This is going to be a bit of a world shatterer.
Wouldn’t it be a cruel and tragic twist if the one witch whose love was powerful enough to defeat Voldemort… Was herself the victim of a love potion? And that the purest act of love in the entire wizarding world came from someone who never truly understood her love for her own husband?
What if, beneath the surface of their famous love story, there lurked something much more…Sini...

A while back I made a video called ‘Why Didn't Voldemort Try to RECRUIT Grindelwald?’, and basically- the focus of that video was why Voldemort never made any attempts to recruit an imprisoned Grindelwald at Nurmengard. On both occasions that Voldemort rose to power, Grindelwald was sitting in a locked tower, so it always felt a bit peculiar to me that he wouldn’t have tried to recruit the most powerful resource at his disposal..Es...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. In today’s video we’ll be briefly touching on a few bits of news related to the much-anticipated HBO Harry Potter TV Series. If you don’t know what this show is by now then I don’t really know what to say..Other than it’s impressive that you’ve managed to avoid it somehow.
The show has been a talking point on this channel for years now — and what once felt like a far-fetched rumor has slowly becom...

Hey everyone,
Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.
Over the many years that I’ve done YouTube, I see variations of the same comment pop up on my videos all the time — “Where does all this extra information come from?”
And to be honest, this is a fair thing to ask, because very often I go BEYOND the 7 books and pull information from things like extended publications, interviews and most pertinent to today...

In my last video I discussed how the Harry Potter film franchise effectively butchered Voldemort’s character by omitting huge portions of his backstory. I then went on to argue that WITHOUT these character tidbits (well, tidbits if they were massive..what’s the MASSIVE version of a tidbit?) it’s nearly impossible to properly understand Voldemort’s motivations as a villain. Why is he obsessed with immortality? Who were his parents? ...

Bold statement here, but if you never read the books- then I’m not sure you understand Voldemort’s character as well as you might think. Because interestingly, despite Voldemort being the primary antagonist in the books and films, as well as arguably the second most important character (next to Harry, of course)- a lot of his origin story actually never made it onto the big screen.
Sure, we get some bits and pieces as the films...

A couple of months ago I made a video discussing the fate of Voldemort’s AFTER his final defeat in the Deathly Hallows. And although Voldemort’s death looks fairly different from book to film- DISINTEGRATING into a thousand pieces in the films and simply falling to the ground with mundane finality in the books- one thing remained the same: Voldemort’s soul was completely and utterly destroyed.
And unquestionably this was due to ...

In a clip that just surfaced online, we got footage of an interview with Ralph Fiennes where he seems to accidentally reveal the name of the new VOLDEMORT in the upcoming HBO series.
I’ll play the clip then let you know my thoughts.

What if Snape Never Switched Sides?
This one’s going to be a doozy.
Severus Snape is perhaps one of the most important characters in the Harry Potter series.
He was the man who first delivered the prophecy to Voldemort.
He was the man trusted with secrets powerful enough to decide the outcome of the war.
He was the man who protected the son of the woman he loved, even when that boy hated him.
And perhaps most importantly,...

A while back I released ‘7 Major Events BEFORE The Harry Potter Story Started’ parts 1 and 2- segments of a series where I discuss events that took place PRIOR to the books and films.
Harry Potter lore is WAY deeper than some people realize (maybe not tolkien level deep, but that’s asking a lot), so today we’re going to be winding the clocks back once again and exploring 7 more significant events in Harry Potter canon. The las...

Running a Harry Potter channel, I get to see a LOT of opinions. And I mean A LOT. Which means that at any given moment, I’ve got a pretty good idea of where the fandom sits on a particular issue. For example: The Cursed Child is FAIRLY universally hated among Harry Potter purists, enjoyable to casuals, and probably the best thing they’ve ever seen to people unfamiliar with the story altogether. OF COURSE there’s nuance here, as I f...

Peter Pettigrew is remembered..Almost exclusively as a coward and a traitor.
A man who betrayed his closest friends, sold out an innocent family, and aligned himself with Voldemort purely out of fear.
And after Voldemort’s first downfall, he faked his own death, framed a childhood friend for his crimes, and spent over a decade hiding in the shadows—quite literally—rather than face the consequences of his choices.
And yet…

"Did you know, sir? Then?..."
"Did I know that I had just met the most dangerous Dark wizard of all-time? No."
These were the words exchanged by Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore after taking a glance in to the Pensieve and observing Dumbledore’s first encounter with a young Tom Riddle. And it’s these words that clarify WHY Dumbledore saved Tom, invited him to Hogwarts, and gave him a magical education. Because you see, Dumbl...

“How come you’re not in Ravenclaw?” he demanded, staring at Hermione with something close to wonder. “With brains like yours?”
Ravenclaw student Terry Boot asks Hermione this directly in Order of the Phoenix, during the DA’s first meeting in the Hog’s Head. And, unsurprisingly, Terry Boot is not the only person to have ever thought about this. In fact, since the Harry Potter books first came out, one of the most pervasive questi...

What if I told you that there was a witch from Harry Potter lore that, despite possessing levels of power similar to the founders of Hogwarts..No one really talks about.
This witch, known more commonly for her title as a ‘sorceress’ was known for her extraordinary magical abilities—so much so that her name became legend, even beyond the wizarding world. Her mastery over spells and enchantments rivaled that of the most powerful s...

What if Muggles KNEW about magic?
About witches, wizards, wands, spells and flying broomsticks.
And what would they say if they knew that some of these magical folk could teleport across the country in seconds…
erase memories with a flick of the wrist…
and kill without leaving a trace?
Today we’ll be answering a question that the foundation of the Wizarding World was built to avoid: What would happen if the muggles found out a...

Today we’ve got a bit of an interesting one. Earlier this year, I made two separate videos—one ranking the most powerful wizards, and the other ranking the most powerful witches. In those videos, I covered ten of each.
And today, just over 10 months later, we’re going to pitting them against each other and taking a closer look at what the top 20 most powerful looks like..When both groups are ranked together.

If we go strictly by canon, then the only elves that we’re ever made privy to in the Harry Potter universe are house-elves—beings bound to magical servitude, owned by wizarding families, and expected to obey without question. But in one of my previous videos—The History of House-Elves—I introduced the idea that house-elves are likely not a natural, original species at all, but rather the end result of something that happened to el...
