Film Theory: Is Miss Peregrine's BETTER than Hogwarts? (Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children) 

It's better than harry potter

@@GutsPsn i mean harry potter makes more sense but ok

Exactly!

I love the books

Yes in an evaluation based on a muggle school rating system. Your point being?

That doesn't make it right. They could still have courses for humans who wish to help out the magic world. They could act as messengers and experts on muggle culture. This is only if the have at least one magic parent or relative or course. You wouldn't want people to freak out and expose them.

what would happen if they did expose them though? "the wizzard school won't let me in!" "Oh, he's a kid, don't listen to him!" or "he's crazy, lock him up."

No. No you couldn't. My brother can't bring rice crispy squares to school because several of his classmates are poor and can't afford treats. To "protect them" and "not fester unfairness". How would a kids self esteem be if he was surrounded by MAGIC USERS WHO CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT.

well, Hogwarts is a school to teach magic techniques for people who CAN use magic... it's like trying to teach arm wrestling for people without arms... that's not discrimination on their part

It's like homeschooling without any curriculum.

Kartik Rawlani what about potion making? Seems like a muggle should be able to make use of magic Ingredients just fine

@@AJSSPACEPLACE Apparently even the most basic of potions require some wand work,so squibs wouldn't even be able to do that.

Which is why MatPat"s point makes sense.

It would be cool if they did let some squibs into the school. Even though they can't do magic, they would be excellent in subjects such as Muggle Studies, Astronomy and even help out in subjects that do require magic. They could learn every spell by heart and be ready to tell their peers what to do in case of an emergency. They could collect and add all of the potion ingredients into the potion and just let the witch or wizard do the wandwork. There are people in the muggle world trying to do divination, so it would be very interesting to see squibs try to do divination. History of Magic would be a great subject that they may excel at as well. While they would not be able to defend themselves in case of a battle, squibs could be amazing at doing physical fighting and could teach Hogwarts students physical defences like karate. This could be an amazing fanfic.

That's literally slavery.

"While important?" You are aware that the school doesn't actually exist, right? How would fake (and utterly justified) discrimination be important lol.

The entire premise of this is that these are real, I am simply operating within it.

Gonna have to disagree on that one. The "wizarding world" isnt located somewhere thats completely inaccessible to humans, AND the ministry uses magic to basically keep them from noticing magical happenings and locations (which seems kinda morally grey, but whatever). So how would one explain flying cars/dragons/death eaters/dark lords and all the other magical stuff if they were used to destroy or infringe upon the rest of the world? How would accountability hold up? The bridge incident is a good example.

Daniel Walton The Muggle Prime Minister is in contact with the Minister of Magic. Hogwarts may be subject to some Muggle laws.

I agree if the muggle government gave them money then the anti discrimination law would be in effect. but since it answers to the ministry of magic it is controlled by their laws. as proof the ministry has betted in multiple times to make changes to the professors among other things.

Well, to be fair he did quote JK Rowling herself, so if he was able to get confirmation on something from that, he should be able to confirm information based on books (vide fund support for school expences). Especially considering that he also managed to confirm a point for Xavier's school rummaging through comic issues.

I have read 4 of the books 10 times, 1 of the books 9 times and 2 of them 11 times. I have also watched half of the movies.

This is MULTI MILLION SUBSCRIBER RU-vid channel with a whole team of researcher. And that is like the most basic fact imaginabke.

And he will continu, and he will be succesfull

@@ProfessorPrel this was 5 years ago he didn’t have a team then I’m pretty sure.

In fact, it is never stated that the ministry doesnt have a law against discrimination, but it is common sense if he had just read a Pottermore article or the harry Potter wiki page, they make it very clear that the ministey has nothing to do with the mugge world or their laws

What about the mfing Weasleys! I’m a huge hp fan, but you can’t explain away the Weasleys!

And doesn't excuse the discrimination of squibs Plus they have a lot of students that are prejudice against nomaj/muggleborns, with no real effort to stomp it out

Exactly, I love hp, but excuses don’t do anything against the case of the commentators.

​@michaeliv284 Realistically, what classes would Squibs be able to take? Almost every class, even Potions, requires some level of magic, and the ones that don't are for 3rd years and above. Also, what would be the point of learning magic if you can't use it?

Oh, my god. You actually _talk about the books_ and you _still_ say they can't read. MORON!

There's a difference between the reading ability you naturally have and the reading ability you get from a classroom. Upon graduation, Hogworts students will be less capable readers than their muggle counterparts. That's the point.

We can't know if that's the point or not. All he said was that they can't read. And given the number of people I knew who could barely read in high school, and the sheer vastness of reading Hogwarts' students would be required to do in and out of the classroom would make it, if anything, the inverse of what you said. And how much does reading ability really increase in class, anyway? It's not like they have classes specifically _for_ it. Reading ability increases with use. The more you read, the more quickly you'll be able to and the more words you'll pick up as you go. If you want to pass your OWLs and NEWTs, you are going to be doing a _lot_ of reading. Especially if you want to get a good grade, up to and including an Outstanding.

peytongonavy it's called reading comprehension but yes that's basically the point

Probably why illiteracy is skyrocketing. Fewer and fewer people are reading for pleasure.

Exactly what I was thinking

Yeah

i agree with you Snarffarl

But it is also where they do their learning

YES! EXACTLY!

Don't they do school in there loop?

Yes and No, The children do live there, and yes by the time Jacob comes it's been 70 years since the loop was made, that's enough to get from Kindergarten to College , not to mention some of the kids are old enough like Millard, Enoch, Emma, Bronwyn, Hugh, and Fiona, (BOOK VERSION), that's why they're barely learning anything,maybe some stuff about peculiars here and there but still, also they probably didnt teach some stuff to the young ones because they stayed young

Ok I is udjj

They do, in the book a classroom and classes are referenced

thats what i said

precisely

The Ministry of magic is effectively a private business, as such getting funding from it does not qualify as government funding. The tax money would legally be treated as a membership fee.

exactly. what is the government going to do.

Collecting taxes from the Ministry I'd assume.

But most don't.

Only if you're muggle-born. Most young wizards are just homeschooled for that time

All children would either go to a primary school or get homeschooled by parents. They can read and write before they arrive.

Exactly. So I should have gotten another point.

Yeah Hogwarts MUST get that point :(:(:(

Schools should follow a standardized curriculum. It's like if your school had decided to only teach math and nothing else. A person who can't do magic should still learn about it, living in a magical world. I bet even Neville would have chosen to have some theoretical magic classes instead of practical.

@VisseNekku if a squib wants to learn about magic they can just read about it. There’s no need for them to go to wizarding school if they can’t so magic

@Fayde De Sade I think that you actually need to use a bit of magic or your wand so to make a potion so technically I think they would not

Hogwarts entire school curriculum is based on magic so if a person goes there and can't use magic they would be expelled for getting a F in every class

Alright, deaf people can’t go to music school. It’s makes no sense. It’s like that, it’s dumb

if they were allowed "everyone raises there wands and make the feather float except you bob go cry in the corner"

You could still be educated on magical theory

@@disgustof-riley8338 I feel like that would be like trying to teach somebody with no arms how to use the Wii Remote Strap. However, I do feel like Squibs could be taught about potions and how to make them. Edit: I am now aware of the fact that potions require spells to work. While I would suggest partnering up with a wizard that actually does the spells, that would likely just overcomplicate things. As such, I don't really have any ideas.

they could still learn things in certains subjects though: Potions, Herbology, Astronomy, Care for Magical Creatures, Muggle Studies or History of Magic can all be used and applied by Squibs...

@@zoe1482 why would they need those classes if they can't easily work for the magical community. It's more practical long-term for them to spend their time learning in muggle schools

Thanks god, someone with a brain

Not to mention, why would someone who cannot do magic be admitted to a school which requires you to have the ability to do magic? That makes no sense!

but is discriminating squibs allowed in their legal system? if so, sucks to be them... the thing is, squibs also pays taxes, if the school is funded by the government , there shouldn't be any such thing as magical and non magical kid both have parents that pays taxes, both are the same but this is if the magic world or whatever it's called follow the same rules as real world

Delta X s.

The only reason why they're discriminated against attending Hogwarts is likely just cause they couldn't possibly pass any spell casting classes. Same logic as someone with low grade average not being able to attend Harvard.

Same in the UK, also Hogwarts is a high school. Do Americans pay for highschools as well?

Hogwarts is basically just a really cool secondary school

X Men and Harry Potter Universe: You just have to be born special to get into Hogwarts or the X Men School for Gifter Youngsters U.A High in My Hero Academia: - Has a 0.01% acceptance rate - You have to take a written and a practical exam in order to get 1 of the 36 places in the Hero course. So you and HUNDREDS of other people are competing for those spots - Even if tou don't get in, there are many other Hero schools you can apply for - The practical exam involves destroying as military-grade robots robots as you can.

Also, at 13:16, it's not the Parliament. As you said, they receive money from the _Ministry of Magic_. There is a difference there.

If your a muggle-born or half muggle you may have gone to school till the fifth grade but many students are from wizard families in which they likely did not attend muggle schools.

There are 29 knuts to a sickel and 17 sickels to a galleon. Hogwarts students need all the math they can get.

Ernest Izdebski I thought it was from like 5th to 10th?

Also Arithmancy

True, but what if that wheelchair bound person wanted to learn about the math and skills behind running to help those who can in the future? They would obviously want to go to the school for running to get that education. The same applies to a squib. Just because they can't use it, doesn't mean they can't learn it, and it's even more wrong because they already know magic and wizards exist anyways. They have the same right to the knowledge as a muggle born wizard in their 11th year.

Plus, you don't need magic to brew potions, study history, know astronomy, learn arithmancy, or understand muggles. It's a shame the magical world is so discriminatory toward squibs; they're alienating a lot of potential brewers, historians, and muggle-relations personnel from an already small population.

yeah... but this running school probably doesn't have all those classes, where he can study the physics/maths/chemistry of running. There are dozens of other schools though where he can study it

To tell the truth, even for lighting the fire under the pot they use magic. And to turn on lights too. Is there any possibility that there are schools for squbs?

Who says, there are no other schools qere squibs can lern these things, exept potion brewing. You actually need magic for it.

I think you mean the 6th book, Dumbledore was dead by the 7th book.

Sarah It's only mentioned in the book, Dumbledore wasn't actually alive in the book but it was a flashback to when Voldy was a kid and Dumbledore was still alive.

It was a scene in the Pensieve in the 6th book, during one of Dumbledore's private lessons with Harry about Voldemort's past.

The W/L Superhero. yes I know it was in Dumbledore's lessons using his memories in the pensive, in the 7th book he was dead and Harry didn't have any access to the pensive or Dumbledore's memories, hence my comment.

He actually did have access to the pensieve, otherwise Harry wouldn't have been able to see all of Snape's memories.

But, the thing is, it isn't. It's in book 2 I believe, Harry is brought into Filch' office. On the desk, there is a letter describing a magic learning course for squibs. If it can be used by squibs, why couldn't it be used by muggles? After all, there must be at least a recessive gene for magic, other wise there would be no muggleborns/halfbloods. A squib is born of magical parents, while having no magic to say of their own. That means that the magical gene is still there, and were a squib to have a child, that pases on the gene, with the same 50/50 chance tto be able to go to Hogwarts, the same on the squib parent had.

It's okay, matpat can't add and X-men and Hogwarts tied.

+Hallie Holme The Kwikspell course wasn't meant for squibs, though. In the letter it shows two reviews from a witch and wizard praising the course, and neither of them were squibs, they were simply poor with magic. The witch says that she can't remember incantations, and that her potions suck. The wizard says that his charms are feeble. And obviously Filch has no luck with the courses, so the Kwikspell thing clearly only works for sub-par wizards/witches. In other words, muggles and squibs can't be taught magic, for they don't have any magical power. This idea is also touched upon in the seventh book when the Death Eater regime rounds up muggle-borns, claiming that they are muggles who have stolen magical abilities from actual wizards and witches, which they know is impossible. "If you could steal magic, there wouldn't be any muggles or squibs, would there?" On the subject of squibs and muggle-borns, squibs are rare, while muggle-borns are much more common. Dumbledore's notes on The Tale's of Beedle the Bard tell us that there is a theory that muggle-borns exist because they have a magical ancestor. That being said, if this theory is true (which I think it is, because it makes no sense for a muggle to give birth to a wizard for no reason), then for a muggle-born to be created, they would have to have an ancestor who was a squib. That squib ancestor would have to have become a member of muggle society, had children with a muggle, and those children were non-magical, but still inherited the magic gene. That gene would then be passed down continuously until it resurfaced generations later, creating a "muggle-born". Since muggle-borns are common, while squibs are not, it must also be common for squibs to give birth to non-magical children, which would explain the abundance of muggle-borns. If a squib were just as likely to produce magical children as a witch or wizard, there would basically be no muggle-borns.

i saw it

Luke - Ario Not even Toph could drive a car

Cause there's things they can do that doesn't require magic? If they're already gonna live in a world with magic, let them learn herbology, animal keeping, heck, potion ingredients and how to help make them.

Magical animal care(shown by Arabella [?] Figg and her half cats), herbology (gardening but with more dangerous plants that want you dead), magic theory (in the way that they, being unable to use magic could study the theory of it and be able to come up with more useful and helpful spells), Muggle Studies (Squibs are most common in the muggle world after all, wouldn’t be a big issue to have them teach).

Besides, they could easily circumvent the law by imposing admittance tests for every student. Tests involving magic that "squibs" would never be able to pass.

Yea, plus the fact that Harry Potter series took place in the 90's or even earlier. I don't know when the laws took effect, but I would assume they weren't as strict back then.

Jake Howard did you not read/watch Order of the Phoenix? the ministry interferes with Hogwarts' curriculum because of their financial aid they provide for the tuition costs. from a purely structural standpoint there is little difference between muggle and wizarding governments.

Joey Cardenas Their laws are obviously pretty different, though.

British laws are all muggle laws, wizards don't know anything about muggle laws.

Also your thing about discrimination and squibs at the end makes no sense MatPat. You literally said what a squib is, a muggle born to wizard parents. You also mentioned how the school doesn't accept muggles. So just because a muggle has wizard parents, he/she should be allowed to attend? No, not really.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but it seems that Hogwarts is the only institution of magical learning in the UK, and thus excluding squibs is a HUGE problem. You have these kids who grow up in wizarding culture, but aren't allowed to participate. Why can't they learn subjects like Muggle Studies, History of Magic, Astronomy, etc. which don't appear to use of magic? Why can't a squib utilize muggle devices to do Potions?

Beaux batons or whatever is french but they are elitist twats too and all their students are perfect looking and most likely rich. (french rival school from the 4th book) I have never thought about it this deeply but there could be a whole narrative created about the oppression of squibs. Hagrid is deeply troubled by his squib status and always wanted to be a wizard but elitist fucks like dumbledore probably kept him under their foot. What if Dumbledore knew that the spider wasn't the Slytherin monster and let Hagrid take the blame anyway just to fuck with him? What if harry's squib neighbor is under dumbledore's boot too? (she is, she was told to live there by him to keep an eye on Harry.) How many squibs are leading opressed lives and why do we not hear their stories more?

in the first book, hermione's parents were exchanging muggle money for gold at gringotts to pay for her shcool supplies

Woah there. First off, Hagrid's story is specifically told to us in the second story, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, where Hagrid is said NOT to be a squib (as he shows his magical abilities in literally every movie and story) but was expelled for a crime he did not commit. They snapped his wand (what they do every time someone is expelled, it is quite common place) and the headmaster, not Dumbledore, wanted him to leave immediately. Dumbledore actually wanted to keep him there because of his knack with all sorts of different creatures, and it even says in the story that Tom Riddle was annoyed and knew he couldn't open the chamber anymore because Dumbledore suspected him. Dumbledore wasn't even headmaster, only the Transfiguration teacher. He couldn't stop what the headmaster was going to do, when there was so much evidence pointing to Hagrid. Also, it never mentions in the story that Harry's neighbor was a squib, just that she was placed there to keep an eye on Harry. Furthermore, sure, it mentions that squibs aren't allowed, but never says that they lead oppressed lives. By the way, the french people from the fourth book never mention anything about being rich, while being good-looking, sure, but hey, it's fucking MAGIC. As a side note, Dumbledore is beloved by all magical folk and squibs. He even gave a job to Filch, who was a terrible person and of course a squib, but he is always present in the books WITH A JOB. Dumbledore is definitely NOT an "elitist fuck". Therefore, I suggest you fucking READ THE BOOKS AND WATCH THE MOVIES before you come back and show your sorry ass your dumb fucking complaint again and realize all the mistakes you have made.

Yes Timmy, you can.

But Make Sure You Dont Have Your Eyes S t o l e n Timmy-

Don't forget to take your wand before leaving, Timmy

Also don't forget your magical food generating lunch box and your refill for it!

Mom: Timmy, you’re talking gibberish again. Who’s MatPat? Me: Bruh.

yes

Nope.

It's actually a really cool book series. I would recommend it if you are into books. The peculiar powers aren't really X-men grade so its fun to read about how they apply constantly levitating, or bringing the dead back to life, to their dangerous situations.

Read them in like 6th grade. 9th grade now and hyped

I read all the books last year

They can’t even get in

They could probably do the theoretical stuff,so from year three onwards (where they specialise and pick their options) they could get along just fine.

They could possibly do potions (Edit) ok everyone i get it

@@tinkabouthat8856 true but there's no incentive for squibs do that instead of just going to a non-magical school so there's still no reason for them to attend

Squibs can do muggle studies, arithmancy, care of magical creatures, history of magic and maybe potions. The rest of the classes can be theoretical. Squibs could even grow up to be teachers of theoretical classes like the ones I already mentioned.
