How Did Harry Come Back To Life? | Harry Potter Explained 

What other questions do you have about the Wizarding World?

When you consider it, Harry doesn't just use each item, but he uses the Stone and the Wand in the wrong way. He doesn't use the stone to bring back loved ones, he uses it to help him gain enough closure to die. He also doesn't use the wand at all, not until he's already been revived. He conquered the first two Hallows, which the other brothers couldn't do. And you know what? Harry also used the cloak wrong. He didn't avoid Death with the cloak. He used the cloak to walk right into Death's arms. Harry didn't just master the Hallows, he conquered them completely.

This story is a great example of how donating blood saves lives!

I Love the foreshadowing in the 4th book; Harry believes to See a glance of Triumph in Dumbledores face, as Harry tells him, that Voldemort took his blood Probably one of my favourite parts in all books

The image of Voldy killing Harry over and over and Harry coming back and freaking him just cracks me up xD thanks for that

Imagine Harry was donating blood, like for fun, or making blood-brotherhood wth Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, Luna, what would that mean for them, if they had the correct blood type? More Lovekruxes for Harry? Would Harry totally be immortal?

The whole "Voldemort couldn't even take over a high school" thing completely ignores that he already has taken over control of the entire government, and has seemingly no legal restrictions that really apply to him in any other country.

Harry: "Come on, Tom, let's finish this the way we started it: together." Tom: "Bro I started this decades before you were born"

I love the idea that everyone would stand in a circle and watch Voldemort get increasingly more frustrated that Harry just keeps getting back up after death

I never thought the stone had anything to do with Harry's clinging to life.

can i just say. "i miss the socks" oh the good old day of "these socks are amazing" :) oh how i miss that.

You missed an opportunity to name this episode “How did the boy live?”

Harry dying to Voldemort for the 5th time “Voldemort, I’ve come to bargen”

I am becoming increasingly confused by the sponsors: “Sponsored by BetterHelp” “MeUndies”

wait am I the only one who never considered the resurrection stone as an option? I always thought a person can bring someone ELSE back, not that you can bring yourself back. How would that even work, don't you have to turn the stone to bring someone back? and like they aren't REALLY back?

(Reading through the books for the first time) During Goblet of Fire, Pettigrew proposes he can use blood from someone that isn't Harry and Voldemort proudly says he knows what he's doing and dismisses the idea. I don't know if it is later explained in the books why or if Voldemort was blinded by revenge but that's what ultimately leads to his defeat

How ironic it is that Voldemort can't kill Harry but he always tells his followers that he must be the one to kill Harry

H: I was prepared to die to save those people- V: BUT YOU DIDN'T. H: Yes, but I meant to! And that's what did it.

Dr.Potter: "Voldemammu,I've come to bargain!"

When Voldemort "Killed" Harry he only killed the Horcrux inside of harry so in a way he helped the golden trio with destroying himself

One thing I've been thinking about recently is, what if two dark wizards each made a horcrux out of the other? Wouldn't that be in many ways (as long as you can trust your friend of course, though you would expect some sort of mental bond like between harry and voldemort just voluntary) protect you more, since like Nagini, you would only be able to be killed by basilisk venom, fiendfire and such stuff. And you'd have to do that to both wizards in one go, otherwise one would be able to revive the other with the good old bone of the father, flesh of the servant, blood of the enemy thing. (You would eventually run out of bones though so if this is the only way to get your body back, horcruxes have a limited amount of times they revive you anyway)

That Voldie laugh never gets old!

Harry continuing to come back to life again and again is the equivalent of “dormamu I’ve come to bargin”

I would have loved to have the small detail about Dumbledores Gleam in Goblet of Fire mentioned in this video because it is already a hint about how Voldemort made Harry invincible to himself: IN BOOK 4

Have to say, that bit of DH, from Harry going to the Penseive with Snape's tears, to his finally killing Voldemort... I'm in tears through most of it. And I have to say, Dan Radcliffe is an amazing actor- that scene when he pulls his head out of the Penseive and sits down on the steps- so many emotions at play across his face...

Voldemort was smart with regards to magical works. Why did he think that taking Harry Potter's blood would make him stronger and disrupt Lily's ability to Shield him? Was it simply because he didn't understand the magic related to love or was there a deeper mistake?

Second video of asking: We have seen how strong Dumbledore and Voldermort are. They were argueably the greatest wizards of all time. Does Harry fall into that category or is he at the level of Snape, Sirius, James, Lupin or even Mad Eye Moody. Like what would his adult potential have been.

I will say, I joined BetterHelp because of you, and I want to thank you. I’m in love with the therapist I was matched with, and I’m glad I’m taking steps better my mental health ☺️

I think it would have been worth mentioning the protection that Harry gives to the whole school in this moment. It's been mentioned before on this channel

I love that now they sing along with their intro just like any non-soulless entity watching.

i can just imagine harry just casually reading a book as Voldemort just panicking as he tries again and again

the resurrection stone is important only because he had the chance to talk to his loved once who reassured him that death is not something to be afraid of and that it doesn't hurt. it was Dumbledore's way to ensure Harry made the right choice. just an extra precaution he took to make sure his plane worked

The editing with Voldemort's laugh and the music references had me laughing so hard. Loved it. And I also loved that you chose a mental health sponsor. 2/2 this week guys :)

With the No Way Home Trailer out and Strange being HELLA SUS could you do some Spider-Man theories? WOULD LOVE to see em.

LoL, Dunbledore, probably one of the few characters in fiction who's explanations are univocally true (when he actually says something, anyway) EXPLAINS THIS DIRECTLY TO THE READER and people still refute to accept the explanation. Thank you movie makers for ignoring this and by that making people think it literally anything else.

I would love to hear a full explanation of what happened the night voldemort attacked Harry the first time. How did the Wizarding world find out about it so quickly and how were they so certain voldemort was gone?

Imagine Voldemort just killing Harry over and over while Harry keeps coming back😂😂😂 😂 “I’m pointing my wand as hard as I can!”

Why did Dumbledore leave a baby outside on a doorstep overnight, in November? "Should we knock sir?" "Nah I left a note" "What if he wakes and cries for he parents" "I gave Hagrid enough sleeping potion to knock out a dragon, surely it'll be enough for one baby "

I was imagining demolition man where Voldemort would get tired of killing Harry and telling a henchman to just do it.

I understood this when I read the book. I thought Rowling explained it perfectly. However, there is one thing I disagree with you on. Does it say Harry is invincible to Voldemort alone? I was under the impression that he was tied to life so long as Voldemort was alive, that is, he is invincible to everyone and everything. Doesn’t that put books five, six and seven into perspective? At any rate, I like the idea that there was never a point in time where Voldemort (the dark lord, the ultimate evil) even had the ability to kill Harry (the master of death, the ultimate good).

Never realized how creepy that scene was when Harry grabs Voldemort. Why on earth was he standing so close to Harry... the facial expression of fear at being hugged looks very real. This really should have gone on the cringest movie scene list.

I posted this in another video but here's it again Hey guys I have a question. What do you think would happened if a secret keeper has their memories erased? Would they retain the knowledge from the fidelius charm or forget it? Would the charm still hold or break?

Imagine the humiliation Voldy would have felt if in-front of everyone in the hall, if his Avada Kedavra had hit Harry. Peeves would've sung, Potter is smashing him in one-on-one, Voldy is going moldy, potter is having fun.

You're gonna make me do it, aren't you? You're gonna make me re-read the series...again??🥺

Hello guys, I love your Harry Potter theories so much. You always manage to convince me somehow haha

I had always assumed Voldemort actually just killed the fragment of himself in Harry. The love-crux was the reason Dumbledore looked triumphant after Harry came back from the graveyard.

Hahaha Harry continuously coming back.... "voldy! I've come to bargain!"

I never thought the stone had anything to do with him surviving. I just assumed it was left to him as a chance to see his parents and Sirius, even Lupin (although I doubt Dumbledore expected Lupin to have been dead at that point) to give him the strength to do what he needed. Cause while Harry was ready to die, i'm sure there would be a part of him that was scared and wanted to see his family.

The first question that came in mind is why didn't Voldemort die when they fought during the battle of the seven potters when Voldemort had Luciou's wand, but it still makes sense: Voldemort still had horcruxes so even if he was fighting Harry, only his wand was destroyed

If Voldemort is acting as a "love-crux" for Harry, wouldn't that mean Harry can't die as long as Voldemort is alive? Therefore if one of Voldemort's Death Eaters were to kill Harry, he would still be able to come back as long as Voldemort was in his resurrected body. It seems like the only way Voldemort could win at that point would be for Voldemort to die while he still has a Horcrux in play, and then rebuild a new body for himself without Harry's blood and kill him (or have a Death Eater do it after his resurrected body is destroyed).

Here's a question. What would it be like of Voldemort somehow accessed the Harrycrux? Would he possess Harry like Quirrell?

When I first watched the movies, I thought that the horcrux was specifically in Harry's scar and that Voldy specifically hit the scar when shooting Harry, thus only killing his horcrux.

I don't like this theory, there's too many moving parts. I think the simpler explanation is that since Harry was an unexpected 7th Horcrux, he was able to survive one and ONLY ONE Avadakedavra. Voldemort was the only known Wizard to have created a Horcrux using a living creature as a vessel for the soul fragment - he did so once intentionally in Nagini and again unintentionally in Harry. When Avadakedavra hits a target, it _separates the soul without dealing physical harm to the body_ . When Harry was hit by Voldemort's Avadakedavra, the "price" of a soul had to be paid - but Harry had _two souls_ in him at that moment; his own and the fragment of Voldemort's. Since Avadakedavra's "cost" is paid with only one soul, the other was allowed to return. The fragment of Voldemort inside of Harry was weak and frail, as shown by the baby corpse thing, so it could not make the return to life, leaving Harry the option of being the refunded soul. The same would have been possible for Nagini, IF she were the target of an Avadakedavra. She was not, though. Her body was physically destroyed by Neville and the Sword of Godric Gryffindor - so there was nothing to return to and both souls went "On". I subscribe to Dumbledore's theory that the Peverell brothers never actually met Death; that they were just three exceptionally gifted Wizards who invented three powerful magical items and took the secrets of their creations to their graves. The three Deathly Hallows don't actually make one a "Master of Death", they're all three just neat toys.

Quite frankly, it’s all because Harry at one point in his life had the very real thing known as “liquid luck”

it’s always makes a good day great on tuesdays and thursdays when harry potter theories are uploaded

Seamus Finnigan mentions to Harry in the Battle of Hogwards that Neville *really* gets the room of requirement. He knows how to access it, equip it for the whole group's needs and find a way back to it. J, both you and Ben really *get* Harry Potter. You are both the masters of the lore of Harry Potter (and Fantastic Beast's) . Thank you !

The older I get the more I realize how much I personally disagree with Rowling's views and philosophy and ethics in general. Voldemort is a killer, an absolute monstrous being and still she pictures the act of killing him as "harmful to the soul" that is such a Kaantian view of ethics and philosophy. "If something is wrong, it is ALWAYS wrong, under all circumstances..." BS!! Killing a monster when he is trying to kill you and your friends and destroy the world is not murder and does no harm to your soul. ✌

You guys make things so easy to understand!!

That intro never gets old :)

This one made my day! Voldy laughing gets me every time.

I've got a theory that might be interesting to explore - could snape be an animagus? so snape duels McGonnagal, Flitwick, and Sprout, and flees by jumping out of a window in a deserted classroom. McGonnagal says he learned a 'few tricks from his master' (Voldemort), and harry sees a batlike shape flying away. is this snape himself flying like voldemort, or is he an animagus, or was this a form of transfiguration? just some food for thought.

Still think that Magic Teapot had something to do with Queenie's decision at the end of The Crimes of Grindelwald! #EvilMagicTeapot

0:48 I love making these references because they're super easy, barely an inconvenience.

Wow! You guys are becoming the masters of research! Thank you for diving so deep into the subject. You did a wonderful job of figuring out and explaining this topic.

I absolutely love Harry Potter, but I would love to see a “ venting video” on things that don’t make sense. Like how they seemingly know nothing about the muggle world, but have been going to school with muggles since they were eleven. And why do they dress differently, and at what age do they stop trying to dress similar to muggles (like the weasleys, young dumbledore and everyone else at hogwarts) and start dressing in robes and wizard hats a la older Dumbledore and professor mcgonagle. And even if the weasleys were poor, how could two highly talented wizards not be able to perform spells to improve a lot of their situations. Why do they seems to love candy and sweets so much? And how did they learn to read if no school before 11 and what did they do? And learn how to measure or collect ingredients for future potions class. How do muggle-born parents not spill the beans about the wizarding world? I’ve always kind of assumed a version of the the Fidelius charm, but that doesn’t seem to add up. Where do muggle students tell their muggle friends and family they go to school. Do you have to use a wand to get in trouble using magic as an underage wizard? Is it common for wizard families to throw infants out a window to see if they are magical? And I know this will bring a lot of hate, but how quidditch doesn’t make any sense at all. if anything it would be better played on the ground except maybe the seekers but the snitch would have to stay inbounds, like what’s stopping it from literally taking off? Why is Ron the only one to ever wear a quidditch helmet. Not even his little sister wears one. And the cursed child….

I don't like using the term "murderer" in regards to Harry killing Voldemort. Murder isn't synonymous will kill. It's a legal term referring to homicide under certain circumstances. Self defense, defense of others, and war are not considered murder, all of which would have applied to Harry killing Voldemort.

The song choices in this video made me chuckle several times while watching. Loved it!!

J singing along with the intro is my new favorite thing.

Day 24 of asking scb to do Percy Jackson content

Here's a question: Voldemort kills Harry (even though Harry comes back), which means Voldemort defeated Harry, which means the Elder Wand *should* have become Voldemort's, no? If being disarmed is enough for the wand to switch allegiance, why doesn't Harry being taken out all but entirely have the same result?

6:57 the vold clip of him laughing like that always gets me lol fishpog.

8:01 "Voldemort prime", I want this to become canon 😄

I think it’s all the BetterHelp ads, but I wonder if Wizards can’t commit suicide by magic. The only suicide we really see is the Peverille brother who hangs himself (not by magic). Could it be impossible for a Wizard to kill themselves with a spell if they always intend themselves to die? Thus Voldemort killing Harry would be a magical suicide, this impossible? Probably not, but it would make sense that creating Horocruxes is final and can’t be undone, do maybe the creator cannot destroy their own Horocruxes. Idk

Maybe boo was a passenger on one of bnl's ships. The one that crashed into planet onward where she learned magic in maybe told people about the aliens in spiring the mythology . And if corporations are secretly run by lizard people could Randel have been the guy to fund BnL or are we more likely to see hibillies with gata Boots

The singing over the SCB Jingle brought back some life to my day (see what I did there?)

We all know J loves Ralph Fienes's "Avadakavara" as much as we do 😂

I still don’t understand why Lilly’s protection which was supposed to break when Harry came of age, was allowed to continue on just because Voldemort took his blood to regenerate.

It is crazy how jk Rowling had all of this set up from the beginning

“is Voldemort himself” “E heheee” I almost spit my water 🤣🤣

Thank you for playing that bit of song. It immediately popped into my head and I'm glad I was not alone XD Love it.

Harry never died. When Voldemort zapped Harry what he really did was kill his own Horcrux. Harry at that point was no longer a Horcrux so if Voldemort zapped him a second time it would have killed him for real.

You do realize that killing in self defense isn't considered murder by either legal or most moral definitions? Harry would NOT have been a murderer if he'd fought back and just happened to kill Voldemort. So I think that part of your theory is flat out wrong. Needs revision.

The voldermort laugh catches me off guard every time 😂

"Avada Kedavra!" "Hello. My name is Harry Potter. You killed my parents. Prepare to die." "Avada Kedavra!" "Hello. My name is Harry Potter. You killed my parents. Prepare to die." "Avada bloody Kedavra!" "Hello! My name is Harry Potter! You killed my parents! Prepare to die!"

First?

First

I’ve always wondered if someone could just say “accio resurrection stone” and get it from the forest. Like i get it’s dropped in the forest and seems difficult to find because who can find one single stone in a forest. A wizard, that’s who. And there are a huge population of wizards right there. Is there a minimum or maximum distance for that spell? And if Harry could only use the resurrection stone because he was the master of death, does that mean it’s useless now without the elder wand?

I feel you guys have posted 10 different versions of this video, and I love every single one of them!

5:02 Lupin looks like he's using his second chance at life to invade Poland

Harry's secret weapon-- Brings a vile of his own blood whenever he goes on a Auror mission and injects it into his enemies' bloodstream.

This is my fav scb video ever bc it lasted exactly as long as my shower.

9:55 - 10:20. Harry walks in and says "Voldermort, i have come to bargain"

What I always wanted to know about the wizarding world is how Spell crafting works? How are wizards able to create new spells and what are the rules?

Now, I'm just spitballing here. If one would have to eat a person that was murdered by his own hand in order to make a horcrux, does that mean that Voldemort either ate James or Lily that night that he attacked Harry? Is that maybe why James's sacrifice wasn't as powerful?

The whole time I was just like "he's a Horcrux!" but you went into so much more depth I loved this!

I can just imagine Harry constantly coming back all Doctor Strange-like just going "Tom... I've come to bargain"

I really love J singing along with the intro. Just like I always do

Your videos are always fun. thanks!!! A trivia question for you ... The fall term at Hogwarts goes from Sept 1st to mid-December. Classes resume right after New Years but don't end until late June. (25-26 weeks) The summer break is only July and August. So, what's the school's "semester" schedule ... and what was Harry's class schedule? (Admittedly vague, but we do have some hints.)

Another great theory would be about the stone's success rate in the willful death of it's owner, what about the afterlife is so great that your loved ones actively entice you to die, even though some of them sacrificed themselves to ensure your survival. The flip in their viewpoint alone is intriguing. I mean honestly everyone who showed up for Harry were adamant that Harry should live in their last moments.

a new Harry Potter theory? best way to spend a Tuesday afternoon!
