    Full History of the Giant Wars: The Bloodiest Conflict in Wizarding History

    The Global Wizarding War. The First Wizarding War. The Goblin Rebellions. The Second Wizarding War. These are all conflicts most Harry Potter fans are familiar with. But what if I told you that there was another war in Hary Potter history (that’s established in canon, I might add) that almost nobody talks about? A conflict that we know existed… but that Rowling only ever mentions briefly. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Is the Harry Potter TV Show COOKED? (My Honest Opinion)

    The show’s being made too soon. The casting’s all wrong. The writers haven’t read the books. These are just a few of the overwhelming number of controversies surrounding the new HBO series. Today I want to give you guys my honest opinion. Right now there’s a lot of information floating around—some facts, some opinions—but whichever way you slice it, the fandom is obviously pretty divided. Which is why I think it’s time for me as a Harry Potter content creator to tell you how I REALLY feel about the show…The good, the bad and the ugly. There’s a lot to unpack here, so let’s dive in to it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    How Voldemort Could Have Beaten Harry (5 Fatal Mistakes)

    Spoiler alert before we start: Harry ends up BEATING Voldemort. Also please Subscribe I’m begging you Anyway, with that out of the way: I don’t think many would argue that the Harry Potter novels give our dearest Harry ‘Plot Armour’. It feels like no matter what he does, or where he ends up, he always has the upper hand over Voldemort. I get it, Harry can’t just die- he’s the main character, but still- sometimes it feels like EVERYTHING is going against him but he STILL comes out on top. In particular, over Voldemort. When you actually go back through the books, there are several points where the Dark Lord is winning. He has control. He has the numbers. He has the advantage. And then - almost inexplicably- he gives it away. Which is exactly why today I want to examine the books with a little more scrutiny, and extract 5 very plausible ways that Voldemort could have actually WON. These aren’t far-fetched explanations or over-the-top theories, these are very real, and most importantly very CANON-CONSISTENT moments where a single decision would have changed the entire outcome of the war.

    Who Could Have Been the Most Powerful Wizard After Dumbledore, Voldemort & Grindelwald?

    In the world of Harry Potter there are a few witches and wizards that are just..A cut above the rest. You know who I’m talking about.. Dumbledore Grindelwald Voldemort And while they are all undeniably UNIQUE in a multitude of ways, what truly sets them apart from the rest is their IMMENSE magical power The ultimate currency among witches and wizards. In a past video I discussed WHY I think that these powerful few ARE the way that they are..Whether it’s attributed to their natural ability, their intelligence, their drive, or in some cases - the trauma that shaped them. But regardless of how they achieved it, these witches and wizards reached the very peak of the magical spectrum. Which is why today I want to approach this from a slightly different angle- taking a closer look at the witches and wizards who never reached their full potential. To clarify, I’m talking about those who COULD HAVE been among the most powerful, but fell short for some reason. Full transparency: When I came up with this topic I had NO IDEA what the final list was going to look like. Of course a few names popped in to my head, but constructing a final 5 wasn’t an easy task as there are SO MANY deserving characters. I think at least one of them will be a surprise. I’m also sure that your opinions will vary from mine, so comment YOUR TOP 5 down below before we start. Anyway, let’s dive in to it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    THE REAL Reason Lily Chose James Over Snape - DARK Harry Potter Theory

    This is going to be a bit of a world shatterer. Wouldn’t it be a cruel and tragic twist if the one witch whose love was powerful enough to defeat Voldemort… Was herself the victim of a love potion? And that the purest act of love in the entire wizarding world came from someone who never truly understood her love for her own husband? What if, beneath the surface of their famous love story, there lurked something much more…Sinister? What if James, desperate to win over the witch who repeatedly rejected him, resorted to the most drastic — and frankly, pathetic — of measures? Join me today as we unpeel the difficult reality surrounding one of the Wizarding World’s most well-known love stories, as well as the far reaching implications it may have caused. Don’t worry, I’ll cover arguments FOR and AGAINST. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    What If Grindelwald Teamed Up with YOUNG Tom Riddle? - Harry Potter Theory

    A while back I made a video called ‘Why Didn't Voldemort Try to RECRUIT Grindelwald?’, and basically- the focus of that video was why Voldemort never made any attempts to recruit an imprisoned Grindelwald at Nurmengard. On both occasions that Voldemort rose to power, Grindelwald was sitting in a locked tower, so it always felt a bit peculiar to me that he wouldn’t have tried to recruit the most powerful resource at his disposal..Especially at times when things weren’t looking particularly good for him. Ultimately, I concluded that the two men were simply too different to ever form a real alliance — at least at this stage in each of their lives. Voldemort never sought Grindelwald’s help because he didn’t believe he needed it. By the time he rose to power, he saw himself as the apex of magical evolution—immortal, unstoppable, and unrivaled. The very idea of reaching out to another powerful dark wizard, particularly one who had already been publicly defeated, would have felt beneath him. His obsession with control and dominance also wouldn’t have left any room for shared power or rival influence. And the truth here is that Grindelwald, despite having been beaten decades prior, still carried influence—and it’s entirely possible that his name, his ideology, and his ability to inspire loyalty could have easily disrupted the fragile obedience Voldemort maintained through fear. To recruit Grindelwald would be to risk dissent within his ranks and this was simply not the kind of risk that Voldemort would have been willing to take But I think that even IF Voldemort had reached out, Grindelwald would have refused. The man we see in Nurmengard is no longer the revolutionary of his youth. He is reflective, burdened by the weight of his past, and—at least in part—repentant. Grindelwald may have been a dark wizard, but he was also a thinker, and most importantly a man with a cause—however flawed. I fully stand behind the idea that an old Voldemort and an old Grindelwald just wouldn’t have worked out. But in today’s video, I want to explore a different timeline that I FEEL has entirely different dynamics, one in which Grindelwald, at the height of his power, recruited a young Tom Riddle. I think this arrangement is far more likely, far more plausible and far more dangerous. I’d also like to put forth a bold statement: the version of Voldemort that we got in the existing timeline Is NOT the most dangerous version. Let’s dive in to it. Learn more about your ad choices.

    THIS Is the NEW Hogwarts.. (HBO Series Set LEAK + MORE Updates)

    Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. In today’s video we’ll be briefly touching on a few bits of news related to the much-anticipated HBO Harry Potter TV Series. If you don’t know what this show is by now then I don’t really know what to say..Other than it’s impressive that you’ve managed to avoid it somehow. The show has been a talking point on this channel for years now — and what once felt like a far-fetched rumor has slowly become an undeniable reality. And in the most recent update from HBO’s chairman Casey Bloys, it looks like we’ve even got a fairly definitive release date. “We’ve been saying 2027, I would say, to narrow it down to some extent, early 2027. And now you’re going to ask, does that mean January, February, March, April, that we’re not ready to say. I’ll say early 2027.“ It’s always to tell hard how ‘firm’ these release dates given to us by TV execs truly are, but in the context of the Harry Potter show, this does feel very ‘real’ as they’ve only been able to narrow it down further as time goes on. It feels weird to say, but I guess that means the show is coming out in about a year. To get even more excited, let’s take a look at some of the other updates on the show.
