I thought the same

It is our belief here at Super Nelson Solo that this was just the set up to have Harry and Malfroy face off against each other.

me too! but after watching this theory....wow. so many things about this theory series that blew my mind.

pretty obvious

That's what I think. It's like when I was little and my father needed our phone number for something, he would always say he couldn't remember it and ask me for it.

this also could be molly helping out harry because of her own maternal instincts.

@@grector805 She (supposedly) didn't even know Harry was there though. Or even if he was another wizard.

@@grector805 -- Maybe, but it's an odd way of doing that. Molly could have just said something like, "Remember it's platform 9 3/4." The fact that she poses it as a question makes me think she's teaching Ginny.

I agree with this, I wouldn't be surprised if she did this with every child, so they always know that 9 3/4 is the platform number

😊😊

Sound like snape

Love that for Snape 😂

OBviousssly...

My attempt to write what Snape sounds like

That’s amazing!! ❤

Yeah because in the book , Neville was with the trio when they 1st came into knowing about fluffy and the trap door

Ohmigosh! I never thought of that! Thank you.

I was thinking this too!! The plant at the bottom after Fluffy reminded me of Neville because of how his love of plants and herbology bloomed at the end. Made me think Dumbledore already figured this out at the beginning.

In the book, Harry instructs Neville to kill Nagini in case something happened to Harry. He stated "there would still be three of them."

This kinda does happen at the end. Neville is Harry’s backup plan when he walks to his death. It didn’t happen like Dumbledore thought it would, but they got there in the end.

Nah you are simply wrong bro dumbledore wouldve known that neville was way too big of a nerd to hang out with the trio

Thanks for the guide !

thats what this video literally is...

​@@aidenchmuraYou need to understand the meaning of "literally" because this video is literally theories.

Wow. The web in the books are amazing

I think that's why Harry had a choice to come back to life. It says he who owns all three hallows is the "master of death". He owned the cloak. Owned the wand, even though unknowingly, and owned the stone.

wow...never noticed, that is amazing.

No. More like harry, owner of the cloak accepts death as an old friend. Snape, longing for a dead love commits suicided by working with the enemy, and Voldemort dies with the elder wand and a false source of ego.

Yeah because he uses the deathly hallows...

Was just about to mention this.

I believe what he meant is that he sent them to Egypt to ensure Harry stay with the dursleys to enforce the blood bond no matter what and regardless of Sirius since as you mentioned he scapes after.

^ it only matters for Harry to go back to the Dursleys for a bit though to call it home and keep the blood protection alive, in most other years Harry goes and stays with the Weasleys for some time in the summer. I think the argument they tried to make was that here it would be best that Harry didn’t leave the Dursleys at all with Sirius Black on the loose, but he didn’t actually escape from Azkaban until he sees Peter in the photo of the Weasleys in Egypt

And Moody. Sure he was kidnapped and replaced by Barty Crouch jr. but Dumbledore didn't know that at the time.

@@zimonzieclown1633 That's true. Maybe Moody volunteered for the position? He wasn't afraid of Deatheaters and had faced curses before. I think either he or Dumbledore must have decided that he was the best choice for a dangerous job.

@@BadFiendWell, Moody and Dumbledore were old friends, so it's my belief that Dumbledore asked Moody and he accepted as a favour or something like that.

Yeah, I thought the same thing about her asking the platform number. It's like asking your kids to repeat back something to make sure they know it and are paying attention. Especially considering Ginny's the one who answers

Well, not really to Remus Lupin. Yes he turned into a werewolf, but that's his normal condition. It was someone else who let his secret identity as a werewolf slip out (I figure Snape). He just packed up and left and went underground till book six.

@@ginnyjollykidd You're right, but 3/4 either dead or permanently disabled is still pretty good odds that something will go bad for her.

They've been like 35 years with the DADA teachers only lasting one year.

The position was cursed by Voldemort when dumbledore refused to hire him. Look it up fr

@@jaycarbray836 Spot on

I hate how he breaks it without even fixing his own wand first in the movies

In the movie, right after that, Harry says, "after that, the dementors can have you." That is a movie thing so I guess take that with a grain of salt.

Harry didnt believe in killing to make a point The only way to prevent Voldemort from rising to power, is to kill him. But 6+ years are spent trying to stop him, just stop him. The Wormtail scene is out of character even by movie standard

You sir, are a legend

This should be pinned

@@tekbox7909 I think that depends on the artistic choice of the SCB. Maybe they really want it to be experienced in one go. They could have put it in the description to create "chapters" like other videos have.

This is very helpful.

THANKS YOU

Your grammar is terrible

I second this.

@@JoSangano They did it!

It is true that he gives Gryffindor house the most points because of Harry's actions, but I also find it interesting that those points made Gryffindor tied with Slytherin. And then, Dumbledore gives ten points to Neville Longbottom, and those are the points that makes Gryffindor win the House Cup. So who's the real house hero: Harry or Neville? I'm not sure the answer is clear. It could be either of them, imo.

The hat stuff is in his head actually. The films ruin that but he doesnt actually call him out in front of anyone.

Omg that would be wonderful ! These guys are so talented

These videos make me feel the same way, very comforting

Jjk

Mmmmmmm

I think its meant to imply that Voldemort was the only one to completely understand how the room works

@@aidancoleman1288 Or that Voldemort was so arrogant that he often o overlooked the obvious.

I remember that in the books it can be read somewhere that Voldemort believed himself to be the one that had discovered the most of Howgarts secrets, so maybe it was obvious that random students knew about some random places, passages and stuff, but not all of them collectively at the same time as him, like if he was the only one with a complete anthology of secrets of Hogwarts. Like "ok, some have found about 2 or 3 secrets about Howgarts, but I know 20 of them, no one else knows this much, I'm the greatest wizard", it was that arrogance that ultimately condemned him.

I mean the room could have created all those things. It creates stuff out of thin air through out the books. Maybe Voldemort didn't know the difference between created things and real things

he was pretty arrogant, he thought he was special and had something other normal wizards couldn't discover/use correctly.

Yess this would be a great video

Unless I’m mistaken, the sorting hat wanted to put him in slytherin until harry protested. Otherwise he would have been in there

I finally came up with an answer! It's a weird one, and my actual headcanon is JK intended what the brothers said and also failed to realize the problem, but in universe: Dumbledore has a Time Turner, or at least access to one. Time travel in HP seems to be a closed loop (like in GoT: "The past is written. The ink is dry."). The whole Weasleys travelling to Egypt nonsense happens, leading Sirius to escape. Dumbledore learns of the escape almost immediately and comes up with the plan described in the video, going back in time to do it. Sirius always escapes - because Dumbledore always protects Harry, even if it means going back in time.

@@JustFlemishMe im down to believe that tbh

@@JustFlemishMe the time turning is when the plot gets really tricky to follow. This is an impressive explanation and it would make sense IMO

@@aidenchmura Thanks! I tried my best :)

Thank you for timing every part of Dumbledores plan. I really appreciate it

@@BeenyBoii no problem

Thank u so much tho

Thanks so much man

How?!

I mean his parents got murdered by a muggle-hater who was special. It would be quite hypocritical for Harry to become one too

@@cei5140 Why? Harry never knew his parents, but he had to endure the Dursley's hostility 24/7 since he was a baby and never had any muggle friends. He could become a muggle-hater and still be opposed to Voldemort, because he'd hate him out of personal reasons rather than ideological ones. People can be nazis and hate other nazis.

@@shiroamakusa8075 I see ur point, however having magical powers almost makes u god like in comparison to muggles. Like it's easy for humans to torture animals, yet most people choose not to

@@cei5140 Actually, it's NOT easy for humans to outright torture animals. Those who do tend to have some sort of disorder or suffered from extremely bad parenting. Most people don't actively "choose" to not torture animals, the thought doesn't enter their minds in the first place. Likewise wizards treating muggles with contempt and condescension is not a "natural" occurence, it's a result of toxic attitudes being carefully nurtured.

@@yoketah "Wow, a kitten! Should I kick it and strangle it to death with my bare hands? Nah, not feeling it today. The next puppy's toast however."

But her kids are 9, 11, 13, and 15, if I recall the younger Weasleys’ ages correctly. Plus the younger kids will have been seeing their other brothers off to school a long time before that. Ginny will have gone with her parents who knows how many times to wave her siblings off, so she has this committed to heart and doesn’t need the reminder. And who knows how many times will the platform have been mentioned in various conversations at home as well. Those kids know the platform number. It was definitely for Harry’s benefit.

@@spanglelime the fact she's gone to the platform doesn't necessarily mean she's memorized it. I was taken a lot of places when I was young, but that didn't mean I always knew how to get there on my own. Since Ginny hadn't gone to Hogwarts yet, it's not guaranteed she's going to remember. 🤷‍♀️ I think, in reality, we're thinking way more about this line than JK did when she wrote it. Lol.

@@spanglelime byou

@@veranohall3008 LOL I think we are, indeed, overthinking this 😄

@@veranohall3008 Also, the twins might have joked about the number enough to cause doubt that her youngest two still remember, particularly Ginny.

Lol like me with Lego mocs

Sameeee

That’s how I felt with the “What If Harry Potter Was Sorted Into Slytherin” series

@@collinfiore yeah same. I really want them to do another one. “What if Neville was the chosen one?” would be a good option.

@@MaxTurnbull23 or what if the sorting hat was made into a horcrux, that could probably be it's own video lol

Thanks for pointing that out!! Was too getting doubts about that part in the video !!

Was going to say the same, checking to make sure it wasn't already said.

I actually do not understand why Sirius seeks to find Potter first and also does it in a way that will definitely scare him. Also I do not understand, if Lupin was in OoP, why they did not disscussed the innocence of Sirius inside the Orden? Also, if D knows how dangerous Sirius is, why does he let Potter roam free (he knows that Harry has the map after Sirius saw him in the hall)? He definately understands that Hermione used time-travel since the bird was not in the place, so he must realise that he is missing out smth important from that point.

@@oleksandrkuznyetsov8324 It's because Harry is all he has left from his beloved friend. not a very wise thing to do, but do you expect somebody who just got tortured by dementors for several years to make a wise decision?

@@oleksandrkuznyetsov8324 Because Lupin sincerely beleived that Sirius was guilty. Right until the very moment he spotted Wormtail on the map. Sirius wanted to see Harry because he was emotionally attached to Potters in general. Also he wasn't the most reasonable person.

An Undetectable Extension Charm. Same thought

No it was about him seeing his family I mean think about it the most common "deepest desires of the heart" are fame & wealth so not many people would see their family

Dumbledore be like: Eat the Slytherins.

The Gryffindor in Dumbledore wanted to watch the Slytherin die

But so are the hufflepuffs!

@@Rose13 no, they’re on the ground floor

Oh yess

Unfortunately memory modification is a thing that exists in WW, so it really wouldn't have been all that convincing. Same sorts of reasons that Verita Serum wouldn't have helped, either

sirius is still an unregistered animagi which is illegal

​@@blak4831 i mean, even if they did use the method for proving voldemorts return, or trying to clear sirius's name, well Sirius is still an unregistered animagi, which is illegal

The problem is not only can memory be modified, but if someone is say, insane, their memory would be unreliable as it would only show what the person believes happened

^^^^^ Memory altercation, plus the human element You dont have to "be insane" to see something that wasent there, or not knowing exactly how something happened and filling in the gaps logically So if Harry was "told" the man who killed Sedrick was Voldemort, who could disprove it? Everyone ether thinks hes dead, or is following him. So who knows what he looks like Also being a horrifying experience, someone can argue his memory is flawed to begin with. The emotional damage would fester as a childhood memory, and Harry may or may not have a previous encounter with said dark lord

it's not just a theory, it's what actually happens in the books

It is actually Philosophers Stone (Book 1), not Chamber of Secrets that you are thinking of. And I completely agree with you, it's quite hilarious to see considering Ron also comments that it is locked and they can't get in right before Hermoine casts the unlocking spell.

sorry about this but its not chamber of secrets and it's Alohomora*

​@@Roland_Deschain677 Harry was the one who said it was locked not Ron

I thought that too!

Who was the real dark lord? 😂 Voldemort wanted to be a lord, but Dumbledoor already has the elder wand, and had access to the cloak and stone. And let Voldemort come to power unchecked, then played chess with him Sorry guys, im just glad the conflict got both of them 😂👏 Dumbledoor lived long enough to die the hero

@@donovanulrich348 he had the elder wand, yes back from Grindelwald in the mid 40s he didn't get the cloak until the 80s and the stone until late 90s. I think also he's one of those that takes Sun Tzu's proverb to heart. I think it goes something like (if you know your enemy and know yourself you need not fear the outcome of a hundred battles, if you know the enemy but not yourself you will lose about half of the time, if you know neither the enemy nor yourself you will lose every battle.) Never having seen Fantastic Beasts I'm only going on what was said in the original series. He knew himself by grindelwald's defeat but he was still trying to learn his enemy even in book 6.

Exactly. A master chess master.

The saving intent Harry had for all his friends and school definitely would have played into it. But, I think there was more than that when Harry was brought to Number 4 Privet Drive. The protection Harry had there was a spell placed on the house because of Harry's blood tie with Aunt Petunia that would break when he would stop calling it home (ill-feelings about it notwithstanding). This is not the same as Harry's mother's courageous defiance of Voldemort and her death conferring love protection on Harry. I think Dumbledore created the spell at Privet Drive using the power of the blood connection between Harry, Petunia, and Lily.

Yes that exactly explained why Dumbledore, let the dementors in , To set them up as his prime fear then teaching via bogart how to counter them because he knew they would be voldemort's go to creatures in the war

@@siddharthsharma9283 No, he let them on the grounds of Hogwarts because he, like everyone else, thought that Sirius posed a great risk to Harry's life. He didn't even really want them there to begin with.

Harry kinda knew despair before

Sounds kinda risky, if the Dementors just entered another compartment there wouldnt have been Lupin who stopped it from turning students into vegetable

@@elite1361 the reason the demortors came for Harry in the first place is becuase a price of voldimorts sole was in Harry in his scar

Was looking for this comment!

Then we have a spin off: what if Harry was in the wizarding world + in Slytherin.

YES

Easiest way I see that happening is if sirous doesn't go to azabakan somehow and raises him at Grimaldi.

That is interesting, but I am not sure how it is going to work. Maybe if he was given as a baby to Lupin, but I am not sure how that would play out. On a somewhat related side note, Naruto from the Naruto franchise was left with no family to live with because everyone knew he carried part of the Nine Tailed Fox Kurama's spirit within him. The same fox that attacked the Hidden Leaf Village and killed many civilians. INCLUDING Naruto's parents. His father was the 4th Hokage, though Naruto didn't know about this until years later. And his mother was a powerful woman within the Uzumaki clan, who are descended from the Senju clan where the First and Second Hokage were born and raised. Maybe Harry's journey begins in a similar way. Maybe people were more aware of the idea of horcruxes but many still believed that it was a bad idea to split one's soul many times, which further taints the remainder of the soul still left in the body. But one day, some people heard a rumour about Voldemort losing to an infant and that part of his soul was transferred into Harry. So now Harry has abilities similar to Voldemort, and it has people fearing that Harry would become the next Voldemort because he had a piece of Voldemort's soul inside of him, much like how Naruto was ostricized and feared by those around him because he had a piece of the very being that destroyed the village inside of him as well. This probably goes not much of anywhere but the similarities and differences between Naruto and Harry Potter cannot be ignored. Maybe this is a good lead to see where the story could go. Like, Harry lives in the Wizarding world but is feared because he has a piece of Voldemort's soul trapped inside of him, and how the rest of the Wizarding world shuns him out of everything because of this fact.

DUh I forgot about that. I would prefer that Neville was included in the trio and Ron was NOT. Because he is so F***ing USELESS!!! I mean - asking Hermione to do his homework for him all the time - the boy is just greedy (cannot eat with his mouth closed AND grabbing all of Harrys sweets on the train) and lazy!!

@@bradleygendall583 you are correct, at least we don't see it. Maybe growing up he new he liked it but didn't have a great chance to express it. Dumbledore being Dumbledore wanted to give him a chance to be helpful if he went. It's all theory though

@@francescathomas3502 hard disagree. Your depiction sounds more like MovieRon. BookRon serves as our guide into the wizarding world, he is our connection to the Weasley family and he is on the same level as Harry education wise.

I like the idea. But I would need an amazing story not about harry. I fear this isn’t an movie one but maybe book could work

@@EdthePlumber Harry would be a supporting character and we would have a new main character. The question for picking would be who's grandchild would be the new lead?

Because the cursed child worked so well...? 😉

honestly I don’t think so.. Barty put so much in place for Harry and practically all Harry had to do was carry it through. like for example the gilliweed and the broomstick and how he avoided most of the obstacles in the maze. So I think that with the tools given he definitely won but without them or any hints like Cedric’s, no I don’t think he would have won.

That's how Dumbledore injures his hand, destroying the ring horcrux. 💍

Dumbledore didn't actually know that Voldemort created any horcruxes until the end of Chamber of Secrets. It's then that he realizes that Tom Riddle's Diary is a horcrux and he also realizes the Voldemort must have created more than one. Dumbledore doesn't know how many horcruxes Voldemort created until Harry retrieves Slughorn's memory in Half-Blood Prince.

@@lamplighter5545 Read again, I state he might have found out, if he had been actively seeking Voldmort and been researching Voldmort past.

​@@Captain-Axeman he did actively search voldemorts past. Thats how he found the lake and the ring. In Half-Blood Prince, Dumbeldore is described as being away for a long time

As far as anyone can tell, he was. Part of him being suspicious of Quell was likely from what he and the Ministry knew of Voldemorts movements. I don't know what evidence Dumbledore could have found of horcruxes, Bellatrix was in Azkaban and Lucius had connections and both were in possession of Voldemorts horcruxes before he attacked Harry, Nagini wasn't made a horcrux until after he got his body back, Regulus was dead. The only Horcrux he could have found was the ring, which he would have had to know about before searching for.

Dumbledore's speech at the end-of-term feast in fourth year said as much when he remembered Cedric and also the friendships made that year for the Tri-Wizard Tournament. In sixth year in the beginning feast, Dumbledore said that the dark forces have as their greatest weapon the students themselves. Also that happiness can be found in the darkest of places when one only remembers to turn on the light. I think that was at the beginning feast of third year. He says things like this every feast. Indeed he is addressing a hall full of transforming people as much as witches and wizards, from puberty to age of majority.

@@ginnyjollykidd Well, except for the first year. In that one, he just says weird words like "nitwit", "blubber", "oddment", and "tweak". Which I still find funny!

Well, she could have assumed that Harry was with the Dursleys. She certainly does not know at this point the amount of abuse Harry faced. But I always thought it was odd that muggleborns weren’t somehow guided… The I thought it might be because Harry is not muggleborn so he does not get the standardized introduction but instead the very simple world view of Hagrid, ensuring Dumbledores influence over him. Afterwards the guidance of the very light family of the Weasleys, in Harry’s eyes a perfect family with love and fun making Harry want to belong to this circle (instead of the cold, might driven Slytherins). Leaving Molly highly concerned about Harry (without time to ask why he was so lonely and abused, at least in the first year) helps to let the relationship grow quickly.

​@@SiuresHarry must've told the weasleys at some point about what the dursleys were like as it says in gof that Molly always refrained from criticizing them in front of Harry but her eyes flashed & she pursed her lips when Harry said he thought the dursleys had come to see him
