It is very curious indeed that you should be destined for this wand when its brother, gave you that scar. Yes, thirteen-and-a-half inches. Yew." This is the quote from Ollivander. So its yew, 13.5 inches long and has a phoenix feather core is all we know.

Wormtail probably was watching voldemort kill the potters as a rat, seeing his new most powerful ally take out his old. Then taking voldemorts wand in hopes of gaining some of his powers but hides it when it doesn't work for him and retrieved it after prisoner of ascaban

Same. I just turned it on to give it a playthrough, but I had to mute it after 6 minutes. It became too distracting and detracted from the points he was making.
I think Pureblood preferential treatment might be the reason for why Sirius and the Death Eaters were all able to get their wands back. They very well may have been able to have their family homes hold their wands before they went to Azkaban. We know the Ministry and Wizengamot was still corrupt enough to keep some of the more powerful families free. Hagrid wasn’t even fully human so no one important enough was going to argue for him to have his wand held by them other than Dumbledore, who likely pulled enough favors to keep Hagrid out of Azkaban the first time.
I am not sure but didn’t Ollivander himself said in the Deathly Hallows that he had made new wands for all the Death Eaters? Perhaps someone else had made those they had at the Ministry. Ron, for example, had second wand and it served him well, so it may be like the Death Eaters original wands, right?
Peter knew about Voldemorts plan, and realized something went wrong when Voldemort didn’t return soon. The same night he went to the potters, found the wand in the rubbles, and HID it. Before Dumbledore or the ministry could get there. Kept it hidden, somewhere, all the time until Voldemort’s return
That's my idea, I only thought that there is no reason why Peter would not have accompanied Voldie to the Potters house. I can think of many reasons why i did that. I presume there where a lot of people at that house after the incident. Because Dumbledore SEND Hagrid to pick uip Harry. So he allready knew the Potters where dead, but Harry survived. There for somebody must have told him. And that or those person(s) where at the house before Hagrid and would have found Voldies wand. My guess is that the wand was retrevid by a deatheater, beofre anyone else got at the scene. So Voldie was accompanied by a deatheater. It would make sense that is was Peter.

Loving the longerform content, so happy to have y’all’s voice in the background! Some of these vids I even remember when they came out!! Keep up the good work!
I always kind of thought it was obvious how Voldemort found the Chamber. In my mind, it went one of two ways. 1.) He heard about the Hogwarts founders, more importantly Salazar Slytherin, and found out that he was a Parselmouth as well. This would lead him to digging into everything he can find about Slytherin, snakes, and anything remotely connecting himself to Slytherin. 2.) The Basilisk called out to Tom, the way it did with Harry, and told him how to set it free. Where it was and how to get there and all that.
The reason for that autofill with the shampoo is that, back in the day, if you typed in "I hate it when", it gave some super weird autofills like "I hate it when a chinchilla eats the universe" or "I hate it when i'm studying and someone rides a velociraptor through the house" and, yes, you guessed it "I hate it when Voldemort steals my shampoo". Why would that be an autofill? No idea, but noone ever figured any of the others out either.
I was under the impression that Wormtail took Voldy's wand after the attack and then hid it somewhere. He used his own wand to fake his death and left it behind (which may or may not have broken during the explosion). When Wormtail returns to Voldy, he retrieves the hidden wand.
My theory is that it was actually Snape who recovered Voldemort’s wand, but Peter DID acquire it from Snape after he escaped Lupin and Sirius in Prisoner.
I have just thought that Dumbledore may have planned this "Chosen" thing and orchestrated Peter's becoming the secret keeper and then Voldemort's killing the Potters. He pushed Voldemort to this as he thought it was the only option for him to kind of tie the dark wizard. I know it's too dark a theory for a children's book but I like such stuff and it would be great to have the seemingly best character so ruthless "for the greater good"
The Swedish name for Voldemort is even funnier. Because they couldn't find a good way to turn "Jag Är Voldemort" or "Jag Är Lord Voldemort" into an anagram that would make a fitting name. So they just used Latin. So his full name is: Tom Morvolo Gus Dolder (dolder is a play on "dölja" which means 'to hide') And the anagram is Ego Sum Lord Voldemort
I just googled it because I thought you meant a real nose but it's only a painted one. It's funny too but him having a real three dimensional nose would've been hilarious 🤣
My theory is that Peter stole Voldemort’s wand and stashed it somewhere as a insurance policy, he sees the Dark Mark and knows Voldemort isn’t dead, so he goes into hiding and hides the wand in case he’s ever discovered and needs someone to protect him, the wand would be useful as a please don’t kill me gift to Voldemort.
28:30 lol in my language (Danish), they literally changed his name from Tom to Romeo 😂😭 In fact, they changed his entire name to "Romeo G. Detlev Jr." 😂😂😂 The G is for "Gåde" which is the Danish translation of "riddle". But the G, as well as the J and R from junior, had to be included in the name like that. Apparently, that was the only way they could manage to spell out: "Jeg er Voldemort."
The Death Eaters' wands are most likely in the hidden vault in Malfoy Manor. Draco does mention that his father has some "very valuable Dark Arts stuff", so I don't think it's entirely impossible that some Death Eater wands could be in there as well. No idea about Sirius regaining his though. He could just be using a family member's wand - Grimmauld Place was chock full of magical artifacts after all.
6:27 oh, I never read that as him using the wand to transform, but rather just him trying to attain a wand at all. So he could defend himself in chase they caught up with him ..
I hated how Voldy disintegrated in the movie. The book was perfect because Voldemort always considered himself practically an immortal god, but he died like an ordinary man. No fanfare, no magical aftereffects, just a corpse hitting the ground. His disintegrating in the movie made his death seem special and honestly, put in doubt that he even was dead. In these types of movies, if you don't see the body, they're not dead, especially considering a disintegrating body was what happened the first time he tried to kill Harry (otherwise if he had left a body there wouldn't have been any mystery as to what happened to him)
Now I can just see this giant snake slithering through Hogwarts like nothing’s wrong and scaring the kids in the halls but he just slithers through the school, wearing his cool sunglasses and just chilling 😂
⚠️Off topic from video, day eight of asking for what ifs⚠️ 1: What if Dudley went to Hogwarts? I think he'd be a Hufflepuff and be pretty good at defense against the dark arts and I think it would be fun to have him be good at divination cause none of the golden trio are good at or even seem to respect it. 2: What if Aang died with the other Air nomads and one of the other main characters eventually became the Avatar? I think the most interesting would be Sokka and Zuko. 3: What if Prim became the Mockingjay? The only way I see this happening is if Katniss gets caught hunting and either gets killed or sent to the Capital and becomes an avox, a year or two before Prims game so she gets some survival skills not as good as Katniss but better than nothing.
2. Well Sokka or Katara as the next one would be Southern water tribe... Or maybe it would have been their mother and moved on to Toph as she too got killed. It was 100 years after all.
@@elderscrollsswimmer4833 Yeah I'll admit other than the fire nation just really being on top of who the next avatar is for a hundred I'm not a hundred percent sure how to get past that hurtle... Maybe the avatar spirit knows somehow the best thing to do is wait a hundred years?
I feel like a better explanation for the wand wouldve been that it was collected by Aurors and stored in some area of the ministry. Then when Voldemort was om the path to return one of his loyalists in the ministry retrieved it. This could also have been used to build out thr universe. Explain that the wands of criminals are stored in some magical containment. Use this to build out wand lore about the connection between wand and wizard. Perhaps it's useful in investigation, trying to determine all the horrible things Voldemort did they may not know yet. Or perhaps it's deemed a truly horrible thing to in the Wizarding world to destroy a wand given their sentience. That would require a retcon on Hagrids wand though. I can see this done in a few ways. One, it has to do with the disrespect of half breeds, that since Hagrid is half giant they didn't have the same respect for his wand. His wand could've been taken and "lost" with Dumbledore stealing it back and transforming it into the umbrella, or with Hagrids original wand being taken and Dumvledore commissioning Ollivander in secret to make a new one. This could even lead to a cool moment where Hagrid eventually manages to retrieve his original wand, perhaps Harry steals it back one of the times he infiltrates the ministry, with Harry returning it to him and there being a scene where Hagrid sees it, tears up, and goes "Hello old friend". I also like that by delving into the sentience of wands could lead to an even more special relationship between wizards and their wand, perhaps their wands could almost be like familiars, with the wizard being able to telepathically communicate with their wand if the bond is strong enough. As a side note I just thought of, that would be super cool if that meant that the wand could potentially transform into a familiar, representative of both the core and the wizard they are bonded to.
56:00 I have a different Voldy origin theory.. I think Tom Riddle (the muggle) was a rich landowner, and a heal of a person. Merope Gaunt was a poor girl (from his POV) who lived in a rathole of a house, either on or next to his family's estate, (again from his POV) her care givers (brother and father) were suddenly missing and she obviously alone and unchaperoned, and had an obvious crush on the handsome landlord (himself). I think he took advantage of her as a lark~ perhaps something to kill an idle afternoon's itch, but she then came up pregnant, as was the expected custom of the times he did marry her to legitimize the pregnancy, and perhaps he had become somewhat fond of his victim, in a way; until just before her father and brother were due to be released from Azkaban, she confessed to him of her being a witch and they wizards, with perhaps a warning that they may not look favorably on their mixed blood offspring~ perhaps even performing some low level~ spot on the wall~ spell to convince him (as she wasn't especially skilled as a witch). He then assumed she had ensorcelled him and any fond feelings he may have developed were the result of some spell or brew... And could be blamed for any bad behavior on his part... The Magic Made Me Do It... And That's Why He Left Her When He Did.
Why does Voldemort still call Peter Petigrew Wormtail (wormbutt)? I think it is a form of torture: a constant reminder of his identity as a best friend to Lupin (Moony), Sirius (Padfoot), and especially the Potters (James being Prongs). His true childhood friends that he betrayed out of fear and selfish need to protect himself; sacrificing them. Like Dumbledor says words are an inexhaustible source of magic, capable of INFLICTING INJURY (appropriate to wormtail) or remedying it (not in this case). Plus as much as Voldemort knows Peter didn't deliberately betray him by sending him to the Potters the night Voldemort killed Harry's parents, he would be eternally angry at Peter for his mistake.
I’ve always wondered how the Weasleys’ felt about the fact that they were housing and taking care of (sort of) the man who would later revive Voldemort who then created Wizarding World War II where tons of people were killed (including one of their own sons 😭)
22:58 But I thought it was said somewhere that the basilisk was in a magically induced sleep whenever it wasn’t active, so that it wouldn’t die of starvation while waiting for Slytherin’s Heir to unleash it, or something along those lines? If so, how would the Gaunts have heard it? Also, I’m assuming that when it says that they ‘heard’ it, it was during their time at Hogwarts (the ones that attended at least), because Marvolo’s place isn’t exactly right next to Hogwarts, so they couldn’t have ‘heard’ it from there. I haven’t fully played through Hogwarts Legacy yet, so I’m just asking based off of what I’ve read/heard elsewhere.
You know, as far as I remember, in my language, Polish they didn't translate Mr. Spooky's name at all. They just put it exactly how it is in English version - tom marvolo riddle to I am lord voldemort - and they just added polish translation under asterisk. I thought it was cool, it made me feel like it is indeed happening in UK. And I remember loving this moment as a kid too so it wasn't much of a problem that they didn't translate it to Polish. To be honest, Polish translation was excellent. It was soo good. They left all the names and certain things that were better for it in English and every single thing that was translated was done masterfully, keeping the playfulness of the original.
I think, the reason why wormtail had to take lupins wand to transform, was because they used a spell to forcefully revert him back to human before, and not because it is inherently necessary to transform. Like, turning him back into human would be pointless, if he could just transform again, so they likely disabled this transformation with some sort of form-lock, which needed to be removed, before he could transform again.
Theory one, Hagrid with Tom's wand... my first thought was to dismiss it and even form a counter idea- but- it actually makes some sense, remember: broken wands misfire spells. Maybe it's THAT wand in the umbrella and he just let's people assume it's his old one... That said- it is possible Peter came with voldermort and stayed outside. Mostly because voldermort would want Peter close by in case he was lying about where his dear friends were hiding. Thus he does get the Wand right away, but stashes it somewhere before his fight with Sirius. Either works...
3:42 actually it’s not just srius and hagrid that go to the potters, if you listen to the movies then you see snake hugging and sobbing over lilys dead body. As weird as that may be
Hey guys, I just thought of an interesting topic: Since house elfs can apparate anywhere, can they break their masters out of Azkaban if they call them to appear? Love your chanel, keep it up, hi from Macedonia!
Hey Ben I was wondering...In your other videos you guys presented an idea that the ring that was actually the first horcrux. How does this idea make up with Dumbledore's quote from chapter 23 in Half Blood Prince - "It suggested that he must have made - or been planning to make - more Horcruxes, so that the loss of his FIRST would not be so detrimental. Dumbledore states here that diary was first.
Out there thought: Maybe the wand is able to be bound to the owner, allowing them to summon them on command. Kind of like a Warlocks Pact weapon in DND
Lol I only made it 5:19 into the video before the alliteration became too much to handle. Then I checked the comments and saw I'm not the only one by far 😂
In French it is Jedusor, Wich is a wordplay on "jeu du sort" , Wich can be interpreted in different ways. Un sort is a spell, a magic trick, but le sort is also destiny, fate. Jeu is game/play. So the french translation refers to the bad trick of destiny that gave birth to Voldemort.
37:00 Does Voldemort have to have killed all the inferi? The books say it’s a reanimated corpse so he could just go to a load of graveyards and take everyone. What do you think?
How are we actually sitting here, saying that the diary is not the first horcrux created? It absolutely is, and the appearance of tom riddle's 'ghost' is how old he would have been at the time of making it. And this lines up perfectly with us knowing that he asked Slughorn about horcrux's when still in school.
Its the soul of voldemort inside harry which allows him to speak parceltongue and open the chamber, after all parceltongue is what opens it, its not like you have to cut your hand and offer the blood of slytherin to open it, anyone who can speak parceltongue can open it and is technically an heir of slytherin. Even though harry's family also descends from the same family that slytherin descends from, they're so so so so many generations seperated that harry is not a descendant of slytherin, he's a descendant of the same family slytherin descends from
I just did the laundry and while I was folding the new laundry I was thinking “Rats…the clothes I’m wearing right now are becoming dirty laundry and the laundry I’m folding right now will be dirty by next week and I’ll have to do the laundry all over again in about a week…” Then Ben had his great speech about laundry so right now especially I totally get that speech 😂
My theory is that Wormtail was very close-at-hand when Voldemort attacked and saw everything go wrong. He entered (or was already inside as a rat), saw James and Lily dead, Harry still alive, and Voldemort's wand lying where it had dropped to the floor. and took it. Whether or not it was a reasonable expectation, in his reverence for Voldemort, he hid it away in some secret place he alone would know and wouldn't be easily found by accident, for the day Voldemort returned. He would have recognised that this might never happen, but if anyone could pull it off, it would be Voldemort, in Wormtail's estimation. During his time playing Scabbers, he learns that Dumbledore knows that his master is in an Albanian forest in some form or another, and checks on the wand to be sure it's safe. After finding him, Wormtail tells Voldemort that he has his wand hidden. At some point, then, possibly not even until shortly before the night in Little Hangleton, he retrieves Voldemort's orders so that he has it at hand when Voldemort returns in his full body. It's likely that he has to prove to Voldemort that he has the wand safely hidden shortly after finding him to gain Voldemort's minimal confidence in his loyalty and ability, however minimal Voldemort continues to think they are.
45:22 That part doesn't sit right with me! How would the horcrux even be formed, if the person doesn't kill the victim themselves? If the aggressor doesn't perform the killing curse, then their soul supposedly doesn't get split, so how would a part of their soul house itself within the object intended to be the horcrux? Wouldn't that mean the Basilisk's soul gets split and IT would be housed in the horcrux? This inconsistency seems like a topic for its own video!
you forget about Snape, who also sits and holding Lilly after she is killed, He is a deatheater, maybe it was scrautch junior who took it from snape, when he went for pollyjuice elecsire
I actually believe that before Sirius got to the Potter's house Peter did. Think about it this way. Peter told Voldemort about the house and ultimately betrayed the secret to them. If we assume that Voldemort was going to be rather quick about the killings and move on, as was at least somewhat indicated. When he's not back quickly, Peter checks things out, realizes what happens, and grabs the wand at that time. Sirius notices Peter leaving the house, find the Potters dead, and chases after him. You can keep your wand when you transform as an animagus. Peter tactfully left his wand to frame Sirius and went into exile.
For the Diary, could Voldemort have wanted to create his own powerfully magical object to put himself equal to the founders? With Slytherin’s ring giving the instructions to the entrance, the diary works very similarly, but a key difference being anyone could open the Chamber with the diary (or at least be made to open it, like Ginny). Also, since these were the first two horcruxes made, it seems like the diary being made was more intentional to carry on the use of the Chamber with Slytherin’s lineage at an end and the ring being hidden by Voldemort. This lines up with what Tom told Harry down in the Chamber as well, not wanting to waste his years searching for it.
Theory 1: how Voldemort gets his wand back. Theory 2: how Voldemort finds the chamber of secrets/horcrux order Theory 3: Voldemort is Sisyphus Theory 4: the diary is the unintended horcrux Theory 5: Voldemort Google auto-fill
with the Sisyphus theory is that every time the rock rolled back down Sisyphus believed he would accomplish his goal the next time like how Voldemort always thought he would beat harry the next time
Wormtail being the one to tell Voldemort where Lilly and James were hiding probably knew when Voldemort was going after them and could have been waiting nearby. After the spell backfired and destroyed the house, he retrieved the wand before hiding it somewhere, maybe in the belief that Voldemort hadn't actually died and keeping his wand safe might allow him to live should Voldemort want revenge. Then Sirius tracked him down and he decided to spend the rest of his days as a rat.
when it comes to the death eaters wands they had people in the minestry they could have been designated to be destroyed but the death eaters in the minestry simply absoncded with them and left a paper trail that said it had been destroyed
Re the creation of the diary horcrux. I think personally it couldve been intentional. The death was significant, it was the first death by the basilisk, also the diary was Tom's, so he couldve thought it was important enough. In regards to Myrtle being in the bathroom, Tom was known to use imperio on his "family", so he couldve easily controlled Olive to bully Myrtle at that time to get her into the bathroom.

It's just the first one. The rest aren't done.
I think Pureblood preferential treatment might be the reason for why Sirius and the Death Eaters were all able to get their wands back. They very well may have been able to have their family homes hold their wands before they went to Azkaban. We know the Ministry and Wizengamot was still corrupt enough to keep some of the more powerful families free. Hagrid wasn’t even fully human so no one important enough was going to argue for him to have his wand held by them other than Dumbledore, who likely pulled enough favors to keep Hagrid out of Azkaban the first time.
I am not sure but didn’t Ollivander himself said in the Deathly Hallows that he had made new wands for all the Death Eaters? Perhaps someone else had made those they had at the Ministry. Ron, for example, had second wand and it served him well, so it may be like the Death Eaters original wands, right?
Plus Hagrid was expelled. The rest didn't get expelled. They deserved to keep their wands 😂
Peter knew about Voldemorts plan, and realized something went wrong when Voldemort didn’t return soon. The same night he went to the potters, found the wand in the rubbles, and HID it. Before Dumbledore or the ministry could get there. Kept it hidden, somewhere, all the time until Voldemort’s return
That's my idea, I only thought that there is no reason why Peter would not have accompanied Voldie to the Potters house. I can think of many reasons why i did that. I presume there where a lot of people at that house after the incident. Because Dumbledore SEND Hagrid to pick uip Harry. So he allready knew the Potters where dead, but Harry survived. There for somebody must have told him. And that or those person(s) where at the house before Hagrid and would have found Voldies wand. My guess is that the wand was retrevid by a deatheater, beofre anyone else got at the scene. So Voldie was accompanied by a deatheater. It would make sense that is was Peter.
Alliteration is fun when it's sprinkled in here and there, not in every single sentence
ITS SO DISTRACTING
I think it's poetic and gives rhythm to the sentences.
But maybe it's because english is not my native language and I grew up listening to an audio saga that used it a lot (Reflets d'Acide, french)
You should've watched the Peter's Son theory
I think JK overdid it and that’s where they’re getting it from.
It's not as much the alliteration itself, but the over-enunciation is making it really hard to concentrate.

It was about Voldemort’s wand, about where, when, and what happened to the wand
I always kind of thought it was obvious how Voldemort found the Chamber. In my mind, it went one of two ways.
1.) He heard about the Hogwarts founders, more importantly Salazar Slytherin, and found out that he was a Parselmouth as well. This would lead him to digging into everything he can find about Slytherin, snakes, and anything remotely connecting himself to Slytherin.
2.) The Basilisk called out to Tom, the way it did with Harry, and told him how to set it free. Where it was and how to get there and all that.

The reason for that autofill with the shampoo is that, back in the day, if you typed in "I hate it when", it gave some super weird autofills like "I hate it when a chinchilla eats the universe" or "I hate it when i'm studying and someone rides a velociraptor through the house" and, yes, you guessed it "I hate it when Voldemort steals my shampoo". Why would that be an autofill? No idea, but noone ever figured any of the others out either.
Oh, I thought it’s a new one 😂 I guess there is a lot of preparations for the Tour :) can’t wait to hear the episodes 😊
I was under the impression that Wormtail took Voldy's wand after the attack and then hid it somewhere. He used his own wand to fake his death and left it behind (which may or may not have broken during the explosion). When Wormtail returns to Voldy, he retrieves the hidden wand.
My theory is that it was actually Snape who recovered Voldemort’s wand, but Peter DID acquire it from Snape after he escaped Lupin and Sirius in Prisoner.
I have just thought that Dumbledore may have planned this "Chosen" thing and orchestrated Peter's becoming the secret keeper and then Voldemort's killing the Potters. He pushed Voldemort to this as he thought it was the only option for him to kind of tie the dark wizard. I know it's too dark a theory for a children's book but I like such stuff and it would be great to have the seemingly best character so ruthless "for the greater good"
I saw what you did there👌🏼
The Swedish name for Voldemort is even funnier. Because they couldn't find a good way to turn "Jag Är Voldemort" or "Jag Är Lord Voldemort" into an anagram that would make a fitting name.
So they just used Latin.
So his full name is: Tom Morvolo Gus Dolder (dolder is a play on "dölja" which means 'to hide')
And the anagram is Ego Sum Lord Voldemort
Speaking of Vol- *cough cough* I mean «He who must not be named» and his nose, did you know that in LEGO, he is the only one with a nose
I just googled it because I thought you meant a real nose but it's only a painted one. It's funny too but him having a real three dimensional nose would've been hilarious 🤣
Yes, love your videos. A great treat to watch going into the weekend!
My theory is that Peter stole Voldemort’s wand and stashed it somewhere as a insurance policy, he sees the Dark Mark and knows Voldemort isn’t dead, so he goes into hiding and hides the wand in case he’s ever discovered and needs someone to protect him, the wand would be useful as a please don’t kill me gift to Voldemort.
28:30 lol in my language (Danish), they literally changed his name from Tom to Romeo 😂😭
In fact, they changed his entire name to "Romeo G. Detlev Jr." 😂😂😂
The G is for "Gåde" which is the Danish translation of "riddle".
But the G, as well as the J and R from junior, had to be included in the name like that.
Apparently, that was the only way they could manage to spell out:
"Jeg er Voldemort."
The spike from people skipping the first theory shows that the excessive enunciation on the alliteration is a real problem
I lose it literally every time you play that clip of Voldemort laughing out just out of context it just makes me laugh every time
The Death Eaters' wands are most likely in the hidden vault in Malfoy Manor. Draco does mention that his father has some "very valuable Dark Arts stuff", so I don't think it's entirely impossible that some Death Eater wands could be in there as well. No idea about Sirius regaining his though. He could just be using a family member's wand - Grimmauld Place was chock full of magical artifacts after all.
Stopped at 7:59 because of all the alliteration. Hope it’s not to farm comments!
Yeah I can’t do it bro… congratulations you found a thesaurus… but could you just speak like a normal person… 8:02
6:27 oh, I never read that as him using the wand to transform, but rather just him trying to attain a wand at all. So he could defend himself in chase they caught up with him ..
8:39 HAGRID HAD THE WAND!? -my best guess.
I hated how Voldy disintegrated in the movie. The book was perfect because Voldemort always considered himself practically an immortal god, but he died like an ordinary man. No fanfare, no magical aftereffects, just a corpse hitting the ground. His disintegrating in the movie made his death seem special and honestly, put in doubt that he even was dead. In these types of movies, if you don't see the body, they're not dead, especially considering a disintegrating body was what happened the first time he tried to kill Harry (otherwise if he had left a body there wouldn't have been any mystery as to what happened to him)
Agreed
The alliteration is breaking my brain lol
Now I can just see this giant snake slithering through Hogwarts like nothing’s wrong and scaring the kids in the halls but he just slithers through the school, wearing his cool sunglasses and just chilling 😂
27:40 - Actually, “de” can also mean “from,” which fits even better!
“Flight from Death.”
⚠️Off topic from video, day eight of asking for what ifs⚠️
1: What if Dudley went to Hogwarts? I think he'd be a Hufflepuff and be pretty good at defense against the dark arts and I think it would be fun to have him be good at divination cause none of the golden trio are good at or even seem to respect it.
2: What if Aang died with the other Air nomads and one of the other main characters eventually became the Avatar? I think the most interesting would be Sokka and Zuko.
3: What if Prim became the Mockingjay? The only way I see this happening is if Katniss gets caught hunting and either gets killed or sent to the Capital and becomes an avox, a year or two before Prims game so she gets some survival skills not as good as Katniss but better than nothing.
2. Well Sokka or Katara as the next one would be Southern water tribe... Or maybe it would have been their mother and moved on to Toph as she too got killed. It was 100 years after all.
@@elderscrollsswimmer4833 Yeah I'll admit other than the fire nation just really being on top of who the next avatar is for a hundred I'm not a hundred percent sure how to get past that hurtle... Maybe the avatar spirit knows somehow the best thing to do is wait a hundred years?
I feel like a better explanation for the wand wouldve been that it was collected by Aurors and stored in some area of the ministry. Then when Voldemort was om the path to return one of his loyalists in the ministry retrieved it. This could also have been used to build out thr universe. Explain that the wands of criminals are stored in some magical containment. Use this to build out wand lore about the connection between wand and wizard. Perhaps it's useful in investigation, trying to determine all the horrible things Voldemort did they may not know yet. Or perhaps it's deemed a truly horrible thing to in the Wizarding world to destroy a wand given their sentience. That would require a retcon on Hagrids wand though. I can see this done in a few ways. One, it has to do with the disrespect of half breeds, that since Hagrid is half giant they didn't have the same respect for his wand. His wand could've been taken and "lost" with Dumbledore stealing it back and transforming it into the umbrella, or with Hagrids original wand being taken and Dumvledore commissioning Ollivander in secret to make a new one. This could even lead to a cool moment where Hagrid eventually manages to retrieve his original wand, perhaps Harry steals it back one of the times he infiltrates the ministry, with Harry returning it to him and there being a scene where Hagrid sees it, tears up, and goes "Hello old friend". I also like that by delving into the sentience of wands could lead to an even more special relationship between wizards and their wand, perhaps their wands could almost be like familiars, with the wizard being able to telepathically communicate with their wand if the bond is strong enough. As a side note I just thought of, that would be super cool if that meant that the wand could potentially transform into a familiar, representative of both the core and the wizard they are bonded to.
ALSO IMAGINE IF HARRY RETRIEVED HEDWIGS BODY AND HAD WANDS MADE FROM HER FEATHERS THAT WERE EVENTUALLY GIVEN TO HIS CHILDREN!
"Tartarus is a giant abyss used to imprison and torture the titans." And two camp councilors!
I still don’t believe the reason Peter picked up lupine wand was so he could transform, I think he was intending to use it on someone.
Right, but it still makes sense that if he had a wand on him at the time, he wouldn't have tried to go after another one (in theory)
@@olandir yeah the theory still holds up
56:00 I have a different Voldy origin theory..
I think Tom Riddle (the muggle) was a rich landowner, and a heal of a person.
Merope Gaunt was a poor girl (from his POV) who lived in a rathole of a house, either on or next to his family's estate, (again from his POV) her care givers (brother and father) were suddenly missing and she obviously alone and unchaperoned, and had an obvious crush on the handsome landlord (himself).
I think he took advantage of her as a lark~ perhaps something to kill an idle afternoon's itch, but she then came up pregnant, as was the expected custom of the times he did marry her to legitimize the pregnancy, and perhaps he had become somewhat fond of his victim, in a way; until just before her father and brother were due to be released from Azkaban, she confessed to him of her being a witch and they wizards, with perhaps a warning that they may not look favorably on their mixed blood offspring~ perhaps even performing some low level~ spot on the wall~ spell to convince him (as she wasn't especially skilled as a witch). He then assumed she had ensorcelled him and any fond feelings he may have developed were the result of some spell or brew... And could be blamed for any bad behavior on his part... The Magic Made Me Do It...
And That's Why He Left Her When He Did.
Why does Voldemort still call Peter Petigrew Wormtail (wormbutt)?
I think it is a form of torture: a constant reminder of his identity as a best friend to Lupin (Moony), Sirius (Padfoot), and especially the Potters (James being Prongs). His true childhood friends that he betrayed out of fear and selfish need to protect himself; sacrificing them.
Like Dumbledor says words are an inexhaustible source of magic, capable of INFLICTING INJURY (appropriate to wormtail) or remedying it (not in this case). Plus as much as Voldemort knows Peter didn't deliberately betray him by sending him to the Potters the night Voldemort killed Harry's parents, he would be eternally angry at Peter for his mistake.
An idea for a mini series: Peter’s journey to find Voldemort and give him his wand. Let’s call it, “Worm Tale”
Thanks!
I’ve always wondered how the Weasleys’ felt about the fact that they were housing and taking care of (sort of) the man who would later revive Voldemort who then created Wizarding World War II where tons of people were killed (including one of their own sons 😭)
Oh.....we need a "Golden Flames of Fire" shirt. Like, now. And a candle
22:58 But I thought it was said somewhere that the basilisk was in a magically induced sleep whenever it wasn’t active, so that it wouldn’t die of starvation while waiting for Slytherin’s Heir to unleash it, or something along those lines? If so, how would the Gaunts have heard it?
Also, I’m assuming that when it says that they ‘heard’ it, it was during their time at Hogwarts (the ones that attended at least), because Marvolo’s place isn’t exactly right next to Hogwarts, so they couldn’t have ‘heard’ it from there. I haven’t fully played through Hogwarts Legacy yet, so I’m just asking based off of what I’ve read/heard elsewhere.
0:42 was that an "Out Cold" paraphrase/reference?!
You know, as far as I remember, in my language, Polish they didn't translate Mr. Spooky's name at all. They just put it exactly how it is in English version - tom marvolo riddle to I am lord voldemort - and they just added polish translation under asterisk. I thought it was cool, it made me feel like it is indeed happening in UK. And I remember loving this moment as a kid too so it wasn't much of a problem that they didn't translate it to Polish.
To be honest, Polish translation was excellent. It was soo good. They left all the names and certain things that were better for it in English and every single thing that was translated was done masterfully, keeping the playfulness of the original.
Wande Diem would mean “Wand the Day!” Seize the wand should be “Carpe Magicum!” or “Carpe Virgula!”
I think, the reason why wormtail had to take lupins wand to transform, was because they used a spell to forcefully revert him back to human before, and not because it is inherently necessary to transform. Like, turning him back into human would be pointless, if he could just transform again, so they likely disabled this transformation with some sort of form-lock, which needed to be removed, before he could transform again.
Become evil, he was evil from birth, and that strain of insanity running through his mother’s family tree didn’t help.
I Love this.
Do this with All your Elder Wand Theories.
Voldemort definitely drink snake juice from the snake hole lounge
Just watching that show for the first time now and fully appreciate the reference. 😁
Theory one, Hagrid with Tom's wand... my first thought was to dismiss it and even form a counter idea- but- it actually makes some sense, remember: broken wands misfire spells. Maybe it's THAT wand in the umbrella and he just let's people assume it's his old one...
That said- it is possible Peter came with voldermort and stayed outside. Mostly because voldermort would want Peter close by in case he was lying about where his dear friends were hiding. Thus he does get the Wand right away, but stashes it somewhere before his fight with Sirius. Either works...
3:42 actually it’s not just srius and hagrid that go to the potters, if you listen to the movies then you see snake hugging and sobbing over lilys dead body. As weird as that may be
I'm reminded of the Run-D.M.C. song "Peter Piper" - Now Peter Piper picked peppers, but Run rocked rhymes.
Hey guys, I just thought of an interesting topic:
Since house elfs can apparate anywhere, can they break their masters out of Azkaban if they call them to appear?
Love your chanel, keep it up, hi from Macedonia!
Hey Ben I was wondering...In your other videos you guys presented an idea that the ring that was actually the first horcrux. How does this idea make up with Dumbledore's quote from chapter 23 in Half Blood Prince - "It suggested that he must have made - or been planning to make - more Horcruxes, so that the loss of his FIRST would not be so detrimental.
Dumbledore states here that diary was first.
Out there thought: Maybe the wand is able to be bound to the owner, allowing them to summon them on command. Kind of like a Warlocks Pact weapon in DND
Legit just very excited that your discussing greek mythos 😁 34:12
The vape form of dip. Haven’t thought of it that way but that is completely accurate
voldemort just got thanos snapped haha that was bloody brilliant
Whoever wrote that theory about Voldemort's wand had a loooot of poetic fun xD
Lol I only made it 5:19 into the video before the alliteration became too much to handle. Then I checked the comments and saw I'm not the only one by far 😂
In French it is Jedusor, Wich is a wordplay on "jeu du sort" , Wich can be interpreted in different ways. Un sort is a spell, a magic trick, but le sort is also destiny, fate. Jeu is game/play. So the french translation refers to the bad trick of destiny that gave birth to Voldemort.
37:00 Does Voldemort have to have killed all the inferi? The books say it’s a reanimated corpse so he could just go to a load of graveyards and take everyone. What do you think?
How are we actually sitting here, saying that the diary is not the first horcrux created? It absolutely is, and the appearance of tom riddle's 'ghost' is how old he would have been at the time of making it. And this lines up perfectly with us knowing that he asked Slughorn about horcrux's when still in school.
Its the soul of voldemort inside harry which allows him to speak parceltongue and open the chamber, after all parceltongue is what opens it, its not like you have to cut your hand and offer the blood of slytherin to open it, anyone who can speak parceltongue can open it and is technically an heir of slytherin. Even though harry's family also descends from the same family that slytherin descends from, they're so so so so many generations seperated that harry is not a descendant of slytherin, he's a descendant of the same family slytherin descends from
I just did the laundry and while I was folding the new laundry I was thinking “Rats…the clothes I’m wearing right now are becoming dirty laundry and the laundry I’m folding right now will be dirty by next week and I’ll have to do the laundry all over again in about a week…” Then Ben had his great speech about laundry so right now especially I totally get that speech 😂
34:44 Thanatos… thanos??? Theory???
My theory is that Wormtail was very close-at-hand when Voldemort attacked and saw everything go wrong. He entered (or was already inside as a rat), saw James and Lily dead, Harry still alive, and Voldemort's wand lying where it had dropped to the floor. and took it. Whether or not it was a reasonable expectation, in his reverence for Voldemort, he hid it away in some secret place he alone would know and wouldn't be easily found by accident, for the day Voldemort returned. He would have recognised that this might never happen, but if anyone could pull it off, it would be Voldemort, in Wormtail's estimation.
During his time playing Scabbers, he learns that Dumbledore knows that his master is in an Albanian forest in some form or another, and checks on the wand to be sure it's safe. After finding him, Wormtail tells Voldemort that he has his wand hidden. At some point, then, possibly not even until shortly before the night in Little Hangleton, he retrieves Voldemort's orders so that he has it at hand when Voldemort returns in his full body. It's likely that he has to prove to Voldemort that he has the wand safely hidden shortly after finding him to gain Voldemort's minimal confidence in his loyalty and ability, however minimal Voldemort continues to think they are.
Will you do a follow up video on the Star wars hotel and your thoughts about it closing?
45:22 That part doesn't sit right with me! How would the horcrux even be formed, if the person doesn't kill the victim themselves? If the aggressor doesn't perform the killing curse, then their soul supposedly doesn't get split, so how would a part of their soul house itself within the object intended to be the horcrux? Wouldn't that mean the Basilisk's soul gets split and IT would be housed in the horcrux? This inconsistency seems like a topic for its own video!
I wish more than most people should that I could ever view SuperCarlinBrothers having a very lengthy conversation with Joann.
12:28 To skip the alliteration.
I may or may not just to do my part to give feedback. Thank you for that though. I was only around 6 minutes and it was literally making me feel ill.
The alliteration was impressive but was indredibly distracting 😂
Awesome as always thanks guys ❤
The letter word play in this episode is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 well done writers!
you forget about Snape, who also sits and holding Lilly after she is killed, He is a deatheater, maybe it was scrautch junior who took it from snape, when he went for pollyjuice elecsire
I actually believe that before Sirius got to the Potter's house Peter did. Think about it this way. Peter told Voldemort about the house and ultimately betrayed the secret to them. If we assume that Voldemort was going to be rather quick about the killings and move on, as was at least somewhat indicated. When he's not back quickly, Peter checks things out, realizes what happens, and grabs the wand at that time. Sirius notices Peter leaving the house, find the Potters dead, and chases after him. You can keep your wand when you transform as an animagus. Peter tactfully left his wand to frame Sirius and went into exile.
For the Diary, could Voldemort have wanted to create his own powerfully magical object to put himself equal to the founders? With Slytherin’s ring giving the instructions to the entrance, the diary works very similarly, but a key difference being anyone could open the Chamber with the diary (or at least be made to open it, like Ginny). Also, since these were the first two horcruxes made, it seems like the diary being made was more intentional to carry on the use of the Chamber with Slytherin’s lineage at an end and the ring being hidden by Voldemort. This lines up with what Tom told Harry down in the Chamber as well, not wanting to waste his years searching for it.
Theory 1: how Voldemort gets his wand back.
Theory 2: how Voldemort finds the chamber of secrets/horcrux order
Theory 3: Voldemort is Sisyphus
Theory 4: the diary is the unintended horcrux
Theory 5: Voldemort Google auto-fill
with the Sisyphus theory is that every time the rock rolled back down Sisyphus believed he would accomplish his goal the next time like how Voldemort always thought he would beat harry the next time
Just another thought, Dumbledore is super sneaky, it's really lucky he grew a conscience bc he would've been a menace if he stayed to a darker path
I find it very interesting that old voldy didn't make the Basilisk into a horcrux. It holds special meaning and has lived for over 1000 years
Last time I was this early on an SCB video, we all thought Dumbledore had a horcrux
Wormtail being the one to tell Voldemort where Lilly and James were hiding probably knew when Voldemort was going after them and could have been waiting nearby. After the spell backfired and destroyed the house, he retrieved the wand before hiding it somewhere, maybe in the belief that Voldemort hadn't actually died and keeping his wand safe might allow him to live should Voldemort want revenge. Then Sirius tracked him down and he decided to spend the rest of his days as a rat.
4:15 I began feeling ill
omg same. I stopped watching the video, I don't know who's idea it was but the alliteration was driving me insane
when it comes to the death eaters wands they had people in the minestry they could have been designated to be destroyed but the death eaters in the minestry simply absoncded with them and left a paper trail that said it had been destroyed
Re the creation of the diary horcrux. I think personally it couldve been intentional. The death was significant, it was the first death by the basilisk, also the diary was Tom's, so he couldve thought it was important enough. In regards to Myrtle being in the bathroom, Tom was known to use imperio on his "family", so he couldve easily controlled Olive to bully Myrtle at that time to get her into the bathroom.
