What Happens to the Wands of DEAD Wizards? - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. In the wizarding world, the consequences of breaking magical laws or school rules can vary significantly, as seen in the divergent fates of expelled Hogwarts students Newt Scamander and Hagrid. While the expulsion of both individuals resulted in the loss of their right to carry a wand, the stark contrast in how their cases were handled raises intriguing questions. Why was Newt Scamander allowed to retain his wand despite being expelled, while Hagrid faced the harsh punishment of having his wand snapped in half? Let's dive in.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. In today's video, we're going to be discussing muggles, wizards and magic. However- we're going to go a little off course from the usual style of video, as we will not only be discussing the existence of magic in the Harry Potter universe, but including the Lord of the Rings universe as well. In addition to identifying the key differences for what constitutes 'magic' in both worlds- I'm going to try to ATTEMPT to identify which world of magic is more powerful. For years, decades, we've known about both of these universes- and we've accepted them both for what they are- but what I want to do today is put them head to head- and answer the question once and for all: Who's more powerful? Harry Potter wizards or Lord of the Rings wizards? 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 whether or not Professor Albus Dumbledore picked out Harry Potter's friends for him.When it comes to the adventures of Harry Potter, it almost goes without saying that Harry never "adventured" alone. From the very first instalment of the series to the final scenes of The Deathly Hallows, Harry was very often accompanied by his two best mates: Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. And so, while it seems completely obvious that these three friends, who have been dubbed by many fans as "The Golden Trio", came to heavily rely on their relationships with one another - the question we are looking at today is: did someone else - namely Albus Dumbledore - decide that they would be friends in the first place?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing whether or not Harry ever visited the Dursley family after he grew into adulthood.From the opening paragraph of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, it's understood that the Dursleys are not the easiest people to get along with. They are almost explicitly stated to be rather unreasonable people who were not fond of anything that might make them appear to be anything other than absolutely normal.This brings us to the question of today's video: After growing up in this type of environment with the Dursleys, did Harry ever visit them after he became an adult? Because, let's be honest, no one would blame him if he didn't. 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 why the world of Muggles and the world of witches and wizards are kept separate from one another.As we discover throughout Harry's initial years within magical society, witches and wizards have gone to great lengths to hide their world from that of Muggles. From concealment charms that make the castle of Hogwarts School look like a dangerous ruin to the secret brick-walled entrance to Diagon Alley, there are an incredible number of spells used to keep the wizarding world a secret from non-magical people.In fact, so well hidden is every bit of this world that when Harry Potter receives his letter of acceptance to Hogwarts, he is absolutely shocked to learn of the secret magical world that's existed alongside ordinary society for centuries. How could this be true? How is it that no one knew that witches, wizards, dragons, potions and magic existed? What possible reason could there be to keep these two worlds apart? Especially, when magic has the potential to do so much good in the world?
