On the discussion about the keeper of the hall of prophecies. How does the prophesies even work in the first place? Like how do they change from a random person just making a prediction to a physical orb objects that are all perfectly placed in one room in the basement of the wizard’s government building, that nobody can touch but the subject? Because it seems like a weirdly specific thing to just be “the way it is”, right? Like someone at some point must’ve done something to make sure all the prophecies got to the department of mysteries, to make the room accomodate every single new prophecy because surely the room must expand over time as well? So probably the keeper of the hall of prophesies is someone who upholds this magic, whatever it is. It makes sense for _someone_ to have to do it. But to be fair the entire department of mysteries is just literally 12 rooms full of endless questions. Forget a founders or mauraders tv show I want a ministry of magic show following both the aurors and the unspeakables as they work.
So headcanon: Dolohov could not use the killing curse while he was muffled. and or he wasnt sure if he could. so he used his own curse which defenetely would have been easily enough to kill Hermione without the shield charm AND him having to do it silently. That would explain why there was no killing curse.
Love when J got a little too distracted by the hand motions at the beginning and said "but if we both have no idea, Kangaroo Cat can give us all of the answers" lol
@@noend85d I can. Towels are often worn on the lower body, their seated so their lower body isn't visible. Also the comment section, is below the video.
Rebastin LeStrange I think was Bellatrix’s brother in law. I think her husband was Rodolphus. I believe he was with the two of them when they tortured Neville’s parents.
Nelville accidentally kicks the prophecy because tarantallegra was used on him which caused his legs to dance uncontrollably. Reducio is the spell for reducing the size of objects, but reducto sounding like reduce also confuses me...
I got eight. I DID NOT remember that last one. Like, nowhere was it on my brain desk. I don't think it was even in a brain filing cabinet. My brain is a very disorganized office, though.
I was able to hold a brain bare-handed in health class. It was an interesting experience until I realized I was holding what was essentially everything that made up a person. Then I got a little freaked out.
I like the idea other people mention that Dolohov couldn't cast the killing curse non verbally. I however suggest, that he chose not to kill Hermione because if he did he'd have lost leverage over Harry. He immediately threatens Harry with the same spell, and later tries to use it on Harry, while he still has the prophecy. Harry blocks it so it was not very effective, but this makes me pretty sure he was choosing to use a less lethal spell.
J has been clearing the whole screen at once for a long time, and Ben has asked about it before. But i’m too Ben-like to remember exactly which video that was.
Goat brain is actually a delicacy in India. The dish is called "Bheja Fry", "bheja" literally meaning "brain". So I'm sure millions of people have held brains.
Broderick Bode was in my least read book. Not because it is bad just because the abuse by umbridge bothers me. So I would not have known his name had it not been for the intro so thanks guys.
I think the confusion is increased because of the movie. We see Ginny use it before and while she blasts a hole into the floor she also shrinks the manequin in the Room of Requirments instead of blasting it appared.
@@sawanna508 That shrinking spell bit has always annoyed me. I can’t remember if it’s Ginny or someone else but whoever it is says Diminuendo in the movie. That isn’t even a spell, it’s a musical direction for play quieter!
S.c.b I have a theory the theory is that peter pan is a Serial killer because he kills the lost boys before they get to old can yall explore this theory
Dolohov's purple flame spell was non verbal because he was silenced so he probably couldn't cast AK non verbally. That and it's probably his signature spell.
i would guess that its a great duel ender spell, but leaves you options depending on needs. Like if you need them alive, you can keep them alive and they can be healed or you can leave them and escape or just take time to kill them if you need to kinda thing, its more resourceful than AK which only gives you one option. that and there may have been orders not to kill any of the three becuase if you can get either hermione or ron then you can lure harry with them...
I heard that the reason that most Death Eaters don’t use the killing curse is actually really simple. They just…can’t. It’s a very complicated spell to cast correctly and you have to have complete and absolute hatred toward the target for it to work. Most Death Eaters probably couldn’t cast the spell correctly for one reason or another. “Avada Kedavra is one of the most challenging spells to perform. It requires intense concentration and hatred of the target, and many wizards and witches lack the concentration needed, or the motivation to kill. It is much easier to incapacitate an opponent for a long period of time; and if you do fling it around too much, you might get really tired or accidentally kill another death eater (this happened during the battle of the lightning-struck tower). Voldemort lacks remorse, and he also has immense magical power and talent, so there is nothing stopping him from using it excessively, like he did when he massacred all the Gringotts staff in the same room as him.”
@@PhoenixFire9732 I guess Snape was motivated by his promise to Dumbledore then 🤔 Cuz in the book it said he had hatred in his eyes when he cast AK at Dumbledore but we also know that was all planned so it could easily have been an act so he didn’t look suspicious in front of the others.
I love how Ben seems so amazed about the clear screen button but the first episode they got the tablets instead of the whiteboards he said he knows you can clear it one button but he likes to still erase
I was just about to comment this! 😂 I remembered in one of their earlier quizzes Ben asked if J liked to erase or clear it so he knew about it at one point at least
My theory on why Dolohov didn't use the Killing Curse is that Avada Kedavra has to be spoken (I destroy as I *speak*) and Dolohov was unable to speak at that point, so he used a different spell.
Can’t believe Ben JUST now noticed that J clears his iPad all at once rather than erasing like he himself does. This is a detail I’ve noticed in every quiz episode ever haha
In the "J vs Ben: ULTIMATE Harry Potter Defense Against the Dark Arts Quiz", the guys use the iPads for the first time and Ben says he likes erasing the board manually because he gets to keep his lucky smudges! Boom!
I'm not sure, but I always thought of Reducto, as reducing the object to its atomic components. That's why you see dust or ash as a result. It's almost as if the object is broken apart into smaller pieces.
The row the prophecy is on was always really significant to me. It's the year the first book came out and the year the prophecy end up becoming true in the books
@@thebeast51 WOW, rude! You could absolutely get the point across and make a request for a change without being insulting to someone who works really hard for SCB (and, btw, doesn't usually laugh this much - there seemed to be a kind of loopy energy with all of them today - & that should be alright without them being called bad people or saying they're not good at their job).
The problem with it is that it simply cannot be Neville. Voldemort only offers Lily the chance to live because Snape asks him, which sets up the sacrificial love charm. Alice Longbottom would not be given the same choice. Therefore, the only way for Voldemort to not win outright is for the Longbottoms to stay hidden. And the problem with that is, that according to Mad-Eye and Lupin, the Order was in dire straits by the time Harry first defeated Voldemort with members picked off one after the other. Based on how badly the Order does even when alerted the moment Voldemort returns the second time, if Harry doesn't stop him, because Neville is the chosen one, at best, they can delay Voldemort from gaining power for another few months. The wizarding world simply doesn't have 11 years to wait for Neville to begin his education. Even if you circumvent this, there remains the fact that without the sacrificial love, Neville would not be anchored to life by Voldemort later, nor is he given the protection of the twin cores. There is just simply no way for Neville to beat Voldemort, not as a baby, nor as a teenager. And so, the prophecy simply cannot be about him.
I know you probably won't see this but I want to thank you guys for your consistent content over these past... Wow, it's almost been a decade of your content. Your neverending love for all things Pixar, Disney, Marvel, Harry Potter... It's very admirable. Stay safe, brothers.
The keeper of the hall of prophecies is one of those things that raises more questions than it answers. We know they labelled and stored Trelawney's prophecy then updated it when they found out Harry was the other party. But that means that somehow they had to know who gave it to who and what it contained. So even if they just appear how did they know it was Sybil to Albus? If Albus reported it to them again why? As you said how do you get this job and why didn't Voldemort just arrange for a minion to get it? Many questions.
what if the keeper is a ghost ? immortal and is the only one with the ability to hold them because he was the first seer or something like that? Idk much HP lore but i think that would be a cool concept
The only thing that came to mind for me stemmed fromwhen they speculated that it might be a Seer. If the Ministry employs a real Seer, then that person could always anticipate danger coming for them which explains why they're never at risk. They could use divination to see what is happening to living prophecy subjects, then update the records as needed. But then beyond that, how and why can they touch the orbs, and where do the orbs even come from? Is that the keeper's real role? But then, here's the thing from a literary perspective. If there's this other person who can touch the prophecy, then why wasn't that the subject of the book?? Why mention them that one time at all? Why wasn't the book about guarding the keeper because they are the vulnerable third party, and then Voldemort pulling a fast one by drawing Harry straight to the Ministry instead?
@@Levacque I can't find it anywhere that Dumbledore says it in chapter 37, the only thing I thought was that the person it was made to could hear it (Dumbledore).
I don't know what it is, but Ben had a different energy today, and I reaaaaaally dug it. I guess they just seemed extra jazzed up. Edit: Jay is also zoinked-up too, and it's a vibe. I'm in love.
There's at least three in the dept of mysteries alone - "Flagrante" and Dolohov's purple flame as mentioned, and the door-sealing "Colloportus" that Hermione uses.
I only now thougth that the veil might've been used for executing magical criminals before the death penalty was abolished in the UK, kinda like that weird room with a chair in Fantastic Beasts in the USA.
I mean we can all agree Ben is better at following along while J is talking, right? Like he always tries to do something himself whereas J just sits there kinda nodding along or looking slightly dead if Ben is talking.
I've watched you guys for 4 years now & I love watching you, ESPECIALLY Harry Potter content, but I'm ashamed I don't know why you call it the towel section for comments? Please educate me J & Ben 💙 #Ravenclawforthewin
They actually tweeted about it once - I gather the phrase got coined in one of their older videos called “42 Uses for a Towel”. Although I don’t know if it was meant to be a deliberate joke from the start or if it was just a slip of the tongue. P. S. I found the tweet in question: If you have ever wondered why we call the comments the "Towel Section" This is why :: th-cam.com/video/FL1HlATHjTY/w-d-xo.html Happy #TowelDay

I could be wrong but I think Barty crouch jr uses it to make a spider smaller after using it to show the unforgivable curses in the 4th book
It almost feels like reducto was a spell that was made by accident while they were trying to invent what would be reducio.
I'm not sure, but I always thought of Reducto, as reducing the object to its atomic components. That's why you see dust or ash as a result. It's almost as if the object is broken apart into smaller pieces.

@@Levacque I can't find it anywhere that Dumbledore says it in chapter 37, the only thing I thought was that the person it was made to could hear it (Dumbledore).
I still wonder if Trelawny's second prophecy can be found there as well.
Worst part about the bubble head charm thing is that in book 5 EVERYONE is casting bubble head charms on themself to breath instead of the stink
I don't know what it is, but Ben had a different energy today, and I reaaaaaally dug it. I guess they just seemed extra jazzed up.
Edit: Jay is also zoinked-up too, and it's a vibe. I'm in love.
Jay’s so insecure even the people in the comments still need to include him so he doesn’t get jealous.

The prophecy is on row 97, and it gets fulfilled in 1997!!!
You should make a quiz about spells that are only mentioned once 😂
There's at least three in the dept of mysteries alone - "Flagrante" and Dolohov's purple flame as mentioned, and the door-sealing "Colloportus" that Hermione uses.
The reason why the death eater didn't use a spell that could kill Hermione is because he couldn't speak at that time
Listening to these two made me realize something. I wonder how long a game of 7 degrees of Gilderoy Lockhart would take between the two of them.
I only now thougth that the veil might've been used for executing magical criminals before the death penalty was abolished in the UK, kinda like that weird room with a chair in Fantastic Beasts in the USA.
I mean we can all agree Ben is better at following along while J is talking, right?
Like he always tries to do something himself whereas J just sits there kinda nodding along or looking slightly dead if Ben is talking.
I've watched you guys for 4 years now & I love watching you, ESPECIALLY Harry Potter content, but I'm ashamed I don't know why you call it the towel section for comments? Please educate me J & Ben 💙 #Ravenclawforthewin
They actually tweeted about it once - I gather the phrase got coined in one of their older videos called “42 Uses for a Towel”. Although I don’t know if it was meant to be a deliberate joke from the start or if it was just a slip of the tongue.
P. S. I found the tweet in question: If you have ever wondered why we call the comments the "Towel Section"

Happy #TowelDay
