To really answer the flaw of the 7 potters plot hole you have to remember that Dumbledore told Snape he had to give the Death Eaters the real plan... This means no matter what the plan was it would get interrupted.

I think some people confuse plot holes with characters not making the perfect decisions, because they’re human.

Actually, the one about the death eaters' wands is a really good point. Bellatrix's wand is specifically used as identification, unless we're meant to believe she re-registered her replacement wand at Gringotts following her escape? When she was a fugitive? I don't think Charlie's wand was one that chose him, either, it probably belonged to one of Molly's brothers, but to Ron it was "Charlie's old wand".

I'd guess that Charlie's original wand was already a hand-me-down, so as soon as Charlie got a job and could afford it, he finally bought his own wand, giving the hand-me-down back to the family. Then Charlie's old wand was the one in the family pile that worked best for him.

For the polyjuice potion voice, it's easy, from a film perspective didn't do that because they wanted the audience to remember it's a disguise. As for Barty as Mad-Eye, he clearly disguised his voice willingly to maintain his cover. It doesn't need overthinking.

Sirius wasn't given a trial. He was thrown straight into Azkaban by Crouch senior.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a plot hole, but it's ridiculous that Victor Krum catches the snitch when down 160 to lose the game for his team. He could have defended the snitch from being caught by the Irish seeker or played on offense to help his team get into striking range before catching it. It would be like when a team goes empty net at the end of a hockey game. You wouldn't just give up when there's still a chance to win.

Voldemort tried to abolish the sorting system, so that was one thing he may have had the right idea about.

Why is ‘impirio’ an UNFORGIVABLE CURSE so regulated but love potions that have similar effects to it?

The thing with Rons hand-me-down wand also was the case with Neville, Neville had his fathers wand for years.

I can't remember where I heard this fan theory, but when you are sorted into a house, it's not based on your personality it's based on what you value most, e.g Neville wasn't brave but he strived to face his fears and meet his peers expectations.

1) For James & Lilly being the secret keeper. If they were their own secret keepers who would have got information to them from the order? Is this why they trusted their friends! 2) The trace doesn’t show in OFTP because the trace isn’t on Tonks so wouldn’t flag up to the ministry? Love your videos !

One plot hole that’s always interested me is how Aunt Petunia didn’t know Harry wasn’t allowed to use magic outside of school the summer between his first and second year. Lilly was a witch, so shouldn’t she know that she wasn’t allowed to use magic? I guess you could say she was so jealous of Lilly that she didn’t pay enough attention to her to notice, but it always had my mind wondering.

I think Ron and Hermione definitely used Broomsticks to get out of the Chamber of Secrets because when they met up with Harry again Ron carried one with his arm.

McGonagall told Umbridge exactly how many years she'd been teaching in Order of the Phoenix. She was put in the Fantastic Cashgrabs movies as a memberberry, and also to pretend that Dumbledore was the DADA teacher instead of Transfiguration, which was revealed in Chamber of Secrets.

I love these kind of videos! They're super interesting and it's always nice to listen to you, an expert on Harry Potter, talk about the story, the plot holes, the characters and whatever that's from the wizarding world.

With Ron and Hermione entering and exiting the Chamber of Secrets, at least in my edition of Deathly Hallows, Ron is described as having a broomstick under his arm, so there you go, not a plothole, they used the broomstick to at least exit the Chamber.

The cursed child is gonna take up 31 of all plot holes

35:03 I'd say that plot hole about the troll in the dungeon and Slytherin's common room also being in the dungeon was the most glaring plot hole in the whole series

Ben loving the HP videos! All of them! I have got so much into HP more because of this channel! Keep up the good work!

Also, with the 7 Harries plot, it was imperative for lord Voldemort to put his trust on Snape 100%. And he achieved this by giving lord Voldemort the right date the order was moving Harry.

About wands for Death Eaters - I think that other Death Eaters could easily stole some wands for them or kill enough people. Then Bellatrix and the others could easily kill more people, so the wands of those new victims accepted Death Eaters as their masters. Plus later on, they kidnapped Ollivander - and as he said, he made new wands at least for some of them.

1:08 All part of Dumbledore's Big Plan unfortunately. He has been manipulating the timeline since the 40s. The Potters had to die for plot convivence and because of the prophecy. Of course, nobody knew which boy was to be marked, and the gamble sort of paid off.

nice hearing your thoughts on these plot holes, hope you'll find some more for a second vid on them :)

for the Dennis Creevey one, I think it's just because Umbridge is stupid and only paid attention to the older students, the ones she thought might be a threat to the ministry.

17:39 they do get broomsticks from the room of requirement in the book

i never comment on videos but i just wanted to say that i love your new setup! it looks super high quality on video and it really catches my attention before you get into things.

I hope one of your next videos is a sorting of characters from Star Wars. I already thought of which House to sort them into, but I'm gonna let you do that. Thank you for such an amazing video as always.

It’s funny, the thing with truth serum is that they make a point of saying that truth serum would make even Voldemort tell the truth. If they hadn’t added that, it could have been like a lie detector test in real life, with how some people can beat it.

Considering Ron did not know that Sirius 'betrayed' the Potters or that the Longbottoms lost their minds too torture, we can assume that Molly and Arthur sheltered their children from the horrors of the war. They never heard about any of that no more than about 'Peter the tragic hero'. So if the twins ever saw him on the map, it was just some random name amongst many others to them.

1:57 Underage Wizards can't use magic outside of school due to the trace until they are 18. It's different for an adult

My favorite KZfaq channel! Thanks for educating us even more on the Wizarding world!

17:33 i recall the books saying that they had one broomstick with them when they met up with Harry after he was in Ravenclaw’s common room.

29 of these will be from the Fantastic Beasts series, I’m sure.

15:01 The Sword of Gryffindor wasn't a Horcrux. The locket that Ron, Hermione, and Harry pilfered from Umbridge was the horcrux

31:49 I see what you did there Morgan, I see what you did there 🤣🤣

for the felix felicis one, i could swear that there's some piece of info out there that if too many people drink it in a close proximity, the luck would either negate itself or cause a really bad case of bad luck. i wanna say it's somewhere in quidditch through the ages because they go over a rule about why players are forbidden to drink liquid luck, but i'm not entirely sure for the peter pettigrew one, i wouldn't be surprised of peter spent most of his time away from ron, especially at night. rats are naturally nocturnal and while peter is human, i think some rat traits started to sneak into him. so peter could've been far away from ron at night instead of "sleeping in his bed" (i don't think anywhere in the books said ron sleeps with his rat anyway). prisoner of azkaban movie kinda helps with this theory since peter was seen on the map at night, even tho this scene wasn't in the books. but we always see peter active at night anyway; i don't think he has many scenes where he's seen in the daytime.

Actually I think the book DID say they used broomsticks to get out of the Chamber of Secrets in The Deathly Hallows

I think for how Ron and Hermione got back out of the Chamber of Secrets is that they could’ve used the spell Ascendio. Harry used the spell in the Goblet of Fire when he was in the lake which propelled him upwards and out of the lake. I suppose that this spell also works outside of water which perfectly explains how they could’ve gotten out. Although, it also makes sense if they used brooms.

I do find it a bit funny that Dumbledore basically cloned himself by talking to a painting.

The reason Tonks was able to do that magic at the Dursley's is probably one of 2 reasons, either, the ministry detected the fact that there weren't any muggles around at the time, so it didn't matter, because the times harry did, there were muggles around, or, it got interfered as if it was a magical location because there were lots of wizards there so it couldn't tell who did it. Also are you a seer Morgan, because I was legit going to upload a video myself today where I debunk some Harry Potter plot holes.

For "Why could order members use magic at dursely's?", isn't it because they were adults and didn't have the trace on them while Harry was a minor and Dobby was a house elf.

6:38 don’t poly juice potions were off eventually? If so that’s probably why Sirius didn’t use them.

1:38 Maybe the Order members used foresight and did some magic near Harry's house, showing the Ministry that the magic in Harry's house could've been performed by somebody else.

To be fair, I don't count the Fantastic Beasts films as cannon. So in my ignorant bliss, those films don't exist

3:58 he also watched Quirrell die in the first book? Edit: I forgot that in the book he passed out before Quirrell actually died!

3:20 I agree. It would sort of be something like having generation loss when copying a picture and printing a copy of each copy. After so many times, the copies start to lose their detail to the point where the original picture is unrecognizable. 5:50 The problem with that is that Snape claimed to have seen Lupin running towards the willow after the Golden Trio on the map, which was accidentally left open on his desk, while entering to deliver the Wolfsbane potion. 27:00 I honestly believe that it is both a writing convenience as well as the versatility of how portkeys are created. The ones that had timers on them were made specifically for wizards to travel to the Quiddich World Cup at a specific time, sort of like a one-way flight that tries to stay punctual. Also, the Tri-Wizard Cup was specifically made to be a trap for Harry and was likely made by fake Moody to stay open as long as possible until Harry got there. As for it being two-way: it is very possible that Voldemort's intended plan was to kill Harry after being resurrected and then use the cup to apper in front of the whole crowd with all his followers around him and Harry's dead body at his feet in a sort of grand return that would cause mass panic.

for the food, my guess is that they didn't have any food to multiply. They left the weasleys in a rush under not ideal situations. Its possible that the only food they had was foraged, and as ron said, "Dont bother multiplying this,'

@13:50 Slughorn didn't make a small amount. He made a cauldron full! He just gave the small amount as prize.

In the first book Harry says to Ron that he just saw "a bunch of green light" and said that he doesnt remember much else

My head canon for Ron inheriting his brother's wand is that Charley never got a wand of his own when he started and was given a family wand (maybe one of Molly's brothers that died or something)

Interesting video. I am a HUGE (capital letters on huge) harry potter fan and movieflame fan. I agree to all ur points and I am happy to sag that I was able to debunk all of these potholes like you. Continue making fun videos

man his videos explain everything he's so good

17:26 they used a broom. It was shown in the book

Dude I've been following you for years now, but I just wanted to say that I've loved to see you become more confident and yourself in your video's! :)

5:53 That theory is bullshit because if only the Mauraders could see each other on the map then how the fuck did Snape see Lupin on the map? Of all the people they would want not to see them on the map, Snape is probably at the top of that list.

I heard a theory on the port key one by Supercarlinbrothers: Voldemort specifically made the port key to go both ways because he planned to use polyjuice potion to turn into Harry, and sneak into Hogwarts using the cup so he could kill Dumbledore and take over the school.

Bold of you to assume that Fred and George would spend their time watching Ron in his dormitory-where Peter Pettigrew spent nearly all his time as a rat

Regarding the Marauder's Map: Not only was Scabbers with Ron, but with Percy before that. That means that, even if they weren't in the habit of checking out Ron's dorm, they certainly would've checked out Percy's when the first got the Map.

about sorting into the houses, I saw a short on youtube about it and it made a lot of sense to me. Basically, the idea is that children are sorted according to their values, like, what they value in life, not actual character traits. It works especially well with the fact that there are a lot of examples when wizarding families got sorted into one house, and that happens not because they are all the same, but because they share the same values that their parents taught them.

Marauders Map Plot Hole: Snape was able to spot Remus Lupin on the Map when he entered Lupins office to give him the potion. He was not part of the Marauders. How was he able to see Lupin ? Maybe the Marauders Map only shows the Marauders if the Marauders are activating the map but still everybody can see them. Charlies Wand Plot Hole: After school Charlie got to work with dragons. His wand core was made out of unicorn hair. Maybe the interest into dragons also changed his compatibility with another wand core. Maybe a wand with dragon heart string was more suitable for him for his new job ? Wands with Unicorn Core also can die / lose power after time. They don't last forever. Maybe Charlies wand just got worse and worse overtime and he thought it was time for a new wand and because the Weasleys were poor they thought it would be a good idea to give Ron Charlies old wand ? Ron basically got the worst deal ever: a wand that belonged to another wizard (unicorn hair usually remains loyal to the original owner) and a wand with a core that might have lost all the power at that time. No wonder why Ron's magic in the first years was mediocre.

These sorts of videos are my favorite, and whilst I haven’t watched the video yet, I know it won’t disappoint. Thank you Morgan for the continued amazing content ❤

Thanks for another great video! Enjoyable as always! For the Pettigrew map issue, it's definately a plausable theory you had. I myself had always thought that since the dormitories are places where lots of people are in cooped up in one small area, so the map would have had so many dots in one pace you can't see properly, but your explaination was even better But for Sirius being captured in OoP ... where did you get that from? He is never caught in the book; he goes straight from hiding to the fight in the department of mysteries where he dies. The part with Sirius being taken by Voldemort was only a false vision Voldemort put into Harry's head As for Bellatrix's wand - When the Death Eaters kidnapped Ollivander, they would have been really foolish not to take the wands with them. Aside from the questioning about the Elder Wand, the other point with kidnapping him was to prevent the good guys from getting wands, so I believe they took all the wands to make sure all the Death Eaters got good wands and the others had to order wands from less skilled wandmakers And the education - even though there is no collage, the ministry does have post-graduation education for the more advanced jobs. The auror education, for example, is three years of studying after Hogwarts

You answered the question about why Voldemort didn’t collect the prophecy himself perfectly. I think another possibility is that he’s secretly afraid of many of the things in the Department of Mysteries. He fears death and doesn’t understand love, so it’s possible he doesn’t want to go into a place that contains the secrets of love, death, prophecy, time, thought, etc.

17:52 - the room of requirement was already in use. They came back in carrying basilisk fangs. What more likely happened is Hermione and Ron used the levitating charm to lift themselves up.

Veritserum can probably be resisted or overcome, like it only works on weak-willed or injured people. Also it's probably easier to resist if you're aware you've been dosed with it. At least that's what makes sense to me.

2:57. Pretty sure they DID do that. But food becomes less nutritious, hence why Rons wound took so long to heal. And sometimes the food was so lackluster that they didn't even want to multiply it.

For the battle of seven potters one i think the reason is when mundungus said "I've toldjer, I'd sooner be a protector" Moody replied "shut it" "As I've already told you, you spineless worm, any Death Eater we run into will be aiming to capture Potter, not kill him. Dumbledore always said You-know-Who would want to finish Potter in person. It'll be the protectors who have got to worry about, the Death Eaters'll want to kill them" So besecly Harry staying as himself would give him a better chance of staying alive, but for the part of them taking the muggle transportation that is kind of a smart idea but obviously you cant take the muggle transportation to Andromeda's house or the burrow, so they would either walk to it which is risky, take brooms which is the same plan as before or they would apparat to the safe house which will probably tell the ministry (which was run by Death Eaters and Harry was the most wanted person at the time) where Harry is. So the original plan is much better For the poly juice potion voice theory When they made the second film the forth book wasn't obviously released yet so when they made Ron and Harry's voice the same when they were disguised as Crabbe and Goyle they weren't planning for the whole Moody thing in the forth movie When the time came to make the forth movie they probably relised that if they made Moody have the voice of barty crouch Jr it would probably be too obvious. I think for the deathly hallows tho it didnt matter that they have Mafalda, Runcorn and cattermole's voices But it would have probably been easier if they just sticked to the books

16:45 to 18:00 I do agree that maybe they had broomsticks at the entrance of the cave and used those. However, another thing they could have done is swim back up. After destroying the Hoarcrux, the Basilisk room was flooded with water so maybe they used the fact the Chamber was flooded to swim out. Morgan’s theory is the most likely one honestly. I just wanted to suggest my own thoughts

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁💯

About the paintings, Dumbledore collected memory's very frequently, telling Harry because he forgets. As for the powerful wizard that he is, wouldn't be completely unthinkable for him, as he would know that he was going to die, he never collected them because he otherwise forgets but planned to add those memories some how to his painting.

Ollivander himself identified Bellatrix's wand in DH, so it wasn't snapped. I simply believe that they don't snap prisoners' wands. They just keep them with their personal possessions in Azkaban. When Voldemort broke them out, they got their stuff back, too. On the other hand, when Harry was going to be expelled, it meant he'd never be allowed to do magic again, but wasn't being arrested. The only way they could stop him from doing magic would be to take his wand. (If magic could be bound, someone would've been binding all muggle-born magic long before they got their Hogwarts letters).

3:27 I figured that the food would go off eventually, even if it was multiplied

26:45 I imagine a portkey works a bit like the "Death note", while making the spell there is a spot where optional details are added such as trip number, timer, return trip, etc. If nothing is added the default would just be a one-way trip.

6:00 wait but snape saw lupin go into the whomping willow with the map so how does that work?

Hey Morgan, I really loved your Harry Potter books vs movies differences series, and I was wondering if you would consider doing one for individual character differences as well. For example, Harry’s character in the books vs movies is very different and it would be interesting to see what changes the movies made.

Regarding multiplying food. Maybe it would make sense to multiply only long term preservables like canned food, as it lasts longer. What's the point for instance of creating 100 steaks, of you can eat only one, while the rest will inevitably rot. I doubt they had a fridge with them

Another plot hole about Harry seeing thestrals after the GOF is that he never actually saw Cedric die in the books. It was specifically said that through Harry's eyelids he saw a blaze of bright green light and something heavy fall next. He then opened his eyes and saw Cedric dead beside him. Maybe you only have to see a dead body to have the ability to see thestrals but I cannot recall a moment before Cedric's death where he did indeed see a dead body. He was too young to remember his parents, he hadn't been conscious for Quirrel's death like he was in the movies and nor had he seen Barry Crouch Sr in the forbidden forest.

I think the only marauders can see each other on the map can be debunked PoA page 263 “Snape was slightly breathless, but his face was full of pressed triumph. `your wondering, perhaps, how I knew where here?’ He said, his eyes glittering. `I’ve just been to your office, lupin. You forgot to take your potion tonight, so I took a gobletful along. And very lucky I did… lucky for me, I mean. Lying on your desk I saw a curtain map. One glance at it told me all I needed to know, I saw you running along this passageway’” Idk just something I thought for a while

In the fiddles charm thing, remember how worm tail and sirius kept visiting them? They probably chose to do it the way they did so they could keep contact to their friends. What do you think?

12:30 I started thinking of his trial in GoF. He acted as if he was innocent with tears falling out of his eyes, in a nutshell, he would've deserved an Oscar had he been an actor. I think he was just mimicking Moody's voice very convincingly.

The Fidelius Charm one is what I've always thought ever since I read the seventh book and Bill said he was the Secret-Keeper for Shell Cottage, even though he lived there

Something to add to the question about how wizarding kids learn to read, write and do math. I would guess that some, like Molly Weasley, might help out other, more busy families by including their kids in her lessons. For example, especially after Luna's mother died, she might have home-schooled with Ginny.

29:35 To explain this plot hole, there is a Anti Alohamora spell that was invented by Blagdon Blay. This was first introduced in Harry Potter: Wonderbook of Spells, and it would make sense that the Hogwarts staff used them. Now for the Philosopher’s Stone door… 😬

34:26 I just assumed they had more professors protecting the Slytherin’s in the great hall

Here is my list of plot holes you didn’t mention. 1- Harry Potter was not allowed to enter hogsmead without permission from his guardians, he eventually did by his godfather Sirius Black who signed it for him. However those authorities who checked who is Harry's guardian should have saw that it was Sirius Black who they used to think he was a criminal. 2- Quidditch is fun when watching or reading about, however I think the rules of it doesn't make sense and unfair. First of all, why doesn't Hogwarts give them broomsticks or allow the players broomsticks to be the same quality and speed, it should be about skills not how much wealth they have for getting numbus 2001 or firebolt. Second, scoring a goal through quaffle would give only 10 points while catching a snitch is a whopping 150 points and just end the game. Meaning if a team scored 14 times (140 points) through the goalpost and the opposite didn't score any goalpost but caught the snitch, the opposite team would win and the ones who scored 14 times did it for nothing. 3- You said that there probability no university or education after Hogwarts, but what was the institution that Charlie Weasly studied dragons? Also it didn't make sense to me that teachers had expertise for the subject they teach without having some higher education than Hogwarts. 4- it didn't make sense to me that fudge when he saw voldemort at the ministry of magic, he was finally convinced that voldemort is back. The thing is Fudge had all the evidence that Voldemort is back but he was so stubborn to suggest otherwise, didn't he assume that the Voldemort that he saw was dumbldore plan by polyjuice potion or any other magic? 5- The only way you would not be attacked by a hippogriff is by bowing, but in the books the reason why Draco was attacked is because he insulted him. So Hippogriffs can understand English? Why the need to bow when you could just say "I'm not going to hurt you"? This is one of few things I think the movies did better than the books, where Buckbeak behaved like a real animals that can be dangerous only if they feel threatened or misunderstand a person which what made him scratch Draco in the movies.

It was already established in the first book that spells could be cast on locks to make them immune to the alohamora charm, so of course they used that on the locks that they used to keep Sirius out.

I have a theory with the McGonagal one: That isn't Mcgonagal, thats her mother who probably used to teach at Hogwarts.

35:03 maybe they just thought it was the map malfunctioning. Sirius tells us that the map never lies, but the Weasley twins don't know that, right?

About the plot hole at 2:31, I always figured that that trace only detected magic from un unregistered or unknown adult wizards. Dobby is a house elf and the ministry failed to add house elves to the list of people that could perform magic without triggering the trace, Moody, when he performs the disillusionment charm in the 5th book, is a registered wizard, the ministry and trace knows he exists so when he did magic the trace ignored it. Whenever Harry does magic the trace gets set off cause he is underage and essentially doesn't have a wizard ID and isn't a registered wizard. At least that's always been my opinion

The Weasels couldn’t afford to buy Ron a new wand. They had to buy second hand everything for Ron.

I believe Hermione does multiplie their food in the Deathly Hallows book, but the issue is the taste and nutritional value becomes lessened the more you multiplie the food with magic, which is why it wasn't going to sustain the three of them for long

Another FLAME Harry Potter video! The Black family is why it's called the Black Market

Snape hated Sirius too much to help him with the polyjuice potion.

Hagrid originally took a boat to the island in the books. That was just left out from the films. As for all the ones regarding the potions, it would take time to brew, as you said. A lot of these plot holes appear in the films.

First how’s life This is such an underrated channel

9:30 Veritaserum is not used in trials, because more experienced wizards and witches can resist the effect, so using veritaserum is not 100% reliable.

27:19 for the port keys I feel like you could make one to be able to basically use whenever, but I thought it was explained that the ministry made the ones for the World Cup timed so that if I muggle happened to touch them outside of that time they wouldn’t be transported anywhere.

There were so many of these plot holes that I have thought of, but have never heard anyone talking about before. It was really nice to hear them covered and get some explanations. Some I did think of were the dates. It's easy to check these days, but I assume it wasn't so easy to get access to calendars of past years back before 2000 (I was born in 1997, so I would have no way of knowing). It is possible to calculate, but that does take a little time. I also thought of Charlie's wand and why Ron needed to have it. Neville getting his dad's wand makes sense because his dad was dead at the time and it probably meant a lot to his grandmother. But Charlie? A theory I came up with while listening to this video: Maybe you need a special wand to work with dragons, like they need to be made out of a certain material or something? That would explain why he couldn't just pay for a wand for Ron and keep his own.
