Harry Potter Theory

A grain of sand on a lost beach. A tiny pebble lying unnoticed on the ocean floor. A fallen acorn buried under years of autumn leaves. A faded seashell washed ashore on an uninhabited island. These are just a few examples of the kinds of objects that I would use if I was in the position to create my own Horcruxes...And I'm sure the same can be said for a lot of you. Why? Well.. They're small, hard...

The introduction of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1692 marked a pivotal moment in Wizarding history.-It put a stop to the witch hunts and unjust persecution of witches and wizards. It ushered in an era of harmonious co-existence. And most importantly, it separated the two worlds: muggle and magical. But what IF there was a darker element to the statute that has never been properly explor...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. This is part 1 of a video series where I'll be diving in to the Harry Potter books and taking a look, chapter by chapter, at all of the mistakes that were made. Starting with book 1: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I'm going to be placing a particular focus on instances in which factual errors were made or canon was somehow contradicted. Trivial errors lik...

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Now- we've all heard of the Unforgivable Curses - three of the most forbidden and dangerous spells in the wizarding world. Casting any of these, whether it's the Cruciatus Curse, the Imperius Curse, or the Killing Curse, is considered such a heinous crime that it's punishable by a life sentence in Azkaban. But this got me thinkin...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. I'm coming to you today with a bunch of updates on the Harry Potter franchise as a whole- including news about the TV show, upcoming sequels, WizardingWorld.com, and more! This is a NEW style of video that I'll be making from time to time to help everyone get up to speed with everything HARRY POTTER. I've got 5 bits of news to cover in this one, so let's dive in to...

Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In my last video I discussed 7 Harry Potter theories that are so inconsequential and likewise plausible that they are hard to deny. Theories with such little evidence against them that, for the most part, we can all agree they likely have a basis in reality. In my last video, it seemed like many of you agreed with my picks, so today we're divi...

Within the theorydom, there are some pretty absurd Harry Potter theories out there. And I'll admit, I'm likely responsible for quite a few of them... However, even when I present more rational theories, they often face their fair share of scrutiny. There are usually a number of ways in which even a fairly IRONCLAD theory can be challenged. But every once in a while a theory comes along with so few...

With the new Harry Potter TV Show on the (still fairly distant) horizon, more and more details about the show are slowly being unravelled. However, one recent bit of news that came to light a few days ago has left fans a little distraught...

At the time of writing this, Ollivander's Wand Shop has been supplying the wizarding community with the finest wands money can buy for nearly 24 centuries, having first opened its doors as far back as 382 BC. I know I know, this date DOES seem a little far-fetched, but rest assured that it has been confirmed as canon. And it was during that year that the original 'Ollivander', the ancestor of Garr...

I question the Harry Potter books A LOT. But there's one thing in particular that I've always more or less accepted at face value with no regard for HOW it actually unfolds. And that THING is HOW the Ministry (and others) communicates with what are essentially amortal wraithlike spirits that (as far as I know) do NOT possess the ability to speak. I'm of course talking about DEMENTORS. Adding even...

On the surface, Azkaban seems like a pretty good idea- mainly due to its effectiveness. It's on a far-off remote island, it has a fortress designed to keep the most dangerous criminals at bay, there are perpetual storms surrounding the island, AND there's an army of Dementors working as prison guards.- And that's just the PHYSICAL side of things. Mentally, the prison is an absolute nightmare. The...

2 weeks ago I released '7 Major Events BEFORE The Harry Potter Story Started'- the first part of a 4 part series where I discuss events that took place PRIOR to the books and films. Harry Potter lore is a lot deeper than some people realize, so today we're going to be winding the clocks back once again and exploring 7 more significant events in Harry Potter canon. The last video left us in the ear...

Hey everyone, Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. I come to you with news regarding the upcoming Harry Potter TV series. I'll kick things off with the update and then I'll dive in to some more details of the project for those who are interested. Following the Emmy Awards last week, HBO's CEO and chairman, Casey Bloys, provided some fresh new details regarding the upcoming and hi...

Blood status has been a controversial and longstanding source of division and prejudice in the Wizarding World, and it all stems from the categorization of magical bloodlines into pure-bloods, half-bloods, and muggle-borns. And while I don't condone demonizing any of these groups and certainly don't want to contribute to further prejudice, I can't help but wonder if there are actual physiological...

Just recently I made a video on 7 things that occur after the Harry Potter story ended, that is, after the books and films concluded. This helped to introduce an element of closure to those who were wondering what may have happened next for Hogwarts, the trio, and the Wizarding World at large. And today we're going to be sticking to that same theme but flipping it on its head, exploring major even...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the MOST powerful wandless magic within the wizarding world at large. Within the Harry Potter series, it's hard to imagine the majority of the scenes that focus on magic - WITHOUT wands. There are just SO many important and pivotal scenes that all revolve around these magical devices. From the more innocent scenes of The Philosopher's Ston...

The legend of the Deathly Hallows is one of the most well-known stories in the wizarding world. Passed down through generations, it tells the tale of three wizard brothers who encounter Death and are each granted a powerful magical artifact: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak.- And what all 3 of these powerful items have in common is that they are able to perform ex...

What if I told you that Hogwarts still holds untapped secrets from its founders - hidden chambers located DEEP within the castle that haven't been accessed for centuries? Everyone knows about Salazar Slytherin's infamous Chamber of Secrets- there's a whole book named after it! But have you ever considered that maybe...Just maybe..the Other founders of Hogwarts had a few secrets of their own? Today...

September 1st marks Back to Hogwarts Day- an annual event celebrated by Harry Potter fans which holds significance because it's the day that students in the Harry Potter series return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the new school year. The event often includes fan gatherings, online celebrations, and special activities hosted by various Harry Potter communities and platforms. Se...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today discussing wizarding prisons. A few months back I broke down all of the known SCHOOLS in the international wizarding community, and today, similar to that, I'm going to be pivoting to international prisons. Everyone knows Azkaban, but do you know the other 7?- Let's dive in to it. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at...

With Back to Hogwarts Day fast approaching, I started thinking about all of the young witches and wizards that will experience the Wizarding World for the first time. For many of them, it'll be their first time at platform 9 ¾, first time on the Hogwarts Express, and first time walking through the front doors of Hogwarts school. But one key aspect of this integration process that got me thinking p...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the many reasons why Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, famed Headmaster of Hogwarts and former Gryffindor student, may have been more well-suited to Slytherin House. As fans, soon after Harry Potter received his letter of acceptance and we were first introduced to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, we also learned about the...
