What is a Blood Pact?

So what is a blood pact?

You may have stumbled upon it whilst watching Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. We had small teasers of it throughout the film and only during the third act of the film was the audience told about it and what it is able to do.

Firstly, the film stipulates that Dumbledore and Grindelwald had created a blood pact which meant that could not seriously harm one another, this later would be regretful for Dumbledore as he could not attack Grindelwald thus send Newt Scamander on his travels instead.

The oath between them both meant they couldn’t fight each other, this was because during this time both parties were extremely close. However, it meant that as Dumbeldore couldn’t fight Grindelwald, it also, in turn, meant that Grindelwald couldn’t eliminate the one person who stood in his way, Albus Dumbeldore.

Wizards Guide to Using a Muggle Telephone – 5 Steps

Greetings wizards, today we are going to help you use one of the muggles most used devices, a mobile phone.

1) Buy a mobile phone (Make sure you have a good camera as taking ‘selfies’ is what muggles like doing)

2) Unlike in the wizarding world, you always need to charge your phone. Electricity is important in the muggle world.

3) Download some apps, these are things that muggles use to pass the time. Unlike in the wizarding world where we have magic, muggles get bored easily and need apps to pass time.

4) When in a muggle town, take normal pictures instead of moving ones. Muggles will find it strange if the picture you took started moving. Take the photos with your muggle phone and not a magical one.

5) Instead of sending messages by owl, always send messages throughout text or other messaging apps. If muggles see you attaching a piece of paper to an owl it could set off alarms, so by using messaging apps it saves time and you won’t look strange.

Why Harry Potter was the ‘Chosen One’

“For neither can live while the other survives… the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…” (OotP pg 841/741)

This extract from Order of the Phoenix outlines that the ‘Chosen One’ will be born in July. Throughout the story so far we had always assumed it was Harry, however Dumbledore said that “The other was Neville Longbottom.” (OotP pg 842/742) This clearly shows that Neville could have also been the ‘Chosen One’.

The reason to why Harry Potter became the ‘Chosen One’ is that Voldemort had chosen him instead of Neville that night many years ago. If he had chosen Neville, then it may be the case that Neville Longbottom would have been the ‘Chosen One’.  Neville had possessed extraordinary abilities (though hard to imagine). Initially we would not have imagined Neville joining Dumbledore’s Army, however he does and he even eventually becomes confident with magic.  Along with this he had the same characteristics Harry did by showing extraordinary bravery when he helped join Harry to save Sirius Black at the Ministry of Magic. Also at the Ministry, Neville had a prophecy orb, however he later smashed it not knowing the content within.

They both had parents in the Order, they both eventually had the same bravery and magical ability, however it was evidently Voldemorts choosing that led to Harry becoming the ‘Chosen One’.
