    Who were they? And what did they contribute to the Hogwarts legacy?
    Today, we're going to be DIVING in and uncovering the 28 headmasters / headmistresses that have graced Hogwarts over its lengthy history.

    Umbridge was never truly the Headmistress of Hogwarts because the Headmaster's office refused to let her in. It was as if Hogwarts itself did not recognize her as the legitimate Headmistress. The office did however let Snape in, effectively legitimizing him as a true Headmaster, despite having been appointed by Voldemort. That's why his portrait hangs in the Headmaster's office but Umbridge does not have one.

    Do you think Harry would become Headmaster eventually?
    My head canon is that he works as an Auror until Lily leaves school. With all his kids out of the house, Harry decides to retire as an Auror and teaches Defense at Hogwarts and eventually becomes Headmaster. I just kinda like the idea that Hogwarts will never stop being his home.

    2:06
    *Heliotrope Wilkins*
    Heliotrope means sunflower 🌻 from the Hellenic word Ηλιοτρόπιο/ iliotròpio
    2:29
    *Phyllida Spore*
    Another Hellenic name but I’m not sure about its meaning…
    It sounds like a couple of words and I cannot be sure for its meaning if I don’t see it written in Hellenic or the term’s origin.
    Any name or word in English that “ph” is pronounced as “f” is Hellenic🇬🇷
    Phyllida sounds like the word φύλο/fílo meaning leaf or some sort of leafy foliage.
    It also sounds like the term φιλήδονος/filídonos meaning sensual.
    Phílos + idoní
    Friend + pleasure …
    I can’t be sure!
    3:00
    *Edessa Sakndenberg*
    Edessa is a place name from Makedonia🇬🇷
    It’s a town near the birth place of Alexander the Great.
    In Hellenic it’s Έδεσσα/édessa and it’s stressed at the first syllable.
    The original town was in Makedonia🇬🇷 but after Alexander speared Hellenism to the whole world many cities founded and got Hellenic names out of Hellas!!!
    You can find Hellenic names like Edessa in Syria and Ukraine today. Sparta in turkey and Mesopotamia… etc
    Edessa means something like the place of the many waters. It’s a city surrounded by water fountains with fresh water and waterfalls!
    9:12
    *Eupraxia Mole*
    Another info, words starting with “eu” and pronounced as “ef…” are also Hellenic🇬🇷
    Ευπραξία / efpraksía > eupraxia
    Eu + pràxis
    Eu meaning good, nice
    Pràxis meaning deed, action.
    Eupraxia means good deeds, good actions!
    11:00
    *Basil Fronsac*
    Basil is the latinised way to write the Hellenic name Βασίλειος / Vasílios
    It’s written with B but in Hellenic B is V
    So, it’s pronounced Vasílios.
    It derives from the term Βασιλιάς / Vasiliás meaning King, Ruler.
    13:54
    *Phineas Nigelus Black*
    Again, ph > f = 🇬🇷
    Φινέας / Finéas was a son of Poseidon and Cassiopeia.
    He gave his name to a city in Thrace🇬🇷 called Fineòpolis.
    According to the myth he was killed by Harpies.
    •Many members of the Black Family had Hellenic names particularly names of stars and constellations taken from the Hellenic mythology!!!
    19:36
    *Minerva McGonagall*
    Now, Minerva isn’t a Hellenic name BUT it is a name of the Hellene Goddess taken by the Romans and latinised!
    When Romans conquered Hellas they adopted many aspects of our civilisation and culture, one of them was our religion!
    Romans took the Gods of the Hellenic pantheon and changed them into Latin.
    Zeus became Jupiter
    Hera became Juno
    Aphrodite became Venus
    Ares became Mars
    Poseidon became Neptune
    Hestia became Vesta
    Hermes became Mercury
    ….(many more)…
    And Athena became Minerva!
    Yes, the name Minerva is the Latin translation of the Hellene Goddess Athena!

      He literally made Quiditch unavailable to play, because a child got hurt. If memory serves. So he seems like a good natured Umbridge. Unlike the one actual Umbridge we got in the movies who just outlawed things, and punished kids for some reason.
      Probably never had kids, and sired hatred from it. Also, she's basically a crazy cat lady.

    18:50 - Snape as headmaster was actually an excellent choice, and Dumbledore knew it. He knew he was dying and he knew Snape as headmaster would try to protect the students from the vicious evil of Voldemort. It was revealed that Snape ensured that when students were given terrible punishments by the Carrows, he would ensure they wouldn't be hurt. He would for example send them to help Hagrid. With Snape as headmaster, the students were far better protected than if he wasn't there. Imagine the horrors if the Carrows or Umbridge was headmaster in that awful year?

There was only so much he could do without raising suspicion from Voldemort or the Carrows. In interviews JK Rowling was asked about Snape as headmaster, and she said that Snape tried his best to protect the students. This is why Dumbledore wanted him as headmaster.

Basically you get to decide Britain's magical population's future with it. We dont get in-depth detail of his career, but I am sure he wasnt shy to hide his biased opinions in front of anybody. He was a smart man and worked enough on the job, to not get fired but not too much because he lacked the drive.

    So I just googled who replaced McGonagall as transfiguration professor but all it said was that:
    'Professor Marazion succeeded Minerva McGonagall in the post of Head of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This individual became Headmaster or Headmistress some time between 2008 and 2017 after Minerva McGonagall went into retirement as she was "getting on a bit".' I don't know if it's true but I wonder what this Headmaster/Headmistress was like?
    I also wonder who replaced Professor McGonagall in Transfiguration, I did Google it but I can't find anything on it, it just said the quote that I said above. I'm genuinely curious about who was Transfiguration Professor after McGonagall. Also if Harry Potter and the Cursed Child said anything about it I don't want to hear it, I do not consider it's Canon, there are so many plot-holes and if Delphi was born before the Battle of Hogwarts, then Bellatrix would have been heavily pregnant in the Battle at Malfoy Manor. She would not have been able to move as agile as she was in the books and movies. And there also would have been a huge baby bump when they battled, the corset that she was wearing would not have been able to hide that and if it did, it would be endangering the baby and there would not be a lot of chance that it survived.

    Hagrid is perfect to let people know that magic is real and you're about to send your child to a wizard boarding school. a giant with a pink umbrella showing up and telling you your kid is a wizard is going to be a bit easier to believe than if some old dude in funny clothes shows up. Hagrid would be less likely to have to show a muggle magic to prove his claim as just looking at him makes it clear.

    • @NAMELESSHOSTAGE

      Hagrid maybe a half-giant and he may lack a level of proficiency in magic, but he is the kinda guy who will pick you up when you fall on the roadside even if your family moves ahead. He is caring. Can be scary at times. But generally very good mannered.

      My theory is that Dumbledore would have taken Sirius in on the secret. Why? Because Dumbledore knew Sirius would do anything to protect Harry. Sirius would have been Dumbledore`s insurance policy for Harry. So Dumbledore would have probably called in a meeting with Sirius and Snape, to tell them his main plan for Harry. So that after his death Snape and Sirius do not mess things up. Harry would then have gone off on the horcrux hunt with Ron, Hermione and Sirius. Sirius would have been invaluable with his magical knowledge and experience.

    • @isaac_aren

    • @paulyb7267
      @paulyb7267 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@isaac_aren Albus Dumbledore was Sirius's Headmaster at Hogwarts. Like the rest of the wizarding world, Dumbledore initially believed it was Sirius who betrayed James and Lily to Voldemort, but was quick to accept Sirius's innocence when he learned the Secret-Keeper had actually been Pettigrew, and helped Hermione and Harry to save Sirius from the Dementor's Kiss, and to escape from his Ministry captors, by means of a Time-Turner and Buckbeak. The two resumed their friendship, and Sirius helped Dumbledore to recall the Order of the Phoenix an hour after Voldemort returned. However, their relationship was soon strained: Dumbledore forced Sirius to stay at 12 Grimmauld Place on account of his being a wanted convict, and because he had a tendency to act rashly, which could lead him to put himself in great danger.
      Though his intentions were noble, Sirius could not bring himself to appreciate Dumbledore's actions, as he utterly despised the home which brought him many bitter, unhappy memories, and the fact that he was to be alone in the house most of the time with only his house elf for company made it all the more intolerable. Nevertheless, he still trusted Dumbledore enough to confide in him about how Harry felt Voldemort awaking inside him the night that Arthur Weasley was attacked. Dumbledore was devastated when Sirius was killed by Bellatrix, believing that it was mostly his fault, and he later expressed to Harry his belief that Sirius was a brave, clever, and energetic man, who would never be content with sitting at home in hiding while his loved ones were in danger. Sirius's death was also a factor that led to Dumbledore finally revealing to Harry things that had been kept secret from him, mainly about the true power of his mother's sacrificial protection and the prophecy about him and Voldemort.

    I would name the first headmaster “Alfric Thorpe”, husband of Matilda Gryffindor (daughter of Godric Gryffindor).
    And I would assume that Alfric was installed as the new head of Gryffindor upon his father-in-law’s resignation, and later became promoted to “Headmaster” as a token of respect for all his wisdom and guidance in regards to him being the most respected among the four Hogwarts head teachers of his time.
