1. Merlin

So I've only recently gotten into the HP universe. Watched both HP and Fantastic Beast movies and recently started on the books. I had a few questions involving various characters and the world in general

Apologies if these seem like simple or dumb questions

1. Who is a more powerful Dark Lord? Grindlewald or Voldemort? To me, I'd have to say Grindlewald ,for a few reasons, He has a better Story (At least so far. Haven't finished the books, and I imagine it's quite different to the movies) and He seems to have done more than Voldy.

2. How powerful is Harry? Does he have the potential to be as powerful as Dumbledore? Or is he more average.

3. Is there any information on HPU's version of Merlin? I've always been fascinated with Arthurian Legends so I was wondering how they did him, if any information exists.

4. Assuming it works as "Schools of Magic" Is there a list of sone kind? How does the magic work in the world?

5. What are Patronus(es)? Do they determine anything such as power, magic afinity or character?

6. Aside from the Elderwand, Are there any other wands that are powerful or special in sone way?

7. Magical Schools. Aside from Hogwarts, how many others are there and where are they?

Edit: Another question, I know Gryffindor has "The Sword of Godric" but do the other houses have special items or weapons?

Not a lot is known about Merlin. And nothing is known about his parents. So i have a theory.

So in real life, in the myth of Merlin, he was born half-demon, half-human, which is how he has his powers.

Now, what if it's similar in HP lore, but the demon was a Wizard. Muggles due to their prejudice may have thought his father was the "devil", and that's how the myths were created.

What do you all think?

How does Hogwarts Professor System works? The youngest Professor at Hogwarts was Snape at age 21. But I was looking at Merlin's and Salazar Slytherin's pages and based on their birth year, when Merlin was 11 Slytherin was the youngest, 17 and a Professor at the moment.

Edit: Merlin's and Salazar's noted birth years are not specific

2. If Merlin had the Elder Wand

3. Me (Slyther-puff)

I am a proud Slytherin (or sometimes I consider myself a Slytherclaw). Slytherin is very underrated. A lot of people consider it the “evil house”, but there are many good wizards from there. Take Albus Severus, Merlin, and Severus Snape (even though he has flaws). Slytherin is the house of cunningness and determination, not evilness. Cmon, Slytherin gang! We’re awesome! And sometimes overprotective too. Kat out.
