How James Potter Got the Invisibility Cloak

How James Potter Got the Invisibility Cloak - Harry Potter Explained

Hey everyone,
Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In today’s video, we’re going to be discussing James Potter, the Potter family ancestry and one of the Deathly Hallows. More specifically- we’re going to be discussing ONE hallow in particular- the invisibility cloak.
Now, the invisibility cloak, if you were previously unaware- is a powerful magical artefact that once belonged to Ignotus Peverell- the youngest brother from the ‘tale of three brothers’- a story outlining the origin of each Hallow.
The plot surrounds the three wizard brothers and their ability to cheat death for a short period of time. After conquering death, a personification of death, under the guise of congratulating them, awards them with 3 gifts: The elder wand, the resurrection stone, and the invisibility cloak. Long story short, each brother chose one of the gifts that death had presented them. Ignotus (the youngest) chose the invisibility cloak, Cadmus (the middle brother) chose the resurrection stone, and Antioch (the eldest) chose the elder wand.
The youngest brother was certainly the wisest of the bunch:
“And then Death asked the third and youngest brother what he would like. The youngest brother was the humblest and also the wisest of the brothers, and he did not trust Death. So he asked for something that would enable him to go forth from that place without being followed by Death. And death, most unwillingly, handed over his own Cloak of Invisibility.”
All 3 of these objects are massively instrumental in the Harry Potter story- and while the elder wand is a huge plot driver, the invisibility cloak definitely ended up being the most useful hallow for Harry- which is interesting, because it was handed down to him by his father. After James’s death, it was kept safe until Harry was old enough to appreciate it. Dumbledore anonymously gifted the cloak to Harry in the Philosopher’s Stone.
So...The cloak was handed down from James Potter to Harry- but how did James get ahold of it?
Watch the video for the answer!

I'm not a Potter fan but I have to admit I love the story of three brothers because like Lord of the Rings or Game of thrones or Stephen King everything AND everyone has a very detailed history - like our own real world. But why the other two trusted death is odd. Maybe it's vanity and arrogance? Say what you like about Harry Potter as a whole - there is no denying that it IS rewarding to the reader and some concepts are just wonderful. Peace and love to you all.

The stone brings back just a shade of the original person, a "half life". That's why the brother commits suicide. This isnt a "raise Lazarus" event. Only God can do that...no magic would ever be able to more than some imaginary semblance of life. Even Ghosts in Harry Potter is no more than some magical leavings that linger; ghosts do not grow emotionally, but are locked into that moment of death, even as they interact with different people.

I have a theory. I think that the story of the 3 brothers was a curse on the family line. For every family member of the original brothers, as long as they had the cloak, they would avoid death. Not avoid it as in becoming immortal but of avoiding a sooner death. So as long as the family had the cloak, they would be protected from death; so when the parents pass the cloak down, they are no longer protected as strongly by the presence of the cloak. Also, if the cloak is not within the possession of the family, they will die as seen by James and Lily. Because James had lent Dumbledore the cloak, they were exposed to death, and soon after, it followed them and it would've gotten Harry if it weren't for Lily's love.

@Marcustheseer Жыл бұрын

for a large part youre story makes sense where it doesnt make sense is how harry avoided death and voldemorts spell backfired when they were not protected by the cloak,what i think is this death says i am owed a death for a death so he took lilly in exchange for harry and he took james in exchange for voldemort.

One of the biggest plot holes or I guess tragedies of the story (depending on how you look at it) occurs when you ask the question "Wouldn't Dumbledore or James have known how useful the cloak might have been/essential to hiding the Potters? Why wouldn't they take no chances when it was known by everyone that they were marked for death?". I mean, It's supposed to protect one from even death himself, which is why Ignotus survived to old age.

Because even if they hid using the cloak, that would mean neville would have been the one who lived. Voldemort heard about the prophecy, that one of the two boys would be the one who will stop him. So in his desperation he tried to kill those two boys. He started with harry, which in return created the boy who will later destroy him. A selffulfilling prophecy no matter what.

He could not. The resurrection stone was out of his reach for years. He didn't know where to find it. He gave Harry the cloak before he had found the stone and stored it in the snitch. He also knew that his time was up, so he gave away the stone too. There is a video that explains really good that Dumbledores greed for the Hallows was immense and that he gave away the cloak, because knew at that time that Harry would have to die either way, because of the prophecy.

My greatest question surrounding this cloak is its imperviousness to curses and spells. In the movies Harry sneaks into Malfoy's train car to spy on him. Malfoy senses his presence and casts a curse his way which causes Harry to pass out, missing the de-boarding of the train. I don't remember how this scene went down in the books. Luna then found Harry and woke him up. This seems inconsistent with the premise of the story of the cloak.

Point of clarification; The Peverell brothers didn't choose from three specific rewards, as the video implied. They make 3 different wishes and are granted an artifact that would accomplish the goal. The two elder brothers make more arrogant demands that death cunningly made to backfire on them. Ignotus, the youngest brother wished for something that can evade death specifically. Of course, that's the _legend,_ but as Dumbledore suggests, it's almost certain that the brothers were actually gifted (and perhaps a bit dangerous-minded) crafters of magical tools, and these three artifacts are the result. Mind, what are the odds of a single family producing three sons that are all clever enough to make magical tools that no one was able to replicate in the hundreds of years following their deaths? It's a curiosity. I wonder if there was an additional factor at play, like the family stumbling across a secret book of knowledge or something, and they each focused on using it to make different items. That sort of head-canon makes some sense. Actually, aren't two of the items supposed to use Thestral materials on their creation (wand = hair. Cloak = blood.)? Can't remember if that's canon or fanon though. I wonder if they collectively found a secret to utilizing thestral materials in crafting, found it had unique properties for the creation of magical tools, and just took the secret to their collective graves.

This just makes the story of Lilly and James' death even more sad. James was clearly prepared to sacrifice himself for his wife and child and could have easily handed the cloak down to Harry before doing so, allowing Lilly to use it to hide with Harry and escape back to the rest of the order, but they both knew that if Voldemort did find them they needed to die for the spell to take effect when Voldemort attempted to kill Harry, so James handed the cloak to Dumbledore so that he could ensure that it was handed down to his son. If they'd used the invisibility cloak they would have only delayed Voldemort in finding Harry, and countless people would have been murdered before he inevitably did so.

@withclar627 2 жыл бұрын

In fact, James handed the cloak to Dumbeldore because he asked to, Dumbledore was amazed and wanted to do some researches on it. When James died, Albus still had the cloak with him and passed it to Harry when he was old enough. There was no planning, the Potters did not plan their sacrifice for harry to acquire that protection, James wanted to fight Voldy but he forgot his wand and therefor was easily killed, Lily begged Voldy to not kill her son, and he actually did not plan to kill her at first, he just wanted Harry. When Lilly did not obey him, Voldemort killed Lilly too and that's when her love started protecting harry, she sacrificed her life for him to survive. It is known that love is a powerful form of magic is the wizarding world.

One thing that bothered me regarding this invisibility cloak. Given the fact that Harry's invisibility cloak was given by the Death, it should have been something rare (or even one-and-only). We know there was only one Elder Wand and there was only one Resurrection Stone (CMIIW). However, we know there were more than one invisibility cloak. Moody had it, we know it from book 5 when Sturgis Podmore borrowed it when he was guarding the door to the prophecy. We also know from book 4 when Harry asked Moody (Barty Crouch jr.) if he saw Rita Skeeter wearing invisibility cloak during Task 2. So, what's the difference between these invisibility cloaks than the Deathly Hallows' invisibility cloak? I'd love to hear what you think! 😊

How does the invisibility cloak know what to make invisible? For example, when Harry was wearing it and his leg got trapped in the trick stair, he was invisible, while the stairs around him were not.

Moody's magic eye saw him there. Dementors can't be fooled by tricks, disguises, and invisibility cloak.... said Prof Dumbledore (Prisoner of Azkaban) after the sorting of the students So magic eye and dementors can see or detect anyone under Harry's invisibility cloak.

Which houses do you think that the 3 Peverell brothers would be sorted into if they attended Hogwarts? I selected the brothers based on their values and abilities: Antioch: Slytherin (power & ambition) Cadmus: Ravenclaw (mediumship talent) or Hufflepuff(naivety) Ignotus: Gryffindor (bravery) or Ravenclaw (wise).

When the brother made himself available for death with open arms why didn't death take back the cloak? Also how does the cloak work for the younger brother? Did he have to wear it all the time? I understand how it works for everyone else except how the brother must use it. I don't believe that you made a video for this topic. I also don't believe it was ever brought up in the books of how he hid from death for so long till he chose to reveal himself. I think that it would be a great topic to go into. Cause so much was done by the books and movies on the other 2 items. Please look into this. Thank you

They did not choose each hallow, they told death what they wanted and death fashioned the hallows. Elder wand from a nearby tree, resurrection stone was a pebble on the bank of the river, and the cloak is a cutting from death's own cloak.

After I first read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I deduced large sections of what was in this upload. All the same though, it’s great having it all in one place to refer to. Only thing, didn’t Sirius Black acquaint with James’ parents before they died? This upload makes it look as though James did not inherit the invisibility cloak until after the death of his father, but that doesn’t measure up against the way he and his friends utilized it while they were at school and when Sirius hid out with James and his parents after running away from home. Did I miss something?

That’s pretty crazy. It gives a whole new theory on why the elder wand was loyal to harry. Cause it was made by death and death was an old friend of his ancestor. Or because he’s related to the original owner of the elder want. Not directly but it’s his super great uncle.

@@forfun6273 yes, but "greeted death as an old friend" doesn't necessarily mean that it was mutual. Death searched for the third brother to take him, that doesn't sound like a friend, that sounds like revenge. "Hello old friend" is a common trope in fiction used by the rival that expects to die.

This is what I have never understood. Ron seems to imply, that there are more invicibility cloaks in existance: "they're really rare, and really valuable" But if the invicibility cloak was given by death to the youngest brother, and it was inherited by his children and so on and so on, eventually making its way to Harry, how can there be more? And with the other deathly hallows, they're unique, why the invicibility cloak isn't? Shouldn't Ron be as clueless as Harry as to what the cloak is? And if there are more, at what point did those come to be, and how? Did someone figure out a way to produce it or something? If anyone knows anything about this, please do enlighten me!

With the elder wand you aren’t able to lose a fight. Since Harry wasn’t fighting he was able to die. Since Voldemort took Harry’s blood in the goblet of fire, Voldemort basically became his anchor to life, allowing him to come back after being killed

Harry wasn’t exactly ‘killed’. Since he over-powered Draco in malfoy manor, the elder wand answered to him. So, when voldemort first ‘killed’ harry, harry was still alive, and the horcrux inside him died.
