The REAL Reason Voldemort Let Slughorn LIVE - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In my last video I discussed 7 Harry Potter theories that are so inconsequential and likewise plausible that they are hard to deny. Theories with such little evidence against them that, for the most part, we can all agree they likely have a basis in reality.In my last video, it seemed like many of you agreed with my picks, so today we're diving into 7 more of these theories..Pushing the envelope a little further. Let me know down in the comment section what you think.Let's dive in.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Within the theorydom, there are some pretty absurd Harry Potter theories out there.And I'll admit, I'm likely responsible for quite a few of them...However, even when I present more rational theories, they often face their fair share of scrutiny. There are usually a number of ways in which even a fairly IRONCLAD theory can be challenged.But every once in a while a theory comes along with so few holes that..For the most part, Potterheads actually AGREE. Theories so plausible (and with so little evidence pointing AGAINST them)..Or just, inconsequential and light-hearted that it's easier to just roll with them than to argue.Today we're going to be taking at look at 7 theories that fit exactly this criteria. Theories you hear and just think..."Why not?"Let's dive in.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

At the time of writing this, Ollivander's Wand Shop has been supplying the wizarding community with the finest wands money can buy for nearly 24 centuries, having first opened its doors as far back as 382 BC. I know I know, this date DOES seem a little far-fetched, but rest assured that it has been confirmed as canon.And it was during that year that the original 'Ollivander', the ancestor of Garrick Ollivander, was thought to have come from a Mediterranean country in Roman times and set up a stall in what would eventually become Diagon Alley.-The Ollivander family quickly revolutionized wand making when they publicly forsook the traditional wand-making process, which previously had witches and wizards procure their own wand core. Ollivander believed that this process produced wands that were 'inferior' in quality and performance, which led to the family procuring all wand components for future customers.At this point, the Ollivander of the time began his quest to discover the finest wand cores and the wand woods that best complemented them.And from this point onward, the purchaser would no longer select a wand of THEIR choosing- and instead began the tradition of the WAND choosing the wizard.In theory, this is a nice idea which ensures that each witch or wizard is paired with a wand perfect just for them. It also portrays the Ollivander family as genuinely caring for their customers' best interests in the name of passionate wand-making.But I think there's a lot more to this business model than meets the eye, and I think that I've got some compelling evidence to suggest that there are seriously dark undertones to the wand industry.Join me today as we dismantle the single longest-running business in Wizarding History.Let's dive inSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I question the Harry Potter books A LOT.But there's one thing in particular that I've always more or less accepted at face value with no regard for HOW it actually unfolds. And that THING is HOW the Ministry (and others) communicates with what are essentially amortal wraithlike spirits that (as far as I know) do NOT possess the ability to speak. I'm of course talking about DEMENTORS.Adding even more mystery to this question is the fact that underneath that hood of theirs the Dementors have a HOLE where their mouth is supposed to be (along with some black holes for eyes).-We know that the Ministry of Magic controls them (to some extent), but I suppose you could argue that this is an unspoken arrangement whereby Dementors are allowed to THRIVE at Azkaban Prison in exchange for relative 'peace' between the two factions.But as it happens, there are passages from the books which STRONGLY suggest Dementors relayed information to Fudge & The Ministry..In The form of WORDS strung together.Therefore, today I want to tackle the question of..CAN Dementors speak. And equally as important, HOW?Let's dive in.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the surface, Azkaban seems like a pretty good idea- mainly due to its effectiveness. It's on a far-off remote island, it has a fortress designed to keep the most dangerous criminals at bay, there are perpetual storms surrounding the island, AND there's an army of Dementors working as prison guards.-And that's just the PHYSICAL side of things. Mentally, the prison is an absolute nightmare. The crashing waves and howling winds serve as a natural barrier, isolating the inmates from the world they once terrorized.The Dementors, with their shadowy forms, siphon hope and happiness from every soul they encounter. And those who enter Azkaban often leave something behind - pieces of their sanity, their will to fight, and sometimes even their humanity.And all of this is just about borderline acceptable if we consider that it's meant to house murderers, dark wizards and those who have committed unspeakable acts against others.But the major issue here is that Azkaban is one of the ONLY Wizarding Prisons in Britain. And what this means is that perpetrators of more MINOR crimes, and in some cases those who have been wrongly convicted, are unjustly sent in to this hell-hole along with the rest of them.-It hardly seems appropriate that someone convicted for say, theft, would endure what is essentially the same punishment as someone who has murdered.This raises a whole plethora of questions about wizarding society as a whole, but the one we're going to start with is: WHY one gigantic horrible prison? Why not a network of smaller, more humane facilities that focus on rehabilitation rather than sheer punishment?-Today we're going to be diving in to all of that, and more, as we discuss the mess that is the wizarding justice system.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Harry Potter lore is a lot deeper than some people realize, so today we're going to be winding the clocks back once again and exploring 7 more significant events in Harry Potter canon. The last video left us in the early part of the 13th century, and today we'll be picking things up in the latter half.Let's get in to it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
