Plot hole 😬

[@anthonyguillory4036]

They can learn new things such as juggling or a few new names but can’t learn empathy, forgiveness or anything that at that point I their life the wouldn’t have been able to learn. (So if they died about to learn Latin but not even close to learning anger management they could learn Latin but not anger management) or that’s how I think of it

Here's my video suggestion: I thought it would be quite interesting learning about the art of wand making. The different woods and cores that can be used and how it influences the loyalty and other aptitudes of the wand. On the same note, I think you mentioned in a previous video how Garrik Ollivander is the one to first introduce the cores he judged best into the wands, as before that, the witch or wizard brought the thing they wanted in it, I think that would also be an interesting thing to discuss As always, I loved your video 💙

It's always a great day when this channel uploads 🙂

speaking of helena, did destruction of the diadem conclude her unfinished business?

I thought Nearly Headless Nick said he returned as a ghost because he was afraid of death. Not because of any unfinished business.

[@arshiaahuja3578]

Trolletuva yeah you are right This was written in the book ORDER OF THE PHOENIX

[@melissacooper4282]

I don't recall that Moaning Myrtle was afraid of death. I remember in The Chamber of Secrets that she came back as a ghost because she wanted to haunt Olive Hornby for teasing her.

[@arshiaahuja3578]

@Melissa Cooper That's right too JK Rowling messed up quite a lot of things

[@angelchavez1141]

You can either have unfinished business or you have attachment problems to the place of death which explains moaning Myrtle‘s reason for being a ghost too

[@nickvell4425]

All Hogwarts known ghosts are Nearly Headless Nick, Bloody Baron, Fat Friar, Helena Ravenclaw, Moaning Myrtle, Lord Draben and Peeves is a spirit.👻

[@starfishhugger6232]

Man it must be super awkward whenever Helena Ravenclaw and Bloody Baron happen to be in the same room.

I'd like to suggest a video on hagrid's brother grawpy what happened to him ? I always thought he was a missed opportunity in the books , I'd like to think hagrid manged to help grawp to find a mate and start a new generation of friendly giants in England they are endangered magical creatures after all

[@Rob17Cotton]

Maybe ghosts get banished too hogwarts if they annoy or haunt wizards or witches , I think myrtle says she got ordered by the ministry of magic to stop haunting olive hornby

Everyone already knows that Moaning Myrtle died because Tom “Voldemort” Riddle let the Basilisk out of the Chamber of Secrets and she looked it in the eye, which Tom later framed Hagrid for.

[@DamonNomad82]

We know from the books that at least some spells affect Peeves. I wonder how many students practiced jinxes, hexes and curses on him. I know I would have. He would have made an already stressful school life nigh-unbearable with his actions.

[@mithosirving]

and while peeves weren't controlled by Fred and George, he did honor their order/request to give Umbridge hell for them, but like you said if peeves is a manifestation of children's mischief in Hogwarts, it makes sense. Hogwarts itself hated Umbridge because it refused to acknowledge her as headmistress, or simply peeves hated her and was going to do it anyway.

Are we not gonna talk about how the ghost looked better in the early films and look very cgi in Deathly Hallows.

[@dimetime35c]

If HP lore follows real life then peeves isn't a ghost. A poltergeist is more a kin to a demon then ghost. I believe I've heard poltergeist are spawned from intense emotions and linger in places with a lot of emotional energy to feed from. A place with a lot of hormonal and emotion teens fits that bill nicely.

[@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning]

There's times when i've wondered what would happen if a Hogwarts House Ghost were to actually manage to 'finish their unfinished business' and finally be able to move on...? Also, Peeves is lucky he's living in a totally different realm & reality from the one the Ghostbusters live in. :P (Also, hard not to be curious if the Harry Potter Realm has more Poltergeists in it than just Peeves & we simply haven't gotten to learn of them yet...)

[@dstr001]

Only thing I dont really agree with is the whole "they cant learn new things" aspect, since wouldnt remembering a students name count? Tbh, Myrtle even tells Harry how to open the egg in Goblet of Fire because she learned how it was done from Cedric.

[@hrushikeshpanchwagh4753]

Another great video, but had a little doubt. You said ghosts can't learn anything new but in another video - 5 most Ravenclaws, you said Helena attended classes and continued reading. Discrepancy? Oh and yeah, I'm a Ravenclaw !

[@laporziuncula]

It can change a patronus but it doesn't have to.

[@elenastanica4621]

She did not learn how to do it from 1st year, the speculation is that she is infatuated with him.

[@pengy897]

Can you do more theories on here?

[@thelurker1330]

Quick question: who do you think would win in a fight: Harrry Potter or Percy Jackson? Please comment if you want to debate

[@tiptwirltv8476]

A Demigod v a wizard...? 🧐 Percy Jackson wins. Harry was a mediocre wizard at best & did he ever finish wizarding school ? He only won because of his super support network - Dumbledore’s well thought out plan, Snape’s love for his mother, Hermione’s intelligence, Ron’s lack of evil ambition, the order etc. While Poseidon rarely helps. Chiron, Grover & Annabeth don’t compare to Harry’s support network. So Percy does most of the heavy lifting and doesn’t need a wand to lethal to Harry. Percy can be revitalised by water when near death. Who’s gonna revive Harry when he’s spent from waving his wand? Plus Harry chose to throw away the elder wand so not a chance.

[@thelurker1330]

Thanks for responding! My thoughts on your statement are in bold. A Demigod v a wizard...? 🧐 Percy Jackson wins. *Agreed* Harry was a mediocre wizard at best *No Harry was actually a great wizard and an amazing dueler* & did he ever finish wizarding school ? He only won because of his super support network - Dumbledore’s well thought out plan, Snape’s love for his mother, Hermione’s intelligence, Ron’s lack of evil ambition, the order etc. *Harry did have a lot of help* While Poseidon rarely helps. Chiron, Grover & Annabeth don’t compare to Harry’s support network. So Percy does most of the heavy lifting and doesn’t need a wand to lethal to Harry. *yep* Percy can be revitalised by water when near death. *This is a big advantage, he’ll essentially never tire out* Who’s gonna revive Harry when he’s spent from waving his wand? *I don’t know if magic makes you tired but him trying to evade Percy definetely would tire him out* Plus Harry chose to throw away the elder wand so not a chance. *completely agree*

It will go about as well as when people pit Gandalf and Dumbledore agaisnt one another. The DemiGod always wins.

I’m sad no one is arguing Harry’s point though, I would’ve loved to debate

[@ExAnimoPortugal]

Filch could be a poltergeist himself. He has a beef with Peeves, people say he's a squib, but it's possible that he is a manifestation of the rules and order in Hogwarts, in the same way Peeves is a manifestation of students' mischief

[@PhilBagels]

If there are that many ghosts at Hogwarts, why do they call the Shrieking Shack the most haunted place in Britain?

[@laporziuncula]

That was just a rumor that was started to explain the noise that came from there during Lupin's transformations. The Shrieking Shack isn't actually haunted and isn't even actually that old of a building. It's an example of rumor embedding false memories about something.

[@PhilBagels]

@@laporziuncula But why would anyone believe it in the first place, since everyone knows about all the ghosts in Hogwarts Castle? It's like building a flimsy shack across the street from Gringott's and then trying to start a rumor that it's the safest bank in the wizarding world. Everyone already knows about Gringott's. They're not going to believe your flimsy shack is safer.

[@starfishhugger6232]

Always wished I could have attended the ghost parties.

[@madisonatteberry9720]

I always felt that Moaning Myrtle should have been the one to kill Voldemort. In a way, it seems fitting, lets say Harry dies, permanently, and Myrtle takes up the sword of Griffondore. Now, yes, there two issues here, one being that Myrtle was Ravenclaw, however, she could have taken it from Longbottom when he pulled the sword out of the sorting hat. The second is of course, the prophecy saying that a 'male' would be Voldemort's demise, again, Shobill (I know a lot of these are misspelled, but honestly, I really don't care), from what my understanding as I never read the books, would often get a few visions wrong, then again, and on a technicality, if Longbottom killed the last piece of Voldemort's soul, then Myrtle finished him off for killing her.

[@beans8130]

Always thought it an odd choice Shirley Henderson played the part or myrtle. Considering she was 37 or so when chamber of secrets released

[@laporziuncula]

Yeah she looked NOTHING like a high school student lol.

[@elenastanica4621]

@@laporziuncula she looked young enough if you ask me.

[@Jo_Wardy]

The ghosts are interesting I wonder how many famous wizards and witches from Hogwarts came back as ghosts.

[@evy2031]

Please make a video about this: if sacrifice is a valid way to stop the killing curse, why is harry considered to be the first to survive it? Surely, other wizards have sacrificed themselves in the past? It strange to me how Harry is the first to survive in this manner.

[@Rob17Cotton]

That's a very good question, maybe harry potter is the first to survive the killing curse by sacrifishel means thats been witnessed, this theory is very good, it needs exploring in more depth.

[@aleph9006]

What I dont understand is, if the school was built in the 11th century, why are the Bloody Baron and the Grey Lady dressed like 17th century French court nobles? Men in wigs didn't really come about until the end of the 16th century. Also you might not know but Mertle haunted Olive Hornby until the day she died. She was always in the corner, and would appear to Olive occasionally. One memorable time was at Olive's wedding. Myrtle settled down in Hogwarts after Olive's death.

[@Zuvorr]

They don’t learn anymore? How do they know who Harry Potter is then?

If the ghosts can’t learn anything new than #5 shouldn’t be held accountable for not knowing his students name or change the way he teach since he knows nothing else

[@laporziuncula]

The house ghosts learn the students names so Binns could have. Nick knows all the gryffindors, and many students from other houses, and the Bloody Baron knows the slytherins. I believe the Fat Friar knows many students also.

[@ItsN3rdz]

[@thatoneguy9485]

what happened to them during and after the battle of Hogwarts?

I find it hard to believe the ghosts cant learn. They are shown to meet and remember interactions with students and other ghosts. Also how would professor Binns be able to teach any history that happened after he died?

[@SolarBlyze]

So we know that there are many, many, ghosts that inhabit Hogwarts. My question is.. why? Why are there so many ghosts in this one place? What happened to tie them all to the school of all places? The majority also seem to be from around the same era, which just begs more questions.

[@gaymer1710]

The argument from the chamber of secrets is invalid. It was his 500th deathday party, I garentee he has met other ghosts in 500 years. It is completely logical to think that a whole lot of ghosts came to his party from outside of the castle, especially since the headless hunt came, none of which actually reside at the castle
