About: Merlin (TV series)/WMG   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

It is established in Harry Potter canon that Merlin exists and that he was one of the most powerful wizards imaginable. Also in Harry Potter, a lot of the magic is ebbing in quality, which would make sense given the absence of wands in Merlin. Some wizards in Harry Potter can perform wandless and/or wordless magic, but the wizard must be extraordinarily powerful, not many can. It would make sense if magical spell quality is decreasing that this ability is everywhere in magic users in Merlin. Wands don't even exist in the show, suggesting that they aren't needed and haven't been made. Merlin might have had something to do with the founding of Hogwarts, or at least influencing it's founders, as he himself has had a lonely childhood because he was the only one able to do magic in his village

Merlin might have had something to do with the founding of Hogwarts, or at least influencing it's founders, as he himself has had a lonely childhood because he was the only one able to do magic in his village and had to keep it a secret. He feels for Morgana when it is revealed that she has magical powers for the same reason. It makes sense that he would want to help young people separated from other magical users. This would mean that Merlin (and for that matter, Morganna) is, in fact, muggle-born... an extremely interesting interpretation that many pure-blood families in Harry Potter would be outraged about. There are, also, pure-bloods in Merlin, the druids, for example, of which Mordred is a member. This era could very easily be the reason that there is hatred towards muggles, and by extension muggle-borns, in older pure blood families given Uther's hunting down of magic users. * I've thourght about this too, and do kind of make sense... Only problem is, that in Harry Potter it is said that Merlin went to Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin... (Source: Pottermore) * Time messes things about. Could be a mistake.
