Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing (once again) the recently announced HBO Harry Potter TV Series!VERY BRIEF update for those unaware- Warner Bros. Discovery made headlines all around the world last week when they confirmed plans for a new Harry Potter series."Each season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic and beloved films will remain at the core of the franchise and available to watch globally."But- as I discussed in my PREVIOUS video on the topic - 'Recasting Harry Potter for HBO Max - Philosopher's Stone - I can't help but wonder about casting. With such big shoes to fill, casting for this series must be a bit hectic.That's why today I'm going to be picking up where I left off in the last video and casting for the SECOND installment of the Harry Potter series- the Chamber of Secrets.Like I mentioned last time, I want to see fresh faces for all of the child actors, so I'll be sticking to strictly some of the main ADULT characters introduced in the second book.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.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing some events and characters from the Harry Potter books that were subsequently omitted from the films. The fact that some of these events / characters were never shown on-screen has certainly always been a sore subject for Harry Potter book fans, but today I've got some good news.Just recently a new Harry Potter TV Show was announced for HBO- and I suspect that this could be what we have all been waiting for- a chance to finally view some of these unexplored moments, places and characters on-screen. The show is allegedly set to span a decade, and provided that the actors have to AGE to play their older selves, I'd be willing to bet that this 'decade' long promise is going to be somewhat accurate.-With that said, a decade long TV series exploring the books presents an awful lot of opportunity to uncover and unravel aspects of the story that may have never been brought to the silver-screen, and I'm here for it.Without further ado, here's 10 pieces of uncharted film territory.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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 Potter game Hogwarts Legacy.The idea of sacrificial protection is introduced in the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, when Harry's mother, Lily Potter, sacrifices herself to save her son from Voldemort's killing curse. Her love and selflessness creates a powerful magical protection that ultimately results in the end of Voldemort’s first reign of terror.But In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the concept of sacrificial protection is introduced once again and actually ends up playing a fairly major role in the ultimate defeat of Lord Voldemort.But this is all stuff you knew, what I want to uncover today is a lesser-known tidbit about this magic that may in fact have been the most powerful display of magic in the entire Harry Potter series. In fact, this piece of information was nearly entirely glossed over in the films.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing the recently announced HBO Harry Potter TV Series! For those who live under a rock, the announcement of a new Harry Potter HBO series made headlines all around the world this week.-"We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way," said HBO CEO Casey Bloys in a statement. "Harry Potter is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World.""Each season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic and beloved films will remain at the core of the franchise and available to watch globally."And while I'm excited about the new show there does seem to be one question that keeps re-entering my mind: Who's going to be in it?Part of this will depend entirely on what direction the show takes. If the show does in fact deep dive in to each of the books, as has been reported, then there are certainly going to be a lot of big shoes to fill.However, if they decide to give us a new perspective of the wizarding world and introduce a multitude of new main characters that are SPRINKLED IN amongst known characters, then I'd imagine casting would come a lot easier.From the sounds of things it's probably going to be more in line with the former, and that's why today I'm going to be recasting Harry Potter for 2023.Assuming that the series will start with the first book, the Philosopher's Stone, let's start there and recast some of the main characters from the first installment in the series.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.

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. But, I know that not all of you have the time to sit back, crack open a six pack of Fanta and listen in for hours at a time. This, of course, doesn't mean that you don't WANT to know about Severus. You just have other places to be and things to do. I get it.So, it's to you that I dedicate this video: The Life of Severus Snape in 10 Minutes!-See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the original cast members of Harry Potter- taking a look at what they're doing now.-It was just announced a few days ago on HBO's official Twitter page that Warner Bros will be-focusing on a new HBO Max Harry Potter TV Series. From the sounds of things, we'll be getting a new Harry Potter cast, but that's not confirmed, and that's always the possibility for a familiar face to pop up in the right context, which is why I wanted to explore what 50 main Harry Potter actors have been up to since the films ended....Let's get 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.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing the twisted origins of Gilderoy Lockhart --five time winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award. Specifically, we're going to be taking a deep dive in to this enigmatic wizards life, peeling back the layers of his formative years and figuring out how and.. WHY he turned out the way he did. We'll also be looking at what happened to him AFTER his last appearance in the books and films.There's a lot of information on Lockhart, so I've tried to narrow it down to just the most important stuff.Let's dive in to it.Gilderoy Lockhart was a British half-blood wizard born in the year 1964 to a witch mother and muggle father. He grew up alongside his 2 sisters, but because they turned out to be Squibs, he inevitably became his mother's favourite (being that he was the only other MAGICAL family member).Lockhart was a clever, good-looking boy, and when he realized quite early on that he was magical it went straight to his head- inflating his already massive ego even further.In 1975, at the age of 11, Lockhart first stepped foot through the doors of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry to begin his wizarding education. However, Lockhart quickly realized that Hogwarts was not quite what he had expected.Upon stepping foot in the magical castle he was met with sheer disappointment- suddenly coming to the crushing realization that at a school for witches and wizards- he was just another magical young boy. In the muggle world, Gilderoy was exceptional, but here he didn't stand out, and that's all he ever longed for.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
