In this episode I explain the true meaning of the Tale of the Three Brothers. Enjoy!
Summary: The Tale of the Three Brothers was a driving force for Harry and his friends on his journey in the Deathly Hallows. However, the story might not just be a children's story. I think there are four people in the Harry Potter universe that fit into the story's three brothers and Death. Death is Dumbledore. In the Tale of the Three Brothers, Death is pulling the strings. He has a goal, and it works out the way he wants. Death gives the three brothers the items they seek. Those items led there owners to their deaths. The plan worked. Dumbledore did the same thing. He had a plan for the three brothers in the Harry Potter universe to die. Dumbledore did give all three people items that did the same thing as in the story as well. Voldemort is Antioch, the oldest brother. This works for obvious reasons. Both Antioch and Voldemort wanted as much power as a person could have, and they both got killed because of it. Snape is Cadmus, the second oldest brother. This also seems to be very simple. Cadmus wanted his deceased bride to return from the dead and be reunited with him. Snape wanted the same for Lily. For both men, their loved ones were killed and both Snape and Cadmus died. Finally, Ignotus is Harry. Ignotus gets the invisibility cloak for his wish. Dumbledore, Death, gives Harry, Ignotus, the invisibility cloak as well. Ignotus uses his cloak right up until the second he dies, when he take it off and gives it to his son. Harry, takes off his cloak in the forbidden forrest right when Voldemort kills him too. All the strings match, and they fit too.
