The three brothers - CONFIRMED THEORY!!!
There were once three brothers who were travelling along a lonely, winding road at twilight ....
In time, the brothers reached a river too deep to wade through and too dangerous to swim across. However, these brothers were learned in the magical arts, and so they simply waved their wands and made a bridge appear across the treacherous water. They were halfway across it when they found their path blocked by a hooded figure.
And Death spoke to them. He was angry that he had been cheated out of three new victims, for travellers usually drowned in the river. But Death was cunning. He pretended to congratulate the three brothers upon their magic, and said that each had earned a prize for having been clever enough to evade him.
So the oldest brother, who was a combative man, asked for A wand more powerful than any in existence: a wand that must always win duels for its owner, a wand worthy of a wizard who had conquered Death! So Death crossed to an elder tree on the banks of the river, fashioned a wand from a branch that hung there, and gave it to the oldest brother.
Then the second brother, who was an arrogant man, decided that he wanted to humiliate Death still further, and asked for the power to recall others from Death. So Death picked up a stone from the riverbank and gave it to the second brother, and told him that the stone would have the power to bring back the dead.
And then Death asked the third and youngest brother what he would like. The youngest brother was the humblest and also the wisest of the brothers, and he did not trust Death. So he asked for something that would enable him to go forth from that place without being followed by Death. And Death, most unwillingly, handed over his own Cloak of Invisibility.
Then Death stood aside and allowed the three brothers to continue on their way and they did so, talking with wonder of the adventure they had had, and admiring Death’s gifts.
In due course the brothers separated, each for his own destination.
The first brother travelled on for a week or more, and reaching a distant village, sought out a fellow wizard with whom he had a quarrel. Naturally, with the Elder Wand as his weapon, he could not fail to win the duel that followed. Leaving his enemy dead upon the floor, the oldest brother proceeded to an inn, where he boasted loudly of the powerful wand he had snatched from Death himself, and of how it made him invincible.
That very night, another wizard crept upon the oldest brother as he lay, wine- sodden, upon his bed. The thief took the wand and, for good measure, slit the oldest brother’s throat.
And so Death took the first brother for his own.
Meanwhile, the second brother journeyed to his own home, where he lived alone. Here he took out the stone that had the power to recall the dead, and turned it thrice in his hand. To his amazement and his delight, the figure of the girl he had once hoped to marry before her untimely death, appeared at once before him.
Yet she was sad and cold, separated from him as by a veil. Though she had returned to the mortal world, she did not truly belong there and suffered. Finally, the second brother, driven mad with hopeless longing, killed himself so as truly to join her.
And so Death took the second brother for his own.
But though Death searched for the third brother for many years, he was never able to find him. It was only when he had attained a great age that the youngest brother finally took off the Cloak of Invisibility and gave it to his son. And then he greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, equals, they departed this life.
We all know the classic story that i kindly pasted above for all of you muggles out there, the story about the three brothers from the famous Harry Potter. There are a lot of theories about who the three brothers might in fact be, above there are some ahum photo possibilities, but i think the answer is pretty clear. The three brothers are Antitoch Peverell, Ignotus Peverell, and Cadmus Peverell . I am assuming you muggle lot don’t know who these people are so i am willing to show you who they were, and the objects they owned that match up with the story.
Antitoch Peverell was a combative man and skilled in the art of magic. He was traveling one day when he came upon death who asked what he wanted and he responded with
“A wand more powerful than any in existence: a wand that must always win duels for its owner, a wand worthy of a wizard who had conquered Death!”
So thus came to be the elder wand (which for you muggles looks something like this)
So he gets this wand and eventually it finds a home with the famous Albus Dumbledor. Albus looks like this:
Ignotus was the origional owner of the reserrection stone given to him by Death. That is really all you need to know about the guy. The reserrection stone looks like this:
Yup folks, this is the stone that gives a wizard immortality! It belonged to Nicholas Flamel from book 2 until it was later destroyed for the good of the wizarding world.
Now this is supposidly the brother that wanted the cloak of invisability from death and recieved it. The cloak is invisable so i wont try to find photos because i am sure they are ehhum unavailable. The cloak was passed down to James Potter who had Albus Dumbledor give it to Harry, his youngest son and our hero.
So there you have it muggles, these are the real people the story was based on. Its not Snape, its not James, its not Dumbledor; it is the following people above, thank you for listening to my PSA confirmed theory!
