The fact that u need a parent/guardian signature just for going to Hogsmede. But you don’t need a signature when u play a dangerous sport where you could get badly injured
Apparently wizards are better at treating injuries than hangovers and STDs. Or it may be some british precidental law thing about leaving school grounds.
Yeah Harry Potter actually got injuried when that crazy Quaffle ball was going against him over and over. (Edit: Sorry it was a Buldger ball the one that almost kills Harry)
The thing about the lack of technology at Hogwarts is that the magic wavelengths or whatever around the school disrupt anything technological from working at all. It was mentioned in the books at some point.
Book 4. When malfoy was mumbling to the beetle Skeeter but Harry deducted that he was talking into a earpiece or something. Hermione points out that no such devices would work inside Hogwarts grounds
When it comes to technology people keep forgetting how far we've gone in past 20 years. Harry is supposed to be Gen X. Hardly anyone had a cell phone as a teen, there were no smartphones yet. Internet was slow and not easily accessible, no free WiFi, no TH-cam, FB, etc. Things were just starting. At that point your wand would be much cooler and magic would be more advanced than any muggle technology.
The wand would be cooler, yes, but magic being more advanced than muggel technology? Not really. Even back in the 90s you had video game consoles, cassette decks (Walkman), VHS and portable CD players (and by the end of that decade the first MP3 players, Discman and so on).
You know something is wrong when your headmaster says: "The second floor corridor is outbounds for every student that don't want a particularly violent death". (Faith of errata: it's the 3rd floor not the 2nd)
You need the read the Novels again Watchmojo. The DADA post is cursed, that's why no Teacher can stay at that post for more than a year. Even Snape, who was the DADA teacher became Headmaster in the 7th year.
Imagine you’re an introvert teen trying to blend in and keeping away from spotlight and then receive a howler in front of massive people. Wow! Perfect timing! Thanks for boosting my confidence 😅

zuky35 Well, they have moving portraits that can talk and communicate with people, but picture it, the problem of knowing who put Harry’s name into the Goblet of Fire would’ve been solved a lot faster if Hogwarts had higher security. Imagine if Barty Crouch Jr. disguised as Moody got caught trying Harry’s name into the Goblet of Fire, he would’ve been immediately sent to Azkaban. If that happened, Harry wouldn’t have joined the Triwizard Tournament, he wouldn’t have had people yelling “POTTER STINKS” in front of him all the time, and Voldemort wouldn’t have resurrected to his full form.
zuky35 Just think of it. There are werewolves, giant spiders, trolls, dragons, and other deadly creatures, but what’s worse is the Dementors. Just imagine one inside your room sucking your soul out while you’re sleeping. Also, imagine sleeping at night and you suddenly get affected by lycanthropy after being bitten by a werewolf like what happened to Remus when he got bitten by Fenrir Greyback when he was little, you wouldn’t want to live in a place where death and harm is a very common thing. In addition, you might encounter people who would use magic the bad way like breaking into other people’s houses and stealing stuff just by saying “Alohamora” to unlock the door. I’m not saying that all wizards do that, it’s just that life at the the Wizarding World isn’t as easy as one might think.
@The God Emperor Himself Which is kind of a plot hole, because of Collin's camera. Not magical, and the pictures only get magical (start moving and so on) when develloped in a special potion.

Even if Malfoy helped Harry in the chamber of secrets, I'm sure Dumbledore would still award slytherin house 200 points
Well, I mean the defense against the dark arts was cursed so the teacher wouldn’t be able to attend a year by Voldemort... but he was killed so the curse would probably be lifted
The story of Harry potter was actually set in the 90s so smuggling in smart phones was a non-issue. however, i have no idea why they use quills instead of pencils or ballpoint pens because those did exist.
I'm a slytherin and I can imagine how irritating it would be to be there and watch gryffindor win the house cup constantly, even if you worked all year for extra house points.
LOL! Before Harry came to Hogwarts, Snape made Slytherin win the House Cup six years in a row. But yeah, evil, I mean, cunning Slytherins conveniently forget about that.
Same with being a Ravenclaw. I am so sick and tired of Gryfendor. They are just so annoying I was really tired of them by the end of the books. It was almost as though J.K. Rowling was expecting us to show favouritism towards them. I just find them to be arrogant, full of themselves, and… Now I'm at a loss for adjectives to describe them. I suppose one thing you could say about Slytherin is, if they are supposed to be bad, at least it's in your face. With Gryfendors there is so much pretense. They pretend to be all rebellious, yet really they are just shifting Hearo worship from one personality cult to another. It is a house that completely lacks any kind of critical thinking whatsoever. It is a house populated with people that are just completely in capable of travelling the middle ground on anything and actually thinking something through. It's all just how "brave" you are and how well you worship your favourite hero. Nope, the house drives me nuts and I hate it Farmoor than Slytherin.
Everything in the real world has it's ups and downs for a stable balance, why should the wizarding world b any different. Defense Against the Dark Arts class had a curse on by Voldemort for being denied the teaching job by Dumbledore years ago, to always have different teacher each year. And now that he's gone the curse is broken.
thulani marsh the giant snake, killer tree and 3 headed dog are under the lack of rules and regulations/ high chances of death and injuries categories But, I do give you one for the ghosts though. I think a Lack of privacy ( like the thumbnail suggest) is a good category for the ghost
Students had died in Hogwarts and still remain as ghosts, like Moaning Myrtle, it's criminal that the staff don't move a finger about the tortured souls that roam the castle or just occupy a frame on the walls.
Oliver F. Well, we don’t known how many that have died in the castle. While other ghost is just, I think, are invited or just the place they attach to most. Like the defendant of the founders. While other, I think is just choose to haunt the castle, because I can’t imagine anyone want Peeves around; however, yes, I do agree with you that the Headmaster should tried to do something about the unwanted spirit. I imagine that are climbing the moving staircase and one of them jump out and scare you Once again, Lack of rules and regulations
@@Ecl1pse09 Another good example of it is Nearly Headless Nick he used to attend Hogwarts and he'd been around since 1492, even if Nick likes his five centuries of being a ghost (which I doubt) it is disgusting and traumatic for the young students.
Dumbledore: Welcome, everyone to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a place I assure you is safe for children and has absolutely no history that might threaten our entire existence. But there is huge killer snake downstairs.... and a giant, vicious three headed dog... and a tree that can kill you... and man-sized spiders that can eat your face... And-- McGonagall: Thank you, Professor Dumbledore! That will be all. As he was saying, welcome to-- Hermione: These candles are dripping wax everywhere! -"How Harry Potter Should Have Ended, HISHE"
The Deffense Against the Dark Arts class never actually taught the kids anything useful except in the case of Bartimeous "Barty" Crouch Jr using polyjuice to look like Alastor Moody. (Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention Professor Lupin, but besides Lupin and Barty Crouch no DADA teacher taught them anything useful)
I fully agree with a lot of them, especially number 2. You will be prejudiced your whole school life just because you are in Slytherin. "Every bad wizard comes from Slytherin". You really see how bad this is when you have red The cursed child. Everybody bullies or avoid Harry's son just because of it.
3:26 In my high school, most of the funding went to sports, leaving close to nothing for music and arts. Having said that, I'd GLADLY go to a school that focuses on more than athletics.
"Only one sport" Problem A: This isnt just hogwarts. It's the entire wizarding world. Problem B: Gobstones and wizards chess, plus technically the triwizard tournament exist.
Something that must've been unpleasant about Lupin's class would be facing the Boggart. I'm not sure if I'd be happy about my whole class knowing my worst fear.
The technology thing...this storyline is before smart phones and the popularity of the internet...wifi didn't exist when Harry was at Hogwarts and neither did smartphones. Just saying.
Rebecca - WatchMojo According to Hogwarts: A History, muggle technology like computers and satellites would go haywire due to all the magic going around them. Just imagine living in the modern era of he 2020s and students at Hogwarts are still using owls to send messages to others while Muggles can use smartphones to send messages in only a few seconds without having owl feathers and poop falling on top of you or on your delicious food. I mean, it’s a lot easier sending a message through a phone rather than using a poor owl that has to fly hundreds of miles just to send a single message to communicate with someone else.
The reason why the dada teacher keeps changing is bc Voldemort applied for the position but was denied, and so he placed a curse on the position from that point onward
I stopped at 1:59, when I realized you're basing so much of this list on the damn _movies_ again. Scrolling down through the comments before watching the rest of the list proved me (mostly) right, since there'd be no danger at all from staircases enclosed in an atrium-like space. I've been railing against this every time it comes up because the people who made the movies misinterpreted so much of the novels. Having grown up watching numerous Hollywood films involving castles and forts, I knew instantly what Rowling meant by staircases changing between floors: they're in the _walls,_ people, where you can't see the upper or lower ends. I can understand when movies are shortened for _time:_ it's okay to leave things out if they don't change plot lines, but Hollywood has a nasty habit of chopping important things, supposedly for time---then adding their own junk that serves no purpose and doesn't further the plot. _Read the books, WatchMojo!_
The changing teacher thing was kinda explained in the bookes. Tom Riddle wanted to be the professor of the defence against the dark magic but Dumbledore didn't agree on that. After that every year there would be a new professor and Dumbledore suspected he cursed this position somehow. Perhaps that is also why the guy with Voldemort on his head (and fake Moody) could be hired because Voldemort had the control over this
4:12 I'm just going to throw this out there wizard chess club it works for several reasons 1. it gives the more strategic-minded students a chance to shine 2. it's a lot less dangerous than quidditch assuming that it's being played on small boards and not that giant board in the third floor 3. it's less convoluted than quidditch mainly because wizard chess plays the same as regular chess only the pieces are alive (also side note it's really messed up that the pieces are alive just for them to kill each other)4. it takes less time to play than quidditch and 5. it's another way to earn house points in conclusion there is literally no downside to this idea everybody wins well except for the living chess pieces I guess
@@adamjustadam You're right though, the kids in the books do care about house points, and so the non-existent/arbitrary/biased house point system would totally suck for those kids.
I think the thing that's always bugged me the most about Hogwarts or just the wizarding world in general is the way food can just magically appear. Why then does hunger still exist? And yes, I know there is a troubled history between muggles and the wizarding world. But wouldn't the witches and wizards be like the best humanitarians if they magically ended world hunger? The muggles wouldn't even have to know where or how the food got there. They're fricken witches and wizards for god's sake.
Gamp's law of elemental transfiguration means unless you've got the food somewhere else, you've already got food that you can multiply, or you've got food you can fix up, no. And duplication isn't a valid option, it's gonna take a lot of time and I don't think the food will keep its nutritional content.
Okay, when Mcgonagall said the dungeons, she was sending them to their house commons/dorms since the Slytherin house is in the dungeons. Also, phones, snuck in or not, wouldn't work. Something about magic in the Hogwarts makes electronics not work. Mechanical pencils and such could probably work (over quills) but phones, computers, etc. dont work. And there are some innovations mentioned in the book. Modern plumbing replaced chamber pots, so I think it's not medieval per se, it's just hard to bring innovations into the old castle.

The fact that u need a parent/guardian signature just for going to Hogsmede. But you don’t need a signature when u play a dangerous sport where you could get badly injured

I suppose one thing you could say about Slytherin is, if they are supposed to be bad, at least it's in your face. With Gryfendors there is so much pretense. They pretend to be all rebellious, yet really they are just shifting Hearo worship from one personality cult to another. It is a house that completely lacks any kind of critical thinking whatsoever. It is a house populated with people that are just completely in capable of travelling the middle ground on anything and actually thinking something through. It's all just how "brave" you are and how well you worship your favourite hero. Nope, the house drives me nuts and I hate it Farmoor than Slytherin.
@@kalebwick3429 I like Hufflepuffs. I'm not one, but on good terms with them.
Everything in the real world has it's ups and downs for a stable balance, why should the wizarding world b any different.
Defense Against the Dark Arts class had a curse on by Voldemort for being denied the teaching job by Dumbledore years ago, to always have different teacher each year. And now that he's gone the curse is broken.
Let See:
Biases teachers and Staff: Looking at you Snape and Dumbledore
Lack of rules and regulations
Corruption
High chance of death and injuries
Sounds like fun! XD
thulani marsh the giant snake, killer tree and 3 headed dog are under the lack of rules and regulations/ high chances of death and injuries categories
But, I do give you one for the ghosts though. I think a Lack of privacy ( like the thumbnail suggest) is a good category for the ghost
Students had died in Hogwarts and still remain as ghosts, like Moaning Myrtle, it's criminal that the staff don't move a finger about the tortured souls that roam the castle or just occupy a frame on the walls.
Oliver F. Well, we don’t known how many that have died in the castle. While other ghost is just, I think, are invited or just the place they attach to most. Like the defendant of the founders. While other, I think is just choose to haunt the castle, because I can’t imagine anyone want Peeves around; however, yes, I do agree with you that the Headmaster should tried to do something about the unwanted spirit.
I imagine that are climbing the moving staircase and one of them jump out and scare you
Once again, Lack of rules and regulations
@@Ecl1pse09
Another good example of it is Nearly Headless Nick he used to attend Hogwarts and he'd been around since 1492, even if Nick likes his five centuries of being a ghost (which I doubt) it is disgusting and traumatic for the young students.
There needs to be a “top ten things wrong with this video” ........ did you read the books?
I'll still go to Hogwarts
Yeah, I would too. :)
Dumbledore: Welcome, everyone to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, a place I assure you is safe for children and has absolutely no history that might threaten our entire existence. But there is huge killer snake downstairs.... and a giant, vicious three headed dog... and a tree that can kill you... and man-sized spiders that can eat your face... And--
McGonagall: Thank you, Professor Dumbledore! That will be all. As he was saying, welcome to--
Hermione: These candles are dripping wax everywhere!
-"How Harry Potter Should Have Ended, HISHE"
Imagine taking the last step, or the first step, on one of those staircases, and it spins, causing you to drop several floors.
The Deffense Against the Dark Arts class never actually taught the kids anything useful except in the case of Bartimeous "Barty" Crouch Jr using polyjuice to look like Alastor Moody. (Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention Professor Lupin, but besides Lupin and Barty Crouch no DADA teacher taught them anything useful)
Lupin?
@@michaelrussell3890
You're right, Rufus Lupin was a good teacher, I have corrected my original statement.
The worst time at Hogwarts wasn't even the battle of Hogwarts.
It was the reign of the pink dementor
"Being the same year as Harry's " SERIOUSLY
I fully agree with a lot of them, especially number 2. You will be prejudiced your whole school life just because you are in Slytherin. "Every bad wizard comes from Slytherin". You really see how bad this is when you have red The cursed child. Everybody bullies or avoid Harry's son just because of it.
3:26 In my high school, most of the funding went to sports, leaving close to nothing for music and arts. Having said that, I'd GLADLY go to a school that focuses on more than athletics.

Problem A: This isnt just hogwarts. It's the entire wizarding world.
Problem B: Gobstones and wizards chess, plus technically the triwizard tournament exist.
The staircases change because Rowena Ravenclaw wanted to continually challenge the students to keep their minds sharp.
And this is why no one liked Rowena Ravenclaw.
Smartphones werent around when these films came out. Maybe the last 2 movies.
The plot is set in the 90's

Unfortunately, we also get Lockhart and Quirrell...
6:18 - Dangerous animals live in the wild, is that one of the worst things about the muggle world as well?
8:17 then it will give you choices. Harry had all the traits of gryffindor and Slytherin. Hence the hat gave him a choice to choose.
I don‘t care that there are bad things I‘d still give everything to go to Hogwarts 😂
I’m sorry, I don’t see anything wrong with going to Hogwarts

Living in medieval period lifestyle is actually one of the features of Hogwarts.
In the case of the basilisk. They didn’t know it was down there and they tried many times to find the chamber multiple times and failed
Wasnt this time period set in the late 80's and 90's so smart phones wouldnt be a thing yet
I don't think the sorting is a bad thing. It sorts you in the house that matches you the best.
Gryffindor!! 🦁❤💛
Slytherin😒🙄😈🤫
Books are way better when it comes to studying, as long as you have enough to give you all the info you need
Something that must've been unpleasant about Lupin's class would be facing the Boggart. I'm not sure if I'd be happy about my whole class knowing my worst fear.
The sorting hat always takes into account where the student wants to study and not just decides on it’s own
Forgot to mention the race of centaurs that live in the dark forest
They will not harm hagrid when he's with his young
The technology thing...this storyline is before smart phones and the popularity of the internet...wifi didn't exist when Harry was at Hogwarts and neither did smartphones. Just saying.
Alex Wyly Yeah but Hogwarts is still very antiquated, even if you take Wi-Fi and cell phones out of the equation...
Rebecca - WatchMojo According to Hogwarts: A History, muggle technology like computers and satellites would go haywire due to all the magic going around them. Just imagine living in the modern era of he 2020s and students at Hogwarts are still using owls to send messages to others while Muggles can use smartphones to send messages in only a few seconds without having owl feathers and poop falling on top of you or on your delicious food. I mean, it’s a lot easier sending a message through a phone rather than using a poor owl that has to fly hundreds of miles just to send a single message to communicate with someone else.
Slytherin house helps during the Battle of Hogwarts. Slughorn (with help of course) even takes on Voldemort.
#1, Death everywhere!
AHHH JOHN WILLIMS MUSIC IS SO GREAT TOUCHES HEART..
DJ VINAY YASSSSSS
I'm still waiting for my Hogwart's letter :(
The reason why the dada teacher keeps changing is bc Voldemort applied for the position but was denied, and so he placed a curse on the position from that point onward
The thing about Hogwarts, is you literally can't take modern muggles devices on the grounds.
Basically, your phone would blow up.
Are ballpoint pens and pencils too technologically advanced too?
@@mistyChacha I guess 😂😂
Even if it didn't (90s Nokia's being indestructible) you still wouldn't be able to get a signal
My school has worse teachers than Hogwarts
Number 1 should have been the constant friction that Hogwards has with the dark side, in my opinion
Me as a kid: I wanna go to Hogwarts!!!!
Me as an adult: this school is super f***ed up
Good old Stockholm syndrome
Agreed.
Well, Voldemort cast a curse on the position teacher of the dark arts. That the teacher will only have the position 1 school year.
I dont anybody would care about technology if they’re in a school of magic. I mean i wouldn’t...
I stopped at 1:59, when I realized you're basing so much of this list on the damn _movies_ again. Scrolling down through the comments before watching the rest of the list proved me (mostly) right, since there'd be no danger at all from staircases enclosed in an atrium-like space. I've been railing against this every time it comes up because the people who made the movies misinterpreted so much of the novels. Having grown up watching numerous Hollywood films involving castles and forts, I knew instantly what Rowling meant by staircases changing between floors: they're in the _walls,_ people, where you can't see the upper or lower ends. I can understand when movies are shortened for _time:_ it's okay to leave things out if they don't change plot lines, but Hollywood has a nasty habit of chopping important things, supposedly for time---then adding their own junk that serves no purpose and doesn't further the plot. _Read the books, WatchMojo!_
The changing teacher thing was kinda explained in the bookes. Tom Riddle wanted to be the professor of the defence against the dark magic but Dumbledore didn't agree on that. After that every year there would be a new professor and Dumbledore suspected he cursed this position somehow. Perhaps that is also why the guy with Voldemort on his head (and fake Moody) could be hired because Voldemort had the control over this
Imagine being called to the principals office only walk in on Dumbledore making out with one of the staff

4:12 I'm just going to throw this out there wizard chess club it works for several reasons 1. it gives the more strategic-minded students a chance to shine 2. it's a lot less dangerous than quidditch assuming that it's being played on small boards and not that giant board in the third floor 3. it's less convoluted than quidditch mainly because wizard chess plays the same as regular chess only the pieces are alive (also side note it's really messed up that the pieces are alive just for them to kill each other)4. it takes less time to play than quidditch and 5. it's another way to earn house points in conclusion there is literally no downside to this idea everybody wins well except for the living chess pieces I guess
The fact that everything you do can cause you to lose points for your faction I guess.
Adam Hill *Arbitrarily
Who even cares about house points, tbh?
Tbh I don’t know a lot about Harry Potter but it was the first thing I could think of.
@@adamjustadam You're right though, the kids in the books do care about house points, and so the non-existent/arbitrary/biased house point system would totally suck for those kids.
I think the thing that's always bugged me the most about Hogwarts or just the wizarding world in general is the way food can just magically appear. Why then does hunger still exist? And yes, I know there is a troubled history between muggles and the wizarding world. But wouldn't the witches and wizards be like the best humanitarians if they magically ended world hunger? The muggles wouldn't even have to know where or how the food got there. They're fricken witches and wizards for god's sake.
Gamp's law of elemental transfiguration means unless you've got the food somewhere else, you've already got food that you can multiply, or you've got food you can fix up, no. And duplication isn't a valid option, it's gonna take a lot of time and I don't think the food will keep its nutritional content.
Some people want to live in a medieval castle for ten months
Okay, when Mcgonagall said the dungeons, she was sending them to their house commons/dorms since the Slytherin house is in the dungeons.
Also, phones, snuck in or not, wouldn't work. Something about magic in the Hogwarts makes electronics not work. Mechanical pencils and such could probably work (over quills) but phones, computers, etc. dont work. And there are some innovations mentioned in the book. Modern plumbing replaced chamber pots, so I think it's not medieval per se, it's just hard to bring innovations into the old castle.
Judging by her clothes, Rebecca went to a club after this one
