Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing Harry Potter's INSANE fortune. It's no secret that Harry had inherited some SERIOUS wizarding cash from his parents. It's something we learn right from the get-go, when Hagrid takes a young, 11-year-old Harry Potter to his family vault at Gringotts Wizarding Bank in The Philosopher's Stone. And, as you may recall, what Harry finds upon this, his first visit to his vault, is somewhat of a small fortune. It's also no secret as to where this immense wealth came from. J.K. Rowling herself addressed this very topic years ago in an article on wizardingworld.com. Apparently, Harry is a distant descendent of the inventor of Skele-gro and other remedies, and his lineage took a great deal of care in maintaining - as well as growing - their wealth.However, what we're here to discuss today is the number of occasions in which Harry was generous with this money - giving away gold to his friends and those whom he felt needed it.So, exactly how many times DID Harry give away his money? Well, as it happens, the answer is: not many. 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 discussing the history of wizard medicine as we know it.When a witch or wizard uses their skills to heal themselves or another, it is referred to as a specific branch of witchcraft and wizardry known as healing magic. Although it can be performed by just about anyone with magical abilities who has knowledge relating to this field, those who are properly trained wizarding medical professionals are referred to within the Wizarding World as Healers and Mediwizards. The primary responsibility of both Healers and Mediwizards is to tend to the wounded and treat the sick. And, from what us Muggles can tell, they appear to be the magical equivalent of doctors, nurses, and medical health professionals in our world. It's unclear whether or not there are specific ranks within this branch of magic - but considering Madam Poppy Pomfrey, a Healer at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, was noted to be a matron, it stands to reason that there is some sort of seniority system in place throughout this field, as there is with our Muggle doctors and nurses.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the history of the rather infamous Deathly Hallows.Regardless of whether or not you'd count yourself an avid Harry-Potter fan or not, you've likely heard of the Deathly Hallows. I mean, you may not know exactly WHAT they are - but you've almost certainly HEARD of them. Of course, this is because the Deathly Hallows is the title of the final instalment of the series for both the Harry Potter novels and the films - with the movies offering both a Part 1 and Part 2 of the final film adaptation of the book.As a result, anyone who knows anything about pop culture - and who has not been living under a rock during the past few decades - presumably knows, at the very least, that the Deathly Hallows are part of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. However, as is the norm with any part of this incredibly detailed world, there is a rather rich history that goes alongside these magical artefacts.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the history of GIANTS. Even people relatively unfamiliar with the fantastic beasts of the wizarding world will have heard of giants. Of course, this is likely due to the fact that they are commonplace in many myths and legends of old that have been written throughout the ages. In any case, the giants within the world of Harry Potter are quite like any other giant you may have read or heard about. They are incredibly large humanoid creatures, many of whom typically grow to an average of 20-to-25-feet tall. Some giants have even been described as "colossal" in appearance, and are known to be both very strong and very violent. These two traits are likely the primary reasons that giants often resort to the unsettling, yet extremely common, practice of decapitating fellow members of their tribes. Due to their quick temper and inability to fully acquire complex languages, it can also be assumed that the majority of giants - at least in modern times - have rather low levels of intelligence. When considering all of these traits in combination, it's no wonder that giants are considered to be incredibly dangerous creatures within the wizarding world. Not to mention that, in addition to their strength and violent nature, they are also resistant to spells - making them quite a serious threat to magical society, particularly, wand-wielding folks like witches and wizards.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing how Vernon Dursley met Petunia Evans, and how the two of them eventually became Mr. and Mrs. Dursley - the widely disliked aunt and uncle of Harry Potter.As revealed by the memories of a dying Severus Snape, there was once a time when Petunia Evans and her younger sister, Lily, were actually quite close. In fact, it would seem that as a young girl Petunia had wished to become a witch just like Lily, and even went so far as to write to Headmaster Dumbledore to see if he could make an exception and allow her to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry despite the fact that she displayed no magical abilities. Unfortunately, it would seem that Dumbledore's refusal - although delivered kindly - ignited feelings of incredible resentment within Petunia, which is likely what spurned her on towards a life in which she hated magic to the point that she tried to pretend it didn't exist. Petunia was also openly resentful of the fact that her parents seemed delighted by the fact that her sister was a witch, which ultimately led to Petunia feeling such incredible dislike towards her sister, her family, and her home in Cokeworth, that she up and left in search of a much more ordinary life.It was around this time that Petunia met Vernon Dursley.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing what country has the MOST powerful magical creatures in the world. Of course, each region is home to its share of magical beasts and creatures, some more powerful than others - but in order to decipher which country has the largest amount of the MOST powerful beings within the wizarding world, I referred to the work of famed Magizoologist, Newt Scamander, and his text Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Based on his experience and research, Newt listed each magical being within the text and labelled them with a Ministry of Magic (M.O.M.) classification, ranging from X to XXXXX, with X representing creatures that are - quote - "boring", and XXXXX representing known wizard killers that are impossible to train or domesticate. With this in mind, I considered the magical beasts listed that are classified as XXXXX, as well as XXXX, which represents creatures that are considered dangerous, and require a skilled wizard to handle.Upon reviewing the text, I've determined that there are three main regions within the world that have the strongest presence of powerful, magical creatures, starting with...
