The idea of a bear as a villain, is strange to me. I've always thought of bears as caring, respectful animals. Someone who is represented by a bear should be strong willed but also cares about others and has the power to protect them. Voldemort is too cowardly selfish and evil to be a bear. Edit: I didn't mean that bears aren't dangerous to humans. I'm just saying that in the culture I grew up with, dangerous animals like bears and wolves were associated with virtues rather than being villains. The video originally talks about bears in the context of certain European myths. That culture uses bears as a symbol of evil, the culture in some, if not most native American tribes used bears as a more positive symbol. Without metaphor bears are a dangerous animal who are usually kind to their young, which makes them more dangerous to people.

What I’m thinking about is: For a Patronus, you must conjure a happy memory, but wouldn’t Voldemort be able to make a Patronus, because it his eyes, death and pain is a happy memory, like for example, killing Lily and James, torturing Harry in GoF, etc. I feel like he would be able to make a Patronus with those “happy” memories??

[@limiv5272]

I would say he's more satisfied when he kills and tortures, and that a truly happy memory would be something like discovering he was a wizard

[@Tytoalba777]

6:05 "the slavic language is derived from Latin" umm... where do I start... There is no "Slavic language," at least not any more. There's the Slavic language family, which contains many languages inside of it, like Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, and Serbian. But, I'm willing to handwave this because you probably meant Slavic Language Family or Proto-Slavic Language. However, saying that Slavic is derived from Latin is a sin I can't accept. Slavic and Latin are both part of the Indo-European family, having descended from a common source, Proto-Indo-European. Slavic languages have also adopted some Latin words, like Tsar, which from the Latin name Caesar (yes, that Caesar). But Slavic languages are pretty definitely not derived from Latin. By the time Rome was founded, the Latin and Slavic families would have been diverged for hundreds, if not thousands of years.

[@AnickaSR]

Thousands I guess... not mentioning the fact that the Roman Empire collapsed in 476 AD and the Slavic tribes whose descendants are living in nowadays Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, Balkans etc came to their current location during the 5th and 6th century AD. Most likely didn't have any idea about a Roman Empire even existing (maybe except some merchants). Latin words were implemented into the higher language during rennaisance. And yes - Slavic Language Family (Czech, Slovak, Polish, Croatian, Serbian, Russian, Ukrainian....) and Romance Language Family derived from Latin (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Romanian) could not be more different... Even though I've always considered Romanian to be a sort of a crossover between Slavic and Romance languages.

No, it's a symbolic cannibalism. What is cannibalism? Eating a dead human. Why do we eat? To sustain ourselves, to SURVIVE. That's what a Horcrux does. It's a sort of parasite, and sustains itself off of another object, animal, or person. That's it.
