Harry’s Most POWERFUL Magic NOT Shown in the Movies
Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Now, lately I’ve talked a lot about Sacrificial Protection - an ancient, potent and enduring counter-charm that’s invoked when an individual willingly and selflessly sacrifices themselves out of a profound and unadulterated love to protect the lives of their loved ones. And the reason that it’s been brought up is that Sacrificial Protection is in fact a form of Ancient Magic- which has come to the forefront of many Harry Potter fan’s minds through the new Harry P

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the life of the infamous Professor Severus Snape- from childhood to death- in under 10 minutes. With a life like Severus Snape's, that created such public - not to mention INFAMOUS - speculation throughout the wizarding world, it's easy to understand why so many of the videos and resources out there describing his life are so, so VERY long.

The TRUTH About the NEW Harry Potter TV Show
Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing a bit of Harry Potter NEWS- specifically, news pertaining to the possibility of a new Harry Potter TV show.

Well, throughout the centuries, Slytherin hasn't always had the best reputation. In fact, it started off with a pretty poor one almost as soon as it was founded. This is, of course, because the founding wizard of Slytherin House, Salazar Slytherin had what we might call a rather ... "limited" view

The REAL Reason Harry Resisted Avada Kedavra SO MANY TIMES - Harry Potter Explained
Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing a character that you MAY have heard of. I am of course talking about the primary protagonist for the Harry Potter story- Harry Potter himself. Now, ever since the last book came out, Harry has been on the receiving end of a considerable amount of scrutiny- at least, from some of the internet.
