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.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

A small point, from a UK fan, who is similar in age to Rowling, that rigorous background checks in any school didn't start happening until 2002, I think following The Soham murders. Uusally checks were briefly done via the police. I think Jo genuinely wanted the school experience to be based on real life schools in the UK. So anyone could teach in the UK with just a soft search when the books were set, thus allowing for any teacher to be at Hogwarts to mirror muggle schools. It's probably viewded as a plot hole based on either modern day society or ppl in countries unfamiliar with the UK pre2002 in my humble opinion.

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.

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.

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.

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.

5:56 This theory that only the four Marauders can see each other on the map falls short when you consider that in the book of Prisoner of Azkaban, Snape tracks Lupin to the Whomping Willow by seeing his movement on the map left open on his desk. Also, in the books, Harry literally sees Peter Pettigrew's name on the map before he is confronted by Snape after a trip out to Hogsmeade.

2:57. Pretty sure they DID do that. But food becomes less nutritious, hence why Rons wound took so long to heal. And sometimes the food was so lackluster that they didn't even want to multiply it.

Actually I think the book DID say they used broomsticks to get out of the Chamber of Secrets in The Deathly Hallows

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.)

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

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.

24:47 "Problems with the Wizarding Education System" ... Homeschooling ... Also, apprenticeships: instead of going to college, you receive on-the-job training. 26:15 "Portkey inconsistencies" The Goblet of Fire was probably enchanted twice - the first time to get Harry to the graveyard, the second time to transport Harry's body back to Hogwarts. This plays into my theory of the horcruxes, where Voldemort intended to turn Harry into a horcrux - sending him back to Hogwarts possessed and animated by a part of Voldemort's soul.

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.

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.

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.

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.

For the Ministry not catching Tonks doing magic at Harry's house, I do have an explanation that I originally thought of for the previous book, when Arthur did a bunch of magic at the Dursleys while picking Harry up. I think that an adult wizard can inform the Ministry that they're going to the minor's house at a particular time, so that any magic detected at that time isn't blamed on the minor.

Sirius wasn't captured. Harry only thought he'd been captured.

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.

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

If Bagman was commenting on the maze, why didn't he see Harry and Cedric disappear, or Krum cruciate Fleur?

I believe Geminio is the incantation for the multiplying charm, and we saw Hermione do that earlier with the locket horcrux. Well, if the made a replica of the horcrux but not another horcrux, then maybe the same is true for food.

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

@@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"

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.

Only Dumbledore knew the whole prophecy. And it was before either Harry or Neville was born. One more day and Harry isn't the boy of prophecy, Neville is. And Dumbledore himself states that he didn't know at the time that Tom Riddle would become the most feared Dark Wizard in living memory. He decided to keep an eye on him because he knew his personality and was worried. He didn't think he was right for a teaching post either right after graduating. Tom only knew the portion about the prophecy that pertained to being born at the end of July and to parents who had defied him thrice. Dumbledore never wanted James and Lily dead, he even offered to be their secret keeper. He had no way of knowing how everything would play out, though he got his first breakthrough when was given the Diary. Once he knew a horcrux was involved for sure that mandated a new plan.

14:18 and they had the Carrows in the school that would make it almost impossible, because they were on Voldemorts side

The books answer the question of if education goes on. Once each child decides what they want to do they go to training for that job.

@@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.

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.

Something to add to the question about how wizarding kids learn to read, write and do math. I would guess that some, like Molly Weasley, might help out other, more busy families by including their kids in her lessons. For example, especially after Luna's mother died, she might have home-schooled with Ginny.

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 Edit: My thoughts are based on the movie, not the book. I don’t know if the chamber flooded in the book.

16:40 It is clearly mentioned in the books that unlike a living person, whose soul lives on even if the body is destroyed, the little pieces of soul in the horcruxes are destroyed when the thing or body that carries it is completely destroyed.

29:15 I think the main point of the sorting system, which is explained in the movies (idk about the books) is that it puts the kids where they want to be. Slytherin is for kids who want to have the potential to lie and/or cheat to get ahead; they will do whatever it takes. The same goes for the other houses, and if Slytherin was actually the evil house (it was considered more 'imperfect' than 'evil,' but every house characteristics had obvious flaws like hubris, etc) then it wouldn't be a possibility in the first place

34:26 I just assumed they had more professors protecting the Slytherin’s in the great hall

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

@@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.

The Ministry should've been using veritaserum and pensieves for trials. Also, all top Ministry officials should've taken unbreakable vows against corruption. Just with that, they'd have made their society so much better. Even if a few people managed to somehow evade those precautions, most wouldn't be able to.

As far as all of the wand issues, it sounds like you're assuming they only buy one wand in their entire lifetime, which is silly if you think about it. Of course they upgrade their wands as they get older and more advanced. Bellatrix and the other Death Eaters used their old wands, just like Ron and Neville got hand-me-downs.

35:03 maybe they just thought it was the map malfunctioning. Sirius tells us that the map never lies, but the Weasley twins don't know that, right?
