I want to watch the rest of this.

The lion one, yeah I didn’t try coz even if there was a reversing set of words and actions, how could I do this as a lion and would turning into a lion take away my ability to read human languages.

That was just too short. I want to hear what else he had to say.

It's fascinating, right? Unfortunately we can only show short clips on here but you can watch the full documentary on the BBC Select channel on Prime Video & the Apple TV app

This video title and description are so misleading. I thought it was going to be about how the practice of dark magic is linked to the Ethiopian text. But transforming into animals isn't dark magic in the Harry Potter universe, it's referred to as Transfiguration and is a class taught in school. And then the video says this text is the foundation for Defense Against the Dark Arts, not "the study of 'darks arts'" as the video description says. It might be unintentional but the way this video is presented I understood it as Ethiopian magic being the inspiration for HP's dark magic, but that doesn't seem to be what the expert in this video is saying.
