Harry Potter Theory EXTRA

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing whether or not Harry ever visited the Dursley family after he grew into adulthood.

From the opening paragraph of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, it's understood that the Dursleys are not the easiest people to get along with. They are almost explicitly stated to be rather unreasonable people who were not fond of anything that might make them appear to be anything other than absolutely normal.

This brings us to the question of today's video: After growing up in this type of environment with the Dursleys, did Harry ever visit them after he became an adult? Because, let's be honest, no one would blame him if he didn't.

Hey everyone,

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing why the world of Muggles and the world of witches and wizards are kept separate from one another.

As we discover throughout Harry's initial years within magical society, witches and wizards have gone to great lengths to hide their world from that of Muggles. From concealment charms that make the castle of Hogwarts School look like a dangerous ruin to the secret brick-walled entrance to Diagon Alley, there are an incredible number of spells used to keep the wizarding world a secret from non-magical people.

In fact, so well hidden is every bit of this world that when Harry Potter receives his letter of acceptance to Hogwarts, he is absolutely shocked to learn of the secret magical world that's existed alongside ordinary society for centuries. How could this be true? How is it that no one knew that witches, wizards, dragons, potions and magic existed? What possible reason could there be to keep these two worlds apart? Especially, when magic has the potential to do so much good in the world?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing everything that Lord Voldemort did in the years between his first and second rise to power.

Of course, there are many things - from bad to worse, to absolutely horrifying - that Voldemort did as a young Tom Riddle and, of course, in his adult years after he had officially become the Dark Lord. But much mystery surrounds the decade and a bit that took place between his fall at the infant feet of one-year-old Harry Potter in 1981 and what I would argue was his official "return" in 1995.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing some of the most deadly potions known within the wizarding world of Harry Potter.

From The Philosopher's Stone right through to The Deathly Hallows, Harry Potter and his friends and allies come up against many dark and dangerous things, with the most obvious being Voldemort, Unforgivable Curses - specifically, the Killing Curse - and Horcruxes. However, there are plenty of other ways that witches and wizards who are not the Chosen One can meet their end in the wizarding world. From death-dealing magical beings to plants that can kill, there is no shortage of potentially fatal spells, encounters, and objects throughout the series. One of the most overlooked dangers, however, comes in the form of POTIONS. When brewed correctly, these powerful draughts can make people fall in love or change the course of the future with fabricated luck. And, of course, some of them can even kill. So, in today's video, I'll be focusing on the top five MOST DEADLY POTIONS, ranking them in order from the least dangerous to the most.

To start things off, coming in at number five, we have...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're going to be discussing the VERY FIRST known Witch AND Wizard in Harry Potter history. Over the course of the Harry Potter story we see some impressively old witches and wizards, including some who have lived for multiple centuries.

Barry Wee Willie Winkle, the oldest living wizard, had his 755th birthday featured in the August 1991 issue of the Daily Prophet, and Nicolas Flamel, with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, reached 700. But while these numbers may seem impressive, it's important to note that wizardkind dates back much, much further than 700 or so years.

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing a handful of villains from the Harry Potter series that were just plain bad at being BAD.

As the wizarding world of Harry Potter is set in a fantasy universe in which a young boy discovers he's a wizard who was - as a mere infant - responsible for the downfall of the most evil dark wizard the world had ever know, it's not all that surprising that throughout the series, Harry Potter encounters many, many other witches and wizards who would wish him harm. From those who loyally followed Lord Voldemort - the wizard he inadvertently took down with the power of his mother's love - to the less evil but no less menacing bullies of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, there were a lot of people who wished to hurt Harry and his friends during their seven year journey through wizarding school and beyond. And while some of these individuals were INCREDIBLY EVIL beyond any shadow of a doubt - people capable of doing appalling things in the name of their beliefs or thirst for power - some were, well - how shall I put this? - simply not very GOOD at being BAD.

And, so, in today's video, I'll be taking you through my picks for the top five most ineffective villains of the series. Starting with...

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the history of the wizarding branch of magic known as Divination.

Over the centuries, Divination has gone by many names - soothsaying, mystic magic, the second sight, clairvoyance and fortune-telling. And while some of these terms may seem more familiar than others, they all represent the same thing: the somewhat obscure form of magic that is rooted in the ability to foresee the future.
