Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Albus Dumbledore and his cursed hand. More specifically, we’re going to be breaking down Dumbledore’s death, the curse itself and one scenario in which MAYBE, just MAYBE- Dumbledore could have saved himself. Let’s get in to it. Months before Dumbledore’s tragic demise, Dumbledore himself had decided to track down one of Voldemort’s horcruxes: a small ring crowned with a strange, dark stone. And what made this particular Horcrux unique is that this stone was in fact one of the fabled Deathly Hallows - the Resurrection Stone to be precise.  The history of the stone dates back some time, with its origin story suggesting that it had been given to the middle Peverell brother, Cadmus Peverell, by Death himself.  "Then the second brother, who was an arrogant man, decided that he wanted to humiliate Death still further, and asked for the power to recall others from Death. So Death picked up a stone from the riverbank and gave it to the second brother, and told him that the stone would have the power to bring back the dead." As mentioned above, this stone had the power to summon spirits back from the dead. But when Voldemort stole his uncle Morfin’s ring years and years prior, he had no idea that it contained such a powerful relic. To him it was just a family heirloom, and, more importantly, an item that he could taint with dark magic, an item that he could turn into a HORCRUX. But when Albus first found the stone and noticed it’s distinct markings, he immediately realized that it was one of the three Deathly Hallows.  Knowing the true power of the stone, Dumbledore’s curiosity got the better of him, and he ended up placing the ring on his finger, securing his fate.  My question is this: if Dumbledore’s curse had been effectively confined to a single hand- why not just...Get RID of said hand?

Today we're RANKING the most POWERFUL Pure-Bloods in Harry Potter. At this stage I've RANKED the most powerful Slytherins, Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws, Aurors, Death Eaters, Dumbledore's Army members, Order of the Phoenix members and more. But what I haven't done yet is rank the most powerful PURE BLOOD wizards in the wizarding world.- Blood status is one of the most controversial aspects of the wizarding world- a concept in which wizarding families can be distinguished by the level of magically-endowed family members. Generally speaking, people are slotted in to one of the following categories: Pure-blood, half-blood or muggle. We're introduced to quite a few characters in the Harry Potter story that come from these pure blood lines, and they certainly aren't afraid to remind us of it..Malfoys.... However what we must remember is that at the end of the day, PURE BLOOD status doesn't mean ANYTHING. The most powerful PURE BLOODS are NOT the most powerful wizards- in fact, a top 10 list for the most powerful wizards would only include a couple of the people in this list. The majority of powerful witches and wizards in the wizarding world are actually HALF-BLOODS. Before we get started I want to mention a couple of things. First of all,I'm going to OMIT the Hogwarts founders and the Peverells as they're sort of OP. -Second of all, I'm going to TRY MY BEST to only include one person from each wizarding family, as otherwise the list could get quite overcrowded with one surname. Thirdly, I want you to pause the video and COMMENT your top 10 list down below before you dive in. Anyway, without further ado- here is my TOP 10 list of the most powerful PURE BLOOD wizards in the wizarding world. If I miss or forget a name that is deserving of a spot, please forgive me.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the CAST members of Harry Potter. Specifically, we'll be addressing what the Harry Potter cast FULL of superstars is doing NOW (2022). When we think of the Harry Potter films, it's hard to believe that the most recent installment came out over a decade ago, with the Deathly Hallows Pt 2 hitting the silver screen in 2011. But if that doesn't sound like a long time ago, then it MAY surprise you to hear that the first installment, the Philosopher's Stone, came out a decade before THAT in 2001. But while it's been quite some time since we've seen the original cast in action, they did give us 10 years of great movies, which I'll be forever grateful for. Today I'm going to be exploring what your favourite characters (50 of them for that matter) are up to in a post-Harry Potter world. What have they achieved in their acting careers / personal lives during these past 11 years? Let's get in to it.
