Elves are extremely powerful beings, they can perform incredible feats of magic and have even been known to challenge wizards in terms of their performance of certain spells and charms. Is this part of the reason as to why elves are not permitted to carry wands? Is that reason linked to why they are an enslaved race? I’ll be answering those questions and more in todays video.

Dobby never meant to kill. He only meant to maim, or seriously injure.
🤣 love it
😂😂😂😂😂😂
👁👄👁
Some of a hero’s last words
Sod :(
“Dobby has no master, Dobby is a free elf and Dobby has come to save Harry Potter and his friends.”
😭😭😭
I’m still crying that right after these words Dobby got knifed by the badass Bellatrix 😡 and died. 😭😭😭
Cesar Cezar badass bellatrix? That’s mean XD
That was the most really messed up death like commonn Dobby should have fought beside Harry through the entire franchise movies
Bellatrix wasn’t a badass she was evil. Big difference
@@AstraA000 she’s both
WHY BELLATRIX WHY! 😭😭😭😭
I still remember when harry told dobby to do him a favor
TO NOT SAVE HIS LIFE
AND WHEN DOBBY SAID
I DID NOT MEAN TO KILL,
ONLY TO MAIM OR SERIOUSLY INJURE
Dobby's sense of what protection means is somewhat faulty...
@@johan.ohgren so is Albus Dumbledore's. protect Harry, meant leave him in a house of abuse. with beatings, starvation and imprisonment.
Thankfully for Harry, Dobby had his fingers crossed at the time.
@@karsten69 coz harry needs a blood relation wrt to LILY to ensure the love protection...SO DUMBLEDORE is not dumb Even though his name contains DUMB
@@rjesh2062 you're right, he is not dumb, he is an abuse enabler, since he knew about it. it was a conscious choice to allow the abuse of Harry to continue all those years.
I think that elves don’t have wands to a power fear from wizards, look at the wandless magic Dobby did, wizards made house elves feel below them as they know house elves are magically more powerful than them. The attitude elves have towards wizards and witches (like kreacher) is what prevents elves from being in power
Elves don't hate wizards, Dobby was supposedly the only house elf who wanted to be free, and kreacher didn't hate wizards, he was a pureblood supremacist. If they're not gonna give house elves clothes, they'd probably forbid them from holding wands for the same reason: to keep them from any power or freedom of their own
I've always believed thag wandless magic is far more powerful than having to channel it through a wand and because of this, I feel like elves are much more powerful than wizards and witches.
Thinking of the random magic done by children, I guess wands are crutches anyways. Uagadou students might be on a clear advantage.
@@christophg.6339 I just think wands help casters focus their energy on on a physical object. Much like how words and movements help focus the mind on casting a specific spell.
Then how did they lose their freedom 😑. Wandless magic is strong but it lacks in other areas like creativity. Because they just thought about what they wanted to do it always became second nature and they never got creative with it like wizards did. Wizards lacks the ability to it made it important for them to learn and create because it was required. A elf with a wand would basically have two wands that can perform together. One wand being an actual wand and the other being their other free hand that can perform wandless magic. Wizards would get smoked if that had two spells being casted at them at the same time and will always be out classed against an elf with a wand
I second that 🙋.
@@R.O.T.C._SEEM Because logistics wins wars power isn't all that relevant. Unless your outclassed in tech or numbers by alot.
I have a theory that House Elves were actually once like elves in most fantasy universe like TES, WH, WC but where reduced to their current state due to a possible ancient war between man and elf kind. Which part of the condition of their defeat would be a dark curse put upon them that would enslave their species while reducing their once human like forms from thousands of years ago to what we see today.
What universes are those?
That is a good theory 👍
Interesting.
Kinda like the Orcs in LotR
That's very interesting I like that I've always wondered why free elves would not take over other masters
Almost all house elves are bound to a human master. They're slaves, and are forced to act within a tiny box, only pushing the boundaries of the last command they were given.
Things seem to be different in the USA though
They actually seem to be tied to a home, usually an ancient one like Hogwarts and Malfoy Manor. On inheritance or sale of the home so goes the elves within. Actually placing the elves in the inheritance seems to be a rarity...but Sirius had to be sure.
Oh hi Tom I just read ur diary
Reminds me of Harry Potter himself. Was he a house elf for the Dursleys then? He stayed there for 10 years doing all the chores in the house for them.
i thought it elves had a degrading magical core and they would bond to wizards to keep their magic active which was why they got upset when hermonie tried to free them
That’s an interesting thought, but it doesn’t explain Dobby
@@auroramichael1110 This is a really interesting theory! I suppose it could be argued that Dobby was bonded to Harry, not through enslavement but by his own choice. Dobby adored Harry and valued his friendship - so I suppose he could have been bonded to Harry, serving him as a friend rather than a "lesser" creature.
Is there any proof for that in the books? I haven’t read them all yet so I’m genuinely curious
I wonder if a creature as naturally powerful as the elves used a wand if they would blow the core. Think of it like a power surge. If a power surge is not stopped by a breaker it can short out all the wiring inside an electronic device (including the power cord itself). I wonder if the power from a house elf passing through a wand would cause the wand core to "short out"/melt, rendering the wand useless (particularly if the core were one of the less powerful ones).
Folklore, could you do a story about the Goblins in Fantastic Beasts? They were seen having "human" jobs, such as a dancer in a night club, a bar tender, and alot of them even worked for the American Ministry Of Magic, why not in HP?
Well, muggles came to American from all over Europe to avoid religious persecution. It is possible that the magical world also came to America to be accepted. I meant if you think about pure blood rhetoric isn’t really at large, Macusa was only concern in the statue of secrecy being kept which is why they banned inter marriage.
If all the elves had an uprising they could overtake the humans
Elf magic is different to wizard magic though... so who knows 🤔
@Carter Atwell I don't think its a matter of "can't" but a matter of avoiding slaughter and war. The wizarding society isn't undefeatable and neither are elfs.
@@karinahilton2330 exactly
@Carter Atwell true, but remember that that knife was pulled thru the portal Dobby was creating so he probably didn't have time to deflect it elsewhere.
@Carter Atwell thanks for pointing out that I didn't type the word didn't in my sentence... I've corrected that 😋
Despite Dobby's initial troublesome ways, I really came to love and respect Dobby the House Elf. Because he meant well.
In a way, that even happened. Winky "complains" to Harry that freedom got to Dobby's head, starting to ask for payment, for example - which was a no no for the house elfs. He took pride in his status of a free elf, opposing Bellatrix. That surely has been an un-heard of >>elfancipation
I wonder how the story would be different if JK Rowling gave us elves similar to the ones found in Middle-Earth
I mean, these are "house elves". Maybe there are different kind of elves like in LOTR too.
I suspect if House Elves were permitted wands, considering how magically powerful they are without a wand, it's possible that they could create their own world. If a wizard's magic can create a "cloaking" world that is only invisible to non-magical being then think of the possibility of another dimension.
Yesterday was Hogwarts’s classes so next video explain the grades like O for outstanding is A+ and T for troll is F, along with the exams of OWL and NEWT.
If Elves and Goblins had wands, Even Dumbledore Grindelwald and Voldemort would stand 0 chance
I always wondered how the elves got enslaved & if they would be freed as a race again. If they were somehow bound like with an unbreakable promise to not use their powers to cause harm (except in self-defense, which would be rare since they seem able to disapparate instantly with just a thought & therefore be able to evade most danger) or negatively interfere with other races, would they be trusted again? Would they then build their own society again like they must have had before enslavement? I think that would be really interesting to see.
I wonder if Rowling ever mentioned what happened to Kreacher .. he stayed alive after the battle of Hogwarts. But died after Albus went to school. But did he stay at Hogwarts or lived with the Potters?
Why did Dobby have to die😭 someone should have healed him. There are many ways.
Well I'm not sure what happens in the book cuz I couldn't read it but in the movie he asks Hermione for dittany or something but she was so shocked that she stayed with Ron.
That pissed me off and never forgave Hermione because for real girl you used that healing potion all on Ron that big bottle to me she didn't care about Dobby as much as Harry did.
@@rosabelcarrion6819 i think hermione didn’t give it to him because he was already deeply wounded by the time they tried it would be no use if you read the books when hermione healed ron it was very difficult even for just a tiny wound and it wouldn’t have worked for dobby because he had lost blood and hermione isn’t experienced so she could have risked hurting him more, "Harry and Hermione half carried, half dragged Ron through the entrance of the tent... Even this short journey had turned Ron whiter still, and once they had settled him on the mattress he closed his eyes again and did not speak for a while." see even the potion didn’t work well on ron. and here hermione explained " 'It's all I feel safe doing,' said Hermione shakily. 'There are spells that would put him completely right, but I daren't try in case I do them wrong and cause more damage.... He's lost so much blood already...." there really wasn’t much she could do, plus hermione would never dare to put a house elf through any pain because she has stood up for them in the past. so my point is that the dittany wouldn’t have worked because it doesn’t help with blood loss.
however, another thing to consider is the characters' state of mind at the time dobby got injured. hermione had just been tortured by bellatrix, and all of them had just escaped imprisonment and certain death. i doubt any of them were thinking very clearly or logically, especially hermione.
I wish that he wouldn’t have died. It was the worst death in the entire series. His death was so tragic, that one really hurt p
Wizards can make magic without a wand, it is called wandless magic or infant magic, because most times it is performed by young wizards and witches who are under eleven and still don´t own their wands. One talented wizard can make wandless magic, an example is Tom Riddle
"Mugg-elf" I can't decide if I'm smh or incredibly proud 😂
Gabri Could that name, “Mugg-elf” be the name for a non-magical half-elf (the offspring of a Muggle and an elf)?
It's been stated that the American house elves might be free. In the first "Fantastic Beasts" film, some house elves wear proper clothing and are allowed to hold wands, albeit when they're cleaning it for their master. What are your opinions and theories?
@@Lilith_Xolaani I meant house elves are allowed to hold a wand when they're cleaning it for a wizard, not a master. Thanks for pointing out that mistake.
Imagine if Legolas could use a wand. Also imagine if LOTR Elves existed in the Harry Potter world. Good luck trying to oppress and enslave them.
“I’m very smart and full of puns” lol I love that healthy ego
Dungeons and dragons is full of wizards that summon powerful creatures like homunculi to serve them, they use spells to control them and like house elves, they can be loyal to a master that treats them well and cunning to the point of obstructing to a master that openly hates and abuses them.
What if the first house elf enslavements came from summoning a powerful creature with spells by powerful wizards and witches as a status? Could be why rich and old families have house elves. The elves can’t return to wherever they came from and they can only be released in to the world by the giving of clothes fits the folk tales of many powerful but diminutive faerie folk.
Harry Potter Folklore!! You make the best Theories EVER and it's amazing how you have lots of evidence to support them! Great Video! 👏✌🤪
Thanks for making these videos dean.
wish i could support you so much so exited for the riddle series
Anyone else wish they could just give Dobby a big hug? He is pretty awesome.
I really liked the video but what made it even better was how much I saw Dobby
Mugelfborns... The puns *applause!* Very smart and full of puns indeed.
RIP Dobby, you will never be forgotten
Wonderful vid ,I hope you can do one on umbridge on why she had developed toad-like look likely after deviously running off her mother and brother
It's so interesting how people claim to be the first ones to comment.
Bruh only one person can be the winner
Ik
i know right
If you enter a vid as one of the first, other comments will not be loaded if you don't refresh the page. So they all really do think that they are first.
This reminds me of the wandless magic vid thanks for the content again any word on the riddle series btw ?
"Dobby is free."
finally found this channel again, best harry potter channel
I say they need to be bonded with magicals to live since winky deteriorate and nearly died without a master.
And the bond is needed to suck up exeses magic example the Weasleys. Yes they built up the house but Molly is there almost 24/7 constantly useing magic that's a lot of it( Harry Potter and the bonds of time and other fanfics use it and it makes sense)
The lives of elves are getting better every day
First year, kills teacher (no consequence)
Second year, kills school pet (no consequence)
Third year, sets felon free (no consequence)
Fourth year, joins dangerous game while under age (slap on the wrist)
Fifth year, trains group of teenagers for combat and invaded government facility (punished for training, no consequences for invasion)
Sixth year, casts deadly curse at classmate (no consequence)
Seventh year, skips school for entire year. Plays hide and seek instead (No consequence)
Hogwarts was always on Harry's side and knew it was always his fight.
Wrote this illogical and biased comment without reading the books (no consequence)
@@coreyhale6660 Draco Malfoy was about to use the Cruciartus Curse against him and neither of them knew how dangerous or even what Sectumsempra did
Yes there is a half elf in the Fantastic Beasts and there is a part Goblin teacher at HW, so what can we deduce from this or do we need to spell it out?
Who was the Half Elf?
Every topic you cover is a topic for me
i think house elves are really cool and 1 of the best creatures from the book not the movie where are winky and the hogwarts elves why is dobby only in 2 films and why is kreacher barely mentioned
love your videos
I liked the information that was just revealed, and the set of theories about the (Elves) that was just mentioned.
Amazing video deen been looking forward for this video for a long time keep up the great work 😊
More to come!
2 videos within 24 hours, you are spoiling us Dean, can't complain loved the video.
There's another 9
:)
Bad Dobby!!! Bad dobby!!!
*hits his head on the wall while saying this*
I love your accent...it fits so well with the narration.
Ancient magic is more powerful, which we see throughout the series, so maybe house elves were enslaved when wizards were more magically powerful. And their culture of enslavement was created over the centuries or millenia.
I am not that familiar with the origins of house elfs, but I have my suspicions. Homonculi are found in every culture. While it translates to small person. What it really is is a constructed living being. One splits their soul with love to create a living creature that is devoted to them. Wizards in most fantasy settings create them as helpers or as children. I suspect that house elfs were created long ago in a similar manor as a helper and instead of being viewed as an ofspring were viewed as a tool. I say similar as using love not allow a person to view a created being as a tool. Perhaps ambition or desire.
I think the house elves are a type of Brownie. It's a house type elf that helps with cleaning and taking care of a house on their own accord until you give them something in return then they stop. There are stories related to that like the man and the shoe where the Brownie/elf was making him shoes I think until he gave the elf shoes, too then never came back. I believe it's from Celtic mythology.

A Great Talent By House Elves That No One Really Talks About Is, That House Elves Can Tell What Kind Of Witch Or Wizard You Are By The Scent Of Your Blood
Interesting about House Elves, never really understood why they refer to themselves in the third person “Kreacher, has been watching” and “Dobby has no master…”
Probably they never needed wands for house chores and doing what their masters asked of them. A slave that works the field and cleans the house doesn't need to own a gun.
Well, this video brings up the next question. How we're creatures as powerful as elves even able to be enslaved
I'm just forgetting things here
Why did Ron was able to tell Dobby where Shell Cottage is even when Bill is the secrete keeper in DH?
Can someone pls tell me
I’m almost positive the Fidelius Charm was placed on the home AFTER Dobby brought them there. This is when the Death Eaters found out about Ron not being sick, so I’m assuming they finally placed the charm on the home after all these events. Unless it’s some crazy Elf magic and it just bypasses any human charm.
Just a few hunches 🤷🏻♀️
@@corporateliquidator5357 That'd be such a big loophole 😳 Would be so dangerous if wizards and witches found that out and used elves to do their bidding in that way.
Or if Elves decided to rise up they'd be able to bypass most protection a wizard or witch would have.
I'm pretty sure that's because it's his brother's house so therefore if he knew where the location of the houses beforehand he is still able to get inside
CAN WE ALL AGREE THAT KREACHER IS AMAZING AND DOBBY IS ALL IN OUR HEARTS.
Wands are kinda like reverse horcruxes. The wand maker tortures a magical animal. At the peek of personal distress, a part of the animal is removed. That distressed animal part contains a part of the animal’s magic - a part of that animal’s soul. But it’s not a split soul, it’s a distressed soul. It screams out, projecting and focusing on the animal’s distress for all time. That focus is what allows humans to use wands to focus their magic. The deeper the distress of the animal, the deeper the focus the human spells can achieve.
The Elder Wand was made with a core of Death herself. Because Death is very resilient, whatever was needed to cause the distress of Death sufficient to create a wand was profoundly deep. That’s why the wand is so wonderful at focusing magical energy. It’s also why it has the bizarre disarming rules; the focus is so deep that it pulls the wizard into it or otherwise binds the wizard. The wizard must be removed for another wizard to attach. (I wonder what would have distressed Death so. Maybe the story has a hint or two!)
So how would this affect Grindlewald, Dumbledore and Voldemort if elves had their power
So once could say the sister of an elf’s mother is the Elf-aunt in the room?
Keep up the good work Dean your channel is incredible
Hey dean what is the reson of the 4 decapitated house elfs in #12 grimmlaud place in the Order of the Phoenix headquarters and why does kreacher want to be on the wall. Is it because of Regulas Black and how he died in the infreno. Keep up the great work. Also why can't dobby stop te bleeding like Snape if they can can do any spell with a snap after belliterx throw the knife.
The elf heads on the walls were, as quoted by Sirius Black: "too old to carry the tea tray". The House of Black killed the house elves that got too old, and Kreacher saw it as a great glory.
@@valentine_sunrise When i discovered it, this made my blood run cold because of the disturbing, creepy and eerie ways of thinking Black family had towards elves and the fact Kreacher sees it as a great glory shows how deep a mental conditioning made by someone who wants to keep you enslaved and powerless can be. I have always found this whole house-elves element one of the most, if not the most, disturbing thing in HP series, it's my personaly opinion of course^^
Great video, got me to wondering wat wand Albus Dumbledore used befor he got the elder wand
I had to keep restarting the video cuz of your surfshark ad!!! Thank you so much!!! This is an essential tool!!!
I didn't get what you meant by "keep restarting the video".
Did you actually enjoy SurfShark?
It is being a tremendous help to me.
wariolandgoldpiramid I haven’t used it yet!! But soon!!
@@Noneya5241 I got 37 months, and I'm really happy with it.
Do keep in mind though: Netflix can detect _some_ of SurfShark's servers, and block them. For example, I couldn't use "USA - Florida". But "USA - Detroid" worked just fine.
HarryPotterFolklore:goblins
Fans:Elfs
HarrPotterFolklore: Oh yEa
I love dobby he is a friendly elf
I always thought Harry and his friends were VERY fortunate, Dobby didn't listen when Harry asked him to never save his life again
Is it me? Or is the Dobby in Chamber of Secrets a better CGI than in Deathly Hallows?
Dobby was so obviously computer generated in the Deathly hallows scene where he was so excited to see and talk to Harry again while on top of the dining table.
I feel like Harry was also a house elf to the Dursleys for 10 years since he also did all the chores in their house. Really sounds sad..
That movie flame feature thooooooo
Love this video! Also I was wondering if you could do the Life of Pansy Parkinson?
I say free the house elves, also I wonder about what happened to kreacher after the battle for Hogwarts, also wonder what officially happened to Luna and wonder if Harry and Ginny and their kids are living at grimmauld place or did they purchase a different property for their family
Luna gets married to Newt Scamander's grandson.......... and they both love magical beasts so they're always on an adventure
Dobby’s last words “Harry Potter”
Dean always droping looove!! Never stop doing ehat you love and what we love!!
Dobby is like thanos.
Great video as always Dean!! I totally agree with your theory!
Can you make a video on , Phineas Nigellus Black the Hogwarts headmaster in the 1800
Do pros and cons over the types of magic
Why didn’t elfs ever just rise up I mean they are just as powerful as many wizards as it seems
There is also the possibility that Elves and wands are incompatible .
Perhaps if an Elf tries to use a wand, there is a high chance of magical backlash and bad magical things happen.
Would you want to be near a potential magical explosion any time an Elf used a wand ?
If that were the case I think it would've been brought up when Winky was accused of using Harry's wand at the QWC.
@@hughjass2640 Not necessarily, it may have been common knowledge that the reason for the ban was the danger, so there was no need to explicitly state the reason.
Brenda May Fuller yeah well it would have been nice and helpful for the house elfs to know the reason. Then maybe they could tell the future Generations why the ban is in place if their children ever ask them.
All those who gain power, fear to loose it!
I love listening to Seamus tell me about HP folklore :)
I believe the elves were under a generational spell similar to the unbreakable vow, that only could be broken when given clothes by the master that they were bound to.
Humans and other magic beings are equally capable of powerful magic but humans aren’t so great with hand magic while other magical beings have mastered wandless magic
It dose'nt matter if i am in quarantine.... Im always a Harry Potter fan .... I always wondered why Dobby didnt kick more ass hahah
Would you do a video on why Voldemort didn't take Harry with him to study why he didn't die in the philosophers stone when he killed Lilly and James Potter? And also why prof McGonagall switching to human form keeps her clothes but serious black doesn't?
Basically TRUE sorcerers
I love the free elf Dobby! ❤️
can u do what if Voldemort chose to go after Neville
Mabye elves do accept doing windless magic along with goblins
Question: How powerful would an army of Dobby be?
I think you should make a video to what happens to someone after they get the dermenters kiss
I know this is about the Harry Potter series but I can't help but see the reality of how breaking the spirit and causing someone or something to feel they are not worth anything but the lowest is horrible and pathetic. To hear it explained is not a surprise that wizards want to make sure they are the most powerful and they are indeed afraid to lose that power.
Pretty great video! I always loved the house elves in the Harry potter universe. They really could be very OP IF GIVEN THE CHANCE BUT They choose to be layed back and chill as a whole! They would make a good partner to tag up with to bend the rules and get ahead out of certain situations!!
I totally agree!
They're slaves. You speak like a 19th century slave owner lol "they choose to be servile, we gave them this life and they're thankful"
My theory:
In a distant past elves were free and careful creatures with great power, they were peacefull with other magical beings but Wizards and Witches were afraid of their power and potential so they attacked the elves, i imagine they used Ancient spells to defeat them (Maybe Avada, Cruciatus or Fiendfire) and slave them as punishment for their defeat
I'm finally able to sit down and catch up with all the videos. I'd like to see you make a video about how now that Hermione is Minister for Magic, do you think she gave elves equal rights and changed the law to be able to own wands? She was very adamant about changing their way of being treated and viewed. Maybe you can make a video about all the things Hermione has and probably will change
There is at least ONE half-blood elf in 'The Crimes of Grindlewald': Irma Dugard, a half-elf who was the housekeeper for the Lestranges.
I have some questions: Why did Dobby appear , Why did he desire to warn Harry, and if he was sent to warn Harry...WHO sent him?
