26 UNSOLVED Harry Potter Questions! ft Tessa Netting 

I'd say regarding why there is so few in Harry's year is because that was the climax of the first war, so less people were having children and others were dying. Like 1978-81 was probably on the lower side of wizard babies.

I feel like a lot of the questions could be answered if Harry was MORE OBSERVANT IN HIS EVERYDAY LIFE.

"We're going to give you Felix Felicis and a time turner. Go save the world"

in the books slughorn said that if you dont create felix felecies precisely that it could resault in death that is why its so rare

A wand strap would grant the user full immunity against disarming spell like Expelliarmus , GENIUS 😂

Uh..Ron is sleeping with somebody named Peter.. - Fred Nice - George Oh look Ginny is gone! - George That's.. Cool -Fred Omg look it says that Voldemort is balancing on Quirrel..-Fred Haha, let's go throw snoballs at him-George

My question is what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?

what if your fear is bogarts , what will u see ?? im gonna like this because no one else will D:

This year my year was ruined I turned 11 and didn't get my hogwarts acceptance letter Maybe the Owls are just late

I think they just choose to celebrate Christmas for fun. Like I'm Jewish but our family still puts up a tree and puts Chanukah gifts under it cause it's saucy.

“Are you smarter than a fifth grader?” Wizard: “I’m AS smart as a fifth grader”

No this is why "HAPPY Christmas Ron" "HAPPY christmas harry" God damn its merry christmas

"Magical puberty😂"

Actually, Jo answered why harry didn't see thestrals before. It was because to see a thestral you have to mourn the death first, you have to take it in. When he was a baby he didn't know what he was seeing. Then when he killed quirrell, he didn't mourn him, nor he really understood what he had done, because he was still too young. It's not until he sees cedric die that he knows what it means and only then he fully feels loss. That's why the next year (5th), when he has grieved, he's able to see thestrals. And about the technology and the efficient ways of muggles, I think that's the whole point. Back to basics, things we've forgotten, magic is all that matters.

The reason Peter didn’t appear on the map to Fred and George but he did appear to lupin is that the marauders made the map so they can’t be seen on the map by anyone but another marauder

It's 11 because in the UK that's the age to go to secondary school(high school) but I like your version better

I believe that peeves was born from the mischievous spirit of the students of the school

I KNOW WHAT THE PAINTINGS ARE PAINTED OUT OF... A *_MAGIC_* MARKER

For the bog arts I would assume that they have a fraction of the creatures power like a dementor for example. They would make you feel sad in their presence but the don't suck out your happiness

i have a question. why didn't harry's parents just choose to be ghosts so they could raise their son.

9:22 the difference between a poltergeist and a ghost is that a ghost is someone who was alive but then didn't want to leave the world when they died and a poltergeist not someone who has died but has been generated in a certain environment. e.g. peeves was generated at hogwarts because of all the mischief that happened with so many young people.

OH I WONDER WHAT'S IN THIS BROOM SHAPED PARCEL

The Hogwarts poltergeist borned like a poltergeist. He never was a human. He born because of the confusion and mess in the school

Peeves is basically a manifestation of all the mischievous spirit from the students. If Hogwarts was to be abandoned, Peeves would just disappear.

All right, here you go: 1. When Harry uses the Patronus Charm on the Dementor in the Triwizard Tournament, he realizes that it’s a Boggart because it stumbles. So it’s not literally turning into a Dementor-it’s more like a shadow of one. 2. In order to see Thestrals, it’s not enough to see someone die. You also have to understand and process what you’ve seen. Even after seeing Cedric die, he doesn’t see the Thestrals at first because he was still in shock. (And, yes, Harry passes out before Quirrell dies.) 3. I think it’s strongly preferable to tell them _before_ marriage, because otherwise it’s not fair to them. If they’re not cool with it, you modify their memory. Also, Lily didn’t actually do magic at home; Rowling said Petunia was exaggerating. Muggles can enter Diagon Alley if a wizard points it out to them. 4. No, your magical abilities are apparent by age seven. Hogwarts starts at eleven because it’s secondary school. Before that, wizards can either be homeschooled or attend Muggle primary schools. 5. The UK Prime Minister is only informed when the situation puts Muggles at risk. Like if you’re bringing dragons into the country or an alleged mass-murderer escapes from your high-security prison. 6. There’s a democratic election every seven years. (Although they’ll hold earlier elections if the Minister is removed from office.) There’s no limit to a Minister’s term. I highly doubt that Centaurs would have been permitted to vote. They also do not really recognize the Ministry as an authority. They likely would have found these _human_ matters beneath them. 7. NOOOOOO! It drives me crazy whenever people mention this! There was absolutely no reason for the Weasleys to see Pettigrew on the Marauder’s Map. Why would Fred and George be looking at their little brother’s dorm? They only used the Map to sneak around/out of Hogwarts. That’s why they gave Harry the Map-they’d already memorized all the secret passages, which was the main reason they used it. The only individuals they would have cared about seeing on that Map were Snape, Filch, Mrs Norris, etc. And with countless moving dots, they would never just _happen_ to see Pettigrew’s unless he were in the exact place they were looking. And before Sirius escaped, Scabbers was way too lazy for that to happen. 8. Cool question! I assume that it would eventually die. This reminds me of the Ravenclaw riddle about where Vanished objects go. 9. Yes (see #4). Hogwarts is a secondary school. (For Americans, that’s middle school combined with high school.) For primary school education, students attended Muggle schools or were homeschooled. 10. Because it’s a fixed timeline. Also, I know this wasn’t the question, but I often see people upset that the Time Turner was used to save Buckbeak instead of, e.g., Harry’s parents. So just in case anyone here is wondering: They use it to save SIRIUS. Saving Buckbeak is a means to that, and it’s nice because they can save _two_ innocent lives. But they wouldn’t have gone to all that trouble just for Buckbeak. And the only reason they were able to save either one of them was that neither one had been killed/Kissed yet. 11. Since it’s the Department of Mysteries, we can’t be sure, but the brains seem to be corporeal thoughts. (Like Madam Pomfrey tells Ron, “Thoughts can leave deep scars.”) The HP Wiki mentions that Legilimency was likely used there. 12. Yeah, the veil is used as a metaphor for death throughout the series, even when they’re not in the room. But that’s a really neat theory about the ghosts! (Or would their incorporeality prevent them from going through?) It could also be used for the death penalty, if that’s ever a thing… 13. Yes, that was the point! It makes Sirius’s death all the more devastating! But just to remind you, Harry didn’t even open the package until after Sirius’s death. When Sirius gives it to him, he vows never to open the package because he’s worried that Sirius will leave Grimmauld Place to help him and get caught. So when the time comes and he really needs it, he’s forgotten all about it. 14. I’m not entirely sure what the question was here, but the series _did_ take place in the ’90s. 15. BUT THE ÆSTHETIC!!! 16. Skele-Gro is a magical solution to a magic problem. Shrinking your teeth is cosmetic. Even Muggles have acne creams (although ours are way less effective). Eyesight seems different, you know? It’s genetic, so it may be inherently a part of you. Plus it would have to be incredibly specific, as everyone’s eyesight is going to be different. I would definitely not want to mess around with that! 17. Poltergeists are spirits of chaos. They are not dead humans, as they are neither human nor dead. They are probably amortal. Poltergiests usually do not take physical forms (but there are exceptions, like Peeves). Unlike ghosts, which are always incorporeal, poltergeists can move solid objects and directly interact with the physical world. 18. LOL. That would make it harder to conceal your wand and could potentially hinder your wrist movement, although it might prevent you from losing a buttock. 19. Nah, Aurors are way too important for that. But other Ministry employees deal with that sort of thing. Different departments handle different crimes. 20. Because Veritaserum can be fought. It only works on Barty Crouch, Jr. because he was extremely vulnerable at the time. This is similar to how polygraphs are rarely admissible in court. 21. This would definitely depend on the individual. I can’t speak for Christianity, but here’s my personal opinion as an Orthodox Jew: Divine occurrences would not be perceived as magic, as that would detract from their validity. However, magic could potentially be viewed as divine. Additionally, we take many things for granted that can be perceived as miraculous. 22. I WANT TO KNOW SO BADLY. Like, I know I shouldn’t want to, but I do. 23. Yes, you can still remember it. The cool thing is that humans actually do remember all that stuff, but we aren’t able to access our memories in so much detail. And if you leave it in your Pensieve, it’s not that you’ve lost your memory. It’s that you’re able to concentrate on other things. Personally, I think Pensieves could be immensely helpful for people with anxiety. 24. HA HA HA MATH. There were only forty students in Harry’s year. Don’t think about it too much. Although, if you do think about it, think about how the numbers were likely impacted by Voldemort. 25. It’s EXTREMELY difficult to make. Ron asked about it after Harry got Slughorn’s memory. Aside from being super complicated, it takes six months to brew. It also has dangerous side effects if you use it too frequently. In fairness, though, they did use it before the battle of Hogwarts in HBP. 26. Yup, they’re based on the painters’ impressions. But since Dumbledore knew his death was coming, he talked to his portrait a LOT beforehand, in preparation. And I don’t know if portraits ever marry, but the Fat Lady and Violet sure seemed pretty close…

I think they start Hogwarts at 11 because that is when secondary school starts in England

''WAS JESUS A WIZARD??''

Brizzy Voices Tessa Netting regarding the time turner question if you read the phrase on the larger ring it says and I quote: “I mark the hours every one Nor have I yet outrun the sun” so I think that means you can’t go back more than a day cause it can’t outrun the sun so maybe that’s why . P.S I love you both you’re amazing.

There's something that's always bugged me when people say "oh harry why don't you save your parents instead of buck beak?" Even if he did , it would literally create a paradox where harry goes back and isn't an orphan but then he never has to go back , so he would go back again and yadda yadda yadda.

BRIZZY + TESSA + HP == BEST VIDEO EVER!!💜💜

"I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER PRE-ALGEBRA!!" She would totally say that would't she...

*_M A G I C A L P U B E R T Y_*

Before they go to Hogwarts, wizards learn to talk, walk, read, write, and other basic things from their parents.

My question is, is there like a different prison for wizards who have committed crimes that aren’t horrible enough for Azkaban? Like, if someone robs a jewelry store, for example, that’s not something worthy for Azkaban. So where would they go?

Maybe only the marauders can only see the other marauders on the map

That thing with Peter and Ron there is a good theorie for it. Because the maraurders made the map. They enchanted it so only they could see the other maraurders. You sould watch Seamus Gormans theorie about it

CAN A DEMENTOR KILL A HORCRUX BY SUCKING ITS SOUL OUT???

My un answered question: WHERE IS MY HOGWARTS OR ILVERMORNY LETTER?!

me going to hogwarts: -laptop -cellphone -pencil -tracker for if i loose my wand -other muggle things that would be of great use...

The Thestral thing isn't just about seeing someone die, it's also understanding death and Harry at one year did not understand death at all. He also didn't see Quirrell die (at least not in the books); he fainted before it happend.

"Turn this water into rum" Harry:"What's he doing to that water?" OH I DONT KNOW

I think Harry couldn't see the thestrals was Bc he couldn't remember the night his parents died. All he says he remembers was a flash of green light and a high pitched scream. He couldn't see them after Quirel Bc he fainted before Quirel officially died. That my thoughts about it. Do u agree?

I have one: How come Harry gets “expelled” when he does magic in front of Dudley even though, the muggle-borns perform magic in front of their parents and Dudley was family? And: The answer to the question about Wizarding kids before they go to Hogwarts is that some families home school their kids before they go to Hogwarts because that’s what Molly Weasley did for her kids. Also: I think ghosts can’t touch things because they would just go right through them and Poulterguists (don’t know how to spell that) can touch and move things(and drop things on students:)) AND: Peter Pettigrews death was very publicized and he received an order of Merlin first class award so he was pretty famous so the twins had to have known who he was.

Maybe (idk if anyone has said this) Harry didn’t see his mom when he dyed because he couldn’t see through the green light of the spell?

Sometimes I forget that there are some unsolved questions in Harry Potter because J.K.Rowling did a pretty good job of answering questions.

My theory about the marauders map (NOTE: this theory is for the books only!!! If it was based on the movies it wouldn't work!!!) = Fred and George Weasley didn't realise Peter Pettigrew in Ron's bed every night on the marauders map because they couldn't see him. The marauders, just in case their map got into the wrong hands, would've made it so that if the user of the map didn't know that the person was an animagus, when that person was in their animagus form, the user of the map would not be able to detect that person. This would make sense as the marauders wouldn't want a teacher to find the map and realise they were all animagi. Harry also didn't see Peter Pettigrew on the map when he was wandering round at night in the books - he instead saw Barry Crouch Jr (the movies changed it to make it more mysterious). To prove this theory, Snape (at the end of book 3) travelled to the shrieking shack. He knew, from the marauders map, that Sirius was there as Sirius was in his human form while at the shrieking shack. However, he had no idea Peter was also with them as he was in his animal form at the time and Snape didn't know he was an animagus. Also, in the fourth book, Rita Skeeter (when in her animal form) is never spotted by Harry. This is because he had no idea that she was an animagus at the time. Theory explained, class close and question answered. Mischief Managed. (NOTE2 = I just want to say that this is a theory I had which I found explained it all quite well - of course Fred and George might've just not looked at Ron or anything too! I just wanted to share this with everyone.)

I know that sometime in the books (I forgot when) someone told Harry that petty crimes didn’t require aurors.

(Just a theory.) I think with the Peter Pettigrew one, If they're in their Animagus form they can't be shown on the map because I think if the marauders created a map they wouldn't want to be shown on the map in their Animagus forms.

There's this thing called a rubber duck . What is the function of a rubber duck

Is there a painting of Umbridge in the headmaster's office?

5:30 I think Hermione would send Rose and Hugo muggle homework.

How did draco draw harry on the broom getting struck by lightning, like is it like animation?

On the topic of Harry's eyes (and other wizards and witches who wear glasses), my personal theory is that the eyes are seen as the windows to the soul and if you try to change them with magic so the person can see 20/20, part of the person's soul could be damaged, altered, or even destroyed in bad situations. Since the eyes show such character of a person, part of their human nature or entire personality is so authentic and honest that to try to alter the 'windows' to that special place is dangerous and the person could lose all that they are. Just my personal theory...thats all

I feel like the pensieve would be like writing down a memory. For example: you write down a memory soon after it happened, so you haven't forgotten any details yet. Later, when you start to forget details of your memory, you can go back, look at what you wrote, and be reminded of what happened. I don't think putting a memory in the pensieve would cause you to forget the memory; I think it's just a way to preserve important memories so you can always remember it perfectly. This could also explain Dumbledore's comment about having "too many thoughts and memories crammed into [his] mind". When something important happens, I'm sure he has a lot of thoughts and theories about it, and he probably DOES feel like there's too many thoughts in his head, and he doesn't want to forget any details in case they turned out to be important information later. Once he puts the memories in the pensieve, he probably feels a sense of relief because it doesn't matter if he forgets a few details because he has the memory preserved. I don't know if that made any sense, but that's just how I always thought it worked! :)

Your a great team Brizzy and Tessa. I always look forward to your videos

The thestral thing: In book 7 in Godrics Hollow you hear Voldemorts version of killing Harry's parents. Harry didn't see his parents die And he fainted before Quirell dies, yeah

How did the Horcrux inside of Harry survive when he was bitten by the Basilisk in Chamber of Secrets?

I have a Time magazine where they interview JK Rowling and they asked her Where do wizard children go to school before Hogwarts? She responded with "Most are homeschooled, because they aren't really able to control their powers, so it would be dangerous to let them out and about."

They didn't see Petigrew because the Maraurders made sure that if someone is animagi the map will not show their names if someone stoll the map since they wanted to keep their secret a secret. The muggle goverment doesn't know about the wizard world only the Minister and Priminister it is mentioned in the books. Wizards get Homeschooled by their parents they teach them how to read, write, and basic math. Harry didn't talk through the mirrow to make sure sirius was in the house because he hadn't opened the package he opened at the end of the year. Peves was a student at hogwarts and chise to come back to stay in school just like moaning myrtle. AND I HAVE A QUESTION OF MY OWN IN THE BOOKS IT ONLY MENTIONS WIZARD SCHOOLS IN THE UK WHAT HAPPENDS TO WITCHES AND WIZARDS IN NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA AFRICA RUSSIA AND AUSTRALIA!!!!

Peeves dropped and banged things .How did he do that ? Was not he immaterial ??? Was he solid ( that sounds funny 😂)

How do muggle borns get wizard money for diagonal alley and hogsmeade

My question is wtf is a nargle

When Harry saw his parents die, he was to young to process it, being a baby, which meant he couldn't see the thestrals straight away.

Do another one of these this is so cute!

I think the reason the twins never saw or mentioned peter in rons bed is because they never looked at the map closely enough to see. They mentioned they had it memorized it so they probably only checked places to see if there where teaches there.

And yes. There are wizard police. It's mentioned in OOTP. They're called magical law enforcement patrol. "Will it be the Aurors who catch them?" "Oh no, This is too trivial for Aurors, it'll be the ordinary Magical Law Enforcement Patrol...(Page 133)" And in regards to religion, there are religious wizards. There's a Jewish Ravenclaw in the series for sure, as Rowling has stated herself.

i'm quite late but i wanna say something......one of most important reasons i fell in love with this series are you two........love u guys...i've watched this video more than 26 times at the very least.....no wonder you two are in ravenclaws......with brains like yours......:)

“That’s a human as a rat as a goblet!” got me that was hilarious and I know I am 3 years late but I was always a fan of Harry Potter so yeah

I had heard a theory that the veil was a remnant of when Death cut his cloak to give to the third brother, sort of leaving a rip between both worlds. The ministry was built above it to keep it hidden.

If you remember in Deathly Hallows the movie, there was the “cop” that was suspicious of them when they went to break into gringots. That I feel like is a standard everyday cop/guard. The Aurors handle serious wizarding crimes.

Cool video. One question about time turners is why didn't Dumbledore use the time turner to save Buckbeak but not Harry's parents? Surely...it would work the same?

My thought of the marauder’s map, Pettigrew situation is - If there are loads of people in the same place maybe their names are all stacked up on each other? So when Ron is carrying scabbers with him all the time maybe pettigrews name was hidden by Ron’s?

Sharpies aren't allowed in muggle school let alone Hogwarts

HARRY IS NOT A RAVENCLAW ! Seamus: Turn this water into rum ! Harry : Whats he doing to that water ? OH I DONT KNOW

Hi!!!!!!!! Love the channel! I think the reason Harry can't see thestrals is because (I'm pretty sure) although he saw he mother die, he couldn't comprehend death at the time. I'm not quite sure if killing someone counts as seeing death. Also, I read somewhere that the Maurauder's map only shows those who you are concerned about, so Gred and Forge, whoops, Fred and George wouldn't have seen Petigrew, as they did not know he existed, and therefore, did not care about him. Was anyone else creeped out by the fact that Harry pretty much stalked Ginny using the Maurauder's map when he was hunting for horcruxes? The book states that he would stare at her dot in the Gryffindor dormitory on the map......... Last I checked, Moaning Myrtle was also a poltergeist, because she could affect the water in the bathroom. Pop sockets for wands!!!! LOL! That would be great! I think if wizards were Christian, they could have destroyed Voldemort with a Bible.............

Also, could fred and George see Voldemort on Quirrel?

'Why eleven, is it a puberty thing?' Me: nope I'm pretty sure it's because that is when you start secondary school 😅

Why didn’t Fred and George see Pettigrew on the Marauders map? *When Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prong made the map they could make it to where only the Marauders could see the other Marauders on the map so if a teacher or another student finds the map open they can’t use it against them.

As a baby Harry was to young to fully process greif plus your mind apparently can't create memories until your 18 months old I think. I hope that explained it partially. They either go to Muggle primary school or there's a wizard primary school or they're homeschooled. The training and academic requirements of an Auror seem to mirror that of the SEALS or marines so I don't think they'd be the muggle equivalent of a traffic cop. Arthur weasley seemed to be a sort of desk cop so maybe given the convenience of it they were just desk cops that would send notices or a small division of the ministry to dispand minor threats. Maybe.

I love this and y'all should do this again😂

On Wizard Religion: The Fat Friar (Hufflepuff Ghost) was actually a Roman Priest, and was executed for witchcraft, also Dumbledore owned a copy of the Christian bible, and Ariana and Kendra Dumbledore's graves have scriptures and bible verses on them. Thats all lol.

I think that kids go to Hogwarts at the age of 11 because that’s when kids usually go to senior school in England

Poltergeist's can solidify and unsolidify along with interact with real objects while ghosts just fall through stuff

About the painting thing I think so they were originally paintings and they were just memories of the people according to dumbledore in cursed child (which I dont consider canon) they were just memories..then they were charmed so they can move and stuff they were not like people Edit : And the pre school thing I think it was something like they were homeschooled by their parents in basic maths and english amd subjects not absolutely boring stuff like geometry or shakespeare or the digestive system

Is there another way for students to get on platform 9 and 3/4 without having to cross through the barrier? It's always nearly empty around the barrier whenever harry gets there. You'd think there would be a line or a crowd surrounding it if there are really 1,000 kids going to hogwarts that need to ride the train.

The thing with the time turner (without mixing too much cursed child) it could cause some ripple in time I think. If harry went back to the 31st of October when his parents died, and stopped Voldermort somehow, things would ne extremely different for him and would cause a increible difference in time and space of time. It would confuse all the info and when they went back to present time, everything would be completely different to adapt to. I dunno, thats my theory :) xx ps: difficult to answer the question without thinking in cursed child

ok if you are under the imperious curse and then given veritiserum, do automatically say the truth, or does the person controlling you get control over what you say?

Yup, I have wondered a lot of the same things as well!

How to play: Last digit of your like is what you are Which Harry Potter book/movie are you secretly in? 1 - Sorcerer's Stone 2 - The Chamber Of Secrets 3 - The Prisoner Of Azkabon 4 - Goblet of Fire 5 - The Order Of the Phoenix 6 - The Half Blood Prince 7 - Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 8 - Deathly Halloween Pt. 2 9 - The Cursed Child 0 - You're not in a book :(

You go to Hogwarts at age 11 to make puberty more enjoyable

I love you brizzy and tessa

A video about Harry Potter theories I saw (also confirmed on the Pottermore website) was that the Ministry of Magic was actually built around the veil and that Hogwarts was likewise build around the Mirror of Erisid. The youtuber explained they were basically pre-deathly hallows. I can't remember the third item though. ~nya

I LOVE TESSA'S FACIAL EXPRESSIONS THROUGH THIS WHOLE VIDEO!!!!!

and also, the veil is older than the ministry of magic. the ministry was build around and on top of the veil, to protect/hide it.

The rule for seeing the thestrals is that you have to understand the death you saw and truly comprehend its meaning. Harry wouldn't know what death meant if he saw James and Lily die. That's why he only saw the thestrals in the fifth book, and not immediately after Cedric died.

Also if the veil( or however it’s spelled) is a way to give another option for ghosts, then why did Sirius go in it? Was it because he was ready to die or was he a ghost in a human/Animagus (I know that there’s a difference)’s body? Can you elaborate on what you said at the middle of the video please?

What if a magical painter was really bad at painting/drawing

Peeves is a result of all the mischief of hogwarts. He was never a wizard. That's why they can't get rid of him. Every mischievous act makes peeves worse. Here's my question: does that mean peeves was once a baby with not much mischief in him or did he appear one day like this adult poltergeist causing mayhem?

I think that they get their acceptance letter when they turn 11 because here in England Scotland and Wales you go to secondary school when you are 11 and j.k rowling was from Scotland soo yea.

Well with Pettigew I assumed they thought it was just another person in the dormitory in a bed next to Ron’s. We never see the map show locations outside of Hogwarts so who knows if it even can
