Please explain. I'm not Polish... Maybe a descendant, but that's it! =/

[@M.athematech]

My assumption was always that Jacob is a Polish Catholic. Queenie and Tina are the ones with obviously Jewish surnames. Both Catholic and Jewish culture have strong taboos against marrying out of the faith, so the taboo depicted in the story of Queenie not being able to be involved with Jacob because she was a witch and he was a muggle, reflects to some extent the historical taboos experienced by Catholic and Jewish immigrants to New York in the early 20th century.

[@tauseeqhaider650]

Maybe, but JK normally aint that smart

[@rose8765]

Mathematech I agree - Tina and Queenie are the obviously Jewish ones. While Jacob is a pretty Jewish name, Kowalski is just really Polish. There’s usually some overlap in Polish and Jewish surnames, but I think Jacob is just Polish (since he is literally from Poland). In addition, the name Zacharias comes from the New Testament, so it’s definitely not a Jewish name. Hephzibah is a Hebrew name, so maybe the Hufflepuff line is Jewish, but even so, that doesn’t give much of a connection to Jacob or Zacharias. Although fun fact, the actors who play Credence and Jacob are both Jewish!!

[@christopherhuang9501]

Jacob isn't really all that Jewish for a Polish immigrant: it's really just Polish/German for "James". As for Zacharias and Hephzibah, there seems to have been a fashion at one point (among the Puritans, I think, though I could be wrong) to pick names out of the Bible, so the Smiths could be a very staunchly non-conformist Christian family. But I wouldn't say that Zacharias is "New Testament": it's also spelled "Zechariah", and that's an Old Testament book.

[@DdalgiNanaBeauty]

Well, my family is from Poland, they were Jewish. They moved to other country and married Catholics. My father's family biggest taboo used to be to talk about religion. They always fighted when someone mentioned it. So I guess it wasn't really a rule. We had also Protestant marrying Catholic, they just converted so they could marry and then everyone went to its own church lol It was normal to convert because of marriage or divorce in EU.

[@ms-ht1cj]

@@rose8765 Jacob (or "Jakub" in Polish) may be of Jewish origin, but it's not important anymore. This name is (and was) quite popular in Poland. Nobody thinks of it as Jewish. It's just ordinary name with no meaning to it. 🤷

[@blubbblubbbrushdy9282]

Two words. Quentin Kowalski. Quidditch player in the World cup of 2014 for America. Meaning as this name no way is a coincidence, Jacob had definitely a wizard grandson, whether this is a hint that he and Queenie(sounds like a female version of Quentin anyone?) end up having children together, which I'd totally be up for, or whether it is another hint on your theory here I can't tell, but both seem good enough.

[@dankit2548]

spacegoat I'd never noticed that but you're absolutely correct.

[@PaigeTuckeyVA]

I think the house mascots are supposed to symbolize the houses themselves, not the names. The lion is Gryffindor because lions are brave, the snake is Slytherin because they are cunning, the eagle is Ravenclaw because eagels are intelligent, and the badgers are Hufflepuff because they are caring and sweet until you piss them off. Edit: Bears are also caring and loyal until you screw with them or their family. Edit num2: I really gotta stop commenting before finishing the video.

[@camdendaley1015]

Regine Flange but ravens are also very smart...

[@Stargazer_Ley]

itzyeboi_camdaman ._. While ravens are smart, they are often considered to be omens of death which I believe is the initial reason for not using a raven. As for the eagle, I've done some digging and found that in Norse mythology eagles are often connected with wisdom. Odin himself turns into an eagle to liberate the sacred mead from a giant. This mead is often connected with scholars and poets.

[@cloudcat0120]

itzyeboi_camdaman ._. I ones had a very symbolic explanation for this. Eagles mostly have an own area there they hunt and most curious people have a specific interest in science, art or something else. I think this COULD be a reason for the eagle. Ravens kinda seem more Slytherin to me too.

[@cawareyoudoin7379]

Compared to ravens, and corvids in general, eagles are pretty stupid. They are good hunters, but stupid. And I haven't seen any evidence whatsoever that snakes are cunning. Also, have you seen that video of lions being scared by a ferret? Ironically, badger is the animal that fits the most.

[@cloudcat0120]

CawAreYouDoin? It's about the symbolism, not how those animals are in nature.

[@samuelosborn2548]

I would like to point something that makes a bit of a connection. Since House Hufflepuff are great at food charms. If you noticed at the end of Fantastic Beasts when J.K. (jacob kowalski) all of his pastries looked very good in comparison to his pastries earlier in the film. Almost as If he was actually a wizard and made these pastries which looked like the fantastic beasts he encountered before his memories were supposedly wiped. To have that recollection after a memory charm was cast on him, makes me think its less of a coincidence. It would further my hypothesis that he is indeed tied to the wizarding world and that he may in fact be a wizard. He just doesn't know it. Not the first to happen in the Harry Potter franchise.

[@martabachynsky8545]

I think he's the grandson, or great-grandson of a squib, so he has some magic blood in him. Squibs are pretty much shunned in the wizarding world, so his father or mother (or whoever the magic blood comes from) might not have known about magic. :shrug: Just my opinion.

[@crzy4icecrm315]

The memory recollection is actually part of another theory where the swooping evil’s venom is supposed to erase bad memories, but throughout the entire movie we see that Jacob didn’t make very bad memories. Therefore not a lot of his memories were wiped because he made more good memories than bad ones

[@sarthakraghav7591]

Not a wizard If he would have been ge would get his letter from Ilvermony Hogwarts was behind Dursley's life to send harry to hogwarts You may say he was HARRY POTTER but still Jacob would get the letter to Ilvermony

[@Karin_Allen]

IMO, his resistance to the memory wipe is the first and by far the most compelling evidence that he has magical ancestry. I was surprised it wasn't mentioned in the video. That being said, if he is a descendant of one of Hogwarts' founders, Hufflepuff is the obvious choice.

[@sleepingrose3116]

Hogwarts only watched the Dursleys because they sent Harry there and because of the knowledge that he survived the killing Curse. He needed to be watched because Voldy was still out there. That baby needed protection. Jacob However could have a Squib as his ancestor, of course they were brushed aside and ignored because of their lack of magical ability. if that Squib married a Muggle/No Maj, they have the very strong likelihood of having Non magic children...well having children that have no active magic and as a result fly under the radar of the schools. This could mean he is a Squib and unable to use magic therefore ignored by magic schools.

[@seapony3101]

Raven in Ravenclaw isn’t meaning the bird raven it means the color raven aka black so black claws and eagles have black claws or talons and are the symbols of wisdom so that is actually why it’s an eagle not a raven

[@frostyskeletons8950]

Yeah but like Ravens are way cooler than Eagles. Checkmate.

If Jacob can see magical creatures and magic in general he has to be a squib, like Filtch and Mrs. Figg. So he must have some magical ancestors.

[@m.ivyluna4632]

Pup314 huh Maybe hes like the child of two squibs living in the muggle world?

[@Shaden0040]

My thoughts exactly. That is probably how Hermione got her magic from muggles/squibs in her ancestry. Even Aunt Petunia must have had some ability to see magical creatures as she saw how Lily made the flower bloom.

[@tatianacabrera1358]

Pup314. I was thinking the same thing

[@laradingels4527]

It doesnt matter that Jacob sees magic, everybody can even "pure" muggels. As for the magical creatures, they can be seen by everybody too, expect for some special creatures like dementors ( only wizards / sqiubs) or thestrals ( only those who saw death)

[@MerkhVision]

Uhh Pup314, thats not how it works... Lara Dingels has got it right

[@joaocisne556]

also, one of the Players of the USA Quidditch team is called Quentin Kowalski, could he be Related of Jacob and Queenie?

Kowalski is super popular Polish surname, so there were probably many immigrants with the same name, but not necessary related. I wouldn't look too deep into that one.

[@bobastu]

I've seen people comment about how the etymology of the name Kowalski reveals it translates as blacksmith and not just smith. Well, this is not entirely true. Kowalski is derived not from a Polish surname, but is of Slavic origin. Multiple cultures have settled and influenced the region, but the surname was originally kováč in Slovak. This literally translate to Kowal in Polish, and then Smith in English. The earliest individuals who worked as smiths, became known as blacksmiths as time passed due to their appearance (sooty) and working environment. So, Mr. Carlin, you are correct in that the name translates as Smith, not Blacksmith. Smith and Kowalski are common names, so a blood relation between Kowalski and the Smith family is possible. Given the other evidence, the surname similarity is more than coincidence. Good job on your theory.

[@jeffreyshreve1277]

You will also have to remember that there is also Goldsmiths, Silversmiths, Coppersmiths, and Whitesmiths meaning those who work with white metal.

[@melissaw4572]

he could be a squib or the descendant of one. so it is possible and would make some sense in his acceptance of magic.

[@jmrggrmj9330]

To be honest, this would be pretty cool, I usually stir away from fan theories but this one I really like and as you say gives the character a deeper and better connection.

[@saurabhbanik7811]

Hapzibah Smith and Jacob Kowalski, just look at the names , I don't think these very similar names are a coincidence. Smith is the most common English surname and Kowalski is the most common polish surname, both meaning Smith or blacksmith. Both Jacob and Hapzibah are characters from Bible. I know this isn't much but IMO the similarity is more than just mere coincidence.

JC30 it is actually known why he’s on the Map. Newt went to visit dumbledor to talk about his book, to make it also available for muggles. That’s why he were on the Map

[@jennytemiz1082]

I saw a crazy theory about it, and i don't think it's true, but it's actually interesting. It's about Newt, being an animagi, and his form is a hippogriff. The theory even states that he's Buckbeak, and he's in Hogwarts in the third book to ask Dumbledore's opinion about his idea, spending his remaining years away from people in Hogwarts, as a hippogriff. Partly that's why it's so imporant to save him, but it's unclear why didn't he just transform into human again when they tried to execute him. So this theory doesn't really fit.

Great video! I'm so excited for the remaining movies! Thank you for giving us more Harry Potter World content in these long periods between the movies! On another note: I've been listening to Prisoner of Azkaban. I noticed for the first time that in chapter 15, JKR actually tell us how many students attend Hogwarts. It says: "Three quarters of the crowd was wearing scarlett rosettes, waving scarlett flags..." And then: "Behind the Slitherin goal posts, however, 200 people were wearing green, the silver serpent of Slitherin glittered on theur flags" Thus, it should be about 800-1000 people (if we take into account that not everyone watches quidditch? I know they say countless times that "the whole school attended" or something, but idk?) Any thoughts?

@@xyforever1546 Origins of family names have many different sources. Variations on the name "Smith" generally mean that at some point in the family's history there was a prominent tradesman. That's all that smith really means, tradesman. Black for iron/steel workers because of the carbon dust left over. Gold, silver, and whatever other precious metals which also vary by region. Cooper for barrel makers. It's more slang than anything else, but even some writers are called wordsmiths. There may be a language out there that has a smith variant for baker, but in English would you care to take a wild guess where the family name Baker came from? It's not Kowalski, but it's still the name of a smith.
