The Marauders Origins Explained (Hogwarts Years to Their Deaths) 

James- Quidditch boi Sirius- hot boi Lupin- Werewolf boi Peter- Stupid boi

James - the one who died too young Sirius - the one who died too young Remus - the one who died too young Peter - the one who should have died instead of the others

It’s heartbreaking that James, Sirius and Remus died so young. James and Remus had just married the loves of their lives and become fathers, yet they never truly got a chance to experience it. And Sirius lost years of his life stuck in Azkaban framed for a crime he didn’t commit. And after only just being exonerated, he dies shortly after his freedom. It’s such an injustice that Peter outlived them all except Remus. He deserved so much worse a fate then he got.

James was the bravest Marauder. Sirius was the most loyal Marauder. Remus was the kindest Marauder. Peter was the weakest and most cowardly Marauder.

"I WOULD'VE DIED! I WOULD'VE DIED RATHER THAN BETRAY MY FRIENDS!" is one of my favorite lines in the entire series

A rat is suitable for Peter considering he ratted his friends out

I always thought one of Snape's largest offenses was spilling Lupin's secret. Lupin had been essentially homeless due to the laws, he got his job, and Snape got him fired and helped put him back on the street. There are a lot of people I haven't liked much in life, but I don't think I would work to ruin them professionally and make sure they end up scraping by.

The scene where Remus holds back Harry from Sirius gets me all the time

Sirius when James disarms Snape: “Nice one James!” Sirius when Harry disarms Lucius: “Nice one James!”

"Ay yo, wanna go to the Shrieking Shack?" "No way, it's haunted!" "Oh right, let's go talk to those ghosts at Hogwarts"

Honestly Lupin is one of the most tragic characters ever written. Why? -He had an awful youth as a werewolf and never got what he deserved when he was older -Outlived all of his friends -Never got to see his child My absolute favorite!

I feel so bad for harry. He saw Remus and Sirius and father figures because they were almost the only "family" he had left but then they died. Remus, James, and Sirius didn't deserve to die like that. Its kinda devastating that Sirius's own cousin killed him. I bet Harry and Remus were heartbroken seeing the person they cared for die.

“I would’ve died rather than betrayed my friends” heroic word from a heroic man

I can’t be the only one who ugly cried when Lupin and Sirius died.

their story is honestly so heartbreaking. i would love to see a series of movies about their lives and how it came together

Sirius was the most tragic character from the marauders. Got imprisoned from the crime he didn't commit, no wife and child. I really cried when he died at the 5th book.

So Voldemort can create a replacement hand for Pettigrew but can't even grow a nose for himself

Rowling should write a book on the marauders. james lily,snape. Their school life. It will be just a hit.

I think it’s fascinating that in most depictions of werewolves, they’re shown as only hunting those branded as prey (OG Wolf-Man) or just acting as angry, scared animals. But in HP, or at least Lupin, they have the NEED to bite. Man being a lycanthrope sucks in the wizarding world

everyone here should read all the young dudes, which is basically a fan fiction all about the marauders, from their first year at hogwarts to 1995, told through Remus' eyes. it is absolutely amazing and perfect for people who are intrigued about this era

The maurauders in heaven James: Hey Remus your here! Sirius: we were planing a prank for Merlin James: but we’re missing a fourth person Sirius: yeah wormtail went to hell for betraying everyone Remus: hmm, how about weasley? Fred: ah have no fear! Fred is here Marauders: perfect

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: The year nobody got a haircut Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: The year everybody got a haircut

Interesting to me that, in a very SMALL way, peter saw some type of redemption when Harry told him he spared him from dying. Imo, Peter saw at the very last minute that he didnt have to obey or hide behind someone powerful. That he could have his own choice for once out of bravery. But due to that thought, I believe his new hand that was bestowed upon him by Voldemort was triggered to kill him as he thought of betraying his master by letting harry go. In that small fraction of a second, he thought of how his friends died for each other showing bravery and loyalty, and thought of how harry resembled that type of respect by not killing one another for revenge. Although we all know harry’s real reason was to clear Sirius’ name, Peter mustve known that Harry wanted to kill Peter just as much as anyone else, but spaired him none the less. My final thought, Peter respected Harry for holding such resilience from not killing him or letting Sirius or Lupin kill him back then, and thought to himself for a split second, that Peter could for once do the same and not cower to somebody else’s bidding or revenge by letting one of his old best friend’s son die, thus letting harry go after harry said he didnt let him die, both as a final act of courage for all his years of deceitfulness, and as even respect for Harry spairing his life while no one else would, even knowing Voldemort would eventually dispose of him much like he has with anyone else who failed to serve him properly. Once again, leading to the new hand given by Voldemort to choke Peter out out of weakness/betrayal, ultimately killing once again, one of and the last of the marauders who resisted the Dark Lord.

This story made me appreciate Sirius a lot more. Lupin and him wen through a lot. Seeing their friend betray them and seeing their friends die. And ultimately both of them died. Sirius had nobody except Harry and Lupin.

Lupin is so underrated, he's honestly my fev and the best marauders.

RIP James RIP Sirius RIP Remus Burn in hell Pettigrew

James: The one who died protecting his son and wife Sirius: The one who died protecting his godson and his friends Remus: The one who died protecting the whole world And Peter: The one who died doing nothing good and protecting himself

I love Sirius and Remus. Remus was such an underrated character. Thank you for putting this together. I would love to see this as a stand alone movie

When you realise that lupin lose all his friends.

The Marauders' story is definitely the saddest story of the Harry Potter world. Think about it ; Peter becomes betrayer, James betrayed, sirius is accused of his best friend.'s death and Remus loses all of his friends. Also all four of them die young.

Peter is actually one of my favorite villains in the series. Hearing how he followed the power and betrayed his friends is just really intriguing.

Lupin: **scared that his friends will desert him** James, Peter and Sirius: *Never gonna give you up*

Imagine how Sirius felt when he saw his best friends dead body

Fred and Gerorge seeing Ron sleep with a guy called Peter Pettigrew every night: Seems ✨L e g i t✨

The world saw Harry either of two ways: The dark side saw him as an enemy and the rest saw him as a special tool to defeat the evil but for the three best friends, he was the boy they loved and they did everything in their power do protect him. Even in the last moment. They came from the beyond, to be with him in the moment he faced his fate. It's comforting knowing that even though he lost them all, he was never really alone because they loved him. Like Sirius told him "The ones that love us, never really leave us".

I love the way how sirus twirls his wand while fighting.. he owns his swag of it ❤️❤️❤️ Literally I cried when he died 😭

People saying Voldemort is really ugly and I’m just here like: Have you SEEN Peter Pettigrew???

Padfoot: The map never lies. Pettigrew's alive! And he's right there. *points at Wormtail* Ron: Me?! He's mental! Harry: Ron! How could you?!

This got me bawling like a baby.. James Sirius and Lupin's friendship is that one thing you'll always ever need in your life

Very well done. I see MANY poorly guessed and blithely written fan theorems, attempts at second guessing things already clarified in the books and following material, and equally as many would be junior Rowlings trying to re-write her works in their own images. In this writing, You clearly told a history, and in a manner easily followed, and understood. I appreciate good work. This is good work.

But Sirius's death was the most saddest of all. Harry literally considered sirius as his father, and it was Hard for harry to lose his godfather to whom he cared most about !!

Once you really look into it the story of Harry Potter is so depressing

Having never read the books but fallen in love with the movie, 5:59 gave me chills realizing how special a moment when Harry held Marauders Map. Reading off all pseudonyms of each member.

I also just love how the cycle repeats of the bro code getting broken over and over again. First Lupin, who marries the daughter of Sirius’ cousin. And later on Harry, who marries Ron’s little sister.

"While his body was still wolfish, his mind became less so in the company of his friends". I think this is really spectacular. Think about it, the power of friendship/love broke through Lupin's illness, just like it saved Harry from the killing curse.

Sirius had one of the worst things to happen to someone in the Harry Potter series, he was framed and was sent to prison having everyone think terrible of him and then when so close to being proved innocent, it gets taken and he then later on dies

The ending for Lupin was rather bitter but far more sweeter than he could ever hope for. He is dead but his wife by his side and he will see his parents and best friends again in the afterlife and never lose them again. He will probably see Dumbledore too. Moreover he is no longer a werewolf and neither is his son who apart from being spared from that still has his grandmother and Harry to look after him in a world without Voldemort.

I don't know if you ever go back and look at your comments since you had your videos up for a couple years. But I absolutely love your storytelling. I was such a Harry Potter fan, and because of your informative videos makes me appreciate and love it that much more. The ending was great. Bright and Powerful

IMAGINE HOW INTERESTING IT WOULD BE IF THEY MAKE A MARAUDERS MOVIE/SERIES. the storyline itself is just so interesting, we need a scene where three out of four marauders make the map, how lily and james/arthur and molly/cissy and lucius fell in love, we need the sisters of house black, how lucius bella etc joined the dark side and became a death eater, how sirius was sorted into gryffindor while his whole family bloodline had been slytherins, how snape coped with the bullying, and all other interesting things🥺🥺

I was so mad when J.K. Had killed off Sirius and Remus. I was crying internally the entire day after Sirius. Best boi

The whole Sirius black going to stay with James and his family reminds me a lot like Harry and Ron's family epesioully when Sirius says "your grandparents were really good about it they sort of adopted me as a second son. This was similar again to harry and Ron's family and Ron's family even offered to take him over the summer instead of him going back to Harry's actual family.

“The ones who love us never really leave us, you can always find them… in here” - Sirius Black. The resurrection stone used by Harry showed us that those who die is never truly gone, they live on in our hearts and memories. To the Marauders, to Dumbledore, to Lily Potter, to Alastor Moody, to Severus Snape, to Fred Weasley, to Nymphadora Tonks, and to all of those who had died to shape Harry to who he is in this brilliant story. Even fictional characters will live on in our memories, as we remember this tale to be one of the best.

So it started with Lupin and ended with Lupin

Rest In Peace - James Potter Rest In Peace - Sirius Black Rest In Peace - Remus Lupin Burn In Hell - Peter Pettigrew New: Rest In Peace - Lily Potter Rest In Peace - Nymphidora Tonks Rest In Peace - Fred Weasley Rest In Peace - Alastor Moody Burn In Hell - Lord Voldemort (Tom Marvolo Riddle) Burn In Hell - Bellatrix Lestrange Burn In Hell - 95% of the Death Eaters -------These go to the Headmasters of Hogwarts------- Rest In Peace - Albus Dumbledore Rest In Peace - Severus Snape

Also a sweet moment in Remus' story, is that Harry was the Godfather of his son ❤❤❤

This is one of my favorite groups in the series. I even have my own group based them, called the new marauders. Great job man. 😍

When we all realize that Peter Pettigrew was 38 years old when he died, but looked like a 70 year old man

I would rather watch a marauders movie/series instead of curse child play

It is absolutely incredible how much effort and work it takes to pull off a video like this as eloquently and poignant as you did. Well done, sir.

I've been looking up things for the new Harry Potter themed "Hogwarts Legacy" game and I think it put you in my algorithm. I'm so glad it did. Thank you for doing all the research you do and sharing it with us! I feel much more prepared regarding the Harry Potter universe!

Man, Harry’s gonna have some wild stories to tell his grandkids.

Sirius’ story is pretty sad because he was wrongfully accused of something he didn’t do and even when he almost had a family he died alongside his godson and never had a proper family

OMG, i just found out (and marathon) of your videos about Harry Potter.. cause I MISS HIM SO MUCH and... this video IS EVERYTHING. THANKYOU. THANKYOU. THANKYOU.

This was a beautiful video. I cried during the whole time, you are a great person Morgan. 💜

I’ve always wondered how fred and George found out how to open and close the marauders map

James Potter being only 21 is still mind blowing to me, in the films he looks 40

What I never understood was why Snape ( who at that time was a DE ) never told Dumbledore it was wormtail who sold out James and Lily

I still remember watching his HP Videos back when there was no Covid. I would rewatch the whole series over and over again then watch his videos to understand the whole lore again

Rest in peace Sirius. Rest in peace Lupin. Rest in peace James. Rot in hell Peter. Edit: I never knew that this would get this many likes- Edit 2: THIS. IS. MY. MOST. LIKED.COMMENT.

When you realise James was only 21 when he died

Thank you so much! this makes me understand the marauders more. I wasn't familiar with HP much until I found the marauders, then I found this explanation! Which you made it. And I understand all of this! The story of Hogwarts

James = the brave leader with pride and mischievous tendencies Sirius = the loyal soldier who suffered from lies and anger Remus = the smart and kind outcast Peter = the foolish coward who redeemed himself in the end

*Marauders life spans* James Potter Life span : *21* Sirius Black life span: *37* Peter Pettigrew life span: *38* Remus Lupin life span": *38*

*I would have died rather than betray my friends* :( I cried when Sirius died then cried harder when Lupin died :( The marauders fate was so cruel. My heart aches for them, for their children. Harry and Teddy suffered the same fate :(

I'm starting to binge-watch your harry potter videos! Really learned a lot from it. Thank youuuu

Such immense detail. This series is beautiful..

Sirius: hey, i’m black Harry: are you kidding? Sirius: no, i’m sirius

I still find it heartbreaking because immediately after the Potters died Sirius didn't get to see Harry until he escaped from Azkaban, and the first thing he did was pay Harry a visit in Privet Drive :'(

Amazing work man. This was beautifully made and very insightful.

Thank u for this video, Every time I hear the music It makes me so nostalgic... Their tragic tale is 4 were best friends, 3 were betrayed, 2 had children, a Lover and died too young and one... one was a coward...

“And peter turned into a rat” Me: OH MY GOSHHH THAT FITSSS

Just an interesting observation. The marauders died in reverse order.....moony, wormtail, padfoot and prongs is how they are named on the map.

I would rather see a Marauders series then a reboot of the films, and I would love for it to be animated!

One of the greatest explanation about Harry Potter Thank you so much for this

Sirius is my favorite character throughout the Harry Potter Series. He didn't deserve to die. 😭

Who else thinks they should make a Dedicated movie of the marauders and how hogwarts was in that time period

The nostalgia is too much my Harry Potter obsession used to be so strong, stronger than any I've ever had, and I watched these religiously Hearing the music and your voice just makes me feel so magical again

The marauders map is still one of my favorite details in the harry potter world. Lucas builds stuff actually made a real life one. I wish i was a wizard honestly.

One day there were three students in the hospital wing *James Potter* *Large bruise on his chest* *Reason of Injury: The worlds largest encyclopedia of plants and fungi thrown at his chest* *Lily Evans* *Hurt muscle* *reason of injury: Thrown large object (suspected to be the worlds largest encyclopedia of plants and fungi)* *Sirius Black* *Complaint of Busted gut* *Reason of injury: laughing*

When you realize Snape is maybe one of the youngest headmaster's at hogwarts 😮😮

Sirius is NOT A BAD GUY!

We seriously need a Marauders movie series right now!

Crookshanks was a hero for giving the passwords to Sirius and for repeatedly trying to kill Pettigrew

"I didn't mean to..what would you have done?!" "I WOULD HAVE DIED! I WOULD HAVE DIED RATHER THAN BETRAY MY FRIENDS!"

Imagine if the storyline went like this: Peter, Sirius, James and Remus lived and remained their friendship until the end of the series. Imagine if Peter didn’t betrayed and abandoned Gryffindor, Sirius wasn’t sent to Azkaban for life imprisonment while James (and Lily) didn’t die too early. I guess these 4 would rock at Hogwarts like an amazing boy band. I mean, look at them😅

this is probably the best harry potter video you have ever made

I'd rather have watched a movie about this than Fantastic Beasts

It's so sad, Sirius's last words were: "Nice One, James" this really shows how much that Harry and that's a good thing. Harry is like his father and Sirius saw that I cry every time I watch Sirius die.

In the movies they didn’t even explain who who Mooney, Padfoot, Wormtail, and Prongs were. Not until Harry used the name Padfoot to Snape did I even realize Harry knew who they each were. Even though Lupin clearly knew about the map I didn’t realize he was Mooney( Yeah I didn’t read the books in case you didn’t know). I’m just saying they should’ve dropped that bit of information in there somewhere.

Thanks for uploading this video.
