There are several mentions of them going to their afterlives still on the living plane and their souls being bound there, but I also heard that this is incorrect. I could have sworn Sir Nickolas (or someone in the Harry Potter world) said that ghosts are not the people who died, but a sort of existential stamp of the soul on this plane in the process of the soul passing on. EDIT: After listening to audiobooks, I was reminded that it was Snape who, after getting the Defense Against the Dark Arts position in Half-Blood Prince, asked the class the difference between a ghost and an inferi. After one student had given a bad answer, Snape told about how a ghost was an imprint left by a passing soul, and also that only a soul of a magical being could end up doing it. It still seems to support the postulate that the actual person/soul isn't what lingers after death, but a copied imitation.
i like the theory of filch being the opposite side to peeves's chaotic energy. the theory states filch is ALSO a poltergeist. while peeves is the embodiment of the chaos of having so many magical kids around filch is the embodiment of the taming of those rules. why else would dumbledor make a squib run around cleaning up after magical kids that could clean things in a heartbeat themselves, making him be around all this magic when he cant do magic himself? all he does is work himself to the bone, he never sleeps and is always patrolling the corridors at night and spends his every moment battling peeves. it would be entirely cruel, but him being a poltergeist makes sense bc then dumbledor is simply LETTING him be there and just do what he does.
Dumbledore made a werewolf friend a professor, putting students at risk while also knowing something terrible could happen to him at the end of the year preventing him from returning as dada professor the next year, him making a squib a custodian isn’t the worst he’s done
@@thomaspaine7098 lupin was a very capable and trustworthy individual, dumbledor never did something terrible to anyone just bc he could. what you are suggesting is vile.
I have a theory that Filch's cat is actually an animagus bestie that hates humans enough to not change back. That's why he's always talking to her like a person.
The Fat Friar's insistence to remain earthbound and his forgiveness is a continuous rebuke to the church that claims to teach his principles however, always seems to come up short.🤔
Serious question for any fellow Catholics that may stumble across this comment: if the Fat Friar is a priest (and you never stop being a priest; the sacrament of Holy Orders leaves an indelible mark on your soul), can he hear confessions and give valid absolution? After all, confession doesn’t require any physical interaction, just talking.
11:20 The concept of an eternal soul has no place in Christianity- it was invented by Plato, using the word for "breath of life" which when God withdraws it, we die. No human can grant " absolution" for harmatia/ sins: we are enjoined only "trespasses" /debts owed by one person to others. The portmanteau word Kata olios means "According to the whole". Which according to the second Ecumenical Council means the seven Ecumenical Councild . Cunctos populos of the Emperor Theodosius I allows all who adopt the teachings of the Council of Nicea to call themselves "Catholic Christians. Tne Nicene formula recognises two realities in the Divine being - the general or Divine Nature and the three hypostaseis or individual realities,- ie the Father, Son and Spirt are the true reality of God and so can act to forgive sin and so offer salvation through faith. This has always been denied by the Latin rite whose dogmatic position is set out by Aquinas in Pars I q 39 as una substantia, tres personae . You should realise that, although Hobbes used the Latin wor when he developed the modern concept in that 17th century, at all relevant time, including the present, the Latin word meant "a mask used by actors" according to the Oxford Latin Dictionary - and John Zizoulas. The Latin God is the impersonal substantia while the Three are mere theatrical masks who cannot forgive sin. The adherents of Rome are The only cult debarred from calling themselves "catholic" and only if they develop faith in Christ and the triune God - not faith in their church- despite their affiliation, have any access to the unconditional promise of God.
@@kylehanna4885 Yeah, my friends all say it depends on whether he has faculties. They’re not sure whether he would by default keep his faculties or by default lose them. Being in contact with the bishop for whatever diocese Hogwarts is in would require that bishop to know about magic. And then there’s the question of whether he would belong to that diocese or to the one where he died. The thought of the Fat Friar hearing confessions makes me happy. Regardless of whether he has faculties, he can hear confessions in an emergency, so I like to think he floated around the Battle of Hogwarts hearing confessions. But can he wear the purple stole if his color scheme is all white and silver???
@RebeccaBaumgarten-cj9ot I don't believe friars wear stoles. And any catholic can give confession and last rites in an extremity. Alas, I sincerely hope the friars local bishop did not know about magic. You know what catholics do to witches, yes? .... unless, of course, that's why he's a ghost.
This popped up on auto play. Sounded like Stephen Fry (a bit). Never read or seen Harary Potter. I remember when it was popular, middle aged women would be reading it on the train. Maybe they read it to their kids at night-time? And they were keeping ahead with the strange names?
He became a poltergeist because the school was full of children, there was so much mischief going on because of so many kids being in one place he materialized (in a way) out of that mischief, it created him. That's also why he is himself mischievous
A question for meninogui: Where did the information on Duncan Ashe come from? I have only encountered him in the Hogwarts Mystery game. I don't recall him from canon, but then I am not completely caught up on the prequel trilogy. I.e. since you include him but do not include anything about him the game it seems like he must be in canon somewhere, yet the Wiki talks ONLY about his background from the game. Anyway it piqued my curiosity. Am I the only one?

That chapter should have been added. It explains a lot about the ghosts. Very interesting.
Thank you for this. It's wonderful to hear.
Hi! Where are the pictures from ? 😍
Actually learnt some new stuff, cheers

Wasn't it stated that it was a favor to Filch's parents? Charity like letting Hagrid stay, and hiding his broken wand?

@@thomaspaine7098 but he was able to take the wolfsbane potion now , so safer , much safer than when Lupin was a student..

Why is it Always the most important things are left out the most important life lesson's ❤🙏
I don't want you to learn how to think for yourself so I keep these things from you so that you think what I want you to.
the unpublished verse sounds like something John Cleese would write .. so very suitable.
Fantastic!

Thorny subject depending on which order he was in, what century he's from and whether he was cordial with the local bishop.

When you meet a ghost frier, let us know, I'm sure they will tell you.

it’s a wonderful read at all ages .. Rowling is a brilliant author.
Very interesting!
I wish they kept it in.
I wish Severus Snape had become a ghost
why?
I'm wondering why at 6:07 there's a horse with antlers in the picture? Have I missed it as a magical beast?
probably harrys stag, not sure why the artist gave it a horse tail maybe they didnt know deer dont have horse tails? or do they? i dont think they do.
It’s a ponydeer.
@@williamhively3295 no its not.
Wait--Nearly-Headless Nick is a living example?

Who was peeves
He became a poltergeist because the school was full of children, there was so much mischief going on because of so many kids being in one place he materialized (in a way) out of that mischief, it created him. That's also why he is himself mischievous

The game is the only time I have ever heard of him (Duncan) I have just finished listening to the books again and NO he was never mentioned.
