Nov 10, 2023•11 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing Ron Weasley and all of the problems associated with his wand. A wizard’s wand is his most important tool. It’s the conduit of his power, and for most, the only way they'll ever be able to conjure spells. So, if wands were so important, why did the Weasley family decide to give Ron a hand-me-down wand that never really served him well? In fact, Ron’s earliest wand was so bad, that many of his instructors at Hogwarts could never shake their fi...

Oct 28, 2023•11 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re diving in to a theory addressing the REAL reasoning for Snape’s motivation to create his signature dark curse: Sectumsempra.

Oct 26, 2023•12 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re diving in to the very WEIRD world of Harry Potter knock-off novels. Now, given the worldwide popularity of the Harry Potter franchise it shouldn’t be surprising that it’d spark a couple of knock-offs. Some of these novels continue the story and blatantly reuse Rowling’s characters, while others create their own ‘original’ characters that seem..A little too familiar. But one thing is consistent- they’re all hilariously bad. As are the naming conventions...
Oct 25, 2023•14 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be ranking MY favourite Harry Potter movies from BEST to WORST.

However, In the process of adapting the complex and intricate world of...
Oct 23, 2023•15 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be discussing a rather compelling theory pertaining to the Defence Against the Dark Arts posting at Hogwarts school. I first saw this theory on Reddit, so shout out to ‘Wordhammer’ on the HP subreddit for the inspiration. Defence Against the Dark Arts is a CORE subject taught at Hogwarts that (purportedly) teaches students how to defend themselves against dark magic, creatures and curses- though I’m not sure this subject has been particularly ...
Oct 20, 2023•16 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing MAGIC and whether or not this powerful force of nature can ever be STRIPPED away from those who wield it. In the world of Harry Potter where magic is omnipresent and omnipotent, I can’t help but wonder whether the extraordinary abilities possessed by witches and wizards can ever be lost.

Oct 18, 2023•13 min•Transcript available on Metacast In the Harry Potter world rich with Magic, one of the most captivating aspects is the existence of the ‘Deathly Hallows’ fabled magical artifacts that go back many centuries.

And according to wizarding folklore, anyone who possesses all three Hallows attains the esteemed title of a 'Master of Death.' Today, we’ll be diving deep in to the ‘Tale of the T...
Oct 17, 2023•11 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Veritaserum- an incredibly powerful (and I feel, underutilized) potion that forces individuals to reveal the truth. "It is Veritaserum — a Truth Potion so powerful that three drops would have you spilling your innermost secrets for this entire class to hear. Now, the use of this potion is controlled by very strict Ministry guidelines. But unless you watch your step, you might just find that my hand slips — right over your evening pumpkin jui...
