The_SCP _Foundation I mean, Hogwarts was probably safer back then. As well, you know, HARRY WASN’T ATTENDING YET 😂. Plus, compared to the abuse she had to endure with her aunt, Hogwarts would have been her safe haven. Just like so many other children, like Hardy James Potter & Severus Snape. Harry had to endure verbal and mental abuse (and probably physical as well) by his aunt and uncle, and Snape had to endure physical, verbal, and mental abuse by his father. Harry had it worse when it comes to being unsafe at Hogwarts then Snape (unless we concentrate on bullying, Janes Potter made Snape’s school years miserable. Not saying he was all the innocent, but Janes crosses so many lines), as he himself was ALWAYS in a form of danger. Yet, to him, Hogwarts will always be his first home. The first place he felt wanted, or rather, loved.
What if a no-maj that has no idea about magic and also from a only no-maj family got accepted and the opposite type of person (pure blood family, prob from slitheren fam, not a squib,) was not accepted
I have a theory what If they are because JK Rowling could be Rita Skeeter in disguise and she made her sound so bad to throw us off and JKR is only seven years older than Harry Potter would be right now so maybe after getting her wand snapped this was her revenge
jk rowling would have to sell it to them or sum and she would not since she can find someone to make it herself and probably make it better than they could
I wanna act in this version after the potter series like year 2020...…….my character starts off believed to be a muggle with no magic...…..manages to save a squad of wizards/witches without using magic, like he causes enough of a destraction while saving 1-2 of them, say like they travel in groups of 4 a member from each house..... he gets knocked out and wakes up at ilvermorny, they assume him to be a wizard(hes 16-17 years old) he tries to tell them otherwise, but seeing that he had no previous schooling they go to get him sorted into house...…...surprised to find him to be a muggle, hes permited to stay at least until he recovers, but whatever sorts students tips off the teachers wjhats he is...………….at the age of 2 his wings where torn from his back....he was born in the 2000's his mother an archangel, his father a muggle. To stop a prophecy that on the year of 2020 an cosmic eclipse and a planetary alignment would shield the earth from the heavens and weaken the seals on hell and that the king of hell Satan would for a full year be unrestrained from having demonic/demon armies and his general the fallen dark angel lucifer engulf the earth in hell itself...……….the heavens are sworn to interfere with the earth as little as possible outside of what is commanded……...Nor are they to alter prophecy's... going against proclemations, Atheria a warrior arc angel in secret attemted to alter the dark 2020 prophecy, by bareing a half human son, forging a destony for him to lead 7 warriors(a winged gorgon, a minataur, a centaur,a warewolf, a dryad elf, a half dragon human hybrid) to protect, defeat or suppress the forces of hell...he has 3 months untill the prophecy comes to pace to endow him with magic they fuse the resurrection stone with the goblet of fire aloowing him to gain the souls/powers of 3 past wizards( Dumbledore, merlin and Goodrich gryphondor) he is gifted with the sword of gryphondor and Excalibur fusing the 2 blades and gets tpo forge a wizards staff from materials that chose him, like the wand chosing its wizard...………………………………………….IDK it was a long assed daydream
Salazar Slytherin: *Is related to Illvermony founder, Voldemort, and a gaunt heiress.* Gaunt Heiress: *Is related to the 2nd Peverell brother.* Harry Potter: *Is related to the 3rd Peverell brother.* Me: “Everyone’s related.”
I'm just surprised that given Voldemort's obsession with Slytherin, he didn't go to America to get his Ancestor's wand. I'm sure that he's at least heard of Illvermorny and about the snake wood tree there.
I don't know. Ilvermorny was co-established with a Muggle and is generally more accepting of Muggle-borns. I'm not sure a pureblood supremacist like Voldemort would want to associate himself with a school that was established by and is still full of blood traitors.
If he did know and tried to, I’m pretty sure the wand wouldn’t budge if attempted to summon it. I would say, He’s not a true pure blood. The last remaining pure blood from of the Gaunt family was the aunt who deactivated the wand before she died. Even Isolt’s couldn’t activate it and decided to bury the wand.
You... do realize that the reason the tree grew was BECAUSE it had been deactivated? I'm pretty sure this is known amongst wizards and witches. So yeah He most likely couldn't have been able to turn the wand back on.
@@topazlynx2228 yes, but remember, voldemort considered himself special. As better than others. I wouldn't be suprised if he actually gave it a try. Afterall, he is proud of being Slytherin's descendent.
Because she got her letter, read it and her guardian replied saying she wasn't going to attend. You cant be forced to go... Harry wasn't responding therefore he got spammed. People try so hard to find flaws and loopholes when most of them are easily explained if we just engage our brain.
Imagine if Martha's children generation's later are born with Magical abilities and also ability to speak parseltongue. It would be like a muggle-born heir of Slytherin, literally the opposite of what Salazar Slytherin wanted. Kind of wickedly ironic.
That would actually be a great story line imo, tho even if I'll like it, I'm not sure I could ever look at Rowling's works without a tinge of bitterness
@@laikeree_4213 They could have made a Plot where Harry is later revealed be the Direct Descendent of Isolt through Lily like it would be Slytherin Heir VS Slytherin Heir.
@@Noir-u1m Oooo like if Lily was a decendant of the squib daughter (sorry forgot her name) 👀 But I feel like he might already be distantly related since James was a pureblood and purebloods were basically all distantly related
Huh, I never thought of that 🤔 But honestly no-maj James is already a cool person cuz he literally helped build a magical school despite being non magical
@@alexpalaciossantos4940 Still, it raises some questions. How involved can a Muggle be in the Wizarding World? What things are truly blind to them, and what is just hidden by charms and enchantments? Can a Muggle brew Potions? Can they fly a Broomstick? Can they even achieve small bits of magic? (With outside help, of course.) The story of James offers the question of what Muggles can do in a magical world. And it's frustrating that we don't have all the answers.
@@kingcamelot1395 as far as I know, Muggles can't brew potions, can ride broomsticks and can't use magic, but it can affect them. According to Newt Scamander, Wizards have different biology to muggles, which is why muggles can birth Wizards/witches most likely, and a squib is a mix between both types of human. If a muggle has different biology, then they can ,at most, tap into a little bit of magic.
I wouldn't mind a bunch of movies about this as well. J.K. Rowling has so much she can do after Fantastic Beasts. The Marauders, The Founders and Ilvermorny.... and even the terrible Cursed Child which I hope gets remade.
I have a personal feeling about Cursed Child. That the events technically took place, but that the telling has been warped. As if we are actually watching a stage play performed by wizards, trying their best to make a biopic production, and improvising, so that certain characters don't sound the same way and odd events happen.
KrayZ petunia clearly didn’t want harry to live w her and her family. she locked him in a cupboard ffs. dumbles probs forced her or she took him in bc she knew she didn’t have another choice, bc she knew what wizards could do if she didn’t comply. I don’t like how it sounds like ur trying to justify her abuse against harry, bc like it -was- abuse
Dang, she only got his present that she had promised him years in advance the literal night before his birthday? That's some next level procrastination.
Not true she was examining their parents wands but was having trouble finding something to use as a core, also she probably mentioned the idea to James over the years after he came up with the layout of their house
I hope that someday we'll be able to see Ilvermorny represented in a game or book. Something like Hogwarts legacy but ilvermorny. I want to see the HP universe beyond it's Hogwarts and English setting, it seems so interesting. Despite all the controversy behind J.K. Rowling rn, it is undoubtedly true that she has created one of the most beloved, creative, and fascinating magical worlds to date.
British naming: Black, skinny, winged horse - Thestral American naming: Thing that can hide behind things - Hidebehind Jesus Christ in a teapot! This might be my most liked comment.
It's a bird that causes thunder on its a thunder bird as britz do it too though with names like blue birds and also America means land of the feathered serpent so take that as you will
Does anyone else think that Issolt's childhood and Harry's childhood were kinda similar. Both of their parents were killed and they were taken by their (quite honestly abusive) aunts. For different reasons their aunts tried to change the way the kids parents taught them (Petunia wanted to get rid of magic and Gormlith, idk if it's spelt correct, wanted to change what kind of magic she was being taught). When they were given their Hogwarts acceptance letters both aunts didn't let them go. After that it's all different but yeah, similar in the beginning.
Both of could speak parseltoung both sets of parents were killed by decendents of Slytherin both were the only ones to survive both fought those decendents of Slytherin and both won in the end and got their dream job. Yeah I'm definitely feeling some deja vu 😆😊
I've watched the presentation of the story of how Ilvermorny was created, and it's white man's burden pure and simple. It's established that there's magical being all over the Earth, including in the "new world" so why wouldn't the native tribes that had shamans and medicine men, and witch doctors have their own system to train those among their tribes who have such powers? The answer is the Harry Potter fans want a great white savior to establish a Eurocentric school because God knows the original inhabitants of North, South and Central America never could have done it.
It’s fascinating how the school was started by the union of magical and non magical folk. And then much later MCUSA (I don’t know if it’s shown as that or something else) would outlaw the union of magical and no mags when it most likely started out with the ideal that that could happen. Which means either something happened, or someone came in and trampled on that ideal.
I think it's because after a few decades Ilvermorny had been established, a wizard called Robert or something married/wanted to marry a Muggle and it blew up the wizards' cover. It was the first time the wizards were almost discovered after the Statute of Secrecy became a thing and even led to major prosecution of wizardkind in America eventually resulting in the deaths of four witches with two of them being children, so the MACUSA at the time took drastic measures to prevent it from ever happening again - a ban on a Muggle-magical union.
Well you also have to realize everyone in the world did the same thing, probably because they started to fear the normal people, something to think about is the “magical world” is just the real world, the wizard governments just keep it away from the non magical people and so it’s separated from the magical world and the non magical world, or really, the real world and the cover up world
Snape wasn't, either. And probably a good number of Voldemort's followers that came from Slytherin would never have joined him if they'd been treated right. What did they expect, telling 11 year old CHILDREN they're evil from the moment they sort into Slytherin, ridiculing and humiliating them and ostracizing the whole house with even the teachers in on it? Tell someone long enough they're good for nothing and evil and they'll internalize it. Prejudice, people...not only Slytherin and Voldemort suffered from it. And if you treat people badly, eventually they'll lash out. Also, if I'd been a Slytherin being humiliated and all that and Voldemort (who, in the beginning was a real charmer) would have offered to help me become great, give me the abilities to protect myself from ever being hurt like that again, power to be recognized...I doubt I would have believed my tormentors claiming the guy was bad news. And by the time I'd realize Voldemort's evil, it would be too late. I don't think Voldemort reacted well to traitors (speaking of those that had been in his ranks but defected) or people who clearly showed an interest and suddenly decide "no, actually, not for me, sorry" Once you were on Voldy's radar, you were pretty much f*cked.
Elias Story was actually a passenger on the Mayflower in real life, but dies within the first year of arriving in the new world. Imagine being the REAL Elias Story, having died some 400 years ago, but your story is brought back to life in an author's mental universe. A really awesome way to get a new life from one cut so short.
it mentioned every human of magical power is accepted to Ilvermorny (unlike Hogwarts where you're chosen) so i guess if it was meant to be we'd only be able to hear about Ilvermorny through the vines and have to register ourselves. a letter would've been super cool and made each of us feel super special though. lol
Imagine how pissed a skilled and heavily practiced wandmaker would be to know that a witch without the slightest idea of wand lore with the help of a muggle created a not only working wand, but an incredibly powerful wand on their first try
I cannot get over your ability to tell a story. I will rewatch this again and again because of your voice, the music that you used, and the way that you tell a story. I'd listen to anything if it's from you.
Guys, I wish Rowling made one story for all the other schools, that would be awesome!! (Thanks for the likes ya'll- probably my most liked comment! And yes. I still stand by it)
@@agus7448 ... I just realised... If Rowling did make a story on the Japanese school... Anime characters would have a valid reason to be able to transfer to Hogwarts without a major rework in the background of the character-
Thunderbirds are also part of Native folklore, cant remember the tribes name but I know Blue Jacket and Little Turtle used them as a symbol on banners during wars against Colonials.
Actually James potter was prepared to fight Voldemort but he left his wand in the living room. He still loved lily and harry but he was prepared to fight and die rather just straight up die which is what ultimately gives of the sacrificial protection :)
Isolt, her mother, and her two biological daughters were the only Gaunts that weren’t evil and batshit insane. This story is so fascinating! Thank you Movie Flame!
@@jhetttiernan2623 It's really sad how her story ended. With her giving up on her life and leaving Tom orphan. But well, if she hadn't died we wouldn't have Harry Potter either so...
@@thereadingcat87 She wasn't insane but she was evil, she basically drug-raped Tom Riddle Sr by putting him under a love potion and when she stopped giving him it, he left her.
Oh, I *wish* I could hear you do an audio book reading on the whole series! Seriously, with your telling of just the history of events was amazing an entertaining! You had me on the edge of my seat for a moment there near the end. You have so much passion in your recounts and I love it.
the fact that JK Rowling comes up with these amazing stories amazes me. you now the Harry Potter series was a good one when you would do anything to be in that world and not this one...
My goodness, WHY isn't this already a film adaptation?! You have EVERYTHING here for a hella successful film! Humble beginnings, traumatic childhood memories, escape and adventure to another land, unlikely but fortunate meetings, unlikely but unfortunate meetings, hella salty antagonist, a last stand, flourishing of the MC's wildest dreams, and the one dude that stayed behind all these centuries (in secret) and constantly pays homage to his beloved friend(s) of a long bygone era.

@@thecensoredmuscle563 wrote: "America is over 70% white" Not at the time Ilvermorny would have been established. The indigenous people dominated the continent, and their system of magic would have dominated. Despite that, there has to be a white savior who implements "white-man's burden" (why don't you search for information out of Canada about the more than 1,000 Indian children whose bodies have been found at schools designed to beat the savage out of them, and maybe you'll understand why I'm so opposed to the Ilvermorny crap [especially when white man's burden crap is celebrated by whites the way you and others celebrate Ilvermorny]).
@@JJSmith-le5mu Oh calm down, you big baby. The cruel treatment of native people is a sick fact that we should all be made aware of, but I doubt Rowling knew anything resembling that travesty when she wrote this, nor had its base concept in mind as inspiration. Not every story written by a white person has a conscious or subconscious "white man superior" message etched into its soul. I did not at all see anything in the story about white people acting as a superior or condescending comparison toward something in stringent regards to the native peoples; just four European settlers who traveled to America for their own reasons, but who somehow came together based on circumstance and who all ultimately developed a familial bond strong enough to build up a dream and face off against a monstrous force of evil, while at the same time encountering preternatural beings who were based off folkloric creatures native to America. And last I checked, those who attend Ilvermorny all come solely of their own volition instead of being forced into it by biased local law or necessity. Where's your suspension of disbelief!
@@JJSmith-le5mu Lmfao. You just referred to native Americans as Indians, yet you're calling all fans of this series racist. Have you ever heard of fiction? There's so many plot holes in Rowlings books, that's just one of them. But yeah OK dude we all just NEED a white hero. Lmfao. Get over yourself.
Celeste • eh...I don’t know if she was on the same level as voldy. She certainly wasn’t immortal like voldy had made himself, at least insofar as it took years of preparation and hard work of several witches and wizards young and old for just a chance of things going right. I think Gormlaith would be a closer analog to lucious Malloy. A bitter fairly powerful but not overly exceptional pure blood. Or maybe even better like Sirius Black’s Mom.
Well it's not as if Voldemort was the first to have those ideas either. A lot of wizards had the same elitist attitudes and have probably attempted to make a grab for power.
@@Mia_M Right like Grindelwald for example....However, I don't think Gormlaith is in the same league...Voldy, Grindy and Dumbly were exceptionally powerful and talented wizards.
It sorta irks me how none of it was ever referenced in the original books. George R R Martin always has little references of past events in his ASOIAF series, even if he hadn’t fully developed them yet.
I think the ilvermorny story would make a solid tv series, it’s dark, it has humour and action, I feel like I wanna see more of the wizarding world, I’m from London and we have so much story and history on the wizarding world thanks to potter but I’d be happy if another writer collaborated with jk and we got series set in Ilvermorny or beauxbatons, especially Ilvermorny, because it’s story has a solid beginning middle and end that could then be embellished with new ideas, we know wizardry is global let’s see it from another perspective, fantastic beasts is alright but like it’s newts story but involves Grindelwald we know newt isn’t the one who beats Grindelwald, the whole basis of his story is just weird, why not have a new story or something like the ilvermorny story portrayed on screen? Not everything about the wizarding world needs to link back to the potter series it’s so much bigger now
I'm working on my own story of a different Wizarding School. It started based on Harry Potter but I wanted go a lot farther with it and now I'm changing things up to make it in to an original work instead of a fan work of JKR's work. And while turning it into its own thing it started to grow and suddenly I was writting the laws and rules for a government for a completely different Wizarding society. So far it's just world building I guess, I'm kind of establishing how their society works while coming up with traditions and culture. I haven't yet gotten to the history and how evrything came to be. I'm saving that for the very last I suppose. My Wizarding world is set in Germany and is (maybe) planned to expand to France, Italy, Russia, Turkey etc. But the main focus is still Germany. Simply because there are so many Dark academia places here and it has been making me want to write something witchy for ages. Though I'm not sure how I will coleberate the world wars into the Wizarding history when I do finally sit down to write it. Once I've completed the world building for it I'd actually like to write a story in the setting I created but as It's now I haven't actually come up with one. This isn't my first time world building although I never had to search up so much history and so many laws and consider so many tiny details before but I'm still having a lot of fun with this project and I now for sure that I will do something with it in the future. Be it a book (series?) or a graphic novel / comic, animated youtube series, I will make something out of this.

Applause to J.K.R for this , reading between the line at the end and the deeper meaning “IMO” , is the American dream she made her own, the magical school she never had so she made her own. It very much like a lot of immigrant success story or refugee success story . Coming to America and persevering through the hard times but to make your dream come true.
I mean, I can walk into Walmart and pick up one with a few hundred rounds for at most $100! Oh wait, nerf guns. And guess what? In America, children aren’t supposed to have guns. People want to ban guns entirely, instead, it should be as follows: you must own a gun safe, and everyone in the household must be mentally stable unless their doctor has given the OK that the unstable person is safe enough to carry a firearm(like ADHD or autism possibly)
Azy Draws there’s already background checks. So I just listed what I’d add. So in total 1. Gun safe 2. No criminals/only reformed criminals 3. Mental stability
Flyingturret208: The Cannon That’s what people who talk about gun control want. We don’t want no guns, we just want it to be as regulated as cars, which it currently isn’t.
Holy crap, this is such an AMAZING video!!! It's almost 30 minutes long and I was too involved with it that time seemed to breeze right on by. Thank you for such an incredible story. I hope you have a wonderful one!!!
I've just thought of something... Could Terry Boot, a Ravenclaw in Harry's year be a descendant of Webster Boot????? please let me think that I'm not crazy/ the only one in thinking this
@20th or so time i changed my name Voldemort is names Various times as an heir to Slytherin, while the riddles were half-blood, he was also part of the gaunt family. So yes, they are related.
So not only voldenort is realted to 2 founders of famous schools the brothers who made the deathly hallows and Harry Potter himself damn he got badass descendents
Honestly, there could be an entire spin-off dedicated to this school, Ilvermorny. Each book could be about a different group of students, like an anthology series. It doesn't even have to be connected to Hogwarts in any way.
Imagine how Chadwick must've felt, sixteen years old fighting his childhood nightmare, his little brother (his last blood relative), baby sisters and parents all behind him and their lives all resting on him protecting them all.
Awww I feel so bad for Martha being a squib. It must really suck to see all your siblings get to learn amazing magic but you're left out. Only thing that makes it better is her family is awesome and accepting and dad also doesn't have magic so she has someone to connect to. Still sucks though, I can imagine how disappointing that would be, especially at that young age.
Sad I'm pretty sure she might get at least talked to behind her back because (maybe) some students see her as the useless family member, it's good to know that James live with her because it would be way difficult to live in a place where everyone around you are magic users
I can't stop watching this video. From the music in the background to your actual voice and the incredible story... It's probably every several weeks to few months, but I always look for this version of the story. I still feel that childlike entertainment that I got from reading and rereading the books so many years ago. So thanks. :)
"You dealing with muggles is dangerous! Let me show it... by murdering you!!!!" - Yeahhh. The reasonable, logical Gaunt family, decendants of Slytherin.
Because a large number of HP fans posting here are missing the point of what I've written, I'm going to spell it right out for them. That is, HP fans, a large majority of whom are white, want JKR to create a white, eurocentric magic school in the "new world". The reason being is that those fans can't stomach the idea that non-whites would produce such a school (even in fiction), and JKR is exploiting that desire. Do you disagree, why? If you agree, and you support the idea of a white, eurocentric magic school in the "new world", tell me why. Is white better?
"This tree seemed testament to the fact that Slytherin’s wand, like his scattered descendants, encompassed both noble and ignoble. The very best of him seemed to have migrated to America." I don't know why but these lines really speak to me.
makes me laugh, one of the founders of Ilvermorny was a no-mag but at the time of fantastic beasts it was against the magical law for a magic user and no-mag to be together. doesnt sound right...lol
You’re such an excellent storyteller. I’ve watched other videos on this history and yours is by far the most interesting and engaging. You’re the perfect narrator for these videos.
Dude... This video was so beautiful. I literally caught myself starting to tear up. I would LOVE to see this story become a movie. Geez, I loved this video.
Honestly I would rather watch this than the Fantastic Beasts movies, it just sounds so much more interesting and original, whereas the Fantastic Beast movies are trying to connect with the Harry Potter movies.
I wouldn't say 'original'... two dead parents, killed by an evil jerk, hunted by said jerk, speaks to snakes, I mean, it's trans Harry (I would still totally love and watch these movies tho xD)
I cried when I read how William secretly went on staying there and how much he must miss Isolt that he doesnt let anyone else polish her statue and secretly lays Mayflowers at her grave. This hidden concern is so touching.
Is it me or do I want to see this as a movie or several. I read this but how he told this story is so beautiful. Lil similarities To HP But boy is it wonderful
When you are too lazy to read the pottermore texts so you just watch these videos, because you know that these are so well made that there would be nothing important iformation false/missing :D Again, awesome work!
This kind of "audio lore videos" is gold for many fictional universes, you can do something else (eating, walking, waiting you bus...)...and learn a lot of things :)

I keep coming back to this video. It's like re-reading a short story, packed with all the essential and most engaging information. Thanks for this video.
the real question is if America has a magic school why isn't it in the tournament, is there a vote as to which 3 schools all over the world get to do it every 4 years or something
Afaik, the triwizard tournament has been held by Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang for centuries, breaking the tradition during the 1700's and reprising when the HP novels take place, so Ilvermorny and other schools were probably not founded before it was conceived, they were founded when it was inactive, or the triwizard tournament was restricted to Europe, making those 3 the only wizarding schools in the area.
the durmstrang were founded by stalin himself as a communist ploy to beat the capitalistic hogwarts it is our favourite magic school after all Edit: i made a mistake our favourite school
"Because he moved his family of Pukwudgies into the house the next day and helped them repair the damage that Gormlaith had caused. He then announced that the wizards were too dim to protect themselves and negotiated a hefty salary in gold for acting as the schools private security and maintenance service." And that's when I decided, goddamn it I love William
Pugwudgie's part of the story is very Harry Potter to me. Just the fact that he appreciated James tribute to pugwudgies but thanks them by basically saying "wizards cant protect themselves so I guess I have to"
Your channel is insanely good with its Potter content. After i read all the books as a child/teen, I was very disappointed with the lack of respect for source material demonstrated by WB and kinda fell out of love with all things Potter. With the new open world RPG game coming out soon i've found my love again rekindled. This video was great and I appreciate all the time and dedication that you put into these videos. I've even started a fan faction taking place in modern times; cant have light without darkness right?

I wanna act in this version after the potter series like year 2020...…….my character starts off believed to be a muggle with no magic...…..manages to save a squad of wizards/witches without using magic, like he causes enough of a destraction while saving 1-2 of them, say like they travel in groups of 4 a member from each house..... he gets knocked out and wakes up at ilvermorny, they assume him to be a wizard(hes 16-17 years old) he tries to tell them otherwise, but seeing that he had no previous schooling they go to get him sorted into house...…...surprised to find him to be a muggle, hes permited to stay at least until he recovers, but whatever sorts students tips off the teachers wjhats he is...………….at the age of 2 his wings where torn from his back....he was born in the 2000's his mother an archangel, his father a muggle. To stop a prophecy that on the year of 2020 an cosmic eclipse and a planetary alignment would shield the earth from the heavens and weaken the seals on hell and that the king of hell Satan would for a full year be unrestrained from having demonic/demon armies and his general the fallen dark angel lucifer engulf the earth in hell itself...……….the heavens are sworn to interfere with the earth as little as possible outside of what is commanded……...Nor are they to alter prophecy's... going against proclemations, Atheria a warrior arc angel in secret attemted to alter the dark 2020 prophecy, by bareing a half human son, forging a destony for him to lead 7 warriors(a winged gorgon, a minataur, a centaur,a warewolf, a dryad elf, a half dragon human hybrid) to protect, defeat or suppress the forces of hell...he has 3 months untill the prophecy comes to pace to endow him with magic they fuse the resurrection stone with the goblet of fire aloowing him to gain the souls/powers of 3 past wizards( Dumbledore, merlin and Goodrich gryphondor) he is gifted with the sword of gryphondor and Excalibur fusing the 2 blades and gets tpo forge a wizards staff from materials that chose him, like the wand chosing its wizard...………………………………………….IDK it was a long assed daydream

Me: “Everyone’s related.”
DUDE IKR
Next Ron and Herminornie are related
Sounds stupid
Do u mean ignotus peverell and cagmus peverell?
Who’s Peverell?
I'm just surprised that given Voldemort's obsession with Slytherin, he didn't go to America to get his Ancestor's wand. I'm sure that he's at least heard of Illvermorny and about the snake wood tree there.
Assuming he knew it was rendered inactive he probably didn't think it was worth the effort
I don't know. Ilvermorny was co-established with a Muggle and is generally more accepting of Muggle-borns. I'm not sure a pureblood supremacist like Voldemort would want to associate himself with a school that was established by and is still full of blood traitors.
If he did know and tried to, I’m pretty sure the wand wouldn’t budge if attempted to summon it.
I would say, He’s not a true pure blood.
The last remaining pure blood from of the Gaunt family was the aunt who deactivated the wand before she died. Even Isolt’s couldn’t activate it and decided to bury the wand.
You... do realize that the reason the tree grew was BECAUSE it had been deactivated?
I'm pretty sure this is known amongst wizards and witches.
So yeah
He most likely couldn't have been able to turn the wand back on.
@@topazlynx2228 yes, but remember, voldemort considered himself special. As better than others. I wouldn't be suprised if he actually gave it a try. Afterall, he is proud of being Slytherin's descendent.

The Dursley’s: burn Harry’s Letters.
Hogwarts: sends loads more
Issolt: doesn’t get her letter
Hogwarts: does nothing
Wow,
Potter Head true, too true
Maybe because Dumbledore was not alive then...
Because Harry was an essential
Because she got her letter, read it and her guardian replied saying she wasn't going to attend. You cant be forced to go... Harry wasn't responding therefore he got spammed. People try so hard to find flaws and loopholes when most of them are easily explained if we just engage our brain.

Imagine if Martha's children generation's later are born with Magical abilities and also ability to speak parseltongue. It would be like a muggle-born heir of Slytherin, literally the opposite of what Salazar Slytherin wanted. Kind of wickedly ironic.

12:35 Do y'all realize James has been the only muggle who has successfully created a wand???
Huh, I never thought of that 🤔
But honestly no-maj James is already a cool person cuz he literally helped build a magical school despite being non magical
How do you know that? Maybe there are more No-Mags that made wands?
@@topazlynx2228 yes, the nomajs that arent supposed to know magic exists are definitely making wands. especially in colonial america
@@alexpalaciossantos4940 Still, it raises some questions. How involved can a Muggle be in the Wizarding World? What things are truly blind to them, and what is just hidden by charms and enchantments? Can a Muggle brew Potions? Can they fly a Broomstick? Can they even achieve small bits of magic? (With outside help, of course.)
The story of James offers the question of what Muggles can do in a magical world. And it's frustrating that we don't have all the answers.
@@kingcamelot1395 as far as I know, Muggles can't brew potions, can ride broomsticks and can't use magic, but it can affect them. According to Newt Scamander, Wizards have different biology to muggles, which is why muggles can birth Wizards/witches most likely, and a squib is a mix between both types of human. If a muggle has different biology, then they can ,at most, tap into a little bit of magic.
I wouldn't mind a bunch of movies about this as well. J.K. Rowling has so much she can do after Fantastic Beasts. The Marauders, The Founders and Ilvermorny.... and even the terrible Cursed Child which I hope gets remade.
I have a personal feeling about Cursed Child. That the events technically took place, but that the telling has been warped. As if we are actually watching a stage play performed by wizards, trying their best to make a biopic production, and improvising, so that certain characters don't sound the same way and odd events happen.
The Marauders would be most interesting. To see the dynamic between Peter and the rest.
Also, a story about the other schools around the world.. that would be amazing
You are so right
At least the cc cast a dark actor in the play
"...was abused and mistreated by her aunt"
Harry: lol relatable
😂😂
KrayZ Ik I just thought of the joke and just commented about it. Although I didn't know much about the protection spell thanks!!

KrayZ petunia clearly didn’t want harry to live w her and her family. she locked him in a cupboard ffs. dumbles probs forced her or she took him in bc she knew she didn’t have another choice, bc she knew what wizards could do if she didn’t comply. I don’t like how it sounds like ur trying to justify her abuse against harry, bc like it -was- abuse
it’s so amazing how so many stories can tie together so beautifully. Harry Potter was the beginning of something so beautiful.

Lydia Skittles Isolt longed for Hogwarts, thus she might have taken it as an inspiration for Ilvermorny.

Yup
the "weird tree" was planted much later at hogwarts because of Remus
@Micheal Ellis yeah, because ungrateful kids like you are so entitled.
I hope that someday we'll be able to see Ilvermorny represented in a game or book. Something like Hogwarts legacy but ilvermorny. I want to see the HP universe beyond it's Hogwarts and English setting, it seems so interesting.
Despite all the controversy behind J.K. Rowling rn, it is undoubtedly true that she has created one of the most beloved, creative, and fascinating magical worlds to date.

A muggle from the 1600s lived to be over a hundred that’s more of a miracle than anything
I agree
Wow, that’s almost _magical_ ;)
Theodore Rees Well he did have access to wizard medicines
She probably used magic to help keep her husband alive
There were people in past centuries before modern healthcare who managed to reach 100 and sometimes even a little over, but they were extremely rare.
Does anyone else think that Issolt's childhood and Harry's childhood were kinda similar.
Both of their parents were killed and they were taken by their (quite honestly abusive) aunts. For different reasons their aunts tried to change the way the kids parents taught them (Petunia wanted to get rid of magic and Gormlith, idk if it's spelt correct, wanted to change what kind of magic she was being taught).
When they were given their Hogwarts acceptance letters both aunts didn't let them go. After that it's all different but yeah, similar in the beginning.
Both of could speak parseltoung both sets of parents were killed by decendents of Slytherin both were the only ones to survive both fought those decendents of Slytherin and both won in the end and got their dream job. Yeah I'm definitely feeling some deja vu 😆😊
Don't forget that both villains were also thwarted by "the power of love."
@@if7294 True! I forgot that part.
I've watched the presentation of the story of how Ilvermorny was created, and it's white man's burden pure and simple. It's established that there's magical being all over the Earth, including in the "new world" so why wouldn't the native tribes that had shamans and medicine men, and witch doctors have their own system to train those among their tribes who have such powers? The answer is the Harry Potter fans want a great white savior to establish a Eurocentric school because God knows the original inhabitants of North, South and Central America never could have done it.
Well Harry didn’t reply and as for isolt her aunt just declined
It’s fascinating how the school was started by the union of magical and non magical folk. And then much later MCUSA (I don’t know if it’s shown as that or something else) would outlaw the union of magical and no mags when it most likely started out with the ideal that that could happen. Which means either something happened, or someone came in and trampled on that ideal.
I think it's because after a few decades Ilvermorny had been established, a wizard called Robert or something married/wanted to marry a Muggle and it blew up the wizards' cover. It was the first time the wizards were almost discovered after the Statute of Secrecy became a thing and even led to major prosecution of wizardkind in America eventually resulting in the deaths of four witches with two of them being children, so the MACUSA at the time took drastic measures to prevent it from ever happening again - a ban on a Muggle-magical union.
It's shown as "MACUSA" or Magical Conress of the United States of America
Magical (MA)
Congress (C)
United (U)
States (S)
America (A)
Merica
Well you also have to realize everyone in the world did the same thing, probably because they started to fear the normal people, something to think about is the “magical world” is just the real world, the wizard governments just keep it away from the non magical people and so it’s separated from the magical world and the non magical world, or really, the real world and the cover up world
As they should.
It's cool that a muggle/no-maj was one of the creators and the first headmaster of the school
He was black and they had to hire one out of four. Lmao
@@foreal69tu50 - 🙄 Get bent, dude.

This goes to show that not all slytherins are bad.
Snape wasn't, either. And probably a good number of Voldemort's followers that came from Slytherin would never have joined him if they'd been treated right. What did they expect, telling 11 year old CHILDREN they're evil from the moment they sort into Slytherin, ridiculing and humiliating them and ostracizing the whole house with even the teachers in on it? Tell someone long enough they're good for nothing and evil and they'll internalize it. Prejudice, people...not only Slytherin and Voldemort suffered from it. And if you treat people badly, eventually they'll lash out. Also, if I'd been a Slytherin being humiliated and all that and Voldemort (who, in the beginning was a real charmer) would have offered to help me become great, give me the abilities to protect myself from ever being hurt like that again, power to be recognized...I doubt I would have believed my tormentors claiming the guy was bad news. And by the time I'd realize Voldemort's evil, it would be too late. I don't think Voldemort reacted well to traitors (speaking of those that had been in his ranks but defected) or people who clearly showed an interest and suddenly decide "no, actually, not for me, sorry" Once you were on Voldy's radar, you were pretty much f*cked.
but also she wasn't sorted... so who knows if she would have been chosen for another house
I’m a Slytherin myself and I like to consider myself a good person :D

Elias Story was actually a passenger on the Mayflower in real life, but dies within the first year of arriving in the new world.

A really awesome way to get a new life from one cut so short.
Ever since I learned there was a North American school. My first thought was, "WHERE IS MY ILVERMORNY LETTER????"
it mentioned every human of magical power is accepted to Ilvermorny (unlike Hogwarts where you're chosen) so i guess if it was meant to be we'd only be able to hear about Ilvermorny through the vines and have to register ourselves. a letter would've been super cool and made each of us feel super special though. lol

Thunderbirds are also part of Native folklore, cant remember the tribes name but I know Blue Jacket and Little Turtle used them as a symbol on banners during wars against Colonials.

How is it dumbledore never invited this school to hogwarts for the wizard cup

@@JJSmith-le5mu Oh calm down, you big baby. The cruel treatment of native people is a sick fact that we should all be made aware of, but I doubt Rowling knew anything resembling that travesty when she wrote this, nor had its base concept in mind as inspiration. Not every story written by a white person has a conscious or subconscious "white man superior" message etched into its soul. I did not at all see anything in the story about white people acting as a superior or condescending comparison toward something in stringent regards to the native peoples; just four European settlers who traveled to America for their own reasons, but who somehow came together based on circumstance and who all ultimately developed a familial bond strong enough to build up a dream and face off against a monstrous force of evil, while at the same time encountering preternatural beings who were based off folkloric creatures native to America. And last I checked, those who attend Ilvermorny all come solely of their own volition instead of being forced into it by biased local law or necessity. Where's your suspension of disbelief!

J.K. was missing old Voldemort, so she created Gormlaith.. female version of Voldy.
Celeste • eh...I don’t know if she was on the same level as voldy. She certainly wasn’t immortal like voldy had made himself, at least insofar as it took years of preparation and hard work of several witches and wizards young and old for just a chance of things going right. I think Gormlaith would be a closer analog to lucious Malloy. A bitter fairly powerful but not overly exceptional pure blood. Or maybe even better like Sirius Black’s Mom.
Well it's not as if Voldemort was the first to have those ideas either. A lot of wizards had the same elitist attitudes and have probably attempted to make a grab for power.

I think the ilvermorny story would make a solid tv series, it’s dark, it has humour and action, I feel like I wanna see more of the wizarding world, I’m from London and we have so much story and history on the wizarding world thanks to potter but I’d be happy if another writer collaborated with jk and we got series set in Ilvermorny or beauxbatons, especially Ilvermorny, because it’s story has a solid beginning middle and end that could then be embellished with new ideas, we know wizardry is global let’s see it from another perspective, fantastic beasts is alright but like it’s newts story but involves Grindelwald we know newt isn’t the one who beats Grindelwald, the whole basis of his story is just weird, why not have a new story or something like the ilvermorny story portrayed on screen? Not everything about the wizarding world needs to link back to the potter series it’s so much bigger now
Wow amazing
I really agree
Yeah I wish they could make one about Beauxbatons
I'm working on my own story of a different Wizarding School. It started based on Harry Potter but I wanted go a lot farther with it and now I'm changing things up to make it in to an original work instead of a fan work of JKR's work. And while turning it into its own thing it started to grow and suddenly I was writting the laws and rules for a government for a completely different Wizarding society. So far it's just world building I guess, I'm kind of establishing how their society works while coming up with traditions and culture. I haven't yet gotten to the history and how evrything came to be. I'm saving that for the very last I suppose. My Wizarding world is set in Germany and is (maybe) planned to expand to France, Italy, Russia, Turkey etc. But the main focus is still Germany. Simply because there are so many Dark academia places here and it has been making me want to write something witchy for ages. Though I'm not sure how I will coleberate the world wars into the Wizarding history when I do finally sit down to write it.
Once I've completed the world building for it I'd actually like to write a story in the setting I created but as It's now I haven't actually come up with one.
This isn't my first time world building although I never had to search up so much history and so many laws and consider so many tiny details before but I'm still having a lot of fun with this project and I now for sure that I will do something with it in the future. Be it a book (series?) or a graphic novel / comic, animated youtube series, I will make something out of this.
I've watched the presentation of the story of how Ilvermorny was created, and it's white man's burden pure and simple. It's established that there's magical being all over the Earth, including in the "new world" so why wouldn't the native tribes that had shamans and medicine men, and witch doctors have their own system to train those among their tribes who have such powers? The answer is the Harry Potter fans want a great white savior to establish a Eurocentric school because God knows the original inhabitants of North, South and Central America never could have done it.
Applause to J.K.R for this , reading between the line at the end and the deeper meaning “IMO” , is the American dream she made her own, the magical school she never had so she made her own.
It very much like a lot of immigrant success story or refugee success story . Coming to America and persevering through the hard times but to make your dream come true.
Wow, American wand control is better than American gun control.
Azy Draws
I’m wheezing! That’s so accurate it hurts!
Ikt
I mean, I can walk into Walmart and pick up one with a few hundred rounds for at most $100!
Oh wait, nerf guns.
And guess what? In America, children aren’t supposed to have guns. People want to ban guns entirely, instead, it should be as follows: you must own a gun safe, and everyone in the household must be mentally stable unless their doctor has given the OK that the unstable person is safe enough to carry a firearm(like ADHD or autism possibly)
Azy Draws there’s already background checks. So I just listed what I’d add. So in total
1. Gun safe
2. No criminals/only reformed criminals
3. Mental stability
Flyingturret208: The Cannon
That’s what people who talk about gun control want. We don’t want no guns, we just want it to be as regulated as cars, which it currently isn’t.
Holy crap, this is such an AMAZING video!!! It's almost 30 minutes long and I was too involved with it that time seemed to breeze right on by.
Thank you for such an incredible story.
I hope you have a wonderful one!!!
Ya same it reminded me of when I watched an series with 6 episodes each one hour
He read it word-for-word from Pottermore.
I couldn’t agree more
Don't swear
Lisa Rowley, - I apologize. I honestly never knew that was considered a swear word.
I've just thought of something... Could Terry Boot, a Ravenclaw in Harry's year be a descendant of Webster Boot?????
please let me think that I'm not crazy/ the only one in thinking this
I had the same thought!
Michelle oh my god you might be right
Oh my god
I'm not sure but I think Terry Boot is a muggleborn
Omg, glad I'm not the only one who noticed. I noticed it about a year ago and found your comment now.
You made that sound like a true history lesson, an interesting history lesson. Nice work!
I really hope J.K. creates a book and movies about this. I would love to see the history of American magic.
OK, so she is a far relative of Voldy? That is cool cause Voldy is related to the founders of Hogwarts and Ilvermory...
i mean many wizards are related because of that pure blood bs so it’s not that strange
@20th or so time i changed my name Voldemort is names Various times as an heir to Slytherin, while the riddles were half-blood, he was also part of the gaunt family. So yes, they are related.
Also harry and Voldemort are cousins so...
Ha Mouldy Voldy
So not only voldenort is realted to 2 founders of famous schools the brothers who made the deathly hallows and Harry Potter himself damn he got badass descendents
Who thinks movie flame is so fun to watch
Meeeeeeeeeee
Meeeeeeeeeeeee
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Me
Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Honestly, there could be an entire spin-off dedicated to this school, Ilvermorny. Each book could be about a different group of students, like an anthology series. It doesn't even have to be connected to Hogwarts in any way.
Sadly more spin-off stories with different protagonists only appearing in british setting
I feel like there should be at least one movie for each of the different magical school like beauxbatons,ilvermorny and durmstrang
@Judy Chow in the books I believe they are both coed
@Judy Chow Co-Ed means its boy and girl school and does not tend to a specific gender.
At least 1 BOOK. FUCK YOUR MOVIES!!!
I totally agree. We would love to know more about each one.
I'd watch all of them
Imagine how Chadwick must've felt, sixteen years old fighting his childhood nightmare, his little brother (his last blood relative), baby sisters and parents all behind him and their lives all resting on him protecting them all.
Sounds familiar, oh wait, yeah we have that he's called Harry I think.
@@live_laugh_watermelon7801 apart from the little brother , the baby’s sisters and his parents . But sure go off
Chadwick was the Harry Potter of the colonial USA.
This comment actually made cry. So we’ll said.
He was such a Chad
Awww I feel so bad for Martha being a squib. It must really suck to see all your siblings get to learn amazing magic but you're left out. Only thing that makes it better is her family is awesome and accepting and dad also doesn't have magic so she has someone to connect to. Still sucks though, I can imagine how disappointing that would be, especially at that young age.
Sad I'm pretty sure she might get at least talked to behind her back because (maybe) some students see her as the useless family member, it's good to know that James live with her because it would be way difficult to live in a place where everyone around you are magic users
Probably why Filch turned out as grumpy as he did
@DODmof filch was grumpy because he was jealous of the students. If ur gonna be jealous about magical students, don't work in a magical school...
@@potter286Yeah. Considering how Filch backed Umbridge, you can bet how unfair it can be being a squib.
I can't stop watching this video. From the music in the background to your actual voice and the incredible story... It's probably every several weeks to few months, but I always look for this version of the story. I still feel that childlike entertainment that I got from reading and rereading the books so many years ago. So thanks. :)
"You dealing with muggles is dangerous! Let me show it... by murdering you!!!!" - Yeahhh. The reasonable, logical Gaunt family, decendants of Slytherin.
The Gaunts are literally inbred racists. Not the smartest type.
Yeah there's a big reason they didn't make the cut for ravenclaw...

Because a large number of HP fans posting here are missing the point of what I've written, I'm going to spell it right out for them. That is, HP fans, a large majority of whom are white, want JKR to create a white, eurocentric magic school in the "new world". The reason being is that those fans can't stomach the idea that non-whites would produce such a school (even in fiction), and JKR is exploiting that desire. Do you disagree, why? If you agree, and you support the idea of a white, eurocentric magic school in the "new world", tell me why. Is white better?
@@JJSmith-le5mu shut up
"This tree seemed testament to the fact that Slytherin’s wand, like his scattered descendants, encompassed both noble and ignoble. The very best of him seemed to have migrated to America." I don't know why but these lines really speak to me.
makes me laugh, one of the founders of Ilvermorny was a no-mag but at the time of fantastic beasts it was against the magical law for a magic user and no-mag to be together. doesnt sound right...lol
laws must be created sometime, they haven't always existed. Its also possible for laws to come and go ;)
Because the leaders of macusa were corrupt and wanted pure bloods. But we'll see in fantastic beasts 3
America basically.
The Salem witch trials and other bloody conflicts with no-maj's led to laws prohibiting contacting with non magical society.
Yeah lots of American things don’t sound right
You’re such an excellent storyteller. I’ve watched other videos on this history and yours is by far the most interesting and engaging. You’re the perfect narrator for these videos.
Aunt kills both her parents and kidnaps her. “Isolt knew her aunt was SOMEWHAT insane”
Killing with knowing what your doing is not insane is pure evil

Aha oho but he has da Elda wnad
This would make an amazing movie it would be a shame if it didn’t go into production
Honestly I would rather watch this than the Fantastic Beasts movies, it just sounds so much more interesting and original, whereas the Fantastic Beast movies are trying to connect with the Harry Potter movies.
I'd watch it even if it was animated
An animated Harry Potter spin off...... I like the sound of that......
@@hexor0846 An animated movie on Ilvermorny sounds so f-ing awesome!!
I wouldn't say 'original'... two dead parents, killed by an evil jerk, hunted by said jerk, speaks to snakes, I mean, it's trans Harry (I would still totally love and watch these movies tho xD)
I cried when I read how William secretly went on staying there and how much he must miss Isolt that he doesnt let anyone else polish her statue and secretly lays Mayflowers at her grave. This hidden concern is so touching.
Imagine chillin one day as a normal guy with no magic and then suddenly founding the Harvard equivalent for Wizards.
Is it me or do I want to see this as a movie or several. I read this but how he told this story is so beautiful.
Lil similarities To HP
But boy is it wonderful
Not the only one, but what we get instead is Cursed Child -_-

This kind of "audio lore videos" is gold for many fictional universes, you can do something else (eating, walking, waiting you bus...)...and learn a lot of things :)

Please do a video about Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, since they were in the triwizard tournament
there is not much back info about those schools... you can read about ilvermorny on pottermore
I think he made a video for beauxbatons if im not mistaken.
the real question is if America has a magic school why isn't it in the tournament, is there a vote as to which 3 schools all over the world get to do it every 4 years or something
Afaik, the triwizard tournament has been held by Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang for centuries, breaking the tradition during the 1700's and reprising when the HP novels take place, so Ilvermorny and other schools were probably not founded before it was conceived, they were founded when it was inactive, or the triwizard tournament was restricted to Europe, making those 3 the only wizarding schools in the area.
the durmstrang were founded by stalin himself as a communist ploy to beat the capitalistic hogwarts it is our favourite magic school after all
Edit: i made a mistake our favourite school
I live in Massachusetts I'm going to find ilvermorny
So do I. Take me with u
@@harmonyeveritt3472 it's near salem

Morgan I can't explain the rush of excitement I feel whenever I see you've uploaded! The effort you put in these amazing~
Exactly!! Was about to say the same thing!
Wow. Another A.R.M.Y. like me. Noticed from the channel picture.
"Because he moved his family of Pukwudgies into the house the next day and helped them repair the damage that Gormlaith had caused. He then announced that the wizards were too dim to protect themselves and negotiated a hefty salary in gold for acting as the schools private security and maintenance service."
And that's when I decided, goddamn it I love William
Pugwudgie's part of the story is very Harry Potter to me. Just the fact that he appreciated James tribute to pugwudgies but thanks them by basically saying "wizards cant protect themselves so I guess I have to"
William (Pukwudgie) is a tsundere.
@@chrisd.1412 Second it🥰🥰🥰
Your channel is insanely good with its Potter content. After i read all the books as a child/teen, I was very disappointed with the lack of respect for source material demonstrated by WB and kinda fell out of love with all things Potter. With the new open world RPG game coming out soon i've found my love again rekindled. This video was great and I appreciate all the time and dedication that you put into these videos. I've even started a fan faction taking place in modern times; cant have light without darkness right?
