Deleted Character The Vampire Professor Who Never Made It To The Books

Yeah true

[@unionjack84]

I always thought of Snape as a Vampire. He reminded me of one. His class didn't have windows, it was in a basement, he dressed in black, he never smiled. He was dark and broody. It was confirmed when Harry stated Snape resembled a bat when he flew away after his duel with Mcgonagall. At least for me anyway

[@Longshanks1690]

I mean, if a ghost, a half-giant, a werewolf and a centaur can be professors, why not a vampire too? 😂 On a serious note, I think there was something to be done with a vampiric professor, but Rowling’s mistake was limiting herself by thinking he had to be a dark, brooding, sinister character like Snape. Instead, what could have been interesting is if Trocar was the complete opposite, however that manifested. He could be charming, witty, extroverted, funny, kind, patient, whatever attributes you can think of, the point being that in spite of his nature, he was always trying to be the best person he could in contrast to all the other vampires in the world who all too easily give in to their worst impulses. This could also lead into a subplot in the later books where people like Harry don’t trust him because of how universal support for Voldemort is among vampires but unlike his suspicions of Snape, he was wrong to suspect Trocar. That’s just one example, of course, but the point is that I don’t think it had to be a vampire as we traditionally view them. He could have been a really cool and interesting addition to the faculty of Hogwarts, bolstering the message that books should not be judged by appearances and that it’s our actions not our abilities that show who we really are.

[@kingalady4352]

While I like the idea you described, I feel like choosing this approach would create another set of problems. Making Trocar dark and brooding makes him too similar to Snape.... but making him kind and patient makes him too similar to Remus. Remus already is that, kind, likeable teacher who turns out to be somekind of dark creature, who tries his best to be a good person and doesn't fit the evil stereotype of his kind, who doesn't support Voldemort like many others like him etc. I can easily see how making Trocar a bit similar would end up being... a bit repetetive. Also, werewolves are technically dangerous only during the fullmoon. Vampires are dangerous all the time. Would people really care THAT much about Remus being a werewolf if there already was a freaking vampire teacher at school? So yeah, while I REALLY like the idea of a vampire teacher at school... I just really can't see how it could work, when Snape and Remus already exist. Perhaps introducing him in another way could work instead? He could be a member of the Order, a FORMER teacher, he could live in Hogsmead...

[@seabreeze4559]

he'd have TONS of time to be the most interesting professor ever, like who's more PATIENT with kids than a literal IMMORTAL?

[@Longshanks1690]

@@kingalady4352 While there would undoubtedly be contrasts and parallels to Remus, it doesn’t have to be the same story as his, not at all. Perhaps the most fundamental difference is that Trocar would be there for all seven years as he’s able to cover up his vampirism from the public whereas Remus’ was made public knowledge and his reaction to that alone could be super interesting. Would he go along with the mob to save himself or stand up for Remus knowing that could be him too one day? Likewise, Remus was also alone as a werewolf, he didn’t have much contact with any others of his kind and everyone he knew was a human. You could create another contrast there with Trocar always being in contact with other vampires because the connections between vampires are stronger and harder to give up than those between werewolves. So while Remus never had his loyalties questioned, Trocar is really put through trials of his own as he faces hostility from wizards who see him as a potential double agent or whether to just embrace the darkness and be as evil as the rest of his clan. While Remus also struggled with the beast within, it was more an analogy for depression if anything. And while both are important, they’re both dealing with two very different themes outside “they’re monsters who don’t want to be monsters anymore.” Again, there are other ideas you could come up with but my point is that there are ideas and ways to differentiate them and you don’t have to keep their characters the same surface level story when there’s a lot of different things you could do with them as vampires and werewolves are two very different creatures.

[@Fifenfurter]

That's totally how I imagined a vampire in her world too. Maybe a little mistrusting or jaded by the slightly jo shmo wizard but vampires are always full of limitless knowledge and seem to have a wicked sense of humor, and are full of very well hidden surprises. Add a huge dash of endangerment to students that Hogwarts is famous for and you have the perfect teacher. Lmao. That being said, the amount of vampire movies that came out in the 90s/early 2000s was kind of insane. It might have been harder to create a character like that, like trying to add to an already loud and busy conversation that began before you got there. Why trouble yourself when there are so many other people to talk to?

[@blackrob1985able]

You are right and I still would love the movies if the was how it played out. He reminds me of iroh from the last airbender and the movie would never be as good if we didn’t have them

[@kiwigirl92]

it would have been cool to see vampires in HP. I love the sound of JKs take on vampires.

[@StuartLugsden]

JK also said she didn’t know what she could do to make her vampires unique from others which is why they didn’t have a major presence in the series.

[@MSinistrari]

I highly doubt she could've done worse than Twilight.

[@blacknonbinarydisabledlesbian]

Eh, she could've given them a charismatic warm personality to contradict their often gothic stereotype. Drinks the blood of criminals,or any shade of crimson that isn't blood itself, any potion that Snape could create that replicated (but doesn't fully replace) blood, don't burn in sunlight, just irritates/blinds them (like having blue eyes and looking at snow during a bright sunny day.

[@StuartLugsden]

@@MSinistrari true 😂

[@StuartLugsden]

@@blacknonbinarydisabledlesbian not bad

[@LadyYautjaSpacePirate]

Sparkling vampires? Bleh! 🤮

[@TheSaneHatter]

A character like Trochar could easily have been inserted into the series' periphery, either as a precursor to Slughorn & Snape (like "Hogwarts: Legacy") or as a successor. An adult Harry could have met him and wryly remarked that he seemed awfully familiar, or Slughorn could have remarked that Snape had grown to be a lot like his own predecessor, Trochar.

[@LadyYautjaSpacePirate]

Agreed! 👍

[@SeroCloud]

How JK handled werewolves in the book, a vampire professor would have been an amazing addition. His interaction with lupin would have been awesome. Too bad. I find it strange why vampires were barely mentioned in the book. Oh well.

[@MdTriki]

Because they are shy/anti-social and introverted by nature, they must be..

[@Fifenfurter]

That's a really good point. I would have loved to see how she created their dynamic.

[@jare3959]

I always found it so strange to put majority of the deaths in the last book. It created a numbness and low stakes since the series ended. I talk to a lot of people that forget that Fenrir killed Lavender Brown, which twin died, or that Moody & Hedwig were killed. There's a strange denial about Hedwig that creates almost a Mandela effect that she was for some reason only stunned? (Its cute that some people think the Death Eaters stun.) Of course there's also confusion over adaptation changes like Crabbe dying in the movie instead of Goyle, and the presence of Blaise.

[@Fifenfurter]

That's exactly what I said! None of the deaths are really believable. Certain characters are better for more impactful deaths. It needs to make more sense.

[@stephane1623]

I wish vampires had more presence in the book but at least we had werewolves so that balances out I guess haha. Good to see your handsome face for the first time 😊

[@JoshRazauskas]

I never knew about this this is really fascinating. I think it would’ve been an interesting character. Thanks for sharing!

[@trustmemysonisadoctor8479]

Dean I enjoy all of your videos including the AI generated images of the characters from the books, if you make it I will watch it, thanks for all your hard work to entertain us.

[@HashimThaDream]

I’d always wondered why Voldemort never considered becoming a vampire since they are technically immortal, not unkillable but certainly immortal, but this video definitely cleared up that question. Too many complications in Voldemort’s eyes I guess. And would he still be able to use a wand if he was turned into one might have also been a concern.

[@richewilson6394]

I think Quirrell was using the garlic and the vampire excuse to cover up Lord Voldemort's smell. Idk if he was emitting some kind of odor because of the Unicorn Blood or something but it also might be the fact that garlic does seem to help people's vitality. So he could be using a garlic to keep himself going while being a host.

[@bookmouse2719]

Gilderoy was a sort of vampire sucking other's memories.

[@ladyD2005]

Great amazing work is what you do Dean at least that’s what I think so on camera,regular content or whatever is on/comes to your mind that you wanna do go for it!!

[@Longshanks1690]

I think making her vampires mortal was to make Voldemort’s push for immortality through other means much more of a necessity for him as if vampirism is an option available, why wouldn’t he go through the steps to achieve that, which would presumably be less costly than horcruxes would be? I think she wanted to stress just how obscene and unnatural wanting to live forever is, as accepting death is one of the central themes of the story, and having an entire race of creatures running around who are immortal undermines the thematic importance of how twisted Voldemort is to even want to desire to be immortal in this world, nevermind actually getting as close as he did to achieving it.

[@kiwigirl92]

Interesting idea but I think voldy was so obsessed with wizard purity that being a vampire would be off-putting to him, but you have a really good point and it makes sense.

[@Firespawnable]

​@@kiwigirl92 ​​ Yes, you're right that's a very good point Voldemort had a lot of pride when he found out he was a wizard and he really admired his ancestor Salazar Slytherin who was famous for believing in pure blood wizard supremacy so Voldemort would want to stay a wizard he wouldn't want to be a vampire lol 🤣

[@jakobrenner2230]

I honestly think that, even if vampirism made one immortal in HP, Voldemort wouldn’t have pursued it. The reason is fairly simple: Voldemort hates to rely on external things to “live” and, just as he hated the necessity to drink blood from a Unicorn, he would hate to do the same with mortal humans (not to mention other potential weaknesses that would come with vampirism). Also, if you are a vampire you can still be destroyed and you’ll never come back from that. Horrocruxes, by contrast, solve all these issues, it’s a better insurance policy.

[@seabreeze4559]

the sunlight thing

[@MdTriki]

It is additionally good to mention that voldemort has a dominant trait of academic hubris, vampirism is simply a classic, while voldemort loved new magical achievements and prouesses, so he may had wanted to design a new way to achieving immortality besides vampirism or the long life elexir that flammel perfected.. a profile of an ambitious academic in dark arts..

The garlic thing isn't common to all vampires. In Italian culture, vampires have no problem with garlic.

[@LadyYautjaSpacePirate]

That's because Italians eats lots of garlic in pizza and pastas, increasing their tolerance to it. Lol

[@usern4metak3ns]

[@Positivekitten]

Just as an aside, as an American, I will still call it the Philosopher’s Stone. I always hate that they felt the need to “dumb down“ the title for us over here.

[@sakurapablo671]

A vampire professor is cool. But it does make you wonder if the highest of blood smell will drive them a bit crazy. Which, i think he does drink before teaching.

[@rebbeccahoneycutt7941]

When it comes to the characters themselves I 100% agree with you Remus over Arthur, but when it comes to effect: Remus hurts us the audience, Arthur cripples Molly... and I don't feel that Molly would have ever recovered. (I also have head canon that Molly would slip up in her elder years and call George Fred, but he wouldn't correct her like they did when the were kids...) Also this was a fascinating video, thank you for it, I had never actually looked into this or even the Vamipres of this world.

But if Lupin lived, would he be a widower or would Tonks have been saved too?

[@whunt5533]

Would've been cool but it would've changed the issues with lupin. Part of the coolness of Dumbledore was that he hired lupin when no one else would if he already had the vamp working there it would've made the reaction muted. Far as querell I believe he was a bad ass but voldemort had him be all shudders and shakes. That or it could be covering up a smell coming from voldemort

[@scloftin8861]

Early on in the books, I did wonder if Snape was possibly part vamp ... given the descriptions, etc. A vampire professor would have been interesting ... especially if they pitted the vamp against Snape ... could have made him more bright in character, but still stuck in the basement and sniping back and forth between him and Snape.

[@eranshachar9954]

I actually love videos in which you show your face that's nice. You said some might not think it's a good idea for let's say Centaurs to teach. I can hear Firenze saying "Excuse me muggle am I a joke for you?" Firenze was actually a good teacher in an unnecessary subject. Wait a minute, I know he is not from the same franchise but if the British Vampire lore is different- Where does it leave Spike? I would have enjoyed a Vampire teaching at Hogwarts. The Super Carlin Brothers imagined Snape himself as a Vampire because he can turn into a Bat when his Patronus is a Doe.

[@EricasTouch]

I enjoy both on screen and off screen videos.

[@24934637]

Absolutely briliant choice of name.....I've not had time to watch the full vid yet, so you MAY possibly mention this useless but interesting fact. The Vampire teacher named Trocar.....Perfect name! A Trocar is a hollow spear about 2ft long, and just under 1/2 inch in diameter, which is used to drain blood and other body fluids during the process of embalming a deceased body!

[@ravenuribes9460]

Okay, I LOVE lupin. Like top 3 favorite characters but keeping Arthur was the right call bc it kept a stable family for Ron and Harry. Also, lupin was suffering 😢

[@grandmyotismon]

Garlic and onions amongst others have compounds in them that lyses red bloods in certain animals. So likely the fact it renders some animals anemic is where it comes from.

[@jakobrenner2230]

I know vampires were not explored much in HP (or at all) but I wonder if they were considered undead like inferi. If this was the case, I imagine that, in order to kill a vampire, one must burn it with fire instead of attempting the Killing Curse.

Voyages with Vampires... Gives a sense of...Vampires are not well liked....and being at Sea would hive them a sense of freedom... With occasional raiding parties for... Food.... Of course. Ever notice how Sanguini was REALLY into teen girls? That's what you'd end up with if a Vampire was a professor... An entirely TOO adult subplot or plot. MY HP Vampire does not do blood...unless around Muggles. Around Witches and Wizards, Vampires drain magic...leaving a person too drained to ever do magic again if they go too far. And THAT would be quite the antagonist. 😊

[@LordFarKwadth]

She didn’t make them immortal because it goes against everything she wrote about. And instead of destroying horcruxes Harry would’ve carried some garlic to kill Voldemort. To JK everyone must die, it is a part of life and we must accept it, this was one of the main themes, this was the story of Voldemort, that at the end as much as he tried to be immortal and cheat death, he died. Immortal vampires would ruin her world, where no one is immortal even the ones who manage to get the philosopher’s stone

[@gracefulannie-grcflannie-]

I get what you mean about not liking the garlic thing but the reason that’s used is because garlic is a natural repellent. People line their gardens with it to repel certain pests like insects and vermin. So, it’s meant to do the same to vampires.

I like that vampires aren’t all that special. I’m tired of vampires pretty much being the OP monsters around. Also I like that vampires don’t live that much longer than witches/wizards. Dumbledore was 116 when he died and he was still pretty spry. So even their lifespan doesn’t get much of a boost.

[@Fifenfurter]

I completely agree about Arthur vs Lupin. Mr. Weasley would have been a way better choice. His death would have made us miss his absence even more? We know his story and know what it means for him to be alive in lots of ways. I also would have killed Ginny off. For her to have gone through so much with the Chamber of secrets only to die would also have been a very story impacting death. Lupin's death seems highly unlikely to me making it less believable and less impactful. His story is already too mysterious. That's one of the reasons he's my fav. character. But his story should have gone on. Rowling just kills all the marauders off. It would have been good to leave one alive. Lupin was always more of a (literally) lone wolf anyway. All of that also made me feel like she had a number in her head for how many main characters should die instead of just writing based on what originally inspired her. Dumbledore dying didn't make me cry when I read the books in elementary school but Sirius did. Harry's supposed to finally have a happy ending with his loving godfather and Sirius is set up really well for a death. I never, believed Dumbledore was dead till I read the last page of Deathly Hallows. 😑 Dumbledore's Phoenix is, supposedly, Godric Gryffindor in permanent animagus form. So he basically can't die but cant turn back to his human form cause it's too old. Dumbledore's probably just as brilliant as Godric, if not more, and a better wizard than Voldemort and even Voldemort found a way to cheat death. ?!!! The last couple movies weren't tear jerkers for me either and "huge fan" doesn't begin to sum up how I feel about Harry Potter. Last thing, I think Quirrel wore the garlic to try and sell his fearful, traumatised persona while he hid the fact that he was helping Voldemort.

[@tarotfool1617]

I like your videos you read some pointers during it from paper or a document or something, and it kinda takes your eyes away from the camera and makes you look in another direction. would it be possible to stick it under your camera or something? keeps the people more interested if you're always looking at them, rather than the script/pointers etc.

[@daniellemusella1594]

For Jo, deciding against including a vampire professor, because having TWO dark, mysterious, brooding figures of authority at Hogwarts was one too many, proved to be quite funny. I wonder at what point she became aware of the fan-theory that the remaining figure was a vampire. (5/12/2023)

Maybe being an eternal vampire would had been something Voldemort would have searched instead of creating Horcruxes.
