[@trinaq]

It makes more sense for Harry to not see thestrals in the books than the films, at least prior to Cedric's death. In the book of Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone, he passed out before seeing Quirrell die, whereas in the film, he clearly sees him die, so he should have seen the thestrals afterwards.

[@Sapphire.club.20]

You forgot uhm his parents

[@moonbased7796]

I agree honestly since if we are going with book logic then yeah he didn't see Quirrell die since he passed out (and was told later that Quirrell died) where as in the film logic (since the films did change things) he did see both Quirrell and Cedric died (so likely saw the thestrals from both of them since with his parents he was too young) so technically speaking in both forms he could of saw them sooner (depending which media you want to use)

[@Akatsukileader9]

Not to mention he was right there when Voldemort killed Lilly. This should be a universal rule independent of if the person has memory or self awareness, if someone died within your field of vision, it should count.

[@amberbanuelos7053]

@@Akatsukileader9but again, I think this is more a movie thing than a book thing. It’s been a while, but I don’t know if the book explicitly says Harry was facing and looking at Lily when she’s killed. He’s in the room, but as he was a very young toddler (15 months old), he may not have been looking in her direction. Yes, it’s a cop-out as to why he didn’t see thestrals since Day 1 at Hogwarts (or at least by his third year when he took the horseless carriages), and I’m not saying it’s right, but as a mom of three, it’s true that young toddlers aren’t always looking at the direction of the most action. Still, Harry should have seen the thestrals after Cedric’s death. There’s no reason for them to wait to appear to him in Year Five other than the author didn’t have it fully planned, or at least didn’t plan it well enough.

[@abbieplate1785]

For J.K Rowling's explanations, the one about Harry being a baby makes sense. As for the second one, I think it's that Harry COULD see them at the end of his 4th year, but he didn't give it any mind at the time because he was too preoccupied with not just Cedric's death but also Voldemort's return.

[@ThePrincessSabrina]

This actually makes sense. Harry definitely would not be dwelling on seen thestrals at that time 21:01

[@Kylie-kq6dm]

I literally was going to write the same comment😂 but yeah I agree that Harry wouldn't "notice" the thestrals after everything he had been through

[@MHShah17]

Yeah, either too overwhelmed to realize he's seeing them or needing some time to accept what he saw at the graveyard. (While he'd already recognized thestrals earlier in the 5th year, think about how much of a stress sirius's death was, Dudley mentions that Cedric's was making him mutter in his sleep, while Sirius's was a bigger deal for Harry Cedrics was overwhelming) And it seems Fawkes and the basilisk don''t count

[@kingludacris4202]

Plus I don't think it work like that you got to witness death or be doing the killing to see them don't think you can see them witnessing you're own death

[@Teraclon]

I would argue that a ghost may or may not be able to see thestrals, at least when it comes to their own death: you must witness it and then come to terms with/accept it, but a ghost is made when a witch or wizard can not accept death and remain. I'd say it could go either way.

[@MrNess47]

I think since thestrals and ghosts are one and the same in death, they can likely see each other.

[@racheljackson4428]

that's interesting because there are loads of ghosts in Hogwarts. so it would make sense for ghosts to see Thestrals.

[@krisynthiagomez5883]

That brings up an interesting brain teaser if being able to see Thestrals is dependent on “seeing” death and Hogwarts is full of ghosts shouldn’t most of the students and staff already be able to see Thestrals if they hadn’t before they came to school since ghosts are one of the few physical remnants of death that exist in the Wizarding world?

[@ariesearthdragon]

@@krisynthiagomez5883 they didn't witness the deaths. You have to see it happen, and your brain has to process and realize somebody died in front of you. Otherwise, almost everybody who attends a funeral would see thestrals.

[@Sanbromi]

Question: What if you believe someone died right in front of you without actually dying? If you never find out that this person is actually alive, would you still be able to see thestrals then?

[@deepakane1262]

Answer: Well I think that must count. You will possibly able to see Thestrals if the thought of a person's death has been accepted by you. The reason is--- Harry denied Cedric's death at the end of book 4 and he could not see at that point(Rowling confirmed this) So.........If a person cannot see thestrals because he or she denied it even if he or she saw it, the opposite can also happen i.e. A person CAN see thestrals if they accepeted the death of a person though he or she is not dead

[@GoPterosaur]

And what if you then find out the person is alive

You could argue that Frank and Alice Longbottom might have witnessed someone die during their careers as aurors, but that would just be speculation, so I agree with not putting it in as canon

I don't think Snape's soul was already split.

I'm pretty sure that Snape knew that what he was doing was bad but he didn't want to do it, so therefore he's soul isn't split

When Peter killed the 12 muggles, clearly the ministry would have the brains of the muggles who witnessed in the event altered. I wonder if they could still see thestrals even if the memory is altered. I feel like it's definitely possible as though witnessing death does something to your brain or person that can never be undone

[@MazochistaRozsas]

I'd argue the Bloody Baron couldn't see thestrals because, as Nick explained, if you become a ghost, you don't really die, instead you choose the "imitation of life" that a ghost is. So Helena didn't actually die, meaning the Bloody Baron didn't see her death, so unless he saw someone else die, I don't think he could see the thestrals. For the same reason, I don't think their own deaths count either.

I find it kinda funny (and kinda sad) that Harry was so distraught and in denial about Cedric's death that it took about a year for him to see thestrals, whereas the "MC" in Hogwarts Legacy was just like...."yep, he ded. Lol" and saw thestrals IMMEDIATELY after 😭😅🙈

It’s nothing against him, he is talented with all the voices he does it is just something with some of his word fluctuations that i find jarring.

[@Angel.rbx0q]

I don’t think your death counts as witnessing death cause you can feel yourself die but you can’t see it

[@jeninabonina]

I think a ghost's own death would not count for the ghost as having seen death because they have not "died". In Order of the Phoenix Harry goes to see Nearly Headless Nick to ask if Sirius could have come back as a ghost. Harry asks "You're dead, aren't you?" Harry said exasperatedly. "Who can answer better than you?" to which Nick says "I was afraid of death,” said Nick. “I chose to remain behind. I sometimes wonder whether I oughtn’t to have … Well, that is neither here nor there. … In fact, I am neither here nor there. …” He gave a small sad chuckle. “I know nothing of the secrets of death, Harry, for I chose my feeble imitation of life instead.” That being said I would believe ghosts could not see thestrals because of their own not death. "I know nothing of the secrets of death"

[@StarlightSky16]

[@Lonewolf-dy5yb]

16:19 regarding the thestrals ridden in the Battle of Seven Potters, I believe Hermione didn't see Gibbon die, since she and Luna were in Snape's office after Snape stunned Professor Flitwick. Bill would've seen Gibbon's death if he was conscious, and I'm inclined to believe he did because it wouldn't make sense for both people riding a thestral to not be able to see it. Regardless, both Fleur and Bill would've been able to see the thestral after the battle, as both of them witnessed Mad-Eye's death.

A ghost would not have witnessed someone DYING, but they would still have witnessed DEATH.

Ghosts would experience their own death, not observe it, Witnessing death would imply observation not experience.

[@HeatherNickless-vt8zr]

I think seeing Thestrals in your after life is not as simple as just being witness to a newly present death of someone else's body; as the ghost is the same after death as it was in life, the perception of themselves will not change in how they see things unless they die as territorial souls. Ghosts have to remember how they died as well as remember as seeing some one else die before them when they are alive at the time of that death, they can see thestrals; but if they have never witnessed another death in life or have no memory of having died, then they would not be able to see thestrals at all and professor Bins would be the only ghost we know of for certain is the case as have never seen visible thestrals.

[@mikecrabtree8200]

It's crazy. If you stop and go through all the books or movies. Harry probably saw a dozen people die. He saw his mom. At least in the movie his father died in the hall or stairwell outside the room Harry and Lilly were in. Dobby, Dumbledore, Snape, Serious, Sedric, Voldimort. Who else?

[@AmyMillerKing]

Fred, if anyone could have truly witnessed it, Harry and Percy would be closest. Also maybe Lavender? (assuming she did die, officially she's just PRESUMED dead, but it's not confirmed) I think there was a scene in the books where Hermione blasted Fenrir off Lavender's living, dead or dying body. Wormtail, since Harry saw him get kileld by his hand. Does the people he saw die in his Voldy-vision dreams count? Because then I'd like to add Grindelwald and and X number of other people to the list. I'm pretty sure he saw Crabbe die too. Honestly, I think he saw just about every known dead person in the series die, since it's all through his perspective (aside from some people in the great hall post/mid battle of hogwarts)

[@JefferyMewtamer]

Regarding Bill, while it's impossible to know the exact death, Curse Breaking is implied, if not outright stated, to be a very dangerous occupation, so it's probable any curse breaker who's in the field long enough will witness at least one coworker set off a lethal curse by mistake. And while it's impossible to confirm, just as it's impossible to confirm the first death most Death Eaters saw and we have to use the major deaths with lots of witnesses to add them to the confirmed list of people who have seen death, I suspect most Aurors active during either of Voldemort's insurrections have seen Death in the line of duty, be it killing a Death Eater, seeing a comrade killed by a death eater, or seeing a bystander killed by a eath Eater or in a crossfire. Also, while I doubt I could see Thestrals regardless because of being blind to begin with(though talk about sucky superpowers if the magic that lets those who have seen death see Thestrals doesn't require the one seeing Thestrals to have working eyes), I just realized that, despite having lost an uncle, both parents, and both siblings to the final enemy(As an aside, fuck the Flamels for hording the secret to immortality), I haven't actually seen death. I think I was in the room when they took my sister off life support, but that was also after I went blind, so if the seeing death part is literal, I don't count.

The glasses fit perfectly for the video. You should wear them more often.

I love this knowledge I‘m learning because I’m a Huge Harry Potter fan I love your videos

Morgan, I have a question. What if you were to see a human die in their werewolf form? Would you see thestrals or not? Because technically werewolf’s can’t talk. Interesting to hear your opinion on it. Love the content, keep up the great work!

[@bbarrett726]

If I had to guess, it would depend on if the werewolf was under the influence of Wolfsbane potion or not.

A couple of things for Hogwarts Legacy. 1, Poppy may be able to see thestrals because she witnessed a poacher get eaten by a dragon and others burned to ashes by it however I do say may as there's no confirmation. But it is established by Deek the house elf that he can see them after witnessing his previous master's death.

The 3 muggle children Percival Dumbledore killed in retribution for Ariana could have meant 2 of the muggle kids could see thestrals in the case they were all present and if the kids didn't die all at once.

[@nickdentoom1173]

tbh, its not confirmed they died though, thats a movie thing they added for extra spice.
