DARK History of the Death Eaters (Est. 1938) - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be discussing the TOP 10 most POWERFUL magical Beings of the wizarding world.- 'Being' is one of the three classifications used by the British Ministry of Magic to distinguish the different magical creatures that inhabit the wizarding world (the others being Beast and Spirit).- The term 'Beings', at least for the most part, refers to the HUMANOID (or at least, seemingly humanoid) lives of the wizarding world. And when I say humanoid, I mean possessing typical 'human' characteristics- i.e 1 head, a standard number of appendages, 2 eyes etc. Although, I suppose you could argue that possession of these traits being innately 'humanoid' stems from a relatively human-centric point of view. There are also a few exceptions to this which you'll see down below.- Anyway, with that distinction made, I do want to point out that there are still quite a few 'humanoid' creatures in the wizarding world beyond just conventional 'human' witches and wizards, which is why I think that this will make for a fun list. This list will be ranked from least to most powerful and I'll stick to CANON to support my rationale. Anyway, let's dive in.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the bloodlines of the wizarding world. More specifically- we're going to be honing in on and discussing Muggleborns- also known as 'Mudbloods' to the darker, more sinister side of the wizarding world.- Now before we dive too far in to this topic, let me first establish that 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- with the special term 'muggle-born' referring to a witch or wizard with two non-magical parents.- The existence of such a system, however, brings nothing to the wizarding world but hatred. In fact, one of the main focuses of Voldemort's regime was establishing power over the worlds of half-bloods and muggles. Voldemort felt that those with pure-blood lines deserved to be in power, and he also grew increasingly concerned that pure-blood numbers would dwindle while the number of muggleborns climbed- effectively extinguishing 'pure' blood from the wizarding world. And, as it turns out, Voldemort was very right to have that 'fear'- as statistics show that the number of muggle-borns climbs year over year.- With that said- let me get to the 'meat' of today's video, which is a list of ALL KNOWN muggle-borns (that is, witches or wizards born to muggle parents) that we know of in the wizarding world. I'm going to start with the more obvious ones and make my way toward the LESS obvious ones that you may not know about. How many do YOU know of? Comment down below before we get started.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re going to be discussing a few more thoughts I’ve had on the latest Fantastic Beasts film- the Secrets of Dumbledore. If you’ve seen it, you know much was uncovered in the way of Credence’s Barebone’s true identity – and if you haven’t seen it, BE WARNED, there are spoilers ahead! While it’s true, we learn much of who Credence really is in The Secrets of Dumbledore, some of these answers have led to, well, more questions.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Hogwarts and the topic of PUNISHMENT. How are bad students PUNISHED? If you don't know already, corporal punishment is an old system of punishment that was actually surprisingly common in the school system- that is, until it was banned in 1986 (in the UK at least). Other countries went on to ban it at different points in time, and I think that it may actually still be allowed in some places.It's also worth mentioning that corporal punishment also exists outside of the school system, however the school system will be the focal point of this video. Corporal punishment involves inflicting physical pain upon someone- and in a school setting it would be administered when students failed to pay attention, or gave professors flak. Though not restricted to these methods, common methods of inflicting pain would involve spanking or paddling- both of which are completely unacceptable.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing elves and why, despite being so powerful, they choose to serve witches and wizards. As you may recall, elves – and the concept of house-elves – are introduced in The Chamber of Secrets when Harry meets Dobby, the resident house-elf of Draco Malfoy’s family and the family’s home, Malfoy Manor. Through this introduction, we discover that the upper class of the Wizarding World all seem to “own” house-elves – elves who are magically bound to serve their masters and work in servitude for well-to-do wizarding families without compensation. Their tasks range from cleaning to cooking and running errands – all without question. The only way that they can be freed from their magical ensl*avement is if their master gives them a piece of clothing. Of course, this sounds quite miserable. And, so, it was unsurprising when we learn that Dobby longs to be free from his indentured servitude to the cruel Malfoy family, who mistreat him and underestimate his abilities and intelligence. This of course, inevitably leads to Harry helping Dobby secure his freedom, tricking Lucius Malfoy into tossing an old sock to the elf. However, despite Dobby being the first house-elf we are introduced to, we come to learn that he is actually quite an anomaly when compared to the majority of the elves that we come across throughout the remainder of the series – from Dobby’s friend, Winky, who Harry meets at the Quidditch World Cup when he mistakes her for Dobby, to Kreacher, the miserable house-elf of the Black family, who is inevitably left to Harry after Sirius Black’s death.

If you want a full-scale review AND breakdown, I've done that as well- I'll leave a link down in the pinned comment.- I'll be alternating PROS with CONS as to not overly hype up or bog down the experience.- Let's get in to it.
