The Dark Origin of Azkaban and the Dementors

- Sometime in the late 15th century, the fortress that would eventually come to be known as Azkaban was created.
In these times, it wasn’t a prison. It was something much worse. In fact, after it was eventually taken over by the Ministry of Magic, those who had investigated refused to speak of the horrors they had found within.
Among those horrors, dementors, possibly the darkest, most vile creatures in all of the Wizarding World.
How is it these creatures were not only allowed to stay at Azkaban, but given full control as guardians of a new wizard prison?

Did you know Azkaban wasn't originally a prison? 😬
Hopefully no Death Eaters had kids to pursue this. Hopefully Dementors don't get any funny ideas of their own. Hopefully no one breeds them and makes a Dementor Army.
Hopefully a lot of things never happen.
Lore videos are a great avenue that I strongly support you perusing!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. There's one I'm planning that involves a Hogwarts Legacy lore piece I haven't seen anyone discuss yet!
Yes! I agree. Would LOVE to see more!❤
@@Sarah_Shine Thanks, Sarah!
Hp lore? I'm so down. ✊
This one took me longer than I expected it would, haha. But I think you guys are gonna enjoy it!
I love lore videos!
It's so fun doing these deep dives! Even as someone who's been a fan of the series for years, I learn something new when I do them.
This was beautifully presented - you should definitely do more Harry Potter lore video. Well done 👍
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely have plans for more! There's a specific Hogwarts Legacy one I want to do that I haven't seen anyone talk about yet.
@@RetroRaconteur Ooooh, now I'm really curious
Ekrizdis or Patronus is my vote for next lore video. Well done Retro
Thanks, James! Not sure I could find enough to go much deeper on Ekrizdis, but the patronus charm would be a perfect follow-up to this one, I think!
@@RetroRaconteur if you’re taking suggestions, idk if you know but McGonagall has quite the backstory which isn’t very well known by most as it isn’t really touched on in the books, so could make for an interesting video imo
Also the whole Helena Ravenclaw and Bloody Baron thing shocked me when I first learned about it. Ah man these suggestions I’m making are both kinda tragic 😅. Maybe a video on the process to become an Animagus would be cool, more uplifting lol. I can just imagine the crazy ways the marauders tried to hide keeping a leaf in their mouth from McGonagall for a month 😂
Great video, love the premiere idea. Perhaps you can run lore videos on a schedule if you have the time.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great video Retro, Ive always thought Eckrisdis erected the island as a source for his inhumane experiments & cruelty, or he could have possibly found it while he was allready mad, & over the years of his torture of those unfortunate to encounter him, the atmosphere would have changed for the worse.
I thought Isadora was unintentionally doing what Eckrisdis did but on a lesser scale, drain a person's life-force so that they'll become so obsessed with reclaiming it but its never enough, but her intention was to heal or takeaway.
Im hoping dementors will be a new foe in the sequel, where the patronus will be a must.
Loved this lore video, perhaps you could do a video on the unforgiveables, when were they first constructed, the horrors that followed their destruction, the banning of them in 1717 & the contiued use of them.
Have a great day :)
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Interesting thoughts on Isidora too.
@RetroRaconteur Thanks Retro 😊 yeah I thought the devs were going to touch on Eckrisdis through Isadora.
Though again I thought that she accidentally re discovered how to drain a person's life force unaware of how that very well me be the process on how to create dementors. Thanks again 👍
I did, but I love a good lore video! Most excellent work, sir Retro thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
The amount of Hufflepuffs I watched go to Azkaban and then still decided to turn Sebastian in made me so mad. That is a fate that should be reserved only for the worst.
Yeah...I think what Seb did is terrible and he deserves punishment...but very few truly deserve Azkaban. And it should definitely be off the table for minors! Also to be fair, the game never says he went to Azkaban. If you turn him in, Ominis says "He's been expelled - and will soon face trial at the Ministry."
Thanks for this! Lore is the best!
Aww, Steph A, thanks so much!!! 😊 Glad you enjoyed it.
Had no idea there was lore about the Dementors beyond what was said in the books, they're such an interesting creature (or I guess non being) concept
Yeah, it's pretty dark 😬
Did Rowlings write all this lore after publishing the books?
Much of it is available on the Wizarding World website, formerly known as Pottermore.
Great video 🙌
Thank you 👍🏻
Please more lore videos, and the way you express the description of Dementor - like a form of dementia as they slowly took away memories from prisoners.
I thought that Sirius escape was the first because he didn't have help. He unlike Barty younger who didn't he needed his parents.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What an amazing lore video!
Thanks, Arvin! Glad you enjoyed it.
Retro is getting deeper into voice acting! Love it!
Hahaha. I thought, why not give it a shot to add a little something extra to the video? 😅
@@RetroRaconteur It was the best! I was like ... WAH?! Definitely support doing more of that!
This sounds like some *_Star Wars_* levels of darkness, man. 😬
I would so dig an entire film dedicated to the history of Azkaban and the Dementors!
Curious, is Eldrich Diggory an ancestor of Cedric's?
Great video 🎉
Yooo, Cloud! Good to see your name, my friend. And thanks for the kind words on the video.
Love this it was good
Thank you, Danelle!
I really enjoyed this ! Understanding Wizarding World Lore is growing my passion for Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts & Hogwarts Legacy ! Thank you...i was literally concerned about their origin and how they came to work with the Ministry of Magic today ! Thanks for this...really, I've not read the books...I'm just so impressed by how a human being ( J.K. Rowling ) can create this fascinating and intriguing world ! It's beautiful
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful.
@@RetroRaconteur 🙏🙌💯🔥
It’s ironic how dementors are humanlike and patronus’ are animals…
I'd love to see a house founders video. Did you generate the AI images yourself?
That one is on my list of possibilities! Yep, I generated the images. While it's a powerful tool, it does take a while to get them *just* right. Quite a few that looked nothing like what I needed, lol.
Nice vid, if you have time and ideas i think we'd enjoy more like it :)
Thanks, Alex! Appreciate you sharing that you enjoyed it. Definitely have plans for more.
Is it possible that dementors of azkaban were once muggles? I mean if acristus tortured muggles that stumbled on the island what if torture included horrible experiments? Whatever achristus did to muggles could've triggered their transformation into dementors as a result especially if he experimented on them too. It's reasonable assumption.
This is cool
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed the vid.
I've always found Azkaban's use as a prison horrifying. Like, no one, no matter what their crimes, deserves that kind of cruel and unusual punishment.
For sure! It's just awful and only when you look at the history do you see how it was allowed to go on for so long.
I'd say it should be for the worst criminals, not for the common thief, & the cases should be looked at instead of an automatic Azkaban sentence.
Oh you stole my apple ?🍎 OFF TO AZKABAN WITH THEE!! 🔓
@@BLUEnOVA360JR No, not even the worst criminals. Being exposed to creatures who take all your hope and drive you insane is torture and not something a civilised society should do.
@@KuningannaSansathink it was a good way of showing the government in Harry Potter wasn’t fair at all. They looked down on lesser beings, they were corrupt, and would send people to askaban without a trial.
@@davidfairweather3301 oh yeah, absolutely
Awesome video! Still think I fear Lethifolds more than Dementors....but that's just me.
Haha. They're pretty creepy, that's for sure 😅
@dylanmcleod5489 You know it would interesting to see what effect a patronus would have on a lethifold 🤔 We've allready seen how dementors react, but never in the series have we seen a lethifold or its reaction.
Would be cook to have both as foes in the sequel in dungeons or long abandoned 🏰
@@BLUEnOVA360JR from what I've read, the patronus charm is the only way to defend oneself from a lethifold.
@dylanmcleod5489 Would be good to see the charm in action against a lethifold.
I had thought of using the dementors miserable, decaying presence against them that, along with their soul drain/ dementors kiss.
a charm or curse, similar to a black hole or decaying curse where it crushes them out of existence or decays them to ashes both skeleton & cloak.
Then again maybe aim thinking about this the wrong way.
They are amongst the most foul creatures on earth. Would make for a good fiction.
I agree, Dylan! Seeing as Lethifolds are basically paper-thin cloak-like killer creatures, only able to warded off by a powerful enough Patronus charm, they're terrifying! They can creep up on someone silently, even while they're sleeping. Dementors, on the other hand, have a disadvantage in their "death rattle" breathing, which gives them away (as does the cold sensation they cause).
I feel Hogwarts Legacy should have introduced Azkaban or at least Dementors. That way you'd also have your Wizarding world patronus in the game too not just your wand.
Yeah, I was holding out hope for an Azkaban DLC with the Patronus charm, but doesn't look like that will happen. Also, you do get to see Azkaban briefly if you play as a Hufflepuff.
It would be terrifying if they could evolve.
Fortunately, Grindelwald and Voldemort never pursued this.
Makes anyone want to pursue The Light Arts and/or becoming a Light Witch or a Light Wizard
This is stuff WB should create series about. And not a reboot ;( We want a voldemort orgin story series please ❤❤❤❤
Oh my, could you imagine a TV series that explores the original discovery of the island and then the aftermath of wizards wrestling with what they should do from there?!
Is it a reboot or a readaptaion. If this series is a reboot, then so is the Peter Jackson lord of the rings
Dude, I’d be so stoked. If a big machine like Disney Netflix or HBO made a series like that origin story for Voldemort it would be unreal or a timeline life story of Albus Dumbledore.
@@tgiacin435 I've been using "reboot," but perhaps I'm using it incorrectly? The show will tell the story of the original 7 books. New cast, new writers, etc.
Simone should do lore for Narnia and its other realms .
The woods between and the realm the white witch came from and the uncles connection to fairy’s and Atlantis
I hope we see some of this lore in a Hogwarts legacy sequel I’d love to free roam Azkaban Island and the prison and be able to use the Patronus Charm on dementors during mass breakout and fight dark wizards you put away in the previous game
Rewatching this for the second time after the premiere has me wondering if a Dementor’s kiss could have destroyed horcruxes.. 🤔 Suck Voldy’s bits of soul out of them
😱 That’s really interesting to think about!
I do wonder what other things were on Azkaban when it was discovered, as dementors on the azkaban were described as the least horrifying thing on it.
Right?! What else was that man doing in there 😬😬😬
Where did you find this information??
The books, the HP Lexicon, HP Wiki and the official Wizarding World website site. Also, the sources are listed in the video description.
I love lore videos.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wonder if there is something like an opposite creature to dementors besides technically patronus’
And then the world would be equally guarded but then again them fighting against each other would be brutal so id make both not able to fight each other into the charm or spell
Can someone explain to me why the Dementors would continuously follow Voldy given that he can’t produce a patronous and they can just end him soon after he wins. Ol’ Voldy had to know this.
My question is: Voldemort was the 'leader' of the Dementors for a while, but after his death does Happy take over as their new leader?
Ahh now I feel bad for the dementors. They just looking for a little sucky sucky and then they get kicked out of their home.. sad
Lore!
The dementors are the worst thing about prison.
I had assumed Dementors were made things.
I wonder what Ekrizdis' ultimate goal was. He really did just build a fortress, torture some sailors, and disappear. >_>
A very disturbed individual 😅
More such videos? please?
More lore videos are in the works!
where did the footage come from a Game ?
The one of a character walking around the prison? Yeah, that was from Hogwarts Legacy.
Date Dolores Umbridge one time OR go to Azkaban for a year?
😆😆😆
Wow the demetors are worse than the dark arts that figures at least with dark arts you still die with you soul but not with demetors
can you do to werewolf tapestry in Hogwarts legacy
Rowling adds stuff like
"oh magical community just pooped themselves and vanished it before they adopted Muggle plumbing."
And I'm like... Oh... Okay.
Then she adds stuff like this and I'm like okay maybe i dont hate all the additional info.
LOL. That whole poop thing is something I try to erase from my memory 😅
I'm so glad I chose not to send Sebastian to this dark place. When the justice system isn't just, one must find the true light to guide those who lost their ways. I made the right choice.
❤❤❤
Appreciate the comment, Dave!
@@RetroRaconteur Welcome Brother, You’re content is amazing and on another level , keep it up!
So Sirius wasn't the first
Police this!
I played as a Hufflepuff and got to do the Azkaban mission. My partner was Ravenclaw and mad his special mission was just to the owlery. 😂
Yeahhh…the other houses definitely got shorted on that 😅
@@RetroRaconteur they really did! My partner was so annoyed he didn’t get to see Azkaban! I ended up redoing that mission cause I thought it was definitely a good one.
Good hp lore, little clips of hogwarts legacy, lovely stuff
Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Hiding don't really solve the issue either dudes
Ps it's no wonder why there was even a wizards and witches vs common folk because the no magic knucklehead just don't know when to keep their opinions to themselves and generally have no commonsense whatsoever
I know it's probably on purpose but the music.... just no
Moonlight Sonata...
Let’s gooooo!!!!
Thanks for the support, House!
Ekrizdis was fucked up
He had some issues, that's for sure 😅
Love the lore
Thanks!
