Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Before we get started, let me clarify what we’re diving into today: this video is all about the things we learn about the Harry Potter story after the series ended—little tidbits of info that Rowling shared outside of the books. These are the hidden nuggets of lore you’d only know if you kept up with interviews, Pottermore updates, or extended publications. Things...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, I’ve got a special compilation for you, featuring some of the darkest witches and wizards in wizarding history. Some of these names will be familiar, while others are much less well-known. However, one thing is certain: each of these witches and wizards has a rightful claim to the title of the darkest and most evil in wizarding history. So, if you want to be an expert on DARK WIZARDS then this...

There are quite a few mistakes and plot holes in the Harry Potter books and films. In fact, there are enough for me to make several compilations of them. However, perhaps one of the most confusing and inconsistent elements of the Wizarding World is undoubtedly the ‘Trace’- a fairly major plot component that is riddled with contradictions.
To the Harry Potter casual, these issues with the Trace probably went by relatively unnoticed...

"A magic this powerful can do great harm in the wrong hands. It must be wielded by a select few."
This fairly ominous quote of course refers to the phenomenon that is Ancient Magic—a primal, mysterious force that predates the more structured spellwork of the modern Wizarding World. Revered for its immense power yet feared for its unpredictability, ancient magic is woven into the tapestry of wizarding history, appearing in legends ...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be discussing some of the most important figures - both famous and infamous- from Wizarding History- names that are coupled with accomplishments and stories that make the Wizarding World what it is today.
The Harry Potter books really only cover the time period that the books are SET IN, but there’s a lot more to Harry Potter lore than meets the eye and It’s always interesting t...

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. From the moment HBO’s new Harry Potter TV Series was announced in April of 2023, fans of the series have been buzzing with questions and excitement. Questions like..What will the series be about? Will it stay true to the original books? And most importantly, who will be in charge of the project?
And since then, a lot of these questions have been answered.
But p...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be discussing exactly how the genetics of witches and wizards work, with a focus on where the heck SQUIBS come from.
If you’re a fan of Harry Potter and the works of fantasy fiction in general, you’ve likely asked yourself the question: Where does magic come from? In some universes it would seem that magic can be acquired or learned. But in others—like the wizarding world of Harry Potte...

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.
In what seems like just the last couple of years (but in reality has spanned nearly a DECADE), Warner Bros. has faced some challenges when releasing new Harry Potter IP- particularly the "Fantastic Beasts" film series. These high-budget films which dropped in 2016, 2018, and 2022 respectively struggled to find traction at the global box office and didn’t quite hit...

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-to-locate, and perhaps most import...

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 explored?- an element that concerned th...

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 like typos / grammatical issues will ...

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 thinking... What other acts in the Wizarding...

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 diving into 7 more of these theories.....

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 holes that..For the most part, Po...

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 Garrick Ollivander, was thought to hav...

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 more mystery to this question is ...
