Neville’s speech at the battle of Hogwarts is what makes him that much more worthy than everyone else. Like most characters are pretty split in the poll, but with Neville almost everyone agreed that he was worthy. Harry is dead and every single person just thinks that it is over, the war is lost and Voldemort will rule. Only Neville stands up and says that it doesn’t matter, Harry was just a person and they can still win without him. Very reminiscent of Steve Rogers’ “I can do this all day” if you ask me. None of the avengers would ever think to give up a fight, even if one of them had died or if it seemed impossible that they could win. They keep the fight going til the last man standing, because they can’t let the bad guys win. Neville understands this, unlike the rest of the characters who just stands there like idiots.

[@lmul1441]

That is true, he was the only one that didn't give up.

[@belenayerza5578]

I agree, but I dont think that people were standing around like idiots. Harry was more than just another hero, like in the avengers. The people in the MCU are all equal, and they all fight with the same purpose. There might be leaders, but there is no simbol. Harry was a simbol of rebellion, of standing up and fighing against unfairness. Neville himself said that when harry stood up to Umbridge it gave people hope. Harry was like Katniss from the hunger games. He had started this thing, and people believed he was the chosen one, the only one capable of defeating voldemort. Harry had specifically told Neville to kill Nagini if he got the chance, so Neville had a purpose, something to follow. To the rest of the people there, their simbol had died. Just like in the hunger games, where Katniss gave people hope. If she had died, many of the people might have given up as well. I dont think people had given up, but they didn't see the point in fighing. They didn't have hope. For all they knew, their families would be killed because they had rebelled. Just like Aberforth had said, he thought there was no hope, and that was with Harry alive. The whole point of this battle had been to protect harry from voldemort, so seing harry dead sort of shook them, which makes sense. This is part of why what Neville did was so incredible. Harry's braveness had been what encouraged him to be brave himself, and seing harry dead, he knew he had to finish what he started. He knew that the people needed someone more to give them hope, and he did it.

[@dopedreamz]

The sword also comes to his aid.

[@ligeiaztomb2755]

It also completes the prophecy in a lateral way.

[@mcfarlane1105]

He was wandless when he stood up to Voldy, having landed the sorting hat containing the sword, which he showed extreme valor in the moment. Besides Neville, I think Mcgonagall and Hagrid. If he was of course in Gryffindor house.

[@dramaturge231]

Harry’s death doesn’t make his sacrifice any more noble. He didn’t know he would be revived, nor did Thor know he wouldn’t die. What’s important is the intent of self sacrifice.

Also I view most of her wackiness as a coping mechanism for PTSD, she watched her mother die and has been bullied for most of her life not just Hogwarts.

My headcanon is that luna has schizotypal personality disorder and/or autism and ptsd. I would not be surprised that her odd beliefs are just related to the way her brain works. She is still extremely pure and loyal, supports everyone and believes in the best of people but isnt afraid to stand up to people when necessary

[@lukeolson8018]

Luna could absolutely wield the hammer. Shes’s the only character in the entire series not to put judgement on another character or their actions. She’s also the only character not to show any sort of temper or negative emotional flare (unless you count a brief flash of annoyance at Harry in the last movie, which I don’t because the movies aren’t canon.) She always remains open minded and true to herself and her friends and doesn’t hesitate to help them out, even if it means doing something dangerous, reckless, illegal... like breaking into the department of mysteries. She’s literally the one that came up with the plan to use thestrals. She’s the one that ultimately lifts Harry’s spirits after Sirius dies. And when Dobby dies. She’s actually strangely maybe even the most emotionally intelligent character. I think an argument can be made that she’s the most worthy to wield the hammer.

[@KG-gz5vd]

What about Dobby?

[@chumuheha]

The thing is, the hammer doesn't just require purity of heart, but the courage to make hard decisions. It's why Spider-Man can't lift it in the comics, because of his refusal to kill even if it's the right thing to do. With that, I think it's just down to Harry, Neville, and possibly McGonagall. Although some of the others are good, if they don't have the ability to make a hard choice in the heat of battle the hammer won't budge.

[@Freyalise50]

honestly, I don't even think Harry could.His only recorded kills, even in a WAR, were Quirrel (unintentional) and Voldemort (who lost over wand lore not action on Harry's part.When faced with Voldemort, Harry choose Expelliarmus over literally any other choice.

I think this is a bit too cavalier about how stringent the spell is with worthiness. It isn’t enough to just be a good person, Mjolnir can only be lifted by the most legendary of heroes, pinnacles of morality that even other Avengers could look up to. While I agree that Harry and probably Neville could, saying Hermione could just because she’s talented and brave doesn’t mean anything.

I don't think Snape would even want to TRY and lift the hammer. He clearly wouldn't be able to lift it anyways but he has so many self-hatred problems too. Why attempt to do something that will solidify that he's terrible, when he himself thinks so? And he's smart enough- and messed up enough- to know he's not worthy.

[@sezzac155]

I agree. Although, maybe he would try to wield it earlier in life? Like when he was making that promise to Dumbledore to work for him? "Hide them all then. Keep her -them- safe." The switching of sides basically. I think Snape wouldn't be able to lift the hammer because of similar reasons as to why Loki can't, not because they are 'bad' or 'evil' but because they favour words and more manipulative/subtle methods which Odin/Asgard would see as cowardly.

[@shaydshani]

You're both 100% correct! There's not a thing I could think of to add except like Loki in those final moments just before they died I think they would have been worthy then. Of course we'll never really know because even if they could they wouldn't have believed that they could. Also in Loki's case it was destroyed so he wouldn't be able to find out if he could have tried to use it against Thanos.

I don’t think that lily could have wielded the hammer because her sacrifice wasn’t for the good of the rest of the world because of a “pure heart”, it was for Harry. I would say that a lot of mothers would sacrifice themselves for their children, but that doesn’t necessarily make them worthy of Mjolnir.

Good points! Hadn't thought of it that way!

[@belenayerza5578]

[@ayanaatthrivebewhole]

But, she was in the Order so she cared deeply about the rest of the world, and even when she was young she was standing against injustice at school, which is hard to do when you're a kid. She was extremely principled. Also, just because a lot of mother's would die for their kids doesn't diminish the power of the act. Being a mom myself, I understand that the love is one of the deepest things I've ever felt. Also, it's not fair to judge her for her death, she had no control over the circumstances of her death. I think she wouldve died for the world if she'd had the opportunity.

[@2shy2guy52]

But, she sacrificed for him with so much love that she made a shield charm powerful enough to stop a killing curse from one of the most powerful wizards of his time.

[@mercuriology45]

Lily evans joined the order of the phoenix when she graduated hogwarts, was said to be a really talented witch, specially by slughorn who was a really great wizard back in his time, and defied Voldemort 3 times .she was so talented that besides being Muggle born was allowed to join the death eaters. Not to mention that the order of the phoenix wasnt really doing great, the number of death eaters were big compared to the order members. People were dying a lot,yet she still decided to join . Sorry for my whole essay but throught the series they make it clear she is a very selfess character, so there is that possibility that she would be worthy of the hammer.

[@moviehermit5631]

I think Hermione is too close-minded and has too high an opinion of herself. She has witnessed magical beasts, flying broomsticks, time travel, magical spells of all kinds, potions, etc... yet doesn't believe in Divination because she struggles in the class. She also brushes off the existence of the Deathly Hallows, claiming it's just a children's story with no real merit (again... _time turner)._ She regularly acts through the notion that she knows best (kinda like Molly), regardless of what others have to say, or how there are more far fetched things that she accepts. And I think this part of her would cause her to be unworthy, no matter how courageous or compassionate she is

[@colemiller7763]

She's also pretty jealous throughout the series. For instance, in Half Blood Prince she really wasn't so worried that it was wrong of Harry to have the Potions Manuel as she was annoyed that it was making him seem better than her. Also, throughout the series she shows disdain for students who aren't as good at something as she is, or a weird sort of hostility when she was too "ignorant" to think of something when someone else did. How many times does she say something to the effect, "Why didn't I think of that"? I don't think she could have lifted it.

Harry went to the Forbidden Forest to die for his friends willingly. He knew that he was going to be killed by Voldemort, and he died to give his friends a chance to save the Wizarding World. If that doesn't make you worthy, then I don't know what is the definition of worthy.

[@Rachel-uy7pv]

[@SilverStormShadow]

Luna is the purest character in the entire series, she could absolutely lift the hammer in my opinion. Luna is the only character to never react angrily, to never judge anyone for anything, and she is always true to herself, regardless of what people think of her. She may also be one of the most emotionally intelligent people of the series. Being the one to comfort Harry after Sirius and Dobby's deaths and doing a phenomenal job in doing so, she is also the only one seemingly to notice that Harry doesn't want to deal with everyone being around him after defeating Voldemort, so she causes a distraction, and one thing that often goes overlooked is that Luna only ever sees Harry as Harry, not the Chosen One, not the Boy Who Lived, not some deity or God, just her friend Harry. Almost every other character in the series at one point reacts to Harry like a legend or a being larger than life, even Ron and Hermione are like this when they first meet him, only for the first few seconds of meeting him, but it was still there, they saw him as an idol, even briefly. Luna never did. I know the films aren't canon, but Movie Luna is possibly the best friend of Harry's at several moments, Ron and Hermione are excellent, but sometimes Harry just needed someone to be himself around, someone who didn't expect anything of him or someone to analyse and explain the entire situation to him. Ron is a great best friend, but he can get angry or jealous of Harry at times, we see in Goblet of Fire his jealousy and his anger best in Deathly Hallows, where his anger proves that deep down he believes Harry to have some amazing plan and is depending on him to save the day, Ron has expectations of Harry, however deep they may be buried. Hermione on the other hand is very intelligent and mature, but emotionally, I would say there are better people to talk to, I've always thought Hermione was Harry's book smart friend, but Luna was his emotionally smart friend. Particularly in the Order of the Phoenix film, the friendship between Harry and Luna is incredible, and I love it, Luna helps Harry alot through that film and she never asks anything in return, at the end of the film, she is busy looking for her lost possessions but immediately notices that Harry is in need of comforting and immediately helps him, this happens in the book as well of course, but in the book, their friendship is nowhere near as strong, especially at this point. I'd say the end of the book is where their friendship really begins, whereas in the film, it truly starts in the forest scene, where Luna introduces the thestrals to Harry (fantastic scene by the way). So, to me, there is no doubt that Luna could 100% lift the Hammer, just because she believes in some slightly outlandish things that have no factual evidence behind them, or likes to believe certain things that are possibly not true, doesn't change her worthiness and purity. Technically speaking, there is no factual proof of any religion being correct, does that mean we would discount any religious people from lifting the Hammer? I don't think so.

It's something about the ability to disregard any negative traits, and for even just a moment, be willing to do the right thing.

She spends most of the series in her own head because no one was willing to be her friend but after Dumbledore's Army she becomes so much more involved. She is worthy of the hammer. Another one worthy of the hammer (I'm surprised he wasn't mentioned) is Hagrid. You could argue he is selfish, for example when he hatched the dragon egg during Harry's first year. However, much like Luna, Hagrid is mostly solitary and he believes he is giving the creatures a good home and family (think back to his half-brother). He is no more selfish than anyone who has a pet, magical or not.

Yeah leadership has nothing to do with worthiness, because then Thor wouldn't be able to use it either. If there's one thing he's not, it's a leader. He even says as much about New Asgard, when he hands over the reigns of that place to Valkyrie.

[@the_black_fox9136]

[@tenzingkittens8797]

Putting others in danger with pets than can seriously harm them is selfish. I think that is a very wrong thing to do and people who do this with dangerous dogs in the real world are indeed very selfish as well. I assume that Hagrid always has some essence of dittany in one of his many pockets though, and it's possible that he knows some healing spells and he's extra strong because he's half giant. But owners of dangerous dogs have no excuse.

[@uosdwisrdewoh418]

Two things: What about Hagrid??? Is it not somewhat reductive to equate “worthiness” to “pure of heart”? I think maybe we’re kinda missing the forest for the trees in here is just thinking the hammer is accounting for purity? I think “worthiness” as it is ambiguously portrayed in the films is more about certainty of self- a known assurance of the wielder that who they are and what they may do is all definitively them. I think to be “worthy” is so much more than the passive status of being pure. I think its the very active and very arduous distinction of having figured out who you are and being okay with that. That said. Fun vid as always. Cheers

[@StarrClaws]

Such a cool video, props guys! You're often citing "purity" being a sign of worthiness. But I like to look back at what Odin's intent was in the enchantment. He threw Thor out because he was unworthy of being the leader of Asgard (to put it in simple terms). So, I think, that the enchantment will recognize anyone capable of leading with love and integrity. And if I were to describe Cap as any one thing, it would be "integrity." He sticks to what he believes is right, even when he is faced with realizing he himself may have been in the wrong. I agree with most of your Harry Potter list except for Newt. Yes, Newt has integrity and love in droves, and he is probably my favorite character in the whole dang Potter universe. However, as how things stand now . . . he lacks that confident leading quality, he's too distractable. He is not a leader, and I think the enchantment would know that. Just an opinion.

[@Jonathan-A.C.]

Interesting. Maybe it's more down to the ability to lead rather than the willingness to do what must be done, if the circumstances make it so (being willing to kill, for example). Or possibly it's neither. I do agree though that something about him isn't as strongly there

[@weicao1547]

I strongly disagree I think that being worthy is about nobleness ,and willingness to do what's right ,and Newt is both of them.

Tony is willing to sacrifice himself in Avengers 1, but still can't lift hammer in Avengers 2. Self sacrifice isn't good enough for the the Hammer. Rather I suspect it comes down to if someone could become corrupted. Similar to the saying absolute power, corrupts absolutely. Though Odin may not care for the absolute part he definitely believes power can lead to corruption as when Thor misuses his power, Odin takes it away. If true being super good is still not worthy of hammer, you have to proof that power isn't going to change you. So Ginny using love potion when she isn't getting what she wants, despite being very good isn't going to move the Hammer. While Luna, although we don't see her aquire great power, I don't see her ever being currupted without her becoming a different character. So she probably could. Side note; this may be why an elevator and other objects like coat racks can move the Hammer, power can't really corrupt things without agency.

[@khodexus4963]

Well, this is going to be a small list as very few witches or wizards have the militant mindset combined with the attitude toward leadership that Odin values in a king, and therefore wouldn't be worthy according to the parameters he set on Mjolnir. "You know how the hammer works, its about worthiness and purity of heart..." Oh dear. Yet another video about Mjolnir that completely misunderstands how the hammer judges worthiness... "What does it mean to be worthy enough to wield Mjolnir? ...there is no definite answer." Um, yes there is. Odin cast the spell, Odin set the parameters. The "definite answer" is: The qualities that Odin values and believes will make for a good King of Asgard. Most of which can be easily inferred by observation, if they aren't outright told to us. Also, Vision isn't worthy. He can lift the hammer, but he has never been able to wield, "the power of Thor". Only Thor himself and Captain America have done that in the MCU. Thor's sacrifice is completely different than Harry's. Thor offered it out of a sense of justice, believing it would make up for whatever wrongs he'd committed against his brother. Harry was doing it to defeat Voldemort and fulfill the prophecy, the kind of motivation which makes him a good hero, but not a good king. Why on earth would wanting to take the stone but not use it make Harry worthy to be a king? Answer, it doesn't. It is not a quality Odin values. Most of your picks aren't even worth commenting on since you so grossly misunderstood the parameters of your own question.

I'm gonna have to disagree with almost every "yes" here. If being willing to throw yourself into a fight you have no business being in, risking your life fighting to protect others, and being a good person was enough to lift the hammer, every single Avenger would be able to lift it. Even Steve couldn't lift it at first, and he's about as perfect a human being as it gets; that's...like, literally his super power. I could maybe accept Harry (and I do agree, if Harry could, so could Lily), but I'm still hesitant on that one, because Thor isn't the only Avenger willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good with no intention of making it out alive. Natasha and Clint literally fought each other over being the one to sacrifice themselves, and as far as I'm aware, they're both incapable of lifting it as well (well...not that Natasha has a chance, post sacrifice). Furthermore, that's not even necessarily the trait the hammer looks for, because, while I'm sure Steve would be willing to go peacefully if it meant saving everyone else, he never had to; he fought every step of the way, and the hammer accepted him. I think the "yes" characters are heroic, sure. But that's clearly not enough.

Yes, she sacrificed herself, but only because, she had no other strings attached than Clint and Clint had to be there for his family, after the rest of the avengers brought everybody back. So yes... Natasha is a solid maybe, but unfortunately unable to try again. But back to the wizarding world. Neville, is a solid yes. J explained it. Ginny is a solid no. Yes, she is brave, but so are most of the avengers. I would not trust a girl, that grew up with 6 very successful older brothers, with the power of a god. Sorry, but the temptation might be to big.

When it comes to the question of worthiness, I believe we need to start at the one who put the condition on the hammer in the first place, Odin. As the enchanter, the condition of worthiness would come from his point of view, and as sole enchanter his alone. Next is why he enchanted it, he wanted his son to become not just a better man, but more importantly to become a better king to succeed him. As such the worthiness is NOT "being a good guy," but "the makings of a great king/leader." Thor, once he learns humility and self-sacrifice, check. Before he likely would have run the kingdom to the ground in his hubris. Steve Rogers, see World War 2. Vision, he was brought about by the Mind Stone, as well as reasonings for his creation to begin with, so likely in that. If these guidelines are correct, then who in the wizarding world would be worthy changes up. Harry and Neville are checked, but as for others, it isn't enough that they are "good guys" or "heroic," the question is would the rule well? Would they use the hammer's power in such a way as a king/emperor, as envisioned by Odin, would?

Here's a question: In the Prisoner of Azkaban, McGonagall says that James told Dumbledore that Sirius would rather die than reveal their location, and that he (Sirius) was planning to go into hiding himself. Why then, was the plan changed so abruptly to Wormtail? And for that matter, why choose Wormtail over Remus as Secret-Keeper, if they had to change it? This is something that I only realized when working on something related to the books, and that I can't figure out a satisfactory answer for.

[@muhammadsodagar1]

Because Sirius being James's best friend was clearly an obvious choice as secret keeper and he could be sold out but wormtail would be the last choice as secret keeper in the eyes of voldemort (because sirius didn't know that wormtail was in league with voldemort already) and he didn't choose remus because he would be next if voldemort found out that sirius wasn't the secret keeper

[@absol1975]

The reason is that, if the Secret Keeper dies, all people who know the secret become Secret Keepers. Because Sirius is such an obvious choice and all the Marauders would be told the Secret, an obvious tactic would be to hunt down Sirius, kill him, then have the traitor, who is now a Secret Keeper because the original Keeper is dead, tell Voldemort the secret. And Sirius suggested Peter because, as he tells Lupin in the Shrieking Shack, he thought Lupin was the traitor.

3:28 It actually doesn't enhance his lightning powers. As proven in Thor Ragnarok, it is to help him control and channel it. Without the hammer, he's been shown to be even more powerful once he realised the hammer was not the source of his strength.

[@thewestfire9729]

I think Luna is one of the strongest yes’s of the characters. Another Yes that wasn’t in the list of characters is, I believe, Hagrid. Can you imagine Hagrid with Mjolnir? No one could stop him.

[@Deadpool-ri3rq]

I don't think Hagrid could lift it. As pure-intentioned of a person as he is, he willingly disregards the safety on other people constantly in favor of his animals.

[@thewestfire9729]

@@Deadpool-ri3rq I guess that’s true enough, but he also never hesitates to jump into a fight to protect his friends. He’s just a bit naive in thinking that all his monster friends would never hurt his human friends. But I can still see him lifting the hammer.

[@juzzyburns]

Putting aside the if in hagrid lifting mjolnir... Omg what a site to behold.

[@Ark_Hornet]

An important caveat about asking “Who is worthy to wield Mjolnyr?” Is that it’s “Who is worthy according to Odin?” Odin is the one who set the enchantment on Mjolnyr, so what does “worthy” mean to him? Odin ruled over the 9 realms and I’m sure most under his rule would see him as Just but Odin Conquered and United the realms, there would have been large groups that disagreed with his rule or even died defending their homes and families. But we can assume that Odin sees the result of the United realms as what is best and right. We can assume that Odin would see himself as worthy regardless as to how others may assign worth. ...or maybe it’s just down to whether or not the person trying to lift the hammer believes that they themselves are truly worthy

[@YaoiChan18]

Then almost ANYONE with an ego could do it, yet Tony Stark CAN'T.

[@kalpanajain4308]

I think Ron could have lifted it because he actually sacrificed himself in year one in the wizarding chess test AND the sword of Gryffindor also came to him. I know he was prone to jealousy but that was not his fault, it was because of the many things that happened in his life. And he fought Harry and actually said all those things and left was 80% because of the horcrux he was wearing.

[@jeremytung1632]

In the end that’s one of the best things about Harry Potter as a whole, every character good or bad has multiple character flaws which makes them feel all the more human.

[@shaderenard4325]

I mean. For Ginny was it really her fault that she was forced to open the chamber of secrets? I feel that shouldn't be counted against her

[@kaelin8775]

Yeah she literally got possessed after talking to a diary that responds... Like she lives in a magic world i wouldnt see that as an impossible thing

[@blakdeth]

I don't think newt could lift the hammer because 1: he actively avoids the call to arms until the conflict is forced upon him, and 2: he seems like he has too much pessimism in him. Keep in mind that the reason Peter Parker isn't worthy is because he is unwilling to kill people who are evil. The hammer doesn't just want you to be a good person, it wants you to be a good warrior Edit: pacifism not pessimism. Sorry

[@Lightning_Lance]

Now I imagine Mjolnir flying into Stark's hand and him being like "dang it hammer, I was trying to snap my fingers"

[@gideonjones9176]

oh good, i was about to comment that the spell hadn't been put on Mjolner yet when Hella had it, but you're on top of it, once again! Awesome job!

[@ThePharaz]

Personally, I think Luna could pick up the hammer but only would to move it out of the way. Like, "Who left this here? I'll just put it in the closet out of the way."

[@noorykorky5056]

LOL... yes. The same could probably be said about Newt and likely Dobby. 🤗😂

[@lauracs1212]

Is it just me or do you all go: "Dun du dudu Dun Dududu Dun dudududu dun dun dun Hey Brother! Guys before we dive on in, we need to give a huge thank you to today's Sponsor..."

I thought that was the avengers theme at first

I do too!!!!!

[@theresaiwright7085]

I miss these socks are amazing.

[@cgphotoandfilm]

14:34 - psl no ive honestly never been more terrified than this possible argument for umbridge wielding mjölnir. the thought send massive shivers down my spine.

[@katarinarose3379]

14:08 Yeah... but I think this was before the worthiness spell type thing was cast on it and anyone (or at least anyone with powers, maybe?) could lift it. I think Hela was powerful enough to stop the hammer but she couldn't wield it. Oops. I spoke too soon. J literally said this like a minute after I did.

[@Larucos]

but the thing is not just pureness, is it? it's also about being a worthy leader, if Newt can't pic a side in a literal war like in crimes of grindewald, I mean... leaders need to pic sides, man, worth is also about taking action, there's no way Newt, much like Luna, would be able to lift the hammer

[@felixgourlaouen]

I totally agree, that’s a good point!

[@noorykorky5056]

I disagree, but this now led me to a new question: Could Theseus wield it? 🤔 My immediate response is...... maybe...

[@noorykorky5056]

[Response to my own comment]: He is very courageous and willing to do what's right even if it is against the law or it involves circumventing the desires of authorities (e.g., when he fought alongside the British muggles during World War 1 despite that being against the law at the time), and he is a very just and moral person who was willing to look out for his brother and warn him of the fact that the authorities in the British Ministry of Magic were watching him; essentially, he used his position as Head Auror to inform Newt of this fact and thereby protect him. And I honestly do not think he would not sacrifice himself when he has to. He tried to do so for Leta. Also, he is an excellent leader, so... 👏

[@AT-vz2ul]

I think book Ginny can definitely wield the hammer She is powerful independent and stands up to all the bullies She knows when to say no

[@frostyskeletons8950]

Exactly! She has good intentions, doesn’t take BS, and is a natural leader. She absolutely could lift it!

[@christiaan4226]

I love how you mixed the fandoms, as well as incorporated your subscribers into the video! I was so hyped about McGonagall too 😂 Also, would Hagrid be worthy?

[@TheGFeather]

I read a fanfic about Thor having 'unworthy' days where he wouldn't even try to lift his hammer because he knew at that moment he couldn't. I really liked the idea. I think Harry definitely had the capacity in year 1 and 2, but I think he would not have been able to during year 5 and 6. The whole Malfoy obsession in particular throws it into question. That said, I'd say from Dumbledore's funeral onward he would absolutely be capable again.

[@stijnburgers719]

None, but if I had to choose I would 100% say Umbridge ofcourse. Edit: For everyone thinking that I'm serious: it's a joke.

[@Azeriiall]

Definitely not

[@SuperCarlinBrothers]

Thats a BOLD choice 😂

[@Wxyver_n]

How could you say something so controversial yet so brave?

[@tnorton]

You must not tell lies

[@Goku49]

Yeah no umbrage. She sought power and never had good intentions. She is willing to kill Harry as well as willing to break the rules for her own being

[@naomi_falk]

Character most likely to wield Mjolnir: Hedwig

[@whitehayate5903]

Hold up, what if you wanted to send the hammer via package? Is the owl (Hedwig) worthy? This is literally the elevator argument

[@aionicthunder]

@@whitehayate5903 Nah, this is an actual creature trying to lift the hammer, so (aside from Hedwig) probably not

[@captainspaulding5963]

The elevator argument is quite funny, considering that a simple coat hook can hold it....

[@mitchellwaits]

I actually think Dumbledore would be able to with the hammer, after all Oden is the one who put the worthiness spell onto Mjolnir, and Dumbledore and Oden are very similar, especially with all their secret keeping.

[@BuckerydogSchmuckeryDog]

Oden moonlights as Dumbledore

[@BuckerydogSchmuckeryDog]

@@cewla3348 oh 100% and people will forever think of Marvel's Norse versions first and that's an absolute tragedy

[@iMikeTech811]

Very good video! Very cool “crossover” but I have to say I think Snape would be considered worthy. In my opinion, I think all of his evil or harsh actions were all to just enforce the “act” so to speak. Snape literally had nothing to gain. The woman he loved was gone. He secretly was looking out for her son and never sought praise or recognition. The guy made such a huge sacrifice and stayed “faithful” to someone he was never even with just out of the love he had for her. That dude is worthy in my eyes! Lol

[@jackwriter1908]

The real Question is if you would tie Mjölnir to a broom and try to fly with the broom, are you able to fly or not? Is your broom worthy?!

[@oliviabolger2690]

Good question! 😂

[@nicholasjohnson6919]

I feel like Hermione would be like Cap in the comics, she would be able to life it, but only if she needed to (If you don't know, in the comics Cap can nudge the hammer (like he did in Ultron) but he can only use it normally in battle) Edit: Also, Ginny totally could use the hammer, she would be one of the few who I'd be sure of. Idk why people said she wouldn't Edit2: I feel like Luna could also lift it but would do so more out of curiosity than anything else

[@Thesis_Rose]

I agree with these

[@bboops23]

I can agree

[@dominoot2652]

the luna curiosity thing makes sense. She's pure in intentions and would be just kinda interested in looking at the design on the handle or something lol. She'd probably pull a vision and just pick it up to give it to someone who actually would use it.

[@noorykorky5056]

I also agree.

[@piercewhitley964]

I think, out of everyone, only Harry, and only at the end when he decides to die, would be able to wield the hammer. All the MCU characters put their lives on the line daily. And just 'cause you're nice and no strong argument against doesn't mean you can lift it.

[@TheSinboy6]

Really fun video concept!

[@ninxeldwin951]

Book Ginny could totally use the hammer. Movie Ginny on the other hand...

[@dominoot2652]

too awkward to lift the hammer

[@Goodbutevilgenius]

Movie Ginny: *awkwardly lifts the hammer*

[@armadillounothousandbasu1189]

You know newt would literally just use the hammer two pound meat for his beasts

[@DrFadzware]

there was something that I was wondering, perhaps you two are the best to help figure out. What makes a wizard more or less powerful? is it aptitude? is it their wand? is it their knowledge of spells and incantations? level of ambition? TIA

[@ThornMu]

Ginny is a generally good person, sure, but I just don't think her or her mother quite meet the mark for the hammer except at a few specific points where they could probably weild it for a scene. Many people are willing to risk themselves for the safety of others, but that doesn't seem to be quite enough for the hammer. Same goes for Luna, as much as I love her.

[@pirate_Z]

Oh and Molly would never lift it, she is way too judgmental for it.

[@S4sch4_97]

One person you forgot or didn't include, who I think, could lift the hammer is Regulus Black. Sure he went wrong in the first part of his life, but later on he sacrificed himself to try and correct his mistake, going so far and not using Kreacher to drink the torture potion

[@matityaloran9157]

Iron Man is willing to sacrifice himself in the first Avengers movie. And is open to the idea in the first Iron Man movie. But in Age of Ultron he couldn’t lift the Hammer. Harry sacrificing himself wouldn’t be enough to make him worthy.

[@thomasjeppesen3055]

I wonder whether he would have been worthy before Wanda showed him the vision of Thanos invading Earth. I think that vision corrupted his mind since it directly led to the Avengers dissolving.

[@seaweedbrain2933]

What about the Founders? Gryffindor: Yes Slytherin: Take a guess 🤣 Ravenclaw: Probably Hufflepuff: Yes

[@noorykorky5056]

I love the "Take a guess" for Slytherin... LOL... 😂 Also, I agree.
