Harry Potter Theory

Goblins and wizards have never exactly seen eye to eye...Literally and figuratively. The short-statured humanoid creatures have long since been the subject of considerable prejudice within the Wizarding World, with Wizardkind often looking down on them both physically and socially.- And it's this discriminatory attitude that has led to tension and conflict over the centuries, as well as widespread...

Have you ever wondered why the witches and wizards of new are so..WEAK? The Hogwarts founders from the 10th century were supposed to have been 4 of the most skilled witches and wizards that the magical world had ever seen, with proof of this being the impressive magical institution they left behind. Then of course there's Merlin - another 10th century wizard that is supposed to have been the most...

In the Goblet of Fire we are introduced to schools outside of Hogwarts for the first time. And while Hogwarts remains a top choice for many aspiring witches and wizards, the truth is that there exists a VAST world of magical education beyond the familiar walls of Hogwarts. There may not be as many options as say..Muggle schools..That much is obvious, but according to JK Rowling there are actually...

The consequences of tampering with the soul are not limited to the dark magic of Horcruxes. The wizarding world is fraught with other sinister forces that prey upon the soul, leading to outcomes just as terrifying. Among these, Dementors stand out as one of the most feared creatures, embodying the very essence of despair and hopelessness. Unlike Horcruxes, which represent the deliberate, self-infl...

Over the years I've discussed hundreds (if not THOUSANDS of theories) about the Wizarding World at large. I try to challenge aspects of the story (within reason) and build arguments to convince YOU that these theories hold merit. HOWEVER, there is also a time and a place for SHOCK value, and I think it's safe to say that the theories contained in today's video are some of the most shocking to date...

To say that the Harry Potter books and films ended a long time ago would be a severe understatement. As of writing this, it's been a whopping 27 years since the Philosopher's Stone was first published, and 13 years since the last Harry Potter film hit the silver screen. And while I feel that both mediums sufficiently developed the characters/story, reading the last few pages of the final book left...

When we think of WEALTHY individuals from the Harry Potter story there are a few people and/or wizarding families that come to mind.- First and foremost: The Malfoys- a wealthy, pureblood wizarding family known for their influence in the wizarding world and their affiliation with dark magic. The Malfoys built their immense wealth in 1066 when their distant ancestor, Armand Malfoy, arrived in Engla...

What if there was an ancient DARK wizard that POSED as one of the good guys for over 6 centuries? And what if I told you that he had EVERYONE fooled, INCLUDING Dumbledore and Voldemort? How could a seemingly benevolent wizard pull this off? What DARK deeds was he involved with? And how did he conceal his true nature from the Wizarding World for so many hundreds of years? Today we're going to be di...

Of the various Dark Wizards that have stained Wizarding History, very few have been able to perform the most sadistic of magical rituals: Horcrux creation. In fact, of the long list of dark wizards that have plagued the Wizarding World at large, only 2 or 3 names are known to have successfully created Horcruxes. The most infamous (and obvious) name that comes to mind is Lord Voldemort, who created...

Rubeus Hagrid, the beloved half-giant, is a character that has captured the hearts of readers and viewers alike. With his towering stature, wild mane of hair, and gentle nature, Hagrid serves as the Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Known for his unwavering loyalty to his friends, his fondness for magical creatures, and his penchant for getting into comical...

In the world of Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore stood as an iconic figure of wisdom, compassion, and unwavering leadership. As headmaster of Hogwarts School, his influence extended far beyond the walls of the magical institution, shaping the fate of the wizarding world itself.- Furthermore, Dumbledore's profound empathy and understanding of human nature set him apart as a leader who inspired trust...

For centuries, the dark art of creating Horcruxes has fascinated and terrified those who delve into the depths of magical history. The common narrative credits Herpo the Foul, an infamous dark wizard of ancient Greece, with pioneering this sinister method of achieving immortality. However, the truth is that the origins of the infamous Horcrux may lie shrouded in even darker corners of history.- Th...

Potion making is no easy feat.-- It requires years of studying, endless practice, and a deep understanding of magical ingredients. Each potion demands precision and patience, with the slightest mistake potentially resulting in disastrous consequences. From brewing the simplest healing draughts to concocting complex elixirs that alter reality, potion making is an art that few can master. And those...

Rubeus Hagrid's FIRST wand was rather bendy, 16" long and made of oak. It has been expressed that those with oak wands usually have an 'affinity with the magic of the natural world', that a 'bendy' wand signifies a high level of adaptability in personality, and that the significant length of his wand is representative of his large stature and enormous personality.- You can tell a lot about a perso...

In the Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid famously remarked that "There's not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin.".- But..There are a few big issues with this statement. First of all, it's factually incorrect. While the vast majority of the dark witches and wizards in the wizarding world were indeed at one time Slytherin students, it certainly wasn't all of them.- Second of all...

Although the Harry Potter books and movies were released some time ago, there continues to be an insatiable thirst for more content among fans of all levels. And while seven core books and eight movies might seem like a lot, it feels considerably less substantial when spread over 27 years - a milestone we've just reached, as the first book was published on June 26th, 1997. Since the last book came...

Hey everyone. Welcome to another instalment of Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be taking a look at some of the most well known characters who show up in the Harry Potter series, but whose Hogwarts houses are never identified. For anyone who's read or watched the Harry Potter series, the four houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are common knowledge. Based on the four founding mem...

"It is often said of the Malfoy family that you will never find one at the scene of the crime, though their fingerprints might be all over the guilty wand. Independently wealthy, with no need to work for a living, they have generally preferred the role of power behind the throne, happy for others to do the donkey work and to take the responsibility for failure. They have helped finance many of the...

Today we're going to be taking a look at one of the most beloved, innocent, and selfless characters of the entire series- Dobby.- Dobby the big hearted House Elf makes his first appearance in the Chamber of Secrets- when he enters the home of #4 privet drive at perhaps the worst moment imaginable- the same day that Vernon Dursley, Harry's terrible uncle, is having a very important business dinner....

The First major Wizarding War in the Harry Potter universe was a catastrophic period in wizarding history that lasted a whopping 11 years. The war started when Voldemort, obsessed with pure-blood supremacy, sought to overthrow the existing magical order and establish himself as the ruler of both the wizarding and non-magical worlds. The war officially ended on October 31, 1981, when Voldemort's cu...

Wands are a crucial and commonly discussed aspect of the Harry Potter series. They serve as the tool that allow witches and wizards to channel and harness their magical abilities.-- And throughout the series, the significance of wands is highlighted through the emphasis on wandlore, the notion of wand ownership, and the pivotal role wands play in duels and magical combat.- But for some reason...GO...

The Force in Star Wars is just Harry under an Invisibility Cloak. The Ford Anglia is Arthur Weasley’s Horcrux. Gandalf and Dumbledore are the same wizard. Harry Potter, Breaking Bad, Spongebob and REAL life all exist in the same universe. Lord Voldemort is a Pokemon. These are just a handful of the absurd theories I’ve seen posted online, and for the most part I try to center this channel around ‘...
