Whoa whoa whoa! big mistake in the Barty Crouch Jr story. The dementor's kiss was not administered by his father. At the time Barty was caught, Crouch Sr was transfigured into a bone and left in the woods. Minister Fudge ordered the dementors.
I came to say the same thing. He was already dead by that point. I always wondered if they ever went and found that bone in Hagrid’s garden and transfigured him back to be buried.
Good video! I see some people have shared a few corrections already but I don't see anyone mentioning the issue with the Animagus topic. The Ministry having a record of all Animagi is due to the importance of everyone knowing who can transform, to avoid crimes or other acts using that form as disguise. For example if the Marauders had registered originally then it would have been easier to capture Peter Pettigrew. Rita Skeeter was an Animagi that hadn't registered, hence why she was able to hear secret conversations and manipulate/blackmail people etc.
@@hallbjornthefirebreather8376 jk Rowling originally said he was just a very intelligent cat. Anything she didn’t state openly in interviews is not canon - pottermore etc is maintained by employees. He’s just a smart cat. You’re welcome!
9:30 I think the love room is specially made to study love as a legitimate branch of magic like all the other rather than the study of love itself. Like the kind of spell that Harry's mother cast unknowingly to protect Harry from Voldemort. It's just that they don't know enough about that kind of magic to make it an official branch of magic.
i think it more so implies wizards don't understand the magic/force behind love .... Muggles have love Squibs have love LOVE IS NOT wizard magic but it is magic

The Horcrux creation process is not irreversible, as you said in your video. Not according to Hermione. It requires the person to repent and understand the horrible nature of their crime, feel sorry for what they've done, etc, which is basically impossible for Riddle to do, so I guess you're right that it is irreversible (for Riddle).
@@VaultLore Also it was stated in the books that any object can be turned into a horcrux, even a dirty floor mop. But Dumbedore rightly speculated that Voldemort with his ego would only choose objects of large significance. And sice Hogwats was the only place he ever considered home, artifacts connected with its founders were perfect candidates.
@@ania7930I thought it was more because of his ego again, wishing to put parts of his soul in legendary items of legendary people, and Dumbledore suspected it when Riddle eyed Gryffindor's sword back when he entered his office for the last time.
@@denisucuuu but the sword wasnt in the office at that point. the sword was missing for an unknown amount of time until harry pulled it from the hat in book 2. Dumbledore didnt have knowledge of riddle using horcruxes until harry was turned into one, but i think he wasn't certain of the situation until the diary in book 2. now, Dumbledore might have guessed the situation, and his guesses are painfully accurate, but that doesn't mean he knew for certain for a while. only reason we can make that kind of extrapolation of info is hagrid saying he didnt believe riddle was gone in book 1
I personally think that the Veil is much older then the deathly hallows. And that the leaders of the magical world found it and built the ministry of magic over it to protect/study it
ngl, i really believe SCB's theories for the archway, as well as for the pensive and the mirror of erised, that they were made by the peverell brothers, along with them making the hallows. the mirror made by the eldest, the archway made by the middle, and the pensive by the youngest. (this theory also agrees with Dumbledore that the brothers made the hallows, not death itself)
I could be wrong but I thought there was an article on Pottermore that said the veil was found and the ministry built around it. I swore I read that somewhere.
The archway in the Department Of Mysteries intrigues me. On one hand you can walk around it and theres nothing on the other side; on the other you pass through it and are never seen again. Its a true mystery. I think it symbolises death in the most blunt way; you can both see death and not see it at the same time. Its also about the acceptance of death.
It is important to mention that 5:47 with thestrals experience of death itself is not the only criterion - it needs to be experienced consciously, because Harry’s mother have died in front of him when he was one year old, and he supposed to see thestrals starting with philosophers stone.
Well done, despite the few mistakes (Crouch and Lovegood). Since I see you asking the others: I came for Harry Potter. One thing you mentioned that got me thinking was about the name Percival, which creates an iceberg of itself in this context. For one, the knights of the round table were via Arthur in contact with Merlin. The story of Percival is that of a young hero whith great ambition who makes a mistake as a youth that will take a great part of his life to make up for. And just remember it is also the name of Percy Weasley. Then the name itself - if it originates from Pryderi in the Welsh Mabinogi, there's a whole magical world to be found there. If it is derived from either Old French per ce val (through this valley) or perce val (pierce the valley), that brings up a whole new set of associations, from Psalm 23 to the hymn Jerusalem, fom Dumbledore as a shepherd to the line 'I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand'. This gets richer every minute I think about it.
great video! outside of a few things that honestly i wouldn’t know if i hadn’t been a fan of this franchise for about a decade and a half (animagi don’t choose their forms, pandora lovegood died in a spell creation incident, the barry crouch jr bit, etc.), it’s a really good iceberg and you clearly have a lot of passion for what you do. would love to see more like this!
i was also correcting him in my head when he said animagi choose their forms and Pandora dying from a magical beast incident. but i do appreciate the attempt to collect so much information from the HP universe.
I think the veiled archway is an objectification of death after life itself. The fact that it is in the department of mysteries seems to be hinting at people observing it and being fascinated about it so much.
29:16 I really hate to be correcting you, but... the kiss wasn't ordered by his father, but by Fudge. By that time he had already killed his father on the Hogwarts grounds.
Interesting video, well done! I have some well-intentioned notes on your script - there's a lot of repetition of phrases throughout ("serves as", ”adds a layer”, ”hints at”, ”the consequences of” and ”the narrative explores” for example), which can read a little monotonous or redundant, and it kind of dilutes the impact of your message. I would also suggest re-recording lines if you flub them - it’s obviously impossible to read through a script like this without stumbling every now and then, but you’ll get a neater result if you re-record the lines. Also, some of these topics you describe as theories when they’re fairly well-established lore. Like, the extended world of magic is pointed to not only in the core books (with the schools you mentioned but also with, for example, Charlie studying dragons in Romania), but also in the subsequent Fantastic Beasts films. All this is to say, very good video and I mean no hate at all!
To me the Dept of Mysteries is like studying the old ways in the face of new fancy spell craft. Studying time, love, and death, the most powerful forces even in the magical world.
i feel like if love is a mechanic in their world that can solve many unexplainable issues then it works as long as its consistent and doesnt occur with fake love or a love that isnt deep enough.
One of the Golden Rules is "Love thy neighbor as thyself" (not as a spouse)! If everyone did this, it would be just like a spell. As well as another Golden Rule "Do unto others as you would have done unto you"! Wizard or Muggle, wouldn't it be a much nicer place to live, if all people adhere to these Rules? (Just like Paradise!❤
What is in the books should not be deeper than lvl 3. Deeper levels are for some Rowling comments like how witches didn't use toilets before XX century, they just poop wherever and cast cleaning spell after, theories such as "Ron is time-travel Dumbledore", famous fanfics (cursed child, pairing ones and about rational thinking), magic systems for elves and goblins, bans and censorship of books in different countries, etc. The point of iceberg is to surprise people with wow info, not to recall events from the books.
love is definitely a bit of a deus ex machina in the story. lily potter is almost certainly not the first person to sacrifice themselves for someone they love in the history of witchcraft and wizardry and so it would follow that harry is not the first person to be protected by love's power. this should be a documented phenomenon in the world. it also opens up lots of other questions. if someone dies to protect anything, does that thing or group of people benefit from protection? if lupin died in the battle of hogwarts to protect those within, why did they not also benefit from that protection? it unfortunately, kind of breaks the world if you appropriately apply this mechanic to the wizarding world as a whole rather than a convenient device to explain harry's survival and why he's "special"
the story would indicate that it protects harry in perpetuity from voldemort. just one of those things that doesn't really make sense and kind of destroys a lot of the tension and seriousness of the world if you think about it too critically. sirius black died protecting harry as well, did that provide harry protection from Bellatrix Lestrange? logically it would if we were to follow the rules laid down. mad eye moody also died to protect him. many questions arise. or is it only a mother's love? who knows@@VaultLore
It’s not only that Lily died to protect Harry for Love, Dumbledore also cast a very power spell upon Harry to strengthen the protection and make it endure until he comes of age and lives with Lily’s sister at least once a year. It’s mentioned in the books. I think that Harry is not special, because his mother died for him. Actually he, by default is not special at all, but he becomes special after Voldemorts actions on the prophecy.
Wasn't Lily offered a way out (I.e. Snape begged Voldermort to let her live) but she refused to leave Harry so he killed her anyway therefore giving her chosen sacrifice extra power? Lupin wasn't given a choice by his killers.
"There have only been seven animagi this century" I think the number of non-registered animagi probably far exceeds the number of registered animagi. And probably it's not all that difficult. After all, Peter Pettigrew was nothing special, and how many amazing things could James, Sirius and Remus do in a few years (quidditch captain, Hogwarts map, animagi, etc...)
@@neonxvices I don’t think it’s about varying the language. I think it’s a sign that there’s more to say on that specific topic and you should be adding to the script. Something else is going on. What is it. What are the implications. And occasionally.
Correction: Pandora Lovegood died when experimenting with spell creation, nothing to do with an Erumpent horn, nor magical creatures in general. No idea how you made a mistake like this. :D
I've just started the video, and I just wanna say I know this is going to be one of my favourite videos. Your scripting is lovely and you've the perfect voice for this!
one of the things about thestrals is, why didn't harry see them right away? his mother was murdered in front of him as a child. also, they'd be more of a well known phenomenon amongst the school children. rowling portrays it as if almost no one knows about them or can see them other than luna and harry, but people are not that unfamiliar with death. there'd be plenty of students that could see them. people certainly wouldn't think harry is crazy for seeing them
exactly. there would be no doubt about what's pulling the carriages. someone with a family like ron's would know about them, as would a know it all like hermione. it would be pretty much common knowledge. it strikes me as something that rowling originally wrote to demonstrate that the world harry was entering was magical "wow the carriages are being pulled magically" and then decided to invent this backstory later on in the later books to use as a device.@@VaultLore
Harry couldn’t see them right away, because he was only one year old as he saw his mother being killed and you have to be capable of understanding the concept of death.
What you said about wand lore makes you got to wonder, if Harry didn’t have the piece of Voldemort’s soul inside him, would he still have been accepted by that same wand or a different one since he wouldn’t have had the piece of the owner of the wand’s sibling?
Hey man, I found your video last night when I was chilling in bed before sleep as I usually do.. Anyway youtube recommended you to me, and I went down a rabbit hole of your videos and enjoyed it a lot! Anyway, I was shocked to see you didnt have more subscribers but I am very confident when I say that I think youre gonna make it one day. Just keep working hard man, your content is great! 😀
I read a comment saying they thought this video had thousands of views and I couldn’t agree more! Walking into this (not just off the topic) I thought this video was sooo well put together and well researched. Lucky to be one of the first subscribe to a future great RU-vidr 🎉
Book 3... During Harrys first class with Lupin , the class was to think of something funny and apply it to what scared them. Ron put skates on the huge spider but Harry didnt get the chance to because Lupin stepped in front of him. I know what I would have thought of, what about anyone else?
Cursed Child was dreadful. It goes against so much of what we already knew about the magical world. Voldemort planned to live forever and rule alone....HE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD A KID UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Harry, after being raised without parents, would not have been the jerk of a father that he was to his son Albus. Anything that happened while using a Time Turner in book 3 had already happened and you were simply playing your part in making events happen, there was no changing time and erasing people from existence and altering timelines. The same type of device should not follow two sets of time travel rules...that's just lousy writing. That book/play is not a genuine follow up to the 7 Harry Potter books even if JK Rowling says so. Cursed Child is the Harry Potter equivalent of the Star Wars Holiday Special.
the funniest part about "the wizrading world outside of Britain" is how insanely tone deaf the allocation of countries to schools is, like putting all of Korea and Japan into one school or having Germany in a school with all balkan countries AND ALL OF RUSSIA lmao i know that wizards likely don't go too much into the politics and history of muggle stuff in their countries but considering how many children there were in Hogwarts alone raises the question of just how many there must be in those other schools that have students from multiple countries and just how culturally diverse some of them must be, think about it, students from south west Germany go to the same school as students from north east Russia, that's halfway across the world from one another edit: ok nvm i just checked and apparently Russia has it's own school, still the point stands, people from Lappland share a school with greek students
My question is about the movie at the beginining only Harry and Luna could see the thestrials but towards the end they all could see them when they flew them to the department of ministries but nobody got killed in front of the others in the movie so why couldnt they see them at the beginining.
In the books they can't all see them. The people who can have to help the others on and Ron specifically says how weird it is to be sitting on them and not be able to see them.
The ministry of Magic built around the Veil. The Veil has been their wayyyy longer than almost anything magical Harry has witnessed, Pretty sure its older than the hogwarts castle or hallows
@VaultVideosYT looked into it just a tad more, the ministry built around the veil. But it doesn't pre date hogwarts. Straight from jk. She said she did get a little inspired from the tale of the 3 brothers and wanted symbolism between the resurrection stone and the veil.
Yeah probably getting to deep, but it’s all a little convenient that the ministry is in London, and the veil just happened to be in London even though magic is global. London is tiny compared to the world..
Made it through the video and i gotta say, dispite a couple discrepancies, this is a really well done video. Great job with narration, and the visual aspect. I love just having the pictures scrolling so you have something to look at, but if youre just listening then youre not missing anything. Also, i made some other comments that i now realize i should have just made one long one lol, sorry for that. Ill do better next time. Much love "Jake", ill see you in the next one
55:30 Rowling explained this herself. Basically, American Wands are severely restricted. Young wizards are only allowed to even have them in school grounds, and they are controlled very strictly by the government in America. A mirror of Rowling's gun control opinion. It's really on the nose honestly.
I know that you’re a new RU-vidr and I feel like I should say that some of these things were not correct. The Barty Crouch Jr section, for example, you seem to have mixed up some things. Crouch Sr put his son into Azkaban, which did have dementors but didn’t order the kiss on him. When Crouch Jr eventually got the dementor’s kiss, he had killed his father. If I’m remembering right he had just admitted to everything under the influence of a truth potion and the school had called the minister of magic, who brought a dementor with him. The dementor kissed Crouch Jr without permission.
Mad that his friend spoiled Dumbledore's death for him but proceeds to spoil it for a countless number of people who haven't exactly read them all the way through yet
The fandom was beyond crazy and toxic to emotional and the werehouse employes snagging books an then selling them or leaking spoilers.. Then twilight said hold my beer.
I always thought it was stupid that pupils thought Luna was strange. They live in a magical world where nearly everything is possible. As soon as she starts talking it's like magic doesn't exist and she's crazy.
I love the Dumbledore represents death theory. Dumbledore is obviously death, Snape is the resurrection stone, Voldy is the Elder Wand, and Harry is the Cloak
i always thought of it with grindelwald being the elder wand, voldemort being the resurrection stone and harry as the cloak, just cus of their personal connections to each of those hallows and how each of their hallows either end up going directly from dumbledore to them or vice versa. e.g. dumbledore got the elder wand from grindelwald, dumbledore got the resurrection stone from the riddle estate when voldemort hid it there, and dumbledore was the one who gave harry the cloak on christmas
My problem with magical beasts n such is, How do muggles know nothing about them? Why don't they? Did they evolve from animals we know about but became magically invisible to us?
very well put together video despite a few mistakes. Aside from things that I have seen others making comments about, Such as the dementors kiss being A result of cornelius fudge bringing them with him when he went to question barty crouch. I think that the Bit where you talk about the wider wizardy world in the final level of the iceberg has already been pretty fleshed out, Not only by the books but but by other media like Pottermore. I believe there are twelve total schools of magic across the globe. Even when bringing up the tri wizard tournament Your wording makes it seem as though it is a new occurrence. The last time it happened was 100 years previously. When a cockatrice got loose and attacks and the judges I believe. In the beginning of the third book, Harry receives a letter from ron that tells him he is visiting the tombs of ancient egyptian wizards. This is where ron's older brother bill works as a curse breaker for gringots. Also in the fourth book , dragons are brought in from romania with the help of ron's other older brother charlie And a sphinx is brought in from egypt for the final task. Charlie is also mentioned in the first book when the trio. Need to enlist his help to get rid of Hagrid's pet dragon Norbert. Also during the quidditch world cup, Irish and bulgarian wizards are definitely mentioned. Just as well , a world cup implies quidditch teams from a variety of different countries across the globe. A transylvania team is mentioned as beating england in the last world cup. I believe a turkish team is also mentioned in regards to ludo bagman beating them. Not to mention, The fantastic beasts movies where we explore nineteen forty's american wizards , as well as a wider wizard in world at the end of secrets of dumbledore.
I think this is a pretty good video but there are some incorrect bits of information, the most obvious thing of which was how Pandora Lovegood died. It was stated clearly that Pandora had been experimenting with spells of her own creation when one of them backfired, killing her while Luna bore whiteness to the whole thing. The idea that she was killed my an Eurumpant Horn is a little ridiculus *queue Remus* since they don’t actually exist in the HP universe and that idea, while interesting and a little ironic to think about, would never be attributed to cannon. Other than that, I really enjoyed the video and I always love watching new HP theories/iceberg videos
I'm not a hater and it's definitely not illegal to do this, but I am almost 100% sure this script was written by ChatGPT. Ive used it enough in college to know exactly how it writes things 😂. Again, that's what the AI is for, so more power to you for using it. However, as some people have pointed out, the repetition of common ChatGPT phrases is blaring and distracting. I would at least try to reword it to sound more like how you would say it, while allowing it to write the main ideas.
Reguls death always confused me. He understood elf magic and that his elf could get out of the cave, why didn't he ask the elf to take him out if the cave?
What if the archway was the reason that the ministry was built in that particular site that the entire ministry was built around it to conceal it and to study it what if the archway marks the exact spot that the three brothers met death each of the elements of the deathly hallows come together in this structure, the stone of the archway represents the resurrection stone for the portal between worlds. The veil is the cloak, concealing one side of the portal from the other the elder wand is the source of power, not only held by the archway but himself, the river in the story of the three Brothers was the Thames so when the site was discovered the the ministry of magic began construction of the building that would ultimately become the ministry of magic headquarters and then all of London evolved through the centuries around it
This is an beyond excellent video and explanation. I really really enjoyed listening to it as I sit here crocheting keep up the great work. I’m going to subscribe now.
Quick correction, durmstrang is not in eastern europe, might seem that way with its headmaster karkaroff and famous quidditch star Victor Krum being eastern european, but the school itself is somewhere in northern sweden or norway, JK didnt specify which
Hmm, given all the mistakes and the lack of compelling explanations for a lot of this stuff....smells like AI script-writing. If so, watch it. Can be a tool to give yourself a draft, but you have to revise and put in your own voice. If not, then I'd recommend putting a little more passion into your video. It doesn't sound like you like Harry Potter (guilty pleasure here, the dumb lore will never leave my mind), and rather just looked up a bunch of stuff.
Firstly I love that you name she who must not be named.lol also I'm wondering why you pronounce certain words like the other wizarding schools much differently than literally everyone else. Great video
I tried! But recording a video for an hour gets pretty tiring on my voice, also there are a lot of words that come from different regions, so I just end up reading them in the way that I remember reading them as a kid. Hard to break old habits! Thanks for watching!
@@VaultLore ok that makes sense. I thought people break it into smaller segments and edit them into one video. Doing the whole thing in one go is really impressive. Can't wait for more content!
I probably should break it up more, but it’s what fits best in my schedule 😂. Can I ask, are you here for Harry Potter specifically? Or other fiction lore, or just iceberg videos in general?
I believe that "Durmstrang is located in the northernmost regions of Norway or Sweden. Durmstrang has, however, taught students from as far afield as Bulgaria", as quoted by official Harry Potter websites. Great video nonetheless!
what happens if i am under the influence of imperio and i have to commit murder with avada kedavra, do i split my soul? or the one who spoke imperio of me, does he split his soul?
Watching this it just ocurred to me, that baby harry saw his parents or at least his mum die, kid harry sees basilisk die, & maybe quirell cant remember if he escapes or dies. Harry def should have seen thestrels long before cedric.
