One for the season: Gary Oldman's other most famous role was Dracula; was Sirius Black a vampire or at some point supposed to be a vampire but it was cut? The avada kedavra that hit Sirius seemed to have a more stun like effect than it did with others? Was this because he was originally supposed to be a vampire? Does avada kedavra kill vampires? Did avada kedavra kill Sirius or did falling into the veil kill him?

Iirc, the veil is rumored to be even older than even the department of mysterious, with many asserting that the department was actually built AROUND the veil itself.

[@FormerGovernmentHuman]

Yeah that was the implication in the books. It is also suggested the rest of the ministry was built on top of the department of mysteries.

[@selfiestick1589]

@@FormerGovernmentHuman oof I love the wizarding world, so interesting

[@craxd1]

That would be correct, as I know where JKR obtained the idea. It was the Romans that would have either constructed it, or brought it to the outskirts of Londinium. The gates are called Plutonian Gates or Pluto's Gates; the Devil's Gate. Pluto is the god of the underworld and wealth to the Romans. As a bit of trivia, this is about the Peverells. JKR created that family from a real Norman man named William Peverel, spelled with one L. William was given over 150 manors across England by William the Conqueror, and was known as a castle builder. William built Peverel Castle, and under the castle is a cavern, which many call the Devil's Arse. The Gates were built, by the Romans, where poisonous gas was admitted by the earth. They would lead sacrifices to the gate, with a rope, and push them through, where the gas on the other side would kill the animal inside an enclosed space. Their claim was that it was the underworld, and that Death had killed the beast.

[@zogkuma]

I like how Hogwarts Legacy has a character who is an elderly professor who was once an Unspeakable. Quests as well as dialogue options hint that she should be in her thirties at least, but something in her old profession aged her rapidly to her dismay. This could be interpreted as her handling something that warps time somehow, but ultimately backfiring at her.

I have often wondered if a horcrux was tossed through the veil if it would have taken care of voldemorts soul fragment inside. That’s be cool and very interesting and opens a plethora of questions lol

[@HarryPotterTheory]

Interesting idea! I'll explore this a little more..

[@Ojamamon67]

well if the details are correct then it says the person becomes trapped in the world of the dead not that they themselves die which could very well be the case but it doesnt kill them then Voldemort could essentially bi immortal as they would never be able to get to that piece of soul to destroy it

[@Gamble9110]

@@Ojamamon67 most definitely worth a deep dive!

[@Gamble9110]

@@Ojamamon67 also I was having another look at the storyline when Harry describes to Dumbledore what happened when he first dueled Voldemort and the priori encantatum (apologies if I misspelled that) activated…. Dumbledore a expression seemed like that of familiarity and understanding and I’m wondering if he has experienced it first hand and if so if it happened during his duel against Grindelwald. If thats the case and Gellert was already in possession of and in fact using the Elderwand… Dumbledore’s original wand and the ElderWand are TWINS…

[@missynnifer]

@@Ojamamon67 I understand it to be the complete opposite. Sirius didn’t technically get “unalived” he got pushed from the land of the living to the land of the dead, meaning he’s dead. He’s described as being dead, if he wasn’t the resurrection stone wouldn’t bring him back if he was just ‘trapped’ and not dead. So if a horcrux was put in there, that part of Voldys soul would be dead

[@Mom0fTwins]

One problem with the Fidelius Charm is when the Secret Keeper dies then everyone to whom the Secret Keeper revealed the secret, becomes multiple Secret Keepers watering down the security. Perhaps using the Unbreakable Vow upon joining the department might be a bit more secure? Love all of your videos!

[@kyleethekelt]

Good point. I wonder if the fidelius only covers places or spaces. Rowling leaves us with so little to go on, but plenty of room to speculate.

[@LeoH3L1]

Presumably they would make reports to someone somewhere in the ministry, eg the minister of magic, otherwise there's not much point in them even existing as a department, they're just studying mysteries for the sake of it, and keeping what they've learned to themselves until the day they die, which would be rather pointless as a department of government. So the fidelius charm would be fine, as long as the ONLY person they tell is the current MoM, since if the unspeakable dies, then that doesn't dilute it, as the MoM is one person. But that still is rather pointless, what if they make a discovery that would be very beneficial for wizarding society to know about? You couldn't implement it.

[@GamesCooky]

I was going to say. It would be much easier to just make sure new employees take the Unbreakable Vow upon employment. They could essentially just use it as a non-disclosure agreement. Just make them swear to never disclose any information tied to the department of mysteries.

[@jaccokoet3888]

@@GamesCooky but they could still give the information up, they would just die. But if one of them got convinced by someone to die for a cause, they could leak info. And the person who heard it could just tell everyone, because they didn’t make an umbrellabird vow. So the only thing it would take to compromise the security is 1 employee who is willing to die for a cause

[@GamesCooky]

@@jaccokoet3888 Fair point.The ministry does have ways of detecting magic usage by underage wizards. So surely they must have some way of tracking when important information has been leaked, similar to how they track unlawful magic usage. Idk. It's magic. The sky is the limit as to what is possible. I'm sure there is some explanation.

[@dannieros3]

It makes sense to me that they wouldn’t have used the fidelius charm because what if some giant tragedy happened where the entire department was killed. Then everything protected by the fidelius would be lost forever

[@devonharmon2245]

[@Grayald]

[@NotAGoodUsername360]

Probably because they're aware Time is, ironically, destined to be meddled with, and intervening to prevent the meddling is a bigger distortion to reality. That's why there's far more security around the Prophecies, as they're only a problem when people who they're relevant to make contact with them. Though they know enough not to bother intervening when someone is determined enough to find a Prophecy about themselves, as chances are they either already know it or they are destined to find out. Causality is a bitch and Entropy is a vindictive bastard. Fighting Fate is pointless, the best thing you can do is obscure it.

[@diannaclark4252]

LOL! Magic of course!!! 😂😂😂

[@asthenolith]

In the case of Harry's prophecy, Trelawny doesn't know/remember ever giving it. That leads me to believe that a witness to the prophecy in its entirety (Dumbledore) may have to pull their memory (similar to using a pensieve) in order to have it recorded onto the crystal ball!

[@MikeDCWeld]

@@asthenolith that is a solid possibility. Although that isn't necessarily the right explanation for Trelawney not remembering giving the prophecy. After all, she did give a prophecy to Harry during his final exam about Voldemort's servant escaping and she had no clue anything had even happened. It's likely that her Seer gift simply manifests outside of her conscious state so her brain is literally unable to form an accessible memory of the event. As to the prophecy being recorded in the sphere, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of ancient magic at work in the Hall of Prophecy that automatically created a sphere when a prophecy is delivered.

[@asthenolith]

@@MikeDCWeld that would make a ton of sense, I kind of was thinking something similar while reading the beginning of your reply to me but I couldn't put it into words! You explained it perfectly for me!!

[@kneelbeforeiskeletor]

Even though it would be very logical to further secure the department with Fidelius Charm or Unbreakable Vows, this would limit the protagonists' access to it, hence us readers wouldn't know about it. Which makes me wonder: Could there be *other* departments, rooms or people that are kept secret in such a way? Also the lack of security in such a department turned out pretty convenient for Rowling, since it allowed her to put all the Time Turners in one room and destroy them, making her job way easier down the line. lol

[@strangelaw6384]

I like to imagine tens and hundreds of top secret dept of mysteries facilities across the country, with the department pretty much administratively detached from the ministry and instead working hand-in-hand with equivalent organizations across the globe... you really need a HUGE amount of resources for research and security to be able to study these ungodly powerful magical things. The ability to time travel, if misused, can lead to catastrophes regarding reality itself; and sacrificial love was the key component of a protective charm that nullify ANY harm taken by hundreds of students in the final Hogwarts battle. No world ruler, tyrants, magical terrorists, in their right mind would hesitate to weaponize these magics. Being tied down to the ministry won't do any good in protecting the knowledge the dept of mysteries gained over the years.

[@maksimilian528]

I'm not sure if Fidelius charm is the best idea, as when the secret keeper dies, anyone else they told about the place becomes a secret keeper. Seems risky to me. Unbreakable vow actually seems like a better idea to me

[@redeye3869]

8:46 Got an ad after that. Nice.

[@brianmartyn2631]

I have a thought. What if someone who worked specifically in the chamber of love learned a spell of protection that is activated and passed onto someone else and used that on Lily Potter when they found out Voldemort was going after Harry Potter to ensure he was protected enough to help defeat Voldemort, which is why he had to live with the Dursleys. The love spell only works in the same area as the blood of the original target (Lily).

[@r.mar.673]

So you say it is said that if you pass through the veil as the living you will be stuck in the land of the dead. What if ghosts are just dead people who came through the veil the opposite way and now are stuck in the land of the living.

Some food for thought: Do you think the Unspeakables are also trying to unravel the mystery of travelling to other universes? Do you think some Seers have worked as Unspeakables since the Department of Mysteries safeguards recorded prophecies?

[@ezramiller8936]

Taking the arch into consideration and the themes of the book about death being transformative rather than the end, both suggest that the killing curse is actually doing something quite different. Rather than an assault on the body, it is likely that it is transforming the soul. This may be the reason there have been no successful counter curses devised as the opporation of the spell is widely misunderstood.

[@DeMatthias]

What happens if the secret keeper of a Fidelius charm dies? Wouldn't it be much easier to ensure the secrecy by having each unpeakable perform an unbreakable vow? Much easier to manage. As for why the prophecies are kept hidden, even from the ones about whom the prophecy is made, I believe this is to prevent self-fulfilling prophecies. Remember, the events in the Harry Potter books only happened because Voldemort heard about the prophecy (even though it's partial). What would have happened if Voldemort had never heard about it?

They don't use the fidelius charm simply because apparently there's a way around it that the unspeakables have access to. That or they are indeed charmed and they simply cannot speak of their job at all outside of conversations with other unspeakables hence the name. also something to point out, while Sirius did die in the death room and fell into the veil and beyond. In the movie at least, can't speak for the book as i don't remember but its bellatrix who kills Sirius by hitting him with an avada cadavera killing curse. It's then Sirius stumbles back into the veil and is taken into it. One would think even Sirius couldn't just tank a killing curse while distracted lol

I love your theory videos on Harry Potter. Here's a Little suggestions: Bro, I suggest you to start another theory channel specifically for Tolkien's work. Maybe you can ask from the remaining subscribers through a "Yes or No" survey

[@charliecharliewhiskey9403]

I've always wondered, does the Ministry of Magic call itself a "Ministry" in order to intentionally set itself under the government of Britain in a legal sense? We know that the Minister of Magic does talk to the Prime Minister of the UK, and in the UK a "Minister" is a member of Cabinet (the main government). Ministries are headed by either a Minister or a Secretary of State (a term for a senior minister). Obviously the Ministry of Magic acts more like an independent government, with its own legislature and justiciary, its own currency and population. But it occupies the same territory as the UK. So when the Wizarding World decided to go secret, did they choose the term "Ministry" in order to placate the UK and its King? And if so, then there HAS to be an Act of Parliament of the Muggle UK somewhere hidden that devolves power to the Ministry of Magic and authorises it to make secondary legislation, mint currency etc. Because Governments only feel safe when there is law in place that authorises things they want to pretend they control. A side effect of this would be that all laws passed by the Ministry of Magic would in effect all be amendments to the original Act of the Muggle Parliament. All basically just one law in a legal sense. The same as when a local town council passes a bylaw under its authority granted by an Act. Like, for example, the Law against Misuse of Muggle Artefacts would actually have a long title like "An instrument amending the Secret Grant of Ministry (Magic) Act 1606" or whatever. Maybe being legally subservient to the muggle government was part of the compromise for the government ending its persecution of witches and wizards. Who knows

[@LoveShaysloco]

i can see why the hall of prophecy has them kind of defensive on the prophecies. look at Delphi from the cursed child. she more than likely would love to get her hands on Voldemort's and Harry's prophecy so her dad would know if i attack harry again i could be screwed. so those defensives would be there to prevent them kinds of nuts

Re the prophecy room. I would wonder if the prophecy room was created before or after the time room. Because if you know the future would you change your fate? Some of the ultimate paradoxes can result from either knowing your fate or trying to avoid your fate. Harry Potter probably learned of his fate at exactly the right time. Furthermore; it would probably be inevitable that another seer would have foreseen that too. Given the significance of the information included there. The real question is what decides whether or not particular prediction needs to be sealed in the prophecy room or not?
