Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.-Before we get started, let me clarify what we're diving into today: this video is all about the things we learn about the Harry Potter story after the series ended - little tidbits of info that Rowling shared outside of the books. These are the hidden nuggets of lore you'd only know if you kept up with interviews, Pottermore updates, or extended publications. Things like..Oh I don't know, the fact that Rowling very seriously considered killing off Ron Weasley.This video is NOT about what happens to the wizarding world or its characters after Voldemort's defeat. That's a whole different topic which I've covered extensively in the past. If you want to know about THAT kind of thing, check out my other videos.Without further ado, let's dive in to some of the most fascinating things we've learned about the Harry Potter series after it ended!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, I've got a special compilation for you, featuring some of the darkest witches and wizards in wizarding history. Some of these names will be familiar, while others are much less well-known. However, one thing is certain: each of these witches and wizards has a rightful claim to the title of the darkest and most evil in wizarding history. So, if you want to be an expert on DARK WIZARDS then this is the video for you.With Christmas just around the corner, it's always nice to have Harry Potter content playing on repeat. But since there are only so many films, hopefully, this compilation helps pad out your playlist a little!These videos span 5 years on the channel so please be aware that there WILL BE some varied audio levels and a little bit of repeat information.Anyway, 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.

There are quite a few mistakes and plot holes in the Harry Potter books and films. In fact, there are enough for me to make several compilations of them. However, perhaps one of the most confusing and inconsistent elements of the Wizarding World is undoubtedly the 'Trace'- a fairly major plot component that is riddled with contradictions.-To the Harry Potter casual, these issues with the Trace probably went by relatively unnoticed, but for the die-hards, it was hard to ignore the glaringly obvious ways in which the trace was misrepresented. There are also many components of the trace that are never explained- like how it is actually applied to underage witches and wizards.Today, we'll be diving deep into the Trace - exploring what it is, how it's applied to children, and, through examples from the books and films, uncovering why this concept is essentially a total trainwreck. We'll also be looking at the trace from a more SINISTER perspective via one of my theories.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.

"A magic this powerful can do great harm in the wrong hands. It must be wielded by a select few."This fairly ominous quote of course refers to the phenomenon that is Ancient Magic - a primal, mysterious force that predates the more structured spellwork of the modern Wizarding World. Revered for its immense power yet feared for its unpredictability, ancient magic is woven into the tapestry of wizarding history, appearing in legends and the very foundations of wizarding society.Yet, in the modern day we hear very little of this 'ancient' and powerful force. Which raises an important question: how could something so integral to the Wizarding World's past have dwindled into what is effectively complete obscurity.In today's video, we'll delve into the mysteries of Ancient Magic - exploring what it truly is, where it went, and examining some examples of Ancient Magic that appear throughout the series, some of which you may not have even realized were ancient magic at all.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.

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. From the moment HBO's new Harry Potter TV Series was announced in April of 2023, fans of the series have been buzzing with questions and excitement. Questions like..What will the series be about? Will it stay true to the original books? And most importantly, who will be in charge of the project?And since then, a lot of these questions have been answered.-But perhaps the biggest lingering question mark surrounding the series pertains to casting. Because you see, so much of the Harry Potter films success was a direct result of the incredible casting decisions that were made.-For many of the roles it's almost impossible to imagine ANYONE else undertaking them. But..Showrunners for the upcoming series have the behemoth task of finding people anyway.Back in September an open casting call was announced for 3 of the most important characters in the series- Harry, Ron and Hermione. And for these roles, I can almost certainly tell you that it will be relatively unknown actors that end up taking on the characters. But besides these 3, there are a few other massively important roles that are central to the series..Like, oh I don't know- ALBUS DUMBLEDORE.And as it turns out, the studio already has someone in mind.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
