Hey everyone welcome back so for todays video I want to talk about those fake death eaters
that attacked the quidditch World Cup in the goblet of fire book.
Technically they were actual death eaters previously but they abandoned that life when
they gave up the search for Voldemort after his downfall or basically didn’t actually
try at all, they just thought he was gone and moved on with their lives.
So the story is that these death eaters did enjoy their time in the role.
They loved the power and intimidation that came with being a death eater.
They loved frightening people, harming muggles, just being assholes for the sake of a better
word.
So at the end of the quidditch World Cup, these death eaters or wannabe death eaters,
show up out of the blue and start causing mayhem.
What exactly happened?
Why did they do it?
Where did this idea even come from?
Was Voldemort behind it?
Theres so many questions to answer and a big discussion to be had so lets get to bottom
of this story.
So as I mentioned, life as a death eater was pretty good, they enjoyed being death eaters,
they enjoyed everything that came with it.
Then voldmeort disappears and the death eaters basically disappear along with him.
Nobody was willing to risk being caught and it showed that loyalty to the dark lord meant
nothing if it meant life in azkaban.
There were some who willingly went down for their master like Bellatrix Lestrange to name
but one but other than that, everyone else went missing.
Thats how it was, nobody looked for voldemort and any signs of his return were blatantly
ignored, as a matter of fact, many death eaters were happy he was gone after seeing the most
brutal side of the man that promised to change the Wizarding World for the better.
However with that being said, these were not nice people themselves anyway.
They all had egos, they all enjoyed being in a position of power but that all went out
the window for well over a decade.
Now the death eaters of old were certainly not strangers, they all remained friends and
kept inside the inner circle, Lucius Malfoy for example was still friends with Crabbe,
Goyle, Mcnair among others.
They all still shared the same feelings towards the current state of magical society, they
would have conversations about the Purebloods being bred out, more and more half bloods
and muggleborns coming into the world, the ministry won’t do anything about it, that
old fool dumbledore is still running hogwarts, long gone are the days of old where everyone
feared who they used to be.
Then the idea drops, why cant the death eaters make an appearance once again and stir things
up, create a panic, get the daily prophet printing absolute madness.
This would be all of their own doing and certainly something that Lucius Malfoy would have fronted
without question.
Theres a scene in the goblet of fire movie where Lucius tells harry to enjoy himself
while he can, indicating something was about to happen.
I think thats the message many viewers got anyway.
However with that being said, these guys were just a bunch of phones looking to take one
last ride on the glory of their past days.
They were never going to actually do something that would draw serious attention to the faction.
the last thing they wanted was to be caught by aurors and interrogated beyond breaking
point due to their association with voldmeort when in reality all they wanted was some fun,
even if it was at other wizard and witches expense.
So what exactly happened, well you’ll remember that the attack actually happened after the
World Cup had ended, when everything was done.
As I said, they weren’t going to interrupt the World Cup proceedings, that’s too big
of a draw.
They waited and then made their play.
The rioters as they were called, began burning everything in their paths, tents, clothing
and other belongings.
They were targeting muggleborns and neighbouring muggles too.
They wanted to set an example and instil fear but as I said, nothing past the point of catastrophic.
They were all dressed in their death eater robes, which is quite ironic that they kept
them so long but dressed as death eaters they were which only spelled one name, Voldemort.
So it has the desired effect as the first sign of anything to do with voldemort terrified
the vast majority if not everybody.
They took things to what I’d consider a little too far when they began to torture
the innocent Roberts family, a group of muggles camping near by.
So these Fake death eaters think they’re absolutely in control, they are loving life,
doing whatever they please because of the terror their robes bring with them.
So I’ll explain why I’ve used the word fake several times and it links together nicely
with the next part of our story.
Barty Crouch Jr, the OG super devoutly loyal death eater comes on the scene, and witnesses
these men act in the name of voldemort or so they claim to be doing anyway.
He knows how to extract the weeds with one simple spell.
Pointing his wand to the sky, he casts the morsmordre spell, which projects Voldemorts
dark mark in the sky for all to see.
Barty absolutely despised these people.
Those who abandononed his master in his time of need, those who pretend to do the dark
lords work only to disappear at Meer sight of danger.
T
he only time this mark appears in the sky is when someone has been killed in the name
of voldemort.
When the rioters witnessed the dark mark appearing in the sky, they all dispersed immediately
with fear that the dark lord was indeed back.
As I said earlier, they didnt want voldmeort to be back.
They knew he’d scold them at the very least for their lack of effort in restoring him
to power and they’d all built their own rather comfortable lives since the events
of the First Wizarding War.
The most surprising part is that this whole attack stemmed from a bunch of drunken pureblood
former colleagues still bitter over the fact that they no longer had power.
It was just a flex of who they used to be.
They were literally former death eaters pretending to be actual death eaters, which they weren’t
because voldmeort was gone and they served nobody.
It’s not as strategically planned as what we see in the films with them lining the camp
site like soldiers ready for battle but they did have the intention to do damage.
So thats my story on the fake death eaters everyone.
