    Harry Potter Film Producer Reveals MASSIVE New Details About HBO Series

    First of all: happy back to Hogwarts day, and second of all: welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Like we normally see, the official Harry Potter social channels have been particularly active today — and with the HBO show fast approaching, you can bet your bottom dollar we’ve got some updates. And perhaps the biggest updates actually came from an interview with David Heyman on the official Harry Potter YouTube channel. If you don’t know who David Heyman is..He produced ALL 8 of the original films. I’ve taken the liberty of listening to the full interview, and I wanted to share some of my findings as Heyman reveals quite a lot about the upcoming show. Topics Covered / Questions Answered: What did David Heyman reveal about the new Harry Potter HBO series? How long will Season 1 of Harry Potter be? How much more Quidditch will the HBO series include? How will the new Hogwarts differ from the films? How much bigger will Diagon Alley be? How is Peeves being changed for the new series? Will S.P.E.W. finally appear in the Harry Potter adaptation? How will Harry, Ron and Hermione receive more character development? What does David Heyman mean by **“novels-plus”** material? Will the HBO series show events that were never depicted in the books? Will we see Dumbledore investigating events behind the scenes? How much will adult characters like Dumbledore and Snape be expanded? Will the series include new scenes outside of Harry’s perspective? How will knowing the full Harry Potter story change the adaptation? Will Season 1 foreshadow events from later books and seasons? How could Snape’s story be handled differently this time? How faithful will the HBO Harry Potter series actually be? Why does “faithful” not necessarily mean a word-for-word adaptation? How is the new series deliberately separating itself from the Harry Potter films? Will the show rely on practical sets and effects or CGI? Is Harry Potter Season 2 already in development? Is a new Harry Potter HBO trailer about to drop? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Why Didn’t Voldemort Realize Snape Was a Double Agent? - Harry Potter Theory

    For someone as paranoid, intelligent, and ruthlessly suspicious as Lord Voldemort, it seems implausible that someone like Snape could operate a double agent right under his nose for SO MANY years. His absolute trust in Snape (which lasts until the very end, I might add) seems almost impossible to explain. After Voldemort’s first defeat, Snape spent YEARS teaching at Hogwarts and maintaining a close enough relationship with Dumbledore that he eventually became one of his most trusted confidants. Voldemort, meanwhile, wasn’t JUST suspicious by nature. He was also one of the most accomplished Legilimens alive, entirely capable of penetrating other people’s minds and extracting their thoughts, memories, and emotions..Whenever he wanted to. Which is why sometimes I wonder HOW Snape managed to stand in front of Voldemort for years, lie directly to his face,and somehow… Never get caught? Topics Covered In This Video: Why Voldemort never realized Snape was a double agent Why Voldemort couldn’t simply read Snape’s mind How Legilimency actually works in Harry Potter How Snape used Occlumency against Voldemort Why being a powerful Legilimens didn’t make Voldemort all-knowing How Snape controlled his thoughts, emotions, and memories The cover story Snape used after Voldemort’s first downfall How Snape explained his years working for Dumbledore Why Voldemort believed Snape had returned to his side How Snape used genuine information to maintain Voldemort’s trust Why Snape’s love for Lily was something Voldemort failed to understand How Dumbledore helped protect Snape’s true allegiance Why killing Dumbledore made Snape appear completely loyal Whether Voldemort ever suspected Snape was betraying him Severus Snape’s double-agent strategy explained Harry Potter Legilimency and Occlumency explained Questions Answered: Why didn’t Voldemort realize Snape was a double agent? Why didn’t Voldemort read Snape’s mind? Could Voldemort use Legilimency on Snape? Was Snape better at Occlumency than Voldemort was at Legilimency? Can Legilimency detect when someone is lying? How did Snape hide his true memories from Voldemort? Why did Voldemort believe Snape’s explanation for working with Dumbledore? How did Snape regain Voldemort’s trust after his return? Why did Voldemort believe Snape was loyal after killing Dumbledore? Did Voldemort know Snape loved Lily Potter? Did Voldemort ever suspect Snape was secretly working for Dumbledore? How did Snape fool one of the greatest Legilimens in the Wizarding World? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
