Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. The wizarding world has captivated our imaginations for decades- a realm filled with magic, wonder, and extraordinary beings. But have you ever noticed that in this vast Magical World, there is a distinct absence of Muggle Technology? While the functionality of muggle tech may PALE in comparison with the capabilities of magic, we do have to remember that the Wizarding World is host to all kinds of magical beings- Muggle Borns included.-And while the wizarding world may sometimes seem like a separate realm altogether, the surprisingly high number of Muggle-born witches and wizards that find themselves integrated into this enchanted society do bring with them a distinctly UNIQUE type of knowledge.-Where Arthur Weasley (A PURE-BLOOD wizard) may find himself entirely preoccupied overanalyzing the functionality of a Rubber Duck, a young Muggleborn wizard may be versed in an entire world's worth of advanced tech.I wonder- with SOME knowledge of modern technology from the Muggle world, why don't we see the use of more Muggle technology in the wizarding world?And if Muggle Tech did make an appearance in the Wizarding World, would it be a net NEGATIVE or net POSITIVE?And is the distinct lack of Muggle Tech a deliberate choice made by the Wizarding community, or are there inherent limitations that prevent the incorporation of such tech?Today, we're going to be exploring these very topics and attempting to decipher whether or not MUGGLE TECH has a place in Wizarding Society.Let's dive in.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 fan theory that Rubeus Hagrid was a DEATH EATER.Since the original release of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone in 1997, theories based on the wizarding world of Harry Potter have abounded. There are theories out there that Professor Severus Snape was a vampire and that Hermione and Harry were actually siblings. Some of these theories are more popular and widespread than others - such as the idea that Neville Longbottom was actually the Chosen One Professor Trelawney spoke of in her prophecy about the downfall of Lord Voldemort. There are also outlandish speculations that barely deserve any discussion. Today, however, I'll be taking you through a fan theory that has gained some massive traction online - the idea that Rubeus Hagrid was in fact a Death Eater.The majority of this theory has been presented by a Reddit user by the name of Whoofph, who shared his theory on the sub-Reddit "FanTheories". Upon first learning of this theory, I must admit - I was skeptical. How could the blundering, yet lovable half-giant, who rescued Harry from the Dursleys, secretly be a dark wizard in DIRECT conflict with those he was supposed to be allied with? But after reading it, I must admit, the theory is compelling and filled with some incredibly plausible evidence. It is worth noting, however, that the author of the theory has conceded that much of "the evidence" against Hagrid can likely be chalked up to plot holes, especially earlier on in the series - but it's still fascinating to see how it all fits so well together to support the idea that Hagrid could have actually been a double agent, and follower of Lord Voldemort. As another fan pointed out, the idea that this could be true also provides a really interesting balance to Severus Snape being a double agent for Dumbledore.In any case, let's take a look at some of the most valid points - at least in my opinion - that support the idea that Hagrid was a Death Eater from this popular fan theory...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 10 myths about the Harry Potter series.Since the release of the first Harry Potter novel in June of 1997, the wizarding world of Harry and his friends has continued to expand. What started off as a relatively small magical community that only focused on the United Kingdom, grew into a global universe and phenomenon with new and exciting narratives being brought to life in Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa. What was once known as Pottermore - a site where fans could go to learn more about the magical world of Harry Potter - became the Wizarding World and grew to include new franchises like Fantastic Beasts and short stories about things like the founding of North American wizarding school, Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.-So, while at one point in time, over 25 years ago, it may have been somewhat easy to keep the magical constructs that made up the wizarding world of Harry Potter straight, it has since become increasingly difficult to truly know EVERYTHING about this magical universe. As a result, sometimes even the most devoted fans get details about Harry Potter...well, WRONG. And with fans' certainty that they are correct - answering queries on Reddit and other web forums - it's not surprising that some of these myths about the series have gained lives of their own, and have been circulated around the Internet as fact.Which is why, in today's video, I'll be taking you through 10 of the most pervasive myths out there - some of which may even surprise you!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
