The 5 BEST Hagrid Theories You'll Ever Hear - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the history, as we know it, of the well known and well loved Weasley family.Even those not terribly familiar with the wizarding world of Harry Potter will have likely - at the very least - HEARD of the large and lovable Weasley clan. Recognized not only by their shock of bright red hair but also by their unwavering loyalty and widespread reputation for believing all witches and wizards are equal, the Weasleys are present within the novels and films from almost the very beginning of the series. First introduced during the famous scene at King's Cross Station in which Harry searches for Platform 9 ¾s, we meet Ron, his mother, Molly, and four of Ron's six siblings before Harry even boards the Hogwarts Express. From there, Harry and Ron go on to create one of the strongest friendships of the entire series, with the orphaned "Boy Who Lived" spending much of his time with, not only Ron, but the entire Weasley family during the many holidays and special events that take place over the years. But where did this famous family of redheads known for their strong beliefs and affiliation with doing "what is right" - even in the face of financial instability - come from? What is the history of the Weasley family?Let's start from the beginning.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 Harry Potter book characters who are NOTHING like their movie counterparts.As a general rule, fans of book series know to watch movie adaptations of the novels they love without expecting too much - for it is extremely rare that a filmmaker's vision will match the fictitious world that a fan has created in their own mind. After all, how could you expect every single person to interpret a book the EXACT same way - from the appearance of the characters to how the world looks around them. And even if there was some sort of consensus on how a character was supposed to look, there's also the fact that it's incredibly unlikely for there to be an actor or actress out there who perfectly resembles that character, is the right age, has the correct dialect, AND can act. Of course, this seems even more impossible when applying the concept to an entire cast of characters - like in Harry Potter.-And so, when the first movie adaptation of the Harry Potter series, The Philosopher's Stone, was released in 2001, it goes without saying that fans of the books knew things wouldn't be perfect. BUT it wasn't unreasonable to think that the films would at least TRY to accurately reflect the people and places that fans had read on the pages of the first few books. And in many ways, it did - especially, that first film. However, as more and more movies were made, there were some pretty glaring differences between the books and the films - in particular, with some of the main characters of the series.-And so, here are five book characters that I think are NOTHING like their movie counterparts...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 Harry Potter theory. Because a new Fantastic Beasts film seems...Improbable at this point, today I'm going to be filling in the blanks, taking a look at those 13 long years (1932-1945) we may never get a chance to see on screen. I can only operate within the existing lore, so there's certainly still going to be some missing information, but bare with me.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 5 famous Slytherin witches and wizards who went on to make history.Within the wizarding world, anyone referred to as simply a "Slytherin" is a current or former student of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry who was sorted into Slytherin House upon their arrival at the school.-The House of Slytherin is representative of one of the four founding members of Hogwarts, Salazar Slytherin, a powerful wizard who believed in magical blood purity and argued that only pureblood families should be offered enrollment at the school.As such, many people associate Slytherins with cruel, dark or simply prejudiced witches or wizards. Unfortunately, this view of Slytherins is further supported by the sheer number of graduates who went on to become entangled with Dark Magic. BUT, it's important to note that that's NOT ALWAYS the case. There are lots of *quote* good witches and wizards who have been former Slytherin students, some of which we'll touch on in today's video.So, with that in mind, let's take a look at five famous Slytherins who made history.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
