Күн бұрын

Hey everyone! Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In today’s video, we’re going to be discussing the witches and wizards of times past. I am of course referring to GHOSTS. I’m going to start with an introduction on what exactly our deceased friends are- and shortly after I’m going to segue in to how exactly one becomes a ghost.
According to Pottermore:
In the world of Harry Potter, a ghost is the transparent, three-dimensional imprint of a deceased witch or wizard, which continues to exist in the mortal world.
Throughout the Harry Potter books and films, ghosts are quite prevalent, particularly at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. In fact, we see them right at the beginning of the series when they appear in the great hall- shocking first years who had never seen a ghost before. For Harry- a boy that had only just learned about the wizarding world- seeing ghosts was a real trip.
There are lots of ghosts in the wizarding world- but the main one’s we’re introduced to in the series live at Hogwarts. Nearly Headless Nick, Moaning Myrtle, the Bloody Baron, The Grey lady, the fat friar, professor binns and sir patrick delaney podmore all inhabit the Hogwarts castle- each tied to the mortal world for their own unique reasons.
So there are ghosts ‘literally’ floating around- but, the question is - why? Sure, they’re deceased witches and wizards- but what makes them so unique? Why do they remain in the mortal world when so many others disappear altogether? After Sirius dies- Harry becomes increasingly curious with regards to what exactly it is that causes souls to remain in the land of living; venturing to find Nearly Headless Nick in search of answers.
"Oh, very well," he (Nick) said, looking resigned. "I can't pretend I haven't been expecting it."
"Expecting what?" Harry asked.
"You to come and find me," said Nick. "It happens, sometimes ... when somebody has suffered a ... loss."
"Well," said Harry, refusing to be deflected, "You were right, I've - I've come to find you."
Nick said nothing.
"It's -" said Harry, who was finding this more awkward than he had anticipated, "it's just - you're dead. But you're still here, aren't you?"
Nick sighed and continued to gaze out at the grounds.
"That's right, isn't it?" Harry urged him. "You died, but I'm talking to you ... You can walk around Hogwarts and everything, can't you?"
"Yes," said Nearly Headless Nick quietly, "I can walk and talk, yes."
"So, you came back, didn't you?" said Harry urgently. "People can come back, right? As ghosts. They don't have to disappear completely. Well?" he added impatiently, when Nick continued to say nothing.
Nearly Headless Nick hesitated, then said, "Not everyone can come back as a ghost."
"What d'you mean?" said Harry quickly.
"Only ... only wizards."
"Oh," said Harry, and he almost laughed with relief. "Well, that's okay then, the person I'm asking about is a wizard. So he can come back, right?"
Nick turned away from the window and looked mournfully at Harry. "He won't come back.
"Who?"
"Sirius Black," said Nick.
"But you did! said Harry angrily. "You came back - you're dead and you didn't disappear -"
"Wizards can leave an imprint of themselves upon the earth, to walk palely where their living selves once trod," said Nick miserably. "But very few wizards choose that path."
"Why not?" said Harry. "Anyway - it doesn't matter - Sirius won't care if it's unusual, he'll come back, I know he will!"
"I was afraid of death," said Nick. "I chose to remain behind I sometimes wonder whether I oughtn't to have ... Well, that is neither here nor there ... in fact, I am neither here nor there ..."
What Nick explains to Harry here is that, in order to remain in the land of the living as a ghost, you must...

@@Aidensan11 No, because you divide your soul by 2 every time you do so. That would be times 2^(-7), which is 1/128. Further explanation: After dividing your soul into two pieces the first time, you have 1/2 of a soul in yourself and the other half in the horcrux. Doing this again means that you now divide your half in half, which leaves you with 1/4th and so on.

Just so you know ~ ghosts aren't real. Once you pass away, you go to the grave. When God tells Jesus that it is time, He will come back. The Dead~in~Christ will rise first to meet Him in the air. Then the ones who aren't Christians will rise. Then those who are alive at the time will rise. Then Jesus will judge everyone. If you are a Christian when you pass, you will face Jesus on the Throne of Judgment to be judged by your deeds ~ the things you have done because you love Jesus. Then you will get the crown{s} that you have earned, then you will go to Heaven. Those who are NOT Christians will face Jesus on the Great White Throne. There He will judge you for your sins, then you will go to Hell.

So, I have a follow-up question: is it possible for ghosts to move on if their reason for staying was resolved? I know it doesn't really apply to most of the ghosts we see, but if a wizard returned as a ghost because Voldemort killed them, for example, and they couldn't move on because of the anger at being killed by a man who was still alive, then would they be able to move on after he died? Do they have a choice in that if their reason for staying is resolved, or are they forced to live like that forever regardless?

These questions always stuck with me. If ghost cant learn then how can they interact with the students. How did Nick know there names, know about Harry's fame. The grey lady learned later who Tom was and that he trickt her. These are all things one learn. They learn the names of the students as well. Those are all skills one learns. So that they cant learn seems to be not so much the case

Actually haunted places tend to stop being haunted after 600 to 800 years. Gettysburg Battlefield is said to be haunted with unexplained lights and other phenomena. But the Coliseum in Rome isn't anymore, but in historical records in the first Millenia it was claimed to be haunted. Then some people don't believe in ghosts at all even with police reports and in one case a police picture of what was called a ghost.

Because his soul was too split up, like 7 pieces and each only half of what it was before. So the Tom Riddle out of the diary in Chamber of Secrets was half of Voldemort's soul as Voldemort made it the first horcrux from killing Moaning Myrtle who came back for the sole purpose to haunt Olive Hornsby for making fun of her glasses. The next horcrux Voldy made only contained a quarter soul and the next an 8th and then a 16th, 32nd, 1/64th and finally Nagini at 1/128th of his soul. Somewhere in there was the 1/64th(?) in Harry the horcrux he didn't intend to make, but when Voldemort died he only had 1/128th of his soul left in his body. His pieces of soul were stuck in Limbo unable to join together, therefore unable to move on nor back.

Can you discuss why it took Voldemort a year to track down the Potters? Sirius said that Peter defected a year prior to Lily and James dying. Here is the timeline: Fall 1979: Lily is pregnant with Harry and Alice is pregnant with Neville Early 1980: Prophecy Snape tells Voldemort about the prophecy July 1980: Harry is born; Peter was recruited around this time give or take a couple months Late summer-winter 1980: Snape tells Dumbledore that the Potters are in danger The Potters went into hiding- we know they were in hiding for months before Harry’s birthday. They were protected by the ministry. See protective enchantments page on the Harry Potter fandom page and Deathly Hallows chapter 14 Their numbers were dwindling and Dumbledore suggested switching to the Fidelius Charm. He offered to be Secret Keeper, but they insisted on using Sirius. October 1981: Peter was made Secret Keeper a week prior to them dying (see Prisoner of Azkaban; its chapter 9 I think. They were in the Three Broomsticks and Harry overheard. It was Harry’s first Hogsmead visit.) Halloween 1981: Voldemort killed Lily and James

@@Home_Rich No, Avada Kedavra does not consume the soul otherwise if it did Lily and James Potter who were killed in this method would not have surved physical death and enter the spiritual realm. You I think might be confusing it with the dementors kiss which rips out a person's soul. As to what happens to that soul we dont know. AK kills the body instantly, freeing the living life force. The dementer on the other hand rips out a soul and the body survives. The wand magic is partially correct, though the 'ghosts' in the wands arent actually alive. They are an echo or a recording of the murdered person. Simular to how the portrait paintings seem 'alive' The dead person does not go on and hang out in a painting for all eternity. They go on into the light. The paintings only know what the real subject taught it while it was being created.

Are ghosts able to move on if either the unfinished business they had in life is done or they decide it doesn't matter anymore or are they bound in the mortal world forever no matter what happens? Because if they can still move on by either abandon their unfinished business or solve it the whole ghost thingy doesn't really look like a bad way to choose. If you are bound forever in the mortal world as a ghost if you decide to not move on... well, a very tricky choice to make.

I find the concept of ghosts the way it is put in the HP universe overly cruel. In the collective imagery, ghosts do have a chance to peacefully move on to the afterlife (which is often their biggest desire) if their unfinished business is resolved - which usually has to do with their death, for example justice must be done and/or a hidden truth must be revealed (on this topic, you might want to check out a horror movie called The Woman in Black, where our Daniel Radcliffe beautifully portrays a young widowed father who stumbles upon a manor infested by a child ghost)... But ghosts in HP universe don't seem to have this chance. This destiny seems just too cruel to me especially when it comes to Myrtle, little more than a child when she died. Or maybe they have it, but both Nick and Myrtle are still so attached to fear of dying and to resentment for being bullied respectively, that they still can't move on? The reason why Nick doesn't mention this part to Harry might be that it would expose his deep rooted cowardice, and Nick might be ashamed in front of Harry (known as one of the bravest wizards of his time), but especially in front of himself. As for ghosts being unable to learn new things, I would question this. Ghosts do show interest, memory, emotional investment and consciousness about events and people they encountered as ghosts, even if this is limited to those perspectives, values systems, interests and feelings they were so deeply attached to when they died: taking part into the Headless tournament thing and keeping up with Sir Patrick Podmore clearly matters a lot to Nick, a nobleman who lived a life based on values like chivalry and social prestige. Myrtle, apart from whining over her own misery, can still grow feelings of interest and attraction for different boys (Harry, Cedric) - something that, very naturally, must have been all the rage for her at the time she died at 15 years old (I wonder wether she had a crush on Tom Riddle, potentially making her the most vulnerable/suitable as his first victim) - and seems to even create a bond of friendship with Draco. I love to think that this (cracking a cool, popular Pure blood guy's bully surface), helped her moving on, even after the Basilisk's death didn't.

Can the ghosts leave the castle to travel?
