The portraits of headmasters made me think. Could a painting be used for therapy? Say someone lost their mother, and painted a portrait of her, it may not really be her, but it would have to be cathartic to some extent

@@petrmaly9087I guess it would all depend on the person. My grandmother died a few years ago and I was super close to her, and I was devastated when she passed, even though I knew she wasn’t in pain anymore (her health got really bad in the last 18 months of her life) it was still difficult for me. But if I had portrait of her where we could still speak and say I love you to each other, I think that would be really therapeutic
If you divide 1000 by 43 you get an average of 23 years per headmaster if you include the 16 missing. Obviously this isn't accurate, as they weren't all headmasters for the exact same amount of time but, the math does track from what I can tell. 43 headmasters in 1000 years seems mathematically sound, unless I'm using the wrong equation.

Why do I feel like when Harry's kids showed up to Hogwarts, Mcgonagall probably thought retirement was possibly a good idea after dealing with now 3 generations of Potters! XD
I'm sure the 1st headmaster statue was restored as was the school, using the mending charm Reparo. Elizabeth Burke is in the 5th and 6th games of portrait shortcuts around the school. She leads u to the dungeon. Same goes for Giffard Abbott that leads to the transfiguration courtyard. He was a Hufflepuff since that's where ur suppose to get the password.
Great video!! Enjoyed this one a great deal. Wonder how many were heads of houses before they became headmaster or mistress
I literally was just wondering if you’d made a video about this yesterday!!
I love the videos you do i learn about the history in harry potter books and The Movies Keep up the good work with these videos
Great video. Good job 👍🏼
Awesome video!!!
I’m subbed with notifications on all month and still am missing your videos somehow
Very informative video, only thing I did pick up on is the date Dumbledor came to be headmaster. You mentioned 1992 which would mean he became headmaster the year after Harry attended Hogwards for the first time. He would have at least been headmaster since some point in the 60s/70s since Voldermort approached him to become a teacher and also in time to be headmaster around the time James and Lily attended Hogwards.

Hey there is one fan fiction video you can make. It can be called what if Gellert Grindelwald defeated Albus Dumbledore in their 1945 legendary duel? How would this affect Tom Riddle(aka Voldemort) and how would he react? You want want to discuss what would Voldemort think if Dumbledore lost to Grindelwald. You might want to explain how Grindelwald beating Dumbledore affects the Harry Potter timeline. I like your videos. Keep up the hard work and wish you all the best.
Could you make a video about jobs in the Ministry of Magic

Hogwarts Headmasters and headmistresses 1,000 years of History 1.] Archie the Architect ? or Unknown ? = Appointed by the three remaining Founders 2.] Professor Brian Gagwild = Book Author of Jiggery Pokey and Hocus Pocus 3.] Professor Heliotrope Wilkins = two portraits at Hogwarts one at the Grand staircase .... and the other in the Headmaster Office. 4.] Professor Phyllida Spore = Noted Herbologist Book Author One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi and Healing at Home with Herbs. 5.] Professor Edessa Sakndenberg = Lived in the fifteenth century her portrait painted was painted .... in 1503 year. She was a Social Historian, specializing in Muggle society. After her death, her portrait was hung in the Headmaster's office, so that she could advise the current Headmaster. She had more portraits around the castle: in the East Wing, Grand Staircase and other halls such as the Glanmore Peakes' Corridor. 6.[ 7.] 8.] 9.] 10.] Eupraxia Mole | Vulpus | Phyllida Spore | Dexter Fortescue | Edessa Sakndenberg | Amrose Swott | Everard | Vindictus Veridian | Dilys Derwent | Quintin Trimble | Limebert | Phineas Nigellus Black | Walter Aragon | Basil Fronsac | Armando Dippet | Albus Dumbledore | Dolores Umbridge | Severus Snape | Minerva McGonagall | Brian Gagwilde | Elizabeth Burke This is going to take a long time to write out I will have to continue another day.

He decides to give the Black titles and fortune to 9 Potter unless Sirius has an heir.

I think in Hogwarts Legacy we may learn more of the headmasters and headmistress of the past, so u be able to go in the heads room and might be able to talk to the previous headmistress s and headmasters or the current one in the game may talk about them, if that's an option not sure until we learn more of the game maybe bit more in the year like in March to July not sure which be the best month for company making the game release some more information or gameplay of the game?

Abbott was actually in the Harry Potter half blood Prince game because in the game you could go through portrait holes from different paintings to different parts and he was one of them and his password was light against darkness because you have to have a password to get through one

Does dumbledore have a portrait in the castle? I think it would have been really neat to see McGonagall or Harry himself ask the portrait for advice in the deathly hallows. Just something, Anything, to see he still lives on in some way.

The third headmistress, is a portrait of Elizabeth Barrett Browning.
Dexter Fortescue sounds cool maybe it's his name? I wonder who the longest serving head was apart from the founders
Brian is a very unlikely name for the 11th century. Though if Brian was present at the crucifiction, I guess we can all live in the bright side of life.

Do we ever learn how magic is created in lore? I mean the majority of magic seems to be from the words, but does it simply have to be the right words for the magic to happen? Cause once something is created, it seems anyone can do it as long as they know the words to do it. I get to do the magic one needs the will, energy, tools, and techniques...that's fine...but how does one create the magic in the first place?

How could Dippet have retired as Headmaster in 1992? Harry and friends went to Hogwarts in 1991 and Dumbledore was Headmaster then. Also, if I recall correctly, Dumbledore was Headmaster when Riddle applied for the DADA position in the 60s or 70s.

I believe in reincarnation by free will, meaning that you & you alone dictate your own reincarnations & all their circumstances, & that you can be born into whatever world you want bc you are ultimately a creator or co creator of all worlds. There are plenty of time periods, alternative histories, & fictional worlds id love to reincarnate to & live in. The Wizarding World is def one of them, but so is FF. I'd def be a the asshole in the European dark ages that causes the muggle to fear all things magic by raging a war on them.

Your timeline is pretty messed up,because Dumbledore became headmaster in 1970 or 71,just when the Maurauders,Lily and Snape started their school,because he was the one who came up with the Idea of Whomping Willow. And Armando Dippet was Headmaster when Tom Riddle was at school so definitely between 1938-45. And your Timelines just don't match any of it
