3 DARKEST Moments from the Harry Potter Books (Not Shown in the Movies)
Ron Weasley’s older brothers, Fred and George Weasley, are typically known by fans as the mischievous twin brothers defined by pranks, jokes, and light-hearted chaos. And while most of the time their behaviour consists of harmless troublemaking, there are actually a few moments throughout the series where Fred and George’s actions become far more questionable. There are three moments in particular
100 MAJOR Events AFTER Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Today we’re going to be taking a look at everything that happened after the main Harry Potter story came to an end. After the Deathly Hallows. Once Voldemort was defeated and the Battle of Hogwarts was over.

Who Created the Unforgivable Curses? I Finally Figured It Out.. - Harry Potter Theory
The 3 Unforgivable Curses: Imperio, Crucio and Avada Kedavra, are perhaps the most infamous spells in the entire Wizarding World.
But despite their widespread notoriety, very little is actually known about them. Why are they unforgivable? How do they work? And most importantly..
Who actually created them?
I think I figured it out...

Why Didn’t Grindelwald Recruit Tom Riddle? - Harry Potter Theory
A while back I made a video called ‘Why Didn't Voldemort Try to RECRUIT Grindelwald?’, and basically- the focus of that video was why Voldemort never made any attempts to recruit an imprisoned Grindelwald at Nurmengard. On both occasions that Voldemort rose to power, Grindelwald was sitting in a locked tower, so it always felt a bit peculiar to me that he wouldn’t have tried to recruit the most po

The REAL Reason Dumbledore Let Sirius ROT In Azkaban - Harry Potter Theory
Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. At the end of the First Wizarding War, there were a lot of GUILTY people being charged with some pretty heinous crimes. Voldemort was gone, pretty much everyone affiliated with him was caught, and the Ministry and greater wizarding community were left with the incredibly difficult task of prosecuting those who had sided with Vold
The Harry Potter Plot Hole That Changes EVERYTHING
In the wizarding world, few magical concepts spark as many “what if” debates as the ability to alter the past. If it could be used to save both Buckbeak and Sirius, why didn’t anyone just go a little further? Why not stop Cedric Diggory’s death? Or warn Lily and James before Voldemort arrived? Why not save Dumbledore, or even stop Voldemort’s rise altogether by sabotaging Tom Riddle’s past?

5 MASSIVE Plot Holes in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
So far in this PLOT HOLE series we’ve covered Philosopher’s Stone, Chamber of Secrets, and Prisoner of Azkaban. And if one thing has become obvious through this process, it’s that the Harry Potter books (although incredible) are not without their little inconsistencies and world-building issues. And in Goblet of Fire… Things get a bit worse.
Because this is the book where Rowling massively expand

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.
So far in this series we’ve covered Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets (parts 1 and 2, go check those out if you haven’t already), and if there’s one thing that’s abundantly clear it’s that the deeper you dig into these books, the more strange little contradictions and logical issues you start uncovering. And in that res
5 MASSIVE Plot Holes in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Hey everyone, welcome to Harry Potter Theory.
In my most recent video I broke down some of the biggest plot holes in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. And before I had even finished writing the script for that video, I realized there were probably enough plot holes in each book for this to be a video series.
Once you start looking closely enough, you begin noticing all sorts of strange
5 HUGE Harry Potter Plot Holes (Philosopher’s Stone Edition)
Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. As much as I enjoy the Harry Potter books, to say that they are without their faults would be massively dishonest. In fairness there are 7 books equating to over 4000 pages, so mistakes are probably inevitable when you’re dealing with a story so LONG and so COMPLEX. But regardless of that, mistakes DO exist. Specifically, I’m talking about PLOT HOLES.

Hagrid Bought Fluffy From the Most EVIL DARK Wizard in Harry Potter (THEORY)
For casuals, the name Herpo the Foul isn’t going to mean a lot, and that’s because his origins come from the deepest parts of Harry Potter lore. But those who do know the name will also know that he was one of the darkest wizards in wizarding history, the man (if you could call him that) credited with creating the very first Horcrux—crossing a magical line so horrific most witches and wizards bare
What Spell Did Molly Weasley Use to KILL Bellatrix? - Harry Potter Theory

Today we’re going to be taking a closer look at one of the most satisfying and honestly most surprising moments in the entire Battle of Hogwarts: Molly Weasley defeating Bellatrix Lestrange. More specifically, we’ll be examining how the books and films portray the moment differently- because despite reaching the same outcome, the
The OTHER Dark Wizards of the Wizarding World - Harry Potter Explained
The Harry Potter series makes Britain often (and by often, I mean..Always) feel like the center of all wizarding conflict. Voldemort. Death Eaters. First Wizarding War. Second Wizarding War. All that good stuff.
But to me the idea that almost all of the global wizarding problems can be narrowed down to a 200,000 square kilometre stretch of islands has always felt a little hard to believe. And

Rather than looking at individual characters, the videos focus will be on the world itself- taking a closer look at things like forbidden magic, dark spells, institutions like Azkaban, origins of dementors and the
Why the First Wizarding War Was SO MUCH WORSE Than the Second - Harry Potter Explained
By the time Harry Potter sets foot in Hogwarts in the first book/film, the First Wizarding War is already a thing of the past. And at the same time, the Second Wizarding War is beginning to take shape, the primary focus of the books and films.
But what I’ve always found interesting is that despite its scale and destruction, The First Wizarding War is typically treated as little more than distan

Hey everyone, Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re going to once again be discussing House Elves—but this time..From a slightly different angle. I’ve already explored their history, and I’ve already taken a closer look at how they ended up in servitude. But one thing I’ve never dissected in much detail is…

Did Harry Potter Really Have No Other Relatives? (The DARK Truth)
In the recent HBO Harry Potter trailer we got to see something we’ve never seen before- our first glimpse at Harry’s grandparents on his mother’s side. They appear standing alongside Vernon & Petunia Dursley in their wedding photo, with (presumably) Vernon’s parents on one side, and Petunia’s parents (aka, LILY’s parents) on the other.

After the Battle of Hogwarts, the wizarding world was finally able to celebrate the defeat of Lord Voldemort and the end of the Second Wizarding War- ushering in a new era of peace.
For the first time in years, witches and wizards were no longer living under open tyranny, and the institutions that had been corrupted by Voldemort’s regime could finally begin to recover. Hogwarts needed to be re

Will the Harry Potter Reboot Use the 'Proper" Voldemort? (Unused Original Design)

The Most TERRIFYING Fate in Harry Potter (It’s Not Death)
The soul. You can split it, you can curse it, you can even anchor it to the living world through dark and forbidden magic. The soul, in the wizarding world, is more than just a metaphysical concept; it is a tangible, manipulable force that reflects the very essence of a person's being.
But what happens it when someone moves on to the next plane of existence?

Does Casting Black Snape ACTUALLY Change the Story? (Let’s Break It Down)
It’s been a couple of weeks now since the official release of the first teaser trailer for HBO’s Harry Potter reboot and that means we’ve finally gotten a glimpse at what the show has to offer. No more speculation, it’s all there in plain sight (at least, a lot of it). If I’m honest I have to say that while the show will never (at least for me) match up to the original films, I was pleasantly surp
What Spells Do the “Good Guys” Use to Kill Death Eaters - Harry Potter Theory
Murder or KILLING splits the soul. This is reinforced time and time again.
But despite this fact, we see it happen again and again throughout the Harry Potter series, and not just by the bad guys.
It makes sense for Death Eaters to kill..It’s clear where their moral compass lies and I would presume that KILLING (and the subsequent impact on their soul) is the price they’re willing to pay to

Every Spell Dumbledore CREATED (That Most Fans Don’t Know About)
Snape is praised for inventing spells like Sectumsempra, Levicorpus and the Muffliato Charm.
And during his lifetime, Voldemort pushed these limits even further- eclipsing him by creating entirely unique (and never before seen) pieces of magic like Unsupported Flight, the protection orb spell (the one he used on Nagini), and the infamous DADA curse.

Paapa Essiedu FINALLY Speaks Out After Snape Casting Backlash - My Thoughts
It was announced just over a year ago now that Paapa Essiedu would be taking on the role of Snape in the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series. Aaand it’s been a pretty controversial casting to say the least.
In fact, it’s gotten to the point where you really can’t have a discussion about any aspect of the series without people bringing it up.
And up until now, Essiedu himself hadn’t actually addres
Wizards Are JUST AS BAD as Voldemort (Here’s Why)

But that prejudice extends beyond Muggles.
Voldemort is so committed to this doctrine that he also rejects half-bloods
All 15 Spells & Curses Voldemort CREATED - Harry Potter Explained
By the time the Harry Potter story takes place, there’s already a lot of magic floating around the wizarding world. And in many instances, because this magic already exists when we’re introduced to it… It doesn’t really stand out.
But the truth is that much of this magic only exists because of Voldemort.
And if we consider that he died at just 71 years old, that means some of the most inventive

In my last video I discussed how the Harry Potter film franchise effectively butchered Voldemort’s character by omitting huge portions of his backstory.

Why is he obsessed with
Why Voldemort’s DARK Origins Were CUT From the Movies
Bold statement here, but if you never read the books- then I’m not sure you understand Voldemort’s character as well as you might think. Because interestingly, despite Voldemort being the primary antagonist in the books and films, as well as arguably the second most important character (next to Harry, of course)- a lot of his origin story actually never made it onto the big screen.

What Were House Elves BEFORE They Served Wizardkind? - Harry Potter Theory

But in one of my previous videos—The History of House-Elves—I introduced the idea that house-elves are likely not a natural, original species at all, but rather the end resu
