Why Didn't Lucius Malfoy Go to Azkaban after BOTH Wizarding Wars? - Harry Potter Theory
"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. See Privacy Policy at https://art

This Dark Harry Potter Theory TOTALLY CHANGES Voldemort’s Horcruxes
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 cu

Was Lucius Really Going to KILL Harry in the Chamber of Secrets? - Harry Potter Theory
"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 hi

Dumbledore LIED: The REAL Reason Harry Survived Voldemort’s Avada Kedavra Revealed (THEORY)
"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 this

The Ministry of Magic CONTROLS the Muggle Prime Minister - Harry Potter Theory
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? What

Voldemort's Father LIED About the Love Potion (His True Origins) - Harry Potter Theory
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 the

However, the creation of these sinister objects comes at an unthinkable cost, leading us to wonder what dark ma

How Draco SAVED Harry from the BASILISK in the Chamber of Secrets (THEORY)
Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be taking a look at five Draco Malfoy theories that have recently caught my eye.- To start, I'd like to acknowledge that there are loads of debates out there between fans as to whether Malfoy was a redeemable character or not. There seems to be two very distinct camps – one that believes Draco was a snake at the beginning of the series, and an even bigger snake at the end; and another that believes he was simply brought up in an environment of hate b
