[@iimax_9135]

Will you be doing a Kahoot live? Please

[@ThomasEspinola-oi6lb]

Hii

[@dfj3305]

I have a question and it’s more of a what if I suppose. Do you think there were wizards that had jobs at security cards at king cross station? We know there is jobs where wizards have to blend in with muggles and kings cross station every year is so busy with muggles when the school year is starting and ending.i find it impossible that no muggles see wizard families going in or coming out of a brick wall is not noticed and reported on and so wizard guards acting as muggles would make way more sense so they can erase the muggles memories.

[@kylecollins3755]

I think she had a constant internal battle between hating and loving the wizarding world. Hating it for not allowing her in. On the other hand, I think she likes knowing something other people don’t know, she also loved her sister, and she still gets to be a part of the world, if she keeps the secret.

[@Hendricus56]

I mean, as the sister and aunt to a witch and a wizard, she is definitely part of the wizarding world. Very adjacent but still a part

[@PokemonkaDub]

@@Hendricus56 It's like letting a kid smell the candy and watch it behind the glass but never taste. It's kinda worse.

[@joaquinarcilla1277]

I love how the intro to this was so long... just because Ben on a whole tangent of "What if my wife, was secretly a witch" which really just became "Oh my gosh cleaning is so tedious I wish I had magic"

[@Marihl1354]

Yeah it was 6 freaking minutes of setup!

[@Rattled76]

She didn’t say anything because she didn’t want anybody to think she was crazy. She wanted to be normal as possible

[@charliedegiulio9951]

Thank you very much

[@carlrood4457]

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series has something called an SEP field which enhances the natural inclination to ignore what we don't want to know about. It's easier and cheaper than making something invisible. SEP stands for Somebody Else's Problem. Doctor Who calls it a perception filter

[@rin-eri]

I definitely agree about Petunia. They're so focused on being normal. Trying to out the wizarding world wouldn't be getting back at the Wizards. It would only serve to make Petunia look like a conspiracy theorist. Then she'd be outcast from both the wizarding AND muggle worlds.

[@Amlock87]

Ben calling Snape a melodramatic bat made me laugh.

[@Zack-dw5op]

I think it's only difficult to reveal BECAUSE it is kept so secret. Like if wizards everywhere stopped trying to keep it a secret, there would be enough evidence that people would believe it, but since they mitigate that evidence so heavily, on the rare occasion that some experience gets out, it is met with skepticism because evidence is so rare

[@MoxxoM]

13:45: That doesn't prevent me from going there though. A ruin in the middle of nowhere with noone around? Are you kidding me?

[@hopelessnihilist1425]

This was always my thoughts too. I love a dilapidated building, a sign isn't gonna do it for me 😂

[@PizzaMineKing]

"Sooo... What paperwork do I need to file to restore that ruin to be secure enough to run a LARP weekend there?... Wow, that's a lot of regulations... So gonna be worth it though!... Who am I gonna have do the work? I got a group of nerds, some have an archeology degree, others have architects in their families..."

[@TheKabuto90]

That does make me wonder what would happen if a muggle ignored the sign and actually went inside

[@Bradferd333]

Cue Indiana Jones Theme Song!

[@MoxxoM]

@@TheKabuto90 Unless they can make the real castle and everything in it intangible somehow, I think you would run into invisible walls, no? But if you can do that for the whole grounds, except vegetation and such, why bother with the sign in the first place; or the ruins for that matter? That seems more like an invitation for many.

[@grizzlee7290]

I think it’s because she respected her sister somewhere in there but I think overall it’s because she wanted to be as different from her sister as possible by being completely normal in every way, that’s why the first part of the book is dedicated to explaining how mundane and regular the Dursleys are

[@sambathelionking]

28 families is enough families to avoid imbred problems. They just aren't being smart about it.

[@maximilianosalvador9559]

I'm no biologist, but I doubt a genepool that limited is enough to last too many generations

[@BigFlopppa]

Using the United Kingdom as reference you would need about 50 families (assuming every family has two kids) to be able to grow a population without genetic disorders from inbreeding

[@sambathelionking]

Prediction before I watch: she is too horrified to be associated with the witch and wizarding world that she keeps it quiet.

[@Cecelia-n7c]

Question, how did Dumbledore not know that the Potters had switched their Secret Keeper from Serious to Peter Petegrue? That seems like something he should know

[@lukeroberson2115]

My belief is that James is the one who cast the spell. So the only ones who would know would be James, Lily, Peter, and Sirius. They could just use the paper trick Moody did for a way for others to be let in on the secret. I could even see them having Peter with the paper and just say Sirius wrote it.

[@Chad-xb5et]

I don’t know how you guys keep this stuff up.. Your channel keeps part of my childhood alive when I thought Harry Potter was finished. Thanks Brothers

[@a.ychristian3562]

I'll use my early arrival for some good: What if Voldemort was raised by the Gaunts instead of at the orphanage?

[@renatoramos8834]

He would have prefered the orphanage.

[@viktoria_pikovsky]

Would it even be possible for the Gaunts to accept him as their family?! Considering how pure blood crazy they were, I don't think they would have been too keen into welcoming a half-blood into their home. Let alone raise Tom Riddle as their grandchild & teach him about the magical world. Tho if they did, I wonder Whether Tom would had been even more crazy about pure blood in wizards, or much "softer" about it. And how much he would had felt bullied/ wronged for being half blood, and a descendant of Salazar Slytherin all in the same time.

[@triforceofcourage100]

Somehow I don’t think this is better

[@Mew_Mokuba_Akari]

I'll up your question. What if after Tom was born his mother released his father from the spell. He heads for the hills and distraught she either takes the baby and does a Moses by magic up a boat and put the baby on it and letting him go. Letting fate decide. Another what if she used apparition and went to a far away muggle town dumped Tom with no name or anything connecting him to the wizarding world and was adopted into a loving home would he still be crazy and want pure blood status when he doesn't know who his family is.

[@GoeTeeks]

@@Mew_Mokuba_Akari I mean if you really wanted to up it, what if Tom Sr. took baby Tom with him, rather than leaving him with his mother?

[@JustACactus616]

Fear… Harry didn’t just lose a mother that night. She lost a sister

[@coolnerdlll6053]

Why they cut that line from the movie, I'll never know. It's one of my favorite things not in the books.

[@danaharris8108]

​@@coolnerdlll6053that line is in the movie. When it's just her and Harry in the house alone, before everyone else shows up to go to Ron's house. ❤

[@DeviousFink]

I could do without it. They need to stick with what's in the books and not take so many liberties. It was deleted for a reason

[@onedaysoon5351]

​@@danaharris8108It's a deleted scene. It was never in the theatrical cut

[@coolnerdlll6053]

​@@DeviousFink I like that it gives Petunia an actual resolution, which I'd argue is really important since the whole story revolves around Lily.

[@arcada_shifter]

Doyleist answer: Unfortunately, I think it’s all just symptomatic of world-building that wasn’t very well thought out. Watsonian answer: I think the Fidelius Charm could prevent someone that’s suspicious of magic from being able to expose it but it wouldn’t stop those who have been told the secret, thereby becoming secret keepers themselves, from exposing it. But since muggles seeing the flying car was such a major threat to the secret then it can’t be being kept via Fidelius Charm.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

There are 36 reasons, I counted them myself

[@acid0428]

36, but last year last year I had 37!!

[@Alex-cw3rz]

@acid0428 err...yes, but some of these reasons are quite a bit bigger than last year

[@Agnoletta]

Having your child fall into a snake cage when the glass enclosure might be convinced

[@coolnerdlll6053]

I always wondered how parents of Muggle-borns are held to the Statute of Secrecy. Maybe Muggle-born kids automatically go under a Fidelius charm or something, because if my kid turned out to be a magician, I'd be begging to tell the entire neighborhood.

[@lnsflare1]

3rd tier Auror Supervisor, Stereotypus Notquiteaslur: "What was that? You want to have all your memories of the past 20 years erased and then be locked in a Muggle institution for the mentally infirm for the rest of your life? Weird request, but if you're so insistent on it..."

[@Saimeren]

This makes me think of the Love Death & Robots episode "The Drowned Giant". The basic synopsis is that everyone sees this massive giant man dead on the beach. Everyone is fascinated by it, and wants to check it out. And then slowly over the course of a few weeks people lose interest in it as parts of him go missing and he becomes more deformed. People stop caring and move on with their lives. Soon the main character is driving through town and can see bits and pieces of the giant throughout the city and countryside, but people eventually re-brand the giant as just some sort of sea beast. As if they had completely forgotten what they had seen and experienced. Instead of a giant man, they kind of just remember it as a thing from the ocean, a whale perhaps. Instead of remembering this awesome being that they saw, they simply tell themselves that it's illogical and fill in the gaps with something that's more logical to them, despite having experienced it for themselves. Basically, magic is too farfetched to be real, therefore it isn't. And even if they experience it themselves, they'll eventually convince themselves that it wasn't magic and that it had to be something else. Something more logical.

[@eimearbane966]

Re the idea of the Fidelius charm on the sorting hat - I love this idea, but doesn't Harry tell Albus about the hat, and tells him he can ask what house to be put in?

[@PizzaMineKing]

Pretty sure there was a previous episode concerning that: Essentially, during the battle of hogwarts, the sorting hat got damaged enough to count as dead for the purposes of the charm, making basically everyone secret keeper.

[@Martyn_Wolf]

15:35 Issue is as Arthur mentioned after the death of Albus "now that there are around 20 secret keepers it greatly decreases the strength of the charm" when he was talking about the Fidaleus Charm to Harry. If all the wizards/witches are secret keepers. Then the charm itself is excruciatingly weak and highly easy to break. I don't agree with it being a Fidaleus Charm. Given that Petunia told Vernon, means that there's no charm stopping anyone from sharing the information. It's not shared because of trust... And they can obliviate or modify the memory if needed.

[@Gilanas]

Because she would look crazy and the wizards would retaliate

[@sue-ellenlightbody2337]

Oh yay I’m early. I’m usually asleep when you upload (different country and all). Thanks guys for a nice early Saturday morning surprise 😊

[@Andraszingst]

Huh, never thought of that...thanks for this video

[@andrewwashere82]

Regarding what kind of evidence I'd need to believe in magic: I'm pretty sure David Blaine is a wizard. I assume the Wizarding world allows him to entertain for a living: prob to desensitize us to real magic. Since we've already seen it in his shows, under the guise of tricks and illusions, sleight of hand, blah blah blah, we'd assume that's all it was. Yes, I'm on to you. Bet there's some witches and wizards in the comments section right now. 👀

[@insertclevernamehere1186]

Boys, he's onto us. You know what to do.

[@risuwolf]

Fun fact: I have a pirate character in one of my fantasy stories, and I base their talking style on the way you depict Hagrid's speech 😅

[@leventebardossy5962]

I think there is actually a condition-based protection spell. It's like the Taboo. When someone says Voldemort's name, it unlocks an alarm. The secrecy spell is more complicated, but it has the same basics. When you choose a Muggle spouse, you unknowingly put a spell on them. This spell is, I think, based on Legilimency, and it has a simple trigger mechanism. It's activated as an alarm spell when your Muggle spouse learns about the existence of the Wizarding World. When the Muggle spouse thinks of the Wizarding World, it's triggered. I think there are two ways for this. Either they forget about magic when nobody is around them who is linked to it (like your spouse forgets about it when you're not with them), and the Obliviate spell is reversed when they get back to Wizarding company. Or, the thought of telling others about having a relationship with a magical person (which always precedes actually talking about it, even if only a tenth of a second) triggers a spell like the Muggle-repellant spells, also based on Obliviate, but when they forget about the Wizarding World, they forget about talking about it, thus re-locking the memory spell. A circular thing that is still foolproof, as the thought (or lack of it) is bewitched before they could talk.

[@Flame737-Flame]

This channel is incredible I love your videos! Keep up the Good Work!

[@adamscholfield3371]

6:12 these introductions can get pretty lengthy 😂😂😂

[@maximilianosalvador9559]

I think it's just that as muggles we are so reluctant to accept magic unless we see a big display of it first hand. Which is why oblibiators are so important in those cases. Even Vernon who knows about magic didn't understand what was happening with the wizard he crossed on the street celebrating Voldemort's downfall and assumed that was just a crazy man. Also Harry's accidental magic as a kid was showing up in school and I don't think there were any oblibiators there.

[@FlameMoose37]

George Macdonald has a book called The Princess and the Goblin in it her Grandmother does a form of magic. Well she wants her to reveal herself to the boy. But she tells her it wouldn’t be much use cause he won’t believe and just think that it had been a dream. I think something like this would happen if someone revealed magic to me.

[@lnsflare1]

Because she didn't want to get tossed into an institution, then have a wizard Apparate in and Obliviate her back to childhood.

[@nhansen197]

I just have to point out that if my keys were to shrink down so tiny I can't find them, I'd have to assume the best logical answer. I'd need to see them shrink before I'd even consider the possibility. As for shrinking keys to bait muggles, I'd think that most people would just find it mildly annoying never once thinking about magic.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

These videos are always great! Thanks For this 😊😊😊😊

[@owencoles2798]

What I think would be funny is if the secrecy is being constantly exposed but no one knows cause people a preforming at magic shows and stuff. And maybe that’s also why we have the phrase “a magician never tells his secret”.

[@Lordpooz09]

Do you think those Muggle repelling charms work on Muggles who already fully know about magic? (I.e. Jacob at Hogwarts)

[@DizzyedUpGirl]

A full 1/3rd of the video was before the unisoned "Hey Brother!" and I respect that.

[@josecuestas7246]

Perhaps Petunia is aware from some aspects from the Wizarding world, like the laws about hides the magic from Muggle world. Making that Petunia fears that the Ministry come after them, if she or Vernom tries to reveals the Wizarding world to the Muggles, out of fear that the wizards come to arrest them for be exposing them.

[@hopelessnihilist1425]

You killing yourself laughing this episode is sendddinggg me 😂😂 thanks for the upload, brother

[@Necromancer4267]

This makes me think of one of my favorite thought experiments for friends. How many people in a city, state, country, whatever would have to show up with bite marks on their necks before you would ACTUALLY consider that Vampires are real?

[@ajwinberg]

Petunia, knowing and not telling, was something I always wondered about, too.

[@juliaandres4427]

The end credits were the best 😆😆 looks like a normal day at the office for SCB

[@andrewwashere82]

14:50 This makes me want a WiB spinoff series!

[@TheNostalgiaMerchant]

Same.

[@kandipiatkowski8589]

This reminds me about the tv show Charmed. They were always having to keep their powers secret from everyone else....even when the literal "bad guys" didnt care.

[@mackenzieviews7682]

I was not expecting the puppet pals reference. I nearly spit out my drink

[@mangekyo9216]

revealing the wizarding world would mean losing all of her memories of her sister and snape. Imagine your whole childhood just being erased, while your parents r grieving the death of your sister that u cant remember.

[@xero1048]

I had a mini heart attack every time Ben coughed without covering his mouth

[@brandibastian4193]

LOL almost a third of the way through the video before we even hear the theme music

[@charleswasilausky4289]

I always thought that the muggle born parents had a spell of some kind placed on them that makes it impossible to talk about the wizarding world to anyone except their kids and teachers at hogwarts

[@thechatteringclown]

Because a.) who's she gonna tell? who would even believe her? most people would probably just think she's crazy. and even if they believed her, there are enough people around who know how to mind wipe others, so even if she tried it probably would just be useless and b.)she doesn't actually hate the wizarding world, that's vernon. petunia was incredible jealous that, unlike her sister, she didn't have any magical aptitude and wasn't allowed into hogwarts, so, to get some kind of feeling of revenge, she distant herself as much as she could by marrying a guy who absolutely hated magic. but she probably still secretly loved it and yearned to be a part of, even if she never could, so she wouldn't actually want anything bad happen to it.

[@chuckled125]

I'm surprised you didn't bring up the Mist, because that's really what it feels like. Actually, I bet Rick Riordan looked at this aspect of Harry Potter and went "Hmm, let's do that but have it actually make sense"

[@JitteryJackanape]

My guess is that Dumbledore requested that of petunia to keep Harry hidden and safe.

[@fantasylegendsbookshelf-b8y]

I have a what if idea for you what if Harry was reborn with all his memories like what if instead of Harry returning to the living Harry is giving a chance to go back and be reborn with all his memories

[@assassincharizard]

It's always been weird that wizards basically only exist for the sole purpose of making sure muggles don't know they exist.

[@Martyn_Wolf]

16:13 People see the Sorting Hat upon walking into the great hall. That's when they are in on the secret.

[@PokemonkaDub]

Magic first took Petunia's sister away from her, making her feel small and taking Lilly away into a WORLD she was FORBIDDEN from following. Her jelausy is understandable. Then when the school was over? She married another wizard, a pureblood, in a way deviding them even more (a man who Harry looks exactly like). Then it took her away from her by killing her. Forever. Her hatered can be understandable too. Towards magic, not towards Harry. Not right or excusable, but understandable.

[@mecahhannah]

Awesome as always thanks guys ❤️

[@Emperor_Oshron]

i somehow was never expecting to see a Potter Puppet Pals reference here XDDDDD

[@PatrickTillman7]

Don't think the sorting is protected in the same way. At the end of deathly hallows Harry tells his son that the hat takes his choice into account

[@adamlawrence7772]

Now there's a weird thought. What happens if you use a Memory charm to remove the memory of what the secret is from a Secret Keeper for the Fidelius Charm?

[@roseszymanski]

Currently in a play where I have to do an Irish accent, Seamus Finnigan is my inspiration ✨

[@PhilBagels]

It would be extremely easy to reveal the magical world. Any of these methods should work: * Let muggles come into Hogwarts castle, or into Diagon Alley, or any other magical place. * Show them a magical creature, such as a niffler, or a bowtruckle, a centaur, a troll, a giant, even a dragon with sufficient safety precautions. * Cast a spell or two in front of them - ones that can't be simulated by stage magic. Levicorpus or Wingardium Leviosa should do it. * Can muggles be affected by potions? * Let them try some magical candies or other food & drink (ton-tongue toffee not recommended).

[@pamela_fay]

Sorting hat secret: Harry told his son the secret to influencing the sorting hat, so I don't think there's any Secret Keeper stuff going on

[@FreedomAnderson]

If you’re referring to the epilogue in the final movie, they aren’t canon.

[@notrealcashper]

She knew voldy was about that action. She didn’t wanna FAFO

[@GoeTeeks]

To answer the question: It is the combination of the efforts of wizards to conceal magic and muggles to brush it off or, if learning or discovering the truth, fearing that no one would believe them without concrete proof, that makes magic possible to keep secret on a world wide scale. The thing that honestly boggles me though, is if the wizarding world is comprised of lots of muggle-borns and half-bloods, why are they so far behind in technology? Now for a different what if series: What if Harry, the chosen one, turned out to be a squib? Like, he's still attacked by Voldemort and the love charm still takes effect, but what if he had no magic himself?

[@captainspaulding5963]

Vacuuming is the EASIEST of cleaning chores!! I'd promise to not tell if I never had to clean the bathroom again, though

[@zephodb]

The accent that Hagrid uses is the same accent that they based the Pirate Accent on in Treasure Island... That's why they 'sound similar'. Also: I'd need to see the spell, in person, in a non-prepared space as far as the 'caster' is concerned... that's probably why performing spells in front of muggles is the 'no-no', seeing is believing as they say.

[@OverdriveGamesAnime]

Harry talked to his son about the hat at the end of Deathly Hallows

[@shinystarmiestudios4179]

I have said it before and I'll say it again. Introduce wizards to Motorsport, especially endurance racing, and it'll be as popular as quidditch within 5 years.

[@jklinker]

Re the sorting hat being under a Fidelius Charm... Does Harry tell Albus that the sorting hat takes your opinion into account?

[@lionchaser2012]

All I need is to be told I have always knew correctly that magic was real and then I would like a dragon and a niffler lol

[@patriciatownsend]

I would think that Dumbledore told her about the SOS, and her fear of him caused her to hold her tongue. They have corresponded at least twice after all.

[@goodsamaritangaming1997]

Look at Disney's Frozen 2 and you'll see why it's better not to reveal magic. It's a divisive subject where some will be in awe of it while others will fear it and hate it. As for Petunia, I believe there's a division between her and Lily, but I don't believe she hated her sister as much as she thought she did. I think she was projecting it, but she hated her parents for playing favoritism and not loving her enough.

[@EmilyCheetham]

If I married someone and they told me they were a wizard OR I had a magical kid I’d think it was AWSOME. But I’d want magic performed on me to prove it was real.

[@mathewcarnahan3664]

Dude! I JUST WATCHED the snape, petunia video, like an hour ago!

[@shawnbretthauer]

What about the possibility of the Ministry making a deal with muggles who are related to wizards with some sort of “gift” (*cought* bribe) to keep them silent. How did Mr. Dursley meet the man who needed to order a bunch of drills? Why was business so good? A little push by a wizard in the right direction.

[@mathewcarnahan3664]

Honored to be like# 394😂

[@kingsfoil5844]

I’m gonna guess fear and shame. She cares about how she’s perceived and her going round saying that witches and magic are real with no real proof is going to make her look insane. As for fear, she’s seen half the stuff Harry’s pulled when he’s mad and someone pointed out that she did lose her sister to magic too.

[@CollinBerry_Finn]

Gotta keep in mind Harry was a half blood even though both of his parents were wizards. So not every half blood has a muggle parent

[@darksca1804]

Didn't Harry tell Albus about the sorting hat at the end of Deathly Hallows?

[@SpectrumSwordtails]

Let's remember, the Ministry of Magic has the ability to alter memories and time travel. Also, for Petunia, saying her sister was murdered because she was a witch and now she had to take core of her magical son. Sounds like a looney to me.

[@donovanavery3718]

What if Aunt Petunia was a normal Aunt, that treated Harry like a surrogate son, and she took Harry as a little kid to Spinner’s End and introduced him to Snape. How would that change the story?

[@arinerm1331]

Stan Shunpike was right. We Muggles will explain away anything we see with our own eyes using logic as we know it, despite the evidence clearly presented. What was the explanation given for the collapse of the already-vacant WTC 7 building? "Jet fuel drained down the towers' staircases and elevator shafts and pooled under the WTC 7 building, where it was set alight by the boilers in the basement, burning out the WTC 7 foundation." **Seriously?** This was the only explanation ever offered. Funny that not all the jet fuel burned in the towers, huh?

My thing is, some ordinary people have to know wizards exist, because like petunia you might have a sibling who is a witch or wizard, or a child, or a parent, etc.. For them to come at Harry about his cousin seeing magic I think was a huge plot hole 🤔 correct me if I’m wrong tho

Why did Harry get in trouble in Order of the Phoenix if only his cousin, who knows about magic, is the only one who saw the charm? Or is it simply that the Ministry was after him by that point?

It was a setup.
