[@AzureRoxe]

The words "i should not have said that..." manifest as his Patronus.

[@jl-carter]

2:20 Hagrid also says in the first book (when he’s trying to decide which pet to get Harry for his birthday) that he doesn’t like cats and they make him sneeze :)

[@coolcucumber201]

Yeah, that’s what I thought when they started talking about cats.

[@ellahyde7020]

If only Hagrid's Patronus could have been a blast ended skrewt.

[@ultimagaming935]

Or maybe something like Aragog ? Or even a baby Norwegian Ridgeback,like Nobert ?

[@kaydenlewis2185]

Or a hippogriff like buckbeak

[@hxppynxss6754]

haha so true

[@starkiepantz4463]

🤣

[@CyprustheWaruhi]

That's what i was thinking! And you happen to be the first comment on this video

[@jakobfowler]

I saw the title and said out loud, “Aragog”.

[@mallikarjunamatcha5066]

Me too

[@theaspreysisters3587]

I never thought of that I thought bukbeak or fang but that is amazing

[@davidwhite1472]

Or aradog???

[@charlesbrowning9748]

That's what I thought too.

[@Janloop]

I would think dragon

[@CopiaPerson]

They didnt use hippogriffs to fly to the ministry because thestrals have an amazing sense of direction and know exactly where to go once told. Also flying on hippogriffs would take some time, I think, because there has to be mutual respect first while thestrals are very gentle.

[@trentonthecouch7544]

That is what I said just later cause I’m watching this now

[@Groundlord]

The demeanor of the creatures was my guess as well. An invisible-yet-gentle death pegasus seems like a better idea to me than a potentially volatile eagle horse. That said, if they were going into open battle in the sky I'd opt for the hippogryphs since it would be *badass*... And cuz we don't have much information on how dangerous a thestral might be in a fight.

[@semir9112]

Maybe also to stay invisible. A flying person on an, for most people on the world (cause let's be honest not many people see the exact moment someone dies), invisible creature on a night sky is almost invisible, but huge grey bird-horses could be much easier spotted, even in the night.

[@jasoncolvin8390]

They left the thestrals in the alley when the gang entered the ministry, so muggles probably would not notice 6 invisible creatures. But would definitely notice 6 very visible and easy to anger hippogriffs. Also it says that the thestrals are incredibly fast. Making the journey to London in something like an hour. Note that Hogwarts is probably at least 300 miles away. Hippogriffs are not nearly as fast

[@fizzii5072]

Hagrid: This is my cowardly scared dog- Im gonna name him Fang. Also Hagrid: This is my badass killer dog- Im gonna name him Fluffy. *hagrid why*

[@myriamrodriguez4169]

I read this headcannon, it said that Harry bought Hagrid a wand (which wouldn’t be legal but okay) and Hagrid’s patronus, after learning the spell, was Hedwig and it made me cry because it was so sweet

Shit....i agree. Wish i would have read further before posting mine.

[@alternateendingsandedits6854]

[@eyebrow5915]

Yes but I like J's explanation better

[@bettygermai3067]

Hmm maybe a fox , very sneaky

[@krystofdayne]

It would obviously be a slug, that greasy slimeball

[@dreliamdoggolordeternal9589]

I am of the opinion that since the memory he draws on to cast his patronus is meeting lily or something involving lily, it was always a doe. There is a decision to be had as to whether you patronus can have a form before you are able to cast it though, it seems to me that the point of this discussion is moot as it would be impossible to tell with 100% certainty what the form would be without casting it. I wonder if the memory you draw in plays a role in the form of your patronus, surely tonk's changed because the memory she draws on changed from whatever it was before to something involving lupin, possibly their wedding. And Harry's memory is of his parents thus the stag

[@jeremyrigdon7875]

I would like to believe it was originally a Crup. Idk why :/

[@annepixiebettinger3593]

6:48 I actually remember that is said his patronus was "the size of a giant" aka Giant sized, not a giant itself.

[@WinterPains]

5:32 There's a very easy to figure out reason: The hippogriffs are much, MUCH, more temperamental than the thestrals, and there's no way to be sure that they would've let all of them ride on their backs all the way to the MoM.

[@berrybuena]

Plus the kids did not know where the ministry was and the thestrals have an amazing sense of direction. Also they do not know where hagrid keeps the hippogriffs since they were always brought to class and we never run into them in all our forays into the forest with the trio, but the thestrals came to them drawn by the scent of blood.. Convenient plot device but whatever.

[@maddie9602]

Wait, I just realized ... Hagrid loves large, scary-looking, misunderstood creatures because he himself is large, scary-looking, and misunderstood.

[@jessicawalker7203]

My heart doin a heckin 💔 over fictional characters

[@yawish4476]

The reason why Harry and company used thestrals instead of hippogriffs (lol how do we even write that) was bc the thestrals came to them because Harry and Hermione smelled of blood. Also because Luna kept insisting on using thestrals and bc thestrals know where to go if you just tell them. Like, the trio, Neville, Luna and Ginny had no idea where the ministry of magic was and if they decided to use thestrals they would just need to tell the thestral where to go and they're off. I mean, maybe hippogriffs would know where to go but it would've been too complicated to look for them and then bow down, hope they accept you, etc when the thestrals were right there. Remember, Harry was in a rush to save Sirius. Edit: sorry if that was long

[@karmanyaahm]

Exactly.

[@Huorfern]

In addition i think i remember reading that Thestrals are even way faster than most brooms and hippogriffs

[@dlolive9990]

I think it’s stated in the book that thestrals are able to locate exactly where you need to go None of them really knew how to get to London and so the thestrals were the better option been awhile since I reread the books and don’t know which page but I believe it was stated during Hagrids first lesson back in book 5

[@windhelmguard5295]

i'm thinking Japanese giant hornet. think about it: it is a venomous, armoured, flying creature with an attitude that smells, which is right up swagrids alley, it has giant in the name, thus hinting at hagrids "secret" nature without it needing to be an actual giant and it is a creature really only swagrid could find any redeeming values in.

[@lafriesen2237]

Hagrid said he couldn't spell it. That doesn't essentially mean he's bad at spelling. I always thought he was too afraid to write it down. Right?

[@thathsaraamarasinghe6774]

Its spelled exactly the same as it sounds... Vol-duh-mort

[@hecatoncheires9276]

@@thathsaraamarasinghe6774 theres a big debate on wether its vol de mort, or vol de more the reason why people say the latter is because its french and means flight from death

[@TheChamberOfRandomThings]

Yes I also always thought that he was afraid to spell it I mean sure he was was not able to learn magic after the second year but surely he knew how to spell the name Voldemort, right?

[@Messed-up-logic]

You guys should make a video of all the patronises we know so far and the explanation of why they are what they are if ever explained or even theorized the ones without an explanation.

Ruthie V I second that

[@sirtetris]

that vid would probably over 4 hours long EDIT: Days, now that I think about it

[@jovanbergh33]

I was thinking the same. Especially since Hagrid raised him from an egg, quite possibly his first pet. He entroduce him to his wife and tried helping him through his sickness before burying him. Also, Hagrid's seemed to be kind of an outsider in the realm of Hogwarts and misunderstood. With his height, he may even seem intimidating. Seems like he could relate very much to a spider.

[@jnmsks6052]

If it would be an acromantula, I'm glad he can't cast a patronus. 😱 I'm voting dragon for Hagrid. After Aragog's death, he said the others were acting pretty nasty. I don't think he has the same love for all acromantula(s?) as he does for literally every dragon he's ever seen.

[@rawanthebookworm1536]

Jn Msks maybe it would've been an aromantula up until Aragog died but after that Hagrid's love of acromantulas faded and his patronus changed to a dragon

[@86upsmaya]

he still loved acromantulas. at the Battle of Hogwarts when they penetrated the castle, he jumped in and shouted "dont hurt them" even forgetting that there was a battle going on.

[@acecashman1237]

Jn Msks ehh, he probably just saw it as grief, which I imagine was actually the case since they all lost their father

[@CroakPad]

If Fluffy was sent "back to Greece" does that mean that Fluffy is actually Cerberus, the guardian of the Underworld?

[@Inkyminkyzizwoz]

There is a meme somewhere on the Internet combining a picture of Hagrid with a scene from Disney's Hercules when Hagrid says that he got Fluffy from a Greek wizard

[@SpyrosKoronis]

Maybe Cerberus has had babies since antiquity.

[@heavystepthewarrior]

CroakPad I think it's more like Cerberus are native to Greece and had myths based on them

[@DarkValorWolf]

considering Kerberos means "spotted" and "spot" one of the most common cute-dog names, it's not too far fetched that the hound of hades, guardian of the underworld would be called fluffy. however Kerberos is usually depicted as being part snake, usually having snakes coming from his back, being his tail, or being his manes/more heads (tho he has also been depicted/described as having 50/100/2/1 head(s) a venomous mouth, three tongues/backs/bodies/tails...) so there's no way to be certain.

[@Kyle-my5il]

So since Thestrals can only be seen by those who've witnessed death, does that mean most people can't see them in Patronus form? What about someone who's Patronus is a Thestral (ie Ben), but hasn't seen death- would they go through life thinking that they don't have a Patronus?

[@christianali5431]

Kyle Fecher you can see what they do. That should count for something.

[@lucylume]

I doubt it, it's not an ACTUAL thestral, just a representation.

[@Vekcrazah]

Lucy Cairns meaning, in theory, people who havent witnessed death are able to perceive how thestrals look?

[@lucylume]

DracoSerpentisCruor Yes. Like a shadow, they'd see the representation but not the real article.

[@itsjuliheart]

I don't think someone who hasn't witnessed death would have a Thestral as a Patronus. But in regards to other people seeing their Patronus, I think they'd see some sort of shapeless light or shadow where the Thestral Patronus would be.

[@strangeunidude]

Thestrals sense of direction was probably the reason they chose them over the hippogriffs. Being able to tell the thestral where they wanted to go would have been easier than trying to direct the hippogriffs to London

When J said that Fluffy was (loosely paraphrasing) a giant dog of the underworld, and then that he was sent 'back' to Greece, it made me think. Three-headed dog. Greece. "Dog of the underworld." What if Fluffy is Cerberus? Or one of Cerberus's relatives? It would make sense.

[@morgancasey3223]

That's what he's supposed to represent, I don't know if he is actually Cerberus but it's possible. Especially looking from a literature enthusiast's standpoint (aka me) any time you see a trap door, or a tunnel going down, or anything like that, you should immediately think UNDERWORLD

[@almanor247]

U, Me, and Katie B I do not believe that Greek mythology - or, for that matter, any mythology - exists in the Wizarding World. In "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" (book), some beasts included in it were the Chimaera and the Hippocampus, two well-known mythological Greek beasts, with no however mention of Poseidon, the God of the Sea and Horses, or Echidna, the Mother of Monsters, or Typhon, the Father of Monsters. Though, I do believe that certain Greek Heroes exist, like Bellerophon, the Hero who slayed the Chimaera on a Pegasus, as it talks about the only known instance of a Chimaera being killed was when a wizard killed it while on a Winged Horse. This goes to show that the Greek Heroes might actually have been wizards. Though, if the Greek Gods, or any Gods/Godesses in the Wizarding World are real, for that matter, I do not know,

[@NikoTheBug]

Harry should feel lucky that Fluffy is one of the relatives of Cerberus, and not one of Ammits cousins (Ammit eats your soul)

[@joshuacollins385]

Despite very few opportunities to practice, Hagrid seems pretty good at magic. We never see him mess up a spell or need a second try, so I don't know why JK says he wouldn't be able to cast a patronus, especially since Harry seems to teach every member of the DA how to. Is she saying that no matter how much he practiced, no matter how much Harry taught him, he'd just never be able to? That seems unlikely.

[@donutwarry2679]

I love how you answered that question about fluffy that already upset me the second you mentioned it. I would have never found that tweet.

[@nyntje3478]

A thestral as a patronus. Interesting. Does that mean that if you haven't seen someone die in front of your eyes, that you can't see your own patronus? How will you know if you cast the spell?

[@NothingIsWrongToday]

Nyntje 347 a patronus is a projection, not the actual thing. So I think you would see it. And probably freak out if you don't know what it is.

[@kirarose9065]

you made my brain hurt

[@redpotter4074]

If the dementors fled you would know it worked, also I don’t think anyone who hasn’t witnessed death would have a thestral as a patronus because the usually are animals based on your personality or memories, not just some random animal

My patronus is a west highland terrier. It’s almost a fox terrier, isn’t it? J, I defy you to cast your patronus when I cast mine!

[@thewesternisles3970]

Hagrid 's Patronus is an owl. He gave Hedwig to Harry. An owl symbolizes wisdom and Hagrid is wise and Kind. Also Hedwig was white like a Patronus. In a way, this gift was a way of symbolizing his friendship to Harry and that he will always be there to help him and be a friend - Like an Owl. A Patronus is used to guard/ guide those who need help, so by giving Harry a white Owl, Hagrid is symbolically giving his patronus to harry, to guide him in times of hardship. Like Snape did with his Patronus, Hagrid is doing the same - only Hagrid cant't do the complicated spell so he does this by using a real life owl, and the love of a real animal to be a friend to Harry. Hedwig is a symbol of Hagrid's Patronus. It's quite poetic. Owls are also whimsical and wizard-like but deep down are very wise. Normally an owl would be the most respected figure of the forest, and greatly esteemed like a teacher and doctor- and Hagrid is like a healer too. Hagrid is very much an outsider to the human world and he doesn't really have a place in society. But he belongs to the animal world and is respected by the forest creatures. He is like the owl of the forest. He is not a spider, he does not creep about, or spin webs or follow trails like spiders do. Also he seems quite lonely, so why would his Patronus take the form of something so scary like a spider? He does not want to scare people away, he wants to invite them in for tea like an owl would do. He is the least spidery person. spiders are scary - He is not scary. He is an Owl. The white Owl he gives Harry, is a genius way of communicating this.

[@zacharydassumpcao3041]

My favorite animal has been a Lynx for ages and when I did the Pottermore partonis test, it was a Lynx! That held me away and now I'm sure that the creators of that test put a lot of work into it.

[@Lazarenko93]

Seems to happen time to time. My girlfriend works with horses and her whole life is based around horses. And you guessed it. She got a horse patronus. One of the most fun moments ive had! Her face was like ; "No way..." Mine's a Leopardes. Would have loved a otter but hey Leopards are beautiful.

[@alexbucur1552]

ya well, my favourite animal is a Raven and/or Crow, I would have been quite happy with any other bird though too (I owned parrots once, really like birds). however, pottermore gave me a horse instead... I don't like horses... the closest Connection to horses for me would be that I'd like to get myself a Harley Davidson one day, but riding a bike isn't exactly like riding a horse, you know. thx pottermore...

[@sandrab3842]

Lucky! I’ve got an obsession with cats but I got a snake on pottermore so... Yeah

[@fabiennehurkens]

Alex Bucur I read that the horses are a rather common patronus to get, as they are rather common amongst the wizarding world. None is supposedly exactly the same, but the family of the horses rely to human beings a lot. So it would seem that the first law about patronusses seems to be in play here; there is something about your personality and that of horses that work well together and may only come up when needed

[@rebeccaliebregts]

I got a st bernard... I don't like big dogs (a bit more if they're fluffy though).

[@timothysexton2086]

I'm a ravenclaw my patronus is a crow and my wand is Black walnut wood with a unicorn hair core, 14 ½" and unyielding flexibility

[@geekyjenowen3673]

Am I the only one who has seen all these videos before and still binge-watching them again

[@Thegoldenbucket100]

If I could choose Hagrid's patronus I would say a type of dog, possibly something like a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Staffys are known for being wonderful family animals and for their loyalty and energy. This description does kind of fit Hagrid, even though I do agree with this video.

[@_gremlinboy]

In dog terms I see him as a great pyrenees for sure, huge and soft and cuddly (and kind of a big baby, in the best way)

[@rawdaaljawhary4174]

Yes, I agree! He is a fiercely loyal friend. Remember when the wizards set his house on fire while Fang was in there? Or how he became when anyone insulted Dumbledore? He is only angry in defense of others and what's right. I think a Staffy makes a great patronus for Hagrid.

[@krookedhalo19]

I think Hagrid's "awakened secret self" has nothing to do with the fact that he's half giant. Yes he was upset when that "secret" was brought to light, but I still feel like he's mostly accepting of his genetics. What he's not completely ok with is the fact that he's not a "certified" wizard. He keeps the fact that his broken wand is still always on his person and somehow able to perform at least simple magic a very big secret. And no one seems to notice that he can perform those spells silently. He's a wizard who's not allowed to be a wizard. So I think his awakened secret self would have more to do with being a full fledged, fully trained and accepted magic user than who his mother was.

[@ginnyjollykidd]

This is why I think after the end of the series when Kingsley Shacklebolt is made Minister of Magic, Hagrid is allowed to finish his education taking any of the classes he wants and is allowed to have a wand.

[@_gremlinboy]

Highkey choked on my spit when he called me out for my threstral patronus, that's so oddly specific- my FBI agent is a time traveler for sure

[@seanyboyc86]

At any time like 2:00 the neck of the guitar on the right looks like The eye of Sauon with that purple eye over it!

[@TashoniShantomeye]

Honestly, as soon as I saw the title of the video I thought to myself "It's gonna be Aragog, duh..." I like your logic and reasoning, and not a waste of time... Just because Hagrid cannot produce the corporeal form doesn't mean it's spirit doesn't dwell inside him.

[@cleooooooooo]

I was thinking Buckbeak early on - but once he ruled him out, I paused the video and thought of Aragog. Mildly proud of myself xD

[@daviddiaz2973]

I must guys, I totally love your theories, it's filling many gaps I didn't even aknowledge having. I totally agree Aragog or an acromantula would be Hagrid's corporeal Patronus. It makes perfect sense. Btw, my Patronus is also a Fox Terrier. Wiiiiiiiiiiii

[@spencerthefrankenstein8291]

Hagrid love all creatures and can take care of them, so what creature say to take care of other creatures?

[@akirachaossuta]

Can you do a video on what would Draco’s Potronus and Boggart would be?

[@jaredfletcher76]

Akira Chaos Suta Dracos patronus is a Ferret

[@sweep_swoop]

His boggart would likely have been his father dead. Cursed Child probably Scorpius dead or Astoria dead

[@NikoTheBug]

I think Draco's boggart is Lord Voldemort

I'm also a Slytherin with a Terrier patronus, though mines a West highland terrier not a fox terrier, but still now I'm really curious on how similar our wands are...

[@Jan_Koopman]

To me, it seems legit that his patronus would be that giant spider creature. It would be badass, too!

[@torin1006]

The achromantula was an amazing twist that I did not see coming and it's definitely the one for Hagrid.

[@scombs6543]

Is it just me or does dead Arragog look much smaller that Arragog from The Chamber of Secrets? Just meh? Cause that really bothers me.

[@TheKing-mm4me]

Skylar Combs it does

[@SpoodleyDoodles]

I think Aragog's size in Chamber of Secrets was due to his legs being spread out, where as they're curled up after his death. Not to mention, he probably looked bigger compared to smol Harry and Ron as opposed to older Harry.

[@waytodusk9610]

Skylar Combs Arragog grows you know

[@lorelei_lee]

I’m always thinking the same when seeing this scene and it bothers me too! But maybe he’s all dried out and shrunk ... which wouldn't be logical either, because dead spiders don’t shrink, but then he’s an Acromantula. They might be different ... Trying very hard to find an explanation here ... 😄

[@GODOFAWSOMENESS1]

Lorelei Lee prop money and time. Plus they probably didn’t think we would notice but we do we always notice.

[@ferredehoog6582]

mine is a fox, and my wand is Hawthorn wood with a unicorn hair core, 14 ½" and hard flexibility and house is ravenclaw

[@NyoomMonster]

I still feel like a dragon would be a prime candidate and I have thought this ever since I saw the thumbnail for the video.

[@Castor586]

Kraken... Hagrid's patronus is a kraken. "Greatly misunderstood beasts, krakens" (I bet you read that with Hagrid's voice) Just kidding lol I was actually guessing that an acromantula would be the best choice for Hagrid, and then you brought it up! Day made

[@hleebeg]

I think Jo is grossly underestimating Hagrid. I agree he couldn't produce a patronus but only because he hasn't been taught how. The magic he performs with a broken wand at least proves he was talented. I think it would have been Arogog also or perhaps something to do with Dumbledore.

[@maccurran7612]

lilyrose mitchell she wrote him you muppet

[@emersonandrews7308]

Thank you, seriously. Like the fact Hagrid can get a wand that was snapped in pieces to even do what he wants shows he has amazing latent ability. If he was allowed to complete his training he'd be a powerhouse. Nothing pisses me off more than the misspelled birthday cake in the first film - he can't spell Voldemort, which I doubt a lot of people would be able to if they only ever heard the name and not seen it written down a bunch of times like we all did. In the books Hagrid's letters to Harry are always spelled correctly. The movies make him out to be the oaf people like the Malfoys say he is. Also took issue with Jay not mentioning Hagrid was framed. That's why he lost his education, not because of something he did, but what Riddle did. It was admirable of him to protect Aragog, and that doesn't make his expulsion remotely his fault.

[@hleebeg]

Mac Curran I know she wrote him haha but the way she talks about the characters- and has stated many times- is that they kind of existed on their own in her head and she just wrote it down. She created him but isn't him if that makes any sense? Probably not haha but yea all fiction really so I guess every theory is valid. She even talks about how Dumbledore was a voice that came from the back of her head and that he helped her a lot. :) But I also totally get what you're saying and I like that you said it without being super rude haha :)

[@hleebeg]

Emerson Andrews yes, it always breaks my heart that we don't really get to see what he could have been had he been given the opportunity. So much potential and his chance just taken away from him and he doesn't even begrudge Voldemort his education.

[@JakeTurbine]

I can actually imagine several others wanting the stone but not to use it just to protect it, so I can see why there were extra layers of protection. The mirror trick was a last resort in case someone actually evil was trying to get to it, but that doesn't mean you just want anyone walking up to the mirror.

SHANE DAWSON NEEDS TO MAKE A CONSPIRACY THEORY VIDEO ON THIS

[@CaptainSveid]

Before watching the video I would guess Hagrids patronus would be a dragon or a spider. Dragon seem like it couldn't be an option because patronuses are usually more "simple creatures". So I guess my money is on spider. Aragog was a pretty big deal for Hagrid after all. Btw, I just made a video sinning the cinemasins eww HP and the Goblet of fire (and all the previous ones). give them a look if interested :)

[@rebeccaserti5990]

Captain Sveid my patronus is a dragon 😂⚡️

[@NothingIsWrongToday]

Actually Dragons can Become patronuses~ I think it is explained in the pottermore page

[@ilovenycsomuch]

[@ardenvalentine7963]

My patronus has always been an owl :) Specifically a "Little Brown Owl".

[@SilverAngelG]

Could you plz do a video where you make a theory where you try to determine why Harry couldn't see the Thestral after he saw professor Quirrell AND his mom die. Thanks, I am a big fan.

[@stephanienguyen3078]

Just thought about this and I don't think Harry actually saw Quirrel die. I'm pretty sure he passed out and then Dumbledore came to save him so he didn't actually see it happen. Harry wakes up in the hospital wing and warns dumbledore about quirrel and the dumbledore has to tell him that he died. With his mom this may be sort of a technicality but even though he was in the room we don't know for sure that he saw her actually die. I think when they talk about this they just say Harry remembers seeing a flash of green light. Cedric is the first person he actually sees die.

[@TheBodyOnPC]

He has to understand the death he witnessed. He didnt understand his mothers death at all and he didnt truly witness the death of Quirrel. With Cedric he first understood it for real after he had been a summer at the Dursley's. That is why he didnt see the thestrals when going home from Hogwarts.

[@ellu...]

And I think I read somewhere that Rowling has said that he didn't see them in the end of goblet of fire when they went back to the train because it would be stupid to put a new mystery in the very end of a book that you could only explain in the next one.

[@fingolfin7001]

I want to know why Harry doesn't see the thestrals when going back at the end of goblet, but does see them at the beginning of order.

[@TheBodyOnPC]

fingolfin7001 It's because Harry had not yet fully understood what had happened.

My guess (before things are said) is an Acramantula (like Aragog) (oof spelling)

[@margueritemauceri5787]

At the beginning of the video, I definitely thought Hagrid would have a mother grizzly bear patronus. He is very loving, and if you mess with the people he cares for, he's gonna defend them. But I definately agree with J's theory!

[@thepotatoproductions6331]

Says "massive and monstrous creatures" while showing a newly hatched infant Dragon less than two feet long

[@BoKnowsDiddly]

Totally agree that his Patronus would be an acromantula! That was my first thought when I started the watching the video. I thought of a dragon of some sort next but decided that the acromantula was more likely.
