    7 Things HBO’s Harry Potter Trailer Got WRONG (BREAKDOWN)

    Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. The first thing that I want to get out of the way here is that I DID actually enjoy the trailer. I don’t know what I expected, but it exceeded those expectations, so I just want to make it clear that these are OBJECTIVE criticisms. I’ve already done a breakdown video as well as a video full of some fun easter eggs, so make sure to check those out if you haven’t already. Alright, on to the things that were ‘wrong’. Before we go any further, I do feel the need to clarify what “wrong” actually means. Because not everything that’s different from the books is automatically wrong. There are a few different ways something can fall into this category. First, you have direct contradictions—things that are described a certain way in the books, and the show does completely different. Then we’ve got missing details—smaller things that are clearly established in the books, but just don’t show up (at least from what we can tell). And finally, we have additions—things that were never in the books at all, that the show has decided to introduce. Now, again—none of this necessarily ruins anything. Some of these changes might even end up being improvements. But if they’re going to advertise as book-accurate, we might as well hold them accountable by pointing out a couple of shortcomings. Again, on the whole I think they did a good job, but these are the things that stood out to me. Starting with… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    10 MAJOR Easter EGGS from HBO’s Harry Potter Trailer

    Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. So—I already did a full breakdown of the brand new HBO Harry Potter trailer. In that video I included my thoughts about the show, broke down each part of the trailer, and even included a few easter eggs. But after going back and watching it a few more times I realized that there are a TON of small details and even more Easter eggs that I missed I barely scratched the surface. And while I’m sure there are even MORE easter eggs than what I’ve been able to spot, let me present to you what I’ve got so far. If you see one that I missed, let me know down in the comment section below.

    Paapa Essiedu FINALLY Speaks Out After Snape Casting Backlash - My Thoughts

    It was announced just over a year ago now that Paapa Essiedu would be taking on the role of Snape in the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series. Aaand it’s been a pretty controversial casting to say the least. In fact, it’s gotten to the point where you really can’t have a discussion about any aspect of the series without people bringing it up. And up until now, Essiedu himself hadn’t actually addressed the backlash. But in a recent interview, he finally spoke out about what he’s been experiencing. Today I want to talk about what he said…But also—why this situation has gotten so out of control. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Wizards Are JUST AS BAD as Voldemort (Here’s Why)

    House elf slaves. Goblins BANNED from using wands. Werewolves shunned. Is it just me..Or are wizards, pretty awful? Voldemort is widely known for his strong hatred of MUGGLES, essentially believing that any human with non-magical, impure blood is effectively ‘beneath him’. But that prejudice extends beyond Muggles. Voldemort is so committed to this doctrine that he also rejects half-bloods—viewing them as lesser despite their magical ability. And it’s primarily due to this belief system that he set his sights on world domination, believing that the superior species- wizardkind- should rule over everyone else. And while he didn’t share this exact sentiment, Grindelwald believed something similar. While he didn’t outright HATE muggles, he did firmly believe that they were ‘inferior’ - necessitating his own belief that wizarding dominion would be for ‘the greater good’. And while this quote from his rally is somewhat giftwrapped in manipulation, it does mostly echo his philosophy: “You came because you crave something new. Something different. It is said that I hate le Non-magiques. The Muggle. The No-Maj. The Can't-Spells. I do not hate them; I do not. For I do not fight out of hatred. I believe that the Muggles are not lesser, but other. Not worthless, but of other value. Not disposable, but of different disposition. Magic blooms only in rare souls.” Anyway, my point is this: both of these men were hellbent on wizarding dominance because they genuinely believed that wizards were superior. It pushed them to do unspeakable things in the name of what they believed was “right”—and, more importantly, to convince others of the same. And while Voldemort was a little more crass in his presentation, and Grindelwald a little more refined and persuasive, the messaging was still the same. They were spreading hatred. In response, the wizarding world pushed back, condemned it, and assumed a distinctly holier-than-thou position. But what’s interesting about this is that Wizardkind, the same people who (with the exception of the Death Eaters and Grindelwald’s acolytes), fought against these prejudiced causes..Are a bunch of pompous hypocrites. And while the average witch or wizard LOVES to act morally superior to Voldemort—]when you actually look at their treatment of other beings, it becomes clear that in many ways- they are no better.

    All 15 Spells & Curses Voldemort CREATED - Harry Potter Explained

    By the time the Harry Potter story takes place, there’s already a lot of magic floating around the wizarding world. And in many instances, because this magic already exists when we’re introduced to it… It doesn’t really stand out. But the truth is that much of this magic only exists because of Voldemort. And if we consider that he died at just 71 years old, that means some of the most inventive magic in history was actually created pretty recently. Which is why today we’re going to be taking a look at all of the magic - good and evil- produced by Voldemort in his lifetime. I’ll start with the CONFIRMED spells, and then get into a few theories.

    15 Dark Curses the Ministry Never BANNED - Harry Potter Explained

    I’ve done a lot of spell videos. The most powerful, the most dangerous, the hardest to cast, but one I’ve always wanted to make involves taking a look at the most… Messed up. Not the deadliest. Not the flashiest. But the kind of spell that makes you question why someone would even invent it in the first place. Fortunately I’ve gone down the spell rabbit hole pretty deep- I’ve even made an entire video covering every single spell in the Wizarding World. So I’ve got a pretty solid grasp on the full spellbook. Which is why today, we’re shining a light on the most messed up, demented spells the Wizarding World has to offer—spells that exist to inflict pain, humiliation, and sometimes just pure, senseless suffering.

    Why Didn't Voldemort Make MORE Horcruxes? - Harry Potter Theory

    Imagine this: You’re losing the war. Your followers are dropping off like flies. And one by one, the objects that keep you alive—your Horcruxes—are being destroyed. Your NOLONGER-so-secret key to eternal life…is failing. Now—correct me if I’m wrong—but there seems to be a pretty obvious solution here… Just make…more. So…Why didn’t he? Why didn’t Voldemort, the moment he realized his soul fragments were being destroyed, simply create more Horcruxes? Two more? Four more? Forty more? He knew the magic, and he knew the consequences. So what stood in his way? Today we’ll be diving into all of this and MORE as we unpack the convoluted topic of Voldemort’s Horcruxes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
