The Harry Potter Misconceptions Iceberg Explained

About the dursleys…. Idk about vernon. But fact ist petunia isn’t scared of magic, she is dying of jealousy and obv doesn’t want her sisters son to have, what neither she nor her son can ever have. Fun fact, in book 5 she mentions Snape.

We know for a fact that the Invisibility Cloak doesn't block ALL spells cast at the wearer, because even aside from Dumbledore's spell to immobilize him, Malfoy hit Harry with a Body-Bind Curse while he was wearing the cloak in HBP. I think it's safe to say it wouldn't protect from Avada Kedavra either. I agree that the "protection" aspect of the Cloak is poorly explained. But what I've always interpreted it to mean is, the wearer is immune to any magical attempt to reveal them. So a Summoning Charm for the express purpose of pulling the Cloak off Harry wouldn't work, but if someone already knew where Harry was and cast a curse or hex to immobilize or cause general harm to him, that would still work.

Also, with regard to whether all prophecies are fulfilled... remember, in the Hall of Prophecy, some prophecies on the shelves were warm and glowing, others were "as dull and dark within as blown lightbulbs". I've always understood this to mean, the glowing prophecies are the ones that were, or still could be, fulfilled, and the not-glowing prophecies are the ones that did not come true.

Despite the Dursley's questionable parenting tactics. They really did do a good job saving Dudley from feeling like he missed out from their heavy demonization of magic.

32:30 Fun fact, when Lucius encounters Harry, and he’s about to cast a spell on him and dobby stops him. The spell that Lucius was going to cast was a Avada Kadavra. When you watch it again you’ll hear him start it. Dude was straight going to off Harry Potter right there at the school 🤣

To a certain degree I believe that one of the points of this series is that no one is purely good nor evil, but each has potential for good. With Snape, the good he had was his love for Lily. I do agree that this was the primary, if not the only, motivations for the good that he does. That is the good within him. Dumbledore knew this initially and used it. I think Dumbledore assumed that, over time, it would fade and that Snape would fine goodness elsewhere. This is why he is surprised when he sees Snape's patronus. Snape loved one person, but that was enough for him to do what was necessary, even after she was gone.

Hogwarts doesn't count as "his home". He is generally safe there because Dumbledore and others are there to protect him. Dumbledore literally says Harry needs to return to the Dursley's once a year to continue the charm. It's why he asks the Dursleys to allow Harry to return one more time before his 17th birthday in book 6.

4:35 I'm probably not 100% correct on this but I just realized that Harry likely cast the same "love" spell as his Mother when he willingly let Voldemort kill him in The Deathly Hallows. He was basically also given a choice and chose self sacrifice. Thus applying that love protection to the people he cares about in that final battle.

Actually, Harry's invisibility cloak is made with the combined weave of demiguise fur with Thestral hair Stitching; Demiguise hair was the main material of the invisibility cloak's make, which is why it was described as being of a silvery color in the book(The Cloak was too blackish in the movies), because it was the material part of the cloak, but what prevented the material from tearing and losing its invisibility effects is due to the Thestral hair thread stitching. I have drawn to the conclusion that the threads that were used to stitch together the other invisibility cloaks were either ordinary thread or thread that was made with the same stuff as the material. This makes me wonder, why Ignotus was the first and only magical human to have ever occurred to use Thestral hair in the construction of his Invisibility cloak? Do not forget that it was the Peveril brothers who have invented the Deathly Hallows themselves; Beedle the bard only followed up with the outlandish factions of how the Hallows were created to immortalize such magical feats the brothers displayed.

If Voldemort used a different wand like you theorized. Harry would still be protected because Voldemort has his blood inside of him which is still the protection that Lily gave.

With the resurrection stone, after Harry drops it in the forest if I'm not mistaken he then no longer sees his loved ones around him. He only sees them while he's holding the stone so if him and someone else were both touching the stone at the same time would they be able to see their loved ones at the same time. You got me really thinking so now I'm literally going to be going back rereading all seven books to brush back up.

to my understanding raven claw means black claw (raven is a synonym for black, as in raven hair...) for which eagles are known for.

Priori Incantatem can be used willingly and will probably be used in law enforcement as well. Bellatrix uses it in Deathly Hollows to see that Hermione used a spell to disfigure Harry. Dumbledore mentions in Half Blood Prince that the Ministry of Magic found out that the Riddles were murdered with Morphins wand. The astonishing thing about the Priori Incantatem with Voldemort and Harry is that none of them intended to use it and it just occured after one wand overpowered the other, thus forcing it to relive its last spells.

Just found your channel yesterday and watched the other HP iceberg videos and now there's another video :D

I feel that the dursleys reason for not wanting harry going to hogwarts starts with petunia, not vernon. And you kinda mentioned it. She missed out on being a witch. She was jealous of her sister (proven in book 7) i think they were protecting dudley from that same jealousy. They always gave dudley more, more food, more space (2 bedrooms) more fun (outing and stuff) but they couldnt control the magic. That is why i personally believe they didnt want harry to go to hogwarts. They didnt want Dudley to feel how petunia did.

I can see your point about the whole Ravenclaw thing, the only thing is though Raven is another word for black and then claw which Eagles have black claws. We're Ravens don't. When it comes to the Hufflepuff Badger I think the reason why my house which is Hufflepuff we have the badger and I'm not 100% certain on this, but Badgers in the actual real world can be quite tamed unless if they are attacked or someone in their group is attacked. At that point they can take down Predators five times their size if I'm not mistaken. As we see in the final book it was mostly Hufflepuff students that stayed behind to help in the final battle. There is a few ravenclaws and a handful of gryffindor's but virtually half the table if I'm not mistaken from Hufflepuff stay to assist and Aid Harry wherever he needed

New to your channel, big HP fan would love if you did more Potter content. Great video.

I could be wrong but I thought I read somewhere on Pottermore, that there was a Half-Blood or a muggle-born that was put into Slytherin, and the portrait there would always be yelling at her because they weren't a pureblood. And a lot of the Slytherin students would mock them. Again I could be wrong

Regarding harry being able to open the snitch to get the resurrection stone, The key is Harry kissing the snitch. It was set to open on the recognition of how it was caught in Harry's first match. Harry caught the snitch by having first contact with his mouth/ lips. When he kisses the snitch this is the memory the snitch holds of it's first contact with Harry causing it to open

The first of two reasons on how Voldemort picked up a cult following, is because he never told anybody his real blood status and so every dark-minded character coming out of Slytherin House probably assumes that he was a pure-blood; It should be common knowledge that most Slytherins with Half-Blood status would naturally want to either keep quiet about what blood status they are within the proximity of Slytherins who are pure-bloods or some like the former known as Delores Jane Umbridge, will just flat out lie about their Blood purity.
