[@thebuddercweeper]

Harry uses the cruciatus curse on Amycus Carrow in the Deathly Hallows. Also, using the imperius curse on the goblin wasn't originally part of the plan, it was something Harry had to come up with on the spot because what they had originally planned to use to get in (Belatrix's appearance/wand) wasn't working, so Hermione didn't actually have anything to do with that decision.

[@JuanMataCFC]

i believe it was Amycus not Alecto, but yes everything else u said is true. :)

[@jennv2948]

Harry also used imperius on that death eater that was following “Bellatrix” (was it Yaxley?), making him go hide. I’m pretty sure he also tried to use the cruciatus curse on Snape at the end of HBP when he was chasing him (No Potter! No unforgivable curses for you!)

There's a part in the movie during the Battle of Hogwarts where Ron casts a spell at Nagini that sort of just gets deflected down her skin. Because it was a green jet, it's always been my headcanon that Ron non-verbally cast Avada Kedavra at Nagini

[@JustFlemishMe]

Cool theory! Sadly, though... even Voldemort seems to need to say the words. Also, the very fact it was deflected belies it being the Killing Curse. 'Regular' HP magic, not the 'purer', but more erratic old magic, offers absolutely no defenses against the Killing Curse. I used to think the Killing Curse needed the amp of the Elder Wand to destroy a Horcrux, due to Dumbledore stating the importance of Voldemort killing Harry personally. However, this would be inconsistent with what Hermione tells us about destroying Horcruxes. It's far more likely the reason Voldemort was the only 'good' pick is at that point the bond between the two was so strong there was no real telling what would happen; Harry might even survive. Hermione says a Horcrux must be destroyed beyond magical repair. The Killing Curse fits this bill. We also know the Killing Curse separates soul and body. Hermione says on a human, this doesn't damage the soul, but on a Horcrux, the soul is destroyed with the body. If Ron successfully cast a Killing Curse, Nagini should have been destroyed

[@JahanMisra]

@@JustFlemishMe you can cast it nonverbally. also where does it say it separates soul from body? i’m pretty sure that isn’t true/confirmed. i always saw it as killing someone without harming their body, so against a horcrux where you have to destroy the vessel i don’t think it would do anything

[@JustFlemishMe]

@Merijn Orsel Riiight, I forgot about the fox! Poor thing. I guess it's possible Belletrix did say the words, it just wasn't stated, but given that every other word seems to be written down, that's a weak argument, I'll admit. OK, so maybe someone as hateful as Bellatrix, or Voldemort, could pull it off. Yeah... Bellatrix put it best. Saying the words isn't enough. You have to put meaning behind it. You have to WANT it. Basically, more passionate and driven individuals have more powerful magic. Conversely, self-doubt, as we see with Ron and Neville, can cripple your magical prowess. Barty Crouch Jr. put it... a bit unfortunately, in my view, but absolutely it is possible to shout 'Avada Kedavra!', even as a wizard, and for nothing to happen. We do know Cruciatus can work imperfectly, so the Unforgiveable curses aren't binary - either works or doesn't. A partly successful Killing Curse would be less a nosebleed (physical damage) and more like Kronos' scythe in Percy Jackson, attacking the soul, as I see it. Of course, I could be wrong. Yeah, maybe that's what happened. Ron could have tried it in desperation and failed to do it right. *Chuckling briefly* Not that it matters, because it happened in the movies and not the books, leaving it non-canon, but still, it's fun getting into technicalities.

[@notmiruku29anymore]

@@JustFlemishMe but it could be more effective against more vulnerable targets. So like a nonverbal one cast against a fox wouldn't really take much magical ability cuz it's just a fox vs. children with no actual murderous intent against a full-fledged wizard. Also, didnt voldemort kill harry's family nonverbally too? As for Voldy vs. Harry, he had to say it verbally because Harry was already powerful enough and was basically already his equal at that point (i mean the prophecy did say that he would create an equal and that one would kill the other). Also i think, that avada kedavra does destroy the vessel. A dead body is a broken vessel regardless of the damage in it. That's how the horcrux in Harry was destroyed. I think a powerful avada kedavra would kill the horcrux in nagini. Then again, nagini isn't just a random snake, it's also powerful and has magical abilities of her own. And i don't think Ron has a strong enough conviction to cast avada successfully even if he tried.

[@JustFlemishMe]

@@notmiruku29anymore Hmm. Well, again, we sadly don't know enough about how the Killing Curse works. We do know there's no defense against it, apart from love/sacrifice, part of the 'Old Magic' (which I presume means pre-wand, less controlled but more powerful than basically anything 'regular' magic has to offer). Wooden objects catch fire, and animals, Muggles and wizards all die from it immediately... if you have the strength to do it right. As acknowledged, there could be precedent for the Unforgivable Curses, including the Killing Curse, to have 'measures' of effect. However, apart from the Imperiatus, this seems more determined by the strength of the caster than the target. (Stone and metal are unaffected, but wood catches fire; to me, this is probably because wood is organic. However, plants aren't alive in the same way animals are (and humans are technically animals), and as such the Killing Curse, while it has effect, has a different effect.) Actually, if Voldemort did kill the parents non-verbally, that would be a great argument in favour of at least the sheer presence of magical power not helping any. James was a powerhouse in his own right, extremely gifted, an illegal Animagus who never got caught, someone who figured out these extremely complicated secrets at 15/16. And he and Lily were a real power couple; like the Longbottoms, celebrated Aurors specifically trained to fight Dark Wizards, they thrice defied Voldemort. James on his own without a wand obviously couldn't do much to hinder Voldemort, but together and armed, the pair apparently escaped him before, perhaps even fighting him off. So... Yeah. Voldemort killing them non-verbally says heaps about his own ability, and probably about his psychosis. Not so much aboutthe lack of power in the victim. My best guess as to why he loudly shouted the words is he just loves drama. I actually doubt very much that Voldemort knows any defense whatsoever against Avada Kedavra, and he certainly would be aware if his 'beloved' snake had something of the kind. But perhaps she had something innate, unbeknownst to him; we know after all she's actually a woman with a Blood Curse. The Blood Curse could provide some defense, I suppose, or more likely any number of things could have happened to give her a lasting protection. If enough of her own will was still present, perhaps she could hide it? However, that's irrelevant, since the far likelier answer is Ron just doesn't have what it takes to kill when it comes down to it (which speaks volumes to his good heart).

Based on the conversation at the end of the video, I think a good idea for the Patreon T-Shirt tier would be a jersey style shirt for both Team J and Team Ben.

[@jerryakatony5724]

Hey did their point jump from 4 & 6 to 5 & 7 for no reason no question was asked?

"Amish Paradise alarm clock." Me, instantly: We don't fight, we all play nice, living in an Amish Paradise.

Suggestion for video topic: Due in no small part to the popularity of the web Series "Critical Role", the classic table top role playing game Dungeons & Dragons, has seen a resurgence in popularity. It would be interesting to see what influences the game has had across many aspects of pop/nerd/geek culture over the years, such as video gaming, fantasy literature, movies, television and the list can go on. For example, I would like your thoughts on this idea: according too D&D (5th ed.) criteria, is Voldemort a lich?

Ron casts the killing curse non verbally in the deathly hallows movie against Nagini in the chase with him and Hermione, but it was unsuccessful because it wasn’t fatal to the snake, as for it still being a Horcux still just before Neville swept in with the sword 🗡

[@jolieklimczak9128]

As a Jay fan, it’s always great to see him win!!! Can’t wait for the next video!!

[@lilaklein4030]

You mean THE J fan

[@jolieklimczak9128]

Yep 😂😂… as an older sibling who likes both trivia and Harry Potter, I was bound to be THE Jay fan

[@tomhoward5749]

Can't believe J likes Weird Al, that's so awesome!

[@maryvallas772]

Ben, you were correct!!! It means great effort! "The term give it the old college try was quoted in Babe Ruth's book in the 1920s, and the phrase entered the American language to mean any heroic attempt to achieve something, especially something with a high risk of failure."

[@zimonzieclown1633]

Hermione didn't get 12 OWLs, she got 10 because she dropped Muggle Studies and Divination in her third year.

[@lauradeangelis2209]

I root for you every time, Ben!

[@SvenStucki1998]

On the topic of sorting ceremony (question 5): Anyone ever realize that Crabbe and Goyle dont get sorted in Book 1? I cant remember the specifics but although obviously not all the sorted students of their are shown, the whole scene is defintely done in a way that they SHOULD be mentionned logically given their last names because of other characters mentionned. Always found that a bit off-putting

[@phrawlg]

You forgot Harry used Imperio on Travers in Gringotts, and Crucio on Amacus Carrow. Both from Deathly Hallows and both in the book

[@jennv2948]

And attempting against Snape at the end of HBP

[@ajjamsen694]

If ya'll did the reenacting scenes thing then the scene where Dumbledore confronts Harry about the Goblet of Fire could be done right! Then maybe it won't be as frustrating whenever you see that scene and you can think to yourselves "...its ok... I did it right and better..." and be all 😎

[@boooksareamazing]

DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?! Dumbledore said calmly.

[@Corvid-w3b]

Fun fact about my life. When my grandfather survived WW2 he decided that he would take up clockmaker as a hobby. So he hand built me a variety of different alarm clocks as my Christmas present for the first decade or so of my life. The one I loved the most that still works to this day albeit it's alarm is the most jarring unbelievable wake up, is a tiny functioning steam powered train engine. So it would wake me up with incredibly loud steam whistle sounds and the start up sequence chugs that got faster and louder. The wheels had moving parts and there was a tiny reservoir to put like a thimble of water in to produce actual steam. Which we did once and never again cuz it broke immediately. But it still makes the sounds and does the movements almost 30 years later.

[@claudekaneiii2283]

I always interpreted the saying “Give it the Ol’ college try” to mean that when you get to college you have to give it your full effort because you’re not a little kid anymore and you have to try your hardest. Funny how that can be interpreted so many different ways.

[@Knowledgesquad1]

Which has always been ironic to me because most people in College don't try very hard at all. Spending most of their time drinking and partying and doing assesment at the last moment.

[@tbrennan100]

In the books, it's not specified which memory charm she used on her parents. In the coffee shop, she said she never used obliviate before

[@menollyesteb592]

So Ron was taking 8 classes: transfiguration, potions, defense, charms, herbology, astronomy, history, and divination, right? I was under the impression he failed his Divination and History exams (and probably astronomy), which leaves 6 OWLs maximum. How did the quiz end up with 7?

[@johngilbert8898]

Don't forget care of magical creatures - also, the reason harry and ron both passed astronomy was that it had a written and practical element, meaning hagrid getting arrested midway through the practical exam still left them both with enough time to get an A from the rest.

[@danielrhouck]

Original quiz results: 9/10; just missed the Cursed Child question. Q1: One of the choices was “an insufferable know-it-all”, which is the closest to what you guessed. But I think if you saw that choice youʼd have realized it was wrong, because thatʼs a Snape line. Patreon quizmaster 1: I think the roles were treasurer and secretary? Unless she took treasurer for herself. And Harry has better handwriting so Iʼll say he was secretary and Ron was treasurer? Patreon quizmaster 2: Iʼm only answering for books because I do not remember for movie at all. Nothing until the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, where Harry tried and failed to cast the Cruciatus on Bellatrix. In book 6 after the Battle of the Lightning-Struck Tower, I think Harry tried and failed to Cruciatus Snape? Then in book 7, the Gringotts break-in. I think Harry and then Hermione cast the Imperius there? Then Harry cast the Cruciatus on one of the Carrows, successfully, before the Battle of Hogwarts really started. I think all of these instances were verbal except for Harryʼs Imperius at Gringotts. Q8: I got this but only by thinking through it from answering what Q10 asked. He only failed the same two Harry did, and he took 7 core classes + 2 electives (alternately, he took all but 3 of the 12 offered classes). Hermione didnʼt get 12 OWLs, because she dropped Divination and Muggle Studies (this implies Percy had a Time-Turner). Patreon quizmaster 3: Hermione: Mafalda Hopkirk, Harry and Ron: uh one of them was Mr. Runcorn? Patreon quizmaster 4: Something and Cinderella Patreon quizmaster 5: Harry has holly and phoenix feather, 11" (plus maybe a fractional inch?). Hermioneʼs vine wood and dragon heartstring, 10¾". No clue how long Ronʼs wand is, but heʼs tall so Iʼll guess 12"+. Adding that together you get 33.75" or above, but probably not much longer. I think the multiple choice might have actually helped. --- So I get 10/15.

[@jonathanblackwell42]

My experience with this video: "now I've gotta finish this before Ben gets back!" "And I'm back!" Jay looks into the camera guiltily taking a bite and the video freezes.

[@amywilson7540]

I feel like there's a certain amount of inflation in the point system at Hogwarts.

[@devmodi6935]

Y’all are the GOLDEN DUO

[@candycemonroe7345]

Add Tyler... There is a trio

[@Cllocopine]

Hermione didn’t get 12 OWLs? On top of the seven exams Ron got, she also got Astrology I assume, and then Arithmancy and Ancient runes. That makes 10. She didn’t take all the classes because she quit muggle studies and divination in her third year. [EDIT] Percy did not quit anything which is how he got 12.

"The Cleveland Browns" What, you're the most boring member of the Family Guy Four? Oh, BrownS, it's sportsball, gotcha. Much less interesting than Modern Family Guy, even.

[@KingTaltia]

"The old college try" originates from a book by Babe Ruth, and is about "College" league baseball. In it he refers to it as "A reckless play to grandstand despite you clearly not being able to handle it" effectively. Huh, the more you learn... I suppose most people use it wrong, It would more likely be used to say "I'll try, but that doesn't mean I can do it"... Actually, come to think of it that's exactly what it means.

[@miningflame9847]

Harry in the books casts crucio on Bellatrix in #5 and fails, then casts it again at Snape in #6 and gets cut off, and then again on the Carrow sister in #7 successfully, and he casts imperio 3 times in #7 (1 on Travers, and 2 times on the goblin). Harry in the 5th movie casts crucio once on Bellatrix and fails. Ron in the movies casts imperio 2 times on the goblin in movie 8
