I would say Gryffindor is no.1 despite not dabbling in the dark arts the sword of Gryffindor has the power to kill a Basilisk & destroy horxrux and duelling with swords as opposed to Wands shows the immense strength & humility of Gryffindor
I probably would agree with your ranking mostly because of the information we know about the founders. I would also add that Helga Hufflepuff is probably more powerful than we know. Just because she was nice and more accepting of others and less interested in dueling etc doesn’t mean she was weaker. But I would so love to see JK Rowling write a book about the founders and or a tv series. It would be so good 😊 Also proud Gryffindor here 🦁
i agree about the dueling part, just because you pick a fight doesnt make you strong/powerful and no, no more books from jk. have someone else write it
Gryffindor: I'll choose Lion to represent bravery. Slytherin: I'll use snake to represent parseltongue. Hufflepuff: I'll use badger to represent friendship. Ravenclaw: I'll use eagle to confuse the readers thinking it's a raven. Others: Why didn't we think of that? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard.
@@maksimilian528 No that Is actually not true. I don’t know about gryffindor, but it’s called raven claw because raven means black, which makes black claw and eagles are known for their black claws. Raven claw “appreciates” (I don’t remember the correct word) knowledge and wisdom, so that’s why
I think the reason why the four founders of Hogwarts were at the pinnacle of magical power in their own time and perhaps even unrivaled in the modern era was because back then life was harder. For one thing a millennia ago we did not have the same kinds of modern comforts and conveniences that most wizards in the modern era have access to, meaning back then wizards would of had to rely on magic more frequently and this could have made them more skilled by comparison. Also before the time of Hogwarts, there was no governing body for wizard-kind, no Ministry of Magic, no Auroras, no united polity or culture. Therefore witches and wizards had to be much more self reliant and may have often had to fight for their own survival as back in the 10th century witch hunts and persecutions of magical practitioners by muggles was commonplace. Not to mention the disunity of the wizarding community and no formal legal foundation back then meant wizards living in that era had to defend themselves, not just against radical muggles but also against their fellow wizards.
Nah, I doubt they were stronger than powerful modern wizards/witches like Dumbledore, Grindelwald, Voldemort, etc. since they had fewer spells available to pick from. And some of the really useful potions and even stuff like Arithmancy etc. were developed after the time of the founders. My guess is that the founders were simply members of families with the largest library at that time and that they decided to share their knowledge instead of hearing it and only teaching it to family members. The reason for Hogwarts was most likely to help magical people with lacking materials like books, tomes, and so on to get a magical education so they can defend themselves against muggles, etc.
Slytherin was the most powerful, because accepted and embraced the entire magical spectrum, so he delved deeply into the dark arts. This gave him a great edge over his three friends, and, eventually, rivals. Also, beyond his magical abilities he was adept at using cunning, subterfuge and guile, as shown with his creation of the Chamber of Secrets.
How do we break down "Most Powerful"? Does it come down to Strength, Cunningness or Conviction? As magic can be more powerful or stronger based on conviction and love. I feel that Helga because of her modest and willingness to teach anyone and fairness, would bring her above the others when willingness to protect and teach. So her conviction to me puts her to rival Godrick. I feel versatility would give Rowena the edge. I feel that Salazar would push beyond anyone in the wanting of keeping his children safe (students included) and this willingness to plunge into darker arts to be greater force. I do feel that Godrick would actually be the least of them in skill or talent but would the "Tank" willing to take a punch for any of his friends and from his love would be among the top. So to me the "top" would be Helga, tied for second Sala-boi and Godrick, then Rowena. Yet they all work in a function of clockwork, each playing on each other's strength and covering their weaknesses.
I agree. Helga strikes me as being similar to Harry - not the most powerful or skilled in anything (except magical protection and quidditch) but because of how they treat people they can call on house elves and phoenixes and other, more talented wizards. Also: love is the most powerful force in the HP world, and Helga showed the greatest capacity for love. If the chips are down then, like Molly Vs Bellatrix, I'd back Helga ftw.
Imo, Helga is the last, while one of Salazar or Godric would be the best.. Rowena either 2 or 3.. Helga might have been a very powerful witch obviously but she was mostly famous for her food spells and Rowena was renowned as a very skilled witch in magic and charms and she was known as the most powerful witch of her time.. Due to this, I'd place Rowena above Helga and probably alongside the weaker of Salazar or Godric
@Apollyon Firstly; Thank you for thinking that I belong with the badgers :D Secondly; I was sorted into Slytherin each time I took the quiz. Haha. Thirdly; "Powerful" is a complex word and in each context the idea of it changes, along with the philosophy there in. It takes a powerful witch / wizard in the times where their kind is being hunted / killed, to stand up and accept both pure, half and muggle-borns into their home and believe that they are all worthy of learning, as long as they work hard. You can have your theory, as I can have mine, but there is too little info to decide who was outright more powerful without Rowling being the deciding force. And "Having no standards..." She did have standards, and out of all the Hogwarts houses, had it clearly stated. "those patient Hufflepuffs are true and unafraid of toil" and "For Hufflepuff, hard workers were most worthy of admission". She had a standard where hardwork will make one worthy and with the traits of Loyalty and Justness. So, before you make a claim about having no standards, make sure you know what you're talking about :D Just makes ya look a wee bit daft, if you don't.
@@greyLeicester I agree! That's why I said "How do we break down "Most Powerful"?". It is a complex word / phrase, with different contextual meanings. :D Which makes this riddle so brain wracking and with so many possibilities! :D
In the Order of the Phoenix, the sorting hat mentions "What with dueling and with fighting , and the clash of friend on friend". This always makes me think that Slytherin was up against the three other founders in a duel at some point, so could Slytherin almost 1v3 the other founders?
As to magical strength, "History of Quidditch" book States that wizards aren't able to apparate as far as they seemingly used to. Perhaps dilution of blood, even in "pureblood" families (which Dumbledore argued that it's impossible that any family doesn't have at least some half bloods in their history somewhere) has degraded overall strength through the centuries?
I believe Helga Hufflepuff was more powerful coz she single handedly consolidated the resources and manpower to build Hogwarts. She relied on diplomacy (persuasion) and not always a show of force and power like her Godric and Salazar. Helga was the least judgmental believing that all wizards no matter their background had something to offer the world. Helga would protect many magical beings from mistreatment like house elves by providing them a safe place to work and call home in Hogwarts. The extensive Hogwarts grounds including the Black Forest and black lake became home to many magical beings and creatures because she vouched for them. It doesn’t come as a surprise that Hogsmede the only wizard community in the British isles was founded by Hengist a former Hufflepuff student taught personally by Helga. Helga’s most impressive ability was the consideration of the magical universe as a whole not just wizard centric compared to her peers. Her egalitarian approach ensured the survival of all magic not just wizards that’s why Hogwarts is home to wizards, numerous magical creatures and beings.
Helga she gives off a soccer mom vibe so she's packin love magic we don't know about. That's like every soccer mom; you don't really know what she's bringing to the game until the end. Helga #1 she'll transfigure Voldemort into a Capri-sun in a fkn heartbeat. We need more story on this woman.
I believe Helga was beyond powerful and top 1 by far. Only real power and strength translate into kindness. I neither have evidence nor doubts about it.
Rowena is my top because she came up with almost all the ideas for Hogwarts. She is exceptionally talented, clever, smart, wise, witty, creative, and over all, well rounded.
I am a Slytherin but out of the 3 other houses and founders Rowena and her house are the best.When i become headmaster i will make sure Hufflepuffs and mudbloods are treated terribly,Gryffindors,half bloods,and non Slytherin or Ravenclaw pure bloods are treated ok,and Slytherin and Ravenclaw pure bloods own the school
@gaminglegends4695 Those people are called white supremacists and racistss when the book's analogies are taken into account in real life. You'd be treated the same way they are ... i.e laughed at and considered naive and ignorant for basing your opinions on blood purity.
So I happened to open youtube and saw this video alert for 18 minutes ago. I then noticed that 6 people posted 18 minutes ago. That shows how loved and anticipated these videos are for there are people perched like owls waiting for the next "Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory" so they can swoop in and watch. I think that says a lot for the channel.
i bet Hufflepuff was the most powerful.....see....those who are not the best, but desire to be the best make the loudest noise about it....Slytherine was loud about only teaching the most powerful....he had to prove to everyone that he was the best or would become the best.....Gryffindor was bold and only wanted to teach the brave....again loud.....Ravenclaw was loud about only teaching the intelligent....Hufflepuff would teach everyone because she was the most powerful....she knew it and didn't care to prove it, she didn't have to..
Lol😂😂, that is like saying the bottom ranking student is actually the most intelligent because he doesn't care for stuff like hierarchical ranking and that the top ranked students are just vain glory hunters Reality is much more simple. Bottom ranked students are less talented and more easily distracted whereas top ranked students are more talented and focused. Similarly just because Helga Hufflepuff was not 'loud' doesn't mean she was the best.
Dude at around 6:20 u mentioned that he fought most of the time with his sword right? However in the fandom page it does say that he was skilled in martial magic too and the best duellist using both sword and magic alike
This is an argument I’ve had a few times, but I maintain that Rowena Ravenclaw was more powerful than Goodrich Gryffindor. I agree that her skills weren’t focused on duels or anything, but that isn’t the measure of power. I think the influence she had on Hogwarts as a building, her diadem, her intelligence, and the like make up for how weak she might be in a duel. That’s just my opinion. I agree with the rest.
I wonder if Salazar was from Ireland? Since Godric was born in England, Rowena from Scotland and Helga from Wales then it would only be fitting for Salazar to have hailed from Ireland. That way all four founders of Hogwarts would each represent a different country in Great Britain.
The Gaunts lived in Ireland for some time as seen in the Ilvermorny story and eventually also bred with descendents of Morgana le Fay who was also Irish. Given how proud they were of their heritage it's possible that they wanted to get back to their roots. Also the founder colours seem to reflect the stereotypical colour of their country and green is usually significant of Ireland
@@atrumluminarium "the founder colours seem to reflect the stereotypical colour of their country and green is usually significant of Ireland" That's so true. Excluding Hufflepuff, the other three founders seem to have incorporated the primary color of where they were from into the colors of their own house. Ravenclaw is blue just like Scotland (though a lighter shade of blue), Slytherin is green which represents Ireland and of course Gryffindore is red and gold, and their mascot is a lion, which is the same as the royal arms of England.
He was most likely from the Fens in eastern England, they are often referred to as Fen/Fenland/Fens, what would have been The Kingdom of East Anglia, and Ireland is not in 'Great Britain btw. I like to think after his exile from Hogwarts he moved to Ireland this is why the Gaunts had descendants and branches both in Ireland and England.
I mean, each of the 4 has their own strengths and weaknesses, so I think that ranking them by power would be difficult. Im just gonna assume that they are each as powerful as the other, but for different reasons.
Since "dark" magic just refers to the nature of it and not necessarily the power behind it, I don't think it should even be considered. After all, Voldemort is obviously the darkest of the dark and he feared Dumbledore. If being willing to use "dark" magic made you more powerful, Voldemort's side would have absolutely destroyed any opposition, just because they were "dark".
I don't what is the matter with you all but the book clearly shows that if Dumbledore and voldemort were alone voldemort would have killed dumbledore if it wasn't for fawkes, in fact all 3 of Dumbledore's offensive spells were repelled by voldemort. Now of course you may be saying dumbledore is like more than twice his age but does that really change anything significantly?? The dark arts is much, much more powerful than random normal magic, take several example other than the 3 unforgivable curses. Sectumsempra is one of the most deadly spells. Feindfyre destroys everything, protego diabolica turns your enemy to ash.
@@lightuponlight3491 , it isn't the spell itself that is powerful, though. As Barty Crouch Jr (disguised as Moody) said, the students could cast Avada Kedavra at him (considered the absolute darkest spell in the wizarding world) and he would barely get a nosebleed. It's about the power of the wizard casting the spell, not the spell itself. How many times did Harry's ragtag group of student wizards fend off adult Death Eaters? Clearly, their dark magic wasn't inherently stronger. Yes, those dark spells you mentioned have more severe effects than "random normal magic", but that is not the same as power.
@@SgtSupaman First he did say that you need a bit of powerful magic behind it, but the important thing is malicious intent and while that is true, it doesn't deny it is unblockable, deadly, un-reversable and really dangerous, other than it could get a duel over within seconds , he said he would not get a nosebleed because these people are not sadistic or "don't care for the life they will extinguish". They simply do. And saying the spell is not strong is really wrong or dark arts is weak is kinda ignorant even dumbledore said it is really hard to combat the dark arts. As for the death eaters harry and the others fended off, you can't compare the young, physically fit youths to people who spent at least 10 years in azkaban, and even having said that, harry was not able to fend off dolohov alone, and he and Sirius crushed him. Mcgonagall resisted 4-5 stupefies and to get her really out of any other battle you should increase that to 10. while 1 killing curse and mcgonagall is dead.
Godric is Zeus Salazar is Hades Rowena is Athena Helga is Demeter Harry is Hercules Dumbledore is Hermes Voldemort is Zagreus Melinoe/Hades Minerva Mcgonagall is Pallas Athene Merope Gaunt is Pleiad Ron is Poseidon
1.Slytherin (Cuz he literally took on all the others) (Yes they probably didn’t want it to come to death but STILL) 2. Ravenclaw (Cuz she studied all magic almost her hole life) 3.Griffindoor (Cuz like said in the vid he was quite good) (Or so they say) 4. Hufflepuff (She was still very talented,she could hold her own with the ,other enough said I think) (Sorry hufflepuffs)
I would probably have put Helga on top because love is the most powerful magic. Your ranking suggests that knowledge of the dark arts and broader knowledge of magic in general makes Slytherin the most powerful. But Lily defeated Voldemort. So too would Helga beat Slytherin when push comes to shove. I get why you wouldn’t want to rank them this way though for a video. “Most loving wizard” is not great click bait 😬
In my opinion Salazar is the strongest,smartest and most creative among the founders of Hogwarts. 1)He mastered occlumency,dark arts,teleportation and parsel language. 2)Salazar built the chamber of secrets so the other three founders couldn't find it. 3)He raised and tamed as a pet creature more insidious even than a dementor. 4)He invented the first magic wands. 5)Salazar maybe also invented flying powder because in the movie"Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets" when Harry and family Weasley teleported with the powder to Diagon Alley the flame in the fairplace was green color.
power is often comparable to the need of power. the founders lived during a time when they were hunted and had to fight for their life. modern wizards biggest problem is typically to clean their house
there was supposedly a duel between Gryffindor and Slytherin. Since Slytherin left the school you could assume that Gryffindor won the duel which would make him stronger. Also it is said that if you're any wizard at all you can channel your magic through any object so perhaps Gryffindor used his sword as a wand. If so then that shows extreme power.
It wasn't a duel, It was an argument between the 4 founders. Most people think Slytherin didn't agree with what they wanted (probably to open the school to all wizards, not just pure-bloods) so he left the school and never came back.
My ranking would be the following 1. Salazar 2. Godric 3. Rowena 4. Helga My reason for this is not bulletproof or ironclad by any means, but it’s my personal head canon cause I think it’s fun. So we all know Salazar left hogwarts after arguing with the other founders about blood purity of students. I believe there was a duel, some people also believe that there was a duel between Gryfindor and Slytherin. I take it one step further. I believe Salazar dueled all 3 of the other founders by himself and still came out of it alive, most likely a draw. This is most likely not what happened but I would like to believe it is and if I happen to be right, then there is no argument that could be made for Salazar not being the most powerful.
Harry isn't related to Voldermort by blood.. He only became related to Voldermort coz a part of Voldermort got embedded within Harry as a horcrux.. After Harry was avada Kedavra'd by voldy in the forbidden forest,this connection was immediately lost coz the horcrux got destroyed.. Edit :Just after posting this did I remember about the Peverell brothers and how Voldermort was a descendent of the oldest brother and Harry a descendant of the youngest.. That does make them very distant relations.. Yea, your question is a very good one.. 👏
Yes, it's also why Harry can continue speaking parseltongue even after he was no longer a horcrux in Cursed Child. As for people saying they weren't related, they actually were. Harry's dad had the cloak and Voldemort's mom had the stone. That means they are both related to the Gaunts. And therefore, related to each other
I would say Rowena, because she had the idea of the localisation of Hogwarts, she created the room of requirements, moving stairs etc.... And also beacause it's my house ^^
4) Helga Hufflepuff (ranked #4 for no other reason than she doesn't seem motivated to chase power) 3) Rowiena Ravenclaw (very very intelligent but seems like she wouldn't be very confrontational. Definitely would not want to go to war with her tho that would be scary) 2) Salazar Slytherin (I'm pretty sure he lost the duel to Gryfiendore which is why he left the castle) 1) Godrick Gryfiendore (pretty sure he defeated Salazar)
Raven law does not seek power but evolution and development. It’s wit is sharp and blade sharper when unsheathed ,Hufflepuf . Has grow towards balance and generous endeavors. This entitlement builds an innate knowledge of the true nature of all things and the strength to battle and when to mediate. Slytherin study the shadow land and have propensity for DarK magus . They align with the psychological inroads and when aligned are in knowing of the instincts. Gryindoor . Emotions are key to mature and be leaders when needed and help others toward their gifts,. Interesting how the women are listed as the less powerful. It is a different stream of power. Voldormat. Learned that
Honestly as they always were just grouped together I would presume the differences between them to be slight. Aka all four of them are absolute monsters in their own right. And after that I'm going by complete gut feeling, 1 I think is slytherin. I always read the legend of the chamber of secrets that it either took all three other founders to expell him, or that he went after an argument. (to be honest I believe the latter, but we're clinging to straws here.) plus we know about the basilisk (which he concealed from the other founders!) and we know he taught MERLIN. That's the big one 2. I think Rowena Ravenclaw. She was seen as the most intelligent witch of her age. And she is the one who found the location for hogwarts. I'd say she's quite comfortable on second or maybe even first place. I believe even if she had no particular fondness of martial magic, just the reality of their times demanded all of them to be exemplary duelists. Muggles were aware of magic and Christianity was on a rise and wizards were not that organized as a society yet. Society as a whole was a lot more messy and violent in the tenth century. So I do not believe Rowena just sat in her study like she would prefer to but that she was just as deadly in a duel as the other three. if not more due to her knowledge. 3. Gryffindor. We only know he was a good duelist and swordsman. Really that's it. But still they were "the four most powerful of their time" and he's noted for his love of dueling, so he has to be an absolute monster in a fight. 4. Helga Hufflepuff but that is not to say she's not powerful. Just lacking in feats or even annotations
Perhaps Rowling has been giving us a hint about this allready ; ) 1. Gryffindor: Red and GOLD. 2. Slytherin: Green and SILVER. 3. Ravenclaw: Blue and BRONZE. 4. Hufflepuff: Yellow and black.
I would love it if j.k. Rowling would do a book and a movie about the founder's of Hogwarts. Here are a few director's that I think would be awesome. James wan, Christopher nolan, James Gunn, or G del Toro.
I personally believe that rowena and salazar we're the most powerful from the 4 cause these two relied in knowledge about magic while helga was more about acceptance and peace ( which is great ) and godrick did more sword fighting then a magic. Rowena was known as the smartest witch which would mean that she was more powerful then Helga ( still love helga tho ). She was the one who came up with most of the ideas in Hogwarts. She was good at charms and at stuff like astronomy. But all in all everyone has a different opinion and every founder is interesting in their own way. Them and the Hogwarts Ghosts are literally the most interesting Characters in the Series ( in my Opinion).
Another great video. I've always wanted to know how Hogwarts got it's name. Please do videos such as if students were allowed to take a cat, toad or an owl why Ron was allowed to take a rat to Hogwarts, How students got to Hogwarts centuries before there were any trains
I think Salazar shoud be first although I was also confuse with godric though godric has to be second because he did not undulge in the type of magic that salazar did and salazar did not hesitte to indulge in dark magic
I know this is incredibly lame but I really don’t see this making any other sense than them being equally powerful. As others mentioned the founders had traits specific to them so I guess we could rank them based on who would win in a duel or something like that but if we are discussing purely magical powers i think it’s not rankable
Harry Potter theory , Please make a video or tell me .. Please help me , I had recently completed the harry potter series 4-5 times but still addicted to it , No intention of demotivating you but how do you still make videos even though harry potter ended , do u have a hope of new movie or series or anything else , pls let me know .. i am in big trouble .
I have a few questions unrelated to the video: is it illegal to use unforgivable curses against beasts? If so, what about life threatening situations? Wouldn't the imperious curse be very valuable for controlling dragons for example, since the curses were unblockable? Can werewolves become animagi? Since lethifolds are classified as beasts, shouldn't one be able to kill them? What about avada kedavra?
I always assumed most magical beasts were immune to curses and jinxes.. like werewolves are so strong and feared because they are immune to magic, and I doubt dragons could be killed with avada kedavra.
@@HunterBelkiran @Julian Belkin Let's say acromantulas then. They have curse-resistant "skin" on all parts of their bodies except underneath them if I remember correctly, so a killing curse there should be effective, right? The problem I have with this is that the unforgivable curses are clearly stated to be unblockable, and it seems to me that if dragonskin or acromantula exterior were repelling unforgivable curses, every auror would be wearing it. I do agree with you in that it would be too OP for one curse to kill a dragon, so maybe only really powerful wizards could do it, or more than one are needed, like we see in goblet of fire with stupefying.
I think Salasar was the strongest, as for the other three I don't know where to place them. Salasar was the strongest, Salasar walued ambition the most. We also know that Merlin was in Slytherin so Slalasar was most likely his teacher. If I remember correctly it said that he fought whit the other founders about who should be allowed to attend the school. If that was magical battle that meant that he held his own fighting all three of them for some time. As for the others. I see Godrick as the dualist, the most prolific in combat. Has a good heart but isn't as much of an equaliterian as Helga since he values the brave more. His sword wil only appear for the brave. Helga as a Jack of all traits, she saw everyone and everything as important so she wouldn't value one subject over the other, so she would be less specialised but more versatile. We also know that she didn't hold back her information in front of her students she thought them everything she knew. So her students could probably challenge her a bit more. As for having a big heart I think she would be the most prolific in love related magic, since she valued everyone. She also enchanted the cup, Hebseba told Tom Riddle that the cup had a lot of magic and this was before it became a horcrox. Rowena was extremely knowledgeable, but I think she would prioritise gaing more knowledge over most other things. I don't think she would prioritise duals and combat as much. She is a lot more specialised. I think she migth prioritise gaining knowledge over perfecting certain spells etc.. My rankings is either: Salasar Godrick Helga Rowena Or Salasar Helga Godrick Rowena Godrick used a sword as his main vapon, and while being extremely proficient at magic, he migth have been slightly inferior to Helga when it came to magical combat since he used his sword more than his wand. Also I think she has the edge over him when it comes to love, since he reserves it for the brave while Helga doesn't discriminate.
We simply don't have enough information to do this ranking.... when it comes to "power", we only have small bits of information on Gryffindor and Slytherin.
You do realize Rowena had a diadem right. So whatever dark spells Salazar knew. Rowena would also know it and know how to counter it. And I believe magical power would go to Gryffindore. Because I don't think Salazar is more powerful then Rowena. I would say their magical powers are about equal. Without the diadem, their magical knowledge might be about equal. But Rowena might know just a little bit more. That's without the diadem. With the diadem, it would be no contest. So my ranking would be. 1 Godric. 2 Rowena (with diadem.) 3 Salazar. 4 Helga.
I would say Gryffindor is no.1 despite not dabbling in the dark arts the sword of Gryffindor has the power to kill a Basilisk & destroy horxrux and duelling with swords as opposed to Wands shows the immense strength & humility of Gryffindor
I always thought Godric duelling with a sword meant he used a sword instead of a wand to cast magic. Like Olivander says, you can use any stick as a wand to enhance magic, but a real wand is more effective, so Godric used a sword like a stick to enhance magic, not for actual sword duels. But idk.
I always had the impression that Godric was sort of like a Beowulf type of figure. That is prior to founding Hogwarts, he may have wondered the land slaying monsters and fighting for just causes like a knight in shining armor. Hence why he had the sword in the first place.
I like to think that the power of wizards, and magic in general, is related to the number and types of magical creatures in the world. After the Statute of Secrecy, when magical creatures began to be hunted or suppressed in other ways, magic overall started to get weaker.
Is Dumbledore more powerful though? He was exhausted at the end of his duel with Voldemort, and Voldemort retreated because the aurors were approaching. Voldemort is also noted to be growing more powerful throughout _Half-Blood Prince_ and _Deathly Hallows._
Gryffindor and Slytherin represent the two poles of good and evil and thus are the avatars of each and are the most powerful. The most powerful wizards ever come from these 2 houses, Dumbledore, probably Merlin and Voldemort. Ravenclaw valued intelligence which is vital to becoming a powerful. Mage. So they would be third. Hufflepuff of course is last.
Slytherin was the weakest link, he left the school. His snake lost too. 1. Huff = love 2. Godrik = ethics 3. Rav = knowledge 4. Sly = smart but had a rotten core
Im gonna say that all the founders ARE EQUALLY POWERFUL ceboz of their own specialty. Salazar with his dark magic, Helga with her magic of foods, Godric with his bravery and swordsman, Rowena with her extreme knowledge in magics. And imma proud slytherin btw 🐍.
For me: #4 Slytherin - if you need to use dark arts to become powerful, you are not powerful yourself at all. #3 Gryffindor - if you need to use brute strength, you doing it on your own force... but your still not powerful. #2 Ravenclaw - if you need your intelligence, you can learn a lot, but it all comes from 'the outside'. It makes you slightly more powerful with every new thing you learn. #1 Hufflepuff - if you are so kind and wel excepting, that you find yourself able to except everyone (and everyone means everyone - so for me there is no doubt Hufflepuff 100% agreed wit Gryffindor on excepting muggle borns)... it makes you extreme powerful. I can't imagine someone would try to become 'greater then Helga' (as you can try to become more ambitious than Salazar, braver than Godric or smarter than Rowena). So nobody would never ever try to duel her. It is power from the inside, from the heart. Unmeasrable. Therfore Helga Hufflepuff was the greatest of them all. The one who binded the other three individuals... without her there would have been three schools. I'm sure about that. Although as a proud Hufflepuff I might be... 🤫🤣 💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛🧙♀️💛🖤💛🖤💛🖤💛
Video suggestion: How could people have thought Hagrid was the hair of Slytherin? And why did he remain expelled forever, and why was his license to use magic suspended indefinitely when it was obvious that he was not the heir of Slytherin?
personally i think that Slytherin is the strongest the reason being is his lack of shame that being the Salzar could learn anything while the other wizards have set they boundaries Slytherin didn't have one which is why i personally think that Slytherin is the Strongest (and btw Slytherin is not my house so i can't be biased.)
If we were to lend the power to the ideal each house represents, nothing short of complete decimation would stop Hufflepuff from holding the throne. Even outside the direct name of Hufflepuff, the will to be free, will stand until everything is gone, or they triumph. Gryphondor, if it is broken, fix it. - Nothing new will come to pass, and society runs in standstill to a world without a will to fight for. Slytherin, if it is broken, buy a new one. - Everything is used to an end, and eventually the stock runs out. Hufflepuff, if it is broken, repurpose it. - Life continues with every facet of worth in tune, entropy comes to visit maybe a little early. Everyone, and everything is there to enjoy their last cup of tea. Ravenclaw, if it is broken, it was built wrong. - Technical perfection, the spotless world waits with little to distract from entropy on their clock. Even if possible to repeal, or last to entropy with Ravenclaws knowledge. Anything short of defeating entropy would end with loss of time and energy trying to fight it. And countless things already have been more effective but were lost to time before our complex and costly 'advancements'. I'm VERY willing to bet wisdom against it.
Do you realize how predictable you are in these rankings? Bad guys are always "more powerful" just because they choose to use dark arts. Even someone like Peter Pettigrew, that the books over and over again say is nowhere near his friends' level, is ranked as the "most powerful" marauder, so of course Slytherin must be "more powerful" than Gryffindor since he too used dark magic. May I remind you of the very first chapter of the very first book when Rowling lets McGonagall set things straight from the beginning, when discussing Dumbledore's power versus Voldemort's - being "too noble" to use dark magic doesn't make you less powerful. And also, in the words of Binns "Just because a wizard doesn’t use Dark Magic doesn’t mean he can’t, Miss Pennyfeather" 😉
