I think some people confuse plot holes with characters not making the perfect decisions, because they’re human.
That's such a good point.
Literally perfect. Sometimes there's simply too many things to take into perspective, especially with JK's fantasy world.
There is a difference between not making perfect decisions because of understandable reasons, and making out of character mistakes, which for a character that is characterized by their cleverness can be considered a plot hole.
Also, if the characters in the story are humans, then that is moreso true for the writer making them, therefore JK is capable of mistakes, namely, plot holes.
Yes good point. Just like that marauders map thing, this a problem created by the movie makers.
If the character never even considered the logical decision, or didn't have a good reason to ignore the logical decision, then it is a plot hole.
To really answer the flaw of the 7 potters plot hole you have to remember that Dumbledore told Snape he had to give the Death Eaters the real plan... This means no matter what the plan was it would get interrupted.
OHHH GOOD ANSWER. Plus, that would mean that if the death eaters attacked them on muggle transport, it would cause a massive secrecy breach, so he couldn't possibly make mundungus suggest that plan to the order.
So not only was Snape keeping up Voldemort's trust in him, he was also protecting the Statute of Secrecy.
Yeah I was thinking the same I thought he was konna say this part
Snape gave the date, but not the 7 potters plan. Snape caused Mundungus to think it was his idea in order to maintain Voldemort's trust.
But what everybody is missing is that Voldemort wanted to kill Harry himself, so by turning 6 people into Harry, they essentially protected them from killing curses from every Death Eater, because they would not risk hitting the real Harry by accident. The fact that they killed Moody after Mundungus disapparated was because they no longer risked killing actual Harry, if the curse would miss.
@mortarteam11 Actually, I think that Voldemort was the one that chased Moody, so there is no conflict with the order of who was to kill Harry.
McGonagall told Umbridge exactly how many years she'd been teaching in Order of the Phoenix. She was put in the Fantastic Cashgrabs movies as a memberberry, and also to pretend that Dumbledore was the DADA teacher instead of Transfiguration, which was revealed in Chamber of Secrets.
There could be a loophole if they consider it. Minerva McGonagall's great-grandmother Minerva Ross could have still been alive before the 1930's when our Minerva was said to have been born. Wizards live longer lifes then Humans so Great-Grandma Minerva could be the possible answer. While yes genetics would prevent this, we don't know if Wizard genetics have a stronger impact on the appearance over the Human half, seeing Minerva is said to be a Half-Blood, but we don't know if Great-Grandma Minerva was a pure blood or not.
I mean Dumbledore could have been DADA for a time in his youth not very surprising given his past fight against the dark arts
First fantastic beasts was okay at best. The rest fucking sucked. I legit could not finish the third one
Actually, the one about the death eaters' wands is a really good point. Bellatrix's wand is specifically used as identification, unless we're meant to believe she re-registered her replacement wand at Gringotts following her escape? When she was a fugitive?
I don't think Charlie's wand was one that chose him, either, it probably belonged to one of Molly's brothers, but to Ron it was "Charlie's old wand".
We don't actually know who every deatheater is by job, right? If one is in magical law enforcement, they could have simply, hidden the wands?
If I remember right. Ollivander said in Deeathly Hallows (book) that he was forced to make a new wand for Bellatrix, as well as the other Deatheaters.
I think she (or her family) had extra wands, she was wealthy
I dont think the wands were snapped in the books, i think they disarmed them and kept their wands in Azkaban or at the ministry, which then a spy at the ministry could have just taken them and left fakes in their place.
Yes but I assume you refer to the identification In deadly hollows at gringots when in fact Hermoine was Bellatrix and at that time Voldemort allready had the ministry and then it would have been very easy to have the wand registered
Sirius wasn't given a trial. He was thrown straight into Azkaban by Crouch senior.
Good point.
We could wonder if anybody got a fair trial. Crouch sr. was very desperate to show the wizarding world how many Death Eaters he could get into jail.
When his own son was on trial it was clear it didn't even matter if Crouch jr. was an actual Death eater or not (the movie said the evidence was overwhelming but in the book Sirius says the exact opposite and that nobody knew if Crouch jr. was guilty or not, so it was actually dumb luck he turned out to be one). The "trial" Bagman got also shows this, but Bagman was saved by his Quidditch successes. So basically we can say that verataserum wasn't used in that trial for the same reason it wasn't used in Harry's trial. They couldn't risk Verataserum turning out to be evidence of innosense.
True Potion is illegal... Does no one realize this? If you can use it on the criminals, it can be used, just as easily, on you. No politician would want that. XD
@@garcardosotan6172 plus, muggles and the aurors saw Sirius laughing hysterically. That was like a proof of his guilt
@@garcardosotan6172 Not only that. Who knows what those criminals may all reveal. You'd be surprised how far political heavyweights are often involved in the most repulsive crimes, and it's clear the wizarding world is no different from the muggle world in that regard. You never know for sure what these criminals know and could therefore reveal what could bring political heavy weights in trouble.
@@robertocazzaniga5548 I mean, kinda. It was mostly the bike and secret keeper thing.
For the polyjuice potion voice, it's easy, from a film perspective didn't do that because they wanted the audience to remember it's a disguise. As for Barty as Mad-Eye, he clearly disguised his voice willingly to maintain his cover. It doesn't need overthinking.
The vice change is just a plot device, it was used to prevent viewers from getting confused. With Barty as Mad-Eye, the story needed him to be secret, and you could also see it as the story being from Harry’s perspective and since he didn’t know Bsrty was Moody, we wouldn’t be able to tell either.
I think they could have kept barty's voice because we haven't heard his or mad-eye's voice before
@@Verezen exactly
In the movie, they try to address this by showing Barty as Mad-Eye doing an impression of Hagrid at the end. I think they wanted to show that Barty was good at voices.
@@v.kinga25Dumbledore for one knows Moody's real voice though.
I'd guess that Charlie's original wand was already a hand-me-down, so as soon as Charlie got a job and could afford it, he finally bought his own wand, giving the hand-me-down back to the family. Then Charlie's old wand was the one in the family pile that worked best for him.
fun note: if you play the Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery game, you are in the same year as Charlie. He mentions that he loves his wand and that he hopes nothing bad ever happens to it. It's a pop up during a DADA class.
@@catterin7815 Lol, then it is a plot hole. He has no good reason to give it up
@@mariacastillo4121look at the condition of it when Ron shows it to Harry. Parts of the core were poking out. Charlie graduated in 1991 so he'd used the heck out of his wand in 7-8 years before buying a new one.
I can't remember where I heard this fan theory, but when you are sorted into a house, it's not based on your personality it's based on what you value most, e.g Neville wasn't brave but he strived to face his fears and meet his peers expectations.
Neville was always brave. He also had lots of fears, but he overcame them when it was important. Bravery doesn't mean you don't fear. It means you can overcome fears when necessary. Remember: Neville's bravery in standing up to his friends is why Dumbledore gave Gryffindor the points at the end of the first year to win the house cup.
Plus Dumbledore says (something like) I often think we sort too young
Rowling acknowledged the flawed system within the books.
@@jacoxnet2 ok but that does not explain how some people (Carabbe, Goyle, Draco etc) ended up in slytheryn despite not being particularly cunning/ambitious
@@fsplays9157 Bloodline or personal choice. Keep in mind, the sorting hat was going to put Harry into Slytherin, but didn't because Harry didn't want to. And Ron 'knew' he was going to be a Gryffindor because his family had all been Gryffindors.
One plot hole that’s always interested me is how Aunt Petunia didn’t know Harry wasn’t allowed to use magic outside of school the summer between his first and second year. Lilly was a witch, so shouldn’t she know that she wasn’t allowed to use magic? I guess you could say she was so jealous of Lilly that she didn’t pay enough attention to her to notice, but it always had my mind wondering.
Or maybe lily and petunia stopped talking altogether since petunia bullied lily and lily never told her shit about her life. I never read books so if I am wrong then I am sorry
I always wondered that too. And the part where they brought Harry to Kings Cross for the first time and they were laughing about leaving him because they didn’t think platform 9 and 3/4 existed… but in the prince’s tale they say Petunia is on platform 9 and 3/4 with Lily and their parents. So she should have known that the platform does exist.
@@catecliff Oh yeah, I forgot that she was on platform 9 and 3/4. That's another good question
@@Digdigi I think they still talked, but they didn’t have a strong bond because Petunia was jealous. It’s been a minute since I’ve read the books, but I’m pretty sure Lily mentioned something about Petunia sending her a vase for Christmas in the note she wrote to Sirius that Harry reads in the Deathly Hallows.
Or she just forgot. As humans we forget a lot of stuff. And she was young at that time so a lot of years have passed since when her sister was at Hogwarts.
Why is ‘impirio’ an UNFORGIVABLE CURSE so regulated but love potions that have similar effects to it?
I agree 100% it’s very close to the Imperius curse your pretty much forcing that person to stay with you even if they don’t find you attractive . Some cruel person may use it to destroy someone else’s relationship because of jealousy you can really screw someone’s life up with it.
perhaps the strenght of a love potion isn't as much as that of a Imperius curse. With Imperio you can literally control someone to do anything you want. as for a love potion it's just messing up with your emotions etc. Strongly suggesting you have feelings for someone.
@@Black3ightYeah, but Merope ****ed Tom Riddle by making him think he loved her. That's absolutely disgusting. It should also be more heavily regulated.
@@hicat808 oh yeah for sure. Love potions are messed up and should be regulated at the very least. But the point was that Imperio is significantly stronger/worse
The thing with unforgivable curses is that they are unblockable. There is no defense to someone casting it on you. There would be plenty of other spells that can hurt or even kill you, but those are unforgivable because they are unblockable (though the ministry would still punish you for using other killing/torture curses).
And yes, although some wizards (like Harry) can throw off the imperious curse, no one can actually stop the curse being put on you.
Voldemort tried to abolish the sorting system, so that was one thing he may have had the right idea about.
Yeah why would you need more than one house when all your students are pure blooded?
@@AteistYigit How can I be racist if I want a world with only my race in it that offers no opportunities for anyone to be racist to anyone?
@@omegarealmsbans1914The thing is, history tells us what would happen. Look at China's history, where warring tribes (of the same race) fought each other again and again. Or early Europe, or Ireland, Scotland, Africa, Native Americans, etc etc.
@@Xeno_Solarus I'm just messing with the OP. Eliminating all races except your own in the name of getting rid of racism is a horrible argument to make.
@@omegarealmsbans1914 cant argue with that lol
1) For James & Lilly being the secret keeper. If they were their own secret keepers who would have got information to them from the order? Is this why they trusted their friends!
2) The trace doesn’t show in OFTP because the trace isn’t on Tonks so wouldn’t flag up to the ministry?
Love your videos !
But the trace is on Harry, so it should have been flagged if anyone performed magic around him. That is one of the reasons they use "polyjuice" in Seven Potters, so that they wouldnt have to cast any spell
The trace wasn’t on Dobby either, yet the ministry flagged magic being used in the Dursley’s residence.
@@Harmthuria a solution to this plothole is simple: The ministry can tell different wizards magic apart, but a magical being like a house elf isn't trackable and when they use magic in a house with no registered house elf and only a school level wizard or witch it triggers an alert that only says "Unauthorized magical use"
The cursed child is gonna take up 31 of all plot holes
Yup. Someday I’m gonna buy the cursed child and burn it in a bonfire
Fr lol
more like 100
Thankfully, it isn't canon.
@@i.marchand4655 it is tho? I mean officially. I don’t consider it canon.
I think Ron and Hermione definitely used Broomsticks to get out of the Chamber of Secrets because when they met up with Harry again Ron carried one with his arm.
As there were still a lot of rocks everywhere, Hermione probably told Ron to stand on a rock with her and then casted Wimgardium Leviosa.
@@danielpotapczuk2155but can wimgardium Leviosa spell work on anything including rocks or people
@@TULIXIAA12 Levicorpus is used to transport people and Wimgardium Leviosa to transport objects.
Exactly ron had a broom
Thank you! I was about to write exactly this! It says that they had a bunch of basilisk fangs, and Ron had a broomstick under his arm
I'm not sure if this qualifies as a plot hole, but it's ridiculous that Victor Krum catches the snitch when down 160 to lose the game for his team. He could have defended the snitch from being caught by the Irish seeker or played on offense to help his team get into striking range before catching it.
It would be like when a team goes empty net at the end of a hockey game. You wouldn't just give up when there's still a chance to win.
A simple explanation is that he saw his team being crushed, realized that there was no way they would ever make up the difference in points, and decided to end the game at this point where they would only be 10 points behind rather than let it become worse.
If there is some kind of overall score kept in which how badly you lost games is relevant, only losing by 10 points rather than 200 points would be strategically sound.
@@rekmaramd9307 this was the world championship, there's no way he would make the call to forfeit for his teammates
@@CZsWorldI understand why you don’t like it, and I don’t like it either, but this was the explanation given in the books. Apparently, his team was only good enough to make it to the finals because he was the greatest seeker in the world. During the finals however, he didn’t manage to catch the snitch fast enough.
@@CZsWorldhave you watched real world team games? I watch a lot of football (soccer) and there are endless examples of strikers selfishly wasting a good scoring chance by trying to score themselves rather than passing to a better placed teammate. This does often cost the team a win.
@@rekmaramd9307 I always hated this because why not wait 1 more minute your only down one goal of your catch the snitch if he justes waited and they scored a goal he grabs it and it’s a tie
I love these kind of videos! They're super interesting and it's always nice to listen to you, an expert on Harry Potter, talk about the story, the plot holes, the characters and whatever that's from the wizarding world.
The thing with Rons hand-me-down wand also was the case with Neville, Neville had his fathers wand for years.
But in Neville's case, his father wouldn't have use for the wand. In Ron's case, Charlie would still need his wand. I did see a theory somewhere that because Charlie worked with dragons, he might have had a new wand made using a particular Dragon heartstring that was even more suited to him, and could therefore give his old wand to Ron. But I think this is still a stretch. Charlie giving Ron his wand still doesn't seem to make much sense.
That actually kind of makes sense. Neville’s grandmother would have insisted on him using it, because she was determined that he should live up to his father’s reputation. That seems pretty much in character for her, and obviously Mr. Longbottom wasn’t gonna be using it. Whereas by Charlie Weasley it doesn’t make sense that he would just give away his own
My initial reaction to this was that while Ron got the wand from Charlie, it was likely a loaner wand in Charlies possession to begin with. Charlie may have actually gotten his first personal wand at that time and hence the loaner could be reloaned again down to Ron. For an 11-year old Ron, having his older brother using it for 7 years, he would probably understand it to be his brothers and not really understand the difference.
Are wands that expensive?? 😂
@@YariAzQuran They're actually cheap considering they're basically the only tool a wizard needs for his entire life, but they are a lot more expensive than what the Weasleys have in their vault.
With Ron and Hermione entering and exiting the Chamber of Secrets, at least in my edition of Deathly Hallows, Ron is described as having a broomstick under his arm, so there you go, not a plothole, they used the broomstick to at least exit the Chamber.
Do you mean you did a fanfic re-write of that book, or that it's just stated in your edition of the DH book that you own?
@@dannylagangonzalez6832 The copy of the book I have mentions this, but it seems to be in other people's editions, based on the comments here.
@@dannylagangonzalez6832 I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he's not talking about his own fanfiction lmao.
I recall that too. I just commented about it.
Can confirm. Ron has a broomstick.
the reason the order members could use magic is because they were all over 18
nailed it
For plot hole 3 - In the books, they did multiply their food, and Hermione also pointed out that while she could multiply it, it wasn't creating any more nutrition in the food so it was only to satiate their hunger, but the nutrients were still being split in thirds.
For the plot hole of Ron and Hermione getting out of the Chamber of Secrets - they used the flying broom that was in the room with the keys.
As far as the sorting, the houses are much more nuanced than those brief descriptions. Slytherin is not evil, it is for those who will put their ambitions above all else and nurtures that, which, to be fair, does tend to turn out evil tendencies.
Thank you for this fun video!
It's pretty clear that several of these plotholes came from people who haven't read the books for a long time, if ever
Was it stated in the book that Ron and Hermione got out of the Chamber of Secrets on a broom attained from the room of keys? Those are completely different areas of the castle. I dont remember what was actually said in the book, but that doesnt make sense to me. Ron got a broom from somewhere, but from the room of keys isnt adding up.
Also, with the 7 Harries plot, it was imperative for lord Voldemort to put his trust on Snape 100%. And he achieved this by giving lord Voldemort the right date the order was moving Harry.
And telling them exactly what the plan was.
Because of course, killing Dumbledore wasn't enough. Why on earth would Snape be expected to know what the Order was doing after that? "Funnily enough, I'm not welcome at Order meetings anymore, just because I killed their leader."
It wasn't about trust as I understand it, but about him being proven as a reliable and competent spy. So that he stays in Voldemort's good books.
Remember, Snape had still lot of work to do for the good.
- Keep his mind intact against Voldemort's legilimency.
- Serve as a headmaster so that he can protect students.
- Give Harry the Sword of Griffindor.
- Tell him at last that he is a Horcrux, and must die.
for the Dennis Creevey one, I think it's just because Umbridge is stupid and only paid attention to the older students, the ones she thought might be a threat to the ministry.
My favorite UA-cam channel! Thanks for educating us even more on the Wizarding world!
nice hearing your thoughts on these plot holes, hope you'll find some more for a second vid on them :)
About wands for Death Eaters - I think that other Death Eaters could easily stole some wands for them or kill enough people. Then Bellatrix and the others could easily kill more people, so the wands of those new victims accepted Death Eaters as their masters. Plus later on, they kidnapped Ollivander - and as he said, he made new wands at least for some of them.
Plus I believe that they would have spare wands stored in a mutual location in case that type of thing ever happened.
But doesn't Ollivander identify Bellatrix's wand in Book 7 because he sold it to her? Am I confusing film with book?
do the books even say that people’s wands are snapped when they go to Azkaban? They snap the wands of people expelled from Hogwarts bc they are never allowed to have a wand again. but not everyone who goes to Azkaban is there for life so they may save their wands
Possibly they just knew that they could go to Azkaban, so they might have prepared for the case and just bought some spare wands that they hid somewhere.
Doesnt make sense. I remember Hermione saying about Bella's wand, its too much part of her. Its wand that tortured Neville's parents, its the wand that killed Sirius.
Considering Ron did not know that Sirius 'betrayed' the Potters or that the Longbottoms lost their minds too torture, we can assume that Molly and Arthur sheltered their children from the horrors of the war. They never heard about any of that no more than about 'Peter the tragic hero'. So if the twins ever saw him on the map, it was just some random name amongst many others to them.
I think that you have to know that someone is an animagi to see them on the map
But what would they think if this guy called Peter petigrew slept with Ron every day for 3 years
@@BobobearBee-kw8buone thing I’m wondering is how does it work with animals? They mention Mrs. Norris, but not any other animal. I always chalked it up to they only added Mrs. Norris because of her connection with Filtch.
But still, he was sleeping with ron so it would have looked suspicious lol
@@tanmayjain3543 I feel like the map only detects Mrs. Norris because she’s a special case. Other than that I don’t remember any other animaigus showing up on the map. Otherwise I think Rita Skeeter would show up being at least 1 of 5 known unregistered animaigus
1:08 All part of Dumbledore's Big Plan unfortunately. He has been manipulating the timeline since the 40s. The Potters had to die for plot convivence and because of the prophecy. Of course, nobody knew which boy was to be marked, and the gamble sort of paid off.
1:57 Underage Wizards can't use magic outside of school due to the trace until they are 18. It's different for an adult
17, they come of age at 17
it registers ANY magic around the kid, thats why it pinged off dobby
It’s funny, the thing with truth serum is that they make a point of saying that truth serum would make even Voldemort tell the truth.
If they hadn’t added that, it could have been like a lie detector test in real life, with how some people can beat it.
I don't remember if it was in the books, but I think veritaserum only works, when the person doesn't know they ingested it
@@szymson1992 No, but Fudge makes a point of saying that if you believe hard enough, a lie can be a truth to you. He says this near the butt end of book four if you want to look it up.
Also, pretty sure book 5 says using it is illegal??? And again, people tend to forget how long these problem solving potions take to make.
But can it make a 400 foot tall purple platypus bear with pink horns and silver wings tell the truth?
@@CaptainvonDoreI suppose it might...
@@CaptainvonDore It would actually cause a paradox, "What happen when someone who always lies take a potion that only make you say the truth?" xD
29 of these will be from the Fantastic Beasts series, I’m sure.
Wrong
wanna edit???
Another fantastic beast hater who does not know why they hate it but just because everyone else hates it they also hate it.
Literally the exact opposite 💀 29 from the Harry Potter series and 1 from fantastic beasts
It's actually the opposite, only 1 plot hole is from Fantastic Beasts
i never comment on videos but i just wanted to say that i love your new setup! it looks super high quality on video and it really catches my attention before you get into things.
3:20 I agree. It would sort of be something like having generation loss when copying a picture and printing a copy of each copy. After so many times, the copies start to lose their detail to the point where the original picture is unrecognizable.
5:50 The problem with that is that Snape claimed to have seen Lupin running towards the willow after the Golden Trio on the map, which was accidentally left open on his desk, while entering to deliver the Wolfsbane potion.
27:00 I honestly believe that it is both a writing convenience as well as the versatility of how portkeys are created. The ones that had timers on them were made specifically for wizards to travel to the Quiddich World Cup at a specific time, sort of like a one-way flight that tries to stay punctual. Also, the Tri-Wizard Cup was specifically made to be a trap for Harry and was likely made by fake Moody to stay open as long as possible until Harry got there. As for it being two-way: it is very possible that Voldemort's intended plan was to kill Harry after being resurrected and then use the cup to apper in front of the whole crowd with all his followers around him and Harry's dead body at his feet in a sort of grand return that would cause mass panic.
Snape saw the map opened by Lupin. I think its similar to having ur user log in. Lupin forgot to sign out, so Snape could see the map from Lupin's perspective
@@udraj914 that makes a lot of sense
For "Why could order members use magic at dursely's?", isn't it because they were adults and didn't have the trace on them while Harry was a minor and Dobby was a house elf.
That's a good explanation. Other possibilities are that there weren't any Muggles around at the time, so the Ministry thought it didn't matter, or there was interference due to there being like 10 wizards in one small house.
Kingsley was in the ministry, so he couldve pulled some strings
@@WilliamMoffatt-gp3eenope, they were doing it especially "not" to alert the ministry
Yes
In HBP, when Harry found out how Tom killed his father, he asked Dumbledore why the Trace didn't get him caught. Dumbledore's answer was that the Trace is only on the houses of underage witches and wizards who don't have magical parents. It's not on people, but places. They can't tell who cast the spell. The Ministry wants everyone to believe in the "Trace" that is on every underage witch and wizard, but that's simply a lie. I'll never understand how Harry forgot that in DH. (P.S. That means it's a prejudiced law against muggle-borns, since they're generally the only ones who can be caught.)
17:33 i recall the books saying that they had one broomstick with them when they met up with Harry after he was in Ravenclaw’s common room.
For the battle of seven potters one i think the reason is when mundungus said "I've toldjer, I'd sooner be a protector"
Moody replied "shut it" "As I've already told you, you spineless worm, any Death Eater we run into will be aiming to capture Potter, not kill him. Dumbledore always said You-know-Who would want to finish Potter in person. It'll be the protectors who have got to worry about, the Death Eaters'll want to kill them"
So besecly Harry staying as himself would give him a better chance of staying alive, but for the part of them taking the muggle transportation that is kind of a smart idea but obviously you cant take the muggle transportation to Andromeda's house or the burrow, so they would either walk to it which is risky, take brooms which is the same plan as before or they would apparat to the safe house which will probably tell the ministry (which was run by Death Eaters and Harry was the most wanted person at the time) where Harry is. So the original plan is much better
For the poly juice potion voice theory
When they made the second film the forth book wasn't obviously released yet so when they made Ron and Harry's voice the same when they were disguised as Crabbe and Goyle they weren't planning for the whole Moody thing in the forth movie
When the time came to make the forth movie they probably relised that if they made Moody have the voice of barty crouch Jr it would probably be too obvious. I think for the deathly hallows tho it didnt matter that they have Mafalda, Runcorn and cattermole's voices
But it would have probably been easier if they just sticked to the books
Sirius wasn't captured. Harry only thought he'd been captured.
17:39 they do get broomsticks from the room of requirement in the book
Exactly, in the book it’s written that Ron had a broomstick under his arm.. so this is not a plothole at all
Exactly. A lot of plotholes are explained in the book or with basic critical thinking skills. JK Rowling is very good at not treating the reader like they're stupid and leaves a lot of basic sense things up in the air.
This video is stupid.
couldn't they just apparate
for the felix felicis one, i could swear that there's some piece of info out there that if too many people drink it in a close proximity, the luck would either negate itself or cause a really bad case of bad luck. i wanna say it's somewhere in quidditch through the ages because they go over a rule about why players are forbidden to drink liquid luck, but i'm not entirely sure
for the peter pettigrew one, i wouldn't be surprised of peter spent most of his time away from ron, especially at night. rats are naturally nocturnal and while peter is human, i think some rat traits started to sneak into him. so peter could've been far away from ron at night instead of "sleeping in his bed" (i don't think anywhere in the books said ron sleeps with his rat anyway). prisoner of azkaban movie kinda helps with this theory since peter was seen on the map at night, even tho this scene wasn't in the books. but we always see peter active at night anyway; i don't think he has many scenes where he's seen in the daytime.
That one is simply. Why would Fred and George give a f*** about watching their brother sleep?
It is mentioned once I guess in 2nd or 3rd book that Harry Shoves Scabbers from his pillow 😂 when he was going to bed. Idk maybe Peter thought to take a nap on the nearest empty bed for a change 😂
Dude I've been following you for years now, but I just wanted to say that I've loved to see you become more confident and yourself in your video's! :)
Interesting video. I am a HUGE (capital letters on huge) harry potter fan and movieflame fan. I agree to all ur points and I am happy to sag that I was able to debunk all of these potholes like you. Continue making fun videos
To be fair, I don't count the Fantastic Beasts films as cannon. So in my ignorant bliss, those films don't exist
They are though sorry to take away your copium😂

The reason Tonks was able to do that magic at the Dursley's is probably one of 2 reasons, either, the ministry detected the fact that there weren't any muggles around at the time, so it didn't matter, because the times harry did, there were muggles around, or, it got interfered as if it was a magical location because there were lots of wizards there so it couldn't tell who did it.
Also are you a seer Morgan, because I was legit going to upload a video myself today where I debunk some Harry Potter plot holes.
Reason 3)The trace makes no sense
@@avijatsinharoy8944 Yeah it really doesn't tbh, I'm writing a fanfiction atm where I have Ginny and the other kids using magic outside of school all the time because in Magical locations, they can't tell who does it.
I even have Ginny specifically say that she uses it to hide some of the twins joke products from Molly under her bedroom floor.
@@dannylagangonzalez6832 dude really made an entire story from a plot hole,bravo
@@avijatsinharoy8944 well no, that's not where my entire story comes from, my main idea was to give Ginny a much bigger role in the series, so in mine she's close friends with Harry from the day they meet and they start dating much earlier, but i decided to take advantage of this plot hole once I realised it could be useful to my narrative. It's going to be particularly useful when I get to my OOTP re-write, as it means I can change one of my most hated scenes from that book.
Harry still would have gotten in trouble for using Magic outside of school since he was underage, but it's likely Dumbledore or someone in the order alerted the ministry that they were picking up Harry, That could explain why Harry didn't get in trouble for Tonks’ magic in OOTP, but there is still a plothole with it, because Mr. Weasley uses magic at the Dursley’s when picking up Harry in GOF, and Harry never gets blamed for that.
"Leading to his capture and eventual death..."
Sirius using his animagus form didn't have anything to do with his death. He was never actually captured either. He voluntarily went to the Ministry with the rest of the Order to save Harry. His form isn't even mentioned during that battle. It was him not taking Bellatrix seriously that caused his death.
It's never even confirmed that the Malfoy's know about or saw Sirius's form. The 'dogging' remark from Draco is the only hint. And Draco's never exactly been subtle with his digs at the group.
OHHH BOY HERE WE GO!!!!!
About the food duplication. Yes if you got one sandwich, you could duplicate it for everybody to feed on. But that doesnt mean that the food wont go bad. So yeah one sandwich might feed those 3 for a couple of days at most. So why didnt they duplicate canned food? Carrying a single can of food with you surely isnt too much to carry and its not like it would expire anytime soon. The problem with that i believe is that the food would have to be taken out of the container, putting them in a similar situation than before.
Okay about the Veritaserum. When using such an absolute potion in an official court case, it puts the accused above all doubt, meaning whatever they say will be seen as the truth and complete truth, their word would be without contestation. However a memory altering spell would have made even Lord Voldemort under the influence act like a Hogwarts Student. Meaning that the power of the truth serum would quickly become the ministrys demise. Even if they got the Dark Lord in their court room, if he tells them under the influence, that he was studying for his owls the entire year instead of attacking Hogwarts. They couldn't say anything against him.
Polyjuice not changing voices. Yes Polyjuice changes the voice of the user as well. Im almost certain that the rule was changed for Moody, because he was a Villain in disguise, his reveal was supposed to be a surprise. Also Harry, Ron and Hermionie not changing voices during the movies, most likely was done for viewer understanding, Chamber of Secrets was aimed at a very young audience and at that time all shows which featured body swap or transformation even for just one episode also wouldn't change the characters voice, to keep things simple and easy to understand what is going on.
How did Ron and Hermionie leave the chamber of secrets, i am 100% certain that in the books the entrance was described to have a ladder going down into the chamber, which Harry and Ron climbed down after shoving Lockheart in.
Voldemort not using the unbreakable vow. His arrogance might have been another huge factor and it potentially deterring some people to become his followers. Voldemort took basically anyone into his ranks as long as they were pureblood, but he only had a hand full of people in his ranks he truly trusted. Usually after they showed him a great deal of loyalty. Snape offing Dumbledore for example. But the main reason he didnt use the unbreakable vow in my opinion, is that he had nothing to fear or any secrets to be exposed by those around him, because he didnt share his long term plans or his weakness with anyone, not even those he trusted. So what if someone tells the Ministry what he is up to. The Minister of Magic figuratively pissed himself just by people mentioning that Voldemort is back.
Azkaban Escapees getting their wands back. I will be honest, i am not sure they actually got their wands back. They might have just rolled up to Ollivanders and buy a new wand. Possibly that was one of the reasons why he was abducted even. Its more of a head canon than an actual explanation
I really love the it's always monday plothole xD never thought of it before
Actually I think the book DID say they used broomsticks to get out of the Chamber of Secrets in The Deathly Hallows
@13:50 Slughorn didn't make a small amount. He made a cauldron full! He just gave the small amount as prize.
It's still very complicated to make, plus I doubt one cauldron would even have been enough for all the people fighting. I imagine that the death eaters running the school would also do frequent checks for such things in every professors office, using revealing charms etc, to see if they were trying to hide it. The only way it could have been done is via dumbledore's army, but unless they got it via owl order, none of them were likely skilled enough at potions to make it.
Possibly Slughorn could have done it in Myrtle's bathroom, but even then, Snape could have told them to check for that, as I imagine he'd have been told about the trio making polyjuice potion there.
That doesn't matter. It still takes 6 months to make. They wouldn't have had any time to make the amount of Felix Felicis they needed.
15:01
The Sword of Gryffindor wasn't a Horcrux. The locket that Ron, Hermione, and Harry pilfered from Umbridge was the horcrux
Exactly. I think it is only once mentioned Voldemort may have intendet to use it but never got his hands on it.
I think the plot hole is that *Harry* was a Horcrux, so the sword, capable of destroying a Horcrux, should have affected him when he touched it.
Snape hated Sirius too much to help him with the polyjuice potion.
Bold of you to assume that Fred and George would spend their time watching Ron in his dormitory-where Peter Pettigrew spent nearly all his time as a rat
Harry never sees Pettigrew on the map in the book.
I feel that's grasping at straws. They never saw him once in what, 17 years?
@@TomCruz54321Wtf dym by 17 years 😂
They got it when they were at school and then gave to Harry before their school ended.
Exactly. Fred and George would have been using the map to scout out where people were outside their dormitory, probably at night most of the time. With all the other people piled into the dorm at night, a name that didn't have any special meaning to them would have likely gone unnoticed.
Also, there would have been less than 2.5 year overlap in the twins having the map and Pettigrew being at the school, before they gave it to Harry, about half way through his third year.
@@JMcMillen Scabbers was with Percy before Ron, so the overlap is longer.
3:58 he also watched Quirrell die in the first book?
Edit: I forgot that in the book he passed out before Quirrell actually died!
Quirrel actually died in the hospital wing. Harry wouldn't have seen him die anyway.
@@heatherL4834 No, Quirrell died in the room where Harry confronted him as he literally( in the books & films) burned to ash from touching Harry’s skin and Voldemort exiting his body.
@@matthewrosenthal753 The crumbling to ash thing was only in the movies. He was just burned in the books and died from his injuries.
@@heatherL4834 He was still dead right after Voldemort abandoned his body.
@matthewrosenthal753 So, I went back and reread that part, and Dumbledore tells Harry that Voldemort left Quirrel to die. So he very well could've died in the room immediately or some time later.
They did multiply their food. the book said that multiplied food however would go down in quality and nutrition as it was multiplied so they would only multiply it once.
I think for how Ron and Hermione got back out of the Chamber of Secrets is that they could’ve used the spell Ascendio. Harry used the spell in the Goblet of Fire when he was in the lake which propelled him upwards and out of the lake. I suppose that this spell also works outside of water which perfectly explains how they could’ve gotten out. Although, it also makes sense if they used brooms.
In the book when they got back to Harry with the fangs, Ron was also carrying a broomstick.
@@JMcMillen Oh good point. It’s been almost a year since I’ve read the Deathly Hallows so I might’ve not remembered that.
17:26 they used a broom. It was shown in the book
I heard a theory on the port key one by Supercarlinbrothers: Voldemort specifically made the port key to go both ways because he planned to use polyjuice potion to turn into Harry, and sneak into Hogwarts using the cup so he could kill Dumbledore and take over the school.
You actually think they know what they're talking about?
@@LunatheLightFury It's just a theory lol. They know a lot about Harry Potter. Idk what I think about the whole "polyjuice into Harry thing" But the idea of Voldemort making a device that could instantly get him right into Hogwarts isn't that crazy to me.
@@Primisshorts01 I'm referring less to the theory itself, and more to the fact that the SuperCarlinBrothers seem like idiots to me. This is mainly because they are so insistent on theories that the existing canon debunks and they can't seem to accept that J.K. just made a mistake. (Am I specifically referring to Filch being a Poltergeist and Hagrid being in Slytherin? Absolutely.) Then their "What Ifs" use a lot of stuff that would not work in the existing canon, such as Cedric still being a student at Hogwarts during Order of the Phoenix when he was a seventh year in Goblet of Fire, Snape surviving an entire year with a silver hand like Wormtail's that would strangle him the second he turned on Voldemort, Harry being the thing Fleur misses most in the Tri-Wizard Tournament, the Sword of Gryffindor turning into the "Sword of Slytherin" when Voldemort turned it into a horcrux, and so many more problems. Anyway, this is mostly just my opinion on the SuperCarlinBrothers, and probably shouldn't be taken as fact, I just thought I should probably clarify my statement.
@@LunatheLightFuryCedric was a sixth-year during GoF. Maybe it’s you who’s an “idiot”
@@LunatheLightFuryyes they do. Them, Seamus Gorman and Harry Potter Folklore are the biggest HP nerds. They definitely know what they are talking about, and anyway its "just a theory" 🤷 u can either take it or leave it
The Weasels couldn’t afford to buy Ron a new wand. They had to buy second hand everything for Ron.
In regards to Minerva McGonagall the possible answer to how Minerva was present in the 1910's despite being born in the 1930's is that it was her Great Grandmother who happens to also be named Minerva though her name is Ross not McGonagall, unless she for some reason took on the last name of her granddaughter's husband's last name. Wizards also live a long time so her Grand Mother could very much have still been alive by the time McGonagall was born.
In the first book Harry says to Ron that he just saw "a bunch of green light" and said that he doesnt remember much else
Marauders Map Plot Hole:
Snape was able to spot Remus Lupin on the Map when he entered Lupins office to give him the potion. He was not part of the Marauders. How was he able to see Lupin ?
Maybe the Marauders Map only shows the Marauders if the Marauders are activating the map but still everybody can see them.
Charlies Wand Plot Hole:
After school Charlie got to work with dragons. His wand core was made out of unicorn hair. Maybe the interest into dragons also changed his compatibility with another wand core. Maybe a wand with dragon heart string was more suitable for him for his new job ?
Wands with Unicorn Core also can die / lose power after time. They don't last forever. Maybe Charlies wand just got worse and worse overtime and he thought it was time for a new wand and because the Weasleys were poor they thought it would be a good idea to give Ron Charlies old wand ?
Ron basically got the worst deal ever: a wand that belonged to another wizard (unicorn hair usually remains loyal to the original owner) and a wand with a core that might have lost all the power at that time. No wonder why Ron's magic in the first years was mediocre.
Personally I think that Lupin de-activated the "only marauders can see maruaders" charm when he took the map from harry, either in case he gave it back in the future, or because he didn't think anyone else would ever see it from then on.
My explanation for the plot hole regarding Charlie's wand is that the wand Charlie got belonged to another member of the Weasley family who died long ago. Similar to Neville who used his father's wand until he got a new wand in book six. So the wand was also strange to Charlie and not a wand that choosed Charlie at Ollivander's. Ron just called it Charlie's wand, because he got the wand from Charlie when Charlie got his new wand after he graduated from school which just happend before Ron attented Hogwarts for the first time.
For the first one, I actually think that in order to see the Marauders, you have to know that they are animagus, hence why Snape could see them, he probably knew that they were animagi, because in the fourth book when Fudge reveals that he ordered the Dementer's Kiss to Crouch, and then he left, Sirius transformed into his human form, and Minerva flinched, but Snape didn't, which showed that he knew that Sirius was an animagus, so he probably knew that all the Marauders were animagi
@@BobobearBee-kw8bu Have to disagree.
Harry Saw Barty Crouch Jr on the map even though He used polyjuice Option to become Mad Eye Moody. The Marauders map can See through Disguises, Polyjuice Potion and Invisibility Cloaks. Animagus should not make any difference.
Its Just another Form of Disguise.
@@markkonigsmann1079 this makes sense. thank you!
In Prisoner of Azkaban doesn’t Snape say he saw Lupin on the map, wouldn’t that mean people other than the marauders see the marauders on the map
31:49 I see what you did there Morgan, I see what you did there 🤣🤣
I do find it a bit funny that Dumbledore basically cloned himself by talking to a painting.
You ever talk to yourself so much that the walls around you can hold conversation with your intelligence and thought process?
"Voldemort going all this trouble to avoid death? Lmao I've got an easier way to live forever"
These sorts of videos are my favorite, and whilst I haven’t watched the video yet, I know it won’t disappoint. Thank you Morgan for the continued amazing content ❤
Regarding the Marauder's Map: Not only was Scabbers with Ron, but with Percy before that. That means that, even if they weren't in the habit of checking out Ron's dorm, they certainly would've checked out Percy's when the first got the Map.
Why though? Percy only became prefect in his 5th year. The same year Ron got Scabbers.
While Percy surely was uptight even before then, he could not deduct points until he was prefect, and I don't think even he would tattle on his brothers if it wasn't his job.
1. Secret Keepers: Remember that they have to be fully hidden, and no one else can enter or even see it till the secret keeper tells them. So by guess is the spell work in a particular way that someone has to be outside to see the place.
3. Multiplying food: Book mentions this, you can’t just make stuff. Physics!
6. Polyjuice potion: Takes a while to make, a long while,
7. Veriteseruim: Really? It’s illegal. So illegal to use that Umbrige uses it in secret. If you could use it on anyone, then anyone can use it on the people in the Ministry. Nothing is scarier then that power being used back against you. It’s also hinted in book four that if you believe it enough you can lie to others cause you believe it is true.
8: Potters… Really, muggle transport is slow…
10: Liquid Luck: Slughorn says to take it too much can be poison, to much of a good thing. Same reason to make it using it. Remember, it simply increases your odds, it doesn’t make them perfect. If everyone used it in the battle, it would very likely cancel out.
Here is a real plot hole. WHY COULDN’T HARRY SIMPLY FORFEIT THE TOURNEMENT? Fleur outright dropped out of the second one, and no one was looking for Harry even with him missing.
Ben loving the HP videos! All of them! I have got so much into HP more because of this channel! Keep up the good work!
man his videos explain everything he's so good
Thanks for another great video! Enjoyable as always!
For the Pettigrew map issue, it's definately a plausable theory you had. I myself had always thought that since the dormitories are places where lots of people are in cooped up in one small area, so the map would have had so many dots in one pace you can't see properly, but your explaination was even better
But for Sirius being captured in OoP ... where did you get that from? He is never caught in the book; he goes straight from hiding to the fight in the department of mysteries where he dies. The part with Sirius being taken by Voldemort was only a false vision Voldemort put into Harry's head
As for Bellatrix's wand - When the Death Eaters kidnapped Ollivander, they would have been really foolish not to take the wands with them. Aside from the questioning about the Elder Wand, the other point with kidnapping him was to prevent the good guys from getting wands, so I believe they took all the wands to make sure all the Death Eaters got good wands and the others had to order wands from less skilled wandmakers
And the education - even though there is no collage, the ministry does have post-graduation education for the more advanced jobs. The auror education, for example, is three years of studying after Hogwarts
Harry's eyes were closed when Cedric died, so technically he didn't see that death.
29:35 To explain this plot hole, there is a Anti Alohamora spell that was invented by Blagdon Blay. This was first introduced in Harry Potter: Wonderbook of Spells, and it would make sense that the Hogwarts staff used them. Now for the Philosopher’s Stone door… 😬
Dumbledore's Big plan explains the door thing. He always intended for the trio to go after the Stone, so that they could be prepared for the danger that lay ahead in the future.
Sirius could have used his knife.
Exactly! A lot of fans miss this
Veritserum can probably be resisted or overcome, like it only works on weak-willed or injured people. Also it's probably easier to resist if you're aware you've been dosed with it. At least that's what makes sense to me.
No, (Potter-Head Here) Veritaserum is the most powerful Truth Serum, 3 Drops can make ANYONE spill out all of their secrets (Snape said this in the 4th Book). There are other weaker Truth Serums.
@@mueezstopmotion Could have sworn JK said it could be resisted as an explanation for the Death Eater Trials.
No, the books seem to imply that there are lesser truth potions that can be tricked or overcome, but veritaserum is unbeatable, unless you have the antidote. Therefore, it doesn’t make sense that the ministry doesn’t use it on suspects
Narratively, that seems extremely moronic to have to flawless truth telling serum. Then again this series also has time travel and god mod with Felix Felicis
@@mellow3995i swear that something was said about purebloods being able to deny truth serum
About the paintings, Dumbledore collected memory's very frequently, telling Harry because he forgets. As for the powerful wizard that he is, wouldn't be completely unthinkable for him, as he would know that he was going to die, he never collected them because he otherwise forgets but planned to add those memories some how to his painting.
The portkey thing can be answered by saying that not every portkey is the same. Some are made with timers, some aren't. Some are made to be one-way, some aren't.
16:45 to 18:00 I do agree that maybe they had broomsticks at the entrance of the cave and used those. However, another thing they could have done is swim back up. After destroying the Hoarcrux, the Basilisk room was flooded with water so maybe they used the fact the Chamber was flooded to swim out.
Morgan’s theory is the most likely one honestly. I just wanted to suggest my own thoughts
I believe Hermione does multiplie their food in the Deathly Hallows book, but the issue is the taste and nutritional value becomes lessened the more you multiplie the food with magic, which is why it wasn't going to sustain the three of them for long
Yes, thank you, I was searching for this comment. I thought I remembered Hermione saying that but started to second guess myself and was going to check in the book.
It makes sense though because you are not actually creating new food.
@@hey_mickey1981 I don't remember that from the books, only from fun's theory. Hagrid magically enlarged pumpkins, and Harry somehow never complained about the taste of pumpkin juice.
for the food, my guess is that they didn't have any food to multiply. They left the weasleys in a rush under not ideal situations. Its possible that the only food they had was foraged, and as ron said, "Dont bother multiplying this,'
They got SOME food from time to time. Hermione brought her muggle money, and they got some eggs and stuff at a farm. So they could have just multiplied it.
Also i think they did try to duplicate some fish but the more they duplicated the less tasty and nourishing it was
I keep wondering thought why it is not possible to transform something else into food? They are able to transform metch sticks into needles (metal into wood) for example. Bread and a piece of wood are mostly made of carbonates. So why can't they just transform wood into bread? Even if digestion would sort of reverse the transformation carbonates would still be in it.
@@sawanna508 They are different types of carbohydrates tho or else you would be eating wood
You can’t make something from nothing. If you have 1 loaf of bread and multiply it to make 2, you only get the energy and nutrients of 1. If you make 10 you still only get the nutrients of 1. They would not have felt hungry but still would be malnourished from lack of actual food
It was already established in the first book that spells could be cast on locks to make them immune to the alohamora charm, so of course they used that on the locks that they used to keep Sirius out.
In the fiddles charm thing, remember how worm tail and sirius kept visiting them? They probably chose to do it the way they did so they could keep contact to their friends. What do you think?
They probably also needed someone to bring them food and stuff since they were 100% confined to the house
Fidelius charm*
If lily and James were the keepers, they could have told their friends and then they could enter freely.
@@TylerJ0412 They were not 100% confined, Lily wrote in her letter: "Dumbledore's still got his [James'] Invisibility Cloak, so no chance of little excursions."
@@paulinabartosiewicz417 how were they not 100% confined then?
5:53 That theory is bullshit because if only the Mauraders could see each other on the map then how the fuck did Snape see Lupin on the map? Of all the people they would want not to see them on the map, Snape is probably at the top of that list.
I think the theory was only Marauders can see eachother on the map while in animal form. Lupin was in human form when Snape saw him on it
That, or it was because Lupin was the one who activated the map - being one of its creators. Snape never learned how to do that, he just found the map after Lupin had already activated it and left it like that. The map likely recognized its creators' commands and showed everything as intended, but it had no protection against someone who would come and look at it later, while it was still open.
For the last one, I think its safe to assume the dungeons are large enough for the students to safely get to their room without bumping into the troll.
the reason the ministry couldn't find tonks using magic at the dursleys was because she didn't have the trace coz she was adult in the wizarding world. her trace had been removed when she turned 17 just like the trio could use magic during horcrux hunt in the remotest places and the ministry didn't know about it
Man, I'm so tired of people misusing the term plot hole. A plot hole is a plot element that is not set up or paid off. It is NOT a random inconsistency, lorebreak, unlikely event or some nitpick. It is a *vital* part of the plot that is missing. Hence the name plot hole.
What would be the proper term then? Inconsistencies?
“In fiction, a plot hole, plothole, or plot error, is a *gap* or *inconsistency* in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic established by the story's plot.”
@@professorcube7631 All those I just listed. I would just say nitpicks.
@@theodysseyowl As I explained, a plot hole is a plot element that has not been set up or paid off. A storyline that came out of nowhere or didn't go anywhere. A part of the plot that is missing. NOT an inconsistency in the world building. The plot.
@@Drace90How can you say they are wrong when they provided a definition?
6:38 don’t poly juice potions were off eventually? If so that’s probably why Sirius didn’t use them.
If I remember correctly it only lasts an hour, that's why Barty Jr carried around Moody’s flisk and was always drinking from it, that's also why he kept Moody alive so he could keep making it, and I think it takes at least a month or more to make, while on the run Sirius wouldn't have been able to make it even if he could get ahold of the ingredients.
"Minerva Plothole" actually can be explained. McGonagall Family.
In Goblet of Fire during the duel between Harry and Voldemort the priori incantatem effect happens and we see the previous curses of Voldemort in reverse order. In that scene Harry's father appears befor his mother eventhough he died befor her and should have come out after
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁💯
Regarding multiplying food. Maybe it would make sense to multiply only long term preservables like canned food, as it lasts longer. What's the point for instance of creating 100 steaks, of you can eat only one, while the rest will inevitably rot. I doubt they had a fridge with them
Weren't there such things as preservation charms?
@@dannylagangonzalez6832 can't remember, but possible
About the Felix Felicis plan for the Battle of Hogwarts: It was stated in the Books that it was 1. Extremely difficult to Brew and since Slughorn was in hiding and Snape had to pretend to be a Death eater there weren't any competent Potions masters at Hogwarts; 2. Even the smallest mistake while brewing turns it into a deadly poison, so again without a competent potions master it is to risky to drink; 3. It takes months to brew a single batch and probably requires a lot of attention while brewing, so a single brewer can probably only do one batch at a time and lastly 4. It is really expensive so getting enough of it for all of the people on one side of the battle of Hogwarts would be so expensive no one would be happy to pay for it
As far as the paintings one, I could be wrong but I remember reading something about the more of yourself you put into the painting the more life like it becomes. Basically, the more magic you use to imprint your existence into the painting the more like you it becomes. I do think also the more time you spend with the painting the more it can learn through you. We also see the same level of awareness in the painting of nigellus in the books, he's pretty self aware.
When Hermione and Penelope were attacked by the Basilisk during the Quidditch match, instead of canceling the match and having all the students go back to their Common Rooms, wouldn’t it be logical to keep the match going while the Hogwarts staff snuck off to search for any culprits?
Then again, they would’ve no doubt caught *[SPOILER]* but maybe Dumbledore would’ve vouched for them
17:52 - the room of requirement was already in use. They came back in carrying basilisk fangs.
What more likely happened is Hermione and Ron used the levitating charm to lift themselves up.
If that was the case though, boys could easily access the girls dorms by doing that. The broomstick idea is more likely.
The book has an answer to this. They used a broom.
My head canon for Ron inheriting his brother's wand is that Charley never got a wand of his own when he started and was given a family wand (maybe one of Molly's brothers that died or something)
21:01 Dumbledore could have ordered Fawkes to carry Hagrid to the island, couldn‘t he? Hagrid can‘t be hold up by broomsticks OR thestrals, so Fawkes would be the only possibility in my opinion (phoenixes can lift heavy weights 🏋️)
In the books Hagrid tells Harry that he got Dumbledore's permission to use a bit of magic to get Harry to Hogwarts and he tells him he flew to the island when they're taking the Dursley's boat :) I'm so confused how no one else seems to remember that detail!
9:30 Veritaserum is not used in trials, because more experienced wizards and witches can resist the effect, so using veritaserum is not 100% reliable.
Yeah some wizards and witches can even start to resist the Imperius curse which we all know is one of the unforgivable curses
That's like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. You intentionally not use this magnificent gift, a helpful breakthrough that would make 99.9% of trials better, and in turn improve the quality of life of the entire wizarding community? People would die for this sort of life improvement.
it's probably just the same reason why it isn't used with harry.. It's inconvenient for a corrupt governing body if they can't claim a suspect to be a liar. And then the ministry probably slandered the potions effectiveness and now the public doesn't trust it so even non-corrupt leaders would have difficulty suddenly claiming for it to be foolproof. Heck replacing god knows how many stations within the ministry would be a nightmare had they not allowed for the excuses. keep in mind that magic unemployment numbers are likely way lower than muggle ones. Merely by the fact that there are way fewer of them.
edit: this is my theory though so it probably is hogwash
Then why couldn't Barty Jr resist it?
Yes. Verbal testimony is so much more reliable. Nobody on the stand would ever think about lying.
3:27 I figured that the food would go off eventually, even if it was multiplied
that was my thinking. You would still need fresh food to multiple or some way to preserve it.
Why do I feel like Hermione said that by multiplying food you basically degrade its nutritional value because you’re not actually creating more food? Did I imagine this because no one else has commented this?
@@hey_mickey1981 You can't multiply food. This is some law, and Hermione outright states this in book seven. Ron's mom doesn't make food appear, she prepares it and summons it. Basically if you made a copy the nutrition and filling of your belly should be zero.
Why doesn't Harry ever use his cloak during summer break? Think of all the times it would have come in handy. After he left the house following the Aunt Marge incident, it would have been dumb not to keep it on his person. Or in book 4 his scar started hurting him after he woke up from the dream involving Frank Bryce wouldn't he want to keep it with him, especially since he knows he's going to be among wizards again the next day? Book 5 he hides from the Dursleys to listen to the news without them noticing. Would be a lot easier with a cloak. And it would still be wise to have it with him since he just literally saw Cedric getting killed! Book 6 he's fine. Dumbledore tells him to keep it with him at all times.
He might have lost it. It is tough to keep track of an invisibility cloak when its ya know invisible.
I don't think the Marauders map theory works because Snape sees Lupin on the map going to the Whomping Willow.
You answered the question about why Voldemort didn’t collect the prophecy himself perfectly. I think another possibility is that he’s secretly afraid of many of the things in the Department of Mysteries. He fears death and doesn’t understand love, so it’s possible he doesn’t want to go into a place that contains the secrets of love, death, prophecy, time, thought, etc.
Or he was simply trying to remain hidden, and has no real way of knowing when and if someone might still be there. Better a kid get caught there then Voldemort for his current plans.
Hey Morgan, I really loved your Harry Potter books vs movies differences series, and I was wondering if you would consider doing one for individual character differences as well. For example, Harry’s character in the books vs movies is very different and it would be interesting to see what changes the movies made.
In the book, Hagrid said that he couldn't use magic now that he had Harry, which was why they didn't fly. But then again, if he took the bike or a thestral to the island but not to Diagon Alley, did he just leave it there on the island? I just thought of that question just now.
I've always thought Scabbers found a way to get the Twins to guess the Map's password because it amused him.
