I think Harry got an owl delivering his letter because his aunt and uncle were aware of the magical world (even thought they tried to pretend it didn't exist). Other muggle parents wouldn't likely have a clue.
In the case of Muggle-born children, a teacher from Hogwarts personally visited the family to give them the big magic reveal. Harry was an odd case; his family knew about magic but kept the truth from him, so when it was clear that no reply letter was forthcoming by the deadline, Hagrid was permitted to meet him. I also like to think that Dumbledore had a wee bit too much fun with the letters.
"What do wizards consider fantasy?" Well, there is one wizard in particular that allegedly wrote a few fairy tales. You may not have heard of him but he is known as Beedle the Bard.

Yes. I also think at some point Hermione tells Harry and Ron that someone from the school came to talk to her parents in person. Harry was sent a letter because it was assumed he knew all about the magical community and Hogwarts, Hagrid was very surprised to find out he didn't know.
Yeah it was confusing that they didn't get this right. Maybe they didn't realize a letter would be part of it but how could they expect muggle parents to know what Hogwarts was

Pewter has a melting point of 170 - 230°C so yes it is considered softer than other metals (i.e. copper: 1084°C; aluminum: 660°C; carbon steel: 1425 - 1540°C; brass: 930°C; cast iron: 1204°C; stainless steel: 1375 - 1530°C) but I assume that's because first years would not be brewing anything that requires extreme high heat or sustained heating.
About the pewter cauldrons: they actually explain this factor in the books! Why else is the thickness of cauldron bottoms so important? Every metal has a point of thickness at which it becomes pliable, but each one is different! How else could you have wires, platings, and statues made from the same materials?
j is right pewter consist mostly of tin and has a low meltingpoint, 170-230 °C (338-446 °F). a woodfire in a grate could reach 500 °C (932 F). a gasflame as used in your chemistry lessons at school gets around 300 °C.(572 F). so pewter on a Fire is indeed useless. it should be copper or brass (melting point around 1000 °C (1832 F)
@@lajvanegmond Huh, I did not know that. Looking further into it, turns out that we muggles mainly use pewter for either decorative or utilitarian items, mainly because if it broke, it was easier to melt down the pieces and remake it. Real pewter of the kind they used in the medieval times usually had a high lead content, which tended to cause lead-poisoning. I’ll say a few things with regard to its use here: 1) They’ve got magic, so the health concerns are likely countered by something we don’t see. Maybe they’re just immune? 2) Neville often screws up his potions, and one of those screw-ups is melting through the bottoms of his cauldrons. This means that accurate temperature maintenance is a factor in potion making. Magical fires probably help with that. 3) We later see other types of cauldrons- gold, silver, brass, copper, iron, fire crab shell, etc. We even hear tell of a failed attempt at a cheese cauldron. This implies that specific types were used with specific potions. Historically IRL, pewter was considered highly conductive for magic, while iron was almost anti-magic. So pewter would be useful for low magic individuals or ingredients, while iron is probably reserved for magically potent ingredients that could be highly reactive. As such, pewter’s use in cauldrons for first years, who likely can’t channel much magic yet, can’t be trusted with high heat flames, and who may accidentally destroy their cauldrons, is probably justified.
@@weckar I meant that outside of the Harry Potter series, historically speaking, pewter was considered to be magically conductive within the practice of witchcraft. As such, it stands to reason that pewter was chosen by JKR in reference to that knowledge.
@You're Gonna Hate This tinfoil is metal, and bends very easily. Therefore metal can bend at thicknesses greater than a few microns. You couldn’t make use of wires and cables otherwise.
The last question. Usually for Muggleborns they have a member of staff deliver the letter in person so the parents can have the situation explained to them, and to have people on hand to alter memories should there be negative reception, considering it's revealing the magical world to muggles which may violate the statute of secrecy. Edit: I think the reason harry was an exception is because the Dursleys already knew about magic, even though they disliked it, they were aware of it because of Dumbledore's letter and Petunia's family.
When I was a little kid, I used to think privet was just the way Jim Dale said "private" and never looked it up till I was an adult. Now I know it's a kind of flower. Reading the books in German, they translate the street name using the German work for privet - Liguster. However, in the Hawaiian version, the translator calls the street Ala Pilikino, which means "private road" 🤣
In Czech, it´s "Zobí ulice 4" "Zob" basically means "bird feed", which is our name for the Privet (shrub). Which made me laugh as a kid when all the birds (owls) were swarming the place.
In the norwegian version it's called "Hekkveien", which means "Hedge Road" or "Hedge Street". Possibly refering to being sheltered behind the prim and propper Hedges?
In Dutch it's also called Ligusterlaan (lane). And Surrey is translated to Klein (little) Zanikem, which is a play on the Dutch word Zaniken which means 'to moan/complain in an irritating way about the same subject over and over again.'
I mean I feel like JK Rowling would've just beefed up the Horcrux plot line in that case. And its very possible since Ollivander isn't even the only wand maker in Diagon Alley let alone Britain let alone the world.
@@TheAutisticBrony I mean, not the only one, but by and large recognized as the best, and I don't think there's any timeline or possible order of events that would have made Hagrid ever take Harry to any other shop.
@@TheAutisticBrony He is the only one in Britain for all intents and purposes. Of course other people into wandlore will make wands, but Ollivanders is synonymous with wands. He’s known as the best wandmaker in the world. He has no competition in Britain.
I'm sure Dumbledore made sure Hagrid took Harry to Ollivander's. He knew his Phoenix had given two feathers to Ollivander and that Voldemort has a wand with one
I think the Dumbledore title should have gone to Ben because he actually got the whole grand sorcerer title not just sorcerer. I feel he gets ripped off a bit like this, and never argues it.
Also "mail courier" feels closer to "hand delivered by facility member" as a "courier" doesn't apply to just postal workers or a broader system like J put. At the very least I feel as though they tied this round
I'm always angry at J when he snatches the points when he shouldn't get any, but you're right, half of the time Ben loses points because he doesn't even try to argue. He just assumes he's wrong and J is right.
About the last question, I remember that Hermione says that Magonagal came to her house to give Hermione her letter and to explain everything to her parents and show them around Diagon Alley
The way I always justified the answer to the last question is that A: Harry isn't muggle born, and B: Hagrid assumed Harry was told about his parents by the Dursleys, so naturally the rest of the staff thought he knew as well.
In the movies it doesn't say it but I DO remember reading about how a teacher or something would bring the muggle borna their letters and explain everything to help with the shock. I always assumed Harry got his letter through owl post only because Vernon and Petunia already knew about the wizarding world so I'm sure they thought Harry would as well (and even if they knew he didn't know his guardians still did so it wouldn't be a shock to them).
I think this was the first time I knew the answer to a question that they got wrong. The hand delivering of the letter by a staff member is something that definitely stuck with me, so I’m surprised they didn’t know it.
I didn't remember the answer from the books, but just thinking about it logically, it makes perfect sense. A wizarding family (or the unusual case of the Dursleys) only needs an owl because they already know what's up, while a muggle family would have no idea what to make of the letter and probably assume it's a hoax, so a staff member goes in person to explain everything.
Marge ate a funny whelk, its a sea snail you can buy and eat, they can be sold everywhere but most common is on the English coast. She was holidaying on the Isle of White which is a small island of the southern coast, made up of primarily coastlines. Its very plausible she ate it a few days before sending the postcard and was still feeling the ill effects but not as bad, we British people like sharing the misery especially if it had ruined our fun. She probably only went for the weekend so she may of been ill most of her time there so people had to know about it, Vernon, Petunia, Dudley and even the postman. :)
Didn't Snape let Lily that someone from the school would come by with it, because she is a muggle born witch? I think the only reason Harry gets the owls is because Dumbledore left a letter with Harry explaining everything, and it was assumed that he would be told that he was a wizard. That's why Hagrid was so surprised that Harry didn't know.
Fun fact. He's listed as a warlock in the credits (doesn't appear in the books) so technically they didn't forget because TECHNICALLY there wasn't a wizard doing wandless magic
@@goblinpopcorn1367 could you imagine if Dumbledor studied Hawking? Or if Harry had been given a good education as a muggle? The spells they could have come up with or applications of the spells... Like using a shrinking charm on arteries instead of a whole person in a fight...
He was pointed out to me by a Tumblr thread, which jokingly speculated he could do wandless magic because he understood complicated physics, and therefore developed a higher understanding of how magic itself worked.
@@goblinpopcorn1367 Oh, that's clear from magical children doing odd things before going to Hogwarts. But intentional wandless magic is still an incredibly powerful feat. I can only think of one canon use of the top of my head, and that's from Grindelwald, in _Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them._
Muggle borns need a witch or wizard to explain to them and their parents the fact that there is a magical world and they are now part of it. The Dursleys knew about the magical world already through Petunia and Dumbledore knew this, argo owl post. The magical world didn’t realize the extent to which Harry was being abused/kept in the dark.
I imagine Marge's postcard was from some trip she went on and probably also said standard postcard stuff, like "Wonderfull weather in Mallorca" and that she ate something funny or foreign her body didn't agree with and was like "been stuck at the hotel all day" or "had to go home early", only Vernon didn't read the whole think out loud, but that's just my head canon.
She was vacationing on the Isle of Wight. I checked the book. She also ate a funny whelk (not fig), and I'm pretty sure that's what made her ill. Just thinking about eating a sea snail would make ME sick! LOL
@@jemma50 Oh, thanks. I probably had that in the back of my mind but didn't quite remember. Also knew that Mallorca bit was from where Vernon wanted to go shopping for a holiday home if he closed the deal in Chamber (right?) so I didn't know how much I was mixing things up and how much I was just fabricating stuff.
The wand question was very niche but it's in the books. Hagrig mentions the other wand maker's name but points out that everyone would still go out to Olivanders since his quality output is just higher.
It's been a couple of years since I read the books, but I found myself subconsciously humming "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" as soon as the question was asked. 🤔
24:35 I actually have my personal thoughts on that! You obviously can't just scale up and make more magical things. That's still relatively normal to them. An even higher magic setting would be more akin to sci-fi for them. On the contrary however, they are EXTREMELY behind in technology. To the point where it might seem almost... magical... to those who didn't grow up in the muggle world. TL:DR In magical settings sci fi and fantasy essentially swap roles.
A facility memeber... like when Dumbledore gives Tom Riddle his letter and explain what Hogwarts is. Or when Snape tells Lily that a member of Hogwarts will come explain the situation to her parents.
I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere (whether in one of the books or on Pottermore) that McGonagall delivered Hogwarts letters to muggleborns to explain to the parents about magic. Thats also why Dumbledore went to meet Tom Riddle in the orphanage.
I love these J vs Ben videos!!! Question, when did Ben start getting quote ideas from Matthew McConaughey? "I was driving a Lincoln way before they paid me to." -Matthew McConaughey "I was wearing meundies way before they sponsored our channel." -Ben Carlin
Hagrid brought a Hogwarts letter to Harry and Dumbledore once did the same for a young Tom Riddle, so I think it's sort of implied that Hogwarts always sends a staff member to kids raised by Muggles, even if this isn't directly explained.
Love how everyone cites Snape telling Lily someone will come and explain to her parents about magic and Hogwarts as the most explicit source of the standard procedure with children brought up by muggles. It's not like we actually saw Dumbledore doing exactly that with young Tom Riddle xD
I think funeral home is actually a good business front for money laundering because the services and prices are not only not standardized, they are famously highly priced up and remain quite cash-based despite the rise of other payment options. And it won't be easily discovered since people don't usually ask or talk about how much funerary services cost. Almost no one price shops for that. It's the kind of thing only the most finance-savvy people even think about. The biggest issue might be the interval between clients though... (lol that sounds so ominous)
I had no idea what the answer for Vernon's singing would be, but I immediately recognized Ryan's tune (though I still thought I must be mishearing or something, because I still didn't believe the answer was Tiptoe Through the Tulips).
Little fact. Pewter has a melting Point of ~170 - 230 °C while charcoal or wood burning produces a heat of about 1000°C. The cauldron would probably melt instantly. Though there may be some enchantments placed on it to make it more resistant to heat.
It is mentioned in one of the books that a professor hand delivers the letter to muggle born students to explain their parents about the wizarding world.
The letter does say - Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confederacy of Wizards) - so Headmaster was there, but not the titles the question was probably asking.
I have been listening to the audiobooks on repeat for a few months… I can finish all seven books in a week, which is 100 hours worth (youtube video version). I got a hundred percent, I did notice that the were basically questions about Diagon Ally shop. They didn’t ask the question about “what colour are the fastenings on the winter coats, only mentioned in the first letter. Tip Toe through the Tulips was my answer before they even received multiple choices answers.
It blows my mind that they didn’t get Tiptoe Through the Tulips. That part stuck out to me so much as a kid, because I had no clue what the song was, that I asked my parents about what it was and my mom sang it to me 😂
About the delivery of the letter for muggle-born students, I think Harry got owl post because he wasn't muggle-born, plain and easy, and it's an automagic system. Hagrid was sent last minute because Harry wasn't receiving his letters and Dumbledore's plan relied on Harry going to Hogwarts.
I think for the question about how muggleborns get letters, the assumption was that Harry knew about magic already. Hagrid certainly seemed to think he did, and even if he didn’t, the Dursleys still did, so it would understandable to set an owl.
Muggleborns get a member of the Hogwarts staff to come visit them and explain to both them and their parents that they are magical and there's a wizard school they can go to. I think Dumbledore just wanted to mess with the Dursely's
The more I think about it, the more I really don't like where they are going with the draco story in the slytherin harry series. Starting in chamber, the whole reason Tom took ginny into the chamber instead of having her just kidnap anyone was not only because it was her that was giving the book life but it was also harrys best friends sister. Beyond that, just because Draco starts talking to the book and wants to help doesn't mean he can just give power to a memory. It took a long time of deep emotional energy from ginny, a soul to soul kind of connection, before he could come out of the book. So I question whether or not Draco begging to help would allow the memory of Tom riddle to gain power like ginny did. Even if Draco stole the diary and used it (which was an awesome idea), he would have taken ginny into the chamber and it would have still been GINNY that would be dying. I also dont feel like Draco would have stood up to his father and given dobby a sock, even if harry just saved him. Draco is a spoiled entitled rich kid bully...hes not giving up his slave lol And Draco literally only just would have tried to help the Heir of slytherin MURDER children and harry himself. He's not gonna all of the sudden be a changed person immediately in the aftermath and think harry is just oh so cool and amazing all of the sudden. When James saved Snapes life, all it did was deepen his resentment for James...I guarantee the exact same thing would have happened here. Harry being in slytherin wouldn't change dracos entire upbringing before the first book to the point he suddenly was capable of having a change of heart as a rich spoiled 12 year old child. But, as SCB pointed out, it's inevitable that harry have an impact on Draco a little earlier than in the original stories if they are around each other so much more. And then in the real POA, ginny was affected by the dementors after the chamber of Secrets but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as it was for harry. The whole point was that harry had been through MUCH worse. So I just don't feel like Draco will be affected just as much as harry as if he's somehow suffered like harry has to the point he would fall off his broom too and take patronus lessons with harry. The kid wanted to literally kill classmates just a couple months before. But then again, dudley saw himself as he really was and it totally destroyed him so maybe that could have happened here too. And then for practical purposes, visibility at the quidditch match was awful. Dumbledore only just barely was able to save harry before he hit the ground with wandless magic. How is he saving both harry and Draco? And don't suggest Snape or anyone else because it's pretty clear nobody but Dumbledore was capable of saving harry, they even say something about how it would have been horrible if Dumbledore wasn't there. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series and regardless of how it goes, this series is awesome! This is honestly the first time I have been so adamantly against SCB on some theory or idea or anything lol I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, I just really had to express this because I feel so strongly about it. Though, as I've though a little more about it, I really don't think it's too far fetched. It's not where I would have gone with it but it's not like I know better than any other hp fan. I edited the comment a little so it doesn't come off so rude while still leaving the main points. Even though it removed their ❤️ I didn't want to give the wrong impression.
Omg I can't believe they hearted this! I really hope I didn't hurt anybodys feelings, their's especially but anyone who reads this comment either! Maybe I was a little harsh, I was feeling passionate when I typed this out lol
Glad to see you are thinking about it so much! I wouldnt say Draco has exactly turned on a dime or anything or that he and harry are really besties by any means. There is just no way around that Harry being in Slytherin would affect Draco the most, and its not like he's not on a redemption arc in the main story anyway it just takes a LOT longer for him to get there.. which he still only barely does. At the end of the day its all just guess work anyway the further we get from the start of the story the bigger the changes become, and obviously we cant please everyone, but really I dont even know where the story is going - Like we arent trying to force it in any given direction just applying what we know to each scenario and then moving forward and seeing where we end up. Either way thanks for watching!
@@SuperCarlinBrothers you know, now that I think about it...I do think it would be inevitable that harry would have a positive affect on Draco because that's just the kind of character harry is. You can't really be around him and not become a better person. He really has a positive impact on so many characters, Remus, Sirius, Ron and, like you said, even Draco by the end. Maybe I am being a little too critical and need to just see where this goes before I pan it. I'm only speculating myself and not everyone will see things my way. Can't wait to see the rest of the videos either way they go, it's definitely got me thinking alot as I reread the books before each episode!

About the Muggle-Born letter, yeah Harry is not Muggle-born, and Petunia already knew about Hogwarts. He's an exception. But normally, Muggle-Born are hand delivered the letter by someone of the school, to explain the school, what it means, and explain to the parents about magic. See Tom Riddle with Dumbledore.
30:32 A school rep visits muggle kids to explain the situation. Harry didn't get this because they assumed the Dursleys had told him of his heritage. That's why Hagrid was so surprised and incensed that Harry didn't know he was a wizard.
Guys, my husband and I have just been trying to find out if it’s written differently in the ‘sorcerers’ stone. BUT in the Philosophers stone, Marge eats a funny ‘whelk’ not a fig!

I always love me my SuperCarlinBrothers Harry Potter trivia videos. Im just sad that we’ll have to wait until next week for the next installment in the “what if Harry had been sorted into Slytherin” series 😭😭 I have been so excited for that all week!! But this will be great too
Harry probably got the letter first because the dursleys were supposed to tell him he was a wizard as per Dumbledores original letter to them. So they assumed the letter to Hogwarts would make sense and they wouldn't need a representative . Also I always took 'Adelbert wafflings' name as waffling on.. like pratteling on..when you go on and on about something. Kinda how professor binns did.
Harry got the letter because he was signed up and in the zoo he finally showed signs of magical powers so the Hogwarts scroll finally signed him in too.
Nope Like hagrid says, Harry's name has been in the book of acceptance since the day he was born He got the letter because hogwarts knew his autny and uncle knew about the wizarding world and wouldn't need it explaining to them unlike a muggleborn who would get a teacher to show them diagon alley and explain everything (just like what hagrid did)
Pewter is an alloy of 92% tin, 6-7%antimony and 1-2% copper. the tin leaves it quite malleable and easy move, the copper would spread the heat and the fluid inside the cauldron would keep the tin from melting. Iron ones would heat too quickly and hold that heat to the point of over heating the potions.
25:58 "ate a funny whelk", 'funny' doesnt imply that it looked odd, it just means bad, but I like the idea of Marge irresponsibly eating dodgy looking seafood!
Also wanted to add that at 30:24 the reason Harry gets and owl is because they think the Dursley’s have told Harry about magic like they were supposed too

FUN FACT FROM A PEWTERSMITH: Old time pewter had a muuch lower melting temp at only 126°f and a big contributing factor in this was they used peaf in pewter back then. Nowadays we don't use lead in our pewter for obvious safety reasons and the result of that is pewter has a higher melting temp around 175°f

Pewter has a melting point of 170 - 230°C so yes it is considered softer than other metals (i.e. copper: 1084°C; aluminum: 660°C; carbon steel: 1425 - 1540°C; brass: 930°C; cast iron: 1204°C; stainless steel: 1375 - 1530°C) but I assume that's because first years would not be brewing anything that requires extreme high heat or sustained heating.

@@weckar I meant that outside of the Harry Potter series, historically speaking, pewter was considered to be magically conductive within the practice of witchcraft. As such, it stands to reason that pewter was chosen by JKR in reference to that knowledge.
@You're Gonna Hate This tinfoil is metal, and bends very easily. Therefore metal can bend at thicknesses greater than a few microns. You couldn’t make use of wires and cables otherwise.
This is my appreciation comment on behalf of Riley continuing to nail the editing. Thanks, Riley, we appreciate you!
The last question. Usually for Muggleborns they have a member of staff deliver the letter in person so the parents can have the situation explained to them, and to have people on hand to alter memories should there be negative reception, considering it's revealing the magical world to muggles which may violate the statute of secrecy.
Edit: I think the reason harry was an exception is because the Dursleys already knew about magic, even though they disliked it, they were aware of it because of Dumbledore's letter and Petunia's family.
Riley misread the word "faculty" as "facility".
I can't believe they got the author question right but not this! Idk why but to me this was an easy question.
@@PhilBagels Either that or there was an autocorrect issue on the submission end.
When I was a little kid, I used to think privet was just the way Jim Dale said "private" and never looked it up till I was an adult. Now I know it's a kind of flower. Reading the books in German, they translate the street name using the German work for privet - Liguster. However, in the Hawaiian version, the translator calls the street Ala Pilikino, which means "private road" 🤣
This kind of stuff just fascinates me! Thanks for sharing! 😯😆
In Czech, it´s "Zobí ulice 4"
"Zob" basically means "bird feed", which is our name for the Privet (shrub).
Which made me laugh as a kid when all the birds (owls) were swarming the place.
That is cool, both the fact and you knowing & sharing w/ us. Thanks [:)]
In the norwegian version it's called "Hekkveien", which means "Hedge Road" or "Hedge Street". Possibly refering to being sheltered behind the prim and propper Hedges?
In Dutch it's also called Ligusterlaan (lane). And Surrey is translated to Klein (little) Zanikem, which is a play on the Dutch word Zaniken which means 'to moan/complain in an irritating way about the same subject over and over again.'
Imagine if Harry had gone to the wrong wand shop, no same wand core, it would have been very different
I mean I feel like JK Rowling would've just beefed up the Horcrux plot line in that case. And its very possible since Ollivander isn't even the only wand maker in Diagon Alley let alone Britain let alone the world.
@@TheAutisticBrony I mean, not the only one, but by and large recognized as the best, and I don't think there's any timeline or possible order of events that would have made Hagrid ever take Harry to any other shop.
Ollivander’s is the only wand shop in wizarding Britain.
@@TheAutisticBrony He is the only one in Britain for all intents and purposes. Of course other people into wandlore will make wands, but Ollivanders is synonymous with wands. He’s known as the best wandmaker in the world. He has no competition in Britain.
I'm sure Dumbledore made sure Hagrid took Harry to Ollivander's. He knew his Phoenix had given two feathers to Ollivander and that Voldemort has a wand with one
I think the Dumbledore title should have gone to Ben because he actually got the whole grand sorcerer title not just sorcerer. I feel he gets ripped off a bit like this, and never argues it.
Agreed
Also "mail courier" feels closer to "hand delivered by facility member" as a "courier" doesn't apply to just postal workers or a broader system like J put. At the very least I feel as though they tied this round
I'm always angry at J when he snatches the points when he shouldn't get any, but you're right, half of the time Ben loses points because he doesn't even try to argue. He just assumes he's wrong and J is right.
That’s cause J is a dirty cheater.
agreed! J always argues for himself but Ben doesn’t. i think that’s one of the reasons J wins more
About the last question, I remember that Hermione says that Magonagal came to her house to give Hermione her letter and to explain everything to her parents and show them around Diagon Alley
The way I always justified the answer to the last question is that A: Harry isn't muggle born, and B: Hagrid assumed Harry was told about his parents by the Dursleys, so naturally the rest of the staff thought he knew as well.
The last question reminds me of how Tom Riddle got his invitation to Hogwarts via Dumbledore
In the movies it doesn't say it but I DO remember reading about how a teacher or something would bring the muggle borna their letters and explain everything to help with the shock. I always assumed Harry got his letter through owl post only because Vernon and Petunia already knew about the wizarding world so I'm sure they thought Harry would as well (and even if they knew he didn't know his guardians still did so it wouldn't be a shock to them).
Like was mentioned in another thread it was sort of shown when Albus came to visit Riddle.
When you have been watching so many J vs. Ben quizzes over the years, that you start recognizing the names of the patreons 😅
I laughed way too hard at how quickly J answered "funeral home" for what business he would use to launder money 🤣
I think this was the first time I knew the answer to a question that they got wrong. The hand delivering of the letter by a staff member is something that definitely stuck with me, so I’m surprised they didn’t know it.
It's like when Ben forgot that the train leaves at 11
I didn't remember the answer from the books, but just thinking about it logically, it makes perfect sense. A wizarding family (or the unusual case of the Dursleys) only needs an owl because they already know what's up, while a muggle family would have no idea what to make of the letter and probably assume it's a hoax, so a staff member goes in person to explain everything.
Marge ate a funny whelk, its a sea snail you can buy and eat, they can be sold everywhere but most common is on the English coast. She was holidaying on the Isle of White which is a small island of the southern coast, made up of primarily coastlines. Its very plausible she ate it a few days before sending the postcard and was still feeling the ill effects but not as bad, we British people like sharing the misery especially if it had ruined our fun. She probably only went for the weekend so she may of been ill most of her time there so people had to know about it, Vernon, Petunia, Dudley and even the postman. :)
The trivia quizes get more and more niche and specific haha
Can’t wait for The Ultimate Harry’s Glasses Quiz
@@thephony1651 Which spell did Hermione use on the first trainride to HOGWART?!???
Obvious statement is obvious
@@JennifuhhGilardi cool
I love J's K-night bus t! Really enjoyed taking this quiz with you
I know I want it!
Didn't Snape let Lily that someone from the school would come by with it, because she is a muggle born witch? I think the only reason Harry gets the owls is because Dumbledore left a letter with Harry explaining everything, and it was assumed that he would be told that he was a wizard. That's why Hagrid was so surprised that Harry didn't know.
And we even got the story of how Dumbledore delivered it to Tom Riddle
Plus Petunia already knows about Hogwarts.
I was surprised the guys forgot there was a wizard stirring his tea without a wand by magic while reading a book by Steven Hawking...
Fun fact. He's listed as a warlock in the credits (doesn't appear in the books) so technically they didn't forget because TECHNICALLY there wasn't a wizard doing wandless magic
@@goblinpopcorn1367 could you imagine if Dumbledor studied Hawking? Or if Harry had been given a good education as a muggle? The spells they could have come up with or applications of the spells... Like using a shrinking charm on arteries instead of a whole person in a fight...
He was pointed out to me by a Tumblr thread, which jokingly speculated he could do wandless magic because he understood complicated physics, and therefore developed a higher understanding of how magic itself worked.
@@PerovNigma except wandless magic isn't exactly rare, wizards simply use them as a focus of sorts. They're far from *needed*
@@goblinpopcorn1367 Oh, that's clear from magical children doing odd things before going to Hogwarts. But intentional wandless magic is still an incredibly powerful feat. I can only think of one canon use of the top of my head, and that's from Grindelwald, in _Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them._
Muggle borns need a witch or wizard to explain to them and their parents the fact that there is a magical world and they are now part of it. The Dursleys knew about the magical world already through Petunia and Dumbledore knew this, argo owl post. The magical world didn’t realize the extent to which Harry was being abused/kept in the dark.
I imagine Marge's postcard was from some trip she went on and probably also said standard postcard stuff, like "Wonderfull weather in Mallorca" and that she ate something funny or foreign her body didn't agree with and was like "been stuck at the hotel all day" or "had to go home early", only Vernon didn't read the whole think out loud, but that's just my head canon.
She was vacationing on the Isle of Wight. I checked the book. She also ate a funny whelk (not fig), and I'm pretty sure that's what made her ill. Just thinking about eating a sea snail would make ME sick! LOL
@@jemma50 Oh, thanks. I probably had that in the back of my mind but didn't quite remember. Also knew that Mallorca bit was from where Vernon wanted to go shopping for a holiday home if he closed the deal in Chamber (right?) so I didn't know how much I was mixing things up and how much I was just fabricating stuff.
@@Blixthand 👍
Thanks for posting this today! It's my dad's birthday and we love to watch your Harry Potter videos while we eat our tea.
I love how much "funny fig" tickled Ben 😂
It was funny but I can't get it with the fact that it was a freaking whelk
I'm confused why they called it fig. Is it from some in joke between them? I even double checked, a welk is a snail.
@@Amatwigger they might have been thinking of their neighbor misses fig??
I've had a long and tiring day and I was just about to give up but this revitalized me. Thank you for always putting a smile on my face
Same here this Chanel just has a way of bringing back smiles
The wand question was very niche but it's in the books. Hagrig mentions the other wand maker's name but points out that everyone would still go out to Olivanders since his quality output is just higher.
It's been a couple of years since I read the books, but I found myself subconsciously humming "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" as soon as the question was asked. 🤔
5:40-5:44 I was drinking Gatorade and just sprayed it all over my screen and kayboard I was not expecting that at all 🤣🤣🤣
24:35 I actually have my personal thoughts on that!
You obviously can't just scale up and make more magical things. That's still relatively normal to them. An even higher magic setting would be more akin to sci-fi for them.
On the contrary however, they are EXTREMELY behind in technology. To the point where it might seem almost... magical... to those who didn't grow up in the muggle world.
TL:DR In magical settings sci fi and fantasy essentially swap roles.
That's an interesting thought
@@limiv5272 thanks!
A facility memeber... like when Dumbledore gives Tom Riddle his letter and explain what Hogwarts is. Or when Snape tells Lily that a member of Hogwarts will come explain the situation to her parents.
The Marge is ill bit had me dying! Never thought about how ridiculous it is to tell someone you're sick via postcard.
I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere (whether in one of the books or on Pottermore) that McGonagall delivered Hogwarts letters to muggleborns to explain to the parents about magic.
Thats also why Dumbledore went to meet Tom Riddle in the orphanage.
"marge is ill, ate a funny WHELK" i am screaming
There has to be a day that Ben forgot to leave the brick that holds the boor open to the Roof and had to call James to get him once.
The “funny fig” section of the video had me in stitches. Love your videos!
For the final patreon question I love to imagine all muggle born students get their letters personally delivered by Hagrid.
If they do he took that job over from McGonagall at least according to movie flame
Barnes & Noble does seem like it would have a secret back room for Wizard books
I love these J vs Ben videos!!!
Question, when did Ben start getting quote ideas from Matthew McConaughey?
"I was driving a Lincoln way before they paid me to." -Matthew McConaughey
"I was wearing meundies way before they sponsored our channel." -Ben Carlin
Tell Riley his hint was very helpful - I had the melody in my head and couldn’t put a title to it. 😄
Rileys singing totally gave it away for me. Good job! 👏
Major props to Riley's singing! I actually got it.
30:32 Harry isn't muggle-born, he was just raised by muggles. That's why he got it the wizard-way
Hagrid brought a Hogwarts letter to Harry and Dumbledore once did the same for a young Tom Riddle, so I think it's sort of implied that Hogwarts always sends a staff member to kids raised by Muggles, even if this isn't directly explained.
Love how everyone cites Snape telling Lily someone will come and explain to her parents about magic and Hogwarts as the most explicit source of the standard procedure with children brought up by muggles. It's not like we actually saw Dumbledore doing exactly that with young Tom Riddle xD
I started singing Tiptoe Through the Tulips when he hummed but doubted it was the actual answer lol
I think funeral home is actually a good business front for money laundering because the services and prices are not only not standardized, they are famously highly priced up and remain quite cash-based despite the rise of other payment options. And it won't be easily discovered since people don't usually ask or talk about how much funerary services cost. Almost no one price shops for that. It's the kind of thing only the most finance-savvy people even think about. The biggest issue might be the interval between clients though... (lol that sounds so ominous)
I had no idea what the answer for Vernon's singing would be, but I immediately recognized Ryan's tune (though I still thought I must be mishearing or something, because I still didn't believe the answer was Tiptoe Through the Tulips).
Little fact. Pewter has a melting Point of ~170 - 230 °C while charcoal or wood burning produces a heat of about 1000°C. The cauldron would probably melt instantly. Though there may be some enchantments placed on it to make it more resistant to heat.
It is mentioned in one of the books that a professor hand delivers the letter to muggle born students to explain their parents about the wizarding world.
The letter does say - Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore (Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorcerer, Chief Warlock, Supreme Mugwump, International Confederacy of Wizards) - so Headmaster was there, but not the titles the question was probably asking.
P.S. I had to Google this, cause I didn't believe it either haha.
I have been listening to the audiobooks on repeat for a few months… I can finish all seven books in a week, which is 100 hours worth (youtube video version).
I got a hundred percent, I did notice that the were basically questions about Diagon Ally shop. They didn’t ask the question about “what colour are the fastenings on the winter coats, only mentioned in the first letter.
Tip Toe through the Tulips was my answer before they even received multiple choices answers.
What channel do you listen to them on? I want to listen as well!
“I know how big letters should be” John Mulaney
It blows my mind that they didn’t get Tiptoe Through the Tulips. That part stuck out to me so much as a kid, because I had no clue what the song was, that I asked my parents about what it was and my mom sang it to me 😂
About the delivery of the letter for muggle-born students, I think Harry got owl post because he wasn't muggle-born, plain and easy, and it's an automagic system. Hagrid was sent last minute because Harry wasn't receiving his letters and Dumbledore's plan relied on Harry going to Hogwarts.
Funfact: Pewter has a melting point of ~230°C while wood starts burning at around 300°C with up to ~1100°C
26:00 Marge ate a funny whelk. I think you were thinking of Mrs. Figgs.
The situation in which the postcard inception is still hilarious though
I think for the question about how muggleborns get letters, the assumption was that Harry knew about magic already. Hagrid certainly seemed to think he did, and even if he didn’t, the Dursleys still did, so it would understandable to set an owl.
Muggleborns get a member of the Hogwarts staff to come visit them and explain to both them and their parents that they are magical and there's a wizard school they can go to. I think Dumbledore just wanted to mess with the Dursely's
The more I think about it, the more I really don't like where they are going with the draco story in the slytherin harry series. Starting in chamber, the whole reason Tom took ginny into the chamber instead of having her just kidnap anyone was not only because it was her that was giving the book life but it was also harrys best friends sister. Beyond that, just because Draco starts talking to the book and wants to help doesn't mean he can just give power to a memory. It took a long time of deep emotional energy from ginny, a soul to soul kind of connection, before he could come out of the book. So I question whether or not Draco begging to help would allow the memory of Tom riddle to gain power like ginny did. Even if Draco stole the diary and used it (which was an awesome idea), he would have taken ginny into the chamber and it would have still been GINNY that would be dying.
I also dont feel like Draco would have stood up to his father and given dobby a sock, even if harry just saved him. Draco is a spoiled entitled rich kid bully...hes not giving up his slave lol And Draco literally only just would have tried to help the Heir of slytherin MURDER children and harry himself. He's not gonna all of the sudden be a changed person immediately in the aftermath and think harry is just oh so cool and amazing all of the sudden. When James saved Snapes life, all it did was deepen his resentment for James...I guarantee the exact same thing would have happened here. Harry being in slytherin wouldn't change dracos entire upbringing before the first book to the point he suddenly was capable of having a change of heart as a rich spoiled 12 year old child. But, as SCB pointed out, it's inevitable that harry have an impact on Draco a little earlier than in the original stories if they are around each other so much more.
And then in the real POA, ginny was affected by the dementors after the chamber of Secrets but it wasn't anywhere near as bad as it was for harry. The whole point was that harry had been through MUCH worse. So I just don't feel like Draco will be affected just as much as harry as if he's somehow suffered like harry has to the point he would fall off his broom too and take patronus lessons with harry. The kid wanted to literally kill classmates just a couple months before. But then again, dudley saw himself as he really was and it totally destroyed him so maybe that could have happened here too. And then for practical purposes, visibility at the quidditch match was awful. Dumbledore only just barely was able to save harry before he hit the ground with wandless magic. How is he saving both harry and Draco? And don't suggest Snape or anyone else because it's pretty clear nobody but Dumbledore was capable of saving harry, they even say something about how it would have been horrible if Dumbledore wasn't there.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the series and regardless of how it goes, this series is awesome! This is honestly the first time I have been so adamantly against SCB on some theory or idea or anything lol I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, I just really had to express this because I feel so strongly about it. Though, as I've though a little more about it, I really don't think it's too far fetched. It's not where I would have gone with it but it's not like I know better than any other hp fan. I edited the comment a little so it doesn't come off so rude while still leaving the main points. Even though it removed their ❤️ I didn't want to give the wrong impression.
I disagree, I don’t think draco really wanted to kill anyone, more just scare them, also, being that close to death will make many people change
Omg I can't believe they hearted this! I really hope I didn't hurt anybodys feelings, their's especially but anyone who reads this comment either! Maybe I was a little harsh, I was feeling passionate when I typed this out lol
Glad to see you are thinking about it so much! I wouldnt say Draco has exactly turned on a dime or anything or that he and harry are really besties by any means. There is just no way around that Harry being in Slytherin would affect Draco the most, and its not like he's not on a redemption arc in the main story anyway it just takes a LOT longer for him to get there.. which he still only barely does. At the end of the day its all just guess work anyway the further we get from the start of the story the bigger the changes become, and obviously we cant please everyone, but really I dont even know where the story is going - Like we arent trying to force it in any given direction just applying what we know to each scenario and then moving forward and seeing where we end up. Either way thanks for watching!
@@SuperCarlinBrothers where is harry GOF
@@SuperCarlinBrothers you know, now that I think about it...I do think it would be inevitable that harry would have a positive affect on Draco because that's just the kind of character harry is. You can't really be around him and not become a better person. He really has a positive impact on so many characters, Remus, Sirius, Ron and, like you said, even Draco by the end. Maybe I am being a little too critical and need to just see where this goes before I pan it. I'm only speculating myself and not everyone will see things my way. Can't wait to see the rest of the videos either way they go, it's definitely got me thinking alot as I reread the books before each episode!
Size two is directly related to Pencils in school. Always the Number 2 Pencil, naturally is a standard size two pewter cauldron.
Even before the second question finished I just screamed "Tiptoe through the tulips!" and ended up spilling my dinner! Hahaha!
Oh I thought for sure that I learned about the professors delivering the letters to the Muggle born students from you guys. But Maybe I was wrong.
yayyyy!!! thank you so much!!! Potter quizzes are my favorite!! anything Potter really. Watch all that you post multiple times. You guys are the GOAT of Potterverse!!!!!
apparently “pewter, standard, size 2” is lodged firmly somewhere in my
head because it immediately came
to mind
Same here
Yes I shouted this out loud when the question came up. I surprised myself!
About the Muggle-Born letter, yeah Harry is not Muggle-born, and Petunia already knew about Hogwarts. He's an exception.
But normally, Muggle-Born are hand delivered the letter by someone of the school, to explain the school, what it means, and explain to the parents about magic. See Tom Riddle with Dumbledore.
Yes, Professor Mcgonagle delivered Hermione's.
"Marge is ill," he {Uncle Vernon} said. "Ate a funny whelk..." It's not fig.
I was really hoping Uncle Vernon was singing Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up. Rick rolling Harry in the process.
30:32 A school rep visits muggle kids to explain the situation. Harry didn't get this because they assumed the Dursleys had told him of his heritage. That's why Hagrid was so surprised and incensed that Harry didn't know he was a wizard.
omg 6:56 AMAZING jig from Jonathan
i live for these! thank you for your service.
Guys, my husband and I have just been trying to find out if it’s written differently in the ‘sorcerers’ stone. BUT in the Philosophers stone, Marge eats a funny ‘whelk’ not a fig! Please let me know if it’s different for you! I assumed they had kept everything the same except references to ‘philosopher’. Big fan, we love your quizzes!
No, it's still a whelk
I always love me my SuperCarlinBrothers Harry Potter trivia videos. Im just sad that we’ll have to wait until next week for the next installment in the “what if Harry had been sorted into Slytherin” series 😭😭 I have been so excited for that all week!! But this will be great too
Agreed
Harry probably got the letter first because the dursleys were supposed to tell him he was a wizard as per Dumbledores original letter to them. So they assumed the letter to Hogwarts would make sense and they wouldn't need a representative .
Also I always took 'Adelbert wafflings' name as waffling on.. like pratteling on..when you go on and on about something. Kinda how professor binns did.
Marge ate a funny whelk… which is a type of sea creature lol I think a sea snail?
I wonder if Borgin and Burkes ever is mentioned a having a wand for sale? Seems the place one might be found!
Sorcerer supreme sounds like a special at Taco Bell
6:48 Lisa! Lisa! Look! You can see the exact moment his heart breaks in two!
I have always been convinced it's " ate a funny whelk" that made more sense to me lol Thanks for bursting that bubble
You're correct
It is actually whelk, so you're correct. I have no idea where they got fig lol
@@theatropawood maybe Mrs. Figg, their neighbor
Harry got the letter because he was signed up and in the zoo he finally showed signs of magical powers so the Hogwarts scroll finally signed him in too.
Nope
Like hagrid says, Harry's name has been in the book of acceptance since the day he was born
He got the letter because hogwarts knew his autny and uncle knew about the wizarding world and wouldn't need it explaining to them unlike a muggleborn who would get a teacher to show them diagon alley and explain everything (just like what hagrid did)
Harry was showing magic since he was an infant.
Pewter is an alloy of 92% tin, 6-7%antimony and 1-2% copper. the tin leaves it quite malleable and easy move, the copper would spread the heat and the fluid inside the cauldron would keep the tin from melting. Iron ones would heat too quickly and hold that heat to the point of over heating the potions.
25:58 "ate a funny whelk", 'funny' doesnt imply that it looked odd, it just means bad, but I like the idea of Marge irresponsibly eating dodgy looking seafood!
I love how there's a parasol behind Ben. 💙
Also wanted to add that at 30:24 the reason Harry gets and owl is because they think the Dursley’s have told Harry about magic like they were supposed too
Finally an official quiz, which was a bit hard .... I got:
7/10 · Scored 70%
Result: We can expect great things
Pretty
good. We’ll be in touch - keep an eye out for our owl.

There is actually a wand shop mentioned in half blood prince, because pllivander has been taken. I only remember this because I'm rereading half blood prince for the 4th or 5th time.

FUN FACT FROM A PEWTERSMITH: Old time pewter had a muuch lower melting temp at only 126°f and a big contributing factor in this was they used peaf in pewter back then. Nowadays we don't use lead in our pewter for obvious safety reasons and the result of that is pewter has a higher melting temp around 175°f
