[@Fubarius42]

While watching your videos covering a variety of ancient artifacts (Moody's eye, the mirror, the vase, the wand, the cloak, sorcerer's stone, the DH stone, etc.) a question hit me...why have contemporary wizards become weaker than their ancestors? We are constantly told about ancient wizards who created incredible magical artifacts or did amazing things, but our own generation's greatest wizard (Dumbledore) can only create a thing that puts out lights. Even in this video, you mention how you don't believe Voldemort could create something comparable to the Deathly Hallows. And this problem seems to be a more recent problem too, because as we see in Fantastic Beasts, Queenie is a natural Legilimens, but a generation later that ability is seemingly dying off, so even a powerful wizard like Volde has to use a spell to do it, and even then he only gets flashes of thought, instead of Queenie's apparent ability to read a person's mind. Could Grindelwald and Voldemort be right? Is the mixing between muggles and wizards diluting magical abilities? Or maybe two generations of war which cost the lives of countless skillful wizards has drastically hurt the wizarding gene pool. Or could it be simply that the modern school system is too focused on test scores, and not enough on actual education. Hogwarts was created by the four founders to pass on their knowledge, but (as we are shown) the founders each created a powerful magical artifact but then did not teach their students how they were made. Even Rowena Ravenclaw who places an emphasis on knowledge (and who cheats by the way...) refuses to pass on the knowledge of her diadem. So I would like to see if the Carlin Brothers could work out this idea, why is magic dying throughout the Wizarding World?

[@Zahlenteufel1]

My guess is that in ye olden days there was just a lot less control over magic. Like, think before the ministery of magic put in place all the "no minor wizardry" and stuff it was all possible, basically the wild west of magic. To create such powerful artifacts would surely require massive amounts of magic and/or sacrifices (like human sacrifices). Now when you're the only wizard in a couple hundred miles range (the world population is smaller the farther you go back, therefore, the wizard population as well) you're free to fail as hard as you like and sacrifice as many villages as you like but if there is a ministry monitoring all and every magical fart then it would be a lot harder. If you fail hard enough you go to Azkaban and if you succeed but get caught, the object gets confiscated because "too dangerous" and you go to Azkaban. So I think the main problem is limiting bureaucracy combined with larger population both in wizards and muggles and in the advancement of muggles (as in they pose a threat now and need to be hidden from). To the question of diluting magical abilities: We'd need to know where magic comes from. If all wizards have a universal common ancestor that had a gene that made him able to use magic then it is possible that "dilution" occurs (if the magic gene is non-dominant) but in the sense that fewer people are wizards and not that wizards are weaker. If some god once gave the power of magic to some guy and made some arbitrary rules for how it is given to his offspring then anything possible. If magic is some power that exists everywhere but is finite it would also be possible that as there are more wizards there is less magic for everyone or if magic is a non-renewable resource maybe it's simply being used up. It would definitely be interesting to see what these guys can come up with as I am a filthy casual on the topic.

[@harpereverett3300]

Damn muggles

[@leliofirefly]

Yeah they even mention ancient magic and its easy to see its much stronger than what exists in there time now . The Mirror was one example they know is ancient magic .

[@Navajonkee]

I think the problem lies in the fact that you're comparing one, or two generations of modern wizards to hundreds to thousands of years worth of ancient wizards. I don't think ancient wizards were all that more powerful, it's just that in the span of multiple millennia there ought to be a handful of extremely powerful wizards. I think the average Joe weren't really more capable than their modern counterparts.

[@leliofirefly]

MrLumie I am going by the artifacts that still exist and are so strong they can't be remade . I think there was a closer connection back then .

[@JubileeReese]

Harry was still stuck on the train as it “jerked” into motion on its way back to London. The movement caused him to roll over and become partially exposed. Tonks noticed he hadn’t gotten off the train and went looking for him on the train. She stoped at the compartment with the blinds (Draco had closed) because it looked suspicious. That’s how it happened. It wasn’t small beasts flying around his head that only Luna could see...

Thought I'd add one more piece of evidence tying Harry Potter to Greek mythology. Professor Trelawny is a known descendant of Cassandra, the princess of the city Troy from Greek history. She was cursed with mumbling prophecies that no one ever believed. This is the same curse that is on Sybill. Greek gods exist in the same universe as Harry Potter, and by extension, Fantastic Beasts.

[@kyrasyme4692]

If blood lines are connected, why not a powerful artifact.

[@GoeTeeks]

Hm, this post gave me a thought. What if, when the statute of secrecy was enacted, wizards did a sort of memory charm to history? So that all magical acts and creatures were remembered as stories, myths, and legends, rather than actual history?

Creatures from Greek mythology are there too. Centaur, anyone?

[@kassandrabruun8130]

Guys her great-great-grandmother's name is Cassandra. Like I checked. On Pottermore. It says she got "the gift from" her.

[@ZenaraX]

I don't think JK makes her character's literally descended from Greek gods, she just took a bunch of inspiration from Ancient magic (they had a full museum exhibit of everything she took inspiration from). It's more likely that Sybill's great-great-Grandmother was simply named after the Greek princess than her actually being an ancient Greek princess. The same way that Sybill's name comes from 'The Sibyls' who are Seers and clairvoyants from ancient history, and also the reason that the hallows are not the actual ancient Greek artefacts, just follow a similar storyline. But it is an interesting theory!

[@HarleyWithWings]

If Dumbledore was in possession of the eye before it was given to Moody, he would have most certainly attempted to dissect the magic that made it so powerful. With that in mind, he seems to have succeeded. I say he succeeded because he seems to have managed to bewitch his halfmoon spectacles in the same manor. It wouldnt be the first time a pair of glasses were bewitched. And now that I think about it... Even muggles know about the idea of X-ray vision, night vision, thermal imaging, etc. I bet you anything Dumbledore took these ideas and gave his glasses those types of abilities.

[@patrickjinks]

I have a theory that piggybacks off this theory: Greek mythology was based on mortals/muggles seeing the Wizarding World. You know how stories of dragons and witches are from seeing actual dragons and witches? How stories of sphinxes and griffins made their way into muggles minds? Wait a second... sphinxes and griffins are from GREEK/ROMAN mythology (romans reskinned greek mythology). Now, we know the the Deathly Hallows are like the three magical objects from Perseus’s stories. Maybe the Greek gods were just really powerful wizards? Maybe even the FIRST wizards? It seems fitting that muggles would worship the Olympian Council, the council of the first, ancient wizards. The first wizards had children, and these are the minor gods (purebloods) and demigods (also known as... guess what... HALF-BLOODS). This would explain how muggles know of the Deathly Hallows: they saw the Deathly Hallows but couldn’t understand what they were (remember how muggles thought sirius’s wand was a gun?) so they thought the Elder Wand was a sword, the Invisibility Cloak was a Helm of Darkness, and the stone was a bad. Ok, the last one doesn’t really fit, but maybe over the years of passing down the story it got twisted. Maybe the three brothers the made the Deathly Hallows were in fact the Big Three, the three most powerful gods who were also brothers, sons of the Titan’s kind Kronos. The muggles named these three brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. Zeus made the Elder Wand/sword, Hades made the Invisibility Cloak/Helm of Darkness, and Poseidon made the stone/bag. The stone/bag might have been hidden from mortals so they wouldn’t try raising the dead. Anyone here read Percy Jackson? You know how Nico (demigod son of Hades) raised the dead? The way thats works sounds an awful lot like the stone... PERCY JACKSON/HARRY POTTER CROSSOVER SERIES CONFIRMED!,!!,!,,!,QQ!1!!1? Tl;dr: greek mythology was muggles seeing wizards and making stories and worshipping the wizards.

I have a theory. Dumbledore once said, the Peverel brothers were extremely gifted wizards and had made the hallows themselves. If we take it to be true, then I am not sure that they were able to create the stone at the very first try. So, what if the eye is actually one of the failed attempts at making the stone? The stone is supposed to let you see the people lurking in the far shore(land of the dead), right? So what if, in one of the attempts, they were able to create a stone that did allow them to see things which were not visible to the human eye? Just imagine that you are one of the Peverel brothers, and the desparately want to make something which will enable you to see those who had died. First you would want to see if there is anything which is not visible to the human eye, right? So what if it is this eye?

So awesome! Couple notes: 1) When Moody says he's just doing a favor for Dumbledore, isn't that really Crouch Jr. talking? and 2) Doesn't Moody have the Marauders' Map? That could have helped him guess that Harry was stuck in the step, because his magic eye would have seen that the step was compressed, even if it couldn't see Harry.

[@ZenaraX]

He didn't have the map yet, he actually found out about the map that night. Harry was hidden under the cloak, waving to get Moody's attention as he was about to give the map to Snape. I was confused by the favour part too! I'm pretty sure it was Crouch Jr. at that point.

Ah, thanks for the clarification, Rachel! :)

I wrote this on my notes last night when I was have asleep. But reading it today did make me think. So in Harry Potter the moving stairs... well... move. And there have been many encounters with the moving stairs. People just hanging out on the stairs finding eggs and finding escaped fat lady’s. So why did they never move when all of this was going on. BUT. They moved in the first book to bring the golden trio to the ONE PLACE where they weren’t supposed to go. Did the stairs know that Harry, Hermione, and Ron were meant to find fluffy the three headed dog? Did the stairs know that they had to wait til they were all together to bring them to the third floor? Did the stairs know that they were the ones to find the philosophers stone and defeated Voldemort’s little face head thing on the back of quirrells head? Idk man kinda cool tho

[@MissZeely]

Bria Skye in the book the stairs aren't the reason they find fluffy, the stairs aren't a major plot point in any of the books, in the books the trio (and Neville) get locked out of Gryffindor Tower at night and they hide in the third floor corridor to avoid being caught by filch and that's how they get caught - however when I first read your comment I got intrigued too before I remembered that was a movie change, would have been cool though 👍🏼😊

[@Dev-lw9ve]

Ok around 7:30 ish he says that one of the most famous eyes and probably the same eye that moody had is the eye of the Graea sisters, but there's another eyefrom mythology that would probably also fit the bill. The eye of Horus, from Egyptian mythology. Basically explorers in ancient Egypt who explored by sea would paint an eye (technically its gold not blue but whatever) on the hull of their boat and bless the painting? I guess? Idk but that eye represented the eye of the Egyptian god Horus, the god of like war and chivalry and fighting and stuff and also the king of the gods im pretty sure. Essentially the purpose of the eye was either to watch out for and warn the boats passenger of demons and monster under the water or to scare away said demons and monsters i forget. But this was also a real physical eye (at least real in myth but so is the eye in the video) in horus' face with all the properties of moody's eye. It could see the mystical and was considered 'all-seeing'. Another classic eye from mythology was the eye(s) of Heimdall. Marvel fans probably dont need me to explain this but for anyone else basically Heimdalls eye was the all-seeing eye to end all all-seeing eyes. It could see through anything, magical or not, and was capable of looking at the entire universe, across all the nine realms of norse myth. And yeah in marvel movies his eyes are orange, and I dont think he ever loses one, but ben also did a theory where thors new eye was one of heimdalls so im allowing some cut corners. Anyway, Heimdalls and Horus' eyes, two of the other famous eyes that i really think would work for this. If I got any of the facts wrong Im sorry I didn't research this just did it from memory so its probably a bit off thank you for coming to my ted talk

[@elvirebesnard9379]

I’ve thought about how this eye was so special, because I find this really interessant. I’ve re-watched some of your videos. One of them (the one about the truth behind the veil in the ministry of magic) spoke about the relation between the Thestrals and the Pevrell brothers. The parallel was just what I needed to understand the connection between this eye and the deathly hallows. I think both Mad-eye Moody and Grindelwald do have a Thestral eye. That would explain why mad eye could see through the invisibility cloak : because they have the same origins. And we can see in the trailer from Fantastic beasts 2 that Grindelwald does have something with Thestrals. Like he just drive them ! (I know that Harry and his friends did the same, but there it’s an entire crew !) I must say that I haven’t watched the movies for a long time and I don’t remember if the Thestrals have eyes ^^that would be bothering... Hope you understand my idea !

So, if the story of the three brothers is correct, then these items were made by a single entity (entitled Death in the story). It would make sense that "Death," after being evaded by the youngest brother, would create an item with the ability to see through the cloak. It would also make sense that only a wizard who created an item would be able to find a way to counteract said items. Therefore, the eye must have been created by whomever Death is. Perhaps someone that the Peverell brothers all had a quarrel with.

[@RomanRodri23]

@Haia Mohamed Asem Elshaer You have to remember it was cast by the Elder Wand, another Deathly Hallow. Maybe that's why the spell worked.

[@vyrtilanyrwen3071]

Rodrigo Romano, right, but I don’t think that Dumbledore owned the Elder Wand. You should check out the video that SCB made, but the gist of it is that Dumbledore beat Grindelwald in a duel to win this wand, but the Elder Wand can never actually lose in a duel, so Grindelwald never had it. It still belonged to the wand maker Gregorovitch. Since Voldemort killed him in the seventh book, he obtained the wand. Then Harry killed Voldemort, which was possible because it was not a formal duel, thereby acquiring the Elder Wand. The point is that I don’t think the Elder Wand had anything to do with Dumbledore seeing Harry, Ron and Hermione, because Dumbledore never truly controlled it. However, there is another theory that I am not opposed to. I don’t know how Rowling responded to it, but quite frankly, I don’t care what she responded with, because she probably just listens to the theories and decides which ones she likes and declares them true. The theory is that Dumbledore is Death. The same person who gave the three brothers the Deathly Hallows. That may explain why he could control the Elder Wand enough to use it to see through the invisibility cloak. However, if Dumbledore is not death, then the theory of the Elder Wand allowing him to see through the cloak just falls apart.

Yeo Ana I don’t think the boggart was able to see Moody, so he might have actually seen the real form..... But then again, how does he know how a boggart looks like? He couldn’t have studied how they look them because no-one else has an eye that can see through stuff like that. He might have known through experience, (seen an odd creature through a closet and then opened it and saw his worst fear, so he knew it’s a boggart the next time he saw it through something.). That’s just what I think 🤔. No idea 💡 if that’s true or not.

Then I thought is the diary enchanted or is it just the effect that the horcrux has on the diary... then I thought well if the latter is true then... is the pensive a peverell horcrux!!! then I thought... whoa are the Hallows all peverell horcruxes!?! is that the magic used by the brothers to make such extremely powerful items and actually fulfill the story of the three brothers by making them immortal and therefore first, "masters of death" in their eyes... try and connect those dots my friends!

Harry in general isn't the hardest person in the world to figure out, and Dumbledore knows him better than Harry at times knows himself.
