So now we need a What If series concerning Dumbledore’s Hallows. The eye(replaces the stone), the deluminator (replaces the cloak), and Hagrid’s umbrella (replaces the wand). What if Voldemort believed in the hallows and sought them all out, and Harry had to use Dumbledore’s newly created hallows to combat them?

@edeepolyakovsky7201 14 күн бұрын

This would be so awesome but I think the eye would replace the cloak and the deluminator would replace the stone. SCB made a video before theorizing that Dumbledore made the deluminator as an attempt to recreate the powers of the stone (i.e. reaching your loved ones) and in this video they talk about the eye’s power to see through the cloak. The three objects are almost like anti-Hollows. The eye penetrates the cloak, the deluminator brings you to your loved ones, but only if they are alive unlike the stone which shows you your dead loved ones but can’t bring you to them, and Hagrid’s umbrella is a humble wand which people are led to believe is not even actually a wand, while the elder wand is famous and believed to be the most powerful wand of all. Anyway, a What If? video about this would be great!

Your missing one additional fact. Dumbledore would have the cloak at the time the eye was made. Dumbledore said he wanted to study it. The eye could have been made as part of the studying process to see what it would take to see through it. So the eye could have been made before Moody needed it. Also, also Dumbledore knew James as a kid. So the eye could have been made even earlier. But it makes more sense it was done when Dumbledore was studying the cloak.

I completely forgot that Moody got his eye after Voldemort fell. I always thought it was much earlier. Given how cautious Moody is, there's no way he would just use any old magical artifact, especially one of unknown origin to replace his eye. So at the very least he must have gotten it from Dumbledore (who else would he trust?) From that logic, Dumbledore making it isn't a huge leap as he wouldn't give Moody something he didn't 100% trust himself and the only way to do that would be to make it. Somewhat circular logic but it does make sense in context.

What puzzles me about the Eye is how many “layers” can it see through? We know it can see through the Cloak. We also know that it can see through clothing (He can see the socks from Dobby under Harry’s dress robes at the Yule Ball). It can also see through the floor/ceiling and furniture (he sees the boggart at Headquarters in Order). Can he (literally) see through people and their clothes? Can he see anywhere in a building? Is there a limit? Does he have to consciously think what he wants to focus on? (That sounds mentally exhausting, overstimulating, and taxing.) is this mentioned anywhere? What do y’all think?

Ok, but...how can Dumbledore see through the cloak with his plain eyes when Death can't see through it? Did he use the elder wand to permanently enhance his own vision? If so, I wonder if the fake eye he gave to Moody was really just the practice go before using the spell on himself.

I am not sold on the idea that the eye was made by Dumbledore, thou he might have helped enchanting it. However I feel like the biggest misconception is with the, "ability to Invisibility Cloaks". I don't think the eye can see beneath an invisibility cloak, it can simply see a protection spell in effect. And that may have something to do with the color blue, and how that arbsorbs light from sources.

@therealsarlic4702 13 күн бұрын

It’s confirmed the eye can see through Harry’s cloak, because in the same scene where he sees Harry under it, he sees Harry mouthing and pointing at the Marauders Map telling Moody that it belongs to him, so Snape won’t take it.

The delaminator was most likely borrowed to be able to put the lights out without casting spells, as Harry was going to be on trial for underage magic, which is also why they rode brooms to 12 grimould place.

I like this much more than the „it came from Grindelwald“ thing that sometimes comes up and just relies on Grindy having one normal, but strikingly blue eye. What adds to this theory is that when Dumbledore would have supposedly created the eye, he would also have possessed the cloak so he could have tested the eye thoroughly to make sure it pierces cloaks.

I was wondering this just a day or 2 ago, I have just started the video so before I watch it I'm guessing it was Dumbledore using the Elder Wand to make the eye and that's what gives it the power to even pass the power of Harry's Invisibility Cloak despite it being a Deathly Hallow.

Not trying to say I’m anywhere near as good at answering this stuff as the carlin bros are, not even close, but in my opinion it definitely 100,000% would’ve bowed for Harry. It bowed for Dumbledore and Harry is a thousand times more pure than him. Honestly i think the one thing that makes Harry special is his purity and that’s saying something because there’s a lot that makes him special.

Something that’s always bothered me a little is how Barry Crouch Jr is so adamant that he hated death eaters who went free, effectively denouncing their allegiance with Voldy, yet, during his hearing he displays determined denial of his own guilt. Belatrix, on the other hand, continues her bold support of Voldemort in the face of conviction. It just seems as though it’s a bit against character, given how he is later revealed to be.

What if Harry wasn't the true master of the cloak? If you think about it, the cloak stayed in the bloodline because it was handed down through the generations. However, James was killed while he lent the cloak to Dumbledore. What if the cloak's loyalty could be won like the elder wand? In that case, Harry was never fully concealed by its protection.

I had a discussion specifically about Harry being able to resist "Moody s" Imperio and the little voice coming up in his head for it. is it Harry s subconsiousness or is it Voldemort, who does not want to be controlled? Also... Could the part of Voldemorts soul be the reason Harry has this HUGE dilke towards Snape (in the books) - because up until Goblet the soul piece might think Snape a traitor? The sould pievce is sort of my "look up point" for my current reread.

Edit: Especially in year 5 he could have used the extra time to search for the chamber of secrets and of course to keep a close eye in Hagrid (although maybe He entrusted his followers with the latter).

Hey there! I was wondering if I could make a suggestion. It would be amazing if you could create a video of Harry accepting Lupin's offer in the Deathly Hallows. I'm sure many fans, including myself, would love to see that iconic moment come to life. Thank you so much for considering it!

Ok, I need you guys to break down another passage of the Deluminator. IIRC, it gives *snippets of conversation* before and after the user's name was said. Dumbledoor had it in his possession all through the first war and up to DH. Every time someone says his name. I'd like to see a video exploring the possibilities :)

i have had a look through the comments and haven't seen anyone mention this. i do know that the films can be very inaccurate and I have read each book multiple times myself. but just a simple question. the photo that is taken of the order has Moody in it with his eye, as well as having the Longbottoms in the photo unharmed. i think this theory is really well thought through and makes a lot of sense. i also watch almost all of your HP theory videos and love them and the series.

Plus, Dumbledore had the invisibility cloak at the time of making the eye. So, he could study the cloak and use that knowledge to make the eye. Like a reverse invisibility cloak.

i very much like this theory, i've always been a bit "meh" on you guys' idea that it was somehow grindewald's blue eye, just didn't seem to fit or make all that much sense, but i have no trouble accepting that dumbledore with the elder wand could make something on par in ability with a deathly hallow, really nicely put together this one!

@p.s.8171 14 күн бұрын

And Dumbledore had the cloak at the time, so he could test the eye on it or study the magic behind it to give the eye a kind of embedded counter curse. Nice theory!

@crazysasha1374 14 күн бұрын

In that timeline it also makes sense that the eye can see through the cloak since Dumbledore had the cloak and could make sure the eye was so good it could see through even that.

To add to this: Dumbledore was studying the cloak at the same time that Moody lost his eye! He could've easily tested the eye to see how effective it was before gifting it to Moody.

Whilst it is possible and maybe even probable Dumbledore made they eye, I have a few issues with the theory (theories I guess). 1. Do we know the Elder Wand really could repair wands? We only see it in this one specific case where Harry is the owner of both wands, so we can't really say whether it can repair others. I always wondered what happened to Dumbledore's original wand and whether he just magicked that into an umbrella for Hagrid? It doesn't really matter either way, as if the EW could repair wands, Dumbledore would have done. 2. I don't think Dumbledore could see Harry under the coat at Hagrid's, I think he just used intuition. Hagrid was being rather obvious by looking at that corner and being all jittery. To anyone who knew Harry possessed the cloak, it would have been clear he was there. That or he just saw him walk there earlier from his office window or used non-verbal magic. That's sorta it, I do believe Dumblie created the eye, but the biggest question that remains: WHAT DOESE THE BOGGART LOOK LIKE TO MOODY (when he sees it through several floors)?! Sorry for shouting, but I've been asking myself that for years. Is it a shapeless mass or something he fears? Also that whole seeing through clothes thing is mega creepy considering he's at a school... How does it work? Does he have to focus on it to look through it? It seems a little head-fornicating otherwise.

Following this logic, the eye feels like a countermeasure against the invisibility cloak in case it was ever stolen.

@martinschalken7583 14 күн бұрын

Maybe this also explains why Dumbledore borrowed the cloak from James - to understand it in order to give the eye the power to see through it… 🤔

@FabricatedPheonix 13 күн бұрын

I don't think it ever specifically states Moody can see Harry. My theory is that he can't see through the cloak but only that he can see the cloak is there. Dumbledore would have told moody about Harry's cloak so he could easily assume who's under it

0:00 Who made Moody's eye? Oh please, it was given to the 4th peverol brother by death! He asked to be all seeing, but that just helped him see death comming for him and we went insane. the other brotheres disavowed all relation to him and he was forgotten

I always thought the diary's magic of making Harry want to keep picking it up, keep feeling like he should connect with it was part of its charm to make someone want to write in it, which Harry inevitably did. While Hermione handles the book for a short while, I honestly think if she or Ron ever had for more than a few moments they would have fallen under the same charm. Obviously Ginny wrote in it as a diary and got the words back and presto, but I just always imagined it had that kind of compulsion spell in there to work on anyone. You got me sold on the entire headcannon, as usual with you guys! The only point I'd argue is the vaguely silly idea Dumbledore can see through the cloak without some sort of magic, though he might have enchanted his spectacles with the same spell he used on Mad-Eye's eye?! I always thought Dumbledore just knew those rotten boys were in there out of bounds to see their friend, but now you got me mind blown all over again what Dumbledore couldn't do with that amazing wand!
