13:27 Maybe a bit of a Hot Take but in spite of the messed up way the Dursleys viewed Lily & her family (& wizard kind in general), I found this one act of Vernon’s unconditional love for Petunia very touching, because it meant in spite of the fact he was an absolute pig of a man (metaphorically & literally) he did truly love his wife.

[@Lucky-Charm-547]

Am I the only one wondering how many witches and wizards took a time-turner and just stayed in the past forever? That would have been the EASIEST escape route from Voldemort. Speaking of which, why was no one willing to sacrifice their life to stop the worst dictator in the world?

[@dannylagangonzalez6832]

Well, that would only have been possible in the first war, because they were all destroyed post OOTP, but many people wouldn't have done that because it's incredibly cruel and selfish. Anyone with any little bit of morality would have stayed and fought him, so many did, also I don't know what you're talking about with the second thing, because many people gave their lives fighting him in both wars. Also, it would have been a huge risk to do the first thing anyway, because living in the past forever can still have ripple effects on the future if you even change the smallest of things. Even if you stopped Tom Riddle from being born for example, you run the risk of something even worse happening. There was a book once written where someone stopped Hitler from being born, only for it to lead to an even worse dictator rising.

[@AudreyArnett-si3ss]

@@dannylagangonzalez6832 Also, wouldn't you eventually have to come back to the present? And If you kept traveling back in time again and again and again, you would just slowly age till you died.

[@edschelchang6123]

Because in Harry Potter time travel uses Novikov self-consistency principle. It's hard for me to explain but the best way to put it is that the time loop is self contained, every thing the time traveler has done in the past has already happened and cannot change what happened. The present is what it is because someone time travelled

[@qman2061]

Canon event

[@JefferyMewtamer]

Well, a few things come to mind. 1. Prisoner of Azkaban presents HP time travel as working on a stable time loop model, e.g. changing the past is impossible, the time travellers have already done what they are going to do. All changes during the repeated 3-hours in Hermione's Secret are tricks of perspective... Granted, extended lore contradicts this, but the extended lore is also inconsistant about time travel. 2. Time Turners are highly regulated and anyone issued one is under the Wizarding equivalent of a non-disclosure agreement. Time Turners are also stored in the Department of Mysteries, so its likely even the Ministry staff at large aren't in on the existence of magical time travel. 3. Not many people know Voldemort is Tom Riddle. 4. Voldemort had a spy in the Department of Mysteries who was only found out as a turncoat after Voldemort's first fall. Rookwood would likely have tried to talk the other unspeakable out of such a plan if it was brought up. 5. The Time Turners were all destroyed in Book 5. 6. Even if altering the past were possible and the existence of time travel wasn't so secret, and people knew Voldemort's real identity, there's the issue of finding someone who could kill a young Tom Riddle before he became a threat in cold blood without being nasty enough themselves to wreak havoc(I forget the title, but there's a story that was published in Asimov's Science Fiction at some point in the last decade or so where a group of time travellers tried sending Hitler back to kill baby Hitler... and instead Hitler ended up taking his younger self under his wing and the two Hitlers went on to be far worse than the unaltered timeline. 7. Even if someone killed the young Tom Riddle... or gave Tom Riddle Senior a vasectomy before Merope could feed him love potion, or prevent Merope from using love potions, etc. It's hard to say what ripple effects that change would have.

I have two facts about Professor Trelawney. The first fact is she predicted that Harry was a horcrux by saying Harry was born in mid-winter but voldemort was born on the 31st December in mid-winter. The second fact is that she predicted Dumbledore's death in book 3 by saying "the first to rise is the first to die" after Dumbledore had risen from the table when there was 12 people, but Pettigrew was in Ron's pocket so there were 13.

[@j-rey-]

I definitely want a part 2. There is so much cool lore that never made it into the books that is really cool worldbuilding. My favorite is Lethifolds, a dangerous, dark magical beast that looks like a black cloak and feeds on humans. They are unkillable, and the only way to fight against them is, oddly, the Patronus charm. No one knows why the spell used to repel the Dementors also repels Lethifolds.

[@The-Jai-5328]

Could you make a video ranking Harry Potter plot twists?

[@rorylynch7775]

That one would be easy considering the Fantastic Beasts films and the Cursed Child would all make up all of the the bottom spots lol

[@The-Jai-5328]

fantastic beasts movies were good imo, especially the first one

[@rorylynch7775]

​​​@@The-Jai-5328the first ones fine, but it would have been a good overall franchise if it had actually stayed focused on the Fantastic Beasts, and have done an entirely separate series about Dumbledore and Grindelwald. Mashing them together was such a stupid decision. As soon as they revealed that Graves was Grindelwald all along at the end of the first movie, there was no going back

[@Teajonmustard]

You know I’ve gotten so deep in the Harry Potter lore that I’m starting to realize how much influenced wizards are by muggle technology. It would be cool if we got a movie where we saw wizards being just as convinced muggels are performing magic with they’re iPhones as they would with they’re wands.

[@ssjdeadpool]

Hermione does mention in the fifth book if I'm not mistaken That the hat had a difficult time deciding whether or not to put her in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. In response to, I believe it was Michael Corner, asking why she wasn't in Ravenclaw

[@certainlynotthebestpianist5638]

Especially James parents, considering wizards live longer.

[@MagicSpectrum]

2:27 So that's why the Ministry of Magic thought using Dementors for work at Azkaban in the first place.

[@j-rey-]

That was probably a reason, but they probably wouldn't have to worry too much about that since they took the criminals' wands, and I'm not sure if you can cast a patronus without a wand. The main reason they used them for Azkaban is that there is no way to kill them, they asexually reproduce, and if they didn't get regular souls to feed on, they would leave Azkaban and terrorize the mainland, and eventually the world.

[@MagicSpectrum]

@@j-rey- They reproduce?

[@MagicSpectrum]

and for wether or not they can cast a patronus charm, Uagado students such as Natsai Onai proved that magic could be cast without a wand. I'm not saying that all of wizardkind can cast a patronus charm without a wand. I'm saying it's possible.

[@j-rey-]

@@MagicSpectrum - Yes, dementors sort of grow like mold where there is intense suffering. There is probably more to it, but that is the gist. You can probably google for more info. - I know that magic can be done without a wand, but I was wondering about the Patronus in particular. The video says that maggots come out of the end of your wand, but what happens if you cast it without a wand?
