About the glasses. Myrtle warren, her real name, told harry how she died. And it was like this: she was crying in the bathroom stall because she was bullied because of her glasses. When she heard someone, later we know it was riddle, speaking parseltongue and opening the chamber and killing myrtle. Now there are 2 options: 1) because she was bullied because of the glasses, she broke them in the stal out of frustration. 2) after coming out of the stal she wanted to whipe her eyes dry of the tears and therefore she took the glasses of. In both cases he doesnt wear glasses and both are plausible. She also doesnt remember the huge snake only two big yellow eyes. How could she not remember the snake? Because she didnt see it because she didnt wear the glasses.
Sounds pretty solid, except for the end. As someone with bad eye sight I can tell you that a massive snake would be easier to see than the smaller eyes. They would look like yellow blobs in a larger green blob. For example I can identify a tree and even branches but an individual leaf would be an issue. Though I do think her glasses weren't on her face, because you can't wipe your eyes with them in the way. Maybe the basilisk was so close it obstructed her field of vision and the only thing she could identify where eyes. Or perhaps it's another phenomenon, when we're in danger we focus on the most dangerous thing, and don't see much of our surroundings. So people involved in an active shooting are better able to give a description of the gun than of the shooter and would be even less able to describe the surroundings. Maybe something like that happened, because it was very traumatic and very quick all she remembers is the thing that killed her, namely the eyes
Tyler answered correctly, the camera uses mirrors, so Colin never looked directly into the eyes. He saw the reflection from the mirrors in the camera. Glasses are transparent, so you’re still seeing the eyes without obstruction, sir Nicholas was translucent, so not all light travels through
@@Cora.T yeah we never realy see the eyes themselves in the movie but from what is discribed in the book the eyes are pretty big and not just yellow but almost glowing. But still wouldnt explain how she know it were eyes without seeing an animal. But yeah it can happen realy fast and therefore she didnt realy remember it that well.
am i being too nitpicky, or is J's answer on that question technically wrong? it's her looking into the Basilisk's eye that killed her, not the Basilisk looking her in the eye. if it were the latter, then Harry should've been dead as soon as Riddle summoned the Basilisk out of Slytherin's statue!
@@JuanMataCFC Well...it seems to me that who looks at who first isn't what matters, it's the eye contact itself that kills. And Harry already had turned and was running before the basilisk's head came into full view, he never saw the eyes.
@@peregrinfandomizer nah i don't think u die if u (say) look down at the floor while a Basilisk is looking u in the eye. u need to look into its eyes for u to die.
@@JuanMataCFC oohhhh!!!! I see what you're saying. I think what J was trying to reference is direct eye contact. Like you said, looking at someone's eyes, but they're looking somewhere else, doesn't count. I'm pretty sure he ment that the Basilisk was already looking at Myrtle, but she had to look at it also, to die
I think the thing about "when does a murder count for creation of a horcrux" is way more "spiritual" than physical. So I don't need to murder the person myself, but it also wouldn't work if I "accidentally" kill someone. I need to WANT the person to be dead and actively do something that it happens, for my soul to notice I did the big bad and rip appart.
Also depending on your/their view of animals, you could think of them just as a weapon, a tool for the act. Like telling your dog (or big snake) to kill someone, would be just like pulling the trigger. (or casting a spell.) (It´s the "Guns don´t kill, people do." mindset.)
@@HorioaloveRon omg! Imagine they were witches during the witch hunts and to keep themselves safe they posed as nuns! Then, of course, got caught and killed and they are gloomy because they are stuck dressed like nuns! I read it.🤷🏾♀️
@@BaconandEggsMedia there was another commenter who suggested that you participate in a quiz, most of us think it would be a great idea to see if you have retained enough info from your readings of the series and your position as quizmaster to beat your brothers.

Great Quiz. Although halfway through, I started to wonder if Dumbledore paid Professor Binns a salary. I'm sure he would but really what would Professor Binns need it for. Also, I'm just trying to picture their yearly teacher evaluation meeting.
@@AndrewJGamingmy head cannon is that she showed up, tried to do the same introduction as with the other teachers, but he just went with his lessons. I also think she got so incredibly bored like the others, and just left while doing her evaluation
In regards to MM and her glasses, she'd been crying so i imagine that she had them off as she would have been wiping her eyes. Especially as she went to shout at Moldy Voldy i picture the wiping of her eyes as she pushed the door open
I can't help but think a blind student who knows parseltongue running into the basilisk, they would be immune to the gaze of it, and would be able to understand it
Blind: "Hello? Is someone there?" Basilisk: "...meat..." Blind: "Yes, nice to meet you too. My name is Terrance, what's yours?" Basilisk: "?!...ssSisyphusss..." Terrance: "Oh that's a lovely name. What's your House?" Sisyphus: "Thisss place." Terrance: "I'm not into labels either. We're all just trying to get by. In fact I'm studying for a potions exam. Got any pointers?" Sisyphus: "...blood isss... thicker than water?" Terrance: "Yeah, that could help. Sometimes it's hard to tell the ingredients apart, not being able to see them and all. One time I was drinking tea and Monty Lawson switched my sugar with salt." Sisyphus: "That'sss awful... ssShall I kill him?" Terrance: "No need. I got him back by turning his sandwich into a squid. It latched onto his nose and everyone called him Squidface." Sisyphus: "Nice..."
Didn't she say she was hounting Olive for a while before the Ministry ordered her to return to the bathroom? Maybe they didn't know at the time that she decided to stay. Also she probably didn't see who released the basilisk.
In the book she just says she heard a boys voice, and she went to tell him to go away and she saw the eyes, so I assume she never saw who controlled it.
Hagrid wasn’t really innocent, he did bring a acromantulla in the castle which are very illegal (as Fantastic Beasts book tells us) and dangerous. It’s just that Hagrid should have been expelled for that but Riddle should have been imprisoned for murder.
Here's a question I've had for a while about Myrtle. Her presence was hardly a secret, as "everyone" avoided her bathroom because of her. While the fact that it was her who died 50 years ago comes as a surprise to us the reader, surely Dumbledore, at the very least, would have known that she was the victim. Why did no one else before Harry and Ron think to ask her how she died?
On the subject of whether ordering an act is enough, Voldy also thought that ordering Nagini to kill Snape would be enough to become the master of the Elder Wand, although we don't know for sure whether it would have worked or not. Also, it's interesting that the Basilisk was involved with the creation and destruction of the Diary Horcrux.
Totally thought the same thing. Whether or not Nagini killing Snape would have worked. The fact that Voldemort thought it would, lends itself to the fact that setting a beast to deliver the kill had counted for him before.
The reason glasses don't block the gaze is simple: glasses don't *distort* the image, but a lens in a camera does. So Myrtle saw it head on - but none of the others did. They saw reflections or distorted images in camera lenses etc. As for the Nuns, perhaps hey didn't move on because they want revenge and needed to linger to get it?
Glasses do too distort what you see, that's kind of their whole thing. Or I guess, they more "undistort" what you see. Depends on how you look at it. No pun intended.
Follow up question: if she wasn't wearing her glasses when she died, would her glasses take a ghostly form? Or really why do they clothes and accessories off ghosts (like glasses) etc turn "see-through" anyway??
@@StrudelConChocolate just a thought, but, what if ghosts work kinda like the way Residual Self Image works in the Matrix.... When you become a ghost, your image is the way you see yourself.
what might help with the basilisk and the horcrux is that tom riddle was in full controll of it because of the parseltongue. the same way you could see someone using the imperius curse to force someone to kill more as them killing than the person being controlled killing.
generally speaking, a camera rarely has 'just a lens'. especially when referring to Colin Creevey's film-camera. I'm pretty sure that it would have some prism and/or mirrors system to display the shot, possibly with some parallax trickery involved...
Colin had an Argus C3, which is a rangefinder camera. He wasn’t looking through mirrors, as a rangefinder is just a window with frame lines and a focusing patch.
@@Hasselbaddie a) was a specific model mentioned in the books? b ) what was the most common mechanism for cameras in the UK during the 90's? alternatively we can add this to the list of mistakes of JK Rowling due to her not being an expert in everything. there are plenty of those.

OH MY GOSH! Peeves holding walking sticks... when I heard that answer, I got a memory flash from my youth! I had a Harry Potter lunchbox depicting that scene where Peeves is throwing one! I never remembered precisely where it was from in the books, since I wasn't the best at memory. But wow, that was fun!
So if ordering a kill tears the soul, I wonder just how many pieces voldy's soul was torn into, beyond the horcruxes we know about. Sounds like a theory video 🤔
It's not ordering itself, but who you order to kill that counts I guess. Since Basilisk was Slytherin's snake, it was a continuation of him, and of Voldemort. So the question is, does ordering Nagini to kill can tear the soul and create a Horcrux, since she was so close to Voldemort?
I think it also makes a difference that it was a beast that he was controlling and not another person doing his bidding. It’s more like the basilisk was his weapon, rather than someone else doing the job. Maybe if a person was under the imperius curse, it would be the same circumstance, cause they would have been completely used for the method of murder, rather than taking any responsibility or control over the matter.
Just gonna keep posting this, have you guys considered making your own de-monetized founders series as a radio drama podcast? You wouldn’t need to worry about special effects and if it did well and got attention, you could possibly get asked to participate in an official founders tv series.

7:12 Ben's happy place is the same as mine. On days when there's noise and I need to sleep (July4/Dec31) I will wear headphones to bed, playing "rain on tent 10 hours", and if you wrap yourself in tight, it can feel liked you really are in a tent during a rainstorm. Super soothing.

@supercarlinbrothers I love your "mid-way" sponsorships......not always for what they are for, but the fact that you both act like true brothers during that time. I would do the same thing with my brothers if given the chance. You both are hilarious
When I first saw the Grey Lady, I thought she would make an excellent Moiraine in the Wheel of Time. Turns out, Rosamund Pike will play Moiraine...still an amazing choice!
Just so you know: poltergeist is German and translates literally to 'rumblings ghost'. Which means a poltergeist is a subspecies of ghosts, and therefore a ghost.
Just so YOU know, the textbook definition of things does not carry over in this series. People can't actually fly on brooms, and there isn't actually a school that teaches kids magic, but in this world, those things happen. Just like the fact that a poltergeist and a ghost are 2 very different things in this world
That was my first thought as well. If they're nuns, they firmly believe in Heaven, so why would they hang around as ghosts? and if they're nuns, they probably also wouldn't be witches. The Harry Potter books all refer to Christmas, but never to anything most specifically religious - except perhaps for this one reference to nuns. Are there any other references to any specific religion in HP? I don't remember any. They never mention Jesus during Christmas, nor do they ever mention any other religions. (EDIT: OK, yeah, the Fat Friar. Anything else?) Hmmm... OK, here's my theory: The ghosts can come from any point in the past, right? So these nuns are not people who just died recently. They probably were killed as a group, centuries ago, during a time when the Catholic Church was specifically trying to purge witches and wizards from its ranks. They stayed around as ghosts because of the injustice of it, and perhaps to try and prevent such a thing from happening again.
Hermione survived the basilisk because she used a mirror and only saw the reflection. Mrs Norris saw only the reflection in the water. Colin Creevey saw only the reflection on the mirror inside the camera. (He was using the viewfinder.) Myrtle saw the basilisk directly. A layer of glass isn't enough to stop it. A layer of GHOST is a different story. But then a ghost isn't made of glass, is it?
My only problem with the "filch is a poltergeist" theory is what about all the other caretakers before him? Mrs Weasley says that he wasn't there when she was in school and it was a different caretaker. Yet Peeves has been around since the schools founding. If Filch is the manifestation of rule following to oppose Peeves rule breaking why didn't he show up sooner?
You know what does track? You can end someone's life with a weapon. In the case of MM, the Basilsk was not her life-ender, but the weapon used to make her meet her end.
You know what I've been wondering? What if Harry was in his Fifth year in Goblet of Fire.. Would he do the OWLs or would he be excused?? Would he recieve Passing grades in all of them?? As Champions didn't have to make the final exams?
What GF's think guys are doing...what guys are actually doing. Working as many Helen Hunt movie titles into a Harry Potter quiz as they can forcing a giggle-fest.
The cupcake scene is hilarious! I remembered it months later and went back through all of your Harry Potter quiz episodes just to find it. So glad I did! Still cracks me up 😄

Man that music behind the Trivia Night puzzle in the beginning sounds so much like the music that plays in Star Trek Into Darkness when Harewood and Khan are being introduced to the audience.
Honestly,this video just popped up in my feed and I'm so glad it did. I just got my booster shot yesterday and today, I've been feeling so tired, and i got a moderate headache. A video from SCB is exactly what I need right now cause you guys always make me feel happy! Thank you so much!
Suggestion for video topic: Due in no small part to the popularity of the web Series "Critical Role", the classic table top role playing game Dungeons & Dragons, has seen a resurgence in popularity. It would be interesting to see what influences the game has had across many aspects of pop/nerd/geek culture over the years, such as video gaming, fantasy literature, movies, television and the list can go on. For example, I would like your thoughts on this idea: according too D&D (5th ed.) criteria, is Voldemort a lich?
I'm pretty sure that it's elsewhere specified (I believe by Sir Nicholas) that it must be a witch or wizard. So muggles wouldn't be able to, and presumably house elves, goblins, etc wouldn't either.
Doesn't it say they "may" bring a cat or toat or owl. Maybe that's means it's not a stricked rule more a guide line since Lee Jordan has a tarantula and Albus Potter a ferret. It could also mean that first graders can only bring one animal not three different ones.

Now there are 2 options:
1) because she was bullied because of the glasses, she broke them in the stal out of frustration.
2) after coming out of the stal she wanted to whipe her eyes dry of the tears and therefore she took the glasses of.
In both cases he doesnt wear glasses and both are plausible.
She also doesnt remember the huge snake only two big yellow eyes. How could she not remember the snake? Because she didnt see it because she didnt wear the glasses.
Also, she's a ghost and therefore didn't really die, or at least, she didn't cross over.
Sounds pretty solid, except for the end. As someone with bad eye sight I can tell you that a massive snake would be easier to see than the smaller eyes. They would look like yellow blobs in a larger green blob. For example I can identify a tree and even branches but an individual leaf would be an issue. Though I do think her glasses weren't on her face, because you can't wipe your eyes with them in the way. Maybe the basilisk was so close it obstructed her field of vision and the only thing she could identify where eyes. Or perhaps it's another phenomenon, when we're in danger we focus on the most dangerous thing, and don't see much of our surroundings. So people involved in an active shooting are better able to give a description of the gun than of the shooter and would be even less able to describe the surroundings. Maybe something like that happened, because it was very traumatic and very quick all she remembers is the thing that killed her, namely the eyes

I still find her economics mistakes funny
@@arieldahl I don’t remember any specifics about camera models in the book, I’m pretty sure it’s just a movie thing.
@@arieldahl I’m sure it was one of the prism and mirror cameras also like the wizarding world use. The old timey ones
Exactly
Conrad, butter pecan, Ben's wildcard guesses are always so American 😂
I like that Tyler and J have the same laugh when Ben makes the Helen Hunt joke.
I love these quiz videos especially because you can see how much fun you guys have together. You cracking each other up had me cracking up 😂
OH MY GOSH! Peeves holding walking sticks... when I heard that answer, I got a memory flash from my youth! I had a Harry Potter lunchbox depicting that scene where Peeves is throwing one! I never remembered precisely where it was from in the books, since I wasn't the best at memory. But wow, that was fun!
All the Helen Hunt puns are hilarious XD
So if ordering a kill tears the soul, I wonder just how many pieces voldy's soul was torn into, beyond the horcruxes we know about. Sounds like a theory video 🤔
It's not ordering itself, but who you order to kill that counts I guess. Since Basilisk was Slytherin's snake, it was a continuation of him, and of Voldemort.
So the question is, does ordering Nagini to kill can tear the soul and create a Horcrux, since she was so close to Voldemort?
I think it also makes a difference that it was a beast that he was controlling and not another person doing his bidding. It’s more like the basilisk was his weapon, rather than someone else doing the job. Maybe if a person was under the imperius curse, it would be the same circumstance, cause they would have been completely used for the method of murder, rather than taking any responsibility or control over the matter.
Just gonna keep posting this, have you guys considered making your own de-monetized founders series as a radio drama podcast? You wouldn’t need to worry about special effects and if it did well and got attention, you could possibly get asked to participate in an official founders tv series. You could get fans or other TH-camrs to audition easily. #MakeSeamousSalazar!
Thank you so much. The constant Helen Hunt references were hilarious and totally made my day.
The absolute serotonin I get from these videos. You guys honestly make my day so much better
Came for Harry Potter, stayed for Helen Hunt (never thought I’d say that, yet here we are).
J interrupting Tyler when he was doing the “first Patreon question of the game” is hesterical
7:12 Ben's happy place is the same as mine. On days when there's noise and I need to sleep (July4/Dec31) I will wear headphones to bed, playing "rain on tent 10 hours", and if you wrap yourself in tight, it can feel liked you really are in a tent during a rainstorm. Super soothing.
Hank's Helen Hunt song is still catchy to this day. "...Helen Hunt you know I'm mad about you."
Headless Hunt becoming Helen Hunt was the funniest thing ever!
I wish I had only just now discovered SCB so I could watch a video each day after a hard days work of 10hrs a day, unfortunately we binged them all already.
I would LOVE to see Ben and J on "Um, Actually"
So is no one going to talk about how the third Quizmaster question was just one of the questions on the actual quiz? Question 14 is how many axe hits it took to kill Sir Nick. Why was that included as a Quizmaster question?
The Helen Hunt movies is what really made this video so great I chuckled at every one, even the references I didn't understand lol.
so buying your puzzle for my 30th birthday in a few weeks! and this is more of a suggestion but i think it's time to do a full Pixar theory video! update them all! thanks!
15:23 this is the frickin Joker's laugh ! u kidding ???
@supercarlinbrothers I love your "mid-way" sponsorships......not always for what they are for, but the fact that you both act like true brothers during that time. I would do the same thing with my brothers if given the chance. You both are hilarious
The nuns: *WE ALL COMING BACK.*
When I first saw the Grey Lady, I thought she would make an excellent Moiraine in the Wheel of Time. Turns out, Rosamund Pike will play Moiraine...still an amazing choice!
I can't wait for that series to start!!!
H E Y B R O T H E R ! ! !
HEY BROTHER

Ben: It doesn't really change anything. Kind of like a ghosts existence.
Me: A ghost is the reason Justin was petrified and not killed.
"Ravenclaw"
Me: hey me too
Me: *becomes slowly unsure*
Me:*takes sorting quiz again*
Me: I guess not
Just so you know: poltergeist is German and translates literally to 'rumblings ghost'. Which means a poltergeist is a subspecies of ghosts, and therefore a ghost.
Just so YOU know, the textbook definition of things does not carry over in this series. People can't actually fly on brooms, and there isn't actually a school that teaches kids magic, but in this world, those things happen. Just like the fact that a poltergeist and a ghost are 2 very different things in this world
The ghostly nuns would also have to be witches, right?
Yes. And I don't think witches and nuns go together ... Inquisition anyone?
@@Kittyvondy Indeed. but in HP those "witches" were actually hags
That was my first thought as well. If they're nuns, they firmly believe in Heaven, so why would they hang around as ghosts? and if they're nuns, they probably also wouldn't be witches. The Harry Potter books all refer to Christmas, but never to anything most specifically religious - except perhaps for this one reference to nuns. Are there any other references to any specific religion in HP? I don't remember any. They never mention Jesus during Christmas, nor do they ever mention any other religions. (EDIT: OK, yeah, the Fat Friar. Anything else?)
Hmmm... OK, here's my theory: The ghosts can come from any point in the past, right? So these nuns are not people who just died recently. They probably were killed as a group, centuries ago, during a time when the Catholic Church was specifically trying to purge witches and wizards from its ranks. They stayed around as ghosts because of the injustice of it, and perhaps to try and prevent such a thing from happening again.
@@PhilBagels makes sense to me
@@PhilBagels Frankly I think it's because in CoS J.K. Rowling hadn't yet decided only magical people could be ghosts.
Hermione survived the basilisk because she used a mirror and only saw the reflection.
Mrs Norris saw only the reflection in the water.
Colin Creevey saw only the reflection on the mirror inside the camera. (He was using the viewfinder.)
Myrtle saw the basilisk directly. A layer of glass isn't enough to stop it.
A layer of GHOST is a different story. But then a ghost isn't made of glass, is it?
My only problem with the "filch is a poltergeist" theory is what about all the other caretakers before him? Mrs Weasley says that he wasn't there when she was in school and it was a different caretaker. Yet Peeves has been around since the schools founding. If Filch is the manifestation of rule following to oppose Peeves rule breaking why didn't he show up sooner?
You know what does track? You can end someone's life with a weapon. In the case of MM, the Basilsk was not her life-ender, but the weapon used to make her meet her end.
I really like these Harry Potter quizzes. I've rewatched them all several times.
You know what I've been wondering?
What if Harry was in his Fifth year in Goblet of Fire.. Would he do the OWLs or would he be excused?? Would he recieve Passing grades in all of them?? As Champions didn't have to make the final exams?
I want to see J find the honey! We always see Ben Hide it but never see J find it! Unless I'm missing something lol
What GF's think guys are doing...what guys are actually doing. Working as many Helen Hunt movie titles into a Harry Potter quiz as they can forcing a giggle-fest.
You know your life is boring when you wake up as a ghost and just continue through your life unfazed
The cupcake scene is hilarious! I remembered it months later and went back through all of your Harry Potter quiz episodes just to find it. So glad I did! Still cracks me up 😄
When Ben was blowing the String in the very beginning of the Video,
I thought he could see my Mouse for a second.
Cause it was there.
that was a depressing WILSON! you have to 1000% commit to WILLLLLSOOOOON!
10:54 the way Ben spelt Wailing Widow 😂😂
They should make their own quiz, maybe seven or so from both of them with Tyler and the Patreon Questions making up the remaining quiz.
Nuns coming back is just a "Habit" of theirs. Lol
She hates to be called the grey lady people! Call her by her real name!
Well, Moaning Mrytle was crying in the bathroom at the time of her death so maybe she didn't have her glasses on when she looked at the snake eyes?
I've been around this corner of the youtubes so long, I knew the Helen Hunt question right away and thoroughly enjoyed the references lololol This was a fun video! Also, Ben, what about the Swagrid theory? Isn't that a favourite? lol
Colnel Mustard, in the library, with the wrench.
3:24 i always figured it was all about feeling responsible for the death rather than doing the actual killing itself.
Man that music behind the Trivia Night puzzle in the beginning sounds so much like the music that plays in Star Trek Into Darkness when Harewood and Khan are being introduced to the audience.
Please tag Helen Hunt! She needs to experience this video! 😂
Honestly,this video just popped up in my feed and I'm so glad it did. I just got my booster shot yesterday and today, I've been feeling so tired, and i got a moderate headache. A video from SCB is exactly what I need right now cause you guys always make me feel happy! Thank you so much!
Suggestion for video topic: Due in no small part to the popularity of the web Series "Critical Role", the classic table top role playing game Dungeons & Dragons, has seen a resurgence in popularity. It would be interesting to see what influences the game has had across many aspects of pop/nerd/geek culture over the years, such as video gaming, fantasy literature, movies, television and the list can go on. For example, I would like your thoughts on this idea: according too D&D (5th ed.) criteria, is Voldemort a lich?
“Imprint of a departed soul” suggests other beings, not just humans, can choose to remain and become ghosts. 🤨🤨🤨
I'm pretty sure that it's elsewhere specified (I believe by Sir Nicholas) that it must be a witch or wizard. So muggles wouldn't be able to, and presumably house elves, goblins, etc wouldn't either.
I love Tyler invoking his inner Barley from Onward at 6:00
Now I have Helen Hunt stuck in my head. Thanks Tyler.
maybe moaning Myrtle had her glasses off because she was crying
All three of you have such a wonderful relationship. It's like you're all best friends and not brothers. Love the dynamic so much
The energy in this video is impeccable
I almost spit out my coffee on the tune in next week for the J vs Been the Helen Hunt line.
The editing is getting better and better each episode snaps to you Riley
"And therefore _transparent_ as Mr Potter so wisely points out."
7:50 that was very Civil War General there Ben
I feel you Ben. I don't get the beach thing either. Like, it's hot and and I'm covered wet dirt, yay!
@7:40 in Utah you need a super warm sleeping bag for summer camping.
I have a question. Rats are not on the pets allowed at Hogwarts. So how is it Ron can bring “Scabbers”?
Doesn't it say they "may" bring a cat or toat or owl. Maybe that's means it's not a stricked rule more a guide line since Lee Jordan has a tarantula and Albus Potter a ferret. It could also mean that first graders can only bring one animal not three different ones.
