20 Things In Harry Potter That Make No Sense 

"Do wizards go to the dentist?" No, they obviously cast a spell to have straight, white teeth!

1. Because JK explained that she wanted to make it that wizards/witches could be cured/treated for injuries/ailments caused by magic, but standard muggle injuries/ailments are more difficult to treat with magic. She wanted the distinction between the two. 2. The “dentist” part of the clock was never mentioned in the books - this was a discrepancy in the films. 3. I think some kids know about the sorting hat - but other families choose to keep it a surprise 🤷‍♀️ in the books Fred and George had wound Ron up by saying they face a painful test or something along those lines. 4. Pretty sure the three headed dog would have done a pretty good job as opposed to the rickety old wooden door that could have just been blown up. 5. How do you know they did get the train lol? 6. Again, a discrepancy in the films - not the books. 7. They’re literally wizards and witches 😂 bit different to a normal school. 8. It’s happened, World Cup - victor Kringle caught the snitch but Ireland won. 9. Ron had been staying with them - something I don’t think was mentioned in the films. 10. It did scar Ron, it stayed with him for a while and he mentioned it from time to time, especially in the book, he was freaked out. Fred and George probably didn’t really know who pettigrew was considering they would have been very very young when he supposedly died. Maybe just thought he was a student they didn’t know 🤷‍♀️ doubt they spent much time staring at Ron in bed on the map 👀. Oh and you’ve gotta think there would have been 100s upon 100s of names on that map and they were only using it for the secret passages so might not have even noticed his name. 11. I’m guessing “accio” would have been taught in charms maybe? We don’t really see much of charms class. 12. The slytherin rivalry goes back to the founders - and in deathly hallows (the book) a lot of them do come back and stand on the side of good. 13. DATDA was a cursed subject ever since old Voldy applied for the job and didn’t get it. 14. Time turners had to be ministry approved. 15. It’s not really relevant? 16. Can’t send a parcel or the daily prophet through a mirror 👀. 17. Any name given by the cup has to compete, It’s a binding magical contract similar to an unbreakable vow, and if you break and unbreakable vow - you die🤷‍♀️. 18. Multiple job options in the ministry, shop keeper, wand maker, teacher, author, alchemist, astronomer, multiple jobs at gringotts, broom maker, executioner, journalist, owl trainer, quidditch, multiple jobs at st mangos, the list goes on… 19. Molly was the perfect person to kill bellatrix- she did so much damage to her family and friends and it was personal, for an unforgivable curse to work you need to mean it, and molly meant it. 20. Modern muggle technology doesn’t really work properly at hogwarts, and besides we as muggles have many useless pointless gadgets, maybe a rememberall is just one the many gimmicky items the wizarding world possesses 🤷‍♀️. In short - read the books kids. 📖

For the dentist one, i just wanted to say that that detail on the clock was left out of the book so it’s actually more of a movie mistake lol 🤣

Self-inking quills exist, as do self writing quills (Rita Skeeter's Quick Quotes Quill). As for Molly being the one to take out Bellatrix, I thought is was such a strong character arc for her. She was seen as a mollycoddler, but she was always fierce and formidable. She had just lost her son, and Bellatrix was threatening her only daughter. There is nothing more dangerous than a mother defending her young. Molly was out for blood.

A lot of this stuff is actually explained. First off, nobody WANTED the DADA job because it was cursed. That's why we got Lockhart and Quirell. Any other teacher has a reason behind it-- I have a headcanon Remus was hired for more information about Sirius. Mad-Eye was hired for protection from Karkaroff, Umbridge was sent by the ministry, Snape was for Dumbledore's plan that he would die and Amycus Carrow was hired by Voldy so that... yeah.

The Things: "Why is this like this?" Me: "So the movie can happen."

It annoys me that all of these are based off the films. The books have three times more details.

Harry Potter is my past, present and future 😜

The issue with Slytherin being a "bad house" and why didn't someone try to change that is a bit flawed. Slytherin is not unpopular with the other houses nearly as much as with Gryffindor. The other houses get along fine with them. They rooted against Slytherin during the quiddich matches because they were tired of seeing them win all the time. Our POV is from Gryffindor and Slytherin, and in particular, Harry and Malfoy.

Alternative title: "Lets rant about TheThings that would have made sense if I had read the books..."

For jobs in the magical world, you are forgetting something: There are all those shops in Diogonally and Hogsmade. Many could get a job at store such as Flourish And Blotts or Honeydukes or they could open their own shop, like Fred and George did!

if Hogwarts wasn't dangerous then half the books and movies would just be a normal school who did typical things. Where would the creativity be?

Harry Potter videos always comes with some new details.

I'm so happy that harry potter was made like 20 years ago and people are still talking about harry potter

Maybe your writer could read the books and check Pottermore before complaining about things that have already been explained.

4:50 Fred and George: Our brother has been sleeping with this Peter-guy for a while now… *proceeds to ask Ron about his secret boyfriend*

The school didn’t give Hermione the time turner, it was McGonagall. She being a great professor I’m sure she saw the potential Hermione carried like those students that do extra curricular activities. Also we do know why Peter disguised as a rat but it’s so long that I’m too lazy to summarize lol so y’all re read the books or sum sheesh.

Snape, "My office is protected by a spell only a wizard could break!" In a castle with a 1000 wizards in it.

Have you even read the books because most if not all of the points where answered in the books or later by jk Rowling. This is clearly based on the films and the films got many things wrong or just could not explain things as clearly or at all in comparison to the books Also Molly Weasley was q very powerful witch and sh didn't use an unforgivable curse at all, Molly Weasley came from and extremely powerfull family called the prewets and was a very capable super even is she did not often display that.

Glasses were a fashion statement. Moreover, wizards might be able to fix bones, but not necessarily eyes, like muggles can fix cough, not cancer.

Fixing Eye Sight Spell Interesting.

remous was a good teacher!!!!

'What... is a rUbBeR dUcK?' 'Oh.' Love this

You know, when i was little every time i watch shows that have things that doesnt make much sense, i always ask my mom about it, but the more i grow up, the more i realise to ignore those things, because thinking about it just ruin the show. I like to remind myself "these world have their own logic".

With the hat thing, Ron wasn't told he thaught you had to fight a troll

In the book catching the snitch doesn't win the game, it ends the game and gives 150 points to the seeker's team. Apparently the game goes on until someone catches the snitch, which could mean that if the team of the seeker who caught the snitch was behind by more than 150 points, that team would still lose. That's a place where the movies really drop the ball.

For the Scotland back tracking one, I think that the Scottish students are given a different way to hogwarts

About Triwizard Rules, I heard in another video that one whose name emerges from goblet of fire, he or she has to participate otherwise they'll die..... It's somewhat like unbreakable vow.... As for after Hogwarts point there are few other careers such as magic zoologist, diagon alley shopkeeper, newspaper reporter,etc. The whole series is based on mother's love.... So the scene molly kills Bellatrix portrays that it's so strong as to kill the most dangerous death Eater.... And in another video I gotta know that she never actually used the killing curse on Bellatrix... It was some other one otherwise why did she burst into pieces? She should have died like an ordinary person without any scratch and body unharmed.... (exception of Harry and voldemort)

Well honestly I think Dumbledore never in his wildest dreams imagined a war to happen on Hogwarts grounds, I mean comon !! Who would think that a war would commence on a school ground ??!! Moreover voldemort was only after harry & not the school so he made sure harry was prepared to face him

It’s the movie. In the book there is no dentist on the clock. Also the sorting hat sings its own song each year. I think the surprise is just for the movie lol I don’t recall anyone shocked or surprised in the book.

Three important words that you have to take into consideration: READ THE BOOKS.

4:06 it was mentioned in the books that he stayed with the Weasleys/a wizarding family because he wanted to be updated on whether Black has escaped or not. He also stayed there because he wanted to know if he was still safe or not.

technically all these things made sense except the remembralls. You will find the answers in the books. and many things that you mentioned were there in the books but not the movies and actual harry potter is the books.

Many of these can be explained easily. The dentist in the clock was never mentioned in the books. It was mentioned in the books that parents can drop of their children at hogwarts if they want.

Molly didn't use an unforgivable curse.

For the first one , it is clearly mentioned that even magic has its limits

molly is really powerful and she was from a powerful family, she didn’t show much power when she was at home tho but that doesn’t mean she’s useless. Also businesses and cooks, waitress, and conducters? wizards did this for money aswell

There is actually a dentist in diagon alley😌

I remember watching harry potter 1 on a school trip in the cinema and it truly was a magical experience. The way the following movies developed, combined with watching the actors grow at roughly the same rate as me is why I'ts still one of my favourites ever since.

An orphaned boy enrolls in a school of wizardry, where he learns the truth about himself, his family and the terrible evil that haunts the magical world.

It really bothers me in the first book that the philosophers stone was supposed to be better protected at Hogwarts than at Gringotts and yet a group of three first years where able to get it.

Lupin was a good teacher because he changed Harry and Hermione and everyone else very well that's why Hermione didn't snitch that he was a werewolf because he was the best defense against the dark arts professor

We never know what spell Mrs weasley uses in the book to down bellatrix. A lot of this is movie mistakes. Y’all didn’t read the book and it shows lmao

Your childhood is nothing if u havent watched HARRY POTTER

If hermoine had a time turner she could’ve easily gone back in time before the war to warn Harry or dumbledore she had soo much power

even if Harry potter was the most insane book series ever i'd still read it lol

Harry Potter is my childhood and everything I really love every video that you have done @TheThings

Hermione was 14 when she had the Time Turner. Her birthday is September 12th.

The train makes me confused hermionie wasnt on school and used magic

A magical safety net during quidditch match’s would have made a massive difference. :)

Amazing video 👍

And, you could always charm an ink bottle to keep refilling itself! I mean, isn't that what McGonagall did except, it was on a goblet of pumpkin juice?

i think fred and george didnt know who peter pettigrew was, because they didnt know anything about harry's parents or sirius

“They look like 30” Them: EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

The reason that worm tail stayed with Ron was that he wanted to know if “he who should not be named” came back. Cuz would muggles know if he came back?😂

For the scabbers Weasley one, Peter became a rat so he can get information and give it to Voldemort

7:15 - These were not just regular owls. They were magical owls with far more power and understanding than their muggle version.

Well, I've always been wondering what happens when the witches' periods come for a visit. Like do they use pads or not

2:00 - remember this was in the first film, and security was increased after the events of the first film. Also remember, being magical people, they have a feeling of being indestructible, which can make them complacent.

The thing about the dentists... Ron’s family is just careful and the others are stereotypical brits

One thing that doesn't make since is that Barty Crouch Jr (disguised as Moody) is allowed to use unforgivable curses in front of a bunch of 4th years in a classroom. The Ministry of Magic specifically states that such use is a one way ticket to Azkaban, but get somehow Moody seems to get away with it with no clear explanation

Peter Pettigrew stayed in wizard family because he was looking for news of Voldemort returns. It's said in books. As for Dumbledore not hiring better Dada teacher. Voldemort put a jinx on job so no teacher lasted longer than year. It means 30 teachers in 30 years give or take. And look on fate of 7 teachers that were there during Harry's years. No wonder Dumbledore had trouble getting anyone accept the job. It's all in books.

I’m surprised Wizards don’t know about Dentistry and rubber ducks.

I think jk Rowling chose molly weasly to kill belletrix lestrege because mollys bogart was all of her children and harry being dead on the floor and belatrix was about to kill all of them so I think that by choosing this charecter it shows how much molly cares and how much anger she felt at the time also it shows she has overcame her fear

Nah don’t disrespect molly she had the power of love on her side

I got an ad that said “Mugler” and I thought that it said “Muggle” 👱‍♀️🤛

8:12 Molly did not use an Unforgivable Curse, she used something else.

I read the books and saw the movies and I learned that everything in the Wizarding world is different, dangerous, but also fun. I want to go to this world and never come back!

Another common mistake when scabbers ,a.k.a Peter changes to human form he has clothes with him but when he escapes in a scene , while he turns back again to the rat form he leaves the clothes behind but that explains when he was exposed by sirious he had clothes ........ Hmmmm intresting 😐😐🤔

The thing that Neville forgot was his uniform everyone was wearing their full uniform but he was not

3:15 that's because Hagrid does not know whats dangerous to others

Scabers lived with ron so he could hear if voldormort was back in power so he could rejoin him

The Quidditch thing is a bit confusing at first, but gets explained better in the books. Been a while since I read them, so I'll try to remember the best I can... The opposing Quidditch team can have 510 points and still lose to the other at 360 points after the Snitch had been caught. The Quidditch season determines, not by the amount of wins you have at the end of the season, but by the amount of points you've accumulated by then.

The reason that nobody talked about the sorting hat was because the sorting hat was the secret keeper of the sorting hat. But. Then Voldemort put it on fire and then all the people to have heard of the sorting hat before the battle of Hogwarts would have been the new secret keepers

Neville forgot his cloak

7:25 - if you bothered to show the rest of the scene with Barty Crouch, you will have heard him say that it was a binding magical contract, the moment Harry's name came out of the goblet but also the following scene with Dumbledore, Snape and McGonagall, where Dumbledore takes Snape's suggestion to allow the situation to unfold, so they could understand what was happening.

I think madam pomfrey Will be every type of doctor like making hermiones teeth smaller like being the dentist like that

Somebody explained about the sorting hat has a special charm that can't be told or something like that and its something called a fidelius charm

When I come to think of it; not many people have glasses in the Harry Potter movies. It's Harry and Dumbledore for the most, and Dumbledore isn't even using glasses all the time. The answer is that Harry Potter is supposed to look like that, and he is too young to even start thinking of it. I am sure that with all his money, and possibly knowledge of the muggle world, he could potencially go fix his eye sight with laser. If this was back in the 70-80s it would be much scarier though. For me it was 2 minutes on each eye, with some apparatus, and the laser itself. Even if it was scary af, it was done very quick, and with no pain.

The defense against the dark arts teachers wer all last minute pickd since that job is cursed, and umbridhe was given it because Dumbledore couldn't find anyone. These people haven' read the books that much

What is the function of a rubber duck, always gets me laughing.

I like that Harry had glasses Bc he wouldn’t have looked right without them

The reason that no one knew about the sorting hat is because there was a Fidelius Charm cast by the headmaster/headmistress meaning no one aside from them could mention the sorting hat

It would have been better to have based the comments on the books rather than the films, i.e. source material

In the philosophers stone book when Oliver Wood is training Harry, Harry says so it’s like basketball but in the air with broomsticks. And then Wood asks What’s basketball? I dont get it, they all grew up in the muggle world (except Ronald and some others)

some of these answers can be answers: dumbldore hired dangerous defense against the dark arts teachers bcs they were the only one who signed up, hagrid said “people say the jobs jinxed”

They do make sense we just don't understand much in harry potter, and i know this is just for content.

In the movies, Harry isn't carrying Cedric's body when he returns at Hogwarts, but when he appears, he does have it. See, the books are so much better :')

About platform 9 3/4: How do Muggle Born students know how to get there in the first year?

Luoin is in the list of unsuitable teachers in that subject , how insulting to Lupin as he was their best teacher in that subject

for the pettigrew and freddie and gegorge one I think that only maruders can see other maruders

"Do wizards go to the dentist?" yeah duh. if they have another way hermione would use it imidiattly

They couldn’t make a spell to fix Harry’s eyesight because at the time Danielle Radcliffe did have terrible eyesight and needed to keep on his glasses for every movie.

I have a question about the movies too, how come Harry can’t see the skeleton horses until the 5th book/movie? He saw his parents die when he was 1

Wait that quidich one made my brain melt. It makes perfect sense (bar the flying).

Actully Hermione was taking a lot more than a few more classes. She was taking at least 10 more classes

With the sorting hat they cant tell anyone about it because of an enchantment which means that it's impossible to tell anyone who doesn't know about the sorting hat about it. Once people know they can talk freely. The reason harry can tell James about it at the end of deathly hallow part 2 is because the hat was destroyed in the battle if Hogwarts at the same time breaking the enchantment

8:35 is anyone else is still wondering it’s his robe or in other words clock

I don't know how- But I've watched the movie 5 times and reading the books rn But I'm NEVER bored! Like I am in most movies and that makes it fun! **I'm a Gryffindor btw**

for some parts of the video i think you did not read the books. for your information Pettigrew lived with the weasleys to keep up on what is happening in the wizarding world. I also think that the battle of hogwarts took place at hogwarts is because they couldn't get 1000 students out of the school in time.
