Hey brother!

Okay, so like I think we can all agree that the way that ghosts work in Harry Potter

0:10.0

is like a little unusual, like they can float through walls but then they also for some reason

0:15.8

seem to be able to like displace water and that's weird because the water also

0:19.5

seems to not like slow them down at all they can still just go straight through it so why

1:21.5

On the other hand, though, Harry's polar opposite.

1:24.3

Voldemort himself's greatest fear is dying. He has gone to such great lengths to not die and

1:32.1
