Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be discussing the properties of Felix Felicis AKA Liquid Luck, in an effort to determine the roots of its effectiveness.

What IS it? And HOW does it INDUCE Luck?

Felix Felicis- or Liquid Luck, is first introduced to us as a potion, that, in essence, enables the consumer to become successful in ALL of their endeavours. The potion was first created in the 16th century by a potioneer by the name of Zygmunt Budge, who dubbed it the ‘crowning achievement of his career’.

"Malfoy's been giving generously to all sorts of things for years... gets him in with the right people... then he can ask favours... delay laws he doesn't want passed... Oh, he's very well-connected, Lucius Malfoy."

This quote got me thinking. Did...Lucius Malfoy, KNOWN Death Eater and proponent of pure-blood supremacy, actually BRIBE his way out of going to Azkaban? And if that’s the case, why didn’t money help Bellatrix in the same way?

Let’s dive in to it.

Why Didn't Lucius Malfoy Go to Azkaban after BOTH Wizarding Wars? - Harry Potter Theory

In the world of Harry Potter, few objects are as chilling and enigmatic as Horcruxes - vessels of a dark wizard's soul created via only the most sinister acts of dark magic. 

And throughout Wizarding history, there has always been an eerie silence surrounding the subject of Horcruxes. These mysterious objects, ingrained with a fragment of a dark wizard's soul, have become the epitome of the taboo. The reason for this secrecy lying in both fear and preservation- with the mere mention of these cursed objects sending shivers down the spines of even the bravest witches and wizards.

But for a young schoolboy by the name of Tom Riddle, Horcruxes represented something very different. To him, they represented an opportunity- an opportunity to gain the upper hand over other witches and wizards and achieve unparalleled levels of power. 

The allure of Horcruxes lay in the tantalizing promise of immortality and supremacy. As far back as early childhood, Riddle harbored ambitions far grander and more sinister than his peers. To him, Horcruxes weren't just objects of fear and secrecy; they were the key to unlocking a future in which he would reign unchallenged.

And for the most part, Tom was able to succeed in his goal of harnessing the power of Horcruxes. But what I want to discuss today is another unspoken element of Horcrux creation that’s never been properly touched on..A SECRET from Voldemort’s past that may very well provide answers to some of the DARKEST questions related to Voldemort’s quest for immortality.

Today we’ll answer all of that AND MORE as we dive in to the SECRET meanings behind each of Voldemort’s Horcruxes.

This Dark Harry Potter Theory TOTALLY CHANGES Voldemort’s Horcruxes

"Avada..."

This was what Lucius Malfoy began to utter upon the realization that he had just lost his House Elf servant, Dobby.

Fortunately, he never got to complete what he was trying to say, and I suspect that if he HAD been able to complete the incantation of what we can only assume was meant to be ‘Avada Kedavra’, it would have had disastrous consequences.

But why was Lucius Malfoy uttering Killing Curses outside of the Headmasters office in the halls of Hogwarts? What was going through his head? And more importantly- who was he trying to kill? Conventional wisdom would suggest that Lucius raised his wand to assassinate Harry, the insolent boy who had just lost him his house elf companion. 

But I’m not sure it was quite that simple.

Today we’re going to be discussing all of that (and more) as we unpack Lucius Malfoy’s interaction with Harry & Dobby in the Chamber of Secrets.

Was Lucius Really Going to KILL Harry in the Chamber of Secrets? - Harry Potter Theory

"I thought he would come," said Voldemort in his high, clear voice, his eyes on the leaping flames. "I expected him to come."

These were the words ushered from Voldemort’s mouth just moments before Harry Potter met his apparent demise. In this moment, Harry had made the choice to sacrifice himself in order to protect his friends- exchanging his own life for the safety of every other witch and wizard who bravely fought against Voldemort’s forces.

And for a little while, it looked as though this may have been the end for Harry. Unlike his previous confrontations with Voldemort– like his meeting with a fragmented Voldemort attached to Professor Quirrell, or their duel in the graveyard of Little Hangleton – this time Harry had come forward without any intentions to fight back. He came to die.

Of course we later find out that Harry, who stared death right in the face, eventually survives. But what I want to discuss today is HOW he survives.

If we go by Harry Potter canon, there are several explanations that shed light on how Harry manages to survive, and we owe our gratitude to Dumbledore for providing us with answers to these sorts of questions. 

But what I want to suggest today…Is that Dumbledore LIED. Join me in today’s video as we discuss WHY Dumbledore lied and explore the REAL WAY that Harry was able to return to the land of the living.

Let’s dive in.

Dumbledore LIED: The REAL Reason Harry Survived Voldemort’s Avada Kedavra Revealed (THEORY)

The introduction of the International Statute of Secrecy in 1692 marked a pivotal moment in Wizarding history. It put a stop to the witch hunts and unjust persecution of witches and wizards.

It ushered in an era of harmonious co-existence.

And most importantly, it separated the two worlds: muggle and magical.

But what IF there was a darker element to the statute that has never been properly explored?- an element that concerned the muggles beyond the primary separation of the two worlds? What if the statute, and the subsequent formation of the Ministry of Magic- marked the dawn of an era wherein wizardkind stealthily wielded control over the non-magical world, deftly manipulating it from the concealed depths of the shadows?
