Harry also uses Crucio on the Carrow in Ravenclaw tower when they spat on McGonnagal. He throws off the invisibility cloak and casts it, then comments something like "I see what Belatrix meant. You have to mean it."

[@coolnerdlll6053]

I think that quote is word-for-word. *checks Deathly Hallows copy* It's "You need to really mean it", but points for closeness.

25:33 Hermione uses a Memory Modification charm on her parents, changing their memories. She Obliviates the Death Eaters. Different spell.

[@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!)

[@LS-sp5hr]

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).

Originally Hermione takes 12 however she drops divination during third year and she drops muggle studies after the end of the year to put her on a regular time table of 10 classes for fourth year

[@Bryan-hh3mq]

@@hollymacnamara9986 You're not wrong, but they're talking about the max amount you CAN get, not just how much Hermione got.

[@hollymacnamara9986]

oh yes sorry, because they said that’s what Hermione ‘got’ I assumed they were talking about how many owls she achieved but rewatching they were talking about how many lessons she ‘got’- how many she was aloud to take

[@hollymacnamara9986]

Also in your original post you said that Percy didn’t take divination, so if Percy achieved 12 OWLs which subject did he take that Hermione didn’t original take? As she did take divination at the start of 3rd year when she was originally taking 12 but if he didn’t he must have taken an extra one ?

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.

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

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

Definition of Hermione: incredibly useful for everything but annoying at times😂

Fact Check: I’m pretty sure Fred and Gorge got 6 O.W.L in total: 3 each.

To the homework planners I remember this. My little brother had just finished his homework and went to bed. He woke up to find out that his dog literally ate his homework!! Oldest excuse in the book came true.

[@emmyliz1951]

So confused with the second question. The question says “collectively” but then 5 was right… but then you said 5 each… so wouldn’t 15 be correct?

[@shyan-oh]

No, Hermione lost 5 points, and Harry and Ron earned 5 each. So in the end, it's only 5 earned collectively

[@coreymcdonald7745]

Hermione loses 5 points before Harry and Ron are awarded 5 points, so Hermione's 5 points puts them at -5, Harrys 5, would put that back to 0, and Ron's 5 would make it 5 points.

The cat alarm clock sounds like a purrrfect way to wake up

It shocks me how little people have seen the *original* Freaky Friday

They do run into Albert Runcorn in the lift when Mr. Weasley was taking Harry to court.

Questions about the Cursed Child shouldn't be in these quizzes since it's not canon to the HP universe.

[@ronjakribach2779]

WELL... Rowling says its canon so... but I agree 😁 it shouldn't be

[@bridgethauser5442]

George and Fred got 6 O.W.Ls together, 3 each

[@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.

[@WilliametcCook]

"The old college try" comes from professional baseball. New players (who come from college baseball) would try their hardest to catch fly balls they had no chance of catching

[@Lokear]

Again, Hermione hadn't *removed* someone's memories before in that scene. What she did to her parents was *modify* memories.

[@phtuber5469]

But it's still a type of memory charms, so not that big of a difference if you ask me.

[@HauntedAtoms]

Ben, I just wanted to say you looked handsome af, with the shirt buttoned ALL the way up. Should have taken the leap, and went for it. I'm team 'button all the way up'. People are just unfamiliar with the sight, and reject the idea, like J.

[@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.

[@kpoptimes5826]

honestly ben definition of the old college try is closer to what i thought it meant
