Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the fabled Deathly Hallows, Barty Crouch Jr, and methods of Invisibility. Specifically, we're going to be honing in on WHAT types of invisibility are achievable, and how on earth Barty Crouch Jr was able to get his hands on a cloak of invisibility.Let's get in to it.Now, when it comes to the magical world of Harry Potter let it first be known that there are various ways of achieving invisibility. The fabled invisibility cloak is but just one of FOUR ways that one might be able to DISAPPEAR from the naked eye.Invisibility refers to the magical ability to become invisible and undetectable, and in order to achieve this useful feat one can go about it a multitude of ways, starting with the MAIN topic of today's video...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 diving DEEP in to the subject of Horcruxes, and discussing a historical figure who created a Horcrux LONG before Voldemort ever did. And it's NOT who you think.JK Rowling once revealed that, over the course of history, many witches and wizards tried to create a horcrux, in spite of a severe lack of instruction from evil textbooks."...wizards would have been looking for ways to do exactly what Voldemort did for years. And some of the ways they would have tried would've killed them. So, I imagine it- well, they're huge parallels- splitting the atom would be a very good parallel in our world. . . . I do imagine that other people are going to have tried. I think it would be naive not to think that people have been trying for a long time, and thought they succeeded and hadn't, or else maimed themselves or killed themselves in the attempt. It's such a dangerous thing to do."-What this quote tells me is that maybe, just maybe, there's a wizard out there that was able to produce a horcrux before ANYONE else- they just never made it in to the history books. After all, if the idea of producing a horcrux is self-preservation, why would you want to boast about it and bring it to everyone's attention?I happen to have one very good guess for WHO this wizard might be, the ORIGINAL Horcrux creator, but first, let's look at the other wizards in Harry Potter canon who are credited as having created Horcruxes AND let's look at what exactly a Horcrux IS.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 looking into the early life of Barty Crouch Junior - with a particular focus on how he became so terribly EVIL. That is, what happened to him during his childhood and adolescence that may have contributed to the incredibly dark wizard he turned out to be? In looking further into his life, it seems that his capacity for doing terrible things came from a combination of innate evilness and mental instability...here's what I learned about the character who's story was never told in the movies.The second of his name, Barty was officially born Bartemius Crouch Junior sometime during the year of 1962 to a Bartemius Crouch Senior and a frail, wispy-looking witch known only as Mrs. Crouch. Growing up, Barty Junior was described as a pale boy with straw-coloured hair and freckles.The Crouches came from a long line of pureblooded witches and wizards, with Barty Senior holding a prominent position in the British Ministry of Magic even back in the 1960s. As it were, Mr. Crouch was extremely focused on hunting down dark wizards and held great ambitions of one day becoming Minister for Magic - so much so that he rarely had time for his son. With this information, it's easy to assume that Barty Senior spent much of his time at the Ministry, and very little of it at home with his family.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 top 10 mistakes that the first Harry Potter film made that the new HBO Max SHOW can FIX.-When The Philosopher's Stone movie came out in 2001, Harry Potter fans all over the world flocked to theatres to see their favourite boy wizard brought to life. And while the film truly was magical in its day, it made a fair amount of mistakes when compared to the novel.With so much detail to cram into a two-and-a-half-hour movie, it's completely understandable that certain aspects of the book were unable to make it into the film version of The Philosopher's Stone. But in addition to some of these omissions, there were also just other, well, MISTAKES.Today, I'll be taking you through 10 of the most obvious mistakes from the first Harry Potter film, which I believe the new reboot of the series can FIX.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 ALL of the memories that we see through the Pensieve in Harry Potter-8 of which were NOT SHOWN in the movies.Rare and powerful, the majority of Pensieves are typically quite small devices that, due to their incredibly personal nature, are often kept on one's person. Of course, one very notable exception of this is the large Pensieve located in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This Pensieve is used to store all of the school's Headmasters memories so that their predecessors may watch and learn from them. It's described as large, ornate, ancient, and made entirely out of stone, with engravings of modified Saxon runes etched all over it. It is also said to be so old that some witches and wizards believe that the Hogwarts' Pensieve predates even the school's castle.To use a Pensieve one needs only to extract a memory, deposit it into the Pensieve's basin, give it a stir, and immerse oneself into the memory. Often described as wispy or gossamer in appearance, memories in this form are believed to be neither liquid nor solid, and are used as described by Albus Dumbledore in the following passage:-"One simply syphons the excess thoughts from one's mind, pours them into the basin, and examines them at one's leisure. It becomes easier to spot patterns and links, you understand, when they are in this form."As readers of the books will recall, the Pensieve was used quite frequently throughout the series after its introduction in the fourth novel, The Goblet of Fire. In the films, however, it shows up substantially less.So, in honour of the new HBO Max reboot of the series that was recently announced, I've decided to share with you ALL of the Pensieve memories from the original novels.-Let's dive right in.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
