When navigating the Wizarding World through the perspective of a Muggle, there are a lot of things that might raise a few eyebrows.

Some in a morally dubious sense�and others simply because of how unbelievably astonishing they are.

But in my view, there is perhaps nothing more sinister or baffling than the notion of a love potion (and that's quite a statement given what's out there)

Think about it: it's a potion that you give to someone... and it makes them fall INVOLUNTARILY in love with you.

For just a second- consider the power you could have over someone with this- one sip from a potion and they're infatuated with you. And all of this only feels even more bizarre when you consider the fact that we're CONSTANTLY reminded of how POWERFUL the force of love truly is in the Wizarding World.

Yet... somehow, love can be bottled and sold? Like a trinket on a shop shelf in Diagon Alley.

Today we're going to be taking a closer look at LOVE potions in Harry Potter. HOW they're allowed to exist, HOW they work, and even a few theories on Why I think they might not be QUITE what we think they are- ONE of which involves the Weasley twins.

Let's dive in.

James Potter Used a Love Potion on Lily - DARK Harry Potter Theory 13:36

3 days ago13:36

13:36

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. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

Is JK ROWLING Really SUING HBO Over the NEW Harry Potter Series? 8:12

7 days ago8:12

Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Today I’ve got a bunch of news stories that I want to cover which are centered around the upcoming HBO show. I know there’s been a lot of news-style videos lately, but I’ll aim to space these out more going forward — I don’t want to stray too far from the core focus of this channel: the lore. Let me know if you think this is the right call. Anyway, it’s no secret that the upcoming series has sparked a lot of conversation — not just about casting or storylines, but also about J.K. Rowling’s involvement. Today, we’re going to take a closer look at what Rowling’s role actually is in the new series (including addressing some rumors around her allegedly SUING HBO), how HBO and Warner Bros. are handling the production, and what this all means for the future of the Wizarding World. We’ll also be taking a look at some exciting updates on the show’s production. Starting with...

Why Didn't Anyone KILL Voldemort BEFORE He Rebuilt His Body? - Harry Potter Theory 14:19

10 days ago14:19

14:19

Voldemort was considered the most dangerous Dark wizard of all time, and for a while he was feared by the entire wizarding world- even by those who followed him. But after his initial downfall at the hands of baby Harry, he was little more than a shadow—weak, powerless, and holding onto life by a thread (well, seven threads). But eventually, after a brief stint in the forests of Albania..He does come back. He regains his strength, rebuilds his body through dark and ancient magic, regains his followers and..Eventually reclaims his place as the Dark Lord. So… My question is: why didn’t anyone finish the job the first time around? Why didn’t Dumbledore, the Ministry of Magic, or anyone else track down what was left of Voldemort and destroy him before he had the chance to return? Could the Second Wizarding War have been avoided altogether? Let’s take a look.

The Dark Life of Bellatrix Lestrange (1951–1998) – Harry Potter History 26:03

16 days ago26:03

26:03

The name ‘Bellatrix Lestrange’ would send shivers down the spines of even the bravest of witches and wizards. And this reputation was well-deserved, as her terrifying perspectives and bloodthirsty nature propelled her to commit numerous unthinkable acts over the 46 years that she terrorized the greater Wizarding community. Widely considered to be one of the most powerful and dangerous witches of her time, Bellatrix is perhaps best known as Voldemort’s ‘right-hand’ woman, occupying a high-up role in the Death Eater hierarchy. But beyond all of this, there was actually a lot more to Bellatrix than some realize. Today we’re going to be diving into her history, peeling back the layers of her character and uncovering what may have motivated her to become the woman that she did.

Is Voldemort Actually a BAD Character? (My Reaction) 9:39

23 days ago9:39

9:39

I recently came across a clip on YouTube where author Brandon Sanderson and his podcast guest Dan Well were discussing Voldemort’s character. Aaand things got pretty controversial pretty quickly, as shortly after posing the question, “Is he a good character?”—they both came to the same conclusion: he wasn’t. Naturally my first inclination was to feel ANGER because HOW DARE THEY insult the main antagonist from the series that I love. But then I began to wonder….Is he a good character? Or do I just like him because I like the Harry Potter story as a whole? Is he compelling in his own right? Is he actually interesting? And..Can a book even be good if a CORE character is bad? All of this got me really thinking about what makes a good character. Is it depth? Motivation? Backstory? Complexity? Yes, he’s powerful. Yes, he’s terrifying. But is he relatable? Does he evolve? So today, I want to dig deeper into whether or not Voldemort is actually a well-written character, or if he’s just been heavily propped up by the strength of the narrative around him.

Is Jordan Peterson WRONG about Harry Potter? 15:02

26 days ago15:02

15:02

Given that I have a Harry Potter YouTube channel, you might not be too surprised to hear that most of my recommended content on YouTube is..*SHOCKER* Harry Potter related. But every so often, I see something in the same realm, but just a little bit different..which in this case was a video of Jordan Peterson analyzing the series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYedNVMB2YQ 0:50-1:20 Now, it’s not often that mainstream figures discuss Harry Potter. It’s 2025 and nearly 3 decades have passed since the first book came out. So naturally, I was curious- and I decided to see what he was talking about. But what exactly is the connection between Jordan Peterson and the Wizarding World? And why does he seem to think it’s so important? Is it possible that he’s just bending the Harry Potter story to his philosophical will? Or are there elements to the story that perhaps many of us have never considered. Today I’m going to be breaking it down, clip by clip, and seeing if I can make some sense of it all. Don’t worry, none of this is political- we’re strictly staying on the topic of Harry Potter.

10 DELETED Harry Potter Plotlines That Change EVERYTHING 9:30

5 weeks ago9:30

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Ghost Plots. You might not be too surprised to hear that Rowling, who wrote the 7 Harry Potter books in a 10 year timespan, generated a fair bit of information (storylines, plots, characters) that simply never made it in to the final versions of the beloved books. And in time, these secondary pieces of information have come to be known as ‘Ghost Plots’.

These Harry Potter Myths Were NEVER Canon — You’ve Been Lied To 18:25

5 weeks ago18:25

18:25

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be taking a look at aspects of the Harry Potter universe that everyone seems to remember…The wrong way. And partly to blame for all of this is the fact that the Harry Potter books were adapted to film. The short answer for WHY all of this happened is that in transforming the beloved book series into movies, a lot of liberties were taken. Characters personalities were changed Scenes that NEVER occurred were added Character roles were switched And in many cases, aspects of the books were outright omitted But now that so many years have passed, a lot of these movie misconceptions have become so ingrained that they've completely overwritten how we remember the original Harry Potter books. How you perceive this video will depend entirely on how you engaged with the series. For some, the films were too frustrating to finish — filled with inaccuracies that clashed with the books- and by going down this path their memory of the books (and more importantly, accurate information) remained intact. But for many others, the books and movies have blended together into one seamless version of the story. Harry Potter as a whole became an amalgamation of both book and film — with the lines between them increasingly blurred. And in many instances these changes became so pervasive that they overwrote how nearly everyone remembered the source material. After you’ve watched the video, let me know how many of these things YOU remembered the wrong way. Be honest.

Gryffindor is the Most TOXIC Hogwarts House (Here's Why) 12:26

When we’re first exposed to the Harry Potter story, Gryffindor are introduced as the ‘good’ guys. They can’t do any wrong, can they? Slytherin Bad. Gryffindor good. But, it’s not really that simple, is it? Because when you actually look past the golden glow of Gryffindor House — past the roaring lion mascot, the impressive Quidditch performances, and the constant rule-breaking that somehow always gets rewarded 100 house points at the end of the year — what you start to see is a culture that’s not exactly representative of moral superiority or emotional maturity.

Can Another Wizard Become as POWERFUL as Dumbledore? - Harry Potter Theory 14:12

Albus Dumbledore is widely regarded as the most powerful wizard of his time. Some may say Voldemort, or even Grindelwald, but in my opinion- Dumbledore had something special that the others didn't. He was truly one of a kind. Or...Was he? My question today is: was Dumbledore as special as we make him out to be? Does he deserve to be pedestalized to the extent that he is? Or is it possible that someone else could reach- or even surpass- his level of power? Surely SOMEONE has the potential to match him, right? And if so..Who?
