Through the Griffin Door Supercut: Chamber of Secrets BONUS EPISODES

[@annablake725]

In The Sorcerers Stone, pg 82. Olivander says to Harry, “you have your mother’s eyes. It seems only yesterday she herself was in here buying her FIRST wand. “

I hope they add this to the reboot. A conversation where Lucius admits to Narcissa and Draco that they no longer have Dobby. I would like to see how they handle his prideful nature and if he would admit Harry's part in it.

If they don't take the Ford Anglia to school, Ron's wand won't be "faulty" which means Lockheart's memory charm will be successful. He will do as he says and go back up, tell the lie, Ginny will die and Voldemort will return

[@ginnyjollykidd]

I like how, in the movie, Snape clearly and loudly exclaims "Expelliarmus!" He puts a lot of emphasis behind it, and I think it's to emphasize it as a very important lesson. It worked. Harry took it to heart!

[@ginnyjollykidd]

I like that, too. Although, does he not use it till book 3?

[@MasterTMO]

Regarding Tom Riddle's wand looking like a bone, I think that's a handle-addon, like Lucius Malfoy had a cane head put on his (that Voldy snapped off when he took it). The wand itself may have been pale wood, but not necessarily bone-ish.

[@wrdreads4742]

I like that idea, because I can't understand why Ollivander would make such an evil looking wand from the phoenix of Dumbledore....

[@xkr3atiOnx]

Quirrell was the vampire story. That's why he's afraid because he encountered one and did defeat it but had his memory taken so he doesn't remeber and is scared because of it.

[@wrdreads4742]

Both Lockhart and Quirrel were Ravenclaw, maybe they were in school together? Quirrel was probably good enough that Lockhart was jealous, and then sought to take Quirrel's glory. Both the vampire and the trolls. Possibly the hags too. Lockhart left Quirrel in the state of ineptitude, not just Voldy. My beliefs....

I fully believe Dumbledore used the Time Turner to have Hagrid go back and take the Stone before it's ...not stolen...because everything that will happen has to have already happened. So, Dumbledore planned to look for the Stone not being stolen so he could send Hagrid back to prevent the theft which was already prevented....big ball of wibbly wobbly....

[@MasterTMO]

Regarding Slughorn knowing how to cast the Dark Mark - it might not be that difficult a spell to reverse engineer. "I know what the spell looks like. I know advanced spellcrafting. The spell must be something like this..."

[@susantindall8711]

I imagined the mosmorder spell as something Voldemort adopted rather than invented. Like there was and probably is a spell for wizards to fire into the sky when they were in trouble and needed help in the same way we fire flairs. I think Voldemort tweeked it to be the skull and snake to represent him. If that were the case slughorn could do it as he knew the method.

[@PerovNigma]

My interpretation of Crouch Jr. helping Harry resist the Imperius Curse was always that he was so shocked/impressed by Harry's resistance that - like drinking polyjuice during the final task - he forgot his role, and found himself impressed by his enemy.

[@kimberleyschreurs3127]

I think Barty Crouch jr. was such a good teacher because he was genuinly fascinated by the dark arts. He might have had a completely different mission, but he still could’ve been truly enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge

[@janetroberts4359]

Harry being raised by the Dursleys may have also been a planned factor in keeping Harry’s ego in check.

[@PukingPanda]

That’s kind of implied in the books I think? But Dumbledore wasn’t expecting them to be so terrible

[@UnfazedPhoenix]

Yes and It's literally the only option. Dumbledore can't cast the appropriate protective spells unless Harry lives with a BLOOD relative.

[@wrdreads4742]

Yet despite the bullying from his aunt and uncle, from his cousin, from everyone at school... He still finds ways to be arrogant towards Dudley (toilet's never had anything as sick as Dudley's head down it). All the strange things that keep happening around him: finding himself on the roof of the school, turning a teacher's wig blue (how the f did that happen?!?! according to the school? Was someone at the public school a witch or wizard????), and all the very strange people that seem to know him in the street that disappear when he tries to get a second look..... Harry manages an ego despite the constant put downs. And then when Hagrid launches Harry, it's only the fear of "He Who Must Not Be Named" that keeps him in check that first year... And much of that fear is overcome quickly... Cheers! :)

concerning the sword of Gryffindor maybe it would return to where Dumbledore kept it behind the portrait on the wall behind his desk maybe that is where Godrick enchanted his sword to return to him after a worthy Gryffindor had need of it

I think Dumbledore 100% knows who Lockhart steals the memories from. All of Lockhart's books have to do with Fantastic Beasts after all... That's another reason why Newt never showed up in the HP series.

[@wrdreads4742]

I fully believe that Dumbledore used a Time Turner to have Hagrid collect the Stone. That Dumbledore planned ahead of time, when he put the Stone into the vault, that when he saw that the Stone had been not-stolen, he would go back and tell Hagrid to take it to prevent it from being stolen. Because everything that will happen has to have already happened. Like Buckbeak, Dumbledore planned to have Hermione save him, and when he saw that Buckbeak was saved, he tells her to go and save him.

[@theojouas893]

not sure if this is mentioned already, but without the car in the womping willow, ron does not snap his wand and thus lockhart would use his memory charm and successfully carry it out (i guess some margin can be had as its an old wand) but we need the car to help break rons wand.

[@aleahvincent9303]

A question I have related to the conversation about wand cores is how would you harvest a dragon heartstring? In the case of unicorn hairs and phoenix feathers, you wouldn’t have to kill the magical creature to obtain those things, but I can only imagine you would have to kill a dragon to use dragon heartstring in a wand. But if your theory about Charlie is true, he wouldn’t kill a dragon he has a n affinity with…thoughts? 1:16:40

[@quietinsound8087]

Dumbledore did not hire Umbridge, because he could not find a DADA teacher the ministry appointed someone to teach it.

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

1:16:54 So I would also argue that Ron isn't that great of a wizard (for example struggling with the swish and flick wing gardum leviosa spell in year 1) BECAUSE he is USING ANOTHER WIZARD'S WAND and only becomes a decent wizard when Charlie's old wand breaks and he is forced to buy a new one.

[@Musicteachersheff]

When does the first through the griffin tour episode go on the podcast? Or are they not being released? It’s Sunday and I’m lost without the podcast! 😢

[@edenridi6254]

We know that Dumbledore has known Moody for quite a number of years, based on the trial memories in the pensieve that Harry sees. Crouch-Moody had to play the role perfectly. I won't be surprised if he legilimensed the real Moody to learn his mannerisms and key personality traits so he can act like him in a way that would convince Dumbledore. Dumbledore most likely asked Moody to teach that year so he can keep an eye on Harry during the tournament, so it was crucial not to get caught until the finals at the end of the year. Bottom line - he had no choice but to be proficient and act like the real Moody.

[@freekazoid8489]

If Dobby wasn't involved the wand wouldn't have been broken.

[@MulanBelle]

Your mention of Umbridge in the beginning. Dumbledore didn't hire her. The Ministry forced her on him, because they passed an Educational Decree that gave them the power to appoint teachers if Dumbledore was unable to fill a post.

[@freekazoid8489]

Yes. And the theory is that Dumbledore was unable on purpose. Dumbledore had the whole order at his disposal but he didn't appoint any of them.

[@MulanBelle]

But half the Order aren't really suited to teach DADA (can you really see the likes of Mundungus or Dedalus Diggle teaching?) and the other half aren't able to for one reason or another.

[@wrdreads4742]

​​@@MulanBelle Molly would be an amazing DADA teacher, she's not really doing much else......... The reason Dumbledore doesn't appoint her, or any of the others, is because of the curse. He knows Lupin won't be able to last more than one year because of his condition. And it's important for Harry to get to know his father's goodest friend.... And the only remaining close friend (lol autocorrect wants me to put friends instead of friend...). Madeye agrees to only one year, even before being kidnapped and impersonated. Later, everyone is important to be kept safe, and not one that would commit to only one year. And with Voldy back, everyone is important for the long term. There's no one that Dumbledore is willing to risk the curse on. And every one of those people know that a couple decades have gone by with each DADA teacher being only able to stay one year.... They all know of the curse. And with Voldy back, that's an even greater risk.

[@mya1999]

I feel like if they could it would be in a limited capacity. Ie ) Being bound to the school they would be able to apparate within the grounds (I know witches and wizards can't but ghosts could be like house elves).

[@charleysylver]

If Voldemort had the Sword of Gryffindor when he went to kill the Potters, why didn’t the Sword just pop out of Voldemort’s pocket and appear in James’ hand to help him defend himself and his family? He was a worthy and brave Gryffindor in need right?

[@PerovNigma]

Surely, the biggest consequence to taking Dobby out of _Chamber of Secrets_ would be that Lockheart successfully obliviates Harry and Ron - Ron's wand isn't broken, because he and Harry didn't crash into the Whomping Willow, because they didn't fly to Hogwarts, because Dobby didn't stop them using Platform 9¾.

[@rationaltrekker2509]

I think the Sword of Gryffindor will magically return to the Headmaster's office as a means of keeping itself out of the hands of people who shouldn't wield it.

[@RMills646]

1:16:07 so with this, I was wondering if maybe there was a possibility of the hand me down wand being from one of Molly's brothers, and so once Charlie has the money from his job he finally gets his own wand, hence why it's in such a bad state

Theory can also refer to an underlying body of basic principles. For example in music, theory encompasses everything from a quarter note in 4/4 time gets one beat to pentatonic scale to complex forms and motifs. Not necessarily proofs and conclusions, although there is that which is what we do here. One of those underlying bodies of principles is wand lore. We know "the wand chooses the wizard" and certain principles by which the relationship grows or recedes. And the way wands might switch owners. We don't know much more than that, though, which is why I want to see a novel on wand theory.

Lilys sacrifical protection was only avle to protect Harry as long as he was in the presence of her, as it was implied. Dumbledore was able to extend that protection while he stayed with his Aunt and "home" and why he has to revisit every summer. Once he became ab adult he lost that protection. Thats why the blood Tom takes matters because at the time Harry is unprotected outside of the twin core dilemma.

[@ethanblissett1993]

Hey brother I have a question do you think that the Tom riddle from the diary is only trying to regain physical form due to the fact that he may have found out from Ginny that Voldemort has no physical form and that lesser creatures and less powerful wizards aren’t suitable hosts and the horcrux/ memory from the diary assumes that it could possibly provide Voldemort with a physical form? This is the only reason that makes sense to me that a horcrux would try to come alive while there is already a Voldemort floating around there

[@BrandonCarroll-jz3hx]

Hey brother to add to this (and I believe this had been discussed before) could dirary Voldy have been trying to regain physical form in order to find and rejoin with Voldy prime.

[@thoughtfulwatcher]

I haven't read the books in a long time so I may be misremembering, but didn't Winky summon the dark mark with Harry's wand during the quiddich world cup? House elves are very powerful, but is it in wand magic? My point is - it may be a really easy spell. The only thing stopping someone from casting is what it means. If I remember correctly.

[@wrdreads4742]

Winky was found with the wand, but at the end of GoF, Dumbledore calls Winky up to the reveal/interrogation of Barty Jr, and Barty admits that he had gotten free of Winky, sorta. Barty was under the cloak when Amos went to investigate the bushes, and then Barty Sr double checked the bushes, hiding Barty Jr., again. Barty Jr stole Harry's wand in the top box, and then used the spell, dropped the wand when the stunners that went over the Trio's heads and hit the bushes. Barty Jr., under the his father's invisibility cloak, isn't seen by Amos, but Winky, who had been trying to hold onto Barty Jr., is seen, and the wand next to her on the ground. Sorry if that was a convoluted explanation....

What if the sorting hat also served as the Sword of Gryffindor’s sheath or scabbard? So whenever the sword wasn’t needed, it returned to the hat. It would be stored in the hat in standby so you wouldn’t be able to see or feel it unless you needed it. It wouldn’t return to hat after Chamber, because it would sense that it was still needed to kill horcruxes

[@SGT_VES]

Here’s a thought you just inspired… Dumbledore & Fawkes gave two feathers to Olivander attempting to give Dumbledore a replacement wand, but neither one chose him. Then Dumbledore was able to disarm Grindelwald with the sword of Griffindor, resulting in the Elder Wand’s change of allegiance.

[@rhondacrosswhite8048]

Voldy wanted Slughorn for his potion making skills. Plus Slughorn was sort of a mentor to young Tom Riddle. Don't forget, Voldy kidnapped Olivander the wand maker for his knowledge of wands because he wanted to know more about the elder wand and why his wand didn't work against Harry's wand.

I have been following your channel for some time and I have a theory for you guys if you want to do a video on it. Here is my theory in the animated version of Aladdin, how many wishes did Aladdin actually use? Because if you actually count them in the movie he wishes to be a prince and for genies freedom. So technically he has 1 wish left because the scene where he was drowning in the ocean he didn't verbally say "genie I wish for you to save my life."

And I think the wand decides to work for Hermione, that it became impressed with the skills, power, and intelligence that Hermione is. But I thought they took Narcissa's wand, too, yet Draco is using his mother's wand in the Battle.

I think the theory was that, like the hallows, it's a powerfully created artefact. They made a theory once that Dumbledore created it(or a version of it) for himself, since his eyes have a lot of similarity in description and also seems to be able to see through the cloak, and then Dumbledore made one for Moody when he lost his own.

[@rationaltrekker2509]

Olivander seems to make a point about the wand choosing the wizard as part of his "sales pitch" for the lack of a better term. Garrick Olivander doesn't simply sell wands as a shoppe owner; he sells them as a craftsman who makes wands and an expert in wand lore; that is, someone who has a personal connection to wands and the craft of making them. I would expect that most, if not all, witches and wizards in Britain, at the very least know that one fact, having learned it from Olivander himself. They won't know the ins and outs since even Olivander says that experts in wand lore don't fully understand it, but they will learn, as Harry did, from the day they buy their first wand, that their wand is choosing them. Reg Cattermole's wife says at her hearing that her wand chose her, for example. There might be other shoppes that sell wands that don't make that point because the proprietors aren't experts in wand lore, just sales people. Perhaps Gregorovitch withheld such information from his customers, but that doesn't seem right. It seems to me that other wand-makers would teach their customers that much, if for no other reason than knowing that a major competitor in the trade is doing so, but more likely because it's good for having truly satisfied customers in the end.

[@rationaltrekker2509]

Quirrel isn't a horcrux at all. Voldemort is directly possessing him. The core part of Voldemort, not just a fragment of his soul, is residing in Quirrel's body. That makes all the difference. Harry can touch a horcrux (e.g. the locket) without harming it because he is not touching Voldemort's person. At most, touching a horcrux would be like touching Voldemort's robe, but not Voldemort himself. Had Harry only touched Quirrel's robes, I don't think he (Quirrel) would have been injured. Once Voldemort regenerated his body using Harry's blood, he could physically touch him. Had he possessed Quirrel at that point, Quirrel probably wouldn't have been harmed by Harry's touch. When Voldemort attempts to possess Harry, it is agony, not because of the protection of Lily's blood in Harry, but because Harry's soul is so pure, Voldemort's corrupt soul can't stand to be housed in the same body - to be in that close contact, which is why he stops trying to use legilimency against Harry. Note also that Nagini is not harmed by contact with Harry. The key here is that there is a huge difference between a horcrux and possession.

[@gamer_dude94]

I was confused about why this wasn't on the channel. Lol, it's on the main channel 😂

Doesn’t the taking of Harry’s blood in goblet of fire end the vulnerability of Voldemorts soul to Harry’s “love” touch.

[@mandielyn0416]

I think that the Diary was meant to be handled and so didn’t have the same magical defenses on it. Was the part of the diary that was Voldemorts soul actually the ink? The diary doesn’t disappear as Voldemort is returning while Ginny is fading away, so if the ink is what actually houses the soul fragment then Harry would t have had physical contact with the soul and causing any damage to be done to it.

It would not affect much; they get all the information in other ways. They go to school on the train, Harry wins the match without breaking his arm but they still learn everything interesting they learn in the hospital wing, and eventually they go and confront Aragog after Hagrid is taken away. The problem is they confront Aragog after having gone to school on the train, so there is no feral car to rescue them and they are eaten. At least as far as I can tell this episode was first aired (not just the supercut) five months ago, and What If was Jul. 2023, so youʼve been through all of this from the vacation home to the spiders before. 1:30:43 Did they… not want you to include that you might have questions? Why did you try this part of the ad read twice then abandon it (and forget to cut that out of the video)? 1:43:30 So they trade the Christmas colors back and forth. Really someone should have noticed that earlier and instead of having big battles just taught Tom the true meaning of Christmas in a Hallmark special. 1:51:13 I just binged this entire book of the podcast, so I know that: it is wet. You commented on this, and thought it would make more sense (not knowing about Harry being a horcrux) if it were dry, because it would give Harry a reason to be interested in it, and he does not have an understandable one of those. 1:52:12 Iʼve always wondered if they were right there. It *shouldnʼt* need to be opened, but Harry has an instinct for this sort of thing after 6.5 years in the magical world and I somewhat trust his instincts. 1:59:25 If Voldemort realized why the sacrifice worked, he wouldnʼt have set up *the exact same situation* during the Battle of Hogwarts. He gave Harry an explicit choice, Harry chose to sacrifice his own life, and now that sacrifice protects the people of Hogwarts.

I only realised this now but because she kills Bellatrix Molly does not have a fully intact soul anymore. Somehow that fells so wrong. 😟 I mean it´s an awesome kill but Molly always feels so wholesome through the whole stroy.

[@wrdreads4742]

I think that because she did so to protect her daughter, and perhaps could have something to do with the specific spell(??), that her soul remains whole. In a similar way to Dumbledore telling Snape that only Snape would know if helping an old man die comfortably would harm his soul.

[@manuelenriquez9424]

What if Charlie was given one of Molly’s brothers’ wands?

[@ErikBjornSmith]

I don't think Dumbledore would have been the last youngest seeker in a century, because I don't think something like would have been forgotten about Dumbledore. I think something like that would have been brought up about him by a side character to Harry, most likely by Oliver Wood with how obsessed he his with quidditch, or by Charlie Weasley when he meets him Goblet of Fire. As inconsequential bit of trivia as it is, there's many bits of random, inconsequential bits of trivia thrown throughout the books. I think the youngest seeker is just some random, nameless student.

[@UnfazedPhoenix]

Almost nothing is inconsequential. You don't get it. Also, Dumbledore literally won EVERY award the school offered- which includes the Quidditch Cup. It would have been one century prior to Harry.

[@ErikBjornSmith]

@@UnfazedPhoenix it's not being a quidditch player I'm questioning, it's him being the youngest player before Harry.

If not for Dobby in ,Chamber of Secrets, Ron's wand does not backfire ,Harry and Ron both lose their memories.

[@NicholasKoeppel]

I think Dumbledore is living by destiny: He’s the jack of all traits, using the elder wand to be master of all; but, it comes at a cost… I think Dumbledore knows the future, has seen what’s going to happen, and when the prophecy is made to him, it’s more a reinforcement to what he already kind of knew…. The problem is how much of you knowing what is destined to happen, is required for creating the future that occurs? By the start of the books: I believe Dumbledore had seen specific scenes in the future, communicated with known fortune tellers, and used the wand to gain as much foresight as possible… I also believe, he was in constant fear, that his additional actions as he lives in the present; will effect the only outcome that needed to be destined to happen… In the end, the story feels like a redemption story of a man(Dumbledore) who used tools that even gods aren’t suppose to have, and made the entirety of existence pay the price for his use of them… The double-edge sword of the argument is that Dumbledore used those same tools to advance existence in incredible ways… However, because Dumbledore was living by destiny, as always happens, he became a slave to it, and wasted away doing exactly as it instructed.

I know plenty of speculation was made to why can't Harry see Thestrals until book 5 since his parents died, but my question is why can't he see them if he witnesses Quirl die at Voldemort's hand? Does he not witness it in the book?

[@GrilledCheese795]

Harry passed out before Quirrel died in the book

[@tateallen4755]

Currently reading Deathly Hallows. In Chapter 9, “A Place to Hide”, Ron says he’s never performed a memory charm, and Hermione says “Nor have I, but I think I’ve got the theory.” Hadn’t Hermione already wiped her parents’ memories? (Page 162)

Vidio idea: what if lily was able to escape voldemort with harry

[@stevenc3415]

Do you think the reason that dumbledore allows Snape to be such a bully, is to teach harry not be cocky and mean like James? Like Harry sees how much it hurts Neville, the way snape, bullies him and it makes him want to stand up bullies. That's always been my head cannon. Why else Would dumbledore allow snape to treat students that way?

[@wrdreads4742]

It's to keep the ability to spy on Voldy. If Snape keeps showing he's evil, he'll be welcomed back more willingly.... Maybe it helps the kids get tougher skin.....!#%^@#%_^@#^!

[@einstein0120]

As for why the diary didn't burn, maybe it's cause it's not voldemort prime.

[@pb99-z3r]

Am I going crazy or have you uploaded this same episode before? I have checked that this episode was uploaded today (8/6/24) but I know that I have seen this in the past week or so. What is going on? Have you uploaded the same episode again or am I just going craxy?

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

It's a supercut. They combined multiple episodes together like they always do with their podcast episodes after there's a few to combine.

[@lissaweers346]

how many people in janus thickey are there due to lockheart?

[@Danielle-pn4hq]

Hey brother's watching in GB I'm wondering if you can teleport in Hogwarts? I know you can't apperate but they are technically two different things luv you're work ❤❤

[@UnfazedPhoenix]

They're not different things. There is only Apparition in universe, which is teleportation by another word, and no, you can't apparate in or out of Hogwarts or the grounds. Unless you're Dumbledore.

[@dylanbruhhh4208]

Dumbledores big plan is canon I don’t care what anyone says 🤣
