The Shocking TRUTH Behind Blood Status and Magical Power - Harry Potter Theory
Blood status has been a controversial and longstanding source of division and prejudice in the Wizarding World, and it all stems from the categorization of magical bloodlines into pure-bloods, half-bloods, and muggle-borns. And while I don't condone demonizing any of these groups and certainly don't want to contribute to further prejudice, I can't help but wonder if there are actual physiological differences between them - beyond just their blood, of course. Voldemort's stance on blood purity

7 Major Events BEFORE The Harry Potter Story Started
Just recently I made a video on 7 things that occur after the Harry Potter story ended, that is, after the books and films concluded. This helped to introduce an element of closure to those who were wondering what may have happened next for Hogwarts, the trio, and the Wizarding World at large. And today we're going to be sticking to that same theme but flipping it on its head, exploring major events and wizarding conflicts that occured PRIOR to the first few iconic pages of the story that we've

How Powerful Is WANDLESS MAGIC in Harry Potter?
Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the MOST powerful wandless magic within the wizarding world at large. Within the Harry Potter series, it's hard to imagine the majority of the scenes that focus on magic - WITHOUT wands. There are just SO many important and pivotal scenes that all revolve around these magical devices. From the more innocent scenes of The Philosopher's Stone when Harry Potter himself steps into Ollivanders wand shop for the first time and Hermione school

Dumbledore Got It WRONG: The REAL History of the Deathly Hallows REVEALED - Harry Potter Theory
The legend of the Deathly Hallows is one of the most well-known stories in the wizarding world. Passed down through generations, it tells the tale of three wizard brothers who encounter Death and are each granted a powerful magical artifact: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak.- And what all 3 of these powerful items have in common is that they are able to perform extraordinary feats far beyond what is typically seen in the Wizarding World. The Resurrection Stone

But have you ever considered that maybe...Just maybe..the Other founders of Hogwarts had a few secrets of their own?

Harry Potter Fans Were NOT Happy about This...

Can EVERY First-Year Be Sorted Into the SAME Hogwarts House? - Harry Potter Theory
With Back to Hogwarts Day fast approaching, I started thinking about all of the young witches and wizards that will experience the Wizarding World for the first time. For many of them, it'll be their first time at platform 9 ¾, first time on the Hogwarts Express, and first time walking through the front doors of Hogwarts school. But one key aspect of this integration process that got me thinking pertains to none other than the Sorting Hat. Shortly after entering the Great Hall, each of these ne

Dumbledore was a SLYTHERIN (NOT a Gryffindor) - Harry Potter Theory
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

The Most DANGEROUS Goblin in Wizarding History (Slaughtered Thousands)
Goblins and wizards have never exactly seen eye to eye...Literally and figuratively. The short-statured humanoid creatures have long since been the subject of considerable prejudice within the Wizarding World, with Wizardkind often looking down on them both physically and socially.- And it's this discriminatory attitude that has led to tension and conflict over the centuries, as well as widespread mistrust and misunderstanding. Even the most progressive members of the wizarding world felt a ge

Why Are Modern Wizards so Much WEAKER? - Harry Potter Theory
Have you ever wondered why the witches and wizards of new are so..WEAK? The Hogwarts founders from the 10th century were supposed to have been 4 of the most skilled witches and wizards that the magical world had ever seen, with proof of this being the impressive magical institution they left behind. Then of course there's Merlin - another 10th century wizard that is supposed to have been the most powerful wizard of all time and was aptly named 'The Prince of Enchanters'. And a few centuries af

Where Are the 3 MYSTERY Wizarding Schools? - Harry Potter Theory
In the Goblet of Fire we are introduced to schools outside of Hogwarts for the first time. And while Hogwarts remains a top choice for many aspiring witches and wizards, the truth is that there exists a VAST world of magical education beyond the familiar walls of Hogwarts. There may not be as many options as say..Muggle schools..That much is obvious, but according to JK Rowling there are actually 11 major wizarding schools worldwide. "The number of countries that have their own magical school i

What REALLY Happens to Your Soul after a Dementor's Kiss? - Dark Harry Potter Theory
The consequences of tampering with the soul are not limited to the dark magic of Horcruxes. The wizarding world is fraught with other sinister forces that prey upon the soul, leading to outcomes just as terrifying. Among these, Dementors stand out as one of the most feared creatures, embodying the very essence of despair and hopelessness. Unlike Horcruxes, which represent the deliberate, self-inflicted damage to one's own soul, Dementors attack the soul from the outside, draining you of the ver

Top 5 CREEPIEST Harry Potter Theories
Over the years I've discussed hundreds (if not THOUSANDS of theories) about the Wizarding World at large. I try to challenge aspects of the story (within reason) and build arguments to convince YOU that these theories hold merit. HOWEVER, there is also a time and a place for SHOCK value, and I think it's safe to say that the theories contained in today's video are some of the most shocking to date. That's not to say that they don't make sense- many of them are still plausible- but their disturb

7 Major Events AFTER The Harry Potter Story Ended
To say that the Harry Potter books and films ended a long time ago would be a severe understatement. As of writing this, it's been a whopping 27 years since the Philosopher's Stone was first published, and 13 years since the last Harry Potter film hit the silver screen. And while I feel that both mediums sufficiently developed the characters/story, reading the last few pages of the final book left me longing for more. We got so much! Yet...It still feels like we didn't get enough. Which is why

Hagrid is Secretly RICH - Harry Potter Theory
When we think of WEALTHY individuals from the Harry Potter story there are a few people and/or wizarding families that come to mind.- First and foremost: The Malfoys- a wealthy, pureblood wizarding family known for their influence in the wizarding world and their affiliation with dark magic. The Malfoys built their immense wealth in 1066 when their distant ancestor, Armand Malfoy, arrived in England with William the Conqueror. Next up, we've got the Lestranges - another wealthy pureblood famil

This Dark Wizard Fooled EVERYONE for 600 Years (the Philosopher's Stone Is FAKE)
What if there was an ancient DARK wizard that POSED as one of the good guys for over 6 centuries? And what if I told you that he had EVERYONE fooled, INCLUDING Dumbledore and Voldemort? How could a seemingly benevolent wizard pull this off? What DARK deeds was he involved with? And how did he conceal his true nature from the Wizarding World for so many hundreds of years? Today we're going to be discussing all of that, and more, as we dive in to the TRUE nature of famed alchemist Nicolas Flamel
