The house elves dilemma is complicated; they're based on mythical creatures like boggarts (not the ones you know in HP) and broonies, basically small creatures that helped with household chores and some of them would be insulted if you tried to pay them for their work that they'd leave. This is what Rowling was portraying with the house elves, esp in the Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix books where the elves take great insult to Hermione's attempts to convince them to ask for wages and clothes that they kick the trio out of the kitchen and stop cleaning the Gryffindor common room. You might think it's a bit much on their end, but considering the creatures they're inspired by, its accurately portrayed.
Though I love Hermione, MsMojo is wrong, she isn't perfect. While Hermione did have good intentions, she was also misinformed by having Dobby be the first house elf she heard about. She saw and heard him being happy about his freedom and looking for paid work and thought that's exactly what all the house elves should work for too, but Hagrid himself said that there's always the one outlier (can't remember his exact words, and Fred and George told her that the house elves working in Hogwarts were happy. In fact the house elves in Hogwarts prob have it better than most house elves; you've seen how Dobby was treated by the Malfoys, and most house elves work for rich and pure-blood families expected to take care of the household by themselves, while the Hogwarts elves work with many others so the workload is divided.
It's also the only thing both sides know; house elves have always been helpful, looking to serve someone, while wizards prob (and let's face it most people would take advantage if they were real) were glad to accept their help. While it sucks that it isn't an equal partnership, and while Hermione could've started a change to this, she started too forcefully, wanting everyone to change things right away. What she didn't consider is that most students of course wouldn't be onboard cause they (unlike Hermione) have lived in the wizarding world their whole lives and to them this is just the norm; it'd be like if someone walked up to you saying 'i just finished my first botany class and realized flowers are actually vegetables. Please sign this petition if you also agree flowers should be sold in supermarkets and advertised as food. '
Plus, the only other house elf she knew and the first she actually met was Winky, a house elf who literally became an alcoholic cause she became so depressed cause she was freed from her master as a punishment. If Hermione had succeeded in freeing a bunch of house elves, they wouldn't exactly be jumping for joy, they'd become just as depressed or angry, esp since it's hard for a house elf to find a job when they've been freed, its the equivalent to being blacklisted in your field of work.

Hermione is perfect.
Ya'll really need to read the books properly before you make these videos.
The house elves LIKED being enslaved. All Hermione ever succeeded in doing was insulting them and trying to force them into freedom that they DID NOT WANT.
Is it really slavery if it's your choice? Hermione was trying to take their choices away because she believed it was right. She believed that her way was the right way, the only way for them to live and she tried to force them into it. How was she any better than the slave masters?
Don't get me wrong, I love Hermy. But she could have gone about it differently. I mean House elves definitely deserved to be treated with more kindness but she should not have disrespected them by spitting in the face of their traditions. It was their way of life, it was what they loved doing with their lives. Taking care of wizards was an honour to them.
It is okay, welcomed even, to fight for their better treatment and working conditions but not okay to take away their choice by forcing or tricking them into freedom. Yes, she actually tried to trick them by making wolly hats and hiding them around the common room for the house elves to accidentally pick up. Ron actually had to take to bringing out the hats form where she had buried them and said that the house elves should at least have a choice in the matter.

5: 00 Dear MsMojo,
I really love your Harry Potter content, but the thing you said about time turners is not quite right.
You see, the time turners in Harry Potter can only go back a few hours max, so they can't solve all problems.
Also, the sort of time turner is one with a closed time loop, so without paradoxes. This means that everything that happens with the time turner is what happens because the time turner was there all along. So saving Harry's parents or solving any other problems would be impossible due to these reasons.
And even if you could go back in time for more that 6 decades to kill Voldemort, you would have to stay that amount of time in that world. Just look at the Prisoner of Azkaban, Hermione spends here time in 2 classed at once, so technically, she would have aged at least 8 months or so. Keeping that in mind, if someone could go back and killed Voldemort, he would have aged arount 60 years.
Lastly, in the Order of the Phoenix book, when they get into the Ministry of Magic, they see that all the time turners are broken and gone. J. K. Rowling did this on purpose because she realized that the time travel plot would be to complicated.
This is not a hate comment, this is just some explanation on why this statement is false using the books and the internet.

A lot of these I myself noticed as a kid such as the fact that they keep on calling Hogwarts the safest school and yet all of that danger happens. Lol
The teacher background checks I always questioned since I was a kid too. Lol
However I feel like most of this video is kind of too harsh.
Dumbledore wasn't always purposely perfect but he had to let Harry be ready to sacrifice himself as the Horcrux which is why he didn't tell him or anything or else Harry wouldn't be brave enough.
Also, even as a kid I always caught onto the fact that having your souls sucked by the dementors by the Dementor's Kiss was something I never really wanted.
As for the number one pick, the other characters did care that the elves were slaves and Hermione even got Harry to be nice to Kreacher in the 7th book making Kreacher come around.
Just sometimes the elves just loved working and Hermione at times took things way too far.
I don't remember how old I was but I was nine when I learned that love potions isn't right due to controlling someone to fall in love with you instead of doing that naturally.
It even sounds way too judgmental to accuse the Hufflepuffs as stoners. People who honestly come up with that are thinking way too much, no offense.

Can we just discuss Sirius Black for a minute? When arrested for the supposed murder of Peter Pettigrew, he was sent straight to Azkaban without trial, Veritaserum, or any chance to defend himself. Dumbledore knew the truth about Peter as the secret keeper for the Potters yet did not speak up about it, leaving everyone thinking Black had betrayed them to Voldemort. He condemned Black to more then a decade in prison for something he could prove he didnt do.
Then when Sirius provides his house to help the Order, Dumbledore confines him to it. One prison for another. At a time when he could help the most, Dumbledore put him in a position he could help the least. What a way to say thank you.
And locking the deadly perils that protected the Philosophers Stone behind a door you could unlock with a spell from a first years spell book, then telling kids dont go there. Brilliant thinking if ever I heard it.
Salazar Slytherin was a parcel tongue, everyone knows. He hid a mysterious chamber in the school, everyone knows. The castle has been searched several times we are told. Sherlock Holmes, they aint.

i completely disagree with the points about dumbledore. he could not have told harry all this information because voldemort is excetionally good at legilemency therefor telling harry all this information is a giant risk and who would tell a 11 year old hey kid there is a part of the soul of the dude who killed your parents inside of you and you have to die to get rid of it and save the wizarding world dumbledore did not know harry was a horcrux until he got the gaunt ring (6th book) by then dumbledore also knew about voldemort returning using harrys blood and therefor keeping lilys protection up. so the dumbledores only fault was not telling harry he was horcrux in half blood prince but at this point he knew harry sucked at occlumency so telling him everything would just be information for voldemort + harry needed to conviced he would die so he could cast the sacrifical protection on all others during the batlle of hogwarts
in conclusion dumbledore did everything right

1. Quirrell was the muggle professor first, and did not have Voldemort on the back of his head when he was fired. Lockhard was the only one who applied for the job. No one got hurt when Lupin was a student which was for 7 years, so why would he hurt someone when he became a professor? Dumbledore had known Moody for years, and Moody was resposible for filling up half of Azkaban, and he never took drinks from others to protect him from poison, so why would Dumbledore double check on Moody? and noone applied for the DADA in Harry's 5'th year, so the ministry decided to give it to Umbridge to keep the students in line.
2. Dumbledore didn't suck, he just did what he could to finally defeat Voldemort.
3. The houseelfs didn't want to be freed, it was only Dobby. The others saw it as an honor to work, so it's more confusing than saying noone supported freeing houseelfs, they just knew houseelfs wouldn't want that.

I'm an adult. Any adult who thinks that Dumbldore sucks is short-sighted and did not take in the books properly.
I'm not going to go into a rant but if you're an adult and you believe that Dumbldore sucks then you're obviously in need of some more years in the oven. Only a child could read those books and come to such a basic conclusion.
Albus is a complex character. He is arguably the most complex character in the entire book series and only an adult with a sharp and properly enlightened mind will be able to read in between the lines and take in all his complexities to be able to appreciate the character properly.
You'll know when you've done that cuz you'll start to realise that you feel more sad for Dumbldore that you feel angry at him.

I know Snape himself can be a controversial character, but I feel one thing not brought up enough is how the Marauders actually tortured him. and got away with it. Sirius actively tried to murder him, and Dumbledore did nothing about it except swear Snape to secrecy about Remus. The pensive scene is also horrific, and yes, of course, Snape shouldn't have called Lily a mudblood, I don't think that excuses the marauders either. Still, until they think Sirius was a traitor, he was still considered a golden boy. Both Minerva and Albus are all praise for James. Also, James's continued harassment of Lily for seven years until she says yes is seen as a great live story, harassmentthat included actual harm to her best friend, whom he deemed a 'competitor'.

The thing about House Elves being slaves is they like it this way. As long as they aren't being abused, they're very happy with their lives serving their masters. It's been a while since I read the books, but I think I remember a mention of Dumbledore trying to introduce them to being paid and they rejected it. Dobby was happy with his freedom because he was being abused by the Malfoy's several times a day, every day. When Winky was freed, she would get drunk and cry all day because she wanted to go back and serve her masters. Hermione trying to free the elves through SPEW annoyed them and was insulting to them. House Elves are slaves, because that is precisely what THEY want to be

Honestly can't remember if I thought about it as a kid but, they were starving him mum, there were bars on his windows, totally brushed off. Letters sent to the cupboard under the stairs. No one asked or cared why Harry hated the dursleys, they, adults in general, had a good idea what was going on there but Dumbledore knows best Every adult on the light side acted against their conscience regarding harry or anything really when it came to Dumbledore, even if they told him they didn't agree, Dumbledore gives some claptrap and oh well then Just a little of the messed up stuff, it drives me bonkers.

This last point is interesting bc house elves are less pronounced in the movies.
For those who did not read the books the Hogwarts kitchen is run by a mass of house elf slaves. So all the food for all the students and staff for each meal is prepared and served by these elves.
In the movies, you only see Dobby and Kreacher briefly. Also Hermione's opinion against their treatment is never brought up.
I might be wrong on this last point, but if I remember right, I think Dumbledore is the master of the Elves that work in the kitchen.

The fat shaming in the books is about the way that the Dursleys are actively harming their child by spoiling him in every way, just like Augustus Gloop in Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Over feeding your child to the point of obesity is harmful and dangerous and has life long consequences the whole point wasnt to shame Dudley but to shame the way his parents were raising him and to show the comparison how they underfed and ignored Harry. J K was purposefully using the extremes of each to show that neither way is good!

I don't know how background checks would help. Lockhart fooled everybody, whole wizard world, about his deeds. Moody was replace by death eater like day before school started long after any background check would be made. Quirell was teaching in Hogwart for at least few years before he sprouted Voldemort on his head, long after they would do background check on him. Question with Moody and Quirell is why, despite Dumbledore being so smart and powerful, it took like year to figure out what's wrong with them.

I never liked Harry Potter, the books were so boring I couldnt get through the first page of the first book. Funny enough I found the time turner on the playground as a kid and never knew what it was, one girl harassed me for weeks to give it to her. Never did give it to her. The adult bits in the movies were pretty damn obvious, same as Palpatine being obvious about his evilness. Sad how bad movies suck.

And can we also please mention the corruption, the inconsistency and the hypocrisy of the ministery of magic? The ministeries lack of self-critisism, selfreflection and selfimprovement. And their complete lack of logic and above all, lack of fairness. And worst of all, enforcing their way of thinking, working and behaving to everyone within the wizarding world and sometimes even onto the muggle world?

One other thing that shocks me, other than for plot, there is no reason the Weasleys, despite being poor, should be allowed a pet rat at school. The school notices with supply lists state clearly a cat, owl or toad ONLY. Yet, first Percy and then Ron get in no trouble whatsoever for bringing a rat. It seems that school rules are arbitrary.

I think that the enslavement to them is just like for us to eat meat. If a alien from another planet who only ate plants their entire life came to Earth, they would think that we are monsters who kill animals because we are sellfish, because there is other way, since there are people who are vegan they don't need to eat animals.

I think a huge part of the reason why Dumbledore never told Harry everything was BECAUSE he was a horcrux and Voldemort constantly had access to Harry's mind, so if Harry knew every little detail then Voldemort would as well. If Harry knew everything from the start, Voldemort would've likely won and taken over the world.

The worst thing about the Moaning Myrtle storyline in movie form was that the woman who played Myrtle was so much older than the rest of the cast. That bathroom scene hits hard when you consider that the kids were cast in age-appropriate roles and there's a 30 year old woman in the tub with Daniel.

Why are you expecting the characters to be perfect? Also society in our world allow Great crimes against humanity for the sake of profit and people just accept it as the way of the world. It is just harder to see just how profoundly sick our society is. but much easier to see in a fictional story.

4 and 1. How sensitive a world we live in. If watching myrtle in those scenes is hard for you then your a true Karen. Its funny and humor in a Harry Potter movie. As far as one goes no one cares. We care that dobby became free but no one looks back and says these elves need equal representation.

There's also the plot hole with Basilisk Venom that blew my mind once I heard.
Basilisk venom kills Horcruxes. Harry was bitten by a basilisk on The Chamber of Secrets, and it didn't kill the freaking Horcrux inside of him.

Dumbledore couldn't tell Harry certain things (like Snape, the Horcrux, etc) because of the connection he had with Voldemort, so if he told Harry, there was the risk that Voldemort would find out and leverage that.

it was only a matter of time that tom riddle killed harry. Dumbledore did a controlled demolition of harrys life, and i agree with Dumbledores plan, because it worked. Harry lived because of Dumbledores plan.

If Dumbledore told Harry everything, Voldemort would have access to the same knowledge due to their connection. And Voldemort is absolutely experienced enough to leverage that.

Lockhart enjoyed and encouraged women and girls to crush on him, imagine what could have happened if one of his students got her hands on a love potion and dosed him with it.

But the house elves wanted to work. I think freeing them all would have been a bad idea. The wizards knew this and Ron showed kindness to them along with Harry in the books
