The Story Of Dumbledore’s Amazing Scar (2 THEORIES) - Harry Potter Theory

The Story Of Dumbledore’s Amazing Scar (2 THEORIES) - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Albus Dumbledore, and trying to unravel one of his dirtiest darkest secrets- how he got his scar of the London Underground.

As early as the Philosopher’s Stone (in the first chapter, no less), we hear Dumbledore mention a certain scar in a conversation with McGonagall. But it’s not the scar that you probably thought of, Harry’s scar of legend, it’s actually one of Dumbledore’s OWN scars.

If the first place your mind went to was emotional scars then that would make perfect sense, as Dumbledore, who lived quite the tumultuous life, would be riddled with them.

But in this instance we’re talking about a real bonafide scar.

The following is Dumbledore’s response to McGonagall’s query about whether or not he could remove Harry’s scar:

“Even if I could, I wouldn’t. Scars can come in handy. I have one myself above my left knee that is a perfect map of the London Underground."

For those unaware, the London Underground is a public transport network of underground railways in London, also called The Tube. In this case, Dumbledore is referring to the Tube Map, which is a map used by travellers on the underground. However, it’s not simply an overlay of the railway lines onto a map of London; it’s a simplified version of lines to make it easier to follow.

Some may have interpreted this little quip as some sort of joke, but as it happens, JK Rowling has since confirmed that this scar on Dumbledore’s left knee was very much real. The problem, however, is that she has never revealed HOW he got it, even avoiding the answer at a public Q&A 7 years after the first book’s release.

“How did Dumbledore get his scar of the London Underground?”

“You may find out one day. I am very fond of that scar.”

And now, 25 years after the release of the first book, this question, like so many others, remains UNANSWERED.

Today, we’re going to be diving in and figuring out the cause of Dumbledore’s famous scar.

17 Harry Potter Characters LEFT OUT of the Movies - Harry Potter Explained

17 Harry Potter Characters LEFT OUT of the Movies - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be discussing Harry Potter characters (from the books) that were that LEFT OUT of the movies. I feel like you can't really criticize the Harry Potter films THAT much. Unless the filmmakers decided to convert the films into a tv series, and devote 20 hours to each book, there isn't really anything they could do to make these amazing movies any better. It's never an easy feat to translate novels to the silver screen, but somehow, Harry Potter successfully pulled it off. - But... in the process, the filmmakers were forced to shave a few of our favorite characters from the final scripts. - And even though they had their reasons for doing so, I can't help but feel that something is missing without these incredible wizards and witches. -So, today, we're going to take a look at some of the characters who failed to make the jump to the big screen, and what they added to the Harry Potter mythos.

20 Times the Books Bomb and the Movies Are Great - Harry Potter Explained

20 Times the Books Bomb and the Movies Are Great - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're tackling The Harry Potter films VS the Harry Potter books. Now- I was first exposed to the books, they were the first thing that I knew of Harry Potter- and I think that the general consensus among Harry Potter fans is that the books are superior- mainly because they have so much more detail- they're the original story. The films, on the other hand, took some liberties- some characters looked and even acted differently, plot points were omitted, and overall- they were just much more condensed. But, what did you expect? 6 hour long movies? I LOVE the Harry Potter films- I think they're great, and while the books did a lot of things better, and are-in my opinion-superior, it doesn't mean that there aren't things that the FILMS did better than the books. In today's video, I'm going to be touching on 20 things that I FEEL the films did better than the books. For the die hard book fans, try to watch this one with an open mind. This is going to be a mix of longer and shorter points, ranging from single lines/moments that were included/excluded- all the way to major shifts in the way that the films turned out.

What If Wormtail Never Gave Voldemort the Potter’s Location - Harry Potter Theory

What If Wormtail Never Gave Voldemort the Potter’s Location - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Wormtail, Voldemort, The Potters, and the fabled Prophecy. More specifically, we're going to be addressing one very big question: WHAT IF Wormtail NEVER betrayed the Potters? When Peter Pettigrew first came to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, it is said that the Sorting Hat took an entire five minutes before deciding to place him in Gryffindor. As we are to understand it, the Hat was wavering between Gryffindor and Slytherin, showing very early on that Pettigrew had inclinations towards the characteristics most seen in students of the green and silver House. That later became obvious after Sirius Black revealed Peter to be a traitor and Death Eater who had framed him for Pettigrew’s crimes, faked his own death, and lived as a rat for 12 years, Peter was actually quite clever, ambitious, and resourceful – the main characteristics of a Slytherin pupil. In any case, having been sorted into Gryffindor, he very obviously lacked the qualities of his fellow House mates – he was not particularly brave or courageous, and being that he was somewhat of an underdog himself, he never stood up for the “little guy.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Why Ravenclaw’s Mascot Is NOT a Raven (2 THEORIES) - Harry Potter Theory

Why Ravenclaw’s Mascot Is NOT a Raven (2 THEORIES) - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing the Hogwarts house system- specifically, Ravenclaw house. Now, as we all know, the four houses of Hogwarts can be identified by very unique, defining characteristics- characteristics that allow these houses to stand out from the others. Hufflepuffs are known for their loyalty and hard-work, Gryffindors for their bravery, Slytherins for their cunning, and Ravenclaws for their knowledge and wisdom. Of course- I am talking in generalizations here- but if the sorting hat is anything to go by- it’s reasonably fair to summarize the houses based on the traits it preaches. The sorting hat DOES sort students in to houses, after all. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Killing Voldemort didn't solve every problem that Harry Potter and his wizarding friends faced. Because there were still plenty of Death Eaters alive and well. -And nobody knows what exactly came of them... Today, we're going to take a look at a handful of the most dangerous Death Eaters from the Battle of Hogwarts, and try our best to figure out where they ended up.
