Also, my theory on the Harry Potter Merlin: There's more than one Merlin, and the 10th century Merlin who is on the Chocolate Frog Card is named after the 6th century Merlin who helped King Arthur fight the Anglo-Saxons. Muggles remember Merlin #1 for his part in the stories about King Arthur Wizards remember Merlin #2 because Merlin #2 was more powerful and, idk... Look, JK Rowling plays loose and fast with history. She has Hogwarts looking like a 16th century German castle even though it was built in pre-Norman Scotland. She puts Merlin hundreds of years *after* the first stories about Merlin were being told. She doesn't even acknowledge England has multiple distinct periods of history characterized by different groups taking over, she acts like everything was smooth and pre-ordained and the only conflict has ever been Muggles and Wizards. So this is the best explanation I got: Multiple wizards named Merlin, and two of them happened to get famous.

[@Kahadi]

I think a simpler explanation: It was intended as a story for kids and younger readers, whom would mostly neither know nor care about history, maybe at best an understanding of the more interesting parts. So she didn't care about putting in accurate historical data, including when Merlin was around. To complicate matters, some of the information isn't actually stated in the books and was instead done simply for the movies, which could suggest some of these errors aren't even her but instead those working on the movies, namely producers, editors, set artists, and prop artists (I don't really care if those aren't proper position titles, you at least know what I mean). Another thing to consider is that, being more myth than history, the stories of King Arthur and Merlin are hard to accurately pin down in history, with many historians believing them to be a mix of tales of several real historical figures mixed and exaggerated into one figure to make them seem even greater, though that's harder to prove and go with.

[@jeanv8249]

I always thought the castle has been updated and rebuilt, like medieval castles were in real life, so the school looking like 16th century german castle wouldn’t be such a plothole. I am sure jkr could come up with something like "there was a headmaster who was of german descent and loved the architecture" or "the headmaster x worked abroad before teaching and becoming headmaster" or maybe some story about some headmaster that visited durmstrang for triwizard tournament and was impressed by the style (durmstrang is in a germanic country and there were lots of germans in sweden, at a point 1/3 of stockholm’s population was german, so maybe german wizards built durmstrang in that style and Hogwarts ripped it off centuries after the building of the original castle

[@Chicken_of_Bristol]

Surprised that the Room of Requirement wasn't mentioned. Seems like there are lots of parallels between the two: how you access the room and how you get the sword, the idea that they both change to fit the needs of the person, and we also know that the room is where lots of things have been hidden/stored in hogwarts across the ages.

[@DarkMarimo]

The Moment J mentioned the Peverells, I noticed for the first time how similar it sounds to the Pevensies (Children from Narnia) because every time I think about the four founders of Hogwarts, this theory about them being the Pevesies comes into mind. You can say about this theory what you want, but I love it. xD And there are some similarities like Peter's/Godric's magical sword, Lucy's cordial and H. Hufflepuffs cup, Edmund/Slytherin being the one who stands out or thinks more realisticly (they made a Video about Slytherin being not the evil guy) and odd coincidence like, if I remember right, we only get to know how R. Ravenclaw (or was it only her daughter?) died and Susan is the only one who doesn't die with her siblings. Yes, I know the Pevensies died (and lived in the wrong time) and had no magic, so they can't be the founders, but what if after they were resurrected in Aslan's country, Aslan send them back? This time with magical abilities because some magic from Narnia found its way to our world somehow after Narnia got destroyed. Like a resurrection that removed them from his Land. And since we know Earths time and Narnia time are not connected and its fantasy, it could be a MCU move and the magic "landed" in the past of our world and Aslans send the Pevensies from his Land to this time period on Earth so they could take care of it by being teachers to those who got affected by the magic. Its silly but I love it, don't take it away from me. xD

[@ibraheemayub3894]

Do you know why it's j and not ben also great theroy

[@sezzac155]

Okay but The Magician's Nephew actually sort of gives credence to your theory. 1) Magic fruit taken from Aslan's Country and being planted in our world is how the wardrobe eventually came about. 2) Part of original method involved magical teleportation rings created in our world. 3) It has a realm called 'The Wood between Worlds' which enables one to travels to other worlds/dimensions. So like...even if Hogwarts is not 'Our World' or whatever, it still could be our world. I haven't read the entire Narnia series, so I don't know how everything could fit, I don't even know if The Wood between Worlds is mentioned again, but your theory is valid and interesting and if JK Rowling the horrible person wasn't at least inspired by the rings when she came up with the idea of Portkey's I will eat the pages of my HP books.

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

Oh my gosh! I’ve never thought about it before but the Pevensie’s are EXACTLY like the Hogwarts Houses! Peter is Gryiffindor, Susan is Ravenclaw, Edmund’s Slytherin and Lucy’s Hufflepuff!!

No. Just no. Stop fishing for likes. Focus more on your grammar first. Hippogriifs, Boggarts, Cornish Pixies are part of education. Those are known creatures that everyone should know about. How else would've Harry fought off the Dementor in the Maze? Sure, the 3 Unforgivable Curses can be put to debate but it's because Harry was educated in those Curses that led him to escape Voldemort in Goblet. Are you saying Hogwarts intentionally hired Quirrell because he had Voldemort on the back of his head? You haven't read the books so you don't know that Quirrell was already part of the staff before he went on a tour, met Voldemort, and got influenced by him. What, you think the rest of the staff would have asked Quirrell to remove his turban? Speaking of Quirrell, he's the one that snuck the troll inside the school on Halloween. Hogwarts didn't do that, Quirrell did while he had Voldemort on the back of his head. Dementors were stationed at Hogwarts to protect the students, but there is also evidence that Albus didn't want them anywhere near his students, but the Ministry forced the Dementors for Harry's protection. Fluffy was there to protect the Sorcerer's Stone. Fluffy wasn't casually walking around biting kids, or was hiding and sneaking out to kill kids. I'll give you Blast-Ended Skrewts. Hagrid invented them and we saw how the kids were hurt. Luckily they all died before the end of the year. Dolores? Albus appointed her for the DADA position so Harry can see why he shouldn't trust the Ministry. But it's really important to point out Albus didn't want Dolores. She already has a history in the Wizarding world that Remus and "half-breeds" can tell you about. I don't think Albus was expecting her but he got stuck with her. She was evil herself but that's not the school's fault if a teacher is evil. Besides Snape, all other teachers are fair, instructional, sincere, and professional so you can't blame Hogwarts if one single teacher is bad. The DADA position is Cursed as we all know and Dolores doesn't come back. She had a bitter ending to her job, which we all loved.

That being said, it is perfectly possible that Griphook got killed somewhere off-screen, but I always imagined Griphook sitting on a chair somewhere, villain-style, with the sword (I got you know, my pretty) and then... poof! It's gone, because Neville inadvertendly summoned it .... *maniacle laughter*

@@Ranger1812 It's magic.

[@Ranger1812]

@@flwrsforvaña I know. That doesn't change what I said. Magic isn't some random thing with no laws. We know there are, that's how you can learn and do specific things. And there's "Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration". Magic has laws, that's why it works as it does. That doesn't make it science. Science and magic are present throughout the universe, running parallel with each other. A universal law between them is that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Conjuration turns energy into an object, vanishment turns matter into energy. Conjured items aren't the real thing though, just representations of that thing. And magic cannot create life, so conjured and otherwise transfigured living things are not really alive, they are representations of those living things. We know magic cannot create life because there are three solely magical "living" things, that have no equivalent or relation to any nonn-magical living things.: dementors, boggarts, and poltergeists. They're all non-beings, which means they cannot die as they were never alive. They are the physical embodiment of emotion, dementors, despair; boggarts, fear; and poltergeists, mischievousness. They grow and shrink in number depending on the amount of that emotion in an area. Peeves is the incarnation of 1000 years worth of teenagers', and some faculty members', mischievousness. You could remove him by removing all the students for a long period, so he slowly fades in power and eventually disappears, but he'd return begin growing in strength again when students returned. Other methods of removing him are likely to all fail seeing as he's become so strong from being at Hogwarts for 1000 years. The last effort to expel him was in 1876, by then-caretaker Rancourous Carpe. He put a load of weapons under a large, hanging bell jar with various Containment Charms on he'd drop on him, rightly thinking they'd be irresistible to Peeves. Peeves got the weapons and easily escaped the jar, resulting in glass covering the corridor, and left with cutlasses, a crossbow, a blunderbuss, and a miniature cannon. The castle had to be evacuated for 3 days while Peeves wreaked havoc, including firing randomly out of windows and threatening everyone with death. The standoff only ended when then headmaster, Eupraxia Mole signed a contract allowing him a once-weekly swim in the first-floor boys' toilets, first refusal of stale bread from the kitchens for throwing purposes, and a new hat made by Madam Bonhabile of Paris.

@@Ranger1812 But then again, we can't trust what Jo tells us. *She Claimed That Hermione was black and that the Cursed Child is cannon.*

[@Ranger1812]

@@flwrsforvaña I'm right. *canon. "Cannon" is a weapon. She never said Hermione was black. She said she could be black because it was never stayed otherwise (which isn't true, she was said to have a pale face (meaning the colour had drained from it, not just describing her skin colour), and Molly said she looked like a panda when she had a black eye. But she can be played by a black actor, that's a non-issue. Cursed Child is the problem. New Time-Turners are annoying, but not a cardinal sin, but the trolley witch was horrendous, Harry hating pigeons is evil and not having a good relationship with Albus makes no sense, whatsoever, and the story doesn't even make sense within itself. Cedric wouldn't become a Death Eater, but even if he did, that wouldn't stop Snape dying. The events aren't connected.
