History of Hogwarts & All 4 Founders (Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw) - Harry Potter

Thanks for watching all! A lot went in to this one so please show some love by LIKING / SUBSCRIBING / COMMENTING! Cheers

I'd love to see a movie about the founders of Hogwarts

Anyone else catching up on lore now that Hogwarts Legacy is out?

The thing I love most is how Salazar and Godric were friends despite their differences in some of their core beliefs, it gives me Xavier and Magneto vibes

One of the cleverest theories I've ever heard is that the sorting hat sorts (forgive the redundancy) not by reading into what each child's predominant personality trait is, but what they value above all, even if they lack it themselves; this explains why someone like Pettigrew could have ended up in Gryffindor and somone like Lockhart in Ravenclaw, and still not be particularly brave or clever themselves; also why Snape was sorted "too soon" into Slytherin, since he was ambitious and valued power, and didn't set much store by his own bravery. Anyway, I just leave that in here since I thought it was quite interesting and marginally related to this video's topic. Love your videos! Keep it up💓

Anybody else that the Hogwarts founders are an rpg party? Hufflepuff is the healer, Gryffindor is the fighter, Ravenclaw is the mage, and Slytherin is the rogue.

I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing a movie or series based on the founders of Hogwarts. It would be interesting to see how they all got together, how they had an architect make the school and seeing the falling out of Salazar Slytherin and the rest over who should attend there. I would also like to see the time where Merlin attended Hogwarts and see how he progressed from being a student there to his involvement in the Arthur legend.

I think GG knew about the Basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets but didn’t know where. Probably spent most of his time trying to find it but wasn’t able to. So instead he enchanted the sorting hat to provide a true gryffindor his sword for when slytherins heir appears so they could defend the school from the snake.

I like the idea that Salazar Slytherin was from Ireland and that his family was fleeing persecution. Since he's a parselmouth, it ties him to druidism and events like St. Patrick driving snakes from Ireland. Obviously there are hundreds of years between Patrick and Salazar, but that may lend to the theory that he inherited his disdain of muggles from his parents. His family may have been attacked hundreds of years prior, maybe having their snake companions driven from their land.

I like to think that Salazar was a fan of Rowena, respecting her wisdom and knowledge

Rowena had such a tragic life. It's interesting to know that her tiara might not even have been enchanted to give wisdom, it would give more credit to Rowena herself. It's been a while since I've read the books, but I always pictured Helena as quite petty, childlish and jalous of her mother, from her description and story in the books. Again it's been a while so maybe I missread a that time, but I felt like when it was explained how she stole her mother's tiara, she was portrayed quite badly. Your video helped me add a new layer of relatability and understanding to her character, because even though her mother might not have herself put any pressure on her daughter's shoulders, Helena still had an utterly massive legacy to live up to, and that much pressure for sure a young girl (which would certainly explain her behavior) would've been too much to handle.

At 52 I got sorted into the 'Ravenclaw' House 🦅 via the Wizarding World site 😅 Never too old to join Hogwarts ha ha 💫🔮💫 I just found your channel and going to binge watch the Magickal Potterverse! Thank you for your amazing videos HPT 💫🧙‍♀️🌟🧙‍♀️💫

Slytherin = Chamber of Secrets Gryffindor = Head Masters Office Hufflepuff = Great Hall Ravenclaw = Room of Requirement

Theory: Each founders students actually needs other founders students qualities just like each founder needed their friends qualities. Salazar needed more compassion to be able to forgive Muggles. Rowena needed the courage to be vulnerable in front of her friends and the humility to ask for help before it was too late. Godric needed more communication skills and more emotional intelligence to bring his friend back from the darkside before he went too far. Helga needed to be more ambitious. She needed to be the one to bring everyone together.

If Griffindor was at Hogwarts during Harry’s sixth year Umbridge wouldn’t have set foot on the Campus. I’m sure the other Founders would’ve felt similarly but he’d straight up fight the Ministry itself than back down 😂👌

So Tom Riddle & Snape were both half blood going against Salazar’s feelings but were two of his greatest students.

man i wish jk would of went so much deeper into this world and wrote more books. Id of loved to see a series surrounding these guys and even go over seas to other schools and experience how they lived and their schools.

This so far is one of the best videos I've seen on the founders.

I have thought about a theory as to why salazar slytherin didn't trust muggles. Look at the time he lived, a time where muggles were burning or drowning witches and wizards en masse (which is part of real history) which could be seen as a potential existential threat. So is it not unreasonable to think that the children of muggles might just (accidently or not) leak vital information that could threaten the lives of students and staff at the school or even the wizarding world at large. So to make preferences for students who don't have muggles in their family could be considered a safer option. Even the chamber of secrets could've had not so evil motivations (at least at first), being large enough to fit all students and staff if the school was under serious threat and a terrifying basilisk as a form of protection. And would only follow salazar after his fallout with gryffindor.

You could do a video on Corvinus's Gaunt, Tom Riddle ancestor in the 1800 century. He's the one who helps build the plumbing system to hide the chamber of secrets. Great video thanks.
