Why Ravenclaw’s Mascot Is NOT a Raven (2 THEORI...
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.

4 HUGE Differences Between Movie and Book Harry...
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! So, without further ado, let's dig 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.

15 SURPRISING Actor Replacements in Harry Potte...
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. Let's dive 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.

4 HUGE Differences Between Movie and Book Ron W...
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.

History of the Goblin Rebellions Explained (Hog...
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.

How Voldemort Made His Horcruxes (2 THEORIES) -...
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.

Why Couldn’t Voldemort KILL Dumbledore in the M...
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?

The TRUTH Behind Professor Trelawney’s Predicti...
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.

3 MAJOR Differences Between BOOK and MOVIE Herm...
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.

Who Was a BETTER Grindelwald? Johnny Depp VS Ma...
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.

All 13 MONSTERS from the Monster Book of Monste...
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.

How Do Headmaster’s Portraits Work? Are They AL...
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.

A History of Muggle + Wizard Affairs (ALL Wars ...
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.

Draco Malfoy VS James Potter: Who Was a Bigger ...
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!" But, oh, there is so much more... See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The 10 Most POWERFUL Magical Beings (SPECIES RA...
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.

All 15 Muggle-born Witches and Wizards in Harry...
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.
