Nono, it's not that he falsified his stories- that's canon. This is something else..And it's also something that you'll hear and more-than-likely entirely agree with.Let's dive in.

Last week I made a video outlining the 10 most powerful wizards of all time. And that video followed a whole bunch of other power ranking videos I've done in the past- most powerful Death eaters, Aurors etc. Anyway, in the last video I noticed quite a few people commenting that they wanted me to do the SAME for witches. I left witches out of the last video intentionally because they deserve a dedicated ranking of their own. So today, we're going to be taking a look at the 10 most POWERFUL witches of all time, diving into the history books and seeing who is worthy of a spot on this list. Before we get started, why don't you comment YOUR top 10 down below. I've got some wild cards you probably won't be expecting..Let's get in to it.

Over the years, I've done a lot of 'power ranking videos'..I've ranked the most powerful graduates from each Hogwarts house, the most powerful Death Eaters, the most powerful Aurors, the most powerful Order of the Phoenix members...And so on and so forth.But somehow, I've never actually ranked the 10 most powerful wizards of all time. I don't know how I missed it, but today we're going to finally be putting this topic to rest- taking a look at the 10 most powerful wizards to have made their mark (whether good or bad) on Wizarding history. Anyway, let's dive in to it.

Hey everyone, Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing The Philosopher's Stone, Hogwarts professor Quirinus Quirrell, Lord Voldemort, and of course- Harry Potter.After returning home from his trip, Quirrell didn't reprise his previous role of Muggle Studies professor; instead, he had been given the coveted position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor - a subject that had been notoriously cursed for years. And although Dumbledore, ever watchful, was wary of Quirrell's drastic transformation, he lacked concrete evidence and thus permitted the young professor to carry out his duties.And the year Quirrell assumed the role of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor coincidentally aligned with Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts. Very early on in Harry's magical adventures, he stops at the Leaky Cauldron with Hagrid, where he has his first encounter with Quirrell - a meeting that, at the time, seemed unremarkable but would later prove to be far more significant.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be discussing Veritaserum- an incredibly powerful (and I feel, underutilized) potion that forces individuals to reveal the truth."It is Veritaserum - a Truth Potion so powerful that three drops would have you spilling your innermost secrets for this entire class to hear. Now, the use of this potion is controlled by very strict Ministry guidelines. But unless you watch your step, you might just find that my hand slips - right over your evening pumpkin juice. And then, Potter... then we'll find out whether you've been in my office or not."Besides maybe Felix Felicis, Polyjuice Potion and Amortentia- I feel as though Veritaserum AKA 'Truth' Serum is one of the most powerful potions in the entire Wizarding World. And given this fact, I can't help but notice that it's ludicrously underutilized (at least in the series).
