Harry Potter Art of the Tale of Three Brothers

"There were once three brothers who were travelling forth a lonely, winding route at twilight —"

— Hermione Granger reading the story aloud^[src]

The Tale of the Three Brothers was a fairy tale frequently told to wizarding children. Believed to exist written by Beedle the Bard, it was published as part of a collection of his works chosen The Tales of Beedle the Bard.^{[1] [2]} While most wizards viewed this story as 1 that taught children morals, such every bit humility and wisdom, others believed that the story referred to the Deathly Hallows, three highly powerful magical artefacts coveted by generations of wizards.^[1]

Many also believed that the 3 Peverell brothers were the inspiration for the story and that they first obtained the artefacts known as the Hallows. Anyone who managed to possess all three hallows was said to be a Master of Decease.^[i]

Story

Three brothers, travelling forth a lonely, winding road at twilight reached a deep treacherous river where anyone who attempted to swim or wade would drown. Learned in the magical arts, the brothers conjured a bridge with their wands and continue to cantankerous.^{[1] [ii]}

The Death in the bridge

Halfway through the span, a hooded effigy stood earlier them. The figure was the enraged spirit of Expiry, cheated of his due. Expiry cunningly pretended to congratulate them and proceeds to award them with gifts of their own choosing.^{[1] [2]}

The eldest blood brother, a antagonistic human, asked for a wand more powerful than whatever in beingness. Death granted his wish by fashioning the Elder Wand from a branch of a nearby elder tree continuing on the banks of the river. The second brother, an arrogant man, chose to further humiliate death, and asked for the ability to retrieve the deceased from the grave. Death granted his wish by crafting the Resurrection Stone from a stone picked from the riverbank. The third and youngest brother, who was the most humble and wise, did not trust Death and asked for something to enable him to go forth without Expiry being able to follow. A reluctant Decease, most unwillingly, handed over his own invisibility cloak.^{[ane] [2]}

The three brothers took their prizes and soon went on their split up ways.^{[1] [2]}

The eldest blood brother travelled to a village where a sorcerer whom he had quarrelled lived. He sought out a duel and fought the magician using the wand, instantly killing the latter. Leaving his enemy expressionless upon the floor, the eldest brother walked to an inn not far from the duelling site and spent the nighttime there. Taken by his conscience and lust of the Elder Wand's ability, the eldest brother boasted of this wand gifted past Death and his ain invincibility. That very night, a murderous wizard killed the eldest brother. The unknown murderous sorcerer crept to the inn equally the eldest brother slept, drunk from vino. The magician slit the oldest blood brother's throat for good mensurate and stole the wand. That was when Death took the outset brother for his own.^{[one] [2]}

"Greeting Death as an erstwhile friend, they departed this life as equals."

The second brother returned to his habitation where he lived alone. Turning the stone thrice in his hand the effigy of the daughter he had once hoped to marry, before her untimely expiry, appeared at one time before him, much to his delight. Yet she was pitiful and common cold, separated from him as by a veil. Though she had returned to the mortal world, she did non truly belong there and suffered. Finally, the 2d brother, driven mad with hopeless longing, committed suicide by hanging from his firm' balustrade so as truly to join her. That was when Expiry took the 2d brother for his own.^{[ane] [two]}

Death searched for the youngest brother as years passed but never succeeded. It was only when the tertiary brother reached a great age, he took off the Cloak of Invisibility and gave information technology to his son. Greeting Death as an old friend, they departed this life as equals.^{[1] [2]}

The Deathly Hallows

"Death had an Invisibility Cloak?"

— Harry Potter, listening to the story^[src]

Death and the Three Brothers with the Deathly Hallows

The three objects mentioned during the tale were believed by some to be the Deathly Hallows, the most powerful magical objects of their kind in existence. The Elderberry Wand was the unbeatable wand of the oldest brother, the Resurrection Rock was the stone given to the second blood brother that could bring dorsum the dead, and the Cloak of Invisibility was the cloak given to the third brother that could hide the wearer even from Death.^[1]

It was believed that whoever succeeded in uniting all iii of the Hallows would become the Master of Decease. Xenophilius Lovegood, Gellert Grindelwald, and Albus Dumbledore were amid those who believed in the existence of the Hallows and sought to reunite them.^[1]

The fate of the Hallows

The eponymous three brothers were believed to have been modelled after three actual wizard brothers built-in somewhere around the British wizarding village of Godric's Hollow during early 13th century: Antioch, Cadmus, and Ignotus Peverell.^[1]

Antioch was the oldest brother, who likely crafted every bit well as possessed the Elder Wand that was passed down not by inheritance only through combat.^[1] It became the property of whoever won information technology from its previous master and held a long and encarmine history until it came into the hands of Albus Dumbledore, who sought to change its infamous reputation and use it for the skillful of others.^[3] Later his death, the wand came into the possession of Draco Malfoy, who won the wand by convincing Dumbledore the dark he died. Presently later on, Harry Potter became the main of the wand later on disarming Draco at Malfoy Manor. After Harry defeated Lord Voldemort and came into concrete possession of the Elder Wand, he decided to keep it rubber and hidden from the world so that upon his death, it would become masterless and cause no further harm to the earth.^[iv]

Cadmus was the second brother, who likely crafted and possessed the Resurrection Stone, which passed downward through his descendants until it came into the Gaunt family, who placed it within their signet ring. Marvolo Gaunt was known to have possession of it, until information technology changed hands to his son Morfin Gaunt, and and so to his grandson Tom Riddle, who turned it into a Horcrux and hid it away under the floorboards of the Gaunt Shack in Trivial Hangleton, placing a powerful curse on it equally protection.^[5] The ring was ultimately discovered by Albus Dumbledore, who contained the expletive in his hand with help from Severus Snape,^[half-dozen] whilst the stone was ancestral to Harry Potter,^[seven] who intentionally lost it in the Forbidden Forest.^[8]

Ignotus was the youngest brother, who probable crafted and possessed the Cloak of Invisibility. This Cloak was passed downwards initially through his male descendants, only entered the Potter family afterward the union of his granddaughter Iolanthe Peverell to Hardwin Potter, and was somewhen given to James Potter. Before James died, Albus Dumbledore had asked to see the Cloak, and even so had possession of it until he passed it to Harry Potter on Christmas Day during Harry's first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,^[9] and remained in his possession throughout the 2d Wizarding State of war.

Media

"One of the things that got me excited about it in the early on stages was the question of what it should look similar. Nosotros knew it was going to exist stylised, only non exactly how. The producers came along with the suggestion of creating something in the vein of Lotte Reiniger, an Austrian-born animator working in the 1930s and 50s doing silhouette style animations. What we got out of that was a certain simplicity and naivety. Nosotros knew it had to be told very graphically with assuming silhouettes. But Ben and I were peachy to make sure it wasn't just that, that at that place was something else we could add."

Behind the scenes

• Albus Dumbledore wrote an essay on the story.^[two]
• It is possible that this story's moral is that "one will run across their demise untimely if it was for extreme greed", as the power-hungry Antioch Peverell asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence and he was the offset to die. Cadmus was as well greedy but non as much equally Antioch, he was the second brother to dice. Only the youngest brother who was a apprehensive man asked for a matter that he could utilize to live a long and happy life. And thus because of this he attained a great historic period and passed The Cloak of Invisibility to his son.
• It is also possible that the moral is that one tin not escape death, but only delay it, and that eventually, ane must take death in former historic period and "depart as equals"
• In the volume The Tales of Beedle the Bard that was released into the Muggle customs, Dumbledore notes that the belief that possessing all three Hallows will give you lot power over death contradicts the story entirely.
• In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, the scene where Hermione Granger reads this story is replaced with an animated shadow-play sequence which Hermione narrates. It was the first and simply time a fully blithe scene was used in all eight movies.
  • In The 50 greatest Harry Potter moments documentary, Emma Watson said that she found the narration difficult to practise because her lines had to be right with the animation.
• The scene in the video game is the same every bit that in the film, but the figures in the shadow play are interpreted differently - the characters take more flesh, and death is represented past a skeleton.
• LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 features a playable department based off this story. It features the iii brothers walking downwards a route to a village and using the powers of their respective Hallows to progress past obstacles. At the end of the section, Death flies in and literally takes the three brothers away, with Ignotus only barely having time to pass the Cloak off to his son.
• Quite a lot of fairy tales characteristic three brothers. The i commonly known as The Three Brothers concerns non about cheating death simply which of three sons would inherit a house.
• According to J. M. Rowling, The Tale of the Three Brothers is loosely based on Geoffrey Chaucer's The Pardoner's Tale.^[11]
• The story itself also may accept been based off the fairy tale, "Three Baton Goats Gruff", in which the characters were depicted every bit animals who managed to systematically outsmart the danger that lurked beneath the bridge, a troll, by exploiting its inherent stupidity. The only deviation is, while the goats managed to avert the danger by cooperating as ane, the Peverells took down their ain path of life. It also takes some inspiration from the "Three Little Pigs", where information technology depicts what happened afterwards upon the siblings after what happened on the run into over the bridge and how they fared after it.
• There have been some speculations that the three brothers correspond to Harry Potter, Severus Snape, and Tom Riddle, with Harry corresponding to Ignotus (who lives to an old age), Severus corresponding to Cadmus (who dies for lost love), and Tom respective to Antioch (who dies for power). This also corresponds with the club of the ages of the brothers. An extension of this theory suggests that Albus Dumbledore corresponds to Death, the figure that all iii brothers see on their journey. When a user on Twitter asked J.K. Rowling what her favourite fan theory was, she responded with this one saying, "It's a cute theory and it fits."^[12]
  • Alternatively, it can be argued that Dumbledore is the third brother since he both greeted decease voluntarily and handed the cloak to Harry as the story states that the 'father' gave the cloak to his 'son'. Begetter here existence Dumbledore and Son beingness Harry.
  • Some other possible interpretation may be that the office of Snape as Cadmus is replaced by Albus Dumbledore, whose death was caused past attempting to use the Stone, specially since ultimately it was his choice to stop his life.
