There's also 3 main wand core that Ollivander use in his wand that he sells and all 3 of it (dragon heartstring, unicorn hair, phoenix feather) is the core of the wands of golden trio, and also there's 3 magical blood (that can do magic) pure blood, half blood, and muggleborn. This 3 blood is also the blood of the golden trio. (Sorry for my grammar)

There is also the Granger and Crouch family. Harry had 3 father figures in Hagrid, Sirius and Dumbledore. Harry also had 3 wands that were loyal to him his own, Draco’s and the elder wand.

During his years at Hogwarts, the Dursleys give Harry three Christmas gifts: a sixpence, a toothpick and a tissue. There is a theory that theese three items refect the Resurrection Stone, the Elder Wand and the Invisibility Cloak.

I think it counts that three mother's save Harry's life from Voldemort. His own mother because the power of love, his aunt Petunia because she shares her sister's blood thus having a protection spell until his 17th year, and Draco Malfoy's mom who lie to Voldemort after finding out her son was still alive.

1) Ted Tonks, Dean Thomas and Gornuk - tried to escape Voldemort and the ministry as a trio. 2) Voldemort 's original name was Tom Marvolo Riddle (three word name) 3) Harry's Children also had three word names : James Sirius Potter, Albus Severus Potter, Lilly Luna Potter. 4) Dumbledore was offered the position of Minister of magic 3 times, refusing it everytime. (It is a reference to Julius Caesar refusing the crown three times as mentioned in Mark Antony's speech after the assassination of Caesar). 5) Ron, Fred and George were the 3 people who came to rescue Harry from the Dursleys in the beginning of Chamber of Secrets.

More trios that other people have commented: 1. Ollivanderʼs three wand cores - phoenix feather, Unicorn hair, dragon heartstring 2. Blood types - Pureblood, Half-blood, Muggle-born 3. The Lupins 1.0 - Remus, Lyall and Hope, and the Lupins 2.0 - Teddy, Remus and Nymphodora 4. The Grangers - Hermione and her Muggle parents 5. The Prewett siblings - Molly, Fabian and Gideon Other things that Iʼve noticed: 6. The Lockhart siblings - Gilderoy and his two Squib sisters 7. The three people Voldemort kills to get to the Elder Wand - Mykew Gregorovitch, Gellert Grildewald and Severus Snape 8. The times Harry misses the Sorting - Book 2, Book 3 and Book 6 9. The three locations Voldemort visits to determine if his horcuxes had been stolen - the bank, the cave and Hogwarts 10. Each character who smells Amortentia in Book 6 names three things they can smell 11. Bill and Fleurʼs children - Victoire, Louis and Dominique

Wow, never thought about this, but the fact that the number three is common throughout Harry Potter is honestly amazing.

I love how you work so hard just to make us smile 😊

- Bill & Fleur had 3 kids (Victoire, Dominic & Louis - Remus, Tonks & Teddy is a family of tree - 3 out of the 4 marauders are related leaving 1 out (James & Sirius are related someway & Remus became their relative when he married tonks) - There are 3 known Bloodlines which is PureBlood, Half-Blood, & Muggle Born - Harry won 3 times in a row in quidditch - Ruby Trio(? Idk what others called it) this trio was another group that draco was apart of but instead of Crabbe & Goyle they were switched with Pansy & Blaise

3 head masters from the current hogwarts staff, dumbledore, mcgonagall and snape. They are the legend trio as well. 3 snakes harry spoke to, the one in the zoo, the one in dueling club and nagini as bathilda bagshot 3 horcruxes harry destroyed, the diary, diadem and himself 3 slytherins who regretted joining/helping voldemort/ changed sides, snape, slughorn and RAB

''Name a better trio, i'll wait'' *Movieflame:*

Morgan has taught me so much about Harry Potter you are a legend

The Black Sister trio is my favourite trio They’re so different, and because of that, they’re similar🖤🖤🖤

From my 8yo: Ron has affections for three different girls during the franchise: Lavender, Romilda, Hermione

I think this all connects with in real life religions and in mythology. Like in Greek mythology, there’s three brothers, Zeus, Poseidon, an Hades. Like the brothers, there’s three sisters. Three realms, the heavens, earth, and the underworld. And how the Trojan war began was Paris choosing one of three goddesses who was the most beautiful. Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. So the number 3 shows up a lot in mythology and in religion.

fun fact: the 3rd word on the 3rd chapter of the 3rd harry potter book is "several", which have 3 syllables

Number 3 is even powerful in general pop culture muggle world

As my Biology teacher says, all good things come in 3's

Amazing how often you found the number 3. Normally I think of the number 7 in Harry Potter, so I never realized how often the 3 appears. However I can think of five more examples: 1. There are three Grangers 2. When Harry first meets Ron he says he wished to have three wizard brothers 3. Three of the four Hogwarts relicts were turned into horcruxes 4. When Hagrid showed his class some Thestrals there were three students that could see them (Harry, Luna and Neville) 5. The Knight Bus is a Tripple Decker

Surprised you didn't mention Molly and her two brothers.

In the fourth book, you have to solve THREE mini riddles to solve for the sphinx to get the big picture.

I agree that the punishement Dumbledore's father got is harsh IF you know why he attacked the boys. But he never revealed why he killed them because he didn't want Ariana to be locked up. So his accusers probably assumed he did it simply because he hated muggles. Considering this the punishment makes sense.

There's also a couple in the final battle: Ernie McMillan, Luna Lovegood, and Seamus Finnigan all cast Patronuses to ward off dementors who are swarming the golden trio; Slughorn, McGonagall, and Kingsley Shacklebolt are all fighting Voldemort before Harry arrives; before Molly going up to fight (and kill) Bellatrix she was duelling Luna, Ginny, and Hermione. Oh, and another one, is that there were three Gryffidor girls in Harry's year, Lavender, Parvati, and Hermione, though the friend group was Lavender, Parvati, and Padma. And one more, there are three different balls in quidditch: a quaffle, bludgers, and a golden snitch

always gotta click immediately when movie morgan uploads am i right corn gang edit: thanks for hearting man long time big fan edit 2: NO IT WENT AWAY

And in the triwizard tournament, cedric died so it made it into a trio.

You know the term “Third time’s the charm,” right?

i love how the video about the number 3 in hp is longer than the video of the number 7

This is so cool!! I had never imagined thanks for letting us know !!

I only watched Harry Potter movies and have only few knowledge about Books 1. Chamber of secrets was opened by 3 people other then Slytherins - Ginny, Harry & Ron 2.out of 7 Horcrux - 3 Horcrux was destroyed by Sword of Gryffindor (Voldemort' Ring, Slytherin's Locket and Nagini ) & 3 Horcrux was destroyed by Basilisk Venomous fang ( Tom Riddle's diary, Hufflepuff Cup and Ravenclaw diadem) 3. 3 person killed in 4th book. Old man in cemetery, Barty crouch senior and Cedric digary 4. Harry uses spell 3 times outside of Hogwarts when he was in underage 5. Harry raides 3 different flying creatures Buckpeak, Dragon in Gringgards and Thestrals 6. Harry went Ministry of magic 3 times 7. 3 House elfs Dobby, Kreacher and Winky

The number 3 feels like the number that isn't too little or too much, it's just right. Also the same could probably apply to the number 5.

A lot of those comes from the families that either have 1 or 3 kids because you can make a trio out of it.

Great video. I think it should also be noted that the rule of 3 is a very common writing technique which can be conscious and unconscious. Seven is an extension of the rule of 3 as 6 is an even number and so in writing is uncomfortable as there is no northern point. e.g. if a scene has 6 people, there is no central character whereas in a 3, 5 or 7 the main character is flanked by equal numbers on each side.

Great video Morgan! I have 3 more examples for things you have forgotten: 1.By the time of the 3rd book there are 3 marauders alive (I love the reunion scene in both the book and the movie). 2.Remus is an only child, so he and his parents were another trio. 3.Speaking of Remus he married Nymphadora Tonks and had Teddy, so for a short while they were 3 as well.

The numbers 3 and 7 being significant also found in LOTR may be borrowed from consciously or subconsciously. 3 Hallows - 3 Silmaril, 7 Horcruxes - 7 Dwarven Rings.

The Power of Three, as used by the Charmed Ones witches from Charmed TV series.

There are three animals lurking around the castle in POA:, Crookshanks, Scabbers, and Padfoot.

A couple from the HP Wiki: Fluffy, the three-headed dog, guarded the passage to the sorcerer's stone in the 3rd floor corridor: Harry was 1 yr and 3 months old when Voldemort murdered his parents And having recently seen the films, there are a handful I can recall (not sure if it lines up with the books): in the dungeon in Malfoy Manor, there are 3 "people" locked up when Harry and Ron are thrown in: Ollivander, Griphook, and Luna; protection charms are used in groups of 3, both when the golden trio use them in the wilderness (Protego Maxima, Salvio Hexia, and Repellum Mugglum (sp?) and when the professors use them to protect Hogwarts before the battle (Protego Maxima + 2 others I can't remember the name of).

True you can't blame Albus's father, but remember how the Ministry reacts to anyone endangering the Statute of Secrecy. It was endangering the statute, not the assault on the boys that gained him the harsh punishment.

In all fairness, 3 and 7 show up in a lot of places across mythology and fiction in general. Anyways, a few more 3s: Hogwarts is divided into 3 of what I believe would be called forms in Muggle British schooling: Beginner: Years 1-2, everyone takes te 7 core classes. Middle: Years 3-5: Everyone continues taking the core classes and adds 2-3 electives. Concludes with the OWL exams. Advanced: Years 6-7: Students can drop core classes if they want to and may drop their electives. Concludes with the NEWT exams. Also, Harry had 3 Good DADA teachers(LUpin, Fake Moody, and Snape) and 3 bad DADA instructors(Quirrel, Lockhart, and Umbitch) Dumbledore had three middle names and held three positions of authority. three of the Horcruxes where destroyed with Gryffindor's sword(The Locket, the Ring, and Nagini). Three of the Book titles reference powerful magical artifacts(Philosopher's Stone, Goblet of Fire, and Deathly Hallows). There are three main classes of offensive spell: Jinx, Hex, and Curse. More Trios: Three Weasley brothers Harry was close to(Ron, Fred, and George), 3 Weasley Brothers he had looser ties too(Bill, Charlie, and Percy), 3 Prewett Siblings(Molly, Fabeian and Giddeon), 3 significant Half-Bloods with miserable childhoods(Harry, Tom, and Snape), 3 Gryffindor Girls in Harry's year that are mentioned regularly(Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati). There are 3 types of coin used by Wizards: Knuts, Sickles, and Galleons. Harry has had 3 adventures involving Dragons: Norberta, THe First Task, and the Gringotts Heist. Each Hogwarts house has 3 prefects of each sex at any given time. There are 3 standard pets allowed at Hogwarts: Owls, Toads, and Cats. Three of the Heads of House during Harry's time at Hogwarts have Alliterative names. And while another commenter mentioned a few characters with 3-part names, I don't think that really counts since 3-part names are the norm in the English speaking world... Though, Harry Potter is rather unusual in just how many of its characters have known middle names when so many other works of fiction will only give use a afirst and last name for characters who can, by naming norms of the real world culture the setting is embedded within, be assumed to have middle names... and with how some works don't even give us character's last names or give us last names but then leave characters' parents unnamed or similar.

unpopular opinion but harry potter is my favourite harry potter character

Fun fact: the numbers three and seven were both used a lot in fairytales like snowwhite and the seven dwarfs and how there’s three Cinderella movies

Let's not forget 3 railway engines who were the first on Topham's railway, Edward, Gordon and Henry.

It's always a good day when Morgan posts a video.

I remember well about the number 3 being a Magic Number and it actually makes sense for that number to be used a lot all throughout the series.

Early potterheads! where are you?

I guess I've always noticed the '7' thing but this is new! :))

this is like a throwback to the number 7 video

A few more: -Tonks’ family: Tonks, Remus, and Teddy -Snape asks Harry 3 questions about potions on his first day.

This was a video I wasn’t expecting but it sure is a good one

Really nice! There are three pubs : the leaky cauldron, the three broomsticks and the hog’s head

Do this PJO / HOO video: What The Characters’ Bogarts Are Ex: Here’s the ones we know Percy- Alecto Grover- Polyphemus & Tyson Annabeth- Arachne Sally Jackson- Gabe Luke- May Castellan Clarisse- Ares Tyson- Sphinx Thalia- The Sun Chariot Nico- Cupid Zoe- Atlas Chris Rodriguez & Daedalus- King Minos Silena -Beckendorf hurt The Gods- Typhon Jason- Losing his memory again Leo- Hera (Tia Callida) Piper- Jason & Leo dead Frank- Thanatos Hazel- Gaia Reyna- The Ramirez Arellano Ancestors Hylla- Julian Ramirez-Arellano Bogarts We Don’t Know But Make Sense: Bianca- Kronos Octavian- Percy Meg- The Emperor Trio Magnus- The Fire Giant

i dont think the number three is that significant. I'd bet in almost any book or movie series there would be plenty of instances of things happening three times, or groups of three. Three is just a good number because each member balances the other out. 2 is too few, and 4 is too many.

You released the number 7 video *3* years ago! Funny!

In the statue scene' piertotum locomotor' you can see three statues land on the ground in a triangular shape. Even the status are a lot, but in the particular clip there was three.

You have to tap your wand 3 times on the statue of the one eyed witch & say Dissendium

Ollivanders only uses 3 different wand cores

The big question is; how does wizard families keep being a thing when they only get one child per family :D

There were 3 of them cats that were guarding the French library, that muktiplied and got aggressive when attacked...

"Why is it when something happens, it is always you three?"

I quickly wanted to point out that the number 4 also appears quite a bit. (the 4 houses, alongside their founders, relics, etc. The Marauders and in Legacy: the 4 Keepers (and trials) and the wand movement of the Imperius Curse)

There were McGonagall, Kingsley, and Slughorn who fought against Voldemort during the battle of Hogwarts. Hermione, Ginny, and Luna fought against Bellatrix.

Fun fact: Minerva (roman myths) is actually Athena in the greek myths and Mcgonagall is named after Minerva so she’s named after the war AND wisdom goddess

I think the use of three is a reference to the Greek Goddess Hecate. She was the goddess of the moon and magic. She's also known as the triple goddess with three parts. Maiden, Mother, Crone. It could also be a tribute to the Three Fates of Greek mythology and the three Norns of Nordic mythology.

Now if you could find a way to explain the obsession with socks and the color purple in the books that would be great. I did a search and socks are named something like 40 times in the books. It may not be that high but it’s high. And she uses purple to describe many thing. Or shades of it like lilac or lavender. It is very prevalent and more so than one of the two colors wizards usually wear in public. Check it out I checked socks are mentioned 76 times thru the 7 books. That’s more than 10 times per book on average!

The Granger Family (Hermione and her parents.)

Harry Potter and the prizoner of Azkaban, book 3, was the only book where Voldemort wasn't present.

When there were 4 tri-wizard champions, one died leaving 3 that lived the rest of the series.

Brilliant video, really enjoyed it, I live all the research you clearly put into your videos. I watch abs read these myself countless times but I couldn't videos like this x

Things in 3 in Harry Potter *Deathly Hallows:* Elder Wand, Resurrection Stone, & Cloak of Invisibility *Pets:* Headwig, Crookshanks & Scabbers *Horcruxes found before the hunt:* Tom Riddle's Diary, Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, & Salazar Slytherin's Locket *Weasley-Johnson Love Triangle:* Fred Weasley, George Weasley & Angelina Johnson

Every student at Hogwarts can choose between three different animals/pets to bring to school

Three Trials of the Triwizard Tournament, three triwizard champions, three of the champions that are uncorrupted in the 4th book, and three types of wizard currency. By the way, that’s a sick Phillies outfit dude!

Because the number 3 is so ingrained in Christian iconography ( father , son, Holy Ghost) it is why used so much in English literature. Jk intentional tried to avoid it but it is very hard as it is the default grouping un·con·sciously

Hey, Morgan! I have a video idea that I though would be cool. You should compare the charachters in the book to their movie counterparts. For example, in the books Harry has green eyes but Daniel Radcliffe has blue eyes in the movies. Just though this would be a cool video idea and I would love to see it. Keep up the good work!

Here's another interesting one: by the end of the story, Harry has had ownership of 3 different wands. So has Voldemort for that matter

There's also the granger family and if you didnt know the trio consisting of dumbledore, snape, and mcgonagall is called the legendary trio

3 defence against the dark arts teachers were death eaters. Snape Barty crouch Jr and Carroll

When you take your teacher’s promotion of the rule of three too far

Fudge was the third choice for minister for magic right behind Dumbledore and Barty Crouch.

Hey morgan could you do number 50 or 20 because i seen them pop up a lot And also cool video,made me go to my harry potter books to mark anywhere i saw 3😊

Ofcourse there are many of 3s. It's one of the faritails number. Besides 7, no.3 is the most common. Good job of numbering the n.3s.

MovieFlame, With this much knowledge about HP and the fact that you have read the books 100s of time and watched the movies and analysed every second of them, could you reach to WB and help them in the HP TV series, probably impossible but worth a try?

The number three is surprisingly common in writing

after you saying how much you hate the cursed child i’m like” OOoOoOoOoO I HAVE to read this” I hated it

Ur my favourite youtube and i just wanted you to see this 😀

dumbledore, mcgonagall, snape.

In the 3rd book, 3 3rd years met 3 marauders

Hermione and her parents Umbridge, Harry, and Hermione going into the Forbidden Forest to find "Dumbledore's secret weapon" Harry, Malfoy, and Fang in the Forbidden Forest looking for the beast in The Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone Harry, Ron, and Fang in the Forbidden Forest following the spiders in The Chamber of Secrets Lockhart, Harry, and Ron entering the Chamber of Secrets Ginny, Harry, and Fawkes left standing in the Chamber of Secrets after the big fight McGonagall, Slughorn, and Kingsley battling Voldemort together before Harry and Voldemort fight for the last time

The lovegoods were a family of three, as were the Lupins,Tonks’s and probably a few others. Never truly realised the importance of three. Great video Morgan :) Edit: technically after dumbledores death Snape knew about the horcurxes but after his death there was only three

There is also the lupin family. Remus, Nymphadora, and teddy

Four triwizard champions (Krum, Fleur, Cedric, Harry), then one of them died.

3 great half blood wizards: voldemort Snape and Harry, from 3 different generations

Harry successfully fights off dementors 3 times (one of them being the bogus)

Don't forget Three Lions which is a nickname of England's national soccer team as Harry also lives in England.

Clame you with in 20m award here

Lupin and his parents were 3 as for Granger! Amazing video thank you

The 3 deathly hallows + the four founders possessions will be 7 relics so this could be put in your previous video

6:49 I was gonna say the three names for elder wand the deathstick, wand of destiny and elder wand

Now I'm sad because they canceled "Fantastic Beasts" I like those movies.

That was the prologue. Now is Chapter 1 Lucy is having a dream about Sunshine City. It is a bright and sunny day until it starts to snows and freeze. The army does all they can but get overwhelmed by snowy monsters and snowmen and get frozen themselves. She is fleeing the city in a carriage being followed by a mysterious figure. The soldiers try to hold her off but the the figure is to fast and dodges all their sword strikes. She freezes them and tortures them before catching up with the carriage. She covers herself in a blizzard freezing everything in her path and reaches the end of the city. Queen Victoria shoots thorns,flowers,flytraps,daisies and roses but the mysterious figure dodges all her attacks and gets stronger and stronger and grows bigger and bigger. Queen Victoria gets weakened and magic starts to leave her body and her hair turns grey. She try’s to fight the figure but she dodges all her plants or slices them in half until she swings one at the carriage. It flys so hard into the sky and Queen Victoria fell out land only got saved by landing in a nearby river. She gets up soaking wet.and continues fighting the figure. She laughs and laughs as she grows bigger and bigger and stronger and stronger, Victoria grows weaker and she is knocked down to the ground again and again. She is now severely wounded. Blood is dripping everywhere and nearly every bone in her body is broken but continues to fight against her pain? But the figure is to fast and strong. She just taunts her and mange’s told fight her with her bare hands barely using any of her powers. She disarms the young queen of her wand and creates an explosion. She withstands the hit without a scratch but Victoria is severely wounded and weakened. She cant fight anymore and the figure pins her to the ground. She begs her for mercy but the figure just laughs and calls her a weakling. She throws icicles at her heart and the blizzard which grows as the figure gets stronger explodes and covers the entire countryside. She has laughed so much that there canyons and cracks everywhere and all trees have been knocked down. Lucy wakes up in bed,screaming,sweating and crying. Her mother knocks on the door but Lucy can’t hear her until she comes into the room. She tells her mother about her dream but she says it is just because she is worried about her grandmother as she hasn’t seen her in a year since Beach Day and leaves. She gets dressed but feels a very very cold breeze and feels like someone is watching her. She sees a shadow and runs to a window but does not see anything. She goes to eat breakfast but her siblings are not at the table. They come down very tired. Lucy asks what’s wrong and her mom says it is because they had the same dream as her. She gets worried that it is just not a coincidence worrying her siblings,Nicky,Peter,and Rose. Her mom assures her that it was just because of their worries. They board the bus after they finish breakfast.
