  • EVERY Mistake in Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone (All ERRORS + Plot Holes)

    EVERY Mistake in Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone (All ERRORS + Plot Holes)
    Oct 28 2024
    Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. This is part 1 of a video series where I’ll be diving in to the Harry Potter books and taking a look, chapter by chapter, at all of the mistakes that were made. Starting with book 1: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. I’m going to be placing a particular focus on instances in which factual errors were made or canon was somehow contradicted. Trivial errors like typos / grammatical issues will not be focused on this video. I should also mention that I’m not making this video to CRITICIZE the books, but rather, take a look out of my own curiosity. Authors are only human and nearly every book series has mistakes like these made in them. Rowling has even addressed this topic herself: "As obsessive fans will tell you, I do slip up! Several classrooms move floors mysteriously between books and these are the least serious continuity errors! Most of the fansites will point you in the direction of my mistakes. But the essentials remain consistent from book to book because the story has been plotted for a long time and it is clear in my mind." In the interest of time, I’m also only going to briefly summarizing each mistake as there’s quite a lot of ground to cover. Starting…With the COVER of the very first book.

    EVERY Dark Wizarding CRIME That Will Send You to Azkaban - Harry Potter Explained
    Oct 25 2024
    Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Now- we've all heard of the Unforgivable Curses—three of the most forbidden and dangerous spells in the wizarding world. Casting any of these, whether it's the Cruciatus Curse, the Imperius Curse, or the Killing Curse, is considered such a heinous crime that it’s punishable by a life sentence in Azkaban. But this got me thinking... What other acts in the Wizarding World can earn you a sentence to Azkaban? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    7 Harry Potter Theories Every Fan AGREES ON
    Oct 14 2024
    Within the theorydom, there are some pretty absurd Harry Potter theories out there. And I’ll admit, I’m likely responsible for quite a few of them… However, even when I present more rational theories, they often face their fair share of scrutiny. There are usually a number of ways in which even a fairly IRONCLAD theory can be challenged. But every once in a while a theory comes along with so few holes that..For the most part, Potterheads actually AGREE. Theories so plausible (and with so little evidence pointing AGAINST them)..Or just, inconsequential and light-hearted that it’s easier to just roll with them than to argue. Today we’re going to be taking at look at 7 theories that fit exactly this criteria. Theories you hear and just think…”Why not?” Let’s dive in. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Ollivander's DARKEST Secret - Harry Potter Theory

    Ollivander's DARKEST Secret - Harry Potter Theory
    Oct 9 2024
    At the time of writing this, Ollivander’s Wand Shop has been supplying the wizarding community with the finest wands money can buy for nearly 24 centuries, having first opened its doors as far back as 382 BC. I know I know, this date DOES seem a little far-fetched, but rest assured that it has been confirmed as canon. And it was during that year that the original ‘Ollivander’, the ancestor of Garrick Ollivander, was thought to have come from a Mediterranean country in Roman times and set up a stall in what would eventually become Diagon Alley. The Ollivander family quickly revolutionized wand making when they publicly forsook the traditional wand-making process, which previously had witches and wizards procure their own wand core. Ollivander believed that this process produced wands that were ‘inferior’ in quality and performance, which led to the family procuring all wand components for future customers. At this point, the Ollivander of the time began his quest to discover the finest wand cores and the wand woods that best complemented them. And from this point onward, the purchaser would no longer select a wand of THEIR choosing- and instead began the tradition of the WAND choosing the wizard. In theory, this is a nice idea which ensures that each witch or wizard is paired with a wand perfect just for them. It also portrays the Ollivander family as genuinely caring for their customers' best interests in the name of passionate wand-making. But I think there’s a lot more to this business model than meets the eye, and I think that I’ve got some compelling evidence to suggest that there are seriously dark undertones to the wand industry.

  • How Do Wizards Communicate with Dementors? - Harry Potter Theory

    How Do Wizards Communicate with Dementors? - Harry Potter Theory
    Oct 6 2024
    I question the Harry Potter books A LOT. But there’s one thing in particular that I’ve always more or less accepted at face value with no regard for HOW it actually unfolds. And that THING is HOW the Ministry (and others) communicates with what are essentially amortal wraithlike spirits that (as far as I know) do NOT possess the ability to speak. I’m of course talking about DEMENTORS. Adding even more mystery to this question is the fact that underneath that hood of theirs the Dementors have a HOLE where their mouth is supposed to be (along with some black holes for eyes). We know that the Ministry of Magic controls them (to some extent), but I suppose you could argue that this is an unspoken arrangement whereby Dementors are allowed to THRIVE at Azkaban Prison in exchange for relative ‘peace’ between the two factions. But as it happens, there are passages from the books which STRONGLY suggest Dementors relayed information to Fudge & The Ministry..In The form of WORDS strung together. Therefore, today I want to tackle the question of..CAN Dementors speak. And equally as important, HOW? Let’s dive in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
