Voldemort’s conception was..Unusual to say the least, and it was the loveless union between his parents that set in motion his path of psychopathy. With a mother that chose death over her infant child, and a father that abandoned the both of them, it’s fair to say that Voldemort never stood much of a chance. But what if Voldemort’s origin story isn’t exactly what we thought it was? What if Merope Gaunt, accused of giving Voldemort’s father Tom Riddle Sr a love potion..Never did anything of the s...

The first encounter between Albus Dumbledore and Tom Riddle was in 1938, when Dumbledore visits Wool’s Orphanage to offer Tom a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. During their meeting, Dumbledore informs Tom about the existence of the wizarding world and his magical heritage, and Tom, who had already sensed his own powers, is intrigued by the prospect of attending Hogwarts. At the time, Tom was an 11-year-old orphan who had exhibited signs of mag...

May 07, 2024•22 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Wizarding conflicts. In the wizarding world of Britain, the threat of Lord Voldemort and his followers, the Death Eaters, cast a dark, ominous shadow over the entire magical population- a shadow that persisted for a long long time. Voldemort's reign of terror brought unprecedented tyranny to the wizarding world. Under his leadership, the Death Eaters mercilessly targeted and persecuted those who opposed them, instilling fear throughout the W...

Deep within the heart of the Ministry of Magic lies a chilling enigma that has confounded wizards and witches for centuries – the Veil - a haunting manifestation nestled within the Death Chamber of the Department of Mysteries.

And how doe...
May 02, 2024•12 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be exploring a what-if scenario where Neville Longbottom, NOT Harry Potter, was the chosen one. Would Voldemort still have been defeated? Would Neville’s parents have been killed like Harry’s? What role would HARRY play in a world where he was no longer quite so special? How would other characters like Snape, Dumbledore, and the Order of the Phoenix respond to Neville as the chosen one? How would Neville's leadership style and decision-making ...

In a Wizarding World full of magic, Horcruxes are without a doubt one of the darkest forms of this magic. These cursed objects, created through an unnamed and forbidden process, are known for their ability to fragment the soul, preserving it beyond death, and granting the creator an impenetrable shield of immortality. However, the creation of these sinister objects comes at an unthinkable cost, leading us to wonder what dark ma...

Apr 26, 2024•2 hr 14 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. When Muggleborn students are sent off to Hogwarts school, how do you think their parents explain their absence to the rest of the Muggle world? What do their parents tell the government?

Apr 24, 2024•10 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be taking a look at five Draco Malfoy theories that have recently caught my eye. To start, I’d like to acknowledge that there are loads of debates out there between fans as to whether Malfoy was a redeemable character or not. There seems to be two very distinct camps – one that believes Draco was a snake at the beginning of the series, and an even bigger snake at the end; and another that believes he was simply brought up in an environment of hate but...

Apr 19, 2024•10 min•Transcript available on Metacast Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. We know that in November of 1945, Dumbledore achieved the impossible by defeating the notorious (and Elder Wand wielding) dark wizard at large- Gellert Grindelwald. For decades, Grindelwald had been building his following and spreading his poisonous ideologies, disrupting the Wizarding World in a way unlike any other wizard before. His goal was simple: to establish a new world order where wizards would reign supreme over Muggle...

Apr 09, 2024•13 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we're delving into the realm of DELETED characters- figures that were mentioned by Rowling but never made an appearance in any officially released material- whether it be books or films. While we have been enthralled by the likes of Harry, Hermione, and Ron, there exists a treasure trove of characters lying dormant in the scribblings, unpublished drafts and words spoken by J.K. Rowling during interviews. Some were scrapped in the editing process, others los...

Apr 04, 2024•11 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today I’ve got a theory for you which exposes Dumbledore’s TRUE motivations for the school’s Defence Against the Dark Arts posting. Severus Snape became the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor during Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts. And in theory, he was perfect for the position. He had a profound understanding of both sides of the magical spectrum, and knew more about the dark arts than most- making him the perfect candidate to teach students all about it. So....

Now, within the wizarding world magic can be leveraged for a wide variety of func...
Mar 21, 2024•9 min•Transcript available on Metacast Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to discuss how Voldemort went about killing Severus Snape. Snape’s death is a BIG topic in the Harry Potter story, and when he died it was a truly tragic moment in the series. That is unless of course you don’t like Snape. As you progress through the books and films, your perception of Snape is constantly challenged- is he good? Bad? What are his intentions? And in the end, it turned out that Snape was almost ...
Mar 18, 2024•8 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be discussing why Lord Voldemort didn’t attack the Longbottom family after the prophecy, which inevitably upended the life of Harry Potter. As many of you will know, the trajectory of Harry’s life was determined before he was even born. For, just weeks before his birth on July 31 in the year of 1980, a somewhat inadequate soothsayer named Sybill Patricia Trelawney provided the wizarding world with a prediction that would forever change the course of h...
