Can you imagine a Harry Potter horror movie about the creation of Dementors?

[@Jack_Grimson]

That'd be wicked

[@macwelch8599]

@@Jack_Grimson Rated R lol

[@FirePhoenix001-fn9bg]

That would be perfect for Halloween if you ask me, but that would be with Rowling's blessing, and contribution to the movie, so that the movie would be canon, and not just a what if or a Fan fiction movie 😎😎😎

[@mackenzieneal1660]

I'd totally watch it.

[@mild_meme]

Given how old the magical world is, I find it strange that it took until the 15th century until something as basic as a levitation was invented.

[@desertpunk134]

It also doesn’t make sense that they were flying on brooms before levitation was invented

[@blarfroer8066]

It's because world building is not exactly Rowling's forte. I imagine she created the 15th century guy first, while she merely focused on Britain. All the ancient history and magic users from all over the world were basically a retcon

[@alexandercolengelo8418]

They could just say it was lost knowledge and rediscovered later on

[@merafirewing6591]

​@@blarfroer8066 at least an acceptable retcon.

[@williamcarbajal383]

I'll just believe that it was common but never formally defined until then. 😂

[@devonmoreau]

if your patronus kills you, you might be a dementor

[@RichObiQuan]

Make it happen

[@zeroflight6867]

Can you imagine how scary a Dementor that carries a wand and can do magic would be?

[@IBW_3000]

What I wouldn’t give to see a crossover with the Wizarding World and BBC’s Merlin.

[@SubjectDelta20]

You should read the "James Potter" series by G.Norman Lippert. It's a series of books that take place after the events of the Deathly Hallows and center around all the children of the people in the original books. The series was so well written it was even sanctioned and made canon by J.K. Rowling herself. In these novels, Merlin himself locked himself away in a prison outside time itself, but James Potter (Harry's oldest) accidentally let him out while on an "adventure". I think the books start with James in his 3rd or 4th year at Hogwarts

[@himwhoisnottobenamed5427]

I’d rather see the Wizarding world meet the Great Old Ones.

[@mattiaskeinnn3317]

There is just something about mystery that always attracted my mind. Fantasy movies, space, sht like that always has been extremely intriguing to me.

[@Steggo18]

I have a video idea: Who are all the wizards and witches that have their names on Chocolate Frog Cards?

[@alsimmonshellspawn6021]

I want fantastic beasts 4 with Johnny depp as grindelwald 😢😢😢

[@realitytvshow2604]

I really want Fantastics beasts too... I don't care who they cast Grindelwald as

[@Lmcbenn]

Jamie Campbell Bower?

[@Rrrafael.00]

I just want a newt story and not a Dumbledore story.

[@CallemJayNZ]

Haven't they ruled out any further movies?

[@CalypsoCalypso100]

I agree! Only Johnny can be Grindelwald 😢 I want them to give Fantastic Beasts another go

[@trehubb6144]

Vids like this show there are gold mines for so many potential stories within movies and TV shows to be told

[@weemama]

Small correction - European persecution of witches was early modern, not medieval . In fact medieval theologians said that claiming witchcraft existed was an error and gave the devil undue influence.

[@Pokemon-Kid112]

Daemonologie King James wrote a dissertation titled Daemonologie that was first sold in 1597, several years prior to the first publication of the King James Authorized Version of the Bible.

[@Pokemon-Kid112]

Check your facts. The Stuart era is hardly early modern. More like middle ages

[@weemama]

@@Pokemon-Kid112 1600+ is certainly early modern. No one would call it medieval!

[@Pokemon-Kid112]

I wasn't saying medieval, I was saying middle ages, it goes dark ages, medieval era, middle ages, early modern then modern. I study history for fun, as the key to the future is the past.

[@weemama]

@@Pokemon-Kid112 I was a medieval studies major at Brown University. Your scheme is not used by historians.

[@brianbrady3086]

I wish I could get a book series of the years of voldemort at hogwarts, the mauraders/lily/snape at hogwarts, and even a book on the founders of hogwarts.

[@justingraves1291]

Why are wands allowed in Quidditch? Harry uses one to repel dementors and scary disguised Malfoy crew, but wouldn't Accio Snitch be a lot better of a use?

[@vexile1239]

Apparently the snitch was enchanted with spells that made it immune to such things

[@justingraves1291]

@vexile1239 one would think, but with the nonsensical way most of the Wizarding world makes I wouldn't have been surprised if it just was never thought of...why use owls for post when teleportation is an option?!

[@asclepiusletsplay1573]

It technically is not allowed. The reason Harry got away with it was that he did it in self-defense.

[@nineblackgoats]

​@@justingraves1291because sending mail to people is considered more polite and less invasive than materializing unannounced into their living room.

[@Evoker23-lx8mb]

If Circe, a real life goddess from Greek mythology was a witch in the wizarding world, does that mean other gods from both Greek and other mythologies could’ve been wizards and witches that muggles just began worshipping as godlike figures due to their lack of understanding of magic? For example look at all the feats that Jesus performs in Judaeo-Christian mythology that are considered miracles. In the wizarding world, most of that is relatively simple magic all things considered.

[@nineblackgoats]

Circe was a demigoddess, but even back in the Ancient times she was mostly known as a powerful sorceress (granted, her powers likely had to do with her divine heritage and her mother being a nymph). In that line of logic, yes, I would agree that Jesus would count as a wizard.

[@aevenova9780]

Goes to Azkaban- what are you in for? (Outrageous silliness) ! 😂

[@barbiquearea]

I wonder if Saint Germain is part of Wizarding World canon? Since Nicolas Flamel (another renowned wizard based on a famous alchemist) already exists then I imagine someone as esteemed as Saint Germain surly must have lived at some point in Wizarding World history.

[@Creepfastkilla24]

Where did you get this information? How do you know this is true?

[@baystated]

After everything we've learned about the living portraits at the school, is there an additional type of portrait? Portraits of Wizards and Witches who lived before the creation of living portraits. If Circe lived on that faraway island long ago, we can doubt that she sat for living portrait to be painted. Would her portrait be one created for educational purposes like how schools today might have posters of George Washington or Winston Churchill? But in this case her image and personality were both the creation of the artist.

[@danson1992]

Where does all this extra information come from? Is there like a Harry Potter Silmarillion?

[@Harry-Hartmann]

A very Good Video 👍🏻

[@williamcannon1930]

yeah Bobalos, i see you on your book in many of your vids. it really is a great mount. it was by far the best of the ones offered to vote on when Blizz did that. great choices!

[@Martyste]

I'm actually familiar with some of these wizards as their name and description appear on the collectable Wizard Cards of HP1/2 on 5th and 6th gen consoles. Having the videogames alongside the movies and books was yet another opportunity for young fans at the time to expand their knowledge of the lore.

[@Koalawashington]

I always imagined it as the wizards discovering new spells more than creating them

[@jessicajayes8326]

If I had a patronus, it would be a jackalope, they always make me laugh.

[@Ono-Lin_Tam]

Several, I'm familiar with. My favorite is Wendelin the Weird. That crazy witch's story is hilarious.

[@pattymakessales1710]

I just want Harry Potter to move to an episodic medium so everything can be properly fleshed out. If they made a Supernatural esque show (13+ seasons with 20+ 40 minute long episodes) in the Harry Potter world you could milk us fans for all we’re worth

[@philiplubduck6107]

They could do everything well in a movie. Just like lord of the rings 3+ hours long with a special edition with deleted scenes to make each movie about 4 hours long. That would be much more fleshed out than the current movies.

[@jonathanmorrison9134]

I've heard of Morgana, but not her last name. Your research of Morgana is the same as I've learned about her, though I first learned about her rise of power from an episode of the original "Macgyver" TV series in its seventh (and final) season. I wonder if Dumbledore would've stood a chance against her had he been around at that point in time.

I want to say or my theory is that it similar to knowing a president/king/emperor etc. From one history (in my case mexico) You may know thier name in passing and maybe 1-2 things they did But there so much history that they get lost in it and get forgotten until you go back and look

Has anyone ever asked... Where does all this lore come from? Small pieces are from the books or JK but then people run hog wild and made up bs becomes established lore in this community. People call stuff "theories" without ever understanding what that word means.
