The last plothole -- how did Sirius buy Harry's broom? -- was explained quite well in the book. Sirius explained to Harry that Crookshanks delivered the order form, and that Sirius included instructions to take the gold from Sirius' vault at Gringott's. Goblins wouldn't have helped the Ministry track down a wizard. Goblins wouldn't have cared.

This is more “plot holes if you didn’t read the books”

From the beginning list: Harry DID try to contact Sirius after his vision. He used Umbridge's fireplace and spoke to Kreacher who lied to him about Sirius's whereabouts.

Mrs. Weasley knew the platform number. She was just giving Genny a chance to pipe in with "9 3/4!" so that she would feel included.

A weird thing I remember was how petunia talked about lily using magic when she came home for the summer but that should have been illegal

The reason why the pensive doesn't work is because Fudge was determined to not publicly acknowledge he was back. fudge knew he was back but didn't want to admit it. Barty crouch junior was captured, we had Cedric's body, and both Harry and mad eye could testify Voldemort is back. However fudge was not unaware of Voldemorts return he simply refused to admit it

On Colin's camera: Old cameras work by a basic chemical reaction. The lens focuses light on to the film, and the silver in the film reacts. If the magic affected the camera, then potions wouldn't work either. Or any other normal chemical reaction. Tou wouldn't even need to polish any sort of metal, because it would never oxidize.

I think the best explanation for the Stone argument is that Flamel wasn’t ready to give it up quite yet but because he saw how dangerous it would be in the wrong hands it convinced him to let Albus destroy it

I think that Petunia knew more than she ever let on, because, after all, she didn't want Vernon and her son to see her as a “freak.”She was happy to keep her lips sealed about anything that she may have known. I think Snape didn't say anything about the potion's book, because if Harry had found out that it was Sanpe's, it might have led Harry on a trail to his identity, that he knew his mother, and who Eileen Prince was, which was what Sanpe wanted to be kept from Harry at all costs. Voldemort showed up at the ministry because he was called for help, and probably by Bellatrix. Tom still lost several of his inner circle that night, with only Bellatrix escaping. Not all locks can be unlocked with the unlocking spell, even using certain dodgy knives. Harry found that out while in the DoM. Harry did try to contact Sirius, via Umbridge's floo, where Kreacher lied to Harry about Sirius' whereabouts. Harry didn't remember the mirror until he was packing to leave, where he broke it. Plus, his scar was burning, which addled his thoughts. They flat screwed up on Minerva's age. Polyjuice potion takes six months to brew, if I recall, and he would have needed the ingredients. Sirius could have tried to obtain some from one of the Order's members, but I'd say that Dumbledore told them not to help him leave No. 12. The portkey in the tournament was not a timed portkey, it triggered on touch. Barty made sure that Harry would reach it first. Neither Minerva nor Hagrid wished to leave Harry at the Dursleys, that was all Dumbledore's doing, and he was too cowardly to ring the doorbell. However, it was said that Minerva spent the night watching over things until Petunia found him the next morning. Remember, Dumbledore ordered them to not speak to the Dursleys, they were supposed to be left alone. Something was off about Albus and this. It looks like, from the Cursed Child, that Tom may have been interested in Time Turners, as a plot was made after their destruction in the DoM, to construct one between Malfoy, Nott, and, I think, Rookwood. Stating the above, a big plot hole was the abduction of Fortescue. JKR wrote about him, and why he was to be used. Fortescue was well-trained in magical history, and was another seeker of the Deathly Hallows. He would have been who Tom tortured for information about the Hallows, and especially, where he found out about the Elder Wand. JKR left it be, and didn't mention why he was taken.

A lot of these aren't actually plot holes, unless you've only watched the movies. Pottermore explains most of them, and even if you haven't read the books some of them are just common sense

I forget the book, but... as for the poor wizards segment, it was shown they don't conjure the food, at least thats what i was led to believe in my multiple read throughs. I thought the house elves made it in the kitchens and Dumbledore merely relocated it to the tables via magic

#5 I can explain why Dumbledore wasn’t concerned about Hagrid borrowing Sirius’ bike. It’s because that happened before Sirius had cornered Pettigrew. Only after that was Sirius presumed to have been the traitor.

No, Molly wasn't trying to remember the platform number, she was teaching a 10 year old Ginny to remember where she is to find platform 9 3/4 and in turn helped Harry after he asked her.

Harry didn’t know about the two/way mirror until after Sirius’s death.

Me at 1 AM, while having to get up to work at 6: 😂

The reason why Dementors affected Harry so much was because he was having Voldemort's fear of death being triggered by them. Since he already had part of his soul it was what made him even more special to the Dementors because they were interested in such a being. It might be a combination to that the scream of his mother was enough to terrify harry.

For the sirius polyjuice theory: first it takes about a month to produce and most often sirius acted for instant gratification. He was impatient and decided things on a whim. Also, though it was easy for the trio to make in COS, they had the advantage of having most of the ingredients readily available and stole the rest. How was sirius supposed to get ingredients when he was confined at home and others didnt want him out so they wouldnt help him

A few more which weren't mentioned. - Draco Malfoy's greatest fear about the Forbidden Forest is werewolves. However, werewolves are human when there is no full moon. Do actual humans live in the Forest, or what? - Salazar Slytherin planned to get Hogwarts rid of Muggle-borns, but only them. How did he know the Basilisk that can kill anyone with its gaze, won't meet anyone he wouldn't want to hurt? - Why can't Sirius Black, one of the most talented former Hogwarts student, disguise himself after his escape from Azkaban? - Why does Barty Crouch Jr want to kill Harry after he left the maze? As a Death Eater, he should know Voldemort wants to kill Harry himself. - Why can't Voldemort and his Death Eaters, most wanted people of the Wizarding World, use any disguise upon the Ministry heist? - Tom Riddle is, according to the lore, past his second Horcrux when he asks Slughorn about the effects of multiple Horcruxes. What use is that info for him at that point? He already entered a one-way road. - Levicorpus is a non-verbal spell. It it's Snape's invention, as he claims it to be, how did the Marauders learn it to use it against Snape? - Why don't the Death Eaters capture Harry after Snape defeats him in the battle after Dumbledore's death? Snape does have a reason not to, but the others don't. - Is Nagini immortal? If not, it makes no sense why Voldemort sentences a shard of his soul to die with her. - Why is Nagini disguised as Bathilda Bagshot of all people in Godric's Hollow? Voldemort doesn't know Harry will need Bathilda's help. - Nagini's venom kills Snape within minutes, but Harry, also bitten by Nagini, survives it. Not to mention, Nagini shouldn't bite Harry, as Voldemort, who has direct control over her, wants to kill Harry himself.

A Canon lens on a Sony camera, that is magic !!

LOL did he actually said " why don't they conjure food and money?" ? and you call yourself an HP fan?

23:38 In the books it explains that after sirius found out that Peter was living with the Weasley’s (he saw the daily prophet article about the Weasley’s winning prize money and going to Egypt), he was heard muttering in his sleep “he’s at Hogwarts” over and over. Fudge thought it was in reference to Sirius wanting to kill Harry, but it’s revealed that Sirius was actually worried about Harry’s safety because he is sharing a dormitory with the man who murdered his parents. So I think that was the major driving force as to why Sirius finally decided to break out. He was only willing to risk it to save Harry

One thing i always thought of in Chamber of Secrets is that apparently Hogwarts is the only supply of mandrakes as they have to wait the entire year for their mandrakes to mature to bring back the victims of the basilisk.

For the Hogwarts express plot hole I think we could reasonably assume that students need new supplies every year before the term starts. They have to go to Diagon Alley as far as we know to get their school supplies and it’s in or around London amiright? If so then it would be a big to-do to go school shopping where we know they should and then hop on the train to get to school. Two birds with one stone kind of trip I guess?

For 6 as diagon alley is in London they still have to go there to get their school supplies. And I guess it’s not mandotory to go on the hogwarts express but more of a tradition. So if they go to diagon alley in the end of August and stays in the leaky cauldron and then they go on the Hogwarts express with all their friends it’s a nice end on their summer vacation and start of the school year.

I Love your long videos! Thank you

Good points never thought of these plot holes. With the map I heard Fred and George tried lots of word combinations and as they got closer the map would flicker signaling that they were close

Charlie’s wand was probably purchased second hand. He would have purchased a new wand when he got a job. He gave the second hand wand to Ron.

I think Fred and George figuring out the map can be explained in a simple way. First it was in a Box labeled "extremely dangerous", so naturally they were interested. From the taunting of Snape, we also know it can interact with people that are meddeling with it. So, what if, at some point of Fred and George trying to find out it's secret, it asked: "Do you solemnly swear that you are up to no good?"

This is the problem with building large worlds full of mcguffins like magic. An author's main goal is to create a series of dilemmas for the characters to resolve on their way through the main story arc. However, there can be times when a tool is introduced - like the time turner or the pensieve - that can help with one plot point, but act as a hole for a future plot point. As intuitive people, readers will remember incredibly useful things and when they are presented with a new crisis in the story, will immediately begin to think as if they were the characters in the story. What would they do considering all of the tools introduced so far. But only to see the author completely glosses over it. Sometimes authors will forget they even had those things in their story, or a clear justification exists, but just didn't translate well in the narrative.

I believe Sirius said he used Crookshanks to go to Gringotts with a note to get the gold then purchase the Firebolt.

I sometimes wonder if Charlie wasn't dead in earlier drafts of Philosopher's Stone and that's why Ron got his old wand. Alternatively, maybe Charlie has a different kind of wand now, for working with dragons. Maybe one that has an exchangeable core, so that he can switch out the heartstring to correspond with whatever kind of Dragon he's working with at the time.

In this video: HP theory spending an hour explaining how they don't know what a "plot hole" is

So you're saying hagrid mary poppined his way to the island? That's hilarious.

Regarding the fourth theory with the Marauders Map: I think Lupin would have known Hermione owned a Time Turner that year, since he was part of the staff. Whether he knew something larger was at hand, with the time travelling Harry and Hermione, i dont know if he would've connected the dots.

i have a feeling that the unlocking charm. is not ment to be used to much in the magical world but instead in the muggle world. because any place in the magical world thats worth using that charm on most likely has high end locks/charms on the door to prevent that first year spell.

What if the spell or ritual of receiving the dark mark "tattoo" involved some form of the unbreakable vow? If this were the case, then it would close the obvious plot hole of why Voldemort didn't use the unbreakable vow. Obviously, this solution opens a new plot hole for how could Snape become a double agent. However, I think that the manner in which Snape betrayed Voldemort would close this hole as well. Snape never directly lied to Voldemort or "actively" betrayed him. Snape had earned Voldemort's trust while he was a fully committed death eater. When he turned double agent for Dumbledore, he never lied to Voldemort. He told him the truth; just not the entirety of the truth. Remember that he told Voldemort that Dumbledore had "tried" to turn him traitor. Voldemort ordered Snape to go do it, thinking that with Snape in Dumbledore's trust, he would be able to gain secrets and useful information for him. He gave Voldemort the truth when questioned about why he couldn't reveal the location of the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. He wasn't the secret keeper and therefore couldn't give up the location. He told Voldemort the real date and time of Harry's escape from the Dursley's to the Weasley's at he beginning of The Deathly Hallows. Even though Voldemort had been given, and believed, different information from the imperioused Thickenese at the ministry. Yes, Snape was a true master of occlumencey. But I believe that Snape ALWAYS told Voldemort enough of the truth that when he was under the influence of Voldemort's legilimency he only had to use his occlumencey to hide the rest of the truth that he hadn't spoken out loud. Voldemort only looked into Snape's mind enough to sense the truth of what he had said, but not far enough to discover that last part that he was hiding.

At 4:50...the point about viewers using the map being able to see Animagi in their animal forms if they knew the individual was an Animagi seems to be iffy. Because Harry seen Peter Petegrew on the map when Petegrew was running around the school halls as Scabbers despite Harry only really knowing that Petegrew knew his parents and that he was presumably killed by Sirius Black. But, IF that is the case, it would make sense as to why Fred and George never seen that Ron was always hanging out with someone named "Peter Petegrew" whenever Scabbers was with him.

The prophecy specifically says one can not live while the other survives, and in the end the two would have to battle for survival. It makes sense that only Tom can kill that part of his soul in Harry. The basilisk fang would not work on him. The prophecy is very clear.

It's most likely that Hagrid probably had troubles with the motorcycle, and needed to get some food for Harry, then have to wait until dark to be able to travel.

49:40 I choose to believe that the same descendant who worked on the plumbing purposefully made them oversized, or spelled them to always allow the basilisk to move in them.

I think Ron’s wand is actually pretty easily explained. If you remember, when the Weasleys were given the title of Prefect they received a gift that they desired. For Percy it was an Owl, for Ron it was the Cleansweep 11- and while it is unconfirmed whether or not Charlie became a Prefect at Hogwarts, Ron did mention he was Quidditch Team Captain- which grants access to many similar privileges as Prefects. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to assume that Charlie’s wand was most likely a hand-me-down as well, and he probably requested a wand of his own. Also, if you think about it, Ron never really was seen as a skilled Wizard in terms of spell casting until well after The Prisoner of Azkaban- which is when he received his replacement wand. In Chamber of Secrets and Philosopher’s Stone he has trouble casting simple spells and charms like Wingardium Leviosa, or turning Scabbers yellow. Not exactly a plot hole when you think of it.

The Marauder's Map: It was in Filch's office, which makes it highly likely it's contraband, as that seems to be Filch's job. As to how they figured out the password: In the books, we see the blank map briefly confiscated by Snape who tries to make it reveal its secrets, and it instead insults him. So it can do more than be a map, and I figure that Fred and George likely just poked at it for a bit until they got a response, then joked back and forth with the imprints of the Marauders' personalities, and then eventually hit on the right phrase. Harry contacting Sirius - He does try to contact him. Owl post is too slow, and the Floo network at Hogwarts is being monitored by the ministry, apart from Umbridge's personal floo. Harry tries to break into her office while she's distracted, and tries to contact Sirius, but instead finds Kreacher who lies to him about Sirius' whereabouts. When he is then caught, he informs Snape, who *does* tell the order what happened, but couldn't let on to Harry that he was on his side, or that he even knew what Harry meant when he yelled out "They have Padfoot at the place where it's kept!" The one other thing that they have, the two-way mirror Sirius gave him at Christmas, Harry had previously vowed to never use so that Sirius wouldn't do something stupid and get captured, and in the heat of the moment after getting caught in Umbridge's office, he just forgot it existed. As for how it could be forgotten, Sirius took Harry to the side and handed it to him in private, after which Harry promptly puts it into his trunk under other things and intentionally forgets about it for the above reasons. Nobody else knew that Harry had the mirror aside from *maybe* Remus, and he wasn't in a position to remind Harry about it at the time. Nobody in his friend group was aware of it.

How is Harry a half blood if both his parents were magically inclined?

40:48, The most clear explanation is: Dumbledore says that after discussion, he and Nicolas Flamel decided that it was best to destroy the stone. Flamel probably wanted to keep the stone around to be able to continue living, but after learning that Voldemort tried to use it to get back, he sacrificed his life to stop Voldemort.

#8 - The wand Ron has through CoS was "Charlie's old wand" in the sense that Charlie used it before he did, but it wasn't actually a wand that Charlie bought from Ollivander; rather, it was a wand that came from another Weasley ancestor that was given to Charlie so that the family could save money; Either after graduating or at some point during school, he saved up the galleons to go buy a wand directly. Since playing Hogwarts Legacy, I like to think that that wand originally belonged to Matilda Weasley.

One Sirius/Hagrid issue that always bugged me was the fact that Hagrid was even there at the Potter house so soon after the attack. Plus, if Sirius had really betrayed the Potters he could have killed Hagrid and then finish off Harry.

thinking about the unbreakable vow, it would seem to me that a person could only enter in to one at a time. imagine a double agent that made dual unbreakable vows-they would conflict rather rapidly and kill the vow keeper

My favorite explanation for the Hogwarts Express question is that Platform Nine-and-three-quarters isn't really physically located at King's Cross, but is instead a pocket universe that can be accessed from any train station in the UK.

It is, as far as I remeber, never said in the books, that Colin´s camera is a muggle-camera. But even if so, it is said, that muggle tech like electricity does not funktion at Hogwarts...but a camera like the one Colin uses is simple chemistry.

For how the Basilisk got around the school using the pipes: Perhaps the pipes are meant to fit the need of whatever is passing through it. You can't tell me neither Fred and George or The Marauders wouldn't have thought it extremely funny to engorge a bm to make filch clean it with out magic

Polyjuice potion is supposed to be insanely difficult to brew, which is why everyone is shocked that hermione did it at age 12.

Is a person allowed to be under multiple unbreakable vows at the same time? What happens if you first vow "I will do " and then you make another vow with another person "I will do "

Okay so about the HBP text book, there's a simple explanation. All students (so far as the author has explained) know in advance the textbooks they need to buy. So there is probably a very rare instance in which a student needs to borrow one. Snape the former potions master probably put his copy in the stack of school copies simply to store it never thinking a student would happen upon it since 1 he taught the class and would recognize if someone had picked it up and 2 he thought he would never teach another subject. However, he got the DADA post and promptly changed his classroom without having given any thought to his old textbook, because it would be on Slugnorn to make sure the Advanced Potions student were sorted out

Why tf would they make someone who cant do magic be the janitor? Any time he complains about cleaning up after students i think how anyone in that castle could clean that mess in 2 seconds. As a matter of fact im pretty sure there are enchanted cleaning tools in these books which just do the cleaning themselves. The entire reason they keep magic a secret from the normal world is nonsense. Who cares if humans would rely on wizards. THEY LITERALLY HAVE ACCESS TO MAGIC.

The plot hole of Hagrid raising werewolf cubs has been explained. It’s likely that he raised the cubs of two werewolves that mated under the full moon so those cubs would be little more than more intelligent wolves.

Harry didn't "forget" about the two-way mirror. He just didn't open the package containing it until AFTER Sirius had died, so didn't even know he had that method of contacting him until it was too late. That being said, there are still a couple plot holes here. Why did Harry not open the package from his beloved godfather as soon as he got back to Hogwarts? Why did he just throw it in his trunk and forget about it? And even if you explain that, why, when Harry used Umbridge's fire to talk to Sirius about Snape's memory, did Sirius not say "just use the mirror to contact me, it's safer"? EVERYONE apparently forgot about the mirror, not just Harry.

About the broken wands: Dumbledor fixed Hagrid's wand with the elder wand, then hagrid hid it in his umbrella to hide that it was fixed. Ron's wand was just briken, and didnt want to work for him to begin with due to its components, making it completely inusable. Probably also why it backfires so often, it didnt want to perform for him (or really anyone who wasnt charlie), so why would it want to when it was in pieces? It probaly took it out on people in frustration.

there are a couple of things that can be explained, like how hedwig being allowed to fly constitutes as "using magic" as far as the durselys are concerned, and how the hogwarts syllabus does in fact contain muggle education, but rowling left it out of the planner because it's not interesting enough. also the gaunts have been passing down the responsibility of feeding the basilisk for centuries.

A Very Good Video 👍🏻

for the one about charlie's wand, I totally agree. it might have made sense to have used his dead uncle's wand, or another wands passed down in the family. We know that dumbledor was buried with the elder wand, but I tihnk it is strange that wands aren't passed down more often, even if only as mementos.

I have a possible theory for why Dumbledore didn't ask myrtle. Myrtle didn't originally inhabit Hogwarts, she only went there after she was forced to desist from terrorising one of her former classmates by the ministry. So it's possible Dumbledore never knew that she was the ghost of the person who died

I feel like a Goober. I couldn't figure out how Quirrell could shake Harry's hand at the Leaky Cauldron but then be burned when he tried to grab Harry in the mirror room. I spent the weekend with the 1st book and finally realized that after Quirrell failed to steal the stone from the vault, Voldamort attached to his head. Which explains the turbin thought/comment on the 1st night in the great hall. 😂

17:09 the portraits was explained too. The headmasters would get a portrait made before their death. They would spend time with it and imprint themselves onto it

I think the thing about Volde using the unbreakable vow comes down to his arrogance and cruelty. He's arrogant enough to believe no one can fool him, he'll find out all faithlessness due to his power. He can't fathom someone being able to fool him. But in his cruelty, I think if he does catch someone, he'd much rather torture and kill them himself than let a binding spell do it.

I thought of two, in Harry’s 3rd year it says he checked his watch as he was going to his next class. That’s muggle tech, unless it’s a wizards watch, but it wasn’t worded that way, and he didn’t get a wizards watch until the 7th book. And second, in Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban, Harry’s future self saves him from dying from dementors. But how did the original Harry ever get to go back in time in the first place, since he would have been dead the first time around. He couldn’t have survived to go back again, if that makes sense

After the trip to Diagon Alley, Hary returned to the Dursleys alone to spend the rest of the summer holidays with them. This means that Harry had to row the boat back over to the island on his own.

So I have a theory as to why Harry could have gotten away with using Lumos. It is not unlikely that Hogwarts gave students homework that needed to be done over the summer break, also it wouldn't be too difficult to take the list of spells and things these students were allowed and supposed to be working on and provide it to the ministry so when the spell in question is detected it is exempted from the rule as it would be known to be required homework.

My opinion on the unbreakable vow not being used by Voldemort, people tend to forget the vow works two ways. He would've had to make a vow to them as well to be loyal to them, and he was not about to be loyal to anybody but himself.

In the Chamber of Secrets section on Ron’s wand: I like to think that his wand didn’t work because it’s Charlie’s wand. It does still work but just not the same. “The wand chooses the wizard” after all. I will say that (at least in the movies) Ron successfully uses nonverbal magic against Malfoy with the slugs. Maybe if his wand wasn’t broken he would’ve been successful. I like that some wands can be temperamental like that

On the Voldemore not using the Unbreakable Vow bit, I think it's because Voldemort knew that it usually required both parties to offer or agree to something in turn, thus, Voldemort would have seen it as a form of shackles that could also kill (not sure if the consequences of breaking the Unbreakable Vow follow the same rules as direct attemps at killing him in regards to his Horcruxes, of which he is otherwise immune so long as even one Horcrux remains) or severely maim him if he failed to fulfill his end of the bargain. Moreover, Voldemort HATED being indebted to anyone, and he certainly didn't have any feelings of loyalty or true comraderie with his followers, who were expected to be loyal to him but whom he would have no problem killing if they failed him or even simply on a whim. This, I believe, is the reason Voldemort never used the Unbreakable Vow on his followers.

The reason Sirius escaped when he saw Peter is because he knew he was at Hogwarts with Harry and he didn't want Peter giving him over to Voldemort. As far as why he didn't escape sooner, he was probably depressed that one of his friends was responsible for killing 2 other friends

Colin's camera isn't digital. It uses more chemistry then technology.

I think a legit reason Voldemort wouldn't do the unbreakable vow with his followers is literally in the description of the spell - you immediately die if you break it. That is the only thing he was trying to avoid at any cost. He wouldn't put himself at risk of that, let alone due to any of his peon followers. He's a narcissist and would never entrust his life to those people (getting Wormtail's help to revive doesn't count since he never planned on dying that night he went to kill Harry. And as we saw he went to like literally everyone else before resorting to Wormtail in Book 4).

Ron got Charlie's wand, but Charlie also got that wand from someone else (maybe a deceased family member), when he graduated he or his parents bough him a new wand that actually fitted him

If I remember correctly, the Philosopher's stone was not immediately destroyed because that also means its creator Nicolas Flamel would then finally die, and only in the end after the events with Quirrel happened did Dumbledore and Flamel have a talk about destroying it.

Charlie's wand: In the very first book, Ron's wand is described as being badly worn. It is entirely possible that Charlie's wand was second-hand to begin with. As soon as Charlie had the means to buy his own wand, he did and passed the now third-hand wand down to Ron when he received his Hogwarts letter. Why didn't Voldemort use the Unbreakable Vow?: That should be obvious. This binds both parties to the vow on penalty of death. Voldemort would never even consider doing something that would put his own life in peril. He would consider himself above ever keeping his word to his followers. The fates of Regulus Black and Barty Crouch JR. clearly show us how much he values the lives of his most faithful followers. Hagrid famously used a broken wand: Really? Did you ever see it in the movies? Was it ever described as being broken in any of the books? No. A broken wand does not work. Neither Ron's broken wand in "The Chamber of Secrets" nor Harry's wand in "The Deathly hallows" are able to cast even the most basic spells. If Hagrid's wand was ever broken in the first place, either Dumbledore repaired it using the Elder wand or Hagrid got a replacement. In either case, it was subsequently concealed within the pink umbrella and we never see the actual wand. As for things you saw in the films and the play: non-cannon. The only flying wizards in the books were Voldemort and Snape. Harry used a flashlight, not his wand, to do his homework. Tha'That's just two examples. As for the play? I've seen better fan-fics than that POS.

I always imagined that there are many levels to the unlocking charm to learn as some locks in the wizarding world could have been more complicated or have more complicated locking enchantments placed upon them as where in the muggle world they are just normal locks

As for how Petunia, Vernom and Dudly got out of the island i thought they were rescued by a passing boat, or the owner of the boat Vernom rented came to see them, how are they, after the storm that night

12:37 I feel like the flip side to this Is confusing because why do they teach first years the unlocking charm I’m pretty sure it’s called the thief’s friend for a reason

Haggis’s wand was repaired by Dumbledore with the elder wand. It’s the same way Harry repairs his phoenix feather wand with the elder wand, but Albus was trying to hide it so that Hagrid could skirt by with it and also so it wouldn’t be obvious that he was extremely overpowered and had the elder wand

What would Voldamot do with his extra long life if he had killed Harry?

5:51 #6 personally I would enjoy the trip on the HE it’s beautiful country and it’s also a time where you’re able to enjoy snacks and good company while passing through beautiful country so it’s not necessarily a bad thing to me. That’s just a personal opinion and I do understand why you would question that but I do think I’d enjoy a longer trip on the HE before arriving at school. Skål 🍻

#9 Is SO obvious. The whole entire point of HBP, is Harry's (and the reader's) misunderstanding of Snape's character. Even more than Ron and Hermoine, Snape is one of the people in the entire world with whom Harry has the most in common. Snape had to use a school-issue textbook, because he was raised by muggles. It wasn't Snape's actual book. It always belonged to the school. He just had to use it, and defaced it.

the stone wasn't destroyed because his friend nicholas flamel would die i think. in the end dumbledore tells harry "don't worry, he has enough potion to get his things done" or something

Only like 5 in and I'm pulling my hair out. Snape even says in the movies Dumbledore was 100 percent just raising Harry for the slaughter

The reason for dobby help Harry is explained thoroughly in both book and movie

Why do we have locks in the muggle world when anyone can learn to open a lock by watching a youtube video? Pretty sure Wizards like the security theatre they provide, same as we do.

With Unbreakable Vow I figure there must be something more involved than just the case of death if fail to uphold. Personal headcanon to make it make sense is that a portion of the participants' magical power is permanently "locked" (at least until such time as the vow is fulfilled to a point it no longer applies) - with the locked portion of their power being what maintains the vow. Thus, people would be reluctant to use the vow if not essential as it would actually weaken them. Voldemort especially would never give up any of his power when his own methods seemed sufficient to himself - and doubly especially would never do so multiple times (once per Deatheater/core member).

In Deathly Hallows it's explained to Harry that Shell Cottage is protected by the Fidelius Charm with Bill as secret keeper. It's implied that the Order of the Phoenix have been using the charm to keep themselves hidden for a while. (Possibly around the xmas hols when Ginny was pulled out of school, or at the start of term after Luna was kidnapped, or even before then.) But at Malfoy Manor Ron was able to tell Dobby, Harry, Luna, Dean, and Olivander about the place.

I'd say that since Barty Jr. in the guise of Moody was the one who had set up the Triwizard Cup inside the maze might've been the one who did the double enchantment on it, so that it would transport the "Pre-destined" winner to the Little Hangleton Graveyard, before the final destination back to the begging of the maze at Hogwarts.

15:17 actually in the books Hermione makes Harry check for sure that Sirius isn’t at Grimmauld place. They sneak into Umbridge’s office to use the fireplace (floo network). He only put his head in the fireplace, so his body stayed at Hogwarts. And when he gets to Grimmauld place, he’s met with Kreacher the house elf who LIES and tells Harry that Sirius left the house (something he wasn’t supposed to do because he was in hiding).

At the time Harry was in the chamber, his parents have been dead for 11 years and 7 months, so that would round to 12 years.

It maybe most likely that when Hagrid had come to collect Baby Harry and to the point in which Sirius had given his magic motorcycle may have taken place before Sirius had gone to hunt for Peter Pettigrew; the celebration of Voldemort's apparent first death was the calm before a new and brief storm and just after Hagrid collected Baby Harry and just as they were flying over Bristol was also around the time Dumbledore arrives to Privet Drive.

Regarding the werewolves - if parents mate while they are in their wolf forms, the babies are wolves. More intelligent than regular wolves, but just cubs - so yeah, he kept some doggies under the bed :))

About plot hole 10, Voldemort was scared to come to the ministry, he needed Harry to come because prophecies can be retrieved only by those about whom they are made. As for why he came even after the prophecy got destroyed, I don't know if there is any particular reason behind it or just another chance to kill Harry that lured him there.

Neville and Dementors: Neville very well may have not been there at the time, he could have been away with his grandmother.

I hate the concept and logic of portkeys. The idea that there are these windows and time sheets where they work simply just overcomplicates the living hell out of it. The way I see it and will continue to see it is the someone places a sort of waypoint beacon down in one spot, travels to another spot and places another waypoint beacon down, and then uses an object to magically link the two. In the case of the maze, I think that it had that same spell on it originally, but had another temporary portkey spell placed overtop of it by crouch jr, so that when they initially got transported to the graveyard, that temporary spell broke leaving the original portkey spell left, which is what then allows harry to go back to the start of the maze. To me this makes so much more sense and doesn't overcomplicate anything.

I always thought Mrs Weasley was testing both Jenny and Ron as to what the platform number was. As well as maybe helping any other people that were having problems locating the platform.

What if the unbreakable vow requires both involved parties to possess complete souls to work properly?
