Not enough people mention the implications of a Death Eater having the eye for a whole year. That could have been so much more impactful than it was.

[@robertfredericks3139]

I wonder if they didn't understand its power until they were already committed to the plan and turning back would have set off too many alarms.

So now we need a What If series concerning Dumbledore’s Hallows. The eye(replaces the stone), the deluminator (replaces the cloak), and Hagrid’s umbrella (replaces the wand). What if Voldemort believed in the hallows and sought them all out, and Harry had to use Dumbledore’s newly created hallows to combat them?

[@edeepolyakovsky7201]

This would be so awesome but I think the eye would replace the cloak and the deluminator would replace the stone. SCB made a video before theorizing that Dumbledore made the deluminator as an attempt to recreate the powers of the stone (i.e. reaching your loved ones) and in this video they talk about the eye’s power to see through the cloak. The three objects are almost like anti-Hollows. The eye penetrates the cloak, the deluminator brings you to your loved ones, but only if they are alive unlike the stone which shows you your dead loved ones but can’t bring you to them, and Hagrid’s umbrella is a humble wand which people are led to believe is not even actually a wand, while the elder wand is famous and believed to be the most powerful wand of all. Anyway, a What If? video about this would be great!

[@kayleighlehrman9566]

Harry is already the bona fide master of the Cloak, there's no way Tom could get it without first killing Harry and then after that he'd have no reason to pursue the Wand or the Stone.

[@coolnerdlll6053]

So it's the plot of Endgame, but with Hallows instead of Infinity Stones? One of the Hallows is literally the Soul Stone, after all.

[@jamesshipman6183]

​@edeepolyakovsky7201 I never considered that. That is now my head canon. Thanks!

[@_pearl_]

@@edeepolyakovsky7201yes!!

[@maxstone3779]

Your missing one additional fact. Dumbledore would have the cloak at the time the eye was made. Dumbledore said he wanted to study it. The eye could have been made as part of the studying process to see what it would take to see through it. So the eye could have been made before Moody needed it. Also, also Dumbledore knew James as a kid. So the eye could have been made even earlier. But it makes more sense it was done when Dumbledore was studying the cloak.

[@surferdude4487]

I had the same thought.

[@olandir]

I completely forgot that Moody got his eye after Voldemort fell. I always thought it was much earlier. Given how cautious Moody is, there's no way he would just use any old magical artifact, especially one of unknown origin to replace his eye. So at the very least he must have gotten it from Dumbledore (who else would he trust?) From that logic, Dumbledore making it isn't a huge leap as he wouldn't give Moody something he didn't 100% trust himself and the only way to do that would be to make it. Somewhat circular logic but it does make sense in context.

[@thedragonwarrior5861]

What puzzles me about the Eye is how many “layers” can it see through? We know it can see through the Cloak. We also know that it can see through clothing (He can see the socks from Dobby under Harry’s dress robes at the Yule Ball). It can also see through the floor/ceiling and furniture (he sees the boggart at Headquarters in Order). Can he (literally) see through people and their clothes? Can he see anywhere in a building? Is there a limit? Does he have to consciously think what he wants to focus on? (That sounds mentally exhausting, overstimulating, and taxing.) is this mentioned anywhere? What do y’all think?

[@randomwriter9570]

God that would be a NIGHTMARE. Also... I don't like the implications of seeing through people's clothes considering this is a school... for children...

[@KrivitskyM]

I interpret this as the Eye can see everything, but to look past the regular vision its owner must focus on the object and wish to unveil the layers.

Ok, but...how can Dumbledore see through the cloak with his plain eyes when Death can't see through it? Did he use the elder wand to permanently enhance his own vision? If so, I wonder if the fake eye he gave to Moody was really just the practice go before using the spell on himself.

[@BeastlyP1g]

Ben's explanation to this is that the tale involving Death is just folklore. Meaning the character of "Death" doesn't actually exist.

[@camwyn256]

I believe Dumbledore didn't actually see through the cloak, but rather through intuition deduced that they were there, mostly through how Hagrid was acting

I am not sold on the idea that the eye was made by Dumbledore, thou he might have helped enchanting it. However I feel like the biggest misconception is with the, "ability to Invisibility Cloaks". I don't think the eye can see beneath an invisibility cloak, it can simply see a protection spell in effect. And that may have something to do with the color blue, and how that arbsorbs light from sources.

[@therealsarlic4702]

It’s confirmed the eye can see through Harry’s cloak, because in the same scene where he sees Harry under it, he sees Harry mouthing and pointing at the Marauders Map telling Moody that it belongs to him, so Snape won’t take it.

[@DownToRace]

Something that’s always bothered me a little is how Barry Crouch Jr is so adamant that he hated death eaters who went free, effectively denouncing their allegiance with Voldy, yet, during his hearing he displays determined denial of his own guilt. Belatrix, on the other hand, continues her bold support of Voldemort in the face of conviction. It just seems as though it’s a bit against character, given how he is later revealed to be.

[@taberquigley]

The delaminator was most likely borrowed to be able to put the lights out without casting spells, as Harry was going to be on trial for underage magic, which is also why they rode brooms to 12 grimould place. Although as you’ve pointed out before, seems ridiculous because of all of the magic that Tonks does when picking him up.

HEYY BROTHERRR!!! ❤️💙 I have a question that I thought you guys could ponder. If Harry was presented with a QILIN from Fantastic Beasts, would it bow to him because he has got a part of VOLDEMORTS SOUL in him as well??? Or is Harry too pure???

[@timothygodwin7575]

Not trying to say I’m anywhere near as good at answering this stuff as the carlin bros are, not even close, but in my opinion it definitely 100,000% would’ve bowed for Harry. It bowed for Dumbledore and Harry is a thousand times more pure than him. Honestly i think the one thing that makes Harry special is his purity and that’s saying something because there’s a lot that makes him special.

[@Soph1aF]

I love your channel!

[@TheEddie1910]

I like this much more than the „it came from Grindelwald“ thing that sometimes comes up and just relies on Grindy having one normal, but strikingly blue eye. What adds to this theory is that when Dumbledore would have supposedly created the eye, he would also have possessed the cloak so he could have tested the eye thoroughly to make sure it pierces cloaks.

[@nancycollins8824]

Love the stick & shine pages!

[@morrigankasa570]

I've always thought the eye was created by the Peverells around the time they created the other objects. But this is an interesting theory.

Also the deluminator being used to help Ron find his way back after Hermione speaks his name is somewhat similar to the taboo on Voldemorts name. I believe the difference is it seems to mainly be with a loved one when it comes to the deluminator.

I have a theory that Dumbledore's half-moon glasses showed him more than improved vision. I think they were a magical object that revealed possible futures.

[@amiriclehello9337]

It is likely the eye sends out constant variations of the revelio charm. This would also be a great explanation as to why it can see through the cloak. Recall in chamber of secrets Dumbledore is able to use homenium revelio to reveal Harry beneath the cloak

[@dime-a-thousand8002]

I was wondering this just a day or 2 ago, I have just started the video so before I watch it I'm guessing it was Dumbledore using the Elder Wand to make the eye and that's what gives it the power to even pass the power of Harry's Invisibility Cloak despite it being a Deathly Hallow.

[@blueberrycranberrycherry]

I think the cloak and the eye are ancient magic, that’s how dumbledore could see the cloak, or know it was there, he can sense ancient magic, like he did in the cave

[@camwyn256]

I think it's much simpler than that. Dumbledore didn't see through the cloak. He simply deduced they were hiding there under it because of how Hagrid was acting. Especially with Hagrid just saying out loud, to no one in particular, "follow the spiders"

[@blueberrycranberrycherry]

@@camwyn256 he didn’t see them, he sensed the ancient magic, and knew the cloak was ancient magic

Love your breakdowns, always so entertaining. Right or wrong, I have to agree this take of Mad Eye Moody’s eye makes sense to me

[@jonahthrane812]

My head canon as to how the eye was made was the youngest brothers descendants made it at one point. Or by the youngest brother himself. Imagine your son having taken the cloak one day, and you can't find your kids, because they are perfectly invisible, so you invent an eye to see even those hidden by your ancestors cloak.

[@sunilpermaul7876]

This theory about Dumbledore creating the eye with the Elder Wand has been my personal theory for so long. I've actually commented about it on some of your videos. I'm super happy you've created a video about this theory because it makes so much sense :D

[@bookworm3005]

I love this!

[@Aaron__Parker]

What if Harry wasn't the true master of the cloak? If you think about it, the cloak stayed in the bloodline because it was handed down through the generations. However, James was killed while he lent the cloak to Dumbledore. What if the cloak's loyalty could be won like the elder wand? In that case, Harry was never fully concealed by its protection.

[@levimurphy9046]

What an exciting theory. I subscribe it makes a lot of sense

[@Feluffle]

Whilst it is possible and maybe even probable Dumbledore made they eye, I have a few issues with the theory (theories I guess). 1. Do we know the Elder Wand really could repair wands? We only see it in this one specific case where Harry is the owner of both wands, so we can't really say whether it can repair others. I always wondered what happened to Dumbledore's original wand and whether he just magicked that into an umbrella for Hagrid? It doesn't really matter either way, as if the EW could repair wands, Dumbledore would have done. 2. I don't think Dumbledore could see Harry under the coat at Hagrid's, I think he just used intuition. Hagrid was being rather obvious by looking at that corner and being all jittery. To anyone who knew Harry possessed the cloak, it would have been clear he was there. That or he just saw him walk there earlier from his office window or used non-verbal magic. That's sorta it, I do believe Dumblie created the eye, but the biggest question that remains: WHAT DOESE THE BOGGART LOOK LIKE TO MOODY (when he sees it through several floors)?! Sorry for shouting, but I've been asking myself that for years. Is it a shapeless mass or something he fears? Also that whole seeing through clothes thing is mega creepy considering he's at a school... How does it work? Does he have to focus on it to look through it? It seems a little head-fornicating otherwise.

[@hoppingwren]

Can we do a J vs Ben which is buzz in style - so quizmaster plays a clip from the audiobook and whoever can buzz in the fastest to say what book it is from and the context gets a point!

[@aglet1321]

I LOVE THIS THEORY

[@feuerundluft]

Hey! Love your Videos and particulary your theories! I had a question: Could it be possible that Voldemort also had a time turner in school? He is Always described as being a fantastic Student and even without muggle studies, he would have had 11 subjects (Hermione still had one after she quid Trelawnys class) And I think it could be argued that He had all Others considering that you would need a lot of subjects to be viewed as one of the best students Hogwarts ever had and be ready for a great future in the ministery. Edit: Especially in year 5 he could have used the extra time to search for the chamber of secrets and of course to keep a close eye in Hagrid (although maybe He entrusted his followers with the latter).

[@thegamedevcave]

i very much like this theory, i've always been a bit "meh" on you guys' idea that it was somehow grindewald's blue eye, just didn't seem to fit or make all that much sense, but i have no trouble accepting that dumbledore with the elder wand could make something on par in ability with a deathly hallow, really nicely put together this one!

[@darajeeling]

I love your theories, they are always so good and even after 20+ years make me reread and think about things in the books. Have you ever consdered, doing a theory on Harry s soul part and how it affects his feelings towards people? The abilities (like being more resilient against the Imperio) it might help him achieve? I had a discussion specifically about Harry being able to resist "Moody s" Imperio and the little voice coming up in his head for it. is it Harry s subconsiousness or is it Voldemort, who does not want to be controlled? Also... Could the part of Voldemorts soul be the reason Harry has this HUGE dilke towards Snape (in the books) - because up until Goblet the soul piece might think Snape a traitor? The sould pievce is sort of my "look up point" for my current reread.

[@kandipiatkowski8589]

Since Barty Jr had both eyes, maybe Mad Eye didn't need to be without one. It looks like a monocle. It could have been used similar to his "Foe glass" or a Sneakoscope.

[@setogod7]

as the form factor of the films are faster so might be miss remembering it for the film version but when Barty could not take any more potion you hear and see him in pain as i takes it off i would think his normal eye was going back pushing against Moody's eye

I don't know if my 2 comments a few weeks ago had any impact on this video or theory regarding the comments on Dumbeldore's eye color and the possibilitiy that Dumbeldore both made the eye and had one of his own, but it is my head canon that someone saw the comments and worked off of them❤️ Great vide!

@SuperCarlinBrothers have you explored the possible connection between the eye, Dumbledore and Odin. I feel Dumbledore and Mad-Eye could both be based on Odin.

[@jaredbennett7677]

I think the evidence for it is much more sparse, but I liked better the theory that it's Grindelwalds eye that he has. Still perhaps given by Dumbledore, harkening back to their connection. Or even an invention of the two of them during their time together

"What If Regulus Black Lived?" That could have some big changes to characters. Like Regulus and Sirius being better and closer. Regulus potentially being a secret spy for Sirius.

Good theory, still like the fact that this could be the eye from the Lady Gris theory. Ben was in top form for that one.

Do you think there will be recurring scenes of Dudley / the Dursleys throughout the season of the upcoming HP series?

Getting an ad right before the “Hey Brother!” in the SCB jingle might be the single worst moment of my life

0:00 Who made Moody's eye? Oh please, it was given to the 4th peverol brother by death! He asked to be all seeing, but that just helped him see death comming for him and we went insane. the other brotheres disavowed all relation to him and he was forgotten

There’s no proof at all to this.

[@omaramador6126]

I just realized that both you and sketch say “ Hey brother ☝🏻” that is all lol

Hey SCB, I have a "What If ..." idea; What if Voldemort knew the whole prophecy from the beginning? Like Snape heard the full version, and told it to Voldemort? Knowing that he'd be "marking Harry as his equal" from the start? How might that version of the story turn out
