​@@workingstiff0586"It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather is in your wand, gave another feather - just one other. It is very curious indeed that you should be destined for this wand when its brother, gave you that scar. Yes, thirteen-and-a-half inches. Yew." This is the quote from Ollivander. So its yew, 13.5 inches long and has a phoenix feather core is all we know. I checked out on google the color, but funnily enough Holly seems to be a lighter/creamy colored wood while the Yew wood is darker/yellower. Interesting artistic choice by filmmakers

[@jasoncrews4249]

I think Pureblood preferential treatment might be the reason for why Sirius and the Death Eaters were all able to get their wands back. They very well may have been able to have their family homes hold their wands before they went to Azkaban. We know the Ministry and Wizengamot was still corrupt enough to keep some of the more powerful families free. Hagrid wasn’t even fully human so no one important enough was going to argue for him to have his wand held by them other than Dumbledore, who likely pulled enough favors to keep Hagrid out of Azkaban the first time.

[@TerezkaPekarova]

I am not sure but didn’t Ollivander himself said in the Deathly Hallows that he had made new wands for all the Death Eaters? Perhaps someone else had made those they had at the Ministry. Ron, for example, had second wand and it served him well, so it may be like the Death Eaters original wands, right?

[@marcinz.3570]

Peter knew about Voldemorts plan, and realized something went wrong when Voldemort didn’t return soon. The same night he went to the potters, found the wand in the rubbles, and HID it. Before Dumbledore or the ministry could get there. Kept it hidden, somewhere, all the time until Voldemort’s return

[@evaengeorgesledoux7527]

That's my idea, I only thought that there is no reason why Peter would not have accompanied Voldie to the Potters house. I can think of many reasons why i did that. I presume there where a lot of people at that house after the incident. Because Dumbledore SEND Hagrid to pick uip Harry. So he allready knew the Potters where dead, but Harry survived. There for somebody must have told him. And that or those person(s) where at the house before Hagrid and would have found Voldies wand. My guess is that the wand was retrevid by a deatheater, beofre anyone else got at the scene. So Voldie was accompanied by a deatheater. It would make sense that is was Peter.

The reason for that autofill with the shampoo is that, back in the day, if you typed in "I hate it when", it gave some super weird autofills like "I hate it when a chinchilla eats the universe" or "I hate it when i'm studying and someone rides a velociraptor through the house" and, yes, you guessed it "I hate it when Voldemort steals my shampoo". Why would that be an autofill? No idea, but noone ever figured any of the others out either.

I have just thought that Dumbledore may have planned this "Chosen" thing and orchestrated Peter's becoming the secret keeper and then Voldemort's killing the Potters. He pushed Voldemort to this as he thought it was the only option for him to kind of tie the dark wizard. I know it's too dark a theory for a children's book but I like such stuff and it would be great to have the seemingly best character so ruthless "for the greater good"

[@icyveins21]

I saw what you did there👌🏼

[@apresc7264]

Why does Voldemort still call Peter Petigrew Wormtail (wormbutt)? I think it is a form of torture: a constant reminder of his identity as a best friend to Lupin (Moony), Sirius (Padfoot), and especially the Potters (James being Prongs). His true childhood friends that he betrayed out of fear and selfish need to protect himself; sacrificing them. Like Dumbledor says words are an inexhaustible source of magic, capable of INFLICTING INJURY (appropriate to wormtail) or remedying it (not in this case). Plus as much as Voldemort knows Peter didn't deliberately betray him by sending him to the Potters the night Voldemort killed Harry's parents, he would be eternally angry at Peter for his mistake.

[@chansehogge3362]

I always kind of thought it was obvious how Voldemort found the Chamber. In my mind, it went one of two ways. 1.) He heard about the Hogwarts founders, more importantly Salazar Slytherin, and found out that he was a Parselmouth as well. This would lead him to digging into everything he can find about Slytherin, snakes, and anything remotely connecting himself to Slytherin. 2.) The Basilisk called out to Tom, the way it did with Harry, and told him how to set it free. Where it was and how to get there and all that.

[@xarenanotmyrealname4134]

⚠️Off topic from video, day eight of asking for what ifs⚠️ 1: What if Dudley went to Hogwarts? I think he'd be a Hufflepuff and be pretty good at defense against the dark arts and I think it would be fun to have him be good at divination cause none of the golden trio are good at or even seem to respect it. 2: What if Aang died with the other Air nomads and one of the other main characters eventually became the Avatar? I think the most interesting would be Sokka and Zuko. 3: What if Prim became the Mockingjay? The only way I see this happening is if Katniss gets caught hunting and either gets killed or sent to the Capital and becomes an avox, a year or two before Prims game so she gets some survival skills not as good as Katniss but better than nothing.

[@elderscrollsswimmer4833]

[@kharanraj6546]

My theory is that Peter stole Voldemort’s wand and stashed it somewhere as a insurance policy, he sees the Dark Mark and knows Voldemort isn’t dead, so he goes into hiding and hides the wand in case he’s ever discovered and needs someone to protect him, the wand would be useful as a please don’t kill me gift to Voldemort.

[@runngameentertainment]

I feel like a better explanation for the wand wouldve been that it was collected by Aurors and stored in some area of the ministry. Then when Voldemort was om the path to return one of his loyalists in the ministry retrieved it. This could also have been used to build out thr universe. Explain that the wands of criminals are stored in some magical containment. Use this to build out wand lore about the connection between wand and wizard. Perhaps it's useful in investigation, trying to determine all the horrible things Voldemort did they may not know yet. Or perhaps it's deemed a truly horrible thing to in the Wizarding world to destroy a wand given their sentience. That would require a retcon on Hagrids wand though. I can see this done in a few ways. One, it has to do with the disrespect of half breeds, that since Hagrid is half giant they didn't have the same respect for his wand. His wand could've been taken and "lost" with Dumbledore stealing it back and transforming it into the umbrella, or with Hagrids original wand being taken and Dumvledore commissioning Ollivander in secret to make a new one. This could even lead to a cool moment where Hagrid eventually manages to retrieve his original wand, perhaps Harry steals it back one of the times he infiltrates the ministry, with Harry returning it to him and there being a scene where Hagrid sees it, tears up, and goes "Hello old friend". I also like that by delving into the sentience of wands could lead to an even more special relationship between wizards and their wand, perhaps their wands could almost be like familiars, with the wizard being able to telepathically communicate with their wand if the bond is strong enough. As a side note I just thought of, that would be super cool if that meant that the wand could potentially transform into a familiar, representative of both the core and the wizard they are bonded to.

The Death Eaters' wands are most likely in the hidden vault in Malfoy Manor. Draco does mention that his father has some "very valuable Dark Arts stuff", so I don't think it's entirely impossible that some Death Eater wands could be in there as well. No idea about Sirius regaining his though. He could just be using a family member's wand - Grimmauld Place was chock full of magical artifacts after all.

[@proclarushtaonasat]

I think, the reason why wormtail had to take lupins wand to transform, was because they used a spell to forcefully revert him back to human before, and not because it is inherently necessary to transform. Like, turning him back into human would be pointless, if he could just transform again, so they likely disabled this transformation with some sort of form-lock, which needed to be removed, before he could transform again.

[@CarmenElRose]

You know, as far as I remember, in my language, Polish they didn't translate Mr. Spooky's name at all. They just put it exactly how it is in English version - tom marvolo riddle to I am lord voldemort - and they just added polish translation under asterisk. I thought it was cool, it made me feel like it is indeed happening in UK. And I remember loving this moment as a kid too so it wasn't much of a problem that they didn't translate it to Polish. To be honest, Polish translation was excellent. It was soo good. They left all the names and certain things that were better for it in English and every single thing that was translated was done masterfully, keeping the playfulness of the original.

[@doomofthedestiny8065]

Theory one, Hagrid with Tom's wand... my first thought was to dismiss it and even form a counter idea- but- it actually makes some sense, remember: broken wands misfire spells. Maybe it's THAT wand in the umbrella and he just let's people assume it's his old one... That said- it is possible Peter came with voldermort and stayed outside. Mostly because voldermort would want Peter close by in case he was lying about where his dear friends were hiding. Thus he does get the Wand right away, but stashes it somewhere before his fight with Sirius. Either works...

[@shannoncampbell9276]

I enjoyed the awesome alliteration. I assumed Hagrid got his wand snapped because he would be expelled and therefore would never be a fully qualified wizard and therefore having a wand may make him a more dangerous threat to the secrecy issue.

Dumbledore was wrong....or he lied to avoid telling harry that the magic was performed....by non other than the horcrux inside harry...doing what horcruxes are MADE to do, which is, to protect their container. Harry did not want to die on that occasion, and so, the horcrux protected him.

[@nfpnone8248]

Become evil, he was evil from birth, and that strain of insanity running through his mother’s family tree didn’t help.

[@blueredlover1060]

I actually believe that before Sirius got to the Potter's house Peter did. Think about it this way. Peter told Voldemort about the house and ultimately betrayed the secret to them. If we assume that Voldemort was going to be rather quick about the killings and move on, as was at least somewhat indicated. When he's not back quickly, Peter checks things out, realizes what happens, and grabs the wand at that time. Sirius notices Peter leaving the house, find the Potters dead, and chases after him. You can keep your wand when you transform as an animagus. Peter tactfully left his wand to frame Sirius and went into exile.

[@sailorbychoice1]

56:00 I have a different Voldy origin theory.. I think Tom Riddle (the muggle) was a rich landowner, and a heal of a person. Merope Gaunt was a poor girl (from his POV) who lived in a rathole of a house, either on or next to his family's estate, (again from his POV) her care givers (brother and father) were suddenly missing and she obviously alone and unchaperoned, and had an obvious crush on the handsome landlord (himself). I think he took advantage of her as a lark~ perhaps something to kill an idle afternoon's itch, but she then came up pregnant, as was the expected custom of the times he did marry her to legitimize the pregnancy, and perhaps he had become somewhat fond of his victim, in a way; until just before her father and brother were due to be released from Azkaban, she confessed to him of her being a witch and they wizards, with perhaps a warning that they may not look favorably on their mixed blood offspring~ perhaps even performing some low level~ spot on the wall~ spell to convince him (as she wasn't especially skilled as a witch). He then assumed she had ensorcelled him and any fond feelings he may have developed were the result of some spell or brew... And could be blamed for any bad behavior on his part... The Magic Made Me Do It... And That's Why He Left Her When He Did.

[@theduelist92]

I mean i've always assumed Voldy's first Horcrux was the Ring. He has the Ring when he's asking Slughorn about Horcruxes and we know for a fact that if he has the ring he already killed multiple people. He asked Slughorn for an opinion on what would happen if someone tried to make multiple Horcruxes and Dumbledore even says that he (Voldy) probably already knew how to make one Horcrux. If he had already made more than one (Diary and then Ring) asking Slughorn wasn't really necessary, and Voldy knows well how dangerous it is for him to ask those questions. We also know that he made the Ring a Horcrux with the death of Tom Riddle, so he couldn't possibly have gotten the Ring, Horcruxed the Diary and then Horcruxed the Ring. And lastly Memory Tom (from the diary) knew about Tom Riddle and we can reasonably assume that he found out during the night in wich he killed them and made the Ring a Hocrux. So yes, how does anyone even think the Diary was first? xD

[@layneathebutterfly4959]

For those who are confused Year 1: 11-12yrs Year 2: 12-13yrs Year 3: 13-14 yrs Year4: 14-15yrs Year5: 15-16yrs Year6: 16-17yrs Year7: 17-18yrs Toms birthday is in the "middle" of the school year. So he is bort on december 31 1926 When he starts school he is 11 and 1/2 in year 1937 The sumer between 4th and 5th year he is 15 and will turn 16 during year 5 So if you count that type first your is between 0-1 year old. That would men that your 1st year ends and your 2nd year begins on your 1 yea birthday. So his sixthteenth year begins after his 15th birthday

[@PalmelaHanderson]

I notice a lot of people say Voldemort is basically born evil because he was born out of deception or whatever. I don't like that idea. It goes against one of the core themes of the story - that we are defined by our choices, not our abilities or our blood. Having Voldemort just be destined to be bad goes against that.

[@resathe6760]

I would have to read that exact part again but I think Dumbledore explicitely says that Voldemort can't feel love because of the way he was conceived. So that would pretty much doom him from the start. I don't really like it either but the evidence is very much in favour of it being true

[@BrettSmashy]

Wande Diem would mean “Wand the Day!” Seize the wand should be “Carpe Magicum!” or “Carpe Virgula!”

[@rationaltrekker2509]

My theory is that Wormtail was very close-at-hand when Voldemort attacked and saw everything go wrong. He entered (or was already inside as a rat), saw James and Lily dead, Harry still alive, and Voldemort's wand lying where it had dropped to the floor. and took it. Whether or not it was a reasonable expectation, in his reverence for Voldemort, he hid it away in some secret place he alone would know and wouldn't be easily found by accident, for the day Voldemort returned. He would have recognised that this might never happen, but if anyone could pull it off, it would be Voldemort, in Wormtail's estimation. During his time playing Scabbers, he learns that Dumbledore knows that his master is in an Albanian forest in some form or another, and checks on the wand to be sure it's safe. After finding him, Wormtail tells Voldemort that he has his wand hidden. At some point, then, possibly not even until shortly before the night in Little Hangleton, he retrieves Voldemort's orders so that he has it at hand when Voldemort returns in his full body. It's likely that he has to prove to Voldemort that he has the wand safely hidden shortly after finding him to gain Voldemort's minimal confidence in his loyalty and ability, however minimal Voldemort continues to think they are.

[@RyanHaney55]

I'm reminded of the Run-D.M.C. song "Peter Piper" - Now Peter Piper picked peppers, but Run rocked rhymes.

[@charlesstarr1]

I’m sure you’ve mentioned this before, but I’m thinking Dumbledore would want Voldemort to have his original wand. If its Phoenix feather core came from Fawkes, then the wand would have an undying loyalty to Dumbledore, no? And that would explain, at least partially, how Voldy was never able to harm Albus.

[@BLTproductions10]

For the Diary, could Voldemort have wanted to create his own powerfully magical object to put himself equal to the founders? With Slytherin’s ring giving the instructions to the entrance, the diary works very similarly, but a key difference being anyone could open the Chamber with the diary (or at least be made to open it, like Ginny). Also, since these were the first two horcruxes made, it seems like the diary being made was more intentional to carry on the use of the Chamber with Slytherin’s lineage at an end and the ring being hidden by Voldemort. This lines up with what Tom told Harry down in the Chamber as well, not wanting to waste his years searching for it.

[@Cocolassticot]

In French it is Jedusor, Wich is a wordplay on "jeu du sort" , Wich can be interpreted in different ways. Un sort is a spell, a magic trick, but le sort is also destiny, fate. Jeu is game/play. So the french translation refers to the bad trick of destiny that gave birth to Voldemort.

[@durgadasidortherasmussen9982]

you forget about Snape, who also sits and holding Lilly after she is killed, He is a deatheater, maybe it was scrautch junior who took it from snape, when he went for pollyjuice elecsire

[@daveyevans2124]

Wormtail being the one to tell Voldemort where Lilly and James were hiding probably knew when Voldemort was going after them and could have been waiting nearby. After the spell backfired and destroyed the house, he retrieved the wand before hiding it somewhere, maybe in the belief that Voldemort hadn't actually died and keeping his wand safe might allow him to live should Voldemort want revenge. Then Sirius tracked him down and he decided to spend the rest of his days as a rat.

I hated how Voldy disintegrated in the movie. The book was perfect because Voldemort always considered himself practically an immortal god, but he died like an ordinary man. No fanfare, no magical aftereffects, just a corpse hitting the ground. His disintegrating in the movie made his death seem special and honestly, put in doubt that he even was dead. In these types of movies, if you don't see the body, they're not dead, especially considering a disintegrating body was what happened the first time he tried to kill Harry (otherwise if he had left a body there wouldn't have been any mystery as to what happened to him)

[@scobeysnaxx2476]

The alliteration was impressive but was indredibly distracting 😂

[@ForgeTSM]

when it comes to the death eaters wands they had people in the minestry they could have been designated to be destroyed but the death eaters in the minestry simply absoncded with them and left a paper trail that said it had been destroyed

[@Bradferd333]

An idea for a mini series: Peter’s journey to find Voldemort and give him his wand. Let’s call it, “Worm Tale”

[@HarryJenkins-c2s]

with the Sisyphus theory is that every time the rock rolled back down Sisyphus believed he would accomplish his goal the next time like how Voldemort always thought he would beat harry the next time

[@orangetuxedoman]

I Love this. Do this with All your Elder Wand Theories.

[@emorynicole1012]

You’ve become my comfort show!

[@animeguygaming4803]

voldemort just got thanos snapped haha that was bloody brilliant

[@DragonArbock]

How are we actually sitting here, saying that the diary is not the first horcrux created? It absolutely is, and the appearance of tom riddle's 'ghost' is how old he would have been at the time of making it. And this lines up perfectly with us knowing that he asked Slughorn about horcrux's when still in school.

[@filip5010]

Hey guys, I just thought of an interesting topic: Since house elfs can apparate anywhere, can they break their masters out of Azkaban if they call them to appear? Love your chanel, keep it up, hi from Macedonia!

[@EmiLusi303]

So in HPPOS (prince of slytherin) it is revealed that (SPOILER) When myrtle dies Voldemort is devastated so uses ocllumency to shut down his love. “And so, alongside myrtle, Tom died with her” I quote the book.

[@raemill4089]

I think Peter was there the night Voldy attacked the Potters. He watched from a distance, saw the explosion and was first on scene to inspect the damage. He saw Voldy's wand and grabbed it and ran. No one knew if Voldy was dead or if he fled after the failed attack. Peter could have stashed the wand somewhere safe, maybe thinking Voldy would later come for it and he could curry favor with him, before Siruis tracked him down and he blew up the block and transformed into a rat with his own wand and left his wand on scene. I believe his wand was likely destroyed in the explosion, hence him having no wand and no way to change back to human for thir-tween-years.

[@hhiimmddoo]

The vape form of dip. Haven’t thought of it that way but that is completely accurate

[@jwaall228]

Perhaps Dumbledore retrieved it after Lily and James’ demise and stored it in Hogwart. Then when Peter was running around Hogwarts in Goblet of Fire he retrieves it and gives it to Barty Crouch Jr?…

[@prigg88]

Theory 1: how Voldemort gets his wand back. Theory 2: how Voldemort finds the chamber of secrets/horcrux order Theory 3: Voldemort is Sisyphus Theory 4: the diary is the unintended horcrux Theory 5: Voldemort Google auto-fill

[@cshendge4663]

Nobody knew for certain what happened to the dark lord when he killed the Potters. They wouldn't have known to even look for a wand. Considering they left the house in ruins as a tribute it doesn't seem implausible that the wand would still be there for Peter to find after PoA. Also, it wouldn't make sense for Hagrid to have it for two reasons. 1) your timeline is off. Peter as a rat was in his hut before using Lupin's wand to transform himself. Thus meaning he had Voldemort's wand with him during that confrontation. 2) Hagrid is a mighty superstitious person. He wouldn't dare pickup the most evil wand in the world.

[@dannydethanos6994]

I wonder if his wand was destroyed and Peter collected the core. That makes the most sense to me, Harry’s wand just kills itself with a backfired spell and Ron’s was broken by a car crash.

[@meacadwell]

I'm not sure about this one. Hagrid isn't allowed a wand, which is why his is hidden in an umbrella. If Hagrid found a wand at the Potter's house he would have turned it over to Dumbledore who would've either recognized it himself or he would've taken it to Ollivander's for help in figuring out the owner. So, it wouldn't have been languishing at Hagrid's house for all those years. Dumbledore would've had it put into a bank vault or some other place for safekeeping knowing eventually Voldy, or one of his minions would be back for it. And, if not, it would be safe for another generation.

[@user-ui2br1ly3p]

Dumbledore's horcruxes, I don't know how hackneyed this idea is, but I only realized it now. The Deluminator is a Horcrux that forced Ronald to run away from Harry and Hermione and then return. Possibly appearing after the guilt of Sirius' death, Dumbledore came at the wrong time, perhaps intentionally. Or after the death of Alastor Moody, whose body was never found after battle with the eaters. His copy of Bill the Bard's Tales is an example of how he could read to his little sister, guilt for the death he had experienced all his life. The book that guided Hermione on their journey, and who knows, maybe also pushed her towards Ron after? Snitch from first year - The last of the Horcruxes that settled in Harry when he came to terms with self-sacrifice. Snitch from the first year, when Professor Quirrell died, the one who was lured into a trap for a year. And yes, why fight a stubborn teenager for his body if in a few years you can convince him not to fight? And are you sure Harry is awake? but that's just a theory, or not ? 🤷

[@jorgerichmond6979]

So Pettigrew was with Voldemort when he attacked Harry. Saw him get killed. Sirius shows up and Peter flees with the wand. Sirius catches him and Pettigrew uses Voldemorts wand and it blows up all the muggles.

[@DiamondDrakonsplayz-kb6hv]

I have a theory. It isn't about Voldemort, but I've been thinking about this for years and I want to comment now before I forget. What if muggle born witches and wizards are just descended from squibs, because mother was supposedly a squib before her dad died but then she gained her magic back, so what if squibs still have magic in there DNA it just isn't enough to access or something like that, so somewhere along the line one of their descendants has to gain access to that magic or maybe the child of two people who are descended from squibs would have magic. Just a thought.

[@HpToujoursPur]

Crazy that Voldemorts wand survived his Killing Curse "rebounding" and blowing up the Potters cottage yet Harrys broke because Hermiones Blasting Curse rebounded. Pretty sure Voldys spell should have a bigger oomph

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

I just did the laundry and while I was folding the new laundry I was thinking “Rats…the clothes I’m wearing right now are becoming dirty laundry and the laundry I’m folding right now will be dirty by next week and I’ll have to do the laundry all over again in about a week…” Then Ben had his great speech about laundry so right now especially I totally get that speech 😂

[@FilippRodovilski]

Maybe I missing part of the lore but isn't it much more likely Peter found the wand after the death of Lily and James, Sirius saw him escaping which helped him, and only him, realize what happened thus setting the chase because only he knew at the time what actually happened and telling Hagrid at the scene that it was Voldemort. And Peter just put the wand in hiding for all these years until the right moment.

[@Dynamic_Aerial_Adventures]

I find it very interesting that old voldy didn't make the Basilisk into a horcrux. It holds special meaning and has lived for over 1000 years

[@igor4e]

The letter word play in this episode is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 well done writers!

[@richardchisenhall387]

Just another thought, Dumbledore is super sneaky, it's really lucky he grew a conscience bc he would've been a menace if he stayed to a darker path

[@fredkaanapu8693]

Legit just very excited that your discussing greek mythos 😁 34:12

[@jorgnocke991]

I'm curious about how a magical version of ChatGPT would function in the world of Harry Potter. Would it be a talking book, a magical portrait, or perhaps something completely different? How do you think wizards and witches would interact with it?"
