Harry Potter’s Gonna Send Me to HELL (Controversy Explained)

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.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. I made a video a couple of weeks ago discussing the recent casting for Severus Snape in the upcoming Harry Potter HBO series..And let's just say there were some strong opinions...In fact, that video got over THREE THOUSAND COMMENTS- and the basic gist of the conversation was this: people really care about who plays Snape- and rightly so.

I've done a lot of spell videos. The most powerful, the most dangerous, the hardest to cast, but one I've always wanted to make involves taking a look at the most... Messed up.Not the deadliest. Not the flashiest. But the kind of spell that makes you question why someone would even invent it in the first place. Fortunately I've gone down the spell rabbit hole pretty deep- I've even made an entire video covering every single spell in the Wizarding World. So I've got a pretty solid grasp on the full spellbook.Which is why today, we're shining a light on the most messed up, demented spells the Wizarding World has to offer - spells that exist to inflict pain, humiliation, and sometimes just pure, senseless suffering.Instead of focusing on the obvious ones, my goal for this video will be to dig deeper into the cruel, obscure, and morally bankrupt curses, hexes, and jinxes that most of you probably haven't even heard of. But before we get stuck in, I do want to highlight one consideration: Sometimes, it's not about what the spell is inherently - it's about how it's used. Something that seems harmless on the outside - like a spell used to mend a broken teacup can quickly become a tool of torment in the wrong hands.Anyway..Let's dive into it.

What if I told you that there was a witch from Harry Potter lore that, despite possessing levels of power similar to the founders of Hogwarts..No one really talks about.This witch, known more commonly for her title as a 'sorceress' was known for her extraordinary magical abilities - so much so that her name became legend, even beyond the wizarding world. Her mastery over spells and enchantments rivaled that of the most powerful sorcerers in history, yet for some reason, she remains overlooked in most discussions of magic.But who was this witch? And why has her legacy faded into obscurity?Today we'll be discussing all of that and more.
