Today on Harry Potter Theory we'll be discussing 10 little known facts about the WEASLEY FAMILY. The Weasleys were always massively kind to Harry Potter, and they always had a plate for him on their dinner table. We get to know them quite well in the series, but we don't learn EVERYTHING. Today we're going to be diving deeper and uncovering 10 extra tidbits about Harry Potter's most beloved Wizarding family. Don't let their modest home fool you, because the Weasleys are one of the oldest, and proudest, wizarding families in Britain. - And through all the centuries of their existence, the honest bunch of do-gooders have racked up quite a number of interesting feats and facts. Today, we're going to take a few moments to look at some of the most shocking ones.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Albus Dumbledore and his cursed hand. More specifically, we’re going to be breaking down Dumbledore’s death, the curse itself and one scenario in which MAYBE, just MAYBE- Dumbledore could have saved himself. Let’s get in to it. Months before Dumbledore’s tragic demise, Dumbledore himself had decided to track down one of Voldemort’s horcruxes: a small ring crowned with a strange, dark stone. And what made this particular Horcrux unique is that this stone was in fact one of the fabled Deathly Hallows - the Resurrection Stone to be precise.  The history of the stone dates back some time, with its origin story suggesting that it had been given to the middle Peverell brother, Cadmus Peverell, by Death himself.  "Then the second brother, who was an arrogant man, decided that he wanted to humiliate Death still further, and asked for the power to recall others from Death. So Death picked up a stone from the riverbank and gave it to the second brother, and told him that the stone would have the power to bring back the dead." As mentioned above, this stone had the power to summon spirits back from the dead. But when Voldemort stole his uncle Morfin’s ring years and years prior, he had no idea that it contained such a powerful relic. To him it was just a family heirloom, and, more importantly, an item that he could taint with dark magic, an item that he could turn into a HORCRUX. But when Albus first found the stone and noticed it’s distinct markings, he immediately realized that it was one of the three Deathly Hallows.  Knowing the true power of the stone, Dumbledore’s curiosity got the better of him, and he ended up placing the ring on his finger, securing his fate.  My question is this: if Dumbledore’s curse had been effectively confined to a single hand- why not just...Get RID of said hand?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. The Headmasters of Hogwarts were some of the most interesting wizards and witches in the world. Some were expert potioneers, some were lightning fast duelists, and some... even... were experts on dark magic. Who were they? And what did they contribute to the Hogwarts legacy? Today, we're going to be DIVING in and uncovering the 28 headmasters / headmistresses that have graced Hogwarts over its lengthy history.

Today we're RANKING the most POWERFUL Pure-Bloods in Harry Potter. At this stage I've RANKED the most powerful Slytherins, Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, Aurors, Death Eaters, Dumbledore's Army members, Order of the Phoenix members and more. But what I haven't done yet is rank the most powerful PURE BLOOD wizards in the wizarding world.- 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. We're introduced to quite a few characters in the Harry Potter story that come from these pure blood lines, and they certainly aren't afraid to remind us of it..Malfoys.... However what we must remember is that at the end of the day, PURE BLOOD status doesn't mean ANYTHING. The most powerful PURE BLOODS are NOT the most powerful wizards- in fact, a top 10 list for the most powerful wizards would only include a couple of the people in this list. The majority of powerful witches and wizards in the wizarding world are actually HALF-BLOODS. Before we get started I want to mention a couple of things. First of all,I'm going to OMIT the Hogwarts founders and the Peverells as they're sort of OP. -Second of all, I'm going to TRY MY BEST to only include one person from each wizarding family, as otherwise the list could get quite overcrowded with one surname. Thirdly, I want you to pause the video and COMMENT your top 10 list down below before you dive in. Anyway, without further ado- here is my TOP 10 list of the most powerful PURE BLOOD wizards in the wizarding world. If I miss or forget a name that is deserving of a spot, please forgive me.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're discussing the upcoming Harry Potter game: Hogwarts Legacy. Just recently we were (finally) given a definitive release date for the game, February 10 2023, and it seems like since this announcement was made Portkey Games have been rolling out update after update. We were in the dark for so long, and now there's SO MUCH to cover.- I haven't been covering the game much so far, but rest assured, I will be covering it moving forward. Today I'm going to be discussing 25 new details released about the game. Let's get in to it.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the CAST members of Harry Potter. Specifically, we'll be addressing what the Harry Potter cast FULL of superstars is doing NOW (2022). When we think of the Harry Potter films, it's hard to believe that the most recent installment came out over a decade ago, with the Deathly Hallows Pt 2 hitting the silver screen in 2011. But if that doesn't sound like a long time ago, then it MAY surprise you to hear that the first installment, the Philosopher's Stone, came out a decade before THAT in 2001. But while it's been quite some time since we've seen the original cast in action, they did give us 10 years of great movies, which I'll be forever grateful for. Today I'm going to be exploring what your favourite characters (50 of them for that matter) are up to in a post-Harry Potter world. What have they achieved in their acting careers / personal lives during these past 11 years? Let's get in to it.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing a few new Harry Potter plot holes, looking specifically at The Philosopher’s Stone. Before we begin untangling the debut novel of our beloved HP series, however, I just want to highlight that this video is one in a series of Plot Hole videos that I’ve done. So, if you haven’t done so yet, be sure to watch my previous thoughts on Harry Potter plot holes in: 10 HUGE Harry Potter Plot Holes (RANKED) - Harry Potter Explained 10 HUGE Harry Potter Plot Holes Part 2 (RANKED) - Harry Potter Explained Both of those videos focus on overall plot holes from various installments throughout the entire series. But today, of course, we’ll focus entirely on The Philosopher’s Stone. Let’s get to it!

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing 10 things you missed in the Deathly Hallows part ONE. - -- By the time the Deathly Hallows rolled into theaters, the general public was already well versed in the lore of the Harry Potter world. -But even the most knowledgeable Potterheads were liable to miss some of the smallest details in the film. -With nuanced decisions from filmmakers, as well as small callbacks to previous Potter books, there is plenty to unearth in the Deathly Hallows - Part 1, and more than enough things you might have missed. - Today, we'll take a look at this penultimate movie in the Harry Potter series, and cover all the little things that might have passed you by.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Harry’s ‘death’ at the hands of Voldemort in the Deathly Hallows. More specifically, we’re going to be diving in and dissecting the nuances of HOW it happened, WHY it happened, and HOW Harry was able to come back to life. To set the scene – we’re in the Forbidden Forest and Harry comes face-to-face with Voldemort once again. However, unlike previous confrontations – from his meeting with a fragmented Voldemort attached to Professor Quirrell, to their duel in the graveyard of Little Hangleton – this time Harry does not intend to defend himself or fight back. He’s come to die. Fans of the book will remember the chapter as the aptly named “The Forest Again” and movie lovers will certainly know this scene as the one right after Harry sees his dead loved ones through the magic of the Resurrection Stone – one of the three fabled Deathly Hallows. Voldemort and his followers are waiting for Harry to turn himself over – a deal Voldemort has proposed in exchange for the safety of the other wizards who have been fighting alongside Harry in The Battle of Hogwarts.  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 the 10 most HATED characters in Harry Potter. Who TOPS the list? Umbridge? Malfoy? Pettigrew? Comment YOUR list below! Now, let me preface this list by saying that not all of these people are evil- in fact, some of them aren't evil at all. We must remember that being evil isn't the only prerequisite for being hated- some of these characters are just outright ANNOYING and OBNOXIOUS. Some of them made it on to the list for evil acts, and some of them made it on the list for simply popping their head up where they shouldn't have. I'll also mention that I don't really DISLIKE any of these characters, they all make the Harry Potter story more interesting, and for that I'm thankful for their existence. What kind of successful story is full of neutral characters with neutral opinions? Doesn't sound interesting to -me. I've tried to balance my own opinions with the opinions of the internet, so hopefully I've struck a reasonable balance there. My OWN top 10 list (based purely off of my own opinions) might look a little bit different. Anyway- I'm about to dive in, but before we get started I want to ask YOU guys to pause the video and comment YOUR top 10 (or even top 5) most hated Harry Potter characters down below.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're discussing 10 things you might have missed in the Half-Blood Prince MOVIE. The Half-Blood Prince introduced us to a whole new side to Voldemort that we had rarely seen before: Tom Riddle's past. Thanks to Dumbledore's memories, and Professor Slughorn's recollection, we were granted a glimpse into Voldemort's early years as a wizard... and how he eventually learned the secrets of creating Horcruxes. Throughout the film, though, you might have missed some of the smaller details that make the wizarding world so rich. -So today, let's take a deep dive, and check out 10 of the smaller bits from the Half Blood Prince that might have snuck by you. 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.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing 10 crazy details you probably missed from the Deathly Hallows book. I've already done a video on this for the FILM version, so if you haven't seen that, then go and have a look afterwards. The Deathly Hallows is perhaps the darkest entry in the entire Harry Potter series. -Filled with war and death, the book follows the final moments of Harry Potter's quest to destroy the horcruxes that Voldemort hid around Britain. With so much lore, and so many intertwining stories, it's easy to overlook some of the smaller interesting facts and tidbits that fill its pages. So today, we're going to take a deep dive into the final chapter of Harry Potter's life at Hogwarts, and rediscover some of the things you might have missed.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, starting with the Deathly Hallows Part 2, we're going to be discussing the things that you've probably never noticed in the Harry Potter films. As the culmination of a decade of lore, this movie is filled with interesting lore and trivia, and it'll be a blast to look through every scene with you.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going discussing 10 THINGS you probably missed while you were watching the Philosopher’s Stone FILM. I’m also going to be doing a separate video highlighting 10 things you probably missed in the BOOK, but today, let’s focus on the films. Hunting for Easter Eggs and interesting tidbits within the Harry Potter films is one of my favorite past times.  There’s just something so special about looking through the halls of Hogwarts, and discovering something you’ve never realized before. So today, I thought we’d spend some time doing just that.   This time, we’ll take a look at the very first Harry Potter Film… the Philosopher’s Stone… and see what interesting feats and facts we can find.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Harry and Voldemort's final showdown in the Deathly Hallows part 2; the day that Lord Voldemort's tyrannical regime finally came to an end. We're also going to be discussing why every time Harry and Voldemort meet and engage in combat (which happens a fair bit), they resort to using the same spells over and over again- with Voldemort using Avada Kedavra and Harry using Expelliarmus. We see this in their graveyard duel in the Goblet of Fire, and we also see this in their final fated duel at the Battle of Hogwarts. My question is this: WHY is it that Harry Potter resorts to Expelliarmus for (seemingly) every circumstance? With the wizarding world at stake, wouldn't it make sense for Harry to use something like the killing curse? Why would he rely so heavily on a glorified disarming charm? Wouldn't Harry want to guarantee surety of Voldemort's demise? Yes Expelliarmus ended up working for Harry, largely- actually, EXCLUSIVELY due to extraneous circumstances- but I can't help but wonder why Harry would opt for a common duelling spell.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Severus Snape, Voldemort, and Horcruxes. More specifically- we’re going to be discussing whether or not Snape was aware of the fact that Voldemort had created horcruxes- Voldemort’s key to immortality. Voldemort’s creation of Horcruxes- which are arguably one of the darkest and most twisted forms of magic- started off with just a misguided young boy, unsure of his place in the world. Tom Riddle was an orphan, abandoned by his mother at Wool’s Orphanage before he ever got a chance to know her. His existence was a tragedy- and the only reason that he was ever birthed at all was because his mother had used a love potion on his father. When the effects of the love potion wore off, Tom Riddle Sr immediately left Merope, and this meant that Tom Riddle started off his life with nothing but abandonment.  After years at the orphanage, Dumbledore eventually discovered the young Riddle- and brought him to the world’s finest magical school. While a student at Hogwarts, Riddle was very impressive, and he expressed an unparalleled ability to learn. He constantly asked questions, and he didn’t want to leave any stone unturned when it came to the wizarding world.  There is one particular branch of magic, however, that captivated Riddle, and it’s a form of magic that he certainly should have never discovered. That magic involved Horcruxes- objects in which dark witches or wizards have imbued part of their soul. The ultimate purpose of creating a horcrux is to achieve immortality. However, the truly sinister component of creating a horcrux is that in order to produce one, you must MURDER someone. As he grew older, and as he learned more about Horcruxes, he began to create them for himself- and eventually, he had many- being one of only two known wizards to have created them. At one point in time Severus Snape was a full-fledged death eater and devoted servant of the dark lord. Disgusted with the actions of the quote on quote ‘good guys’, and fuelled by the torment that he had endured for much of his upbringing, Snape turned to the dark side and became one of Voldemort’s right hand men. In fact, it was Snape himself that overheard Sybil Trelawney discussing the fabled prophecy- and Snape too, who relayed the message to Voldemort. The two were close- Snape trusted Voldemort and Voldemort trusted Snape, but that all changed when Lily Evans’ life was in danger. Given that Snape was in Voldemort’s inner-circle for so many years, and that he had formed such a close bond with him- I always wondered, was Snape AWARE of Voldemort’s horcruxes? And if not- why wasn’t he? Snape was a bonafide magical genius- and he knew more about magic than almost every other wizard in the wizarding world- having gone down the rabbit hole of both sides of the wizarding spectrum- good and bad. Not only that, but he was a master legilimens- a master of THE MIND. He knew exactly how to read people, how to analyze their behaviours and patterns- how could he have missed powerful dark magic at play?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be discussing wizarding prisons. Everyone knows Azkaban, but do you know the other 7? -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.- Let's dive in to it.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Harry Potter, Dumbledore’s Phoenix- Fawkes, wandlore, and Lord Voldemort. More specifically, we’re going to be addressing a couple of things. 1. WHY Fawkes’ Phoenix Feather CHOSE Voldemort & 2. WHY Fawkes’ Phoenix Feather Chose Harry. We know that Fawkes’ supplied the tail feather for both Harry AND Voldemort’s wands, and I’ve got a sinister theory for why. Harry first picks up his wand in Ollivander’s wand shop right near the beginning of the Philosopher’s Stone while accumulating supplies for Hogwarts.  “A wand is the object through which a witch or wizard channels his or her magic. It is made from wood and has a magical substance at its core. Wands made by Ollivander have cores of phoenix feather, unicorn hair or dragon heartstring, and are of varying woods, lengths and flexibilities.” As shown above, wands come in a variety of shapes, colours, sizes, flexibilities and materials. The main parameters that differentiate each wand are as follows: length, wood type, and lastly- core type. Each element is just as important as the last, and these numbered criteria are part of the reason why each witch/wizards wand is so UNIQUE. In fact, there are a considerable number of permutations.  So, how is that that Voldemort and Harry ended up with the same wand core? What are the chances that these two wizards, whose fates would intertwine, ended up with phoenix feathers from the SAME phoenix.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Hogwarts Potions Professor, and later Headmaster Severus Snape, and his most powerful spells and abilities. Now, one thing that I want to mention right out of the gate is that Snape is one of the most powerful wizards in the wizarding world- and what was most impressive about him is that he wasn't even that old when he died. Snape died at the tender age of 38, and though he wasn't quite at the level of Voldemort or Dumbledore, he was getting there- and had he been around for a few decades longer, I think that Snape may just have had a shot at being the most powerful wizard ever.- Unfortunately, we'll never know, and though I'm sure he had the potential to achieve insurmountable levels of power, realistically he did ultimately fall short of besting the likes of Voldemort and Dumbledore. With all of that being said, however, Snape was still amazing, and I feel like sometimes he's a little underrated. Throughout the series, time and time again Snape showcases spells and abilities that are difficult to conjure and often unique. -He's also a well-rounded wizard because he was never afraid of venturing in to experimentation with the dark arts- he knows the good spells, and the more sinister spells- he knows it all. Snape is a testament to what can be achieved if you're really dedicated to something. As a student, Snape always had his head in the books, continually learning and progressing. He was focused, and he didn't let temporary satisfaction get in the way of achieving more- learning more. Though he had a segue down a dark path, the result of bullying and the loss of his friendship with Lily, Snape only used his hatred for the Marauders as fuel- it gave him the drive and the motivation to be more, to do more.- And today, we're going to be diving in and looking at Snapes 5 most powerful spells and abilities.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing wands, wand shops, and wand makers. More specifically- we're going to be discussing every known wandmaker in Harry Potter. There isn't a TON of information out there on this topic, so the level of information is going to vary from wandmaker to wandmaker, but I hope you enjoy what I've put together.- Considered to be a 'complex and mysterious branch of magic'- wand-making refers to a 'wandmaker' using wand cores and woods to construct wands for witches and wizards.- More broadly, wandmakers can be categorized as anyone who constructs a wand. However, in wizarding society, wandmakers are traditionally witches or wizards that construct and SELL wands. In large part due to the fact that the Ollivander family were so instrumental in revolutionizing the wand-making process, and in part due to the fact that Hogwarts students obtain wands from Ollivanders, many of us have been hard wired to believe that Ollivander's is the ONLY option when it comes to wand shops. -But in truth, there are in fact MANY other wandmakers out there in the vast wizarding world, some of which I'll introduce you to on today's list.- Today, we're going to be examining ALL wandmakers- that is, any witch or wizard that has constructed a wand- whether that be to sell, use themselves, or otherwise.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're discussing Wormtail AKA Peter Pettigrew. Wormtail gets a bad wrap, and has arguably the worst reputation of the entire franchise, with perhaps the exception of Umbridge. No one, not even Wormtail's allies, held him in a very high regard, and one of the reasons that people looked down on him was that they saw him as submissive and weak. Voldemort and the death eaters disrespected him, never truly giving him the time of day. Wormtail was instrumental in Voldemort's resurgence, so it's a testament to Voldemort's sinister nature, and Wormtail's submissive nature, that he could disrespect him so openly. At one point, wormtail was sent to Snape's house to 'assist' him, but Snape ended up treating him like his servant, a supreme gesture of disrespect: Severus Snape: "I was under the impression that the Dark Lord sent you here to assist me." Peter Pettigrew: "To assist you, yes, but not to serve you drinks and...to clean your house!" Wormtail was a british pure-blood wizard born in 1959 or 1960, he had pale skin, unhealthy hair that was constantly falling out, and blue eyes. He was a snivelling excuse for a man whose loyalties only lay where there was power, and he did not value friendship or love in the way that most do. Despite serving both sides of the battle at one point or another, neither respected him, and those that Wormtail betrayed hated him because he was, morally, an awful awful person. And while I agree with the sentiment that Wormtail was a despicable person morally, I am not of the impression that he was an untalented wizard. In my opinion, Wormtail is one of the most underrated characters in the franchise, power wise, as if we break everything down - we can see that he was actually able to achieve quite a lot magically.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re discussing Severus Snape, Gellert Grindelwald, Spell Creation, the Qilin, and the latest Fantastic Beasts film: The Secrets of Dumbledore.  Okay- the title has probably confused you to no end. But, to be fair, it probably should- because the topic today’s video is centered around is all over the place. The focus of today’s video is a scene from the Secrets of the Dumbledore that contradicts Harry Potter canon as we know it. Well, at least that’s what it looks like.  This video idea was actually sent to me by one of my Instagram followers, so a big shout out to wills.hep on IG for bringing it to my attention. Go follow me on IG at HPTHEORY if you aren’t following already.  This video IS going to contain spoilers for the Secrets of Dumbledore so if you haven’t seen it yet then come back later!

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re discussing Voldemort’s reign in the second wizarding war, Hogwarts, Hogwarts FIRST YEAR STUDENTS, and wands.  Let’s dive in to it. Voldemort’s regime during the second wizarding war really flipped the wizarding world on its axis. Where once there was peace, now there was heartbreak, separation and destruction. He had successfully taken over the ministry of magic, torn apart Diagon Alley, and EVEN managed to breach the walls of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry- the world’s foremost magic school. The school, which had previously been overseen by powerful wizard (and good guy, maybe?) Albus Dumbledore, was no longer under his protection after his untimely death. Dumbledore’s vacancy left a big hole in Hogwarts, and without his protection, it didn’t take long for Voldemort and the Death Eaters to waltz right in. But the Death Eaters taking over Hogwarts certainly didn’t mean that classes would stop. Oh no. Class was still very much in session, just with a very…different set of rules and approach.  With a double-agent Snape taking the Headmaster helm, most of the school staff remained in their usual postings. However, a Death Eater takeover did of course mean that a few new faces were introduced to the faculty, like Alecto and Amycus Carrow- a pure blood brother/sister combo that took over Muggle Studies and Defence Against the Dark Arts (respectively). Ok Silas, we get it, class was still in session. What’s your point? Well, school in session meant that new faces were still popping up at Hogwarts. That’s right, just like Harry Potter in his first year- new, bright young witches and wizards were walking through the doors of Hogwarts for the very first time.  But, can you even begin to imagine how much different this experience would have been for these NEW first years? Harry was met with wonder, magic and excitement. These new first years must have been met with darkness, terror and uncertainty- entirely unsure of where the school stood admist Voldemort’s wizarding world takeover. Why were students even sent?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Dumbledore and 9 AWFUL things he did in the name of ‘the greater good’. Albus Dumbledore was the greatest Wizard of the 20th century… but he was also, strangely, one of the most reckless. In fact, if you took a look at a full list of the headmaster’s decisions, you’d find yourself shaking your head quite a lot, wondering how someone so smart, could simultaneously be so awful. Today, we’re going to take a look at some of these choices.  We’ll break down why exactly Dumbledore thought he was in the right… and why his decisions ended up being so awful.

Welcome to  Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing life in the Harry Potter universe AFTER the Battle of Hogwarts and Deathly Hallows...A time AFTER Voldemort's defeat. Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley’s marriage produced three children. Unlike their parents, most of the Potter children lived a peaceful, quiet life. But surprisingly… one of them… an ugly duckling sorted into Slytherin… nearly resurrected Lord Voldemort and destroyed the wizarding world as we know it. So… Who exactly were Harry’s children?  And what legacy did they leave behind?
