    18:31 That's it ? Is that all you have to say about magic being a genetic trait ? Nothing about what it implies or the impact it has on the story ? I mean, at the very least, it brings some perspective to the whole muggle sympathizers/blood-purist conflict. Suddenly it's not all black and white. The good guys are kind of in the wrong cause it turns out that blood, and bloodlines are important, but the bad guys are kinda right even if for all the wrong reasons. You could have gone into more detail about how in their search for "blood purity" wizard society became inbred, wich we know tends to lead to all sorts of malformations, notably squibs, who tend to settle outside of magical society (just like Ms. Figg Harry's neighbor). Generations down the line, two squib descendents meet, fall in love, and have a magical baby. Wich would also mean that muggleborns are a myth btw

    Dumbledore could "see" what the boys were up to because he was on the Chocolate Frog cards. Just like the portraits of headmasters could move to any other portraits of themselves, Dumbledore could visit any of his Chocolate Frog cards. When he was stripped of all his titles, he even said it's ok as long as they don't take him off the cards. When Harry got his Dumbledore card, Ron explained that you can't expect him to hang around all day!

    @@matthewmeyer4422 Nowhere is it stated that Lily's parents were killed by Voldemort. It is entirely likely that the Evans' would like James better than Vernon, as Vernon had a rather nasty bigoted attitude toward wizards, and they were proud to have a witch in the family, indicating they liked the wizarding world. Also, Rowling has stated that Vernon and James met each other during a double date and that it didn't go well. So, no....the Potters were not dead by the time Vernon came along. Other than that, I'm not really sure your sentence makes sense.

    I love the Snape code theory so much, if you look closely in the film, before Snape starts his code, he pretty much makes fun of harry because knows nothing of the Wizarding world. What's funny is that Snape thought he wasn't paying attention, so ij the film when Snape walks up to Harry, he looks down and sees the notes, evident that Harry WAS infact paying attention, that's when Snape starts the code, and it makes sense, after calling him out, and realizing that he actually wanted to be a charised and hard working wizard to learn his culture, he then says the code, which is essentially I'm sorry, for you and your mother, then he says, let us begin

    I want to point out that trelawney did say some prejudiced things about Firenze, but so did he and the centaurs were incredibly prejudiced towards humans and seers. I think that it was mostly a difference in opinion, because centaurs used the cosmos to predict the future and seers seemed to have more of a psychic inclination, and that difference in opinion caused them to be against eachother since they had to share divination and each thought the others methods were bunk.

    Useless isn’t accurate. People die that’s a true fact of life. Anyone of your friends and family will die all your pets will die. Death isn’t useless and they were not helpless they made their choices knowing full well they could die. But their death was needed so Harry could live. It is the greatest act of love one can commit. That’s why we all loved snape in the end because everything he did was mostly out of love. Even with Draco he killed dumbledore so that Draco can live he knew that the elder wand would transfer to Draco but wanted to make sure Voldemort didn’t know that. Like it blows my mind how much love some of these characters show that’s so misunderstood by everyone else I try to talk to about these subjects.

    I have a theory: Draco actually knew he was the owner of the Elder Wand after he disarmed Dumbledore. The reason he didn’t take it or was open about it, was because he knew that Voldemort would’ve killed him and his family for it. Draco grew up in a magical family that dated back for centuries, and his house was full of magical relics and history, surely he would’ve known about the Deathly Hallows and how the Elder Wand worked.

    What about this theory? In the book Tale of Three Brothers, the veil represents Death and the bridge (referenced in the book) refers to the pathway between Life and Death. The three brothers create the hallows to safely use beyond the veil - the invisibility cloak will let the user to safely pass through the veil and navigate whatever is beyond the veil, the elder wand is the only wand powerful enough to use on the other side of the veil, and the resurrection stone is the only way to safely recall the person who entered the veil, to be brought back to our world. The three brothers were very powerful Wizards who found a way to safely go beyond the veil and also use the Deathly Hallows in our world as well.

    About Harry making just the Dursleys mad by being a horcrux. Could it not be that it built up in them over time from the best part of 10 years of constant exposure. The breaks between school terms could mean that the effects of the horcrux are lessened within his magic friends. Moreover, the times during school in which the Durlseys aren't exposed could also lessen the effects, but takes much longer due to the amount of exposure. This could explain why Dudley shows remorse towards Harry when they leave him (in Order? in a deleted scene?)

    Dramatic effects of the locket Horcrux is better explained with proximity of TWO horcrux in overlapping same area of effects. First Movie Opening Scene: McGonagall: "Albus, do you really think its safe, leaving him with these people? I've been watching them all day. They're the worst sort of Muggles imaginable. They really are" Trusting McGonagall accuracy. Worst sort of Muggles imaginable before exposure to Harry. Unless they were already exposed to a Horcrux that was never mentioned, I would call single Horcrux exposure unlikely cause of Dursleys being the worst sort of Muggles imaginable.

    Anyone notice that Uncle Vernon hoped that Harry would get the death penalty in Order of the Phoenix. There's an argument that the Dementor's Kiss is a form of death penalty in the wizarding world. So the fact that Harry saved Dudley from a dementor attack, Uncle Vernon was hoping his son would get the wizarding death penalty too. Both penalties are equal in my view, you lose your soul with the Kiss, so you might as well be dead.

Before you blame the horcrux… I believe they worked sort of like a bogart, amplifying a persons fears. Yes it made them all aggressive but it affected Ron worse.

    I have a theory. Here it is. Hermione is a budding mind-reader from very early in her life. Also, she kidnapped Trevor, Neville Longbottom's toad, in order to have an excuse to wander about the train, checking out the other students. She wanted to get an idea about what type of people she might be associating with for the next several years. She chose Ron and Harry to be friends with quickly after meeting them. Ron, from a large family of Muggle sympathizers, and Harry, whose mother was born from a non-magical family. She was worried about which house she would be placed in.

    The Draco is a werewolf theory is a lot more in depth than mentioned here - there's a pretty good super carlin brothers video on it for anyone who CBA reading this comment, but here's the evidence: - the mark on Draco's arm, though confirmed to be present, is never confirmed to be a dark mark - when he shows the mark to borgin, he specifically threatens borgin with greyback and borgin believes malfoy knows and has sway with greyback without question after seeing the mark. - at the top of the tower the night dumbledore died, the death eaters put up a magical barrier that only bearers of the dark mark could pass through. The barrier goes up after Draco gets to the top of the tower and is taken down before Draco leaves the tower. Why would the death eaters stop to remove it if they all had dark marks? - at the beginning of deathly hallows, Voldemort taunts the malfoys about their cousin, tonks, marrying Remus. He says to Draco "will you babysit the cubs?" Which is a very specific and odd taunt. - throughout book 6 Draco is described as sickly, pale, skinny, dark circles under his eyes, regularly disappearing - same descriptions and odd circumstances as lupin in book 3. Obv he is disappearing to work on the vanishing cabinet, but that might not be the only reason. - Also in 6, dumbledore expresses surprise that Draco would invite greyback to hogwarts where his friends live. Draco refuses to make eye contact with greyback and says he didn't know he'd be coming, seems extremely upset to be near him. - narcissa specifically seeks out Snape to help Draco in the sixth year, Snape is known to be capable of brewing wolfsbane potion which in 3 lupin says not many can do reliably. Maybe she knew Draco needed Snape's potions skills from that year on. JK said this theory is untrue, but it's one of my head canons. I think though most, if not all, of this evidence is circumstantial there's more than enough here to be plausible.

    @@JDF1996 all of my arguments are based off the book. But you're right, in the films he does show one. There are a lot of plot differences between books and films, like how in GoF in the book it's actually Dobby who gives Harry the gillyweed, not Neville. And in HBP, the burrow is never burned down. That's only in the films. One of my favourite moments from OotP is a film only scene, when Sirius yells "nice one, James" to Harry when they are fighting death eaters together in the ministry. Doesn't happen in the book but it's a brilliant moment. GoF basically changes genre entirely from a murder mystery whodunnit (book) to an action suspense (film) because the film reveals Barry crouch jr way at the beginning and the book doesn't reveal him until after the third task/graveyard when Harry returns to the school. In the book Karkaroff, Maxime, Crouch SR and Ludo Bagman (a book only character) are all red herrings for who put Harry's name in the goblet but in the film you just know from the start that moody isn't moody because of that dumb tongue flicking thing they had him do. But yeah the werewolf theory does not hold up in the world of the movies, only the books. A lot of fan theories apply only to one or the other because there are so many differences.

    About the magic gene, it doesn't just appear out of nowhere ("muggle borns") nor disappears ( "squibs"). You need to have it in your genes. Hermione's mother probably had a great great grandparent who was a Wizard and married a muggle, then the magical gene went on, until she met Hermione's father, who certainly had a wizard great great grandparent. As both had the magical gene within their DNA, Hermione got it from both and was born a Witch. The same goes for Squibs. There must be at least a muggle in the bloodline. They are like two different species who are similar enough to produce offspring

    I think what people are missing with the theory that Dumbledore knew Sirius was innocent is that Sirius TRIED to kill Pettigrew in public. There were DOZENS of witnesses. And no one, except Sirius and Pettigrew, knew that Pettigrew and not Sirius ended up being the secret keeper. Sirius was also in Azkaban for Pettigrews apparent murder, not just for the Potters deaths. There isn't exactly much point of a trial for a "murder" that happened in full view of a streetful of people, not in the wizarding world anyway. Given that Dumbledore had no reason to think Pettigrew was still alive and didn't know he had been the one to betray Lilly and James, he would have no real reason to visit Sirius.

    Maybe clothes can only be repaired so much for some reason? They have just been repaired so much by the time Ron gets them they show it by being more and more ragged and thread bare. True some things just don't make sense. You can't create something out of nothing. So could you grab a handful of dirt and then transform it to a huge feast? Could you turn a rock into a house or pie? I think in reality it would just be very boring to have wizards and witches transforming everything they needed. Like when Hermione fixes Harry's glasses I always wondered... Could the glasses be broken in two and then each piece repaired separately to make two pair of glasses? Could you turn a pumpkin into a carriage? Would it have to transform back into a pumpkin at some point? Sorry but the Cinderella reference just fit lol

    Rumour has it that the Weasley’s were cursed to never have excessive wealth. I can’t remember the details but search “the Weasley’s curse” Also, one of the basic laws of magic is that you cannot create from nothing. Meaning, if you have the materials, you could enchant a needle to sew autonomously, or a pot to stew, however you cannot just make clothes or food appear. What is done in the great hall is a trick. The food that appears on the tables, seemingly out of nowhere, is actually prepared by elves in the kitchen below and apperated to the tables above.

    4:16 OH… Hedwig..Snape, I never thought about that….makes sense…especially if he wanted to keep up appearances…i can add to this a bit, other than it being obvious that his loyal pet would give him away, it brings Snapes skills in Legilimency to mind, had he been tuned into Hedwigs intentions and that’s how it seemed to be a “flawless” accident? is it possible for a wizard to do with an animal? Am I thinking too deep into this? (But it’s that the point to fan theorying? 😎)
