try?

actually "3" is technically a motif and not a theme.
The number three is surprisingly common in writing
Yep, especially in the Railway Series.
Omg wow great videos as always. Thanks for posting. 👍🤓
There's also the granger family and if you didnt know the trio consisting of dumbledore, snape, and mcgonagall is called the legendary trio
I think J.K.Rowling past life was Nikola Tesla, he did everything in three's LOL!
There was 3 ‘wizards’ in Privet Drive the night Dudley got attacked by the dementors.
Harry, Mrs Figg and Mundungus Fletcher.
The forbidden corridor was also on the third floor.
Great video.ookkng foward to all the hidden Easter eggs in half blood prince video. Also nice jersey. Go phillies!
