Nagini…
Voldemort’s faithful serpent side kick – a venomous and merciless killer.
The snake from your worst nightmares…
As the Wizarding World expands we now know there is more to the snake than first met
the eye – we now know that she started of as good and kind, a friend to Credence and
a helper to Albus Dumbledore.
Hello and welcome back to Life’s Biggest Questions – I am your Harry Potter Loving
host Rebecca Felgate and I loveeeeeeee it when we get to answer Potter Questions!
Join me as we slither in to this epic video as I ask What if Nagini was real!
Before we answer this slippery question I want to ask you guys what your Hogwarts house
is and what your favourite fantastic beast is!?
My house is Slytherin and my favourite beast is the Niffler.
If you are into Harry Potter – I have a Harry Potter Youtube channel…just search
Rebecca Felgate and you will find it!
Okay NAGINI… if Nagini was real?
What would this mean...
Well let’s look on the plus side before we are taken down by her infamous venomy fangs…
if she was real… would this mean that the entire wizarding world is real?
If so….
What’s a killer snake between friends.
If you don’t mind me…I’ll be patiently waiting for the owl with my Hogwarts acceptance
letter.
No…I have to finish the video?
Okay… but after that I’ll be intercepting that owly post.
SO if Nagini was real, this would mean that humans could transform into animals…which
is pretty massive if you think about it.
Nagini was a Maledictus – which basically meant that she was the carrier of a blood
curse that doomed her to ultimately transform into a beast.
In the earlier part of her life she enjoyed the same perks of being an animagus – someone
who could transform into an animal at will – but eventually her fate was to become
that animal – she became a snake.
So my question is – if Nagini is real and Maledicti are real then this would mean that
there are other people out there suffering the same curse – have you ever looked into
the eyes of a particularly knowing cow or felt like that fly buzzing around your room
is trying to tell you something… like…maybe they are.
I wonder what other blood curses are out there too?
Are we powerless to stop them.
Nagini certainly seemed so.
If Nagini were real, this would mean that parceltongues are real and people can speak
to snakes.
Imagine all of the secret chambers that could be unlocked with a hiss?
If parceltongue is real – then maybe there are other animal languages that we could learn?
The problem is with parceltongue is that it allows humans to control animals – if Nagini
were real, well…we all know who was controlling her – Voldemort.
What other nasty wizards would use language to control animals to do their biddings?
Nagini was also telepathic – she was able to communicate with her dark master even when
they weren’t together.
She also managed to taunt Harry Potter’s dreams – with the boy who lived actually
inhabiting part of her brain and seeing events through her eyes.
Telepathic animals with human consciousness and the ability to be controlled by evil schemers
sounds pretty scary…as if snakes weren’t worrying enough.
If Nagini was real you would not want to be bitten by her – like a lot of ferocious
snakes, she is venomous…although her venom is magical and pretty deadly.
When she bit Arthur Weasley, he was in St mungo’s hospital for months because her
venom didn’t allow for his wounds to heal.
It was all very well that Arthur was in a magical hospital but if she bit a muggle,
they would like bleed out and die without much hope of saving.
For all Nagini’s scary qualities, she does have some good too.
While her venom is worrisome it also has healing properties.
When Voldemort was reborn, it was partly a magical component to her venom that restored
him to health.
And while what I am about to say is very gross and disturbing, she could also be milked.
Errrgh…milking a snake.
Her milk was able to sustain Voldemort and help him grow strong again – allowing him
to sustain life.
So… for all her bad traits, Nagini could be harnessed for good.
We know from Fantastic Beasts that she started good, perhaps when her blood curse took full
hold that was when she was drawn to the dark side.
If she was real, maybe we could try and level with her – she does have a human conscience
after all… we could try and convince her to do good.
The onlyyyyyy problem is though…the awkward issue of her being a horcrux.
Nagini contains a little part of Lord Voldemort’s soul.
If she was real and alive, sadly that would mean that she would need to be killed, if
not the dark lord could return.
It would be a shame to kill her because we know she has good in her… but it would have
to be.
The trouble would be finding and capturing her…she can basically hide anywhere….
Nagini had the ability to inhabit human bodies – remember that horrifying scene in Godrick’
hollow where she waits for Harry, Ron and Hermione INSIDE Bathilda Bagshot’s body?
I certainly will never forget.
Capturing her would be a task beyond prest control or the highest trained zooologists
– we would need the best magizooologist…we would need Newt Scamander.
But then, could he kill a former ally ? The real question with Nagini is …well…who
is she, who cursed her and what made her turn from Dumbledore’s side to becoming the side
kick of one of the most evil wizards of all time.
Perhaps we will find out in the next Fantastic Beasts, but now we can all but wonder.
SO, what would you do if Nagini was real?
Should we do more magical snake questions ? Let me know in the comments section down
below.

A good question… we could probably do a video on what would happen if Medusa brushed
her hair.
