Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re discussing Voldemort, the wizarding war, and the magical community in the REST of the world. Voldemort was, perhaps, the most powerful dark wizard in the history of the wizarding world… He possessed an almost unbound mastery of magic. In one on one combat, he was able to effortlessly slice an opponent’s throat without uttering a word, and when his own mortality was put to test, he could evade death time and time again. So… if Voldemort was such a menace, why didn’t other heroic wizards and witches from the international wizarding community volunteer to help fight against him? During that final, terrifying year of the Second Wizarding war, why didn’t any other countries try to help? Where were the powerful sorcerers from Mahoutokoro in Japan? Or the masters of wandless magic from Uagadou in Uganda? There were at least eleven wizarding schools in the world at the time, and dozens of magical governments… and each one decided to leave the defense of Britain to a teenager named Harry Potter, and his terrified… and traumatized… classmates. Why didn’t anyone else help? Well, today, we’re going to try to answer these questions, and more… See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're discussing a few new Harry Potter plot holes. But for this video – rather than me theorizing these plot holes myself, I'm going to be covering my favourite ones that you – Harry Potter Theory fans – have come up with! As you may know, I've previously released a video on the topic of 10 HUGE Harry Potter Plot Holes (RANKED). At the end of the video, I requested, as I do in all my videos, for you to share your thoughts in the comments below. Some of you made excellent points on the plot holes I'd covered, offering additional details on a few and even possible explanations for others. Many of you, however, shared your own plot hole theories. And Merlin's Beard, might I just say, there were far too many great ideas put forth for them to go unacknowledged. So, in this video, I've compiled my favourite top 10 of YOUR plot hole theories.- Without further ado, let's let the magic unravel...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re discussing Harry Potter, Voldemort, and the special connection these two characters share. On one fateful late October evening (October 31st to be specific) in the year 1981, Lord Voldemort, at the height of his power, travelled to Godric’s Hollow and the home of the Potter’s. It was on this night that the course of history changed, as Voldemort had travelled there with one goal in mind: kill the boy.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be discussing Potioneers. Now, Potion making was no easy feat. - It required years of studying, and dedication to the craft. -Becoming an expert potioneer was a rare achievement, and unlike spellcraft, only a handful of potion makers are famous enough to earn spots within history texts at Hogwarts. While some became potion makers for money, others devoted their lives to the craft out of pure love. -Today, we're going to take a look at both types of potioneers, and see what type of impact they left on the wizarding world.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing spells. Specifically, the VISUAL aspects of spells.. Now, there are all sorts of spells and all kinds of different incantations, but one thing is for certain, the colour of a spell always attracts a lot of attention. Voldemort's avada kedavra- just wouldn't be the same without that sinister looking jet of green light emanating from his wand, and nor would Harry's bright red expelliarmus.- But, what I want to discuss today is- what do these different spell colours actually mean? Are they simply arbitrary? Or are we able to derive some sort of a relationship between the colour of the spell and the type of spell itself. What is the underlying meaning behind these spell colours?- I think that the most obvious and sort of go-to answer to this relatively unaddressed question is something like: green spells are inherently dark in nature, red spells are inherently powerful in nature, and white spells are inherently pure, good, and passive in nature, to name a few.- And I agree with those sentiments, for the most part. However, I believe that there is much more to it than that, and I want to peel back the layers and uncover what it is that makes spells these colours. Let's start by looking at a couple of common spell colours. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the Hogwarts Express and the UK national rail network. -WIth a platform that's invisible / inaccessible to muggles, and a rail line that heads to a magical school in the Scottish highlands, you probably won't be surprised to hear me say that the railway trip out to Hogwarts is unusual to say the least. Trains play a pivotal part in Harry Potter, with platform 9 ¾ and the Hogwarts Express both playing a crucial role in Harry's first trip AWAY from the Dursleys, and off in to the Wizarding World. But, have you ever wondered HOW this magical railway ride fits in to a preexisting national rail network? The UK National rail network to be specific. Does the Hogwarts express exist entirely independently from the rest of these trains? Or, does it share some of the same tracks? Does it transport some of the same passengers? Is the Hogwarts Express able to magically avoid collisions? What gives? See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing why Hermione Granger should have been with Harry Potter instead of Ron Weasley. For those of you who are primarily fans of the Harry Potter novels, or enjoy both the books and the movies, I imagine that this particular sentiment sparks outrage at the very mention of the idea. On the other hand, for all you movie loyalists out there, I'm fairly certain many of you are likely nodding your heads along in agreement. And it is for this EXACT reason that I'd like to further define today's topic – so that there is no confusion on the matter. That is, I only believe that Hermione should have been with Harry in the FILM adaptation of the Harry Potter series. Now, there are exactly three reasons for why I feel this way, and they ALL revolve around the liberties that were taken with Ron, Hermione, and Harry's characters when translating the books into films.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Albus Dumbledore, the Half-Blood Prince, Voldemort & the vicious curse with which Dumbledore was afflicted. Albus Dumbledore was the most powerful wizard of his era. And the sudden, tragic news of his death sent shockwaves throughout Britain. But while many mourned, others rejoiced. With Dumbledore out of the picture, Voldemort and his Death Eaters had removed the single, largest obstacle in their rise to power. And even though Severus Snape might have cast the final spell that killed the much beloved headmaster of Hogwarts, it was Lord Voldemort’s curse that truly murdered him. So you might be curious… what exactly did Voldemort do to Marvolo Gaunt’s ring, in order to have such a lethal effect? We’ll uncover that mystery, and more, in today’s video.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Voldemort, Bellatrix Lestrange, Death Eaters, and Horcruxes. Let’s kick things off with a brief intro on Horcruxes: “A Horcrux is created when a wizard takes an object and binds a piece of their soul to it. The purpose is immortality, with the logic going that as long as a piece of your soul survives within the object, then you can never truly die. It’s magic so Dark, so heinous, that it was kept a secret from most of the wizarding world. Yet despite many trying, there are only two known wizards to have discovered how to perform it: an Ancient Greek Dark wizard called Herpo the Foul, who created one Horcrux; and Voldemort, who mastered the spell and created seven. “ But, what I’ve always wondered is, why didn’t the death eaters follow in Voldemort’s footsteps and create horcruxes themselves? Surely Voldemort would have entrusted someone like Bellatrix with the knowledge of how to create one, wouldn’t he? Dumbledore once described Tom Riddles school gang as “a mixture of the weak seeking protection, the ambitious seeking glory, and the thuggish seeking a leader who could show them more refined cruelty”. It was these same students that are considered to be the forerunners to what-would-become the Deatheaters that we see later on in the books and films. Deatheaters are pure-blood radical supremacists that cast unforgivable curses without remorse, and torture muggles, half-bloods, and blood-traitors alike. Death eaters murder people willy nilly, so it’s not unreasonable to expect that they would be willing to MURDER to achieve immortality. Furthermore, the death eaters were hellbent on maintaining pure magical bloodlines in the wizarding community, and one very effective way of doing that would be to remain immortal AS a pure-blood. So, is it just that the Death Eaters were left in the dark by voldemort-unaware of what it was that he had achieved- or was it that the creation of a horcrux was just too imposing. After all, horcrux creation was even too dark to be properly mentioned in a book ABOUT the dark arts. The following quote from Voldemort suggests that at least some of the death eaters knew SOMETHING about what he had done...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re discussing Hogwarts’ loveable gamekeeper Hagrid. What do we really know about Rubeus Hagrid? The towering half-giant seemed to be a simple, content groundskeeper. But when we look back over the years, Hagrid’s life was filled with tragedy and all sorts of challenges. What happened to him? And how did he overcome everything? That’s what we’ll answer today… See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be discussing Harry Potter Events in the Medieval Period. Do you know the tale of Godelot the Dark Wizard? Or the history of early Quidditch? -How about the very first Triwizard Tournament? - - If you take a moment, and look back at the history of the medieval wizarding world, you'll find the answer to all these questions, and more. - So join me, as we trek back a few hundred years, and learn a thing or two about wizards and witches in the middle ages.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing WHAT IF Dudley Dursley, Harry Potter's volatile cousin, had turned out to be a wizard too? Now, although the mere idea of this what if scenario might have you immediately spewing profanities my way, you must admit that the chance that Dudley might have possessed some magical talent is not all that far-fetched of an idea. Why is that you may ask? Well, to start with, it's common knowledge that plenty of witches and wizards are born into Muggle families in which no other known relatives possess the ability to perform magic. Which, of course, brings us to my second point: this is the exact situation Lily Evans, Harry's mum, found herself in. As you likely well know, Lily's family was comprised entirely of Muggles, including her sister, Petunia, Dudley's mum. And although in adulthood, Petunia showed nothing but disdain for her sister's magical talents, even going so far as to call her a freak, we know from flashbacks of the girls' childhood that Petunia actually rather envied Lily's abilities and had wished to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry herself. In fact, as a child, she even sent a letter requesting admission to Professor Dumbledore. Sadly – yet very understandably – Petunia was gently let down by Dumbledore who could not allow admission of a Muggle to the school. Unfortunately, this only seemed to spurn her jealousy of Lily into blatant hatred and resentment. But alas...I digress...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re going to be discussing WHY witches and wizards in attendance at the Quidditch World Cup RAN AWAY from the invading Death Eaters- rather than stay and fight. Why weren’t the death eaters STOPPED? Yes, some did stay and fight, but of the vast numbers that attended, only an infinitesimal number stayed. What I wonder is, why? The International Quidditch World Cup was THE premier Quidditch contest- hosted every four years since it’s very first contest in the year 1473. The Quidditch World Cup allowed Quidditch players from all over the globe to find glory for their respective countries- as it represented the pinnacle of Quidditch competition. For this reason, it was exceedingly popular, with witches and wizards travelling from all over the globe to support their nation’s quidditch team. The result? More than a few boatloads of witches and wizards. We’re first introduced to this spectacular event in the Goblet of Fire.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing how Slytherin's GIGANTIC Basilisk survived inside of the teeny tiny Chamber of Secrets for 1000+ years. Hogwarts is big, but not THAT big, and the Chamber (though extraordinary) doesn’t seem nearly big enough to accommodate a 50 foot long serpent. We’re first introduced to the Basilisk - which was the horrific creation of Hogwarts founder Salazar Slytherin, in the Chamber of Secrets. Basilisks are enormous serpentine creatures, the existence of which can be attributed to their original twisted creator, a dark wizard by the name of Herpo the Foul. A common misconception is that SLYTHERIN created the first basilisk, where in reality he merely created his own- the same one that resides within Hogwarts’ secret chamber.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Tell me, if you lived in the wizarding world, what type of job would you want? Some of you might have thought about this question a time or two already. Perhaps you want to be an auror at the Ministry of Magic? Or a professor, at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. You might think those are great choices, but they’re actually a bit limited. There are hundreds of jobs to choose from in the wizarding world, and today, we’re going to take a look at a handful of some of the most interesting ones: from Troll Trainer to Magical Creature Breeder, and more.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the CREATION of the Marauder's Map. The Marauders' Map was one of the most important tools that Harry Potter used to fight against Voldemort's forces. It helped him discover Peter Pettigrew's true identity, Barty Crouch Jr. 's lies, and kept him one step ahead of Professor Snape. But have you ever wondered how the map was created? -And how it was directly related to Potter's father, James? Today, we're going to answer those questions, and more, as we look at the history of the Marauder's Map.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Hogwarts Legacy content, as over the past few months we've been given snippet after snippet of what's come to in the upcoming game. The planned release date for the game is December 2022, but with how many times it's been postponed so far it's really hard to say. If you aren't privy to Hogwarts Legacy, it's a new open-world role-playing Harry Potter themed game, where we (the player) embark on a journey in to the wizarding world. We're put in the drivers seat, and we can effectively interact with the wizarding world however we want. The game takes place in the late 1800s, over 100+ years before Harry ever steps foot through the doors of Hogwarts, but that doesn't mean we aren't going to come across familiar faces, places and the focus of this video- CREATURES. Today I'm going to be discussing 15 CONFIRMED creatures that will appear in some way in the new Hogwarts Legacy game. Let's dive in to it.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're looking at casting decisions made for the Harry Potter films. Now, I thought that the casting in Harry Potter was great- across pretty much all of the films, for pretty much all of the roles. There wasn't a single role where I felt that that the actor themself took away from the character- however there were of course some instances in which the film portrayal of the character didn't exactly fit with the book. I.e Bonnie Wright with Ginnie.- And while I think that the Harry Potter films did a fantastic job overall, I can't quite say the same for the Fantastic Beasts films, at least the ones we've had so far- they weren't bad, but definitely not as good as Harry Potter.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be discussing Harry Potter characters (from the books) that were that LEFT OUT of the movies. I feel like you can't really criticize the Harry Potter films THAT much. Unless the filmmakers decided to convert the films into a tv series, and devote 20 hours to each book, there isn't really anything they could do to make these amazing movies any better. It's never an easy feat to translate novels to the silver screen, but somehow, Harry Potter successfully pulled it off. - But... in the process, the filmmakers were forced to shave a few of our favorite characters from the final scripts. - And even though they had their reasons for doing so, I can't help but feel that something is missing without these incredible wizards and witches. -So, today, we're going to take a look at some of the characters who failed to make the jump to the big screen, and what they added to the Harry Potter mythos.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're tackling The Harry Potter films VS the Harry Potter books. Now- I was first exposed to the books, they were the first thing that I knew of Harry Potter- and I think that the general consensus among Harry Potter fans is that the books are superior- mainly because they have so much more detail- they're the original story. The films, on the other hand, took some liberties- some characters looked and even acted differently, plot points were omitted, and overall- they were just much more condensed. But, what did you expect? 6 hour long movies? I LOVE the Harry Potter films- I think they're great, and while the books did a lot of things better, and are-in my opinion-superior, it doesn't mean that there aren't things that the FILMS did better than the books. In today's video, I'm going to be touching on 20 things that I FEEL the films did better than the books. For the die hard book fans, try to watch this one with an open mind. This is going to be a mix of longer and shorter points, ranging from single lines/moments that were included/excluded- all the way to major shifts in the way that the films turned out.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Wormtail, Voldemort, The Potters, and the fabled Prophecy. More specifically, we're going to be addressing one very big question: WHAT IF Wormtail NEVER betrayed the Potters? When Peter Pettigrew first came to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it is said that the Sorting Hat took an entire five minutes before deciding to place him in Gryffindor. As we are to understand it, the Hat was wavering between Gryffindor and Slytherin, showing very early on that Pettigrew had inclinations towards the characteristics most seen in students of the green and silver House. That later became obvious after Sirius Black revealed Peter to be a traitor and Death Eater who had framed him for Pettigrew’s crimes, faked his own death, and lived as a rat for 12 years, Peter was actually quite clever, ambitious, and resourceful – the main characteristics of a Slytherin pupil. In any case, having been sorted into Gryffindor, he very obviously lacked the qualities of his fellow House mates – he was not particularly brave or courageous, and being that he was somewhat of an underdog himself, he never stood up for the “little guy.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing the Hogwarts house system- specifically, Ravenclaw house. Now, as we all know, the four houses of Hogwarts can be identified by very unique, defining characteristics- characteristics that allow these houses to stand out from the others. Hufflepuffs are known for their loyalty and hard-work, Gryffindors for their bravery, Slytherins for their cunning, and Ravenclaws for their knowledge and wisdom. Of course- I am talking in generalizations here- but if the sorting hat is anything to go by- it’s reasonably fair to summarize the houses based on the traits it preaches. The sorting hat DOES sort students in to houses, after all. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be discussing the Death Eaters, specifically, what happened to them AFTER the second wizarding war and the Battle of Hogwarts. Killing Voldemort didn't solve every problem that Harry Potter and his wizarding friends faced. Because there were still plenty of Death Eaters alive and well. -And nobody knows what exactly came of them... Today, we're going to take a look at a handful of the most dangerous Death Eaters from the Battle of Hogwarts, and try our best to figure out where they ended up.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're discussing the major differences between the book and film versions of..Harry Potter! Yes, that's right, today, I'll be going over the biggest variations between Harry as depicted in the novels versus the movies.- Right, so, as you may have seen over the last few weeks, I've released a couple other videos addressing the book-to-film differences of other Harry Potter characters. Specifically, I've shared my thoughts on the largest discrepancies between the novel and movie depictions of both Hermione and Ron. And if you have yet to watch them, I encourage you to check them out and share your thoughts with me in the comments! You can find both of these videos right here on the Harry Potter Theory channel.- Anyway, for those of you who have already watched the last couple videos on Hermione and Ron, you may have seen in the comments that there were quite a few requests for me to evaluate the major differences between Harry, the Chosen One himself!

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 films.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're looking at the biggest differences between Book and Movie Ron Weasley. -Ah, Ron Weasley. If you know him best from his character depiction in the Harry Potter book series, then the Ronald Weasley that you know and love is the courageous, quick-witted, and loyal best mate of Harry Potter. He's also the youngest son, and sixth child of Molly and Arthur Weasley. And while some of that remains true for Ron's character in the films, the majority of what's consistent between the books and the movies is – rather surface level. I mean, yes, Ron is one of Harry's bestest buds in the movies. And, yes, he remains the sixth son born to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. But, other than these superficial details, there are many more character-defining qualities that were either changed substantially for the films, or omitted completely. In this video, I'll be focusing on four of these major differences between book and film Ron.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be discussing Goblins & the Goblin Rebellion- lore from both Harry Potter AND Hogwarts Legacy. It probably wouldn't surprise you to know that the wizarding community didn't treat Goblins with the utmost respect at all times. - Pure bloods outright hated them. But even the most progressive members of the wizarding world felt a general mistrust for the tiny, monstrous humanoid-creatures. And all of those negative interactions built up over the years, burdening wizard-goblin relations, until the Goblins rebelled. In fact, If we open up our history books, and look back at the records of Goblins in the wizarding world, we'll find a series of great rebellions centered around one common theme: to be treated with equal respect. What were these rebellions? -And what type of impact did they have on the wizarding community? -That's what we'll discuss today. First, let's go over a bit of Goblin-wizard history.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Voldemort and how Horcruxes are made. For any witch or wizard, making a Horcrux is considered to be the worst kind of magic. In fact, it is a brand of dark arts that is thought to be so evil and revolting that it is intentionally never discussed and information on how to create one is very limited. For this reason, many witches and wizards don't even know what creating a Horcrux involves. And as it turns out, neither do we! But here's what we do know... The very first known Horcrux was made in Ancient Greece by a wizard named Herpo the Foul, and thousands of years later, Voldemort became only the second known creator of a Horcrux. Made from magic that is so terrible in nature that even dark wizards are horrified by what it entails, Horcruxes are creations that are unimaginable to the vast majority of the Wizarding World. So, when Voldemort made seven, it was a demonstration of just how incredibly evil he was. To make a Horcrux, a damaged piece of one's soul must be removed from the creator's body and put into an inanimate object or living host, making the creator immortal. In order to do this, the witch or wizard who wishes to split their soul needs to commit the ultimate act of violence and evil: murder. And not just any murder, they have to deliberately kill someone without regret or remorse. Acting in self-defence or retaliating in protection of someone else will not result in the ability to create a Horcrux. It must be done with the utmost evil intent, resulting in a metaphysical damaging of the murderer's soul. It's important to note that this fragmentation of the soul would occur after a murder of this sort, regardless of whether or not the witch or wizard intended to create a Horcrux. It's just that one who wishes to make a Horcrux then uses the damaging of their soul to their advantage. In any case, after they have killed their victim, the witch or wizard uses a powerful incantation to remove this damaged part of their soul from their body, placing it in a vessel outside of themselves, and then performing an UNKNOWN ritual to bound the fragmented soul to its new container. So, what exactly happens during this disturbing ceremony? See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Voldemort & Dumbledore's duel inside of the ministry atrium. This duel happened in the order of the phoenix, and it’s arguably the most impressive looking duel on-screen that we’ve seen to date. It was a duel of epic proportions- good against evil, light against dark- and it totally overshadowed all of the boring stalemates that Harry had with Voldemort. However, one thing that is completely worth mentioning is that their duel was represented very differently from book to film. The film adaptation certainly took some liberties with the contents of the book, and, rather than staying true to the picture that the book had initially painted for us, it mixed things up-most likely for increased cinematic and dramatic effect. But, in doing so, they actually portrayed the characters in a very different light than we had expected- and it was honestly quite inconsistent with what we had initially read in the books. If you only saw the film- you might be wondering: Why couldn’t Voldemort end Dumbledore right then and there?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re going to be discussing Sybill Trelawney and her role as a seer. Depending on how you look at it, Sybill Patricia Trelawney is one of the finest seers of her age. And she’s actually the one who correctly prophesied the fate that both Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort would share. But even though she correctly divined the destiny of the Chosen One, Trelawney seems to get a bad rap. And it only takes one quick glance at her to see why. With frizzled hair… an ancient, dust covered purse… and glasses as thick as coke bottles… Professor Trelawney doesn’t really give the impression that she’s able to see much of anything… let alone the future. But you might be surprised to know that this humble divination professor from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry correctly foresaw dozens of predictions and prophecies. And today, we’re going to take a look at the majority of them. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're discussing three major differences between the book and film versions of Hermione Granger. Of course, if you know even a little about the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, you know – or have at least heard of – the name Hermione Granger. One of Harry's two best friends, Hermione is the highly intelligent Muggle-born witch who has a reputation for her love of books and academia.- After being sorted into Gryffindor alongside Harry and Ron Weasley, the three develop a close friendship that only grows stronger as their years together at Hogwarts go on. Throughout the series, Hermione spends plenty of time at the Weasley home, along with Harry, and is present during most of Harry's epic adventures. And, while all of this may be true in both the Harry Potter novels and films, there are actually many major differences when it comes to this main character's traits. Naturally, slight differences between a character's physical appearance and personality are to be expected when translating a story from the page to the screen. It can be a difficult task indeed to adapt the dynamic characteristics of multiple beloved characters, especially, when you're dealing with a lengthy manuscript. For example, what can be expanded on in 800 to 900 pages of a novel, is incredibly difficult to cram into the confines of a two-hour movie version. And to that end, I've often encouraged fans of Harry Potter to, at least to some extent, view the novels and the films as two separate entities. Yes, of course, they are both set in the same Wizarding World universe. And, yes, the main characters from the books are present and accounted for in all of the movies. But, if you want the two stories to be the exact same representations of each other, you will be sadly disappointed. And the depiction of individual characters is no different. HOWEVER, certain liberties taken with the character of Miss Hermione Granger do bother me quite a bit – no matter how I look at it. So, with that in mind, let's dig into some of the key differences in Hermione's character portrayal between the novels and the films.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the Fantastic Beasts films. Specifically- the performance of Grindelwald by actor's Johnny Depp and Mads Mikkelsen. Now, when the Fantastic Beasts films first hit theatres, in spite of our awareness of Grindelwald's presence, we were all (at first) under the impression that the main antagonist was going to be Percival Graves, played by Colin Farrell. However, towards the end of the film it is revealed that Percival Graves was actually Gellert Grindelwald, played by Johnny Depp, in disguise. With that said, we only witness Depp's Grindelwald for a very brief period in this film. After the first film had ended and Grindelwald's true identity had been revealed, Depp ended up reprising his role as Grindelwald in 2018s Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. In this film, we got much more of a look in to Depp's portrayal of the famous dark wizard, and I certainly wasn't disappointed.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be diving in to a segment from the autobiography of JK Rowling, published over a decade ago on her old website, where she discusses the struggles she faced in life as she wrote the first Harry Potter novel. Among many other things, we find out how she chose the name ‘Potter’, who the Chamber of Secrets was dedicated to, how the book nearly failed completion, and how the book was eventually published.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're discussing MONSTERS. Now, in the past I've made several videos discussing various magical creatures- and I almost always refer to these 'creatures' as well, creatures or beasts. But today, we're going to be discussing a very different type of 'beast'- we're going to be discussing the MONSTERS of the wizarding world- that is, beasts so horrifying that they warrant their own terminology.- But, we're not just going to be discussing any old monsters, we're going to be tackling and listing off all of the known monsters found within the MONSTER BOOK of Monsters. If you aren't familiar with the Monster Book of Monsters, well, allow me to jog your memory. The book properly comes to our attention quite early on in the story, when Hagrid supplies Harry with the book for his 13th birthday. He gives Harry the book because it's a requirement for his third year at Hogwarts. More specifically- it's a required textbook for the Care of Magical Creatures class. The book was written by a wizard named Edwardus Lima sometime before 1932, and serves as a tome for magizoologists (however few there may be). Known for it's..volatile nature, the book is exceedingly difficult to open, primarily due to the fact that it'll try to bite the readers fingers off. "How do we open our books?" Malfoy repeated. He took out his copy of The Monster Book of Monsters, which he had bound shut with a length of rope. Other people took theirs out too; some, like Harry, had belted their books shut; others had crammed them inside tight bags or clamped them together with binder clips. "Hasn'--hasn' anyone bin able ter open their books?" said Hagrid, looking crestfallen. The class all shook their heads. "Yeh've got ter stroke 'em," said Hagrid, as though this was the most obvious thing in the world. "Look--" So, provided that the book itself is a kind of monster, I can't help but wonder what lies within. Are these monsters as bad the book would suggest? Let's dive in to it.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re looking at how headmasters portraits at Hogwarts work. Specifically, we’ll be taking a look at how exactly these paintings are able to give advice since the people portrayed in them are dead, and whether or not a subject’s abilities while alive impacts how intelligent their portrait is in death. First off, it’s important to note before we get going on the actual portraits, that these paintings are entirely different from the magical photographs that appear throughout the Harry Potter series. As you’ve likely noticed in the novels and films, unlike the Hogwarts portraits, photographs in the wizarding world can be of witches and wizards who are either dead or alive – it does not matter. They are also unable to speak to the living. They simply move in a sort of loop, waving or smiling at the person who took the picture, as we see Harry’s parents do in the few pictures of them that he finds. So, while, yes, Wizarding World photographs are technically enchanted, they’re not nearly as interactive as the painted portraits you’ll find at Hogwarts and other important establishments.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing the history and family tree of the Black family. You might not know this, but Sirius Black was more than just a powerful wizard who escaped the dungeons of Azkaban. By birthright, he was a member of one of the most powerful wizarding families in all of Britain. In fact, the Black family line can be traced back through the centuries, and was celebrated as one of the proudest pure-blood families in the world. And by the time Sirius was born, he was one of the few male heirs that remained. Which meant his passing, in the Death Chamber on the ninth level of the ministry of magic, marked the end of the Black Family line. But even that wasn’t really the end for them. Although the women of the family didn’t typically keep their last name after marriage, they married into dozens of other pure blood families throughout England. In some way, almost every Weasly, Potter, Lestrange, Lupin, and Malfoy could find a connection to the Blacks. Today, we’re going to take a look at the very first recorded ancestor in Sirius’s line, and trace the history of the Black family, from Sirius’s own namesake, to the final male heirs.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're looking at muggle/wizard affairs throughout history, starting as far back as 382 BC.- When we crack open our history books, and take a look at famous events and conflicts between muggles and the wizarding world, you might be surprised at what you find. Before the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, which was established in the year 1692, wizards weren't exactly unknown. Although, even at that time, many considered the concept of witches and wizards outlandish... There were plenty of people who had firsthand experience with members of the wizarding world. In fact, in different corners of the world, at varying times, entire countries were swept into anti-magic crazes that threatened to destroy almost every magic-using man, woman, and child in their community. Today, we're going to take a look at some of these events, and their long-lasting legacy, as we discuss the history of muggle and wizard affairs. If you think of the modern world, then the fact that Muggles and the wizards don't intermingle is a foregone conclusion. -After all, the ministry of magic had worked tirelessly, for centuries, in order to keep their constituents a secret. - But when we look back in time, to the earliest records, we find a very different landscape. In the official history of the wizarding world, the earliest date documented is 382 B.C. -That's the year that a Roman ancestor of Garrick Ollivander, the wandmaker from Diagon Alley in Great Britain, created their first branch in ancient Rome. - There's more than a 1,000 year gap between that date, and the next listed event in official wizarding records. -So, if we were to try and guess what happened, and how the wizarding world might have interacted with muggles of that time, we'll have to rely on our detective skills.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're discussing James Potter, Draco Malfoy and 5 things that made them the same. Also, and more importantly, we'll discuss who was the bigger bully. Now, please. Hold your gasps. I know this may sound more than a little odd. But if we really dig into it, these two characters have far too much in common to ignore.- So, let's get started, shall we? The first somewhat important similarity between these two wizards is their ancestral backgrounds. Yes, as you may know – or have guessed – both James Potter and Draco Malfoy came from pure-blood wizarding families. Although, technically, if you go far enough back, I guess you could argue that the Potter family occasionally married a Muggle or two – and anyone who knows anything about the world of Harry Potter, knows that the Malfoys strongly opposed mixing their blood line with poorer wizarding families, never mind MUGGLES. However, you simply cannot argue with the fact that both the Potters and the Malfoys were strong, powerful wizarding families, in their own right. After all, James Potter was the descendent of IGNOTUS PEVERELL – the first known owner of the fabled Invisibility Cloak from the tale of the Deathly Hallows. Right, so both James Potter and Draco Malfoy were from "serious" wizarding families. One arguably "weak" similarity. You may be thinking, "if that's all you've got, this is a joke!"

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be discussing the TOP 10 most POWERFUL magical Beings of the wizarding world.- 'Being' is one of the three classifications used by the British Ministry of Magic to distinguish the different magical creatures that inhabit the wizarding world (the others being Beast and Spirit).- The term 'Beings', at least for the most part, refers to the HUMANOID (or at least, seemingly humanoid) lives of the wizarding world. And when I say humanoid, I mean possessing typical 'human' characteristics- i.e 1 head, a standard number of appendages, 2 eyes etc. Although, I suppose you could argue that possession of these traits being innately 'humanoid' stems from a relatively human-centric point of view. There are also a few exceptions to this which you'll see down below.- Anyway, with that distinction made, I do want to point out that there are still quite a few 'humanoid' creatures in the wizarding world beyond just conventional 'human' witches and wizards, which is why I think that this will make for a fun list. This list will be ranked from least to most powerful and I'll stick to CANON to support my rationale. Anyway, let's dive in.

Hey everyone, welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to ONCE AGAIN (this is the FIFTH time I'm saying that now) be discussing the events that transpired in the Harry Potter universe AFTER the books and films ended. I have now made 4 separate videos on this topic to date, parts 1, 2, 3 and 4- which each cover 10 separate characters and what they got up to post Deathly Hallows. Between those 4 videos I've managed to cover.. Voldemort Neville Hermione Ron Harry George Luna Hagrid Draco The Dursleys Umbridge Fudge Lockhart Flitwick Filch Ollivander Kingsley Shacklebolt Pomona Sprout Arthur / Molly Weasley Percy Weasley Aberforth Dumbledore Fleur Seamus Finnigan McGonagall Narcissa / Lucius Cormac Mclaggen Grawp Rita Skeeter Slughorn Dean Thomas Charlie weasley Sybil trelawney Firenze Oliver wood Madame maxime Bill weasley Pansy parkinson Aunt marge Patil twins & Ginny weasley Today, I'm going to be continuing that trend and giving you part FIVE (and don't worry, there will be a part 6) of..WHAT HAPPENED to these 10 characters AFTER the war?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the bloodlines of the wizarding world. More specifically- we're going to be honing in on and discussing Muggleborns- also known as 'Mudbloods' to the darker, more sinister side of the wizarding world.- Now before we dive too far in to this topic, let me first establish that blood status is one of the most controversial aspects of the wizarding world- a concept in which wizarding families can be distinguished by the level of magically-endowed family members. Generally speaking, people are slotted in to one of the following categories: Pure-blood, half-blood, or muggle- with the special term 'muggle-born' referring to a witch or wizard with two non-magical parents.- The existence of such a system, however, brings nothing to the wizarding world but hatred. In fact, one of the main focuses of Voldemort's regime was establishing power over the worlds of half-bloods and muggles. Voldemort felt that those with pure-blood lines deserved to be in power, and he also grew increasingly concerned that pure-blood numbers would dwindle while the number of muggleborns climbed- effectively extinguishing 'pure' blood from the wizarding world. And, as it turns out, Voldemort was very right to have that 'fear'- as statistics show that the number of muggle-borns climbs year over year.- With that said- let me get to the 'meat' of today's video, which is a list of ALL KNOWN muggle-borns (that is, witches or wizards born to muggle parents) that we know of in the wizarding world. I'm going to start with the more obvious ones and make my way toward the LESS obvious ones that you may not know about. How many do YOU know of? Comment down below before we get started.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re going to be discussing a few more thoughts I’ve had on the latest Fantastic Beasts film- the Secrets of Dumbledore. If you’ve seen it, you know much was uncovered in the way of Credence’s Barebone’s true identity – and if you haven’t seen it, BE WARNED, there are spoilers ahead! While it’s true, we learn much of who Credence really is in The Secrets of Dumbledore, some of these answers have led to, well, more questions.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Hogwarts and the topic of PUNISHMENT. How are bad students PUNISHED? If you don't know already, corporal punishment is an old system of punishment that was actually surprisingly common in the school system- that is, until it was banned in 1986 (in the UK at least). Other countries went on to ban it at different points in time, and I think that it may actually still be allowed in some places.It's also worth mentioning that corporal punishment also exists outside of the school system, however the school system will be the focal point of this video. Corporal punishment involves inflicting physical pain upon someone- and in a school setting it would be administered when students failed to pay attention, or gave professors flak. Though not restricted to these methods, common methods of inflicting pain would involve spanking or paddling- both of which are completely unacceptable.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing elves and why, despite being so powerful, they choose to serve witches and wizards. As you may recall, elves – and the concept of house-elves – are introduced in The Chamber of Secrets when Harry meets Dobby, the resident house-elf of Draco Malfoy’s family and the family’s home, Malfoy Manor. Through this introduction, we discover that the upper class of the Wizarding World all seem to “own” house-elves – elves who are magically bound to serve their masters and work in servitude for well-to-do wizarding families without compensation. Their tasks range from cleaning to cooking and running errands – all without question. The only way that they can be freed from their magical ensl*avement is if their master gives them a piece of clothing. Of course, this sounds quite miserable. And, so, it was unsurprising when we learn that Dobby longs to be free from his indentured servitude to the cruel Malfoy family, who mistreat him and underestimate his abilities and intelligence. This of course, inevitably leads to Harry helping Dobby secure his freedom, tricking Lucius Malfoy into tossing an old sock to the elf. However, despite Dobby being the first house-elf we are introduced to, we come to learn that he is actually quite an anomaly when compared to the majority of the elves that we come across throughout the remainder of the series – from Dobby’s friend, Winky, who Harry meets at the Quidditch World Cup when he mistakes her for Dobby, to Kreacher, the miserable house-elf of the Black family, who is inevitably left to Harry after Sirius Black’s death.

Welcome Harry Potter Theory. Today we're 5 pros and 5 cons of Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore. The film just came out in North America a few days ago, and by this point it's come out in theatres across MOST of the world- so I thought it'd be a good time to release a list of my pros and cons- limiting myself to just 5 of each. If you want a full-scale review AND breakdown, I've done that as well- I'll leave a link down in the pinned comment.- I'll be alternating PROS with CONS as to not overly hype up or bog down the experience.- Let's get in to it.
