Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Ghost Plots.You might not be too surprised to hear that Rowling, who wrote the 7 Harry Potter books in a 10 year timespan, generated a fair bit of information (storylines, plots, characters) that simply never made it in to the final versions of the beloved books. And in time, these secondary pieces of information have come to be known as ‘Ghost Plots’.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 taking a look at aspects of the Harry Potter universe that everyone seems to remember…The wrong way. And partly to blame for all of this is the fact that the Harry Potter books were adapted to film.The short answer for WHY all of this happened is that in transforming the beloved book series into movies, a lot of liberties were taken.Characters personalities were changedScenes that NEVER occurred were addedCharacter roles were switchedAnd in many cases, aspects of the books were outright omittedBut now that so many years have passed, a lot of these movie misconceptions have become so ingrained that they've completely overwritten how we remember the original Harry Potter books. How you perceive this video will depend entirely on how you engaged with the series. For some, the films were too frustrating to finish — filled with inaccuracies that clashed with the books- and by going down this path their memory of the books (and more importantly, accurate information) remained intact. But for many others, the books and movies have blended together into one seamless version of the story. Harry Potter as a whole became an amalgamation of both book and film — with the lines between them increasingly blurred.And in many instances these changes became so pervasive that they overwrote how nearly everyone remembered the source material.After you’ve watched the video, let me know how many of these things YOU remembered the wrong way. Be honest.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

When we’re first exposed to the Harry Potter story, Gryffindor are introduced as the ‘good’ guys. They can’t do any wrong, can they?Slytherin Bad. Gryffindor good.But, it’s not really that simple, is it?Because when you actually look past the golden glow of Gryffindor House — past the roaring lion mascot, the impressive Quidditch performances, and the constant rule-breaking that somehow always gets rewarded 100 house points at the end of the year — what you start to see is a culture that’s not exactly representative of moral superiority or emotional maturity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Albus Dumbledore is widely regarded as the most powerful wizard of his time. Some may say Voldemort, or even Grindelwald, but in my opinion- Dumbledore had something special that the others didn't. He was truly one of a kind.Or...Was he?My question today is: was Dumbledore as special as we make him out to be? Does he deserve to be pedestalized to the extent that he is? Or is it possible that someone else could reach- or even surpass- his level of power?Surely SOMEONE has the potential to match him, right? And if so..Who?

Boggarts, as we understand them, are essentially the manifestation of our deepest darkest fears. Amortal shape-shifting non-beings that transform themselves in to whatever it is that we fear most. No one knows what their true form looks like (except maybe Mad-Eye Moody), no one knows where they come from, and no one knows..WHY they exist.So today, we're going to be busting these questions wide open: exploring WHAT they are, WHERE they come from, and why they're one of the most terrifying creatures in all of Harry Potter lore.

Today we’re going to be discussing James Potter..And why I think he was actually kind of…awful. Now, before you rush to the comments, hear me out. I know James is Harry’s father. I know he fought Voldemort. And I know he eventually became a good person who died protecting his family. But if we take a closer look at who James was during his years at Hogwarts, the picture we get is a lot less flattering.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Quick video for you today on the most recent update from HBO which includes their finalized casting decisions for a number of the main actors in season 1 of the Harry Potter TV show, which will be an adaptation of the Philosopher's Stone.Many of these names have been thrown around over the past few months, but few had actually been confirmed.And interestingly, there are a few names and characters here that slipped through the cracks entirely. In total there are 6 names. I'll start with the ones that I didn't know about up until the announcement, then go into the others.
