Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're delving into the realm of DELETED characters- 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by the likes of Harry, Hermione, and Ron, there exists a treasure trove of characters lying dormant in the scribblings, unpublished drafts and words spoken by J.K. Rowling during interviews.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.
