How The Centaurs Predicted Harry’s Death | Harry Potter Film Theory

Saying centaurs have human level intelligence might be an insult to the centaurs😂

My theory on why astronomy is important is regarding certain harvesting timeframes for potion making. Some potions require precise positions/phases of the moon so why not the rest of the planets too? 😅

[@adosa2a15]

yes!

[@AskMia411]

I was just coming to the comments to say this exact thing. I specifically remember that the animagus spell takes at least a month-- full moon to full moon-- before it can be finished. It stands to reason that there are other complicated spells and potions that require astronomy knowledge to pull off.

[@chefRyan38]

Astronomy = Science Astrology = Divination

[@thomasscofield1656]

THANK YOU!

[@sarahdsparks]

But Hogwarts teaches both Astronomy and Divination as magical. If any class is teaching whether Scorpios get along with Leos, it’s Divination. I got the impression that Astronomy=physics, Potions=chemistry, and Arithmancy=a combination of geometry and statistics.

[@juanningatlife]

That's how I've always seen it as well. Divination is disrespected by most, especially Hermoine, but Trelawney's predictions are right. Astrology is disrespected by most, but the more you learn about it, the more specific it becomes and the talking points brought up by astrology's detractors fade away.

That's actually insane that the Centaurs knew Harry was to die, and weren't going to fight until that happened.

[@pikanonymous512]

[@captainspaulding5963]

The part about Harry and Ron being able to predict the tasks for the tournament is the reason I find it hilarious when people believe in predictions in general! They described 3 extremely vague and common events. If Harry had say burned his tongue on some food, first one "proven". If he had lost ANY possession, second one "proven". And a teenager in school is gonna get stabbed in the back by someone they "trust" fairly often.

[@BrBobMackeSJ]

My boss likes to say that he has the distinction of having been misunderstood by Harry Potter. (He developed the model of Europa covered by ice with a subsurface liquid ocean, back in the 1970s.)

[@michaelmaki6857]

I like you explanation of why they teach Astronomy. But I think it is also relevant to note that for thousands of years of human history, students learned their mathematics by studying and calculating the paths and locations of the stars. Arithmatic, geometry, and post Newton, the alchemist that he was, Calculus can all be learned by studying the heavens with Muggle grade telescopes. Wizard Telescopes would likely offer even better views and measurements.

[@luskaneseprince]

I like this comment! They don't teach math in Hogwarts as a separate subject, but calculating the positions of every celestial being in the sky at any given moment DOES teach you a lot of mathematical rules, plus of course stuff about physics. It isn't like that isn't useful for wizards too, even if they spend most of their time breaking the laws of... well, physics. As a kid I always found it interesting that wizards are just allowed to go around with zero math education, unless you're a Muggleborn, and even then you would stop at fourth grade levels. And sure, Hermione is studying numerology, but it seems to me that that subject doesn't cover geometry or vectors or stuff like that, plus it was an elective course. But astronomy being the equivalent of math would explain a lot. Now we only need a proper substitute for English language lessons lol (or you know, a native tongue lessons in whatever language you speak the best). I guess the study of Magical History comes closest to that.

[@GabrielTisott28]

I think they study astronomy to make certains spells and potions, like the animagus transformation, which has to be done at a full moon

[@AuthorZaraHoffman]

⁠​⁠@@mattoleary1470except the book always has September 1st always being the same day of the week (Sunday), which is not true. So, you’d have to adjust the days to be in-book accurate.

Isn't Firenze on pretty good terms with Hagrid. I'm not totally sure we can credit the planets for his knowledge of exactly where the philosopher stone is.

[@hk-4886]

Now I can’t stop imagining Hagrid and Firenze meeting every now and then to have a few drinks and discuss random things

[@Snowshowslow]

This... is such a good point 😂

[@trinkab]

How does Firenze know about the Philosopher's Stone? Easy. He is on friendly terms with HAGRID! And being smarter than humans, it takes a lot less time than the golden trio for the centaurs to get clues out of him and to figure it out. Why do they need Astronomy? I always presumed it was because certain potions have to be brewed at certain times of the celestial year, some spells/curses only work/ manifest at X time of the month, *werewolves * for example. And so on...

[@xy-ow7hw]

One of the points where you could be wrong is how Firenze knows about the Sorcerers Stone being in Hogwarts. Perhaps he doesn´t know? Perhaps he only knows about a mighty artifact, which could lead Voldemort to be alive again and extend his life expatation? And since he´s not dumb he only concludes that it must be the stone? Also he could have seen Dumbledore and Hagrid wander around in the forbidden forest to see if it´s a possible hideout for the stone. Or he had a talk with Hagrid and he spilled some beans.

[@LadyBeyondTheWall]

Right? My first thought has always been that actually, Hagrid just let it slip. Because.. Hagrid. 🤷🏻‍♀

[@shenronkefka]

But what if it wasn't the stone he was referring to, but the spectre of voldemort being hidden under quirrel's turban.

[@maumue]

Hey, I think you could have also mentioned Fantastic Beasts 3, where at about 50 minutes Dumbledore looked at his watch and said Lally and Jacob should go to the dinner, including the "assassination attempt". He also seems to have something like a fortune sphere builtin, where he sees Credence/Aurelius in in the very next shot.

[@Silver_Girl178]

I'm sure someone has done a fictitious natal chart for Harry, somewhere, but it is possible that some 7-year transit started in 1990-1991, or even back in 1982, and concluded in 1997. Something that meant Harry's life would be stuck in the same resurrection cycle-- neither can live while the other survives-- until it was over.

[@Quintzal]

1. The centaurs spend time with Hagrid. It's not really that surprising that they know about the Philosopher's Stone. 2. Can wizards apirate to the moon? Is there a limit to the distance the spell can go?

[@thedragonwarrior5861]

For the second, I think in the seventh book during Malfoy Manor, when Harry's in Voldemort's head, an apparition range was mentioned

[@lukeroberson2115]

Apparition becomes more and more dangerous the further you go. Even Voldemort isn't willing to apparate from one country to another when both are in Europe. So Apparating to the moon probably is impossible.

Still wild to me that they make a bunch of 11-year-olds stay up until midnight (or maybe 1am, if the class starts at midnight?) every week, for the entire year, right in the middle of the week. Even if they don't also give them a morning class the next day, that's got to mess with their sleep pretty badly.

[@shelbeywelsh4926]

But then they don't have to go to Firenze's divination class at midnight. He gets a special room with dimmed lights, tree's, an enchanted ceiling, to show the stars, and it's on the ground floor, of course because a centaur can't possibly climb one set of stairs easily. Let alone all the way up to the Divination room.

[@edopronk1303]

​​@@shelbeywelsh4926 that's an interesting case and counter argument in itself. If they could give a centaur a magic ceiling with the stars, why bring the students out at midnight for the astronomy classes? They could have given astronomy during the day with a magic ceiling.

[@Jay-ate-a-bug]

Astronomy is defined (by Muggles) as : the study of objects and matter outside the earth's atmosphere and of their physical and chemical properties. Astrology is defined as : the divination of the supposed influences of the stars and planets on human affairs and terrestrial events by their positions and aspects. I would argue that what we are seeing in the Wizarding World is a weird combination of both, but would define it as Astrology, rather than Astronomy. Any Astrophysicist that wishes to advance their career will never mention how any planet/stars/etc. make you moody, or unlucky.

[@geraldgrenier8132]

[@williamtoyfell7969]

Fun fact: Wizardry originally referred specifically to the practice of astrological magic. Wizards would pick astrologically auspicious times for the casting of certain spells, or making talismans to "store" magic at good times to cast spells during bad times. Unlike witchcraft, wizardry was usually legal and considered a part of medicine. Paracelsus and St. Albert the Great were both wizards. "Astrological days" even spread to folk magic to this day: Love spells on fridays, money spells on thursdays, healing on wednesdays, curses on saturdays, etc.

The method of making a horcrux just requires that you tear your soul. Killing someone does this, but I doubt it is the act them dying that does it. I think it is very likely that if you were to torture someone to a breaking point like what was done to the Longbottoms would do it, as would thinking you killed someone without them dying. It seems to me the intent and action upon that intent is what is important as Dumbledore seems fairly sure that it is at least possible Snape killing him wouldn't tear his soul.

I have a Harry Potter theory you might be interested in. Based on the basilisk in the second movie, I think it might not be a snake but instead a legless lizard. My reasoning is that a snakes lower jaw is split in the middle, which allows the mouth to stretch, while the basilisk had a fused lower jawbone, the teeth are different than a venomous snake who has two fangs on top and bottom and even a constrictor has two sets of teeth the basilisk had one set of teeth and is venomous, the basilisk had ear holes while a snakes ears are covered under it's scaly skin, a legless lizard's scales are uniform all around the body as does the basilisk not a snake who has wider scales on its belly allowing it to climb, swim and most importantly slither around without injuring itself, a snake eats large prey whole but the basilisk would need to eat a small giant every other week and most certainly did not have access to that kind of food ever, hagrid would notice animals that big going missing, and a snake doesn't blink or have eyelids instead having a clear scale called a spectacle or eye cap, but the basilisk did have eyelids. It also could be a Wyrm, a legless wingless dragon, but I don't have enough info on wyrms in the Harry Potter universe.

I always thought Dumbledore’s watch in chapter 1 was similar to Mrs. Weasley’s clock. It shows the current position of people which is why he knows Hagrid is late because Hagrid is one of the 12 hands on his watch

[@rhydonbeacham]

Regarding the list of innocents who were killed in the lead-up to the second wizarding war, I would have to say it’s a bit of a stretch to call Barty Crouch Senior innocent, considering that he willingly, albeit probably unknowingly, sent Sirius Black to prison for a crime he didn’t actually commit thereby making Sirius a bit more innocent than Crouch, in comparison.

[@jessicabaum9370]

I would argue Barty Crouch Senior is partially responsible for Voldemort's return. Voldemort relied very heavily on Barty Crouch Junior who would not have joined up with the death-eaters had he had a better relationship with his own father. His intense loyalty to Voldemort stems from seeing him as a father figure who would give him the attention and affirmation that he was desperate for. While I am sure Voldemort would have returned at some point without the help of Barty Crouch Junior, the timing and circumstances would probably have been different.

[@MrJosh20426]

While listening to the latest Through The Griffin Door I had the the thought: I wonder if they’ll make a video about the centaur’s predicting Harry’s death when they get to the chapter in the forest? And now I’m realizing I’ve spent way too much time on Carlin Brothers media.

[@blueserenbippity7066]

I was under the impression that astronomy would be mandatory for potions as well-like how the Polyjuice potion must be brewed for a month, and like one of the ingredients needs to be picked at night during a full moon or something. And I would hazard a guess that certain spells might be affected by the planets or space too. Can you imagine if there was a day when something like Accio or Point Me spell would be extra effective? Or at certain hours of the day? I imagine that’s what arithomancy is for too, learning how to augment magic based on the math of magic. But besides this…I would like to see a “what-if” theory video about if Firenze did not save Harry(or basically, if Voldemort had successfully killed Harry), thus removing Harry as a Horcrux first.

[@edopronk1303]

I like the -planets influence magic- part. I was thinking the same

I think being stabbed in the back by someone he thought was a friend was about Ron’s behavior between the announcing of the champions and the first task. But Harry did drown in his predictions too, I think, which is second task.

Maybe Hagrid told Firenze about the Stone... He shouldn't have said that...😂

[@marianpetera8436]

The stone was definitely moved from Gringotts to Hogwarts, but whether it was done "secretly" is debatable. It was Hagrid who was tasked with its transportation. The same Hagrid who was tricked into telling a total stranger how to get past Fluffy and later revealed the same "secret" to 3 first-year students. The centaurs (and Firenze in particular) are neither strangers to him, nor young students. They certainly could have gotten that piece of information from their stargazing, but there is a much more down-to-earth explanation: Hagrid simply spilled the beans. Astronomy also seeps into other disciplines in the books. Granted, it's mostly the lunar cycle we read the most about, but it's not a big stretch to apply it on other planetary movements. The notorious connection between full moon and lycanthropy, preparation of certain potions, best time to harvest certain herbs etc. Understanding of astronomy seems to be needed in a lot of other subjects, even if it has limited practical application on its own.

[@edopronk1303]

The herbology is an interesting one. There's a spiritual farming branch, bio dynamic farming and they sometimes have an astronomy/astrology calendar for farming.

[@quincyking010]

honestly i think the reason the centaurs dont act isnt just because of the wait for the right moment. i think its because astronomy is subject to change. while the divination prophecies are absolute. it would also back what bane is afraid of. acting can change the outcome if the actions are influenced by astronomy. if they acted to save harry and help the fight and was able to repel voldy then the outcome of the war would have been different maybe this leads to potters death in a different forest without the aid that he had at hogwarts and thus all of the horcuxs cant be destroyed

I think astronomy is useful for things we don't hear about. More complex and ritual like magic.

On the more muggle world level; there's a astronomy/astrology calendar out for farming; when are good times to do certain farming activities. The moon cycles and other planets cycles influences plant growth. So in the magical world, this would be even more the case for herbology.

Do non humans appear on the Marauders map? Firenze, the other centaurs, or the merpeople if they are on Hogwarts grounds do they appear on the map? They aren't human but they aren't animals either.

Ron and Harry's "predictions" are right in other ways too. "Stabbed in the back bu someone you thought was a friend" could mean Ron thinking Harry is a Liar and ghosting him when he's preparing for the first task
