Hey everyone, welcome to a special installment of Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be diving back through the years on the channel and discussing 10 Harry Potter Theories that all pertain to our favourite double agent SEVERUS SNAPE. The range of theories is pretty broad, and they paint Snape in a bunch of different lights. They cover his hidden motivations, secret talents, and answer some questions about his origins. As this is a compilation style video spanning YEARS of the...

Hey everyone. Welcome to another instalment of Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be taking a look at some of the most well known characters who show up in the Harry Potter series, but whose Hogwarts houses are never identified. For anyone who’s read or watched the Harry Potter series, the four houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are common knowledge. Based on the four founding members of the school, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin,...

"It is often said of the Malfoy family that you will never find one at the scene of the crime, though their fingerprints might be all over the guilty wand. Independently wealthy, with no need to work for a living, they have generally preferred the role of power behind the throne, happy for others to do the donkey work and to take the responsibility for failure. They have helped finance many of their preferred candidates’ election campaigns, which have (it is alleged) included paying for dirty...

Today we’re going to be taking a look at one of the most beloved, innocent, and selfless characters of the entire series- Dobby.  Dobby the big hearted House Elf makes his first appearance in the Chamber of Secrets- when he enters the home of #4 privet drive at perhaps the worst moment imaginable- the same day that Vernon Dursley, Harry's terrible uncle, is having a very important business dinner. Dobby did, however, act with good intentions, and from this moment onwards he continued to win...

The First major Wizarding War in the Harry Potter universe was a catastrophic period in wizarding history that lasted a whopping 11 years. The war started when Voldemort, obsessed with pure-blood supremacy, sought to overthrow the existing magical order and establish himself as the ruler of both the wizarding and non-magical worlds. The war officially ended on October 31, 1981, when Voldemort's curse to kill the infant Harry Potter rebounded upon him, destroying his physical form and...

Wands are a crucial and commonly discussed aspect of the Harry Potter series. They serve as the tool that allow witches and wizards to channel and harness their magical abilities.   And throughout the series, the significance of wands is highlighted through the emphasis on wandlore, the notion of wand ownership, and the pivotal role wands play in duels and magical combat.  But for some reason…GOBLINS aren’t allowed to use them. Goblins are given full control of the financial system,...

The Force in Star Wars is just Harry under an Invisibility Cloak. The Ford Anglia is Arthur Weasley’s Horcrux. Gandalf and Dumbledore are the same wizard. Harry Potter, Breaking Bad, Spongebob and REAL life all exist in the same universe. Lord Voldemort is a Pokemon. These are just a handful of the absurd theories I’ve seen posted online, and for the most part I try to center this channel around ‘good’ theories. At least, that’s the goal. But for today, I thought I’d dive deep in to the...

The Fantastic Beasts films left us on a MASSIVE cliffhanger. The Dark Wizard Gellert Grindelwald is STILL at large and the movies just…ENDED? Fortunately for us, we know how his story plays out, and we can attribute that to established Harry Potter lore. But as for the films..Those are over. So, what I want to know is..What happened to him along the way? What happened AFTER 1932? What happened to Gellert Grindelwald? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The 3 Unforgivable Curses: Imperio, Crucio and Avada Kedavra, are tremendously dangerous.   But why are THESE 3 spells in particular deemed UNFORGIVABLE when so many others aren’t? I mean, I’d argue that there are worse spells out there that are MORE deserving of this title. Today we’re going to be discussing all of this, and more, as we dive in to the history of the unforgivable curses, exploring their origins and classification.  Let’s dive in.

Is blood status STILL a controversial issue? And most importantly: are there any other NEW dark wizards on the rise? Today we’ll be answering all of that and MORE as we discuss the Wizarding World in modern times. Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be diving in to 40 moments from the Harry Potter series that NOBODY saw coming. 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...

"Malfoy's been giving generously to all sorts of things for years... gets him in with the right people... then he can ask favours... delay laws he doesn't want passed... Oh, he's very well-connected, Lucius Malfoy." This quote got me thinking. Did...Lucius Malfoy, KNOWN Death Eater and proponent of pure-blood supremacy, actually BRIBE his way out of going to Azkaban? And if that’s the case, why didn’t money help Bellatrix in the same way? Let’s dive in to it. Learn more about your ad...

In the world of Harry Potter, few objects are as chilling and enigmatic as Horcruxes - vessels of a dark wizard's soul created via only the most sinister acts of dark magic.  And throughout Wizarding history, there has always been an eerie silence surrounding the subject of Horcruxes. These mysterious objects, ingrained with a fragment of a dark wizard's soul, have become the epitome of the taboo. The reason for this secrecy lying in both fear and preservation- with the mere mention of these...

"Avada..." This was what Lucius Malfoy began to utter upon the realization that he had just lost his House Elf servant, Dobby. Fortunately, he never got to complete what he was trying to say, and I suspect that if he HAD been able to complete the incantation of what we can only assume was meant to be ‘Avada Kedavra’, it would have had disastrous consequences. But why was Lucius Malfoy uttering Killing Curses outside of the Headmasters office in the halls of Hogwarts? What was going through...

"I thought he would come," said Voldemort in his high, clear voice, his eyes on the leaping flames. "I expected him to come." These were the words ushered from Voldemort’s mouth just moments before Harry Potter met his apparent demise. In this moment, Harry had made the choice to sacrifice himself in order to protect his friends- exchanging his own life for the safety of every other witch and wizard who bravely fought against Voldemort’s forces. And for a little while, it looked as though...

The introduction of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1692 marked a pivotal moment in Wizarding history. It put a stop to the witch hunts and unjust persecution of witches and wizards. It ushered in an era of harmonious co-existence. And most importantly, it separated the two worlds: muggle and magical. But what IF there was a darker element to the statute that has never been properly explored?- an element that concerned the muggles beyond the primary separation of the two worlds?...

Voldemort’s conception was..Unusual to say the least, and it was the loveless union between his parents that set in motion his path of psychopathy. With a mother that chose death over her infant child, and a father that abandoned the both of them, it’s fair to say that Voldemort never stood much of a chance.  But what if Voldemort’s origin story isn’t exactly what we thought it was? What if Merope Gaunt, accused of giving Voldemort’s father Tom Riddle Sr a love potion..Never did anything of...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. The first encounter between Albus Dumbledore and Tom Riddle was in 1938, when Dumbledore visits Wool’s Orphanage to offer Tom a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. During their meeting, Dumbledore informs Tom about the existence of the wizarding world and his magical heritage, and Tom, who had already sensed his own powers, is intrigued by the prospect of attending Hogwarts.  At the time, Tom was an 11-year-old orphan who had exhibited signs...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Wizarding conflicts. In the wizarding world of Britain, the threat of Lord Voldemort and his followers, the Death Eaters, cast a dark, ominous shadow over the entire magical population- a shadow that persisted for a long long time.

Under his leadership, the Death Eaters mercilessly targeted and persecuted those who opposed them, instilling fear throughout...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing the VEIL. Deep within the heart of the Ministry of Magic lies a chilling enigma that has confounded wizards and witches for centuries – the Veil - a haunting manifestation nestled within the Death Chamber of the Department of Mysteries.  Its ethereal presence has long been regarded as a mystical and enigmatic artifact.
