Every Death Eater in Harry Potter Ranked by POWER (All 30)

There are few witches in the wizarding world who can silence a room quite like Rita Skeeter.Not with a curse — but with a quill.With a quick scribble from her Quick-Quotes Quill, reputations trembled. Careers ended. Truth blurred. And somewhere, behind a thick layer of lipstick and lime-green fingernails, Rita Skeeter smiled with satisfaction.Hermione was certainly never shy in sharing what she thought of her:“You horrible woman. You don’t care, do you? Anything for a story, and anyone will do, won’t they?”But before the headlines, before The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore and her smear campaigns against Harry Potter..Who WAS Rita Skeeter?How did an ambitious Hogwarts student turn into the most reviled journalist of her age?Today we’ll dive in to all of that (AND MORE) as we look at the Life and Lies of Rita Skeeter.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 how ordinary Muggles react when they find out that their child is magical.The majority of Muggle-born witches and wizards do not discover that they are magical until they are invited to come study magic as a child. In the United Kingdom, this momentous occasion takes place the year of a child’s eleventh birthday by way of mail. Each young witch or wizard receives their letter of acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry sometime over the summer months before the start of term in the fall. In the case of Muggleborns, Hogwarts dispatches a member of staff to travel to the home of said muggle-born student so that the letter can be properly introduced and explained.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The trembling stutter of a nervous man. A turban concealing a horrifying secret. And behind it all: the face of the Dark Lord himself.Quirinus Quirrell is often remembered as the timid, stuttering Defence Against the Dark Arts professor from Harry Potter’s first year at Hogwarts. Nervous, soft-spoken, and constantly hiding behind that signature purple turban — he appeared (at least at first) to be one of the least threatening figures Harry could have encountered.But as we later find out, appearances can be deceiving.By the time Quirrell stood in front of Harry in the Great Hall, the man he once was had already begun to disappear. His brilliant mind, once shaped by academic curiosity, had been twisted by ambition and fear. And in pursuit of recognition he didn’t believe he could achieve on his own, he turned to the darkest source of power imaginable.During the 1991–92 school year, Quirrell became one of the most consequential figures in modern wizarding history — not because of who he was, but because of who he allowed himself to serve.Today, we’re going to explore the full life of Quirinus Quirrell — from his overlooked beginnings as a brilliant Ravenclaw scholar, to the fateful journey that led him into Voldemort’s grasp, and the horrifying transformation that followed.Let’s dive into it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.Today’s topic is pretty simple — the upcoming Harry Potter TV reboot, and every controversy surrounding it.The show hasn't even aired yet, but between unexpected casting choices, creative reinterpretations, and the ongoing debate over J.K. Rowling’s involvement, the series has already managed to polarize the Harry Potter fandom — especially amid rumors of a gender-swapped Dark Lord and questions about how “faithful” this adaptation will actually be. And this is YEARS before we’ve even seen a single episode.In total there are 4 controversies I want to touch on, starting with…See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.In today’s video, we’re exploring a theory that challenges one of the series’ core assumptions:the belief that Albus Dumbledore was the Elder Wand’s rightful owner.Because according to some fans — and a closer reading of the events themselves —the wand’s true allegiance may not have been with Dumbledore at all.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If we trace the origins of the most powerful magical artifacts in history — the Deathly Hallows — the trail always leads back to one family: the Peverells.Three brothers whose story exists somewhere between myth and memory — remembered in children’s tales, but also immortalized in wizarding history.To begin to unravel their story, we have to separate myth from memory — and uncover the truth buried beneath a thousand years of legend.And there’s no better place to start than the story every wizard knows by heart — first written down by Beedle the Bard in the fifteenth century: The Tale of the Three Brothers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Before he was a name whispered in fear — before Nurmengard, before the Elder Wand, before Dumbledore — there was simply a boy. A brilliant, golden-haired boy, born in Eastern Europe in the late nineteenth century — whose name was Gellert Grindelwald.Little is recorded about Grindelwald’s family or childhood, but what fragments survive describe a wizard of exceptional promise from the very beginning. His ancestry is believed to have been of northern European descent, possibly linked to an old wizarding line with strong magical blood. Whether or not that family shared his views, however, is another question entirely.From a young age, Grindelwald displayed a kind of brilliance that unsettled those around him. He was curious about everything — but especially the boundaries of magic. Most children who show magical ability experiment with simple enchantments or charms. Grindelwald experimented with control — the art of bending will, power, and fate to his own design.Even as a boy, he possessed what Dumbledore would later call “a dangerous gift, the power to make others see what he wanted them to see, to make his lies sound like truth.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
