Hey everyone, Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing abandoned plot lines in the Harry Potter series.- When we reminisce about J.K. Rowling and her incredible wizarding world, it's hard not to think about all the tweaks and twists she's made to Harry Potter canon over the years. From publishings on Pottermore/Wizardingworld to the Fantastic Beasts movies, all the way to her active presence on Twitter, Rowling seems to have an unending desire to shake things up.- But amidst all of these additions and alterations, there have also been mentions of things that Rowling considered but later chose to discard. From relatively minor to major, today we'll be discussing the changes to the story that didn't make the cut- discarded treasures that were banished to the literary bin. After the video, let me know what you think should have / should NOT have been included down in the comment section below. Anyway, let's get in to it.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're delving into the realm of unused characters, elusive figures that were mentioned by Rowling but never made an appearance in any officially released material- whether it be books or films.-- While we have been enthralled by the likes of Harry, Hermione, and Ron, there exists a treasure trove of characters lying dormant in the scribblings, unpublished drafts and words spoken by J.K. Rowling during interviews.- Some were scrapped in the editing process, others lost to the ever-advancing plot, and the rest just weren't quite Harry Potter material.- Today we'll be delving into the sketches, interviews, and whispered rumors to uncover these intriguing, yet unused, characters. Discussing their origins, powers, and the roles they may have played if given the chance. From a lost Weasley family member, to a Hogwarts TOAD ghost, to a professor named Pettigrew, this list has it all.- I've managed to piece together 30 characters in total, which does already seem like quite a lot, but if I've missed any PLEASE let me know in the comments and I'll address it in a future video.- For organizations sake, I'm going to be listing them in alphabetical order.- Anyway, I won't 'babble' any longer, let's dive in.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the Death Eaters- delving in to the ranks of Voldemort's most powerful followers and uncovering which of these dark witches and wizards are most dangerous. As a young boy, Tom Riddle lacked a normal range of human emotions. However, that certainly didn't mean he was unable to control people. His cunning and manipulative nature eventually meant that he would form a 'gang' of sorts- a group consisting of his fellow Slytherin students. The gang that Riddle formed was once described by Dumbledore 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". This group were (at that time) known as the Knights of Walpurgis. But, if we fast forward to the year 1970, 32 years AFTER Tom Riddle had started attending Hogwarts, and the beginning of 'Voldemort's' rise to power, these 'Knights of Walpurgis' were known by a different name: 'Death Eaters'. As far as dark witches and wizards went, the Death Eaters were the worst. This group was comprised of evil witches and wizards that were all hellbent on pursuing their dark ambitions. They were the followers of Lord Voldemort- and they obeyed his every bidding in an effort to 'cleanse' the wizarding world- the ultimate goal being to restore pure-blood authority. And unfortunately, Voldemort managed to amass quite a lot of them. Today, we'll be taking a look at each and every one of these followers, uncovering who they were and just how valuable their contributions may have been to Voldemort. I'd also like to mention that I'll be Sticking to OFFICIAL Death Eaters only and not just wizards who followed Voldemort (whether Imperiused or not). There were many followers of Voldemort that were not granted Death Eater status OR given the Dark Mark, but WERE allowed to wear Death Eater garments in order to command the respect they engendered. This group was comprised of individuals that Voldemort found useful but did not want to directly associate himself with. A good example of someone in this category would be Fenrir Greyback. With all of that established, let's get in to it. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today we're discussing Aurors from Harry Potter, a group of elite and highly trained witches and wizards that work for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement inside the Ministry of Magic. Or if you're in the US, for the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Comparable to say, the Secret Service in the Muggle World, Aurors are responsible for investigating and handling any and all crimes pertaining to dark wizards and dark magic. "Aurors are the Wizarding World's best defence against the practitioners of the Dark Arts. We're well-versed in offensive magic, because our very lives depend on it. It takes courage, wit, and guile. Not many have the stomach for it. Do you?" Aurors play a crucial role in maintaining peace and combating dark forces in the wizarding world- serving as an essential pillar of magical law enforcement. They stand as a symbol of courage, skill, and unwavering dedication. The origins of Aurors trace back to the tumultuous period of the 18th century when the wizarding world faced numerous threats and internal conflicts. This era, marked by dark wizard supremacy and oppression, laid the foundation for the formation of the Auror profession. As wizards and witches became increasingly concerned about the misuse of magic, an urgent need arose for skilled individuals who could safeguard the magical community and bring justice to wrongdoers. From quelling goblin rebellions, to investigating the illegal trade of magical creatures, the Aurors were the closest thing to a standing army that the Ministry would ever mobilize.- But which Aurors were most powerful? Let's take a look. 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'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 magical institution's four founding members and how they decided that the student population would always be divided into four houses, which would represent the characteristics and traits most valued by each of those founding members. As the majority of you watching this will already know, the four founding members of Hogwarts School were Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin, with the corresponding houses being named after each of their surnames. And while later instalments of the series eventually focused on students from the houses of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, the beginning of Harry Potter certainly had a lot more emphasis on Gryffindor and Slytherin. What's more, there was a very obvious dichotomy presented between the two, with all of the protagonist characters - aka the "good guys" - being Gryffindors, and all of the antagonists - or "bad guys" - being Slytherins. From Harry to the compassionate and friendly Weasley family who helped him find Platform 9 and ¾, and the world-famous Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, everyone who was presented as good and heroic in the first few years of Harry's time at Hogwarts was a current or former Gryffindor student. By contrast, each of the BADDIES that we met during Harry's first few years were all Slytherins, including the bully Draco Malfoy, the cruel Professor Snape and, of course, the most evil wizard to have ever lived - Lord Voldemort. And who could forget what Hagrid told Harry before he entered his first year at Hogwarts: "There's not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin. You-Know-Who was one."

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're discussing the history of Harry Potter's only known surviving relatives - the Dursley family. The Dursleys are one of the most infamous Muggle families to exist within the Wizarding World. As his only living relatives at the time of Harry's parents' deaths, these were the people who - unfortunately - were given the responsibility of raising Harry from the time he was only a one-year-old child. But who are they, really? And how did they become such intolerable sods? In today's video, I'll be taking you through a deep dive into the backstories and lives of the entire Dursley family as we know them.- Let's get to it! 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 professor Horace Slughorn, and his famed 'Slug Club'- a club which can best be described through the wise words of Albus Dumbledore: "Horace," said Dumbledore, relieving Harry of the responsibility to say any of this, "likes his comfort. He also likes the company of the famous, the successful, and the powerful. He enjoys the feeling that he influences these people. He has never wanted to occupy the throne himself; he prefers the backseat - more room to spread out, you see. He used to handpick favorites at Hogwarts, sometimes for their ambition or their brains, sometimes for their charm or their talent, and he had an uncanny knack for choosing those who would go on to become outstanding in their various fields." "Horace formed a kind of club of his favorites with himself at the center, making introductions, forging useful contacts between members, and always reaping some kind of benefit in return, whether a free box of his favorite crystallized pineapple or the chance to recommend the next junior member of the Goblin liaison Office." Horace Slughorn's 'Slug Club' was an out-of-hours dining and social club made up of his most well-liked and famous students. The club provided its members with unique opportunities, mentorship, and access to influential contacts, opening doors for their future successes. It's origins date back to when he first began teaching at the school in 1931. You see, Slughorn had a keen eye to identify if someone would go on to achieve greatness in some capacity, and would take great pride in their accomplishments.- While we are given some indication as to who is actually in this club in the books and films, we aren't provided with a complete list. Names are mentioned, and in the film adaptation Slughorn's 'wall' is shown, where he proudly displays the members of his club, but we want to know more!

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to embark on a journey to unveil a hidden trove of characters whose rich stories were left untold on the silver screen.-Now, as avid readers, we all know that the movies could never capture every inked detail found within the beloved books. So today, we're going to dive into the forgotten pages and reveal the diverse tapestry of characters that were included in the novels but omitted from the movies. Ranging from minor to major, today I want to introduce to you a comprehensive list of the characters who (for varying reasons) never made it to the big screen.- I certainly hope that we will get a chance to see some of these characters in the upcoming Harry Potter TV Show.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the rather dark topic of WITCH HUNTS- diving deep in to how witch hunts and witch trials have shaped the course of the wizarding world's-(and our own) history.- While the world of Harry Potter may be filled with wonder and awe, it is not immune to the shadows that lurk in the human heart. Just like in our own MUGGLE history, the wizarding world has faced its fair share of witch hunts and unjust persecution, where fear and prejudice have cast a sinister veil over the lives of magical beings. But before we get started on the fictional witch hunts that unfold within the pages of Harry Potter, I want to first take a look at the extensive history of witch hunts in our own world- a phenomenon spanning multiple centuries that claimed the lives of a staggering 35000 to 50000 victims. Once we're done covering the real atrocities that occurred, we'll segue in to the Wizarding World's version of witch hunts and see how they differ.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the history of the Marauders. For anyone unfamiliar with the group, the Marauders were made up of four school-aged wizards who attended Hogwarts in the 1970s. All four were Gryffindor students, who over the course of their first year at school became the closest of friends. Their names were James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.- In this in-depth video, we'll explore the rich history and untold stories of James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. From their daring adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to their pivotal role in the First Wizarding War, we delve into the captivating narrative of the Marauders' era. Discover their formation, the creation of the Marauder's Map, and the impact of their friendship on the wizarding world.- 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 Professor Albus Dumbledore, arguably the greatest Headmaster Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has ever seen, never assumed a much greater leadership role within the wizarding world as the British Minister for Magic. As far as legendary wizards go in the world of Harry Potter, Professor Albus Dumbledore certainly tops the list - especially when considering the number of legendary witches and wizards who have wielded their power for good and not evil. For starters, he is likely only one of a few wizards in all of history who was essential in the downfall of not one, but TWO dark and powerful wizards, both of whom were leading deadly wizarding conflicts. His first conquest of good over evil came when he defeated the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald on the 2nd of November in 1945. In doing so, Dumbledore not only stopped Grindelwald from continuing to gain power with the intention of subjugating Muggles around the world, he also effectively ended the global wizarding war that had erupted thanks to Grindelwald's prejudiced views. Then, in the 1990s, Dumbledore was also responsible for identifying the weakness of Voldemort - namely his multiple Horcruxes - which eventually led to Harry Potter's ability to defeat the Dark Lord. While not many witches or wizards can attest to attaining the same or similar achievements, Dumbledore defeated those dark wizards while also TEACHING, for Albus was an accomplished professor at Hogwarts for years before finally becoming one of the school's most admired Headmasters. So, when taking all of Albus Dumbledore's accolades into consideration, as well as his propensity for what is just and right, it seems rather odd that a wizard as powerful and good as Dumbledore, and who could clearly lead an organised establishment, was never the head of the magical governing body of Britain - the Ministry of Magic.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the 5 captivating works of Beedle the Bard. Specifically, we're going to be diving in to who Beedle was, what lessons his stories teach, what they're about and how his stories have so effectively managed to stand the test of time. Within the realm of Harry Potter, Beedle the Bard is a renowned author whose stories have been cherished by generations of witches and wizards. His collection of magical fables, aptly titled "The Tales of Beedle the Bard," holds a special place in the hearts of fans worldwide. "'You've never heard of The Tales of Beedle the Bard?' Ron asked Hermione incredulously in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This just about sums up why the tales are so special. For centuries, the fables have been the staple of wizarding childhoods, the sound of bedtime stories. To children who grew up in wizarding families, 'the Hopping Pot and the Fountain of Fair Fortune are as familiar' to them 'as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty are to Muggle children'." Beedle's tales provide us with delightful glimpses into the rich folklore of the wizarding world. As we explore his works, let us not only marvel at the magic and wonder encapsulated within these timeless stories but also reflect on the wisdom they impart. Each of these tales offer a wealth of knowledge and understanding, presenting us with valuable life lessons and thought-provoking dilemmas to contemplate. Without further ado, let's dive in to it.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing house elves, an often-overlooked species of magical beings from within the wizarding world. Specifically, we're going to be diving in to their origins- taking a look at where they came from and how they got to be in the position that they're in today. House elves have been an integral part of wizarding society for centuries, serving as loyal companions and helpers to wizarding families. But what's interesting is that we're never actually fed much info on their history. Did house elves precede the existence of witches and wizards? When did house elves first come to be? What inspired JK Rowling to create them? Why do they SERVE? And just how did they evolve into such an essential aspect of the wizarding world? I also want to examine how House elves were used to symbolize deeper themes of social justice, equality, and the ethics of servitude. Hopefully, through our examination of their history, we'll uncover the powerful messages J.K. Rowling intended to convey through highlighting the mistreatment of an entire species marginalized in society. Without further ado, let's dive in.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing every single subject taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I covered this topic a few years ago, but then it occurred to me that, with new publications on wizardingworld.com as well as new game content, the list probably needed updating (which it did!). This also gives me an opportunity to expand on existing subjects further. Before we get going see if you can comment all of the subjects down below (no cheating). Anyway, I won't dawdle any longer, here are the 25 subjects of Hogwarts.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're diving deep in to the life of Regulus Arcturus Black - also known as R.A.B., a character that may not be particularly well known by those who have only seen the films. You may recall him as the enigmatic character whose journey from loyalty to Lord Voldemort to becoming a courageous defector captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Today, I'll be telling his compelling story- diving in to the biography of one of the wizarding world's unsung heroes. But first, a brief introduction. In the realm of the Wizarding World, the name "Regulus Black" resonates with a sense of mystery and intrigue. Born into the noble House of Black, known for its complex history and unwavering belief in pure-blood supremacy, Regulus's destiny seemed predetermined. However, life often presents unexpected paths, and Regulus's journey would lead him down a road less traveled. Shrouded in the very darkness he sought to embrace, Regulus's story begins with a complex upbringing.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing ALL of the hidden rooms, unknown chambers, and secret passageways within Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Hogwarts Castle is known for the fact that its location is...well...UNKNOWN. Unplottable on a map and basically invisible to Muggles, the school and its surrounding grounds have quite the reputation for harbouring many magical secrets. This, of course, includes an absolutely INSANE number of hidden areas within the castle...In today's video, I'll be taking you through all the ones that we know about...starting with...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be 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 going to be discussing what happened to the Wizarding World AFTER the climactic defeat of Lord Voldemort in the Deathly Hallows.- After a period of total chaos, a sudden silence fell over the Hogwarts grounds. The menacing lord of darkness, Voldemort, was finally defeated. Victory brought a fresh morning glimmer, marking an end to the fear and terror that the dark lord had spread across the wizarding world. But even though Voldemort's reign was short lived, his time in power was more than long enough to spread a veil of darkness over the once-vibrant wizarding world. Lives were lost, institutions crumbled, and the inhabitants of the wizarding world were reminded of what darkness was capable of. And in times like this, the darkest of times, it would be wise for the wizarding population to follow the sage advice of Albus Dumbledore, the man that always reminded us to "turn on the light".- Voldemort's defeat was a glorious occasion for the good guys, but as the light of victory settled a new (and colossal task) dawned on the wizarding world- the reconstruction of a fractured world and the healing of a society bruised by Voldemort's regime. But if the Phoenix has taught us anything, it's that it is after the fall from the flames that we rise again, stronger than ever. The ashes of defeat had fallen; now, it was time for the magical world to rise.- I've done a video in the past discussing what happened to each and every character from the series in the post war era *show video on screen*, but today we're going to be honing in on wizarding society as a whole. What happened to Hogwarts? The Ministry of Magic? Diagon Alley? Without further ado, let's uncover the rebirth of wizarding society.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing The Potter Family, Godric's Hollow, Voldemort and October 31st 1981. Specifically, we're going to be tackling the question of WHY James Potter didn't act as his OWN secret keeper- instead entrusting the responsibility with known RAT Peter Pettigrew. Join me as we dive deep into the Fidelius Charm and the role of the Secret Keeper in the tragic events that led to the downfall of James and Lily Potter.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing why Fred and George Weasley never noticed Peter Pettigrew - aka Scabbers the rat - on the magically revealing Marauder's Map. I suppose to start with, we can address the question of: Why would they? Well, as we learn near the end of Harry Potter's third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the Marauder's Map has the capability to reveal each and every person roaming the hallowed halls of the school, regardless of their form. It represents witches and wizards with a dot that has a corresponding name - which is ALWAYS their true identity, again regardless of any magic that may make them appear differently when confronted in person. And it is through the Map that Harry discovers a number of unsettling secrets that have to do with the night his parents were murdered - including the fact that Peter Pettigrew, his father's mate who supposedly died that same night, is ALIVE. How does he discover this? He sees him on the Marauder's Map. But I'm getting ahead of myself...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing the enigmatic gate of DEATH that is The VEIL. Now, if one were to venture through the corridors of the Ministry of Magic for long enough, they'd likely, eventually, find themselves standing before the enigmatic Veil - a haunting manifestation nestled within the Death Chamber of the Department of Mysteries.- And when faced with such an enigmatic wizarding structure, it's hard not to ask questions. What IS the Veil? Who created it? And how does the Veil connect to the wizarding world's understanding of life, death, and the beyond? Join me as we apparate through time and space, diving deep into the mysteries of the Veil and shedding light on its presence within Wizarding History.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be going for a deep dive into how Lord Voldemort never figured out that Severus Snape was a double agent whose true loyalties lay with Albus Dumbledore and The Order of the Phoenix. As revealed at the very bitter end of the Harry Potter series, Professor Severus Snape was one of the most successful turn cloaks to have ever lived. Becoming a follower of Voldemort - and officially a Death Eater - shortly after leaving Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Severus was a wizard deeply entrenched in the world of Dark Magic from a rather young age. Before he became enamoured with the Dark Lord and his teachings, however, Severus' first love was that of the Muggle-born witch Lily Evans. And so when Snape learned of a prophecy that inevitably sent Voldemort after the woman he loved, and set into motion a series of events that would result in her death, Severus chose to alter his allegiance and instead work for the very group of witches and wizards set on destroying Voldemort - while pretending to remain a faithful servant to the Dark Lord.- But how is it that the wizard many believed to be one of the most POWERFUL to have ever lived never managed to figure out that Snape wasn't truly on his side? Well, I believe that the answer to this question is actually a bit more complex than one might first think. To which end, I've put together a few ideas I've had on the subject, starting with...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be 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?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be diving in to FOURTY- that's right, FOURTY, Harry Potter Plot twists. And when I say Plot Twists I am of course referring to unexpected turns in the story that surprised us. Moments that challenged the assumptions and expectations that had been built up throughout the narrative.- And when it comes to the Harry Potter story we have to give credit where credit is due- there are a LOT of twists and turns. From relatively mild to MAJOR, each of these plot twists contributed to a compelling story that left us full of intrigue and suspense.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be DIVING in to some common misconceptions about the wizarding world, uncovering aspects of the wizarding universe that even diehard fans sometimes get wrong.
