Squibs are basically Wizard-born Muggles.
edit: this was an oversimplification please don't hurt me-
But they can see dementors
@Chxkon is a qt what about in ootp that squib lady saw the dementors and described them
@Chxkon is a qt
Squibs can see dementors.
Philosyphy squibs can see everything wizards can except they cant preform magic
@@Seedonator no they cant
Angus wasn't estranged from his family. He was adored by his siblings who kept covering for him by making it look as if he had magic. That is how he got as far as the Sorting Hat.
And the sorting hat still mentioned how despite him nit having magic, he still had a kind heart.
That's so sad

@@mrkoala7193 There's no way. He was born in 1847. Dolores was born in 1965.
@@amandagates7634 It's always nuts hearing the ages of the adults in the books and comparing them to the ages of their actors. Harry's parents look a whole heck of a lot older than 21.
what if jk.rowling was a squib
She may well have been.
I think she’s reta skeeter And took on the identity of jk Rowling and just made these books in revenge for getting her magic removed for being a non-registered anameji
technically she is a mudblood because hermione is a self insert of jk rowling
Muggleborn.
We are all muggles no wonder why we can’t see the wizard world
I always wished there was someone who would have shown genuine kindness to Argus Filch. I remember when I was young, taking a valentine candy to the custodian at my school. He gave me the biggest smile in thanks.
As a school custodian I approve this message. Some of the parents were pretty cool and were very respectful, others were like Purebloods looking down on Squibs. I had a parent of one of my son's classmates seem to distance themselves as my better (when in fact he was a house husband and I worked as an Accountant by day and a school custodian by night). I lived in both the White Collar (Accountant) and Blue Collar (Custodian and Union Leader) worlds. I will always do what is needed for my family no matter how hard I have to work and when I needed to roll up my sleeves and work as a custodian (when Accounting work was scarce or benefits so expensive). This taught me to respect those in all levels of society. It was an eye opener for me on the perception of being a lower class doing this job (with a college degree) but sometimes responsibility is more important than pride.
Of all the great quotes the HP books have, the one that stuck with me the most is from Sirius: "If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." 💙
@@peterblaikie3744 My hat is off to you sir! I used to be a practical nurse but I've got health problems and it would be irresponsible for me to take on a job with responsibilities a nurse has. I'm like Mr Filch, I'm a building caretaker. I'm an evening caretaker at a local hotel. Much respect to you!
@@peterblaikie3744 thanks for this 🙏
Everyone should be equally kind to anyone and everyone. Some of my favorite people ever in life were my school custodians 🤎
I bet if a student was good to Filch, tried to help him clean things up, stand up for him, defend him from other students, and just try to be his friend. He wouldn’t think much of it, but a student being nice to him even when he was mean, he would eventually wish them luck and maybe even befriend them.
Squibs should have just run magic shops. Pubs like the Leakey cauldron, a shop like the weasleys joke shop, book store, etc
@karley Thurman But I imagine with Hermione being minister for magic she probably made strong laws protecting squibs and muggleborns alike
Omg I thought exactly the same thing lmao
@@brettlarch8050 mud bloods🤢
@@tranium67 eat slugssss🤣😂😂)(Ron's voice)
Squibs can somewhat interact with magic, they just can't do it. For example, Filtch could work at Hogwarts. A muggle could not see the castle or approach it.
I’d be SAAALLTTTYYY if I were a squib lmao, imagine growing up and all your friends are there buying their wands and you’re there with your qwikspell appointment
Edit: wow, 2k likes 😅
For real, it would be shit to see everyone get to do a lot of nice things and you be there on the side sad.
Well you can still brew potions, it's a science isn't it?
That's what I'd do.
@@trickshot646 IIRC, you still need a wand or the ability to create magic to make potions otherwise it's just a slightly disturbing soup.
@@paulspruill why? Snape said these exact words, and I quote, "there will be no foolish ward waving, or silly inchantations in this class, I am here to teach you the science, and complete art of potion making." He refers to it as a science, meaning that there are grounded variables that can be used to reach an ideal outcome. Besides, if these ingredients used to create a potion are already infused with magical properties, then why would you magic in order to use these powers in a practical application?
Trick Shot “foolish” and “silly” are key words. It seems some form of magic is still required to “activate” the potion.
One redeeming quality of Argus Filch, despite being a squib he participated in the battle of Hogwarts, likely throwing rubble at the enemy, he defended students and staff, even if his goal may well have just been defending his home
"A redeeming quality, despite being a squib"
This sounds clearly ableist lol
Squibs deserves to be given rights by the Ministry because they carry the Gene's that can be passed on. So in fairness regardless of what choice a squib makes in their life, they should be registered and protected. To do otherwise would be a discriminatory act which should be punishable within the governing laws of magic!🧙♂️
I believe that Squibs are born with the magical gene, but due to the inbreeding of magical families, genetic defects/abnormalities occur that suppress the channeling of magic within the child. Suffice it to say that that doesn't mean that Squibs cannot sire/bear a magical child. This could answer the question of how a child of 2 muggle parents can have a magical child. The muggles may be decendents of a Squib and somehow the magical gene is activated. Plus, we learned by example that a magical child of muggle (squibline) parents seem to be more powerful than the child of 2 magical parents. 🤔 [Most illuminating.]🤔
You really thought about this deeply...
Do you need magic spells for Herbology? If not squibs could learn that and grow magical plants or if the same applies to care for magical creatures then they could do learn that as well or even open shops in Diagon Alley or Hogsmead. They can see magic and things so could they learn about that. Maybe allow squibs into Hogwarts to learn from those professors. And supply the Potions prof. with ingredients.
Not a bad idea, just need to get prejudices.
Noice
branflakes523 yes but the only downside is that they cannot use herbivicus to increase the speed
Love this idea!!!
Many wizards and witches use magic in their jobs very rarely or not at all. All those Diagon Alley shops - you don't need magic to sell goods like second-hand clothes, quills, or ice cream. A Squib could even open a restaurant there, or at least work as a cook in one. Or become a famous rock star in the wizarding world - either as a solo singer or a member of a band like Weird Sisters. Or write music or song lyrics for them. A book author also doesn't need magic in order to write books for magical readers. Magic is very handy for Rita Skeeter, but not all reporters (or the photographers who accompany them) need to be magical. A Squib could even become a scientist in a field such as astronomy, arithmancy etc., which doesn't require magic. Or become an expert in wizarding history and then land a job as a professor at Hogwarts, teaching History of Magic instead of the inept professor Binns.
Indeed, there are many jobs a Squib would be capable to do.
I think we Potterheads are all Squibs. We are so knowledgeable of this world and yet...not truly magical in real life. We are magical in our hearts though and we shall remain strong as a fandom together!
I agree with that because I know everything about magical creatures and beings and where they are and all about the magical world and yet try as I might I cannot preform one piece of magic
Agreed I know most maybe all Magical animals and plants
How dare you name we a squib !
I'm not a squib. Not that I hate them, I love all people. I just don't show off with my magic, well maybe a little hand gesture to catch someone off guard for fun but that's it. :3
Wow!!. Thatright there, is insperiational..
Squibs are treated exactly how Grindelwald wanted to treat all muggles.
What if Percy was sorted into slytherin
What if harry killed bellatrix at the ministry
What if sirius raised harry
What if James and lily survived
What if voldemort gave snape the diary
What if remus wasn't a werewolf
2: then we wouldn't have a "Not my daughter, you bitch!" moment and that would suck.
1. Nothing much would have changed, I think.
2. It would definitely damage his character and the possession attempt of Voldemort could actually be successful. Also, could he really kill her with a AK? His most important character trait was that he was essentially good. He wouldn't ever be able to use that spell to any effect. Outside of AK he didn't really had any knowledge (in this point of time) of spells that could actually kill someone, I could be wrong tho..
3. Obviously Harry would have had a better childhood than the one spent with the Dursleys’, abused, neglected and unloved. Also, he would know he was a Wizard and his parents. The only downside is that Sirius _probably_ would have spoiled Harry so he might have developed some amount of arrogance.
4. Everything would have changed.
5. Don't know. It comes down at what point in time he gave him his diary. But it would probably give Dumbledore hints way earlier about the horcruxes, _if_ he does show it to Dumbledore.
6. Marauders wouldn't be Animagus. Shrieking Shack wouldn't exist. The Secret-Keeper could be Remus. Remus isn’t a Dark Creature, possibly lured to the Death Eaters, but a trusted best friend who would die for them. He’s the one they pick to be Secret-Keeper, not Peter.
...whoa
1. Then things would have gotten very different
2. Then Fred and the rest of them would of survived GOD DAMN YOU BELLATRIX!
3. Prisoner of Azkaban would not exist and Sirius and everyone could have survived
4. Then Harry wouldn’t be famous and everything that happened wouldn’t of happened
5. ALL HELL WOULD HAVE BROKEN LOOSE!
6. Then Lupin would be teaching at Hogwarts still (up until his death)
@@EmmyJarvis fred wasn't killed by bellatrix
Filch is a really bad first impression of Squibs that the young witches and wizards get introduced to.
Filch is like that for he was treated badly .
If he gets a really good helper then he is sure to move on .
they weren’t told he was a squib.
@@cailtlin They got to know in the Chamber of Secrets .
Anyways many could have discovered his kwikspell and alll .
Can you please do, "What if Voldemort had taken Harry instead of trying to kill him?"
idk like just stolen him... idfk😂

ِ ِ skskskss it would be interesting tho
Why would he do that?
What would he do with him?
@@blueandbronzeravenclaw1961 Well look at it like this: Voldemort knows that Harry will one day become strong enough to take him down. So why wouldn't he want that kind of power on his side?
I was halfway through this video wandering why movie flames voice was weird before I noticed this wasn't movie flame XD
OMG LOL (u did not see the intro bruuuuuuh)
Man, I know Squibs must haaaaaaaaaaaaaate muggleborns. XD
The Red Sterling Mc'Bae muggle-borns Are their descendants.
@@jayxfrost8987 Exactly.
A video suggestion:
Alternate universe where Bellatrix/Death Eaters turned their back on Voldemort because he is not a pure blood.
Yes, I want to see that too. What would happen if the Death Eaters were to find out and believe (because Harry told them, but they didn't believe him) that Voldemort is not a pure-blood?
Voldemort wanted wizarding supremacy. He only cared about blood status to satisfy the ruling pureblood class.
Yea this really bothered me. It's fucking stupid how Voldemort has a muggle dad and is never called out on it.
omg true like they followed him and all shared a hatred for anyone who wasn't pure blood but yet their own leader was a half blood!
@@Gunplabro ... Voldemort is supposed to be likend to Hitler
I think Ron says that he has a second-cousin who’s a squib, who works as an accountant. He also says he doesn’t talk to the squib very much. Also, as a video suggestion, what if Harry used the cruciatus on Bellatrix in the Department of Mysteries.
Yup. That is true. As a kid I remember reading what Ron said and it made me sad and angry because they said they don't talk to him much. The reason why it hit so close to home for me is because I'm disabled. Attitudes like that toward the disabled have been pretty common historically and things have been getting better for the disabled fairly recently, historically speaking. The Americans with Disabilities act has only been around since 1990.
Pretty and Odd in the book Harry did. But he wasn’t good with Belatrix saying “First time using this curse you have to mean it for it to work “
They don't talk because they are simply not that close, or because prejudice? Like I have second cousins and it's not always that I talk to them. Just wondering though
Then... from next time she would have stop using that curse🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@justarandomgal2683 They still practice legal slavery what do you expect man?
I wouldn't be able to do it. You either live in a world where everyone looks down on you, even your family; or in a world where everyone is the same but you know there's something better beyond the mundane. I'd go absolutely insane
Squibs who have moved into muggle society and whose descendants have forgotten their magical roots are likely he ancestors of muggle born wizards, when the right combo of genes fall into place to turn on the magic abilities. So Hermione and Lilly probably had wizard/witch ancestors, and many muggles might be carriers of the recessive gene (like Petunia maybe).
Squibs are a curse to wizards and a blessing to muggles.
You'd think that at some point a despairing Squib would expose the wizarding world to the muggles and rally some angry mobs and even witch hunts.
'The boy ostracized by a village will be the man who returns to burn it to finally feel it's warmth'
-African Proverb
not just the Squib's but the magical creature like goblin and magical beast that are as smart as humans would help those Squib's do it as their mistreated as well hell wizards with muggle parents would likely help.
I always figured a squib was produced because of a throwback muggle gene somewhere in the family line. Oppositionally, if a witch or wizard would happen in a muggle family because, somewhere back in the line, a squib married a muggle. At a later generation the magic gene pops back up. Therefore you have a magic kid from seemingly muggle parents. Genes are crazy that way.
HPF fans: I think he’s running out of video ideas
HPF: hold my butterbeer
(HPF = Harry Potter folklore)
I read that as Harry Potter Fans until I got to the bottom XD
A squib could still buy potions from wizards that would give them an unnaturally unfair advantage in the muggle world. Worse things than being a squib.
Like a felix felicis potion 🙂
On a related topic I'd love to see a bunch of house elves singing "it's a hard knock life" :)
;-;
Maybe a memory wiping charm for amnesia? And a muggle life with a loving adoptive muggle family....
The whole concept kind of reminds me of how people with disabilities were treated not so long ago. Many would either be hidden away or thrown into institutions where nobody cared about them, and they were used for very difficult or monotonous labour. Think of being sent to the Muggle world as that form of institutionalization.
Squibs are basically muggle but they know about the Wizarding world
Ami-Corn I think being a squib is worse than being a muggle because of parental expectations.
Imagine being told your whole life all the wonderful things you’ll be able to do when you’re a little older, tons of stories about all the fun found at Hogwarts. Seeing magic around you everyday, so looking forward to your Hogwarts letter, then finding out around age 10 or 11 (or whenever it’s figured out) that you won’t be able to do any of it, and you can’t go to Hogwarts like every other kid you know. It would be so lonely and heartbreaking.
Even if the parents are nice the disappointment would be so thick in the air, it would be awful. Better to learn about the muggle world and leave the magical one. Only way to have some success and peace.
The magical world in Britain is too backward to do otherwise. Who knows, maybe someone like Hermione championed them after the Second Wizarding War?
It’s better being muggle so ur not bullied for being a squib and your not jealous of being magical because you don’t know about the wizarding world

I think that squibs on Harry Potter world represent disabled people in the real world.
Baby Lily I think what their trying to say is that it’s symbolism of the prejudice against disabled people outside of the HP universe.
@Baby Lily shut up
@karley Thurman Shut up
@baby Lily it’s a representation not actual disabled people on wheelchairs dummy
I really wish they had more squib's in the Harry Potter Universe that we're mentioned, there were only 2 possibly 3.
Squibs are supposed to be rare. They are more common in Fanfiction.
It is good there was no more squibs. They stink up the place.
@@carloswilson671 If squibs are rare how are there so many Muggle-borns? I'm so confused
@@DinosaurNick
Per capita Muggle-borns and Squibs are both rare but when there are some ten thousand Muggles for every wizard it seems like there are a lot of Muggle-borns around but there really aren't that many. Though it does seem probable that if of Muggle-born occurs in a family there are apt to be others take for example Dennis and Colon Creevy. I would imagine the Ministry informed Petunia that she was likely to have a Muggle-born child. That may be why she only had one child
@@tomriddle5680 Look who's speaking. The man who killed me and Lily. Don't you dare harm our son Harry though!

You got that right!

I'm wondering would it be possible for a squib to pass on the active magical gene to their children and further down the line.
Leviticus Pagelus it is
Very probably, it might be an explanation for muggle-borns. It seems unreasonable to assumed that the magical gene appeared randomly in all of them
There's a theory that muggleborns are descendants of squids that went to live in the muggle world.
There was 2 be a Weasley magical cousin called Mafalda who was born 2 a Squib and a Muggle.
Magic is an inherited trait and it can’t come from nowhere. Muggle-borns inherit magic from a distant ancestor, they are descended from Squibs who have married Muggles and whose families had lost the knowledge of their wizarding legacy. The magic resurfaces unexpectedly many generations later.
That was already stated by Rowling.
Poor Walter Frey. Wait wrong place.
Imagine a descendant from Salazar Slytherin being a squib but being able to speak parseltongue.
They could work with snakes in the muggle world.
If I was a squib I'd want my memory wiped. Do you have any idea how depressing it would be to live around all that magic and not being able to do anything
Can you do more videos on the death eaters??
Another great video harry potter folklore keep up the good work and great commentary as always Dean
As painful as it might end up being, I'd much rather be a Squib living in the Wizarding World.
You see... I myself may not ever be able to cast a charm of my own, but my potential child could very well possibly be born with the magical touch and go to become someone great.
I can see myself being a restaurant owner in Diagon Alley and loving my life as a cook for those more blessed than I.
I can imagine my possible child growing up with their friends and enjoying the food I make for them.
Now THAT is a fulfilling life for me.
I always thought that Aunt Petunia was a squib. Didn't anyone wonder how her house was so spotless? No matter how hard you clean, you are going to miss something. But Rowling made a point to tell the readers how clean the Dursleys' house was.
Aunt Petunia was born a muggle and she was a housewife. Petunia didn't work so all she had to do all day was clean, cook and care for her son Dudley and Husband Vernon. that's all she had to do so of course her house was going to be clean and spotless.
She couldn’t be a squib. Squib is a person who born from magical parents and the evans weren’t magical at all. They probably had squib ancestor tho
The wizarding world can be whimsical and cool and all, though even in the late 20th century, the wizarding culture is pretty barbaric and behind the times when it comes to moral and ethical practices. For example-
Magic folk can still own slaves. Though not human, they still use sentient beings with complex thinking and problem solving skills, like elves even though they also use magic.
They have to teach children how to defend themselves against possible dangers as if it were an every day history class. That's like teaching kids in normal school everyday how to use all sorts of guns to defend themselves against mass shooters or criminals. This means the wizarding world is more dangerous to live in than to be a regular student at high school.
There doesn't seem to be much safety precautions when it comes to fiddling with magic, potions, dangerous mythical creatures etc.
They allow love potions to be sold willy nilly, which using it could be the equivalent of spiking someone's drink before... you know... Which is weird, because it's illegal to use the Imperious Curse, but just as long as it's in liquid form, you can make people do what you want?
Magic teachers seem to be allowed to hit students, use magic to punish them or "Just leave them there" when one of them passes out in the middle of class, rather than taking them to the nurse.
Why do they allow dark information like horcrux to be available in wizard schools comparable to a Middleschool/Highschool? Why are there even restricted sections in these schools?
Flying on a broom is cool, but would you let your child ride a coaster with no safety guards?
The Ministry being the government of the wizarding world, they have a pretty outdated judicial system.
They treat others who aren't like them as second class citizens, which, I guess you can argue that it's equivalent to racism in our society, but in the western world, we don't keep children from attending education just for being different anymore.
I can go on, but i think I made my point. Magic is cool, but I'd be terrified if myself or my children were to be apart of such a dangerous society. I'd like to just use magic for convenience in the muggle world, lol.
yea and their thing like dark lords trying to purge muggles on a yearly bases you would think those dark lord or you now competent people would realise how stupid the ministry and the wizarding world is being and just lift the lid on magic or Uniting the magical world against the Ministry/dark lords/magical world secret.
it completely stupid being soo far back in the stone age when morality and safety is better in the muggle world then the magic world granted it a cover but as soon as the muggle world fully realized what was happen shit would get bad real fast and the Ministry would be facing war crimes and being an ethnos state by the larger world.
Great video!
Do you think that you can make a video about what if squibs break the statue of secrecy? As you said they are not registered by the ministry how can ministry officials come after them?
Then I would find them and KILL THEM.
They would do the same as they do for the wizards.
Thank you for everything that you make and do for us Potter fans, you’re the most amazing person, you’re so sweet and wonderful. You also have such a lovely voice 😍 keep doing what you love and we’ll all be here to support you ❤️❤️
i'd rather be a muggle than a squib to be honest. imagine knowing the wizarding world exists (um awesome!) and being a part of it but actually not able to take part in anything. i would cry
Great video as always keep up the good work
Can you do "What if Regulus survived"? That would be cool.
He would be called regulus black
I love your videos! They're so well done!
I love your videos!! I love the topic of squibs. It broke my heart when i first read about that boy who got denied by the Sorting Hat. I had no idea he became an inspiration and wrote a book lol. Glad he came through in the end
I would ask my parents to modify my memory of magic and send me into the muggle world.
Great video, didn’t know most of this information and even what I did, i got a much better understanding
Yay! Another great video!
I wish i could learn herbology and potions to start my drug empire
If I were a squib, I'd get super into alchemy and potion making.
this was a great video.
I think being a Squib would suck. I would probably do like miss Fig and just live in the muggle world and try and create a life. There are times i felt bad for Filch because I could kind of get his resentment. I use to feel resentment that I couldn't do things my friends could do due to having Cerebral palsy, but there is a time when one must just come to terms with it and build the best life they can.
First one love this vid and ur such a great TH-camr
U literally make my day as I am CRAZY IN LOVE with the books and movie of HARRY POTTER
Good take! I feel you took a nuanced topic you did a fantastic job!
Squib life acceptance: ✔.
Squib lfestyle choice: ✖.
I am of proud Hogwarts Huffelpuff house.. and I am acustomed to the wizarding lifestyle.. 😅😅😅
Plot twist: J.K Rowling is a squib and she just wrote the magical world someone else's perspective
I've had a question in my head for many years - could a Squib use a broomstick? They have dormant magical blood, can see magical creatures and use magical potions... So could they fly a broom? I'd love to see a story about a Squib who challenged prejudice and beat the odds to become a world-class Quidditch player.
if the answer is yes to broom stick then nothing is stopping Squib's from learning spells as all they would need is a channelling device to cast the spell without said device their just a normal muggle but with it they can do magic on a similar lvl to a wizard/witch.
from what we see in the first movie tho a verbal spell is needed to be cast UP and the broom fly's up into your hand this means the magic needs to be active outside you as well as inside as you're Instructing you're magical abilities what to do.
i don't think they can use a broom buut maybe a wand could allow them to use a broom as they mid need and external magical sources to activated magical items
fire need air to grow or fuel you have the fuel just not the ignition to create it.
I feel like there could be schools for squibs that come up with magical subjects that don’t require magic
Such a good vid bro
Could you do a theory about muggleborns being the descendants of squibs
I always thought that was just canonical and not a theory
This is an amazing question... Would I prefer to live never knowing about magic or living within the community of magic that sees me as an insult to magickind? I think I would be one of those that would study magic, but live my life as a muggle. This way, I could research it to my heart's content but not suffer the disapproving eye of my family or community.
You could also write books about the wizarding world for muggles but market them as fiction.
Michele Minor *HMmMMmmmmM*
@@micheleminor1106 Hmm. Maybe JK Rowling is a squib.
Is it safe to say Filch is the Mr. Moseby of Hogwarts?
basically, lol, he's all about rules
Yeah, it's safe to say that
Filch I'd say is actually the luckiest squib. Yeah he might not be able to do magic but he still gets to experience all the wonder and beauty that Hogwarts offers. And if he had a different attitude about it, then he would've been given a lot more credit for being the main man that keeps Hogwarts at the high standard its known for in terms of appearance and other areas
The question is does potions require magical skills? Since it’s essential a science, I’d definitely dedicate myself to the more scientifically minded side of magic
Yeah I feel like there are definitely things Squibs should be able to do (and be successful at) in the magical world
Darren Harvey While it’s never mentioned in the books, when Pottermore still had games, and now in Hogwarts Mystery, the player used their wand to finish a potion when it was done brewing.
Most potions require a spell at the end To make the substances do anyting . They could be a potion makers assistant or work in a factory that produces sleekez or skele-gro. I'm sure they have to have a potions laboratory for that stuff somewhere
I feel so bad for Angus! Imagine making it as far as the sorting hat only to be told in front of the whole school that you aren't magical. You are a squib. That would be so embarrassing!
If I was a squib, and my parents despised me for it, then I would ask them to place a memory charm on me, and make me forget that I was born in a magical house, or there is a magical world at all....
As you wish... obliviate.
@@edmontonboy99 He said if he was a squib! You just erased the memories of a normal wizard!
Honestly, I think Filch would have been an a-hole no matter what his level of magical ability...or lack thereof.
how Dumbledore allows him to stay at Hogwarts is a mistery.
I wonder if there was ever a squib who’s magic laid dormant for so long, then one day something happened & that gene awakens (gene regulation) & develops magical abilities later in life (like 40-60). That would be interesting.
I've imagined squibs working as liaisons between the magical and the mundane. In my stories I created a Wizarding Affairs division of the Secret Service. Their function is to resolve disputes between wizards and Muggles especially where the Muggles know about magic. The agents are squibs and Muggles from partly magical families.
I've also imagined them going into law and practicing in Queen's court and before the Ministry of Magic.
Carlos Wilson That sounds like a great story. I read one similar to yours that even involved the Queen.
@@lisac9522
Good Lisa. Mine is not published yet. There are actually several stories where I involve Wizarding Affairs. I also involve Crown wizards who advise the Queen on matters relating to the British Ministry of Magic and other magical governments. I got this idea from another fic where there was one Crown Wizard. I made it a staff of seven with a Head Crown wizard. One Crown wizard must be pureblood, one Half-blood and one Muggle-born. The other four can be any blood status but are usually Muggle-born. Feel free to use my ideas. It's not uncommon for fanfic authors to burrow ideas from each other.
My Wizarding Affairs Agents travel in unmarked black sedans. Usually the Crown wizards wear nice Muggle suits so they can pass as Muggles.
To Harry Potter Folklore:
Great video. This one seems to have expanded more on your previous video regarding squib life. And with that said I have 2 comments/questions.
1. My personal answer to your question would be to live my life as a muggle/No-Maj since I know from *first hand experience* what it's like to desperately want something in your life and know you can *NEVER EVER* have it. It would just be easier, especially for a child, to grow up being around a relatively normal way of life than to have him or her being *FORCED* to watch their own family and friends participate in an unusual and supernatural yet exciting, challenging and fun lifestyle while they're *CONSTANTLY* being reminded that they'll never be able to experience what it's like to be one of them. Also....
2. Either to spare themselves or their children from embarrassment or simply because they wanted their children to grow up with the same type of lifestyle advantages that they had when they were their children's age, would it be possible (via a certain spell or magical potion) for magical parents to cause the dormant magical gene in their squib children to become active again - I mean if they really really wanted to? Is such a thing even possible or would their be some kind of horrible price to pay for doing that like there is for creating a horcrux? Just wondering.
Again, great video!!
Can Squibs give birth to magical children? There's a theory I once heard that Colin and Dennis Creevey's parents were both Squibs, since being Muggles and having two Magical children seems an extreme rarity.
ladycplum They STILL pass down the magic gene. That’s literally were “muggle born” came from. Muggle born wizards are descendants of squibs that chose to live in the Muggle world.
Definitely not know to begin with. Great video, as always!
Suggestions:
--What if Bellatrix Lestrange Survived?
--What if Grindelwald escaped in book 6?
--What if LV killed HP in the graveyard? Pt. 2
--What if Albus Potter was an Obscurial?
--What if Remus Lupin killed Antonin Dolohov?
--What if Barty Crouch Jr. never got the Dementor's Kiss?
--What happens to your soul after the Dementor's Kiss?
It might be worth exploring "Why wasn't Percy Weasley in Slytherin house?" He was extremely ambitious, a primary trait of that house. It would have made a lot of sense considering how badly he wanted to achieve status, even to the point of becoming Fudge's lickspittle.
I don’t think I could handle life as a squib, I have a strong enough inferiority complex without having to see actual wizards running around, thank you.
Here are my questions & requests
What if Hermione was sorted into ravenclaw?
What if Sirius survive the duel with Bellatrix?
What if Dumbledore lived?
What if Ron was a Hufflepuff?
What if Harry Died?
What would happen if Severous Snape survived
Life of Gernumbli gardensi
Life of Madam Hooch
Life of Hagrid
What if Regulas Black survived?
Thank you these are my questions & requests
I would rather be a muggle and not know the wizarding world existed than suffer like that
I would rather be a Squib if it meant I could get a magical cure for my learning and/or physical disability. Sure, I would not be able to preform magic, but I would get the blessing of largly normal muggle level of functioning.. Plus, I could use magical plants/items for stuff.
Squibs lives are really sad ☹️ but you know i like the ideas that jk puts into the books such as this it just shows us how even the magical world is rough and not cause they have powers means everything is easy 🤷🏻♀️
Here are some video suggestions:
1. Can avada kedavra kill ANY living creature? Ex: would it be able to kill dragons?
2. What would happen if someone drank polyjuice potion that had hair from multiple people?
3. Does someone need to murder a human to make a horcrux, or could they murder animals/magical creatures to make one?
4. What if Dumbledore didn't try on the ring?
5. Can someone's animagus form be a magical creature such as a hippogriff, phoenix, dragon, etc.?
6. Would someone be able to gain another wizard's powers by using polyjuice potion? Ex: could a muggle use magic if they turned into a wizard, could someone speak parseltongue if they turned into a wizard who's a parselmouth, would someone be able to use an animagus's powers if they turned into one, etc.?
7. What if Dumbledore hired Snape as the DADA professor before Harry's 6th year?
Ooh these are some really good questions
If I'm not mistaken i believe Dumbledores patronus was a Phoenix
1. Most likely
2. .... That'd be worse than Hermione with the cat hair
3. Most likely murder a person, hence why it's dark magic
4. Good question, he probably wouldn't have figured out it was a Horcrux
5. Everyone I have seen was a normal animal so possibly no or it'd be super rare
6. I doubt it
7. Then Snape woulda died or left Hogwarts for some reason cause DADA is cursed.

Makes me think about can you even play quittich if you dont have magical abilities?
Gotta be able to fly...
Well you need magic in order to fly a broom so no
But if the magic makes you fly on the broom you can pretty much fly on everything there must be something magical about the brooms
NEXUS VSTGN the brooms sure do possess magic but that doesn’t mean anybody could ride
Actually you could except brooms are Charmed against Muggles and won't fly for them. The magic in a broom (unless it's corkeded) is put in by the manufacturer and does not come from the wizard.
I would like 2 hear about a specific Squib school.
I'd say it's being born a Squib is just as bad as being Muggle born, because both have to suffer the same persecution.
It’s far worse. Being a muggleborn would be exciting. One day you find out you can do magic and then you’re introduced into a whole new world and go to a school where they teach you to do shit like Levitate objects and Transform items into other items. Some pure bloods don’t like you but now you can do magic so who cares?
And also a cool fact when a squib is born a go few lines down that’s what creates a muggle born.
Where does this channel get all this info from on Harry Potter. It’s so interesting💜
Hopefully you do a video on how Harry wasn’t destroyed by the Basilisks due to him being a horcrux
Kuchi Kopi yea I hear that all the time but he’s still a Horcrux he should’ve been destroyed as soon as the fang penetrated his arm doesn’t matter if fawkes cried on the wound it’s the principle of the subject why didn’t he immediately get destroyed
Kuchi Kopi I don’t care what jk Rowling says she can’t alter the story after it’s already finished the fact remains a basilisks fang can destroy a horcrux so it doesn’t matter if fawkes cried on the wound Harry should’ve been destroyed as soon as the fang penetrated his arm doesn’t matter what the author says why write a book and then try to change the story when it’s all said and finished
Kuchi Kopi the author says a lot of dumbass things when the whole story is over you can’t add shit when it’s done
Kuchi Kopi wow. I saw this comment and I thought, “Yay, I’ll make a video on that on my HP channel.” You killed that idea 😔. No hard feelings tho lol
Lmao this comment thread though 😂
Could u do what if Draco was squib
Like how is father would treat him x
He'd probably disown/kill him and then kill/divorce his wife for failing to birth a magical son o.O
Draco would be a houseelf
Lucius would Avada kedavra on him
What's worse: Being the only squib in the family or being a muggle with a muggleborn witch/wizard as a sister/brother? Imagine how isolated you must feel. Imagine finding out that everything described in the Harry Potter-books is real, but you can never be part of it!
As a disabled person, I have felt this in a way. So I don't really have to try hard to imagine it. The parallels to real life are already there.
Absolutely rather have never known. Being in that amazing world and not being able to do anything would be just awful, especially since you had no control and your genes were like, "nope, screw you, you don't get to have this."
What if j.k. Rowling is actually a squib and shared her story of her type?
There really does not seem to be much in the way of information on what Squibs and Muggles can do that are magical. However, here is what I believe to be true:
They may not be able to use magic in the sense of wands and solo broom riding, however, the invisibility cloak I think would definitely be able to work on a muggle or squib. Also, if a wizard drove you on an enchanted vehicle such as a broomstick, a flying car, carriage, or flying motorcycle, you could presumably still be able to travel with them. IMO nothing would stop you from tagging along. Also, you would definitely still be able to view moving pictures and eat magical food like berty botts every flavored beans and chocolate frogs. So that to me implies that you could drink magical potions as well, specifically the elixir of life sort of thing or drink unicorn blood presumably???? In fact, we do know for a fact that Tom Riddle Sr drank a love potion and that's why he fell in love with Voldemort's mother. JK Rowling has really not touched on these concepts at all so we don't really have canon here. But what about thestrals? In the series it is only told to us that if you have witnessed death, you can see thestrals. So I would assume that you could ride a thestral or a hippogriff as a non magical person. ALSO, I feel like you can definitely become a vampire or werewolf as a muggle or squib. And as we already know, werewolves are OP. Snape, Sirius Black, Harry, Ron, AND Hermione all pretty much got bodied by Remus Lupin and Remus was only a fledgling werewolf. Snape, who is a top tier death eater got one shot by Lupin. Care for magical creatures, herbology, muggle studies, magical studies, art, music, etc.
Also low key Harry killed the Basilisk and destroyed Tom Riddle's diary without magic. He killed the Basilisk with the sword of Godric Gryffindor and then took one of the Basilisk teeth and destroyed the diary with that. He was then healed by Fawkes. So all of that was non magical imo. I think really any sword would have been able to kill the Basilisk actually seeing as the massive curse that the sword gained was gained after it was embued with Basilisk venom. So a muggle with a well crafted sword and ten ton balls of steel would have also been able to kill the thing. And of course if you kill the Basilisk, you can take a tooth and kill horcruxes with it. And parseltongue is 100% learnable confirmed as we see Ron learn it by listening to Harry talk in his sleep.
So you can speak to snakes, become a werewolf or vampire (or both), befriend magical creatures such as Thestrals, Hippogriffs, Phoenixes, House Elves, Goblins, etc. and gain their benefits, use potions, have your wizard friends take you for rides in their flying Lamborghinis, etc. And you can certainly kill wizards as a muggle. It's kind of the reason wizards hate muggles. Also, muggles don't have access to wands, but they do have access to guns, swords, etc. So muggles can 100% do most things wizards do. I mean let's be real we hardly ever saw Harry use a spell for the first couple books.
Love your vids the most even MovieFlames❤❤❤💋
There was also mentioned very, very briefly in the first book that there was a squib in the Weasley family that was alive at the time of the series. He became an accountant. He wasn't shunned and thrown out but was never able to see alot of his pureblood family
