Have you ever wondered
how Quirrell managed to find Voldemort?
Or what kind of job you could have
if you were in the wizarding world?
Now that we've introduced you
to the wizarding world,
you've probably got a few questions.
Well, wonder no longer.
We have all the answers you need.
Well, maybe not all the answers.
Why spiders?
Keep watching for the answers
to all your burning questions.
Well, first of all,
Swish and flick.
But the real answer is
that only witches and wizards
can attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
No non-magical folk are allowed
to set foot on the grounds
under magical law,
as we explained in the previous video.
There is an International Statute
of Wizarding Secrecy that forbids wizards
from spilling secrets
about their world to non-magic folk.
This, unfortunately, applies
to non-magical children
who are born to magical parents.
You've met one already.
That's right, Argus Filch,
the Hogwarts caretaker, is a Squib,
and seemingly the only exception to the rule
on non-magical folk allowed
onto the Hogwarts grounds.
Hermione would be disappointed to hear
that you haven't read Hogwarts: A History.
If you had,
you'd know that
Other large wizarding locations,
like the Quidditch World Cup Stadium,
have Muggle-repelling charms on them
to prevent any unexpected visitors.
They are also bewitched to be unplottable,
meaning it's impossible to plot it on a map.
The list of things magic can hide
from Muggles is never-ending.
Speaking of which,
As Stan Shunpike once said,
Haven't you ever noticed
something strange out the corner of your eye,
then turn to see there's nothing there?
That's what a lot of wizarding secrecy relies on,
Muggles being too lost in their own lives
to notice anything out of the ordinary.
This led him to pursuing The Dark Arts
and eventually, setting out
to find what remained of Lord Voldemort.
He believed he would be safe
in an encounter with Lord Voldemort,
especially since the Dark Lord
would be very weak.
This was a valuable lesson
for any wizard planning to seek out Lord Voldemort.
However strong you think you are,
you're no match for his power,
even in his weakened state.
The short answer, loads.
Aurors are essentially Dark wizard catchers.
While it is a job that often
puts them in harm's way,
it's incredibly rewarding too.
Both Harry and Ron
have said they want to be Aurors
when they leave Hogwarts,
and it's fair to say
they have the experience needed.
Don't worry, there are lots of other,
less life-endangering jobs
available at the Ministry.
For example,
This leads to some strange questions.
Tell me,
Oh.
Outside the Ministry,
there are jobs more similar
to those you'd find in the Muggle world.
Out of my way,
out of my way.
Or even work in a pub.
More magic-focused jobs include wandmaker,
though this can get messy.
If you're really brave,
you could be a dragon keeper
like Ron's older brother, Charlie.
Tell me, what would I get if I added
powdered root of asphodel
to an infusion of wormwood?
Well, if Hermione had been given
the chance to answer,
she would've told Professor Snape that
She's perfect!
However, Snape might have just been testing
Harry's potions knowledge in this scene.
How heartbreaking is that?
It was as surprising to us
as it was to Harry
when the Philosopher's Stone,
the object of Voldemort's desire,
suddenly appeared in his pocket
as he stared into the mirror of Erised.
Only I'm ...
Head Boy,
and I'm holding the Quidditch Cup.
But in Harry's hour of need,
it presents him with the Stone.
It was Dumbledore who made this possible
by making modifications that turned it
into the perfect hiding place.
Only someone who wanted to find the Stone,
but not use it
for its powers of immortality,
could locate it.
Immortality sounds good in theory,
but someone like Lord Voldemort
would be too tempted to use it for evil.
Hopefully, we've answered
your most burning questions
in this video.
If you have any more,
well, it's the perfect excuse
to re-read the books and re-watch the films
to find out what you missed.
