Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Gellert Grindelwald, and why he never chose to pursue immortality via Horcruxes. In Harry Potter, Horcruxes are one of Lord Voldemort's deadliest weapons- objects that anchor his soul to the mortal realm and prevent him from dying. The creation of a Horcrux requires an act of murder, as it involves tearing the soul apart, and it is considered...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be diving in to the very WEIRD world of Harry Potter knock-off novels. Now, given the worldwide popularity of the Harry Potter franchise it shouldn't be surprising that it'd spark a couple of knock-offs. Some of these novels continue the story and blatantly reuse Rowling's characters, while others create their own 'original' characters that seem...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing fan theories regarding what people THINK Harry Potter did to Voldemort in order to defeat him, as well as what ACTUALLY took place during The Battle of Hogwarts. Before we can dive into fan theories and accurately analyse the final duel that takes place between Harry and the Dark Lord, we must first understand the many things that NEEDED t...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the rise and fall of Ranrok, leader of the infamous Goblin Rebellion in the late 1800s.

With the support of his fellow goblins - a rebel group w...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing a list of four major things that magic simply CANNOT do. As any witch or wizard will tell you - especially the ones who were Muggle-born - magic can do A LOT of things. It can make tidying up your home or flat a rather quick and easy task. It can literally knock the wand out of another person's hand or make things levitate off the ground....

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing everything we know about Harry's life BEFORE he discovered he was a wizard and became a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Lily Potter, formerly Lily Evans, was a Muggle-born witch who grew up in the En...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the history of the all-wizarding village of Hogsmeade. Located in the Scottish Highlands near the unplottable castle of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hogsmeade Village is presumed to have been founded around the same time as the neighbouring school, putting its establishment around the 10th or 11th century. As such, Hogsmeade...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing whether or not Gringotts is the ONLY wizarding bank in the ENTIRE world. Gringotts Wizarding Bank is one of the very first magical locales that Harry Potter gets to experience upon discovering that he is a young wizard.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be taking a look at ALL of the KNOWN languages of magical beasts and creatures within the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, from A to Z. Sadly, there are actually no magical languages that start with A...B...C...D...or even E. In fact, the first "language" that we'll be taking a look at isn't even really a language at all...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. In this video we're going to be discussing what is arguably the most important date in Harry Potter lore as a whole- and that is the day that Lord Voldemort travelled to Godric's Hollow to murder the Potters. I'm covering this video today in commemoration of the day that it happened, 39 years and 1 day ago. Most of you probably know why Voldemort travelled there on...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing how exactly Harry Potter's mum, Lily Potter, felt about the divisive - yet devoted - character of Professor Severus Snape. Since the release of The Deathly Hallows, it has become common knowledge - for those of us interested in Harry Potter lore - that the once reviled Severus Snape had actually lived nearly his entire life in servitude to his...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're discussing how it is that wands in the wizarding world of Harry Potter are "quasi-sentient" - aka somewhat ALIVE. Although technically inanimate objects, the wands of witches and wizards in Harry Potter are often thought of as having sentient capabilities, meaning that they are able to consciously observe, react and emote in certain situations. Of cours...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the 10 most HATED characters in the wizarding world. Now, let me preface this list by saying that not all of these people are evil- in fact, some of them aren't evil at all. We must remember that being evil isn't the only prerequisite for being hated- some of these characters are just outright ANNOYING and OBNOXIOUS. Some of them made it on to...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing why Professor Albus Dumbledore was in limbo. Throughout the Harry Potter series, Albus Dumbledore journeys to many a strange and magical place throughout both the wizarding and Muggle worlds. From the mundane streets of Privet Drive to the Inferi-riddled cave that housed one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, it sometimes seemed like no location wa...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing whether or not killing Albus Dumbledore split Professor Severus Snape's soul in two. Over the course of the Harry Potter series, it was revealed that Lord Voldemort was able to split his soul into several pieces by committing murder, performing a dark arts ritual, and housing those bits of his soul in different vessels, scattering them across...

For someone to sacrifice their body and soul so many times, don't you think they would do just about ANYTHING to protect their newly made Horcruxes? Especially, since Voldemort made them in an effort to achieve immortality. Wouldn't he want to protect them so that he could live forever? Why in Merlin's beard wouldn't he have done absolutely EVERYTHING in his power to keep them safe, to hide them?...

Who was more powerful: Sirius Black or Dolores Umbridge? Welcome back to Harry Potter Theory. For those of us who think this question has an obvious answer, we might blindly claim Sirius as the mightier wizard. But others, who consider this question carefully, know that it's not as simple as black and white. Sirius Black was one of the greatest duelists in the entire Order of the Phoenix. But Dolo...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the 10 LARGEST magical creatures- the behemoths of the wizarding world. This list was particularly difficult to make as the exact specifications of each creature (height, weight etc) are not easy to come by. Suffice to say, the honourable mentions list following the main list is pretty long as well. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/priv...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Harry Potter actor replacements. As a series that spanned an entire decade, it's no surprise that Warner Bros found itself forced to recast actors and actresses. You might have noticed some of these, but others, probably passed you by. Today, we're going to take a look at all the recastings, big and small, and see what changed between the film...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be discussing the reason that the powerful magical artefact known as the Goblet of Fire DID NOT REFUSE to choose a fourth participant during the 1994-1995 Triwizard Tournament. According to legend, the Goblet of Fire was crafted by an unknown witch or wizard sometime in the Middle Ages. Made of wood and filled with blue-white flames, the Goblet is large...
