Fantastic Beasts: Secrets of Dumbledore - My HONEST Review (Breakdown)

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. I made a video a couple of weeks ago discussing the recent casting for Severus Snape in the upcoming Harry Potter HBO series..And let's just say there were some strong opinions...In fact, that video got over THREE THOUSAND COMMENTS- and the basic gist of the conversation was this: people really care about who plays Snape- and rightly so.

As far as works of fiction go, the Harry Potter books are pretty mild.Sure, the books do get a LITTLE bit darker as the story goes on..But you’d never go so far as to deem it SATANIC or something..Right?Well, as it happens, many people DO think this way (I know, nuts), and ever since the first book hit the shelves in the late ‘90s, there have been waves of controversies surrounding the series—including some truly outrageous claims… Like Harry Potter being somehow synonymous with devil worship.And that’s just one of these flagrant claims.One asserts that the Harry Potter books act as an “open doorway that will put untold millions of kids into hell”Another claims that that the books are “worse than rat poison mixed with orange soda”And one religious figure even made the bold proclamation that: "Behind Harry Potter hides the signature of the king of the darkness, the devil.”These are REAL quotes.But..Now the question is: Are these assertions substantiated in ANY WAY?Today, we’re going to be tackling this topic head-on—unpacking why so many people believed Harry Potter served as a gateway to hell, what unfolded in the wake of these controversies, and why, despite all the backlash, the series not only survived…But became a global phenomenon.Let’s dive in to it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I've done a lot of spell videos. The most powerful, the most dangerous, the hardest to cast, but one I've always wanted to make involves taking a look at the most... Messed up.Not the deadliest. Not the flashiest. But the kind of spell that makes you question why someone would even invent it in the first place. Fortunately I've gone down the spell rabbit hole pretty deep- I've even made an entire video covering every single spell in the Wizarding World. So I've got a pretty solid grasp on the full spellbook.Which is why today, we're shining a light on the most messed up, demented spells the Wizarding World has to offer - spells that exist to inflict pain, humiliation, and sometimes just pure, senseless suffering.Instead of focusing on the obvious ones, my goal for this video will be to dig deeper into the cruel, obscure, and morally bankrupt curses, hexes, and jinxes that most of you probably haven't even heard of. But before we get stuck in, I do want to highlight one consideration: Sometimes, it's not about what the spell is inherently - it's about how it's used. Something that seems harmless on the outside - like a spell used to mend a broken teacup can quickly become a tool of torment in the wrong hands.Anyway..Let's dive into it.

What if I told you that there was a witch from Harry Potter lore that, despite possessing levels of power similar to the founders of Hogwarts..No one really talks about.This witch, known more commonly for her title as a 'sorceress' was known for her extraordinary magical abilities - so much so that her name became legend, even beyond the wizarding world. Her mastery over spells and enchantments rivaled that of the most powerful sorcerers in history, yet for some reason, she remains overlooked in most discussions of magic.But who was this witch? And why has her legacy faded into obscurity?Today we'll be discussing all of that and more.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. It's during the first book/film, the Philosopher's Stone, that Harry is first introduced to the Wizarding World. And upon his first discovery of this magical realm, he's filled with both excitement and confusion. "Harry - Yer a Wizard""I'm a what?" Gasped HarryThis was a boy who had, for all his waking years, endured a painfully DULL and oppressive life at 4 Privet drive alongside the Dursleys. And now, suddenly, in a single moment, an entire magical world seems to be calling his name.Potions. Spells. Magical Creatures. Magic Wands. All of it.And this sudden revelation of a hidden world offered not only a glimmer of hope - but also the promise of a life far beyond the ordinary.And what does Harry go and do?CAST absolutely no spells for the entire first film.No, really. Harry Potter, the BOY WHO LIVED, Voldemort SLAYER- doesn't cast ANYTHING.But.... What about when he.... And that time when they were...Nope. Nothing.
