  • The Trace Makes NO SENSE (+Its DARK Secret REVEALED) - Harry Potter Theory

    The Trace Makes NO SENSE (+Its DARK Secret REVEALED) - Harry Potter Theory
    2024/11/24
    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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Why Wizards STOPPED Using POWERFUL Ancient Magic - Harry Potter Theory

    Why Wizards STOPPED Using POWERFUL Ancient Magic - Harry Potter Theory
    2024/11/21
    "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.

    Legendary Witches and Wizards You’ve Never Heard Of (Part 1: A-B) - Harry Potter History
    2024/11/19
    Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be discussing some of the most important figures - both famous and infamous- from Wizarding History- names that are coupled with accomplishments and stories that make the Wizarding World what it is today. The Harry Potter books really only cover the time period that the books are SET IN, but there’s a lot more to Harry Potter lore than meets the eye and It’s always interesting taking a look back at the history books. There is a LOT of ground to cover and a LOT of names on this list, so this will just be PART 1 of a multi part series. Starting in alphabetical order, today we’re taking a look at the A’s and B’s.

  • HBO Found Their NEW Dumbledore + Hogwarts Legacy SEQUEL Update - Harry Potter News

    HBO Found Their NEW Dumbledore + Hogwarts Legacy SEQUEL Update - Harry Potter News
    2024/11/15
    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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Where Do SQUIBS Come From? Why Aren't They Magical? - Harry Potter Theory

    Where Do SQUIBS Come From? Why Aren't They Magical? - Harry Potter Theory
    2024/11/14
    Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be discussing exactly how the genetics of witches and wizards work, with a focus on where the heck SQUIBS come from. If you’re a fan of Harry Potter and the works of fantasy fiction in general, you’ve likely asked yourself the question: Where does magic come from? In some universes it would seem that magic can be acquired or learned. But in others—like the wizarding world of Harry Potter—magic is explained as more of a natural talent or “gift” that a person is born with. But how exactly does that magic get passed down from generation to generation? Why is it that some Muggles end up with magical abilities—while other children born into wizarding families are unable to perform even the simplest of spells? Learn more about your ad choices.

  • HUGE Update for Hogwarts Legacy 2! (FINALLY!)

    HUGE Update for Hogwarts Legacy 2! (FINALLY!)
    2024/11/08
    Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In what seems like just the last couple of years (but in reality has spanned nearly a DECADE), Warner Bros. has faced some challenges when releasing new Harry Potter IP- particularly the "Fantastic Beasts" film series. These high-budget films which dropped in 2016, 2018, and 2022 respectively struggled to find traction at the global box office and didn’t quite hit the mark for most fans. And for these reasons, it’s unlikely that the Fantastic Beasts films will ever continue, stopping 2 films shy of the 5 film projection originally provided. However, Warner Bros. found a bright spot in 2023 with the release of Hogwarts Legacy, which seemed to really strike a chord with Harry Potter fans worldwide. The game topped sales charts as the best-selling game of 2023 across ALL platforms and ALL genres- beating out Call of Duty, Madden, Zelda, Diablo and more. And since the game’s release over 30 MILLION copies have been sold. Encouraged by this success, Warner Bros. Games released Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions in August, remastered the Lego Harry Potter game collection, and granted licenses for several new mobile games. But the biggest bit of news is that a Hogwarts Legacy SEQUEL has apparently become a ‘very big priority’. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Why Didn't Voldemort Pick RANDOM Tiny Objects for Horcruxes? - Harry Potter Theory

    Why Didn't Voldemort Pick RANDOM Tiny Objects for Horcruxes? - Harry Potter Theory
    2024/11/05
    A grain of sand on a lost beach. A tiny pebble lying unnoticed on the ocean floor. A fallen acorn buried under years of autumn leaves. A faded seashell washed ashore on an uninhabited island. These are just a few examples of the kinds of objects that I would use if I was in the position to create my own Horcruxes…And I’m sure the same can be said for a lot of you. Why? Well.. They’re small, hard-to-locate, and perhaps most important of all: meaningless. But somehow, Voldemort missed the memo here, and instead chose objects that were eventually linked back to him. So..The obvious questions here are…WHY was Voldemort so particular in his selection process for potential Horcruxes? And why didn’t he choose things that would be virtually impossible to find? After all, had he done what seems so obvious, to pick meaningless inanimate objects, he may still be ruling over the Wizarding World. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
