History of Avada Kedavra (The Killing Curse) - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're looking at the biggest differences between Book and Movie Ron Weasley. -Ah, Ron Weasley. If you know him best from his character depiction in the Harry Potter book series, then the Ronald Weasley that you know and love is the courageous, quick-witted, and loyal best mate of Harry Potter. He's also the youngest son, and sixth child of Molly and Arthur Weasley. And while some of that remains true for Ron's character in the films, the majority of what's consistent between the books and the movies is – rather surface level. I mean, yes, Ron is one of Harry's bestest buds in the movies. And, yes, he remains the sixth son born to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. But, other than these superficial details, there are many more character-defining qualities that were either changed substantially for the films, or omitted completely. In this video, I'll be focusing on four of these major differences between book and film Ron.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be discussing Goblins & the Goblin Rebellion- lore from both Harry Potter AND Hogwarts Legacy. It probably wouldn't surprise you to know that the wizarding community didn't treat Goblins with the utmost respect at all times. - Pure bloods outright hated them. But even the most progressive members of the wizarding world felt a general mistrust for the tiny, monstrous humanoid-creatures. And all of those negative interactions built up over the years, burdening wizard-goblin relations, until the Goblins rebelled. In fact, If we open up our history books, and look back at the records of Goblins in the wizarding world, we'll find a series of great rebellions centered around one common theme: to be treated with equal respect. What were these rebellions? -And what type of impact did they have on the wizarding community? -That's what we'll discuss today. First, let's go over a bit of Goblin-wizard history.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Voldemort and how Horcruxes are made. For any witch or wizard, making a Horcrux is considered to be the worst kind of magic. In fact, it is a brand of dark arts that is thought to be so evil and revolting that it is intentionally never discussed and information on how to create one is very limited. For this reason, many witches and wizards don't even know what creating a Horcrux involves. And as it turns out, neither do we! But here's what we do know... The very first known Horcrux was made in Ancient Greece by a wizard named Herpo the Foul, and thousands of years later, Voldemort became only the second known creator of a Horcrux. Made from magic that is so terrible in nature that even dark wizards are horrified by what it entails, Horcruxes are creations that are unimaginable to the vast majority of the Wizarding World. So, when Voldemort made seven, it was a demonstration of just how incredibly evil he was. To make a Horcrux, a damaged piece of one's soul must be removed from the creator's body and put into an inanimate object or living host, making the creator immortal. In order to do this, the witch or wizard who wishes to split their soul needs to commit the ultimate act of violence and evil: murder. And not just any murder, they have to deliberately kill someone without regret or remorse. Acting in self-defence or retaliating in protection of someone else will not result in the ability to create a Horcrux. It must be done with the utmost evil intent, resulting in a metaphysical damaging of the murderer's soul. It's important to note that this fragmentation of the soul would occur after a murder of this sort, regardless of whether or not the witch or wizard intended to create a Horcrux. It's just that one who wishes to make a Horcrux then uses the damaging of their soul to their advantage. In any case, after they have killed their victim, the witch or wizard uses a powerful incantation to remove this damaged part of their soul from their body, placing it in a vessel outside of themselves, and then performing an UNKNOWN ritual to bound the fragmented soul to its new container. So, what exactly happens during this disturbing ceremony? 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're discussing Voldemort & Dumbledore's duel inside of the ministry atrium. This duel happened in the order of the phoenix, and it’s arguably the most impressive looking duel on-screen that we’ve seen to date. It was a duel of epic proportions- good against evil, light against dark- and it totally overshadowed all of the boring stalemates that Harry had with Voldemort. However, one thing that is completely worth mentioning is that their duel was represented very differently from book to film. The film adaptation certainly took some liberties with the contents of the book, and, rather than staying true to the picture that the book had initially painted for us, it mixed things up-most likely for increased cinematic and dramatic effect. But, in doing so, they actually portrayed the characters in a very different light than we had expected- and it was honestly quite inconsistent with what we had initially read in the books. If you only saw the film- you might be wondering: Why couldn’t Voldemort end Dumbledore right then and there?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re going to be discussing Sybill Trelawney and her role as a seer. Depending on how you look at it, Sybill Patricia Trelawney is one of the finest seers of her age.  And she’s actually the one who correctly prophesied the fate that both Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort would share. But even though she correctly divined the destiny of the Chosen One, Trelawney seems to get a bad rap. And it only takes one quick glance at her to see why.  With frizzled hair… an ancient, dust covered purse… and glasses as thick as coke bottles… Professor Trelawney doesn’t really give the impression that she’s able to see much of anything… let alone the future. But you might be surprised to know that this humble divination professor from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry correctly foresaw dozens of predictions and prophecies.  And today, we’re going to take a look at the majority of them.
