Ilvermorny Origins Explained (American Hogwarts) • A Story By J.K. Rowling 

Omg same

@@-sonnenblumen- it does exist we are all muggles (no offence) and J.K Rowling is a witch that made 'fantasy' story but its real 🤐🤫

Lol all of us say same! XD Though I live in America so I'd have gone to Ilvermorny.

@शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ That's super cool, but I live in the USA and they don't have those at least not where I live lol. Besides I'm 30 now so I guess it may be a bit late for that anyways. XD

@शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ Oh I see, that's cool. I'll have to check it out. :)

jk rowling would have to sell it to them or sum and she would not since she can find someone to make it herself and probably make it better than they could

The_SCP _Foundation ikr- I’m just a casual girl waiting-

The_SCP _Foundation well actually they are *GONE* because of Harry

The_SCP _Foundation I mean, Hogwarts was probably safer back then. As well, you know, HARRY WASN’T ATTENDING YET 😂. Plus, compared to the abuse she had to endure with her aunt, Hogwarts would have been her safe haven. Just like so many other children, like Hardy James Potter & Severus Snape. Harry had to endure verbal and mental abuse (and probably physical as well) by his aunt and uncle, and Snape had to endure physical, verbal, and mental abuse by his father. Harry had it worse when it comes to being unsafe at Hogwarts then Snape (unless we concentrate on bullying, Janes Potter made Snape’s school years miserable. Not saying he was all the innocent, but Janes crosses so many lines), as he himself was ALWAYS in a form of danger. Yet, to him, Hogwarts will always be his first home. The first place he felt wanted, or rather, loved.

This post was made by the squib gang

I'm not everyone. Not almost.

What if a no-maj that has no idea about magic and also from a only no-maj family got accepted and the opposite type of person (pure blood family, prob from slitheren fam, not a squib,) was not accepted

mehmet demir Everyone is accepted and then there is Donald rump.

I wasn't...

Huh, I never thought of that 🤔 But honestly no-maj James is already a cool person cuz he literally helped build a magical school despite being non magical

How do you know that? Maybe there are more No-Mags that made wands?

@@topazlynx2228 yes, the nomajs that arent supposed to know magic exists are definitely making wands. especially in colonial america

@@alexpalaciossantos4940 Still, it raises some questions. How involved can a Muggle be in the Wizarding World? What things are truly blind to them, and what is just hidden by charms and enchantments? Can a Muggle brew Potions? Can they fly a Broomstick? Can they even achieve small bits of magic? (With outside help, of course.) The story of James offers the question of what Muggles can do in a magical world. And it's frustrating that we don't have all the answers.

@@kingcamelot1395 as far as I know, Muggles can't brew potions, can ride broomsticks and can't use magic, but it can affect them. According to Newt Scamander, Wizards have different biology to muggles, which is why muggles can birth Wizards/witches most likely, and a squib is a mix between both types of human. If a muggle has different biology, then they can ,at most, tap into a little bit of magic.

Assuming he knew it was rendered inactive he probably didn't think it was worth the effort

I don't know. Ilvermorny was co-established with a Muggle and is generally more accepting of Muggle-borns. I'm not sure a pureblood supremacist like Voldemort would want to associate himself with a school that was established by and is still full of blood traitors.

If he did know and tried to, I’m pretty sure the wand wouldn’t budge if attempted to summon it. I would say, He’s not a true pure blood. The last remaining pure blood from of the Gaunt family was the aunt who deactivated the wand before she died. Even Isolt’s couldn’t activate it and decided to bury the wand.

You... do realize that the reason the tree grew was BECAUSE it had been deactivated? I'm pretty sure this is known amongst wizards and witches. So yeah He most likely couldn't have been able to turn the wand back on.

@@topazlynx2228 yes, but remember, voldemort considered himself special. As better than others. I wouldn't be suprised if he actually gave it a try. Afterall, he is proud of being Slytherin's descendent.

Wow,

Potter Head true, too true

Maybe because Dumbledore was not alive then...

Because Harry was an essential

Because she got her letter, read it and her guardian replied saying she wasn't going to attend. You cant be forced to go... Harry wasn't responding therefore he got spammed. People try so hard to find flaws and loopholes when most of them are easily explained if we just engage our brain.

Haha yeah

He still a mud blood tho

@@baddonkey75 no he's not a 'mud blood' is someone who is muggle born, he was born Wizard, cause his dad was a Wizard

@@ambzerambzer8800 a mudblood is a mixed race. His dad has muggle blood.

@@ambzerambzer8800 non wizard bornes are muggles. Unless you have wizard ancestry and you are muggle you are called a squib

A straight up Fuck You to not only the Slytherin Family but to Salazar himself. Lmfao

That would actually be a great story line imo, tho even if I'll like it, I'm not sure I could ever look at Rowling's works without a tinge of bitterness

@@laikeree_4213 They could have made a Plot where Harry is later revealed be the Direct Descendent of Isolt through Lily like it would be Slytherin Heir VS Slytherin Heir.

@@user-mc4gb6mt9q Oooo like if Lily was a decendant of the squib daughter (sorry forgot her name) 👀 But I feel like he might already be distantly related since James was a pureblood and purebloods were basically all distantly related

@@user-mc4gb6mt9q nah not even harry, I was thinking of an alternate storyline in the same universe like Fantastic beasts.

Jessica Easton I’m also in America and in forth grade

me too

*me, a 13 year old about to enter highschool* still waiting

Ilvermorny doesn't use letters it's a word of mouth school

Me, a 16 year old Brit: *it must take the owls ages to get this far south... that’s probably why it’s taken 5 years for my letter to arrive!!*

🤣🤣🤣 My life.

Mood

Not true she was examining their parents wands but was having trouble finding something to use as a core, also she probably mentioned the idea to James over the years after he came up with the layout of their house

Drew Pearce they were joking

I think it's because after a few decades Ilvermorny had been established, a wizard called Robert or something married/wanted to marry a Muggle and it blew up the wizards' cover. It was the first time the wizards were almost discovered after the Statute of Secrecy became a thing and even led to major prosecution of wizardkind in America eventually resulting in the deaths of four witches with two of them being children, so the MACUSA at the time took drastic measures to prevent it from ever happening again - a ban on a Muggle-magical union.

It's shown as "MACUSA" or Magical Conress of the United States of America Magical (MA) Congress (C) United (U) States (S) America (A)

Merica

Well you also have to realize everyone in the world did the same thing, probably because they started to fear the normal people, something to think about is the “magical world” is just the real world, the wizard governments just keep it away from the non magical people and so it’s separated from the magical world and the non magical world, or really, the real world and the cover up world

As they should.

And Wampus cats are Cherokee and other Southeastern tribal folklore. My family had a cat named Wampus 😊

RIGHT

i wish the origin family was native american though, i feel like that would be really cool

Lydia Skittles Isolt longed for Hogwarts, thus she might have taken it as an inspiration for Ilvermorny.

I ain't liking this comment cuz it's stuck at 69😏😏

Yup

the "weird tree" was planted much later at hogwarts because of Remus

@Micheal Ellis yeah, because ungrateful kids like you are so entitled.

I wanna act in this version after the potter series like year 2020...…….my character starts off believed to be a muggle with no magic...…..manages to save a squad of wizards/witches without using magic, like he causes enough of a destraction while saving 1-2 of them, say like they travel in groups of 4 a member from each house..... he gets knocked out and wakes up at ilvermorny, they assume him to be a wizard(hes 16-17 years old) he tries to tell them otherwise, but seeing that he had no previous schooling they go to get him sorted into house...…...surprised to find him to be a muggle, hes permited to stay at least until he recovers, but whatever sorts students tips off the teachers wjhats he is...………….at the age of 2 his wings where torn from his back....he was born in the 2000's his mother an archangel, his father a muggle. To stop a prophecy that on the year of 2020 an cosmic eclipse and a planetary alignment would shield the earth from the heavens and weaken the seals on hell and that the king of hell Satan would for a full year be unrestrained from having demonic/demon armies and his general the fallen dark angel lucifer engulf the earth in hell itself...……….the heavens are sworn to interfere with the earth as little as possible outside of what is commanded……...Nor are they to alter prophecy's... going against proclemations, Atheria a warrior arc angel in secret attemted to alter the dark 2020 prophecy, by bareing a half human son, forging a destony for him to lead 7 warriors(a winged gorgon, a minataur, a centaur,a warewolf, a dryad elf, a half dragon human hybrid) to protect, defeat or suppress the forces of hell...he has 3 months untill the prophecy comes to pace to endow him with magic they fuse the resurrection stone with the goblet of fire aloowing him to gain the souls/powers of 3 past wizards( Dumbledore, merlin and Goodrich gryphondor) he is gifted with the sword of gryphondor and Excalibur fusing the 2 blades and gets tpo forge a wizards staff from materials that chose him, like the wand chosing its wizard...………………………………………….IDK it was a long assed daydream

The woman has some imagination....

@@someone-oi6us and who you supposed to be? 'Captain save a tard'?

Don't we all?

I have a theory what If they are because JK Rowling could be Rita Skeeter in disguise and she made her sound so bad to throw us off and JKR is only seven years older than Harry Potter would be right now so maybe after getting her wand snapped this was her revenge

Watching the Life of videos is like watching Biographies

But they are.....

That’s true

100%

Like seriously, 4 people got together and made Hogwarts? BORING

Powerful rich Wizards made Hogwarts lol, ilvermorny is made from struggle its way better

I think that’s because almost everybody knows about Hogwarts but almost nobody knows about Ilvermorny so we’re introduced to a new school and story

lol

I mean “New York, New England”

It gets to the point

It's a bird that causes thunder on its a thunder bird as britz do it too though with names like blue birds and also America means land of the feathered serpent so take that as you will

it mentioned every human of magical power is accepted to Ilvermorny (unlike Hogwarts where you're chosen) so i guess if it was meant to be we'd only be able to hear about Ilvermorny through the vines and have to register ourselves. a letter would've been super cool and made each of us feel super special though. lol

Azy Draws I’m wheezing! That’s so accurate it hurts!

Ikt

I mean, I can walk into Walmart and pick up one with a few hundred rounds for at most $100! Oh wait, nerf guns. And guess what? In America, children aren’t supposed to have guns. People want to ban guns entirely, instead, it should be as follows: you must own a gun safe, and everyone in the household must be mentally stable unless their doctor has given the OK that the unstable person is safe enough to carry a firearm(like ADHD or autism possibly)

Azy Draws there’s already background checks. So I just listed what I’d add. So in total 1. Gun safe 2. No criminals/only reformed criminals 3. Mental stability

Flyingturret208: The Cannon That’s what people who talk about gun control want. We don’t want no guns, we just want it to be as regulated as cars, which it currently isn’t.

apparently there is a lot more that happened in wizard America after that.

Snape wasn't, either. And probably a good number of Voldemort's followers that came from Slytherin would never have joined him if they'd been treated right. What did they expect, telling 11 year old CHILDREN they're evil from the moment they sort into Slytherin, ridiculing and humiliating them and ostracizing the whole house with even the teachers in on it? Tell someone long enough they're good for nothing and evil and they'll internalize it. Prejudice, people...not only Slytherin and Voldemort suffered from it. And if you treat people badly, eventually they'll lash out. Also, if I'd been a Slytherin being humiliated and all that and Voldemort (who, in the beginning was a real charmer) would have offered to help me become great, give me the abilities to protect myself from ever being hurt like that again, power to be recognized...I doubt I would have believed my tormentors claiming the guy was bad news. And by the time I'd realize Voldemort's evil, it would be too late. I don't think Voldemort reacted well to traitors (speaking of those that had been in his ranks but defected) or people who clearly showed an interest and suddenly decide "no, actually, not for me, sorry" Once you were on Voldy's radar, you were pretty much f*cked.

but also she wasn't sorted... so who knows if she would have been chosen for another house

I’m a Slytherin myself and I like to consider myself a good person :D

a random cannoli potato we already knew that... snape....

Let's play Spot the Slytherin! Slytherin count: 6

Anselm Carasco cause he only invited European schools

They would have to travel there. It would be dangerous to use magic to send the whole school as it could badly injure students.

The tri wizard tournament is a tradition held between the 3 largest wizarding schools of Europe since the 13th century, that's why not.

Dumbledore doesn't get to invite the people personally the ministry invites them and it's been tradition

It's called TRIwizard cup...

The family in Marvolo's line before him might have took the locket from Gormlaith's after hearing the news of her demise.

Omy 😂😂😂

This made me laugh way more than it should have

I’m kinda sad I don’t get to go to hogwarts cause jk Rowling only lets brits go

I hope they forget Fantastic Beast films entirely and give us an entirely new Wizarding World saga set at Ivermorny

DCDrew no I want both

I hope they make this into a movie itself... Not just in fantastic beasts

Celeste • eh...I don’t know if she was on the same level as voldy. She certainly wasn’t immortal like voldy had made himself, at least insofar as it took years of preparation and hard work of several witches and wizards young and old for just a chance of things going right. I think Gormlaith would be a closer analog to lucious Malloy. A bitter fairly powerful but not overly exceptional pure blood. Or maybe even better like Sirius Black’s Mom.

Well it's not as if Voldemort was the first to have those ideas either. A lot of wizards had the same elitist attitudes and have probably attempted to make a grab for power.

@@Mia_M Right like Grindelwald for example....However, I don't think Gormlaith is in the same league...Voldy, Grindy and Dumbly were exceptionally powerful and talented wizards.

But she has a nose??????

No... Just a medieval Umbridge

I've watched the presentation of the story of how Ilvermorny was created, and it's white man's burden pure and simple. It's established that there's magical being all over the Earth, including in the "new world" so why wouldn't the native tribes that had shamans and medicine men, and witch doctors have their own system to train those among their tribes who have such powers? The answer is the Harry Potter fans want a great white savior to establish a Eurocentric school because God knows the original inhabitants of North, South and Central America never could have done it.

@@JJSmith-le5mu America is over 70% white, and it was founded by ex English men. So obviously most would be white lol

@@thecensoredmuscle563 wrote: "America is over 70% white" Not at the time Ilvermorny would have been established. The indigenous people dominated the continent, and their system of magic would have dominated. Despite that, there has to be a white savior who implements "white-man's burden" (why don't you search for information out of Canada about the more than 1,000 Indian children whose bodies have been found at schools designed to beat the savage out of them, and maybe you'll understand why I'm so opposed to the Ilvermorny crap [especially when white man's burden crap is celebrated by whites the way you and others celebrate Ilvermorny]).

@@JJSmith-le5mu Oh calm down, you big baby. The cruel treatment of native people is a sick fact that we should all be made aware of, but I doubt Rowling knew anything resembling that travesty when she wrote this, nor had its base concept in mind as inspiration. Not every story written by a white person has a conscious or subconscious "white man superior" message etched into its soul. I did not at all see anything in the story about white people acting as a superior or condescending comparison toward something in stringent regards to the native peoples; just four European settlers who traveled to America for their own reasons, but who somehow came together based on circumstance and who all ultimately developed a familial bond strong enough to build up a dream and face off against a monstrous force of evil, while at the same time encountering preternatural beings who were based off folkloric creatures native to America. And last I checked, those who attend Ilvermorny all come solely of their own volition instead of being forced into it by biased local law or necessity. Where's your suspension of disbelief!

@@JJSmith-le5mu Lmfao. You just referred to native Americans as Indians, yet you're calling all fans of this series racist. Have you ever heard of fiction? There's so many plot holes in Rowlings books, that's just one of them. But yeah OK dude we all just NEED a white hero. Lmfao. Get over yourself.

Lmao I love this 😭

I have a personal feeling about Cursed Child. That the events technically took place, but that the telling has been warped. As if we are actually watching a stage play performed by wizards, trying their best to make a biopic production, and improvising, so that certain characters don't sound the same way and odd events happen.

The Marauders would be most interesting. To see the dynamic between Peter and the rest.

Also, a story about the other schools around the world.. that would be amazing

You are so right

At least the cc cast a dark actor in the play

Both of could speak parseltoung both sets of parents were killed by decendents of Slytherin both were the only ones to survive both fought those decendents of Slytherin and both won in the end and got their dream job. Yeah I'm definitely feeling some deja vu 😆😊
