What Happened to the Dementors AFTER the Deathly Hallows? - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing the fabled prophecy, and what is arguably the most important date in Harry Potter lore as a whole- and that is the day that Lord Voldemort travelled to Godric's Hollow to murder the Potters. Most of you probably know why Voldemort travelled there on that fateful night- to kill baby Harry- but what some of you might not entirely understand is why it HAD to be done. Why did he HAVE to kill the Potters? Wasn't he the all powerful dark lord with legions of followers? What immediate threat did this family pose to him? The answer to this question lies inside of the famous 'prophecy'. 'The prophecy' of course refers to the prediction foretold by Sybil Trellawny in Hogsmeade pub in the year 1980. We know Sybill as the professor of divination at Hogwarts, and we know that she has a track record of successful predictions- predicting at the end of the 93-94 school year that Pettigrew would escape, and that Voldemort would return. However, she was not always so successful, and in 1980 found herself in the Hogsmeade pub with Dumbledore, interviewing for her post as professor. While her poor reputation preceded her, Dumbledore gave her a chance because she was the great grand-daughter of famous seer, Cassandra Trelawney. During her interview, a disappointed and unimpressed Dumbledore began to lose interest, when suddenly Sybill entered in to a trance. In her trance-like state, Sybill spoke of the famous prophecy that we all know, explaining that Voldemort would be defeated. It spoke of a boy, that would be born at the end of July, that possessed the power to defeat the dark lord himself. What Dumbledore and Sybill did not know, however, was that Snape (who was then a death eater), was eavesdropping at the door. This simple fact immediately placed Sybill in great danger from Voldemort- and in an effort to protect her, Dumbledore hired her for the position at Hogwarts.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're discussing the darker side of the wizarding world- the history of the dark arts. Just like any other line of magic, the spells and charms that the wizarding community feared most... the dark arts... has a long, complex history. - But, unfortunately for modern historians, much of it has remained shrouded in secrecy. If it weren't for a few ancient Dark Wizards, like the sorcerer named Godelot who wrote the resource book Magick Moste Evile, we would know very little of the methods dark wizards employed in their crafts. But thanks to their texts, and the resurgence in dark magic that Tom Riddle brought about towards the end of the 20th century, we're able to chart a course from the earliest days of -dark magic, to the modern era....

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Newt Scamander, Magical (Fantastic) Beasts, and his trusty suitcase. More specifically- we’re going to be diving in to one very big question: HOW Does Newt Scamander’s Suitcase work? And just HOW BIG are the environments within it? Let’s jump in. Now- just last week I was rewatching Fantastic Beasts 1 and 2, prepping myself and making sure that I was on top of all of of the details of the prequel films in advance of the release of the THIRD installment- coming April 15- Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. The films- which I’ve seen just a few times at this point (a stark difference between the number of times I’ve seen the Harry Potter films, probably hundreds there) were more or less just as I had remembered, however- there was one lingering question in the back of my mind: just HOW on earth does NEWt Scamander’s suitcase work? And, more importantly, just HOW many magical creatures are housed within it? Which creatures can be found inside?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory, in today’s video we’re going to be discussing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. More specifically- we're going to be discussing Harry's encounter with Dementors on the Hogwarts Express and the shocking truth behind what Harry hears during these attacks. I’m also going to be discussing a theory for WHY Dementors seem to be so drawn to Harry. Are his numerous run-ins with dementors the result of sheer dumb misfortune? Or were they drawn to him for another, more sinister reason? See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
