Every time you give us a thumbs up a Narwhal gets its horn! (maybe..)
This is why I love SCB, they ask the questions I never knew I needed asked.
You watch these vids thats epic, good luck doing your viking things
IKR??
yo you watch them?
This is so true
"Michigan, nevada, wisconsin, pennsylvania, georgia?"
3:40 - "It doesn't seem safe to keep the sword in the Sorting Hat" LoL since when has Hogwarts ever cared about safety?!
Yeah, if Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world, maybe don't live in the wizarding world.
your saftey is not concerning in thin mome- ever
@@emilycheng5897 why did this make me laugh so much XD
@@d.ssociation Because it's funny
J: where is the sword Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia?
People who are constantly looking at the election map: hmm curious ... very curious.
It’s me. I’m the one looking at the election map.
it triggered something deep within me.
Thinking the same thing! Listing the swing states haha
Strange things going on in them states.
its ppppppretty obvious
"We learned in the Cursed Chil-"
No we didn't.
Yeah I pretend like cursed child doesn’t exist. ITS TRASH!
@@ash_lovesbooks Still amazes me the author calls it canon when she didn't write it, and goes against her own writing. I'm sure it was great for being fanfiction because that isn't meant to be accurate, but definitely not as canon. One of the many mistakes made.
I love the Cursed Child. It’s the stupidest fanfiction I’ve ever read!
(joke)
@@ash_lovesbooks so Harry’s son doesn’t exist?
@@stevencarenduff2623 nope, Harry's son is in the epilogue chapter of Deathly Hallows, so yes, he does exist
Schrodinger's Sword.
Question: Where is the sword?
Answer: Yes.
J: "the very place you may already be thinking of"
Me: "THE ROOM OF REQUIREMENT"
J: "Godrics Hollow"
oh...
The room of requirements doesn't actually have anything to do with vanished things, just stuff that students hid there from desperation.
@@juanmoreno6591 I thought the canonical reason is that the elves just throw all the discarded junk into the the room of requirements. Which if that's true, that's on par with the vanishing of dung in the middle of the halls.
@@juanmoreno6591 lol yeah I know that but it's still the first place my brain goes when talking about hidden objects
Glad to know I wasn't the only one thinking room of requirement.... I mean the magic itself seems to be very room of requirement..... the room presents itself to a person in need as does the sword it's possible they are either linked or that the room of requirement was created by Godric himself and thus the sword could be endowed with the same type of powers
Me too
"Where do Vanished objects go?"
"Into non-being, that is to say, everything."
TL;DR: magic.
A WIZARD DID IT
Both equally valid responses
As a Ravenclaw, I am horrible with these riddles! No wonder my back is bad. Constantly locked out of the dormitories!
@@kebert2thumbsup Me too! Terrible at riddles Ravenclaw buddies check!
That totally rolls off the tongue...
But i would be locked out 24/7
@@kebert2thumbsup same! I would be locked out because I would be overthinking the riddle.
Yeah I like that idea at the start, the sword changing shape to suit the current wielder. It's said to show itself to any Gryffindor in need, so why wouldn't it change itself to best suit them? That's why so many blade shapes exist in the first place, to be suited to person and purpose.
this implies that dumbledore is best suited to a saber aaand now I'm imaginign a swordfight with Grindelvald
It also would explain why Harry in the movie has an almost cartoonish sword because of his imagination
For some reason I thought this was part of the Potterverse lore already, but then I remembered it's a long established feature of the Percy Jackson universe, a series that I also read in middleschool.
I think I blend a lot of those worlds together as a result of that.
@@unhelpfulrevelations7989 Yeah the same thing happens to me a lot. And oh yeah Percy Jackson, that's why the idea seemed just so right to me! I totally forgot about the cool af weapons in the series till now.
But this makes no sense at all because otherwise Harry would have noticed the change when someone else has it in hand. I think he would have at least mentioned it right ?
I like the idea of the sword always being *clenched* inside the Sorting Hat, and that if it comes across a child it just can't sort, it simply releases and disposes of said child.
*Well that got dark.*
Biggest take away: King Arthur was a Gryffindor.
Does that make Gwen the Hufflepuff and Merlin the Ravenclaw (or vice vera)? Who’d be the Slytheri-Morgana. ... it’s.... it’s Morgana.
@@theamericanyoutuber Merlin was definitely a Ravenclaw. Gwen probably a Hufflepuff. Of course Morgana was a slytherin. Lancelot was probably a Slytherin too.
@@theamericanyoutuber Merlin was actually in Slytherin
Merlin was Slytherin and Arthur/Gwen weren’t a wizard and witch
@@joejoebrian1014 yeah, Lancelot would definitely be in slytherine
Jay: It just seems like simple safety precautions
Hogwarts: It seems like what now?
Roflmao
😂
Hahahahaha🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Safety precautions are for Muggles.
Hagrid: Ain’t no place safer except for Hogwarts!
Hogwarts: We endanger our students yearly
I always just assumed that it chilled on a shelf in Dumbledoors office. Or on one of those samurai sword holders
That’s what I thought too.... I could have sworn there was a scene in the books that said that... or is that just like a weird Mandala Effect? Lol
No the sword was in the office but it was duplicated and the original must have been hidden somewhere
probably tucked away in an umbrella holder in some forgotten storage room
I thought its in the hat ^^
Fun fact the samurai thing is called a scabbard
It is known through history that treasures were often hidden under churches and saints were often entombed below too. Perhaps Godric lies with his sword below the church in Godrics Hollow?
Makes so much sense!
maybe, but was he considered saint?🤔 would that change the matter?
Very well thought out 👍
@@Ellie_amanda to muggles, certain types of magic could be seen as miracles and mark him a saint.
@@Ellie_amanda Given the amount of wizards buried there it's likely that this church's congregation was made up of wizards and to wizards Gryffindor could very easily be view/treated like as a saint after he died. For that matter some Nobel's (which Gryffindor likely was) and famous author/poets where also buried this way as well. So Yeah he's most likely was buried in a crypt under the church or directly under alters floor as was common at the time.
"Hey remember when Voldemort walked in to Hogwarts and prematurely declaimed victory" - i heard a similar story yesterday...
Was his name Biden?
@@-Hyperdryve- No
@@-Hyperdryve- his name was Trump. Guy has a lot of death-eater like followers who hate our equivalent of non pure-bloods, can you guess what that is?
I mean he launched a global decrimilization act of homosexuality, decreased taxes for hard working Americans, signed two historic middle eastern peace agreements. Prior to covid had the best economy the US had seen in decades. But you know who does have “pure blood” ideals. Biden who on record said “I don’t want my kids growing up in a racial jungle” and who also went in opposition to gay marriage meanwhile trump supported gay marriage long before being president. But you know, 600k votes in an hour after no change in states for hours when it just all goes to Biden without a single one voting for trump, no election fraud right? If trump got 2 investigations off of no evidence, man Biden will have investigations on him the entire time he’s in office as well as being able to do nothing seeing as the senate and Supreme Court are majority Republican, as well as republicans having more representatives in the house than they’ve had in a long time. All I’m saying is even in 600K democrats, do you really believe the odds that not a single one voted trump?
@@marcusgarcia9992 what about the transgender military ban though?
Quote credit:
J.K. Rowling - Horrible Person
H we also says something about separating creator from creation in this video. Subtle, not-so-subtle stance on her hot takes on trans issues on Twitter, it looks like. Glad they addressed it, honestly.
When I saw that I laughed because this is the first time I have ever seen them this blunt
When J named off all the states that still haven’t counted all their votes I started dying
HAHAHAHA I JUST REALIZED
Omg you’re right😁
I heard that initially. And I was like..... wait a second. And had to rewind to fully appreciate
Brandon Hall it’s making my day
I don't get it
Theory: I think Gryffindor did a magical bamboozal on the goblins. They made it too only repond to Gryffindor, but did not realize that his student are in his house, like house name, as in all the student in that house share the last name Gryffidor, his kin. Harry Potter of house Gryffidor. Goblins like to deal in technicalities, so they were forced to deal with it.
That's a great theory
I love it! That's ingenious!
I love this theory!! They aren’t his blood, but by being in Gryffindor’s house, they are basically adopted into his family.
That makes perfect sense
I wonder if, just as a true gryffindor in need would get the sword from the hat... a starving hufflepuff would get a pile of pancakes?
Is there such a thing as a Hufflepuff that doesn't like pancakes?
Yes. Yes there is. That Hufflepuff is me. I need help.
@@Lokear lucky you, you're in the house of acceptance.
@@RobKinneySouthpaw so am i yet im arill judging them pankaces are the best
I would rather have something that transforms into my favorite food
that would have been cool to see in the story
Isn’t the sword held in the headmasters office? If you refer to “The Princes Tale”, Snape pulls the sword from behind a portrait hiding place to give it to Harry in the Forest of Dean. I always felt that the headmasters office was actually where Gryffindor liver at the school because of the Griffin staircase.
In the books, it's just a gargoyle. Love the griffin in the movies, though.
I think the sword was only stored there after Harry pulled it out of the hat
I like the idea of the sword chilling in a church in plain sight like "act like a cross. just a regular cross. nothing to see here"
I think that it most likely resides with godric gryffindor in his grave with him, but it let's just say teleports back and forth when needed

Somewhere in the Lake on Hogwarts grounds, is also a strong contender. There could have even been a lady of the lake in the form of a mermaid.
Or a giant squid
Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
The giant squid in the lake is a GIRL squid, making her the Lady of the Lake!!
I love that theory!!
@@biancabrooks280 that is what I said
Also, my theory on the Harry Potter Merlin: There's more than one Merlin, and the 10th century Merlin who is on the Chocolate Frog Card is named after the 6th century Merlin who helped King Arthur fight the Anglo-Saxons.
Muggles remember Merlin #1 for his part in the stories about King Arthur
Wizards remember Merlin #2 because Merlin #2 was more powerful and, idk...
Look, JK Rowling plays loose and fast with history. She has Hogwarts looking like a 16th century German castle even though it was built in pre-Norman Scotland. She puts Merlin hundreds of years *after* the first stories about Merlin were being told. She doesn't even acknowledge England has multiple distinct periods of history characterized by different groups taking over, she acts like everything was smooth and pre-ordained and the only conflict has ever been Muggles and Wizards. So this is the best explanation I got: Multiple wizards named Merlin, and two of them happened to get famous.
I think a simpler explanation:
It was intended as a story for kids and younger readers, whom would mostly neither know nor care about history, maybe at best an understanding of the more interesting parts. So she didn't care about putting in accurate historical data, including when Merlin was around.
To complicate matters, some of the information isn't actually stated in the books and was instead done simply for the movies, which could suggest some of these errors aren't even her but instead those working on the movies, namely producers, editors, set artists, and prop artists (I don't really care if those aren't proper position titles, you at least know what I mean).
Another thing to consider is that, being more myth than history, the stories of King Arthur and Merlin are hard to accurately pin down in history, with many historians believing them to be a mix of tales of several real historical figures mixed and exaggerated into one figure to make them seem even greater, though that's harder to prove and go with.
@@Kahadi The out-of-universe explanation doesn't help with the in-universe situation, but I appreciate the effort you put into your reply.
She doesn't act like that...
I always thought the castle has been updated and rebuilt, like medieval castles were in real life, so the school looking like 16th century german castle wouldn’t be such a plothole. I am sure jkr could come up with something like "there was a headmaster who was of german descent and loved the architecture" or "the headmaster x worked abroad before teaching and becoming headmaster" or maybe some story about some headmaster that visited durmstrang for triwizard tournament and was impressed by the style (durmstrang is in a germanic country and there were lots of germans in sweden, at a point 1/3 of stockholm’s population was german, so maybe german wizards built durmstrang in that style and Hogwarts ripped it off centuries after the building of the original castle
J: “It’s just simple safety precautions”
He said about a school that has had trolls dementors Literal flying brooms a teacher with you know who on his head A teacher who literally taught them the three worst curses known to man eventually teachers who just decided to teach dark arts too many dangerous creatures to count including but not limited to a three headed dog Cornish pixies a Bogart hippogriffs blast ended screwets etc. and worst of all ...
Dolores Umbrige
Anything but the last thing all of the above just not the last thing
No. Just no. Stop fishing for likes. Focus more on your grammar first. Hippogriifs, Boggarts, Cornish Pixies are part of education. Those are known creatures that everyone should know about. How else would've Harry fought off the Dementor in the Maze? Sure, the 3 Unforgivable Curses can be put to debate but it's because Harry was educated in those Curses that led him to escape Voldemort in Goblet. Are you saying Hogwarts intentionally hired Quirrell because he had Voldemort on the back of his head? You haven't read the books so you don't know that Quirrell was already part of the staff before he went on a tour, met Voldemort, and got influenced by him. What, you think the rest of the staff would have asked Quirrell to remove his turban? Speaking of Quirrell, he's the one that snuck the troll inside the school on Halloween. Hogwarts didn't do that, Quirrell did while he had Voldemort on the back of his head. Dementors were stationed at Hogwarts to protect the students, but there is also evidence that Albus didn't want them anywhere near his students, but the Ministry forced the Dementors for Harry's protection. Fluffy was there to protect the Sorcerer's Stone. Fluffy wasn't casually walking around biting kids, or was hiding and sneaking out to kill kids. I'll give you Blast-Ended Skrewts. Hagrid invented them and we saw how the kids were hurt. Luckily they all died before the end of the year. Dolores? Albus appointed her for the DADA position so Harry can see why he shouldn't trust the Ministry. But it's really important to point out Albus didn't want Dolores. She already has a history in the Wizarding world that Remus and "half-breeds" can tell you about. I don't think Albus was expecting her but he got stuck with her. She was evil herself but that's not the school's fault if a teacher is evil. Besides Snape, all other teachers are fair, instructional, sincere, and professional so you can't blame Hogwarts if one single teacher is bad. The DADA position is Cursed as we all know and Dolores doesn't come back. She had a bitter ending to her job, which we all loved.
7:26 Merlin wrote the stories before self inserts were looked down on and couldnt think of another name
The Moment J mentioned the Peverells, I noticed for the first time how similar it sounds to the Pevensies (Children from Narnia) because every time I think about the four founders of Hogwarts, this theory about them being the Pevesies comes into mind.
You can say about this theory what you want, but I love it. xD
And there are some similarities like Peter's/Godric's magical sword, Lucy's cordial and H. Hufflepuffs cup, Edmund/Slytherin being the one who stands out or thinks more realisticly (they made a Video about Slytherin being not the evil guy) and odd coincidence like, if I remember right, we only get to know how R. Ravenclaw (or was it only her daughter?) died and Susan is the only one who doesn't die with her siblings.
Yes, I know the Pevensies died (and lived in the wrong time) and had no magic, so they can't be the founders, but what if after they were resurrected in Aslan's country, Aslan send them back? This time with magical abilities because some magic from Narnia found its way to our world somehow after Narnia got destroyed. Like a resurrection that removed them from his Land. And since we know Earths time and Narnia time are not connected and its fantasy, it could be a MCU move and the magic "landed" in the past of our world and Aslans send the Pevensies from his Land to this time period on Earth so they could take care of it by being teachers to those who got affected by the magic.
Its silly but I love it, don't take it away from me. xD
Do you know why it's j and not ben also great theroy
Okay but The Magician's Nephew actually sort of gives credence to your theory. 1) Magic fruit taken from Aslan's Country and being planted in our world is how the wardrobe eventually came about. 2) Part of original method involved magical teleportation rings created in our world. 3) It has a realm called 'The Wood between Worlds' which enables one to travels to other worlds/dimensions. So like...even if Hogwarts is not 'Our World' or whatever, it still could be our world.
I haven't read the entire Narnia series, so I don't know how everything could fit, I don't even know if The Wood between Worlds is mentioned again, but your theory is valid and interesting and if JK Rowling the horrible person wasn't at least inspired by the rings when she came up with the idea of Portkey's I will eat the pages of my HP books.
Oh my gosh! I’ve never thought about it before but the Pevensie’s are EXACTLY like the Hogwarts Houses! Peter is Gryiffindor, Susan is Ravenclaw, Edmund’s Slytherin and Lucy’s Hufflepuff!! I can’t believe I’ve never noticed that before. I’m actually right now putting characters from other fandoms in Hogwarts houses. I need to do them next
@@rubygracemoseley8144 I am glad I could give you a New idea. :)
But it is indeed very interesting how fitting it is.
It is rather fun. You could write a fanfiction like this, combining the two universes.
That 'subtle' shade from Jay. "You can separate the creation from a creator", "The author". I like it xD.
Don’t forget when he sources the author halfway through the video...
“JK Rowling, Horrible Person”
@@Bosieroops_02 i was confused, why did they add that? is she really that horrible?
@@thebluePumpking yeah she really is. Look into how transphobic and discriminatory she is.
@@Bosieroops_02 she's hardly transphobic. All she said is women are women and dont take it away from them
@@phillip7494 Yeah as far as I could tell from her statements things are blown way out of proportion. She has an old fashioned view on gender for sure and she should try to broaden her view at the very least.
Just to be clear I don't agree with her but, just because she has a different point of view from mine does not make her a horrible person. It especially does not make her any of things people are making her out to be. Off course this is my opinion and people will disagree and that is fine. I just think it is unnecessary how brutal people are treating her. It does not help and will only make things worse, people should instead try to educate her if they really feel so passionate about it.
How did the Marauders create the map? How did Fred and George find out how to use it?!
there is a video about that from them :D
Surprised that the Room of Requirement wasn't mentioned. Seems like there are lots of parallels between the two: how you access the room and how you get the sword, the idea that they both change to fit the needs of the person, and we also know that the room is where lots of things have been hidden/stored in hogwarts across the ages.

Idk when this was filmed, but that list of states sounded like a political joke, and I'm kind of here for how subtle it was...
Recently and you are correct.
Nice to find enclaves of sanity.
Really wasn't that subtle.
3:07 switch sword with electoral votes
That's the joke
he slams the hat on his head
and the sword slams him in the head...literally, the book states he was nearly knocked out by it
Imagine the number of Gryffindors that displayed true courage and summoned the sword, but they got it out of the hat and the hat was on their head, and no one ever knew because it knocked them out and either their enemy killed them or ran away and the Gryffindor just woke up with a concussion and no clue what just happened.
Loved the bit about how it was dumb of Voldemort to declare victory prematurely.
I mean like who would do that in real life.
LOL

Here's a theory for you to tackle: Why does chocolate help you after you see a dementor?
Chocolate releases endorphins into your brain, which are the hormone that regulates happiness. Eating chocolate literally makes you feel happy.
Chocolate is sweet yet bitter, like the books, a wonderful story and good characters but with a bitter author and a lot of bad parts.
It is sweet but bitter to get on from depression, for even though it is lesser for now, it will never go away, and you'll always have scars

@@WhatNotYT
The decision to extratextually make Dumbledore gay but never act on it, _The Crimes of Grindelwald_ being very disappointing, and Rowling herself being transphobic. This is known as the ‘Death of the Author’ paradigm; the fanbase continues to love a franchise but relinquishes association with its creator.

Why don't you burn the books then? You actually can't separate an artist from the art. You're just a hypocrite...
I always imagined griphook doing a my precious dance with the sword and having it disappear when Neville needed it. Not sure why I didn’t see the voldermort killing him thing in books or movie
Is in the movies, but nowhere in the books. It isn't mentioned what happened to him after he betrays the trio on the vault.
When I read the books I always imagined it went back into his grave.
Quick question how was Snape able to carry the sword so that he can be able to put it in the lake?
My guess is that it might be because he doesn't try to use it?
You could potentially argue that the sword showed itself to Snape and allowed him to hold it knowing that it was its best chance at getting to Harry.
I think it’s cause he didn’t try to use it as a sword or weapon.
I believe that it returns to the Land of the Dead, to its master Godric. He sends it back to the World of the Living when he senses someone being brave/courageous.
That's based on nothing, and things cannot pass from death to life. Further, the sword can't die. It's an inanimate object.
@@Ranger1812 just my theory
4:20 oop... OOP THE SHADE
This episode was really funny. Thanks for the laugh during the stress of waiting for election results.
*"Into non-being, which is to say, everything."*
*-Minerva McG*
Non-being means energy. Matter and energy are two forms of the same thing.
@@Ranger1812 It's magic.
@@pookaverse I know. That doesn't change what I said. Magic isn't some random thing with no laws. We know there are, that's how you can learn and do specific things. And there's "Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration".
Magic has laws, that's why it works as it does. That doesn't make it science. Science and magic are present throughout the universe, running parallel with each other.
A universal law between them is that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Conjuration turns energy into an object, vanishment turns matter into energy.
Conjured items aren't the real thing though, just representations of that thing. And magic cannot create life, so conjured and otherwise transfigured living things are not really alive, they are representations of those living things.
We know magic cannot create life because there are three solely magical "living" things, that have no equivalent or relation to any nonn-magical living things.: dementors, boggarts, and poltergeists. They're all non-beings, which means they cannot die as they were never alive. They are the physical embodiment of emotion, dementors, despair; boggarts, fear; and poltergeists, mischievousness. They grow and shrink in number depending on the amount of that emotion in an area.
Peeves is the incarnation of 1000 years worth of teenagers', and some faculty members', mischievousness. You could remove him by removing all the students for a long period, so he slowly fades in power and eventually disappears, but he'd return begin growing in strength again when students returned. Other methods of removing him are likely to all fail seeing as he's become so strong from being at Hogwarts for 1000 years.
The last effort to expel him was in 1876, by then-caretaker Rancourous Carpe. He put a load of weapons under a large, hanging bell jar with various Containment Charms on he'd drop on him, rightly thinking they'd be irresistible to Peeves.
Peeves got the weapons and easily escaped the jar, resulting in glass covering the corridor, and left with cutlasses, a crossbow, a blunderbuss, and a miniature cannon.
The castle had to be evacuated for 3 days while Peeves wreaked havoc, including firing randomly out of windows and threatening everyone with death. The standoff only ended when then headmaster, Eupraxia Mole signed a contract allowing him a once-weekly swim in the first-floor boys' toilets, first refusal of stale bread from the kitchens for throwing purposes, and a new hat made by Madam Bonhabile of Paris.
@@Ranger1812 But then again, we can't trust what Jo tells us.
*She Claimed That Hermione was black and that the Cursed Child is cannon.*
@@pookaverse I'm right.
*canon. "Cannon" is a weapon.
She never said Hermione was black. She said she could be black because it was never stayed otherwise (which isn't true, she was said to have a pale face (meaning the colour had drained from it, not just describing her skin colour), and Molly said she looked like a panda when she had a black eye. But she can be played by a black actor, that's a non-issue.
Cursed Child is the problem. New Time-Turners are annoying, but not a cardinal sin, but the trolley witch was horrendous, Harry hating pigeons is evil and not having a good relationship with Albus makes no sense, whatsoever, and the story doesn't even make sense within itself. Cedric wouldn't become a Death Eater, but even if he did, that wouldn't stop Snape dying. The events aren't connected.
When J said who's on first I was like HAHAHAHA! I know that reference!
“Personally i can separate a creator from a creation”
THE SHADEEEEEE DUDE
This is a good one!! I always thought that it returned back to the portrait of Godric Gryffindor that was hanging in Hogwarts! It is said that he was rarely depicted without his sword and in the painting he has it...I just sorta thought it would like appear when summoned and then reappear back into his painting when it was no longer needed!! Like you could walk up to the painting and see if the sword was being used or not because if it was, in the painting the sword would be gone. Scabbard would be there, but empty....
OH MY GOD!!!! I could not stop laughing when I realized J was naming the states still counting votes!!! Had to pick myself up off the floor and go show my husband, who did the same!!! Spot on gents!
Also, If Merlin was alive in the HP universe when the Arthur stories were first written, and therefore not alive when the Arthur stories took place, then maybe Merlin was a famous-ish wizard at the time whom the original writers of King Arthur wrote into the stories. It wouldn't be the first time that a real person was worked into a work of fiction
Especially Arthurian ledged it's so hard to figure out a canon narrative for it because it got fan-ficed (Galahad is a straight up Mary Sue inserted into the story to magically fix everything) a bunch of times by it's Chroniclers but Merlin is one of the few aspects that seems to have mange to both be there from the start and stayed largely consistent (except his ultimate fate that has a couple of options)
Maybe Merlins huge claim to fame is his ability to time walk without a time turner, thus changing history in arthurian times
@@joeschook792 Or Flamel was actually the second person to make a philosopher's/sorceror's stone.
Jay: "Carlin Brothers Coffee now has hot chocolate!"
Me, as an LDS: :D
oh same!
@@SarahBaird-io2tn Same here!
I misread this and thought you said LSD
@@JackOfSpades12345678 Fun fact: I almost did! The two letters are very close together on this tiny digital keyboard.
YES. Thanks, SCB, for the LDS fan service!!
"Personally I think you can separate creator from creation, but that's just me" you sly little
Also just saw the tag "JK Rowling Horrible Person" nice
Me: *I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE*
This was the comment I was looking for, cause I caught it too.
@@wickedwiggits I noticed it too!! I was wondering if anyone else would notice it. What I noticed first is that he said “the author” instead of her name
I appreciate SCB still supporting the franchise even after all of the controversy. I don't know what I would do without my HP theories. They are all so good.
"But that's next week's video", setting up cliffhangers. SMH
The election joke...
It’s almost as great as pancakes.
I laughed so much
Nevada really gotta get faster at finding that sword
Had to rewind and turn up the volume to make sure I heard what I thought I did. Then my sides detached from my body.
Let’s hope that sword of griffindor is found in MI...we need it
Carter Kimes MI already found it. It’s been called in Biden’s favor.
3:05 LOL got the election on your mind, brother?!😂
By the end I was breaking out in goosebumps. aghhh this was so good!!
I feel like a boomer for understanding the "Who's on first?" reference
11:35 hallow means void and when the sword vanishes it goes to some sort of void idk definitely a connection
Hallow does not mean void. You're thinking of hollow. Hallowed objects are sacred, not empty.
@@eddyblackmore2834 sorry I meant hollow I misspelt sorryyy
double double toil and trouble!
Harry's heart is in Hogwarts double!
1: Hogwarts is Harry's true home, because he never felt at home at the Dursley's.
2: Ginny is at Hogwarts (although, probably not on Christmas Eve... but still)
It is known through history that treasures were often hidden under churches and saints were often entombed below too. Perhaps Godric lies with his sword below the church in Godrics Hollow?
awesome video, my interest piqued when you mentioned excalibur and i remembered something neat about it
in the legends where the sword in the stone (caliburn) and excalibur are not the same sword, caliburn is 'pulled from the stone' aka the earth and arthur later loses caliburn when in breaks in battle as its weak and he is then given excalibur 'pulled from the lake' by the lady of the lake.
a lot of people believe that excalibur was made from bog iron, which due to the wetlands it comes from has less impurities than other irons of the time, explaining why excalibur was better than other swords.
this of course is all wishy washy as its legend/myth and cannot be proven 👍
Merlin was playing fast and loose with a time turner. It explains everything both in Potterverse Merlin and every other Merlin story.
That’s what I was thinking!
"the author" 😌💭 no thoughts just swish n flick
This video was a good break from my election anxiety
Haha that it is where you are wrong (3:07) pls tell me when you realize
3:07
notice how he kept saying "the author" instead of JK Rowling.
I literally scrolled through the whole comment section to find someone who noticed
"JK Rowling, Horrible Person" 😂
It made me think of Once Upon A Time! 😂😂
stunning and brave 🙄
the given Excalibur twice bit is because when he dueled Sir Lancelot( i think its him) the sword broke and was repaired by the lady of the lake
I love the shade thrown here!
“The idea of fitness to carry the sword...” what if that meant actual fitness of the body. You can only wield the sword if you can bench 150 pounds 😂
We don’t know how heavy the sword is.
@@greenjay7471 lol, I know. I just meant “you must be this buff to be worthy” lol
Harry and Ron ruin this theory
“JK Rowling, horrible person” 😂😂😂
@Isabella
Mainly her stance on Transgender people
You should get in touch with Shadiversity to talk about what the sword of Grifindor should look like. It would be a great cross over for both of your channels.
OMFG YES!!!! AND THEN JAZZA COULD CREATE IT!!!!!
I read the title and immediately though of Godrick's grave.
I can't believe I was right
“It’s AN Excalibur.” - Basilton Grimm-Pitch 😂
Pretty sure the legend is that Merlin lived backward in time.
So he was a 7th year then a 6th . . .

Maybe he also had discovered how to make a philosopher's stone
