Where Did Mad-Eye Moody Get His Eye?

Where Did Mad-Eye Moody Get His Eye?

Alastor Moody was one of the prominent Aurors in the wizarding world. He was a crucial member of the Order of Phoenix and fought passionately in both wizarding wars. Though renowned as a brave soldier, Moody was also peculiar and a fanatic for vigilance, and he was nicknamed “Mad-Eye” Moody due to his detachable eye. However, we readers know that Moody did not always have a detachable eye – he was severely injured in the First Wizarding War, leading to facial scarring and a lost leg and eye. But we want to know: Where did Mad-Eye get his eye?

      What We Know

Before we theorize on this puzzle, let’s get some of the facts stated. 

  When and how did Moody lose his eye?

Through the Pensieve, Harry notices that Alastor’s eye is still intact in the trial of Igor Karkaroff.

Harry leaned forward so that he could see past Dumbledore. Mad-Eye Moody was sitting there – except that there was a very noticeable difference in his appearance. He did not have his magical eye, but two normal ones. Both were looking down upon Karkaroff, and both were narrowed in intense dislike. (GoF 588)

During the trial of Barty Crouch Jr., Bellatrix Lestrange, and Rudolphus Lestrange, Moody is not present. Perhaps he was injured during the altercations with them, and there could be a possibility he lost his eye during this duel with the Death Eaters. 

  The eye was specially designed for Moody.

    The detachable eye that Moody wore after losing his eye was specifically designed for him. After gaining his eye back from Barty Crouch Jr., who impersonated him using Polyjuice Potion, the eye began to malfunction, stopping mid-rotations. And though it was designed for Moody, the color is strikingly different from Moody’s original eye color.

  The eye had special powers.

This detachable eye was one of a kind. It could rotate 360 degrees in Moody’s head, allowing him to see through the back of his skull. The eye also allowed him to see through nearly anything else, whether wood or an invisibility cloak. 

  Now that all the facts about the eye are known, let’s circle back to the question: Where did Mad-Eye get his eye, or who designed Mad-Eye’s eye? Perhaps Moody himself built and enchanted the eye – or there could be someone else, who was elite and extraordinary in magical artifacts. Our guess for who constructed the eye is Albus Dumbledore. Here’s why:

      Albus Dumbledore used the Elder Wand for the eye.

After defeating Gellert Grindelwald, Dumbledore possesses the most powerful wand in existence. Therefore, he could use strong and complicated spells on a prosthetic eye to make it magical and powerful, like we see in Moody’s eye. For instance, perhaps it uses a modified Revelio for viewing through invisibility cloaks and surfaces, etc.

  Dumbledore gifted the eye to Moody as gratitude for his loyalty.

As is well known, Dumbledore always prioritizes loyalty and allegiance. He has witnessed Moody’s relentless and brave efforts fighting the Death Eaters and saving his fellow Aurors. Dumbledore may have been immensely moved by Moody’s loyalty towards the Order of Phoenix and him, and he built the eye as a token of his gratitude. For a personal touch, the eye is electric blue in color – the same shade as Dumbledore’s eyes.

  Alastor Moody trusts Dumbledore and vice-versa.

If the ever-paranoid Moody were to receive the eye from someone else, he would only accept it from someone he truly trusts. He has always trusted and respected Dumbledore, making the headmaster a perfectly acceptable source of the gift.

  Dumbledore is known for curating artifacts.

Dumbledore is credited for designing and creating the Deluminator, a cigarette-lighter-sized device that can extract, store, and return light sources. We know he had a knack for creating and experimenting with various other objects; hence, it could be feasible that he also created the eye.

  Dumbledore experimented with the eye with the invisibility cloak.

We know Dumbledore borrowed the cloak from James Potter to experiment on it. After James Potter was killed, the cloak remained in his possession. We know some of Dumbledore’s interest in the cloak was as a Hallow, but why couldn’t he have used it for more experiments as well? After the Potters’ deaths and Voldemort’s vanishing, Moody lost his eye. As we have theorized that Dumbledore designed the eye, it makes sense Dumbledore could have also used the cloak to experiment with the eye, rendering the eye more magical and powerful.

  Do you like this theory of Albus Dumbledore designing the eye for Mad-Eye Moody? Are there any other theories you have in your mind? Let us know in the comments.

written in red (ootp) - harry james potter x fem!reader

you and harry had only been dating for a few weeks, and everything still felt new and unsteady. being friends first made it easier in some ways, but the shift into something more left room for awkward moments neither of you quite knew how to handle.

like this one.

harry had come into the gryffindor common room late, his footsteps quiet but deliberate. he stopped short when he saw you sitting at one of the tables, your head bent over your work, your free hand tucked under the table.

“hey,” he said softly, stepping closer.

you glanced up, startled, before quickly moving your hand to your lap. “harry. what are you doing up?”

“couldn’t sleep,” he said, slipping into the chair across from you. “what about you?”

“just… catching up on work,” you said, your voice quieter than usual.

harry’s brows furrowed as he leaned forward. “you okay? you look—” he hesitated, his gaze flicking to your hand. “—tense.”

“i’m fine,” you said quickly, but your eyes darted away from his, and you tucked your hand further into your lap.

harry’s frown deepened. “y/n… what’s wrong?”

“nothing,” you said, your voice rising slightly in defensiveness.

he tilted his head, his green eyes soft but insistent. “can i see your hand?”

your stomach twisted as you shook your head. “it’s nothing, harry.”

he reached out, his fingers brushing yours lightly. “please?”

his voice was so gentle, so full of worry, that you hesitated before slowly placing your hand on the table.

his eyes immediately landed on the angry red words carved into your skin: i must not be late. his face darkened.

“she made you use that quill,” he said, his voice quiet but filled with anger.

“it’s not a big deal,” you said, trying to pull your hand back, but he held on gently, his thumb brushing over the scar.

“not a big deal?” he repeated, his voice rising slightly. “y/n, she made you carve this into your hand. how is that not a big deal?”

“she does it to everyone,” you said, avoiding his gaze. “it’s just how she is.”

harry shook his head, his grip on your hand tightening slightly. “that doesn’t make it okay.”

“harry, it’s fine,” you said, glancing up at him. “really. it doesn’t even hurt that much.”

he didn’t say anything for a moment, his thumb tracing over the words like he was trying to erase them.

“you shouldn’t have to deal with this,” he said softly, his eyes meeting yours. “you shouldn’t have to hide it.”

your cheeks warmed at the intensity of his gaze. “i didn’t want to make it a big thing,” you admitted.

“it is a big thing,” he said firmly. “you can tell me these things, y/n. that’s… part of this, isn’t it?”

you blinked, surprised by his words. “yeah,” you said softly. “it is.”

he nodded, his expression softening as he squeezed your hand gently. “next time, just tell me. okay?”

“okay,” you said, a small smile tugging at your lips.

he didn’t let go of your hand, and neither of you moved for a moment, the silence stretching out between you. it wasn’t awkward, though—it was warm, comforting.

“does it still hurt?” he asked after a while, his voice quiet.

“a little,” you admitted, glancing at your hand.

he frowned, his thumb brushing over the scar again. “i wish i could do something about it.”

“you are,” you said, your smile growing. “just… being here helps.”

his cheeks turned a bit pink, but he smiled back. “good.”

and as he continued to hold your hand, his touch gentle and reassuring, you realized that maybe this whole “dating harry potter” thing wouldn’t be so awkward after all.

I don't know why, I just felt like writing this

---------------------------------------------------------------

Harrys hand burned. There was this indescribable pinching feeling, this kind of pain that he couldn't describe. But more than anything, his ego hurt.

He examined his hand. The words "I must not tell lies" were cut into the back of his hand in a way that it looked like his messy scrawl.

Now what should I do about this? He thought to himself.

If Ron and Hermione saw, they would tell him to go to Dumbledore. But he couldn't do that. That would mean that the nasty little toad wins.

Harry had skipped quidditch practice and dinner was already over. No one was supposed to be in the halls. He kept examining his hand and pondering over what to do when he bumped into a tall black mass.

Harry stumbled back and looked up to see who he ran into, "Proffesor Snape", he said surprised.

Snape took one look at his face and grabbed his hand. Harry knew it was no use to try to pull away from Snape's vice-like grip. He could see Snape's eyes tracing the gashes across his skin.

And then without another word, he released Harrys hand and left, cloak billowing behind him so he looked like a bat.

---

It smelled vile. The fumes coming from his concoction smelled like something that shouldn't exist in the world.

And the potion looked a nasty brown shade when it should've been an emerald green. Well that was that, he failed his assingement.

The sharp pain in his hand dulled down to a sort of itchy irritation.

He might as stop trying to save his assignment and continue staring at Draco Malfoy, whos brow was furrowed in concentration.

cute, Harry thought.

A clink of glass against the table interrupted his Malfoy staring session. He looked up to find Snape hovering over him, "take one swig before bed every night", Snape said with his usual disdain. "And your potion looks miserable," and then he stalked away to inspect Nevils potion which started to bubble ominously.

---

It couldn't hurt to try it, Harry thought after a solid 10 minutes of staring at the vial that Snape gave him.

The light blue liquid shimmered at him placidly.

Unless he's trying to poison you...., a voice at the back of his head said darkly.

Compelled by some unknown forces, Harry opened the stopper and took a swig of the potion. He wiped his mouth with the back of his sleeve, taking off any residual blue substance.

Then suddenly he noticed a relief. A sort of cooling down in the itch on his hand.

And the cause of this relief was Snape of all people.

---

It had been a week since he had been regularly going to detention in Umbridges office. And although the potion had stopped the pain, it did nothing for the scarring and Harry, as foolish as he was, couldn't put aside his ego to ask Snape for help.

It could be a trap...He told himself.

He might just be trying to gain your trust, Harry thought.

His train of thought wandered as he began contemplating on ways that Snape would try killing him. He even got so invested, that he didn't notice Snape, hovering near a suit of armor, seemingly waiting for him to walk by.

"Potter" Snape said with his usual contempt.

Harry jumped, scared out of his mind, This is it, this is how I die, and I never even got the chance to tell Draco I love him-WHAT, NO, I DONT LIKE DRACO, WHY WOULD I EVER THINK THAT?

"Come with me" Snape said to him as he stalked of, leaving Harry to scamper in his wake, trying to process what he was doing with himself.

---

"This is what that ministry midget is doing, see?" Snape yelled, brandishing a confused Harrys wrist at Dumbledore. Harry awkwardly stood next to Snape with his hand shoved Infront of Dumbledores face.

Dumbledore said nothing, just started calmly at Snape.

"WHY ARE'NT YOU DOING ANYTHING?" Snape yelled at him.

This came as quite a shock to Harry, first of all, he had never seen Snape lose his composure, and he never expected him to lose his composure...over Harry of all people.

"Well, what did you expect Severus, this is how she plans to exact disipline over my school" Dumbledore said placidly.

Snapes face started to go red, lets just say that he didn't expect to go back to the common room anytime soon...

---

tbh I don't really know how to end this....

Same energy

[vlada12r4322]

I think Sirius's escape from the house of black is never really portrayed properly. NO , he was not DISOWNED . Not exactly, to be honest.

Sirius says ( in the HP OOP ) that he left because he had had enough of his family. And I think saying that he was some poor kid who was disowned takes away from his story. He's not a brave Griffindor because he joined the order. It's because he fought against his parents and ran away.

This is what gives Sirius Black his individually, his pride, and it's also what makes it a cruel fate to Regulas. It's not Regulas watching his elder brother thrown out of the house. It's about Regulas watching Sirius abandon him in the purist ( Maybe abusive ? The book only says they were purists ) household .

Sirius CHOSE to run away to the Potters.

I would also like to mention the fact that Andromeda did not take him in . Which likely suggests that she had either completely cut her family off or she probably did not care enough ( Sadly, the second one is more probable since Andromeda was in touch with the order and knew about what was happening regarding Bellatrix and Narcissa , she would have known that Sirius ran away from home. )

Andromeda and Sirius are very similar and opposite people. They both ran away from the house of black , they were blood traitors, and can be seen as selfish as well. Andromeda ran away for love because she fell in love with a muggle. Sirius ran away out of hatred , he hated his family.

Both these characters are extremely interesting. i would love to see them explored with their canon flaws and dynamics!

Harry Potter and the Lack of Ginny's Personality

New Post has been published on https://bit.ly/4a8DZqQ

Harry Potter and the Lack of Ginny's Personality

Many readers of the Harry Potter series were shocked when one of the strongest female characters appeared in the film completely robbed of her personality. The films portray Ginny Weasley as simply the sidekick’s little sister or the hero’s girlfriend. Readers, however, know her as much more than that. For those of you who don’t know, here are five things changed about Ginny in the films.

  Owning Her Trauma

In the Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix film adaptation, Harry keeps himself separate from the group out of fear. While film Ginny lets him do so, book Ginny gives Harry the hard truth: “‘[T]hat was a bit stupid of you,’ said Ginny angrily, ‘seeing as how you don’t know anyone but me who’s been possessed by You-Know-Who, and I can tell you how it feels” (OOTP 23).

      Female Equality

Ginny, the only daughter of seven children, is often shown to defend herself to her brothers. One such moment missing from the film is when Ginny tells Ron, “[i]f you went out and got a bit of snogging done yourself you wouldn’t mind so much that everyone else does it” (HBP 14). Her reproach to his hypocritical behavior helps to set her as someone who won’t accept chastisement for having a love life.

  Dumbledore’s Army

Readers of the books know that the name of the rebel group is actually proposed by Ginny Weasley, who shows her understanding of the political landscape when she says, “[L]et’s make [DA] stand for Dumbledore’s Army because that’s the Ministry’s worst fear, isn’t it?” (OOTP 18). 

  Supportive Nature

While some parts of Ginny’s character are clear even on screen, her love and support of Harry Potter shines much more clearly for readers than it does it the film. Though Ginny does not want Harry to be out hunting Horcruxes, she isn’t surprised: “I knew you wouldn’t be happy unless you were hunting Voldemort. Maybe that’s why I like you so much” (HBP 30).

  Source

  Ride or Die

Ginny’s determination and strength aren’t only applied to her relationship with Harry but also her friendships with the other characters in the book. She does not hesitate to stand up for Hermione – “Don’t call her a Mudblood!” (OOTP 23) – when bigotry comes in to play.

  With book moments and quotes so powerful, it begs the question of why so much of Ginny’s character was carved out of the films. Was it simply for lack of time? Why not showcase a female character with strength and personality? Do you think that the upcoming television adaptation will incorporate more of the book characteristics or will viewers get more of the same? While we wait to find out, make sure to vote for your favorite book-only moments!

MORE HARRY POTTER MEMES

[l-egionaire]

You know, I remember that line in Order of the Pheonix where Hermione says the Ministry would realize Sirius wasn't a real Death Eater when they start rounding up real ones, partially because he doesn't have the Dark Mark, but......why would that be evidence? Like, the story behind Sirius was that he was a spy in the Order for Voldemort, so why WOULD he have the Dark Mark? Having it would blow his cover.
