For centuries, the dark art of creating Horcruxes has fascinated and terrified those who delve into the depths of magical history. The common narrative credits Herpo the Foul, an infamous dark wizard of ancient Greece, with pioneering this sinister method of achieving immortality. However, the truth is that the origins of the infamous Horcrux may lie shrouded in even darker corners of history.-The Hogwarts library has a vast collection of magical literature that fills its rows upon rows of bookcases. And beyond that, there exists the 'Restricted Section' - a mysterious and highly guarded area accessible only with a note of permission from a professor. This section houses some of the most dangerous and advanced books on dark magic, ancient spells, and powerful enchantments. The books here are often imbued with their own magic, sometimes reacting to the touch, emitting strange noises, or even resisting being opened. It's a place of both great knowledge and potential peril, where one wrong spell could lead to unforeseen consequences.-But what if I told you that some books were TOO dark and EVIL for the very section CREATED to house dark books?Stashed away in the Hogwarts Headmasters office lies a book TOO EVIL to be allowed in the Hogwarts Library, one that even the Restricted Section could not contain. This book, which contains pages filled with the darkest and most forbidden spells, curses, and rituals ever conceived, contains magic so potent and malevolent that it could corrupt even the most virtuous wizard.And I think that this BOOK, and the dark wizard that wrote it, hold the keys to unlocking the TRUE secrets behind Horcruxes.-Join me today as we peel back the layers of the DARKEST wizard you've never heard of.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Each potion demands precision and patience, with the slightest mistake potentially resulting in disastrous consequences. From brewing the simplest healing draughts to concocting complex elixirs that alter reality, potion making is an art that few can master. And those who excel in this field are often revered for their expertise and are sought after for their knowledge and skill.Only a handful of potion makers have been famous enough to earn spots within history texts at Hogwarts.And while some became potion makers for money, others devoted their lives to the craft out of pure love.-Today, we're going to be deep diving into the life of arguably the best potion maker of them all.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.

Rubeus Hagrid's FIRST wand was rather bendy, 16" long and made of oak. It has been expressed that those with oak wands usually have an 'affinity with the magic of the natural world', that a 'bendy' wand signifies a high level of adaptability in personality, and that the significant length of his wand is representative of his large stature and enormous personality.-You can tell a lot about a person from their wand.But if you met Hagrid as an adult, you'd just have to GUESS these things about him, because the Hagrid WE KNOW walks around with an umbrella.Of course, there's more to Hagrid's umbrella wand than meets the eye, but the fact remains that HAGRID does not carry a wand in the traditional sense- the main reason being that his wand was SNAPPED while he was still just a boy.During his third year at Hogwarts, Hagrid was falsely accused by Tom Riddle to have released a monstrous creature on the school that killed a Muggle-born witch named Myrtle Warren. And as a result of this, his wand was destroyed by the British Ministry of Magic.But the actions taken towards Hagrid always seemed EXTREME and INCONSISTENT.-Because there was insufficient evidence to prosecute Hagrid, he avoided Azkaban (at least the first time around). But he still somehow landed himself an expulsion from Hogwarts and a snapped wand.Today we're going to be diving in to the REAL reasons for Hagrid's UNFAIR treatment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid famously remarked that "There's not a single witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin.".-But..There are a few big issues with this statement.First of all, it's factually incorrect. While the vast majority of the dark witches and wizards in the wizarding world were indeed at one time Slytherin students, it certainly wasn't all of them.-Second of all, many have interpreted Hagrid's statement to mean: 'all Slytherins will become evil', when what Hagrid really meant was that 'all bad witches and wizards ORIGINATED from Slytherin. Which is..Also not true.I will admit that when you think about all of the evil in the Wizarding World, it is certainly hard to distance your mind from the green and silver house. However, in reality there are numerous other examples of BAD wizards that came from well...ALL of the other houses.Think about it.We had Pettigrew from Gryffindor.We had Quirrell from Ravenclaw.And from Hufflepuff we had....The subject of today's video! A dark wizard SO EVIL that many SLYTHERIN wizards PALE in comparison. Join me today as we peel back the layers of the most nefarious individual to arise from the black & yellow house.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Although the Harry Potter books and movies were released some time ago, there continues to be an insatiable thirst for more content among fans of all levels.And while seven core books and eight movies might seem like a lot, it feels considerably less substantial when spread over 27 years - a milestone we've just reached, as the first book was published on June 26th, 1997.Since the last book came out in 2007 we've had a few more films and we've had scribblings published here and there. We've even had a few prequel stories, but for the most part, extended lore pertaining to the Wizarding World is...Somewhat limited.-But that CERTAINLY doesn't mean there's nothing. Which is why today I've begun to compile a list of ALL JK Rowling certified and published secondary content. If you think you know the world of Harry Potter now, well..You're about to get to know it a lot better.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 going to be discussing BOOKS vs FILMS - honing in on some of the darkest BOOK moments that, for varying reasons, simply never made their way onto the silver screen.While the film adaptations brought the magic of Hogwarts to life on the big screen, they were not without their limitations. In the process of adapting the complex and intricate world of the books into a more visually-driven medium, certain dark and unsettling moments were omitted or altered, leaving fans with a somewhat diluted version of Rowling's original vision.These were moments so dark that (in the case of some) they had to be removed in order to keep the film's PG rating down.-Today, we'll delve into these dark moments left out of the films, exploring the reasons behind their omissions and the impact of these changes on the overall story.This is a compilation style video but I've also included an ADDITIONAL part 4.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
