Inside the CHAOS of the New Harry Potter Reboot

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Severus Snape, Lord Voldemort- and the massive question of Why on earth Snape didn’t do MORE to stagnate Voldemort’s resurgence. As the series unfolds, Snape's loyalties and motivations become a subject of intense speculation and debate among fans. Because you see, throughout the series Snape occupies a unique position, situated at the crossroads of light and darkness. Initially portrayed as a villain, his true allegiance is later revealed. However, upon this big reveal I couldn’t help but also ask- why didn’t he capitalize on an opportunity to eliminate Voldemort sooner? Snape had fooled everyone, even the Legilimens Lord Voldemort, which put him in a better position to assassinate Voldemort than anyone.Sure, Voldemort’s Horcruxes would have kept him ‘alive’- but he would have been once again reduced to a non-corporeal form, reliant on others (like Nagini and Pettigrew) to help him return to a physical form. Another aspect to consider is that the more time Voldemort is reduced to a non-corporeal form, the more time there is to find and destroy the rest of his Horcruxes. In this scenario, it’s entirely possible that by the time Voldemort is ‘back’ he has no more Horcruxes to fall back on.By killing Voldemort Snape could have effectively put Voldemort’s resurgence to a halt and potentially saved countless lives in the process. And all it would have taken is one ‘surprise’ Avada Kedavra.So, was it unwillingness? Fear? Snape’s devotion to a grander plan? Or something else altogether.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.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the history of the magical sporting event known far and wide around the wizarding world as QUIDDITCH.Quidditch is without a doubt, the most popular and well-known sport played by witches and wizards in the entirety of the wizarding world. It is, as you may have guessed or probably already know, extremely magical in nature - as the whole game revolves around various balls that fly about of their own volition and is played while riding around on broomsticks.-With two opposing teams of seven, Quidditch is played on a pitch typically set up on a deserted moor or field, far from the view of us Muggles. And just as with many of our non-magical team sports, there are different positions on each team. These positions are known as the Chasers, of which there are three, the Beaters, of which there are two, a single Keeper, and a Seeker. Quidditch is also played using four different balls - an entirely seamless red leather Quaffle, 12 inches in size and used to score points on opposing teams' goals, two 10-inch iron Bludgers, which only serve to knock players off their broomsticks and their game, and a Golden Snitch - a small golden ball with silver, rotational wings. Both teams then have three goalposts, raised high in the air with a large hoop at the top of each. It's the Chasers' job to use the Quaffle to score on the opposing team's goals. Each successful shot through one of these hoop goals is worth 10 points. Goalposts are guarded by a team's Keeper - similar to that of a Muggle sports team's goalie. The Beaters' primary responsibility is to hit - or "beat" - the Bludgers away from their teammates in order to allow them to score points uninterrupted, without being knocked off their broomsticks. And then there's the Seeker, who basically plays a game all on their own, with their one and only goal being to find and catch the Golden Snitch before the other team's Seeker. Doing so earns the Seeker's team 150 points and signifies the end of the match.-Of course, as with any sport, Quidditch hasn't always been played this way. It has evolved over the centuries, and has a rich and rather colourful past. In fact, we are fortunate enough to have an incredibly robust account of Quidditch's history thanks to Quidditch Through the Ages, a text by the wizard Kennilworthy Whisp. Throughout the remainder of today's video, the information that I'll be sharing is based on Kennilworthy's tremendous research and body of work, all of which focused on the evolution and history of this incredible sport.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Coming to you with some really sad news today. RIP Michael Gambon AKA Dumbledore.Earlier on I read that Michael Gambon, who famously played Albus Dumbledore for the majority of the Harry Potter films,-has passed away at the age of 82."We are devastated to announce the loss of Sir Michael Gambon," said the statement issued on behalf of his wife, Anne, and son Fergus by publicist Clair Dobbs.It added that he "died peacefully in hospital" after a bout of pneumonia with the pair at his bedside.His family also added:..."We ask that you respect our privacy at this painful time and thank you for your messages of support and love,"-...For those unaware, Gambon took over the role of Dumbledore after the death of Richard Harris, who portrayed the wise old wizard in the Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets.And take over the role he certainly did- and while the two men may have portrayed Dumbledore in their own unique ways, both were incredibly effective. Leaving their mark on the Harry Potter franchise for all of eternity.Born on October 19, 1940, in Dublin, Ireland, Michael Gambon showed an early inclination towards the arts. He left school at the age of 15 and went on to become a successful engineer. However, the allure of the theater proved irresistible, and Gambon soon embarked on a professional acting career. He joined the prestigious National Theatre in London's Old Vic as one of its founding members in 1962. Collaborating with legendary figures like Laurence Olivier, Derek Jacobi, and Maggie Smith, Gambon developed his craft and gained prominence on the stage.Throughout his illustrious career, Gambon amassed numerous awards and honors. He received three Olivier Awards and two Critics' Circle Theatre Awards for his remarkable stage performances. On the screen, Gambon was honored with four British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards. Additionally, he won two ensemble cast Screen Actors Guild Awards for his roles in "Gosford Park" and "The King's Speech." In 1998, Gambon was knighted for his immense contributions to the world of drama.But it wasn't just contributions to the world of Drama that Gambon deserved to be knighted for. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that Gambon played an integral part of so many people's childhoods- bringing the iconic role of Dumbledore to life.It's tough getting older and seeing our childhood heroes passing away, but just like Hagrid and Robbie Coltrane- Gambon's contributions to the world of theatre will live forever.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
