The Mirror of Erised's DARK Origins - Harry Potter Theory

The Force in Star Wars is just Harry under an Invisibility Cloak. The Ford Anglia is Arthur Weasley’s Horcrux. Gandalf and Dumbledore are the same wizard. Harry Potter, Breaking Bad, Spongebob and REAL life all exist in the same universe. Lord Voldemort is a Pokemon.These are just a handful of the absurd theories I’ve seen posted online, and for the most part I try to center this channel around ‘good’ theories. At least, that’s the goal.But for today, I thought I’d dive deep in to the worst of the worst and peel back the layers of some the ABSOLUTE worst Harry Potter theories out there. This list is full of GOLD and some of them are pretty hilarious, so join me as we examine the dregs of the theorydom.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The 3 Unforgivable Curses: Imperio, Crucio and Avada Kedavra, are tremendously dangerous.  But why are THESE 3 spells in particular deemed UNFORGIVABLE when so many others aren’t?

What is the Wizarding World Like in 2024Who is Minister for Magic? What are Modern Brooms like? Who is Headmaster of Hogwarts? Are there Wizarding CELL PHONES? Is blood status STILL a controversial issue? And most importantly: are there any other NEW dark wizards on the rise? Today we'll be answering all of that and MORE as we discuss the Wizarding World in modern times.Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing the Wizarding World in the modern era.-It's been 26 prosperous years since Lord Voldemort made his final stand at the Battle of Hogwarts, finally meeting his end on May 2nd of 1998.-And since that time, the MUGGLE world has changed a whole lot. The Internet has become mainstream, smartphones are prolific, communication is instant and everything is online. And if we consider how much the MUGGLE world has developed since the late 90s, I'd wager that the Wizarding World has undergone something similar.I think that, since the momentous day that marked Voldemort's defeat, the Wizarding World has undergone a significant amount of change. Firstly, because they haven't a dark threat to deal with in MANY years, and secondly because technology (even wizarding technology) develops exponentially.The First Wizarding War ran from 1970-1981, and the Second Wizarding War ran from 1995-1998, which MEANS that this is the longest period of time (for quite some time) that the Wizarding World has been able to exist in relative peace.And with the focus shifting from dark threats to societal development, things can evolve pretty quickly. Just like a phoenix, wizarding society rose from the ashes and emerged from the second wizarding war stronger than ever.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

"Malfoy's been giving generously to all sorts of things for years... gets him in with the right people... then he can ask favours... delay laws he doesn't want passed... Oh, he's very well-connected, Lucius Malfoy."This quote got me thinking. Did...Lucius Malfoy, KNOWN Death Eater and proponent of pure-blood supremacy, actually BRIBE his way out of going to Azkaban? And if that's the case, why didn't money help Bellatrix in the same way?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.

In the world of Harry Potter, few objects are as chilling and enigmatic as Horcruxes - vessels of a dark wizard's soul created via only the most sinister acts of dark magic. And throughout Wizarding history, there has always been an eerie silence surrounding the subject of Horcruxes. These mysterious objects, ingrained with a fragment of a dark wizard's soul, have become the epitome of the taboo. The reason for this secrecy lying in both fear and preservation- with the mere mention of these cursed objects sending shivers down the spines of even the bravest witches and wizards.But for a young schoolboy by the name of Tom Riddle, Horcruxes represented something very different. To him, they represented an opportunity- an opportunity to gain the upper hand over other witches and wizards and achieve unparalleled levels of power. The allure of Horcruxes lay in the tantalizing promise of immortality and supremacy. As far back as early childhood, Riddle harbored ambitions far grander and more sinister than his peers. To him, Horcruxes weren't just objects of fear and secrecy; they were the key to unlocking a future in which he would reign unchallenged.And for the most part, Tom was able to succeed in his goal of harnessing the power of Horcruxes. But what I want to discuss today is another unspoken element of Horcrux creation that’s never been properly touched on..A SECRET from Voldemort’s past that may very well provide answers to some of the DARKEST questions related to Voldemort’s quest for immortality.Today we’ll answer all of that AND MORE as we dive in to the SECRET meanings behind each of Voldemort’s Horcruxes.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
