    Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing how Vernon Dursley met Petunia Evans, and how the two of them eventually became Mr. and Mrs. Dursley—the widely disliked aunt and uncle of Harry Potter. As revealed by the memories of a dying Severus Snape, there was once a time when Petunia Evans and her younger sister, Lily, were actually quite close. In fact, it would seem that as a young girl Petunia had wished to become a witch just like Lily, and even went so far as to write to Headmaster Dumbledore to see if he could make an exception and allow her to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry despite the fact that she displayed no magical abilities. Unfortunately, it would seem that Dumbledore's refusal—although delivered kindly—ignited feelings of incredible resentment within Petunia, which is likely what spurned her on towards a life in which she hated magic to the point that she tried to pretend it didn't exist. Petunia was also openly resentful of the fact that her parents seemed delighted by the fact that her sister was a witch, which ultimately led to Petunia feeling such incredible dislike towards her sister, her family, and her home in Cokeworth, that she up and left in search of a much more ordinary life. It was around this time that Petunia met Vernon Dursley. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The dangers present along Knockturn Alley come from both the nefarious businesses that operate down the street, in addition to the questionable witches and wizards who frequent these establishments.

    Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the history of the magical beings known as Veela. Within the wizarding world of Harry Potter, we never learn all that much about the mysterious and exceptionally beautiful humanoid species called the Veela. In fact, much of what we do know about these magical beings revolves entirely around their physical appearance, with their description given in great detail several times over the course of the books and films, but specifically throughout The Goblet of Fire. This fourth instalment of the series is the first time Harry, alongside us Muggles, are introduced to the idea of the Veela. Here, before we even reach 100 pages of the novel, the Veela come prancing onto the page after being announced as the Bulgarian Quidditch team's mascots during the 1994 Quidditch World Cup. This is, of course, the chapter in which Harry attends the World Cup alongside the Weasleys and Hermione Granger. Now, up until that time, Harry was completely unfamiliar with the Veela and seems to be rather confused when Arthur Weasley announces that they are the Bulgarian team's mascots. However, before he could ask Mr. Weasley what they were exactly, a group of these magical beings took to the pitch. This, as you may remember, effectively answered Harry's question, as described in the following excerpt from the novel: Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    The cornerstones of the Hogwarts house system, and perhaps the most iconic symbols associated with each house are the house MASCOTS. For Gryffindor, this mascot was a lion. For Slytherin, a serpent. For Hufflepuff, a badger. And for Ravenclaw, an eagle (or RAVEN in the films). But what do these creatures have to do with anything? What connection do they have to the founders? And how did these seemingly mundane creatures (at least, looking at it from the perspective of a MAGICAL world) get chosen as representatives for these houses? I've got nothing against lions, serpents, badgers or eagles- but in a world filled with things like DRAGONS, ACROMANTULAS, THESTRALS and NUNDUS- these creatures seem…less impressive. I'm going to start with WHY these creatures were chosen, and then move on to why MAGICAL creatures weren't chosen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    The Elder wand was the first hallow created, made by Death himself, and it was said to be the most powerful wand that ever existed. The Elder Wand is made of elder wood, and it's core is the tail hair of a Thestral. It's 15” long and has carvings down its length that resemble clusters of elderberries. With the elder wand, witches and wizards have historically been able to produce intensely powerful magic that others could only dream of. Some magic is actually altogether impossible without the Elder Wand- including things like mending other wands. We see this powerful artefact pass hands on numerous occasions throughout the Harry Potter story- and its ‘ownership' is of utmost importance to the plot. After all, it's the ownership of the Elder Wand that eventually allows Harry to defeat Voldemort- firing his own killing curse right back at him. But before Harry became it's owner in his final showdown with Voldemort at the end of the Deathly Hallows- who were the true owners? Conventionally it is believed that Dumbledore was the owner, followed by Draco who disarmed Dumbledore, followed by Harry who disarmed Draco. But one popular fan theory suggests that Dumbledore was never the true owner at all. So where does that leave us? The main driver behind the theory is HOW the wand actually changes ownership.

Today's video is part of a series, so if you have yet to watch Part 1 of 4 Things Magic CANNOT Do in Harry Potter, then be sure to check it out after you watch this video!  Throughout the Harry Potter series, we see magic do A LOT of things. It can kill people with a few choice words or phrases. It can transport individuals from one side of the country to the other. When brewed correctly, magical ingredients can create potions and elixirs that have the ability to force people to tell the truth or magically transform into the exact likeness of another person. And yet, there are several things—rather, there are several QUITE ODD things—that magic simply CANNOT do in the series. These instances range from curious to almost completely inexplicable—as in, “Really?! How in Merlin's Beard does that make any sense?!” And so, without further ado, let's get to it.

    Hey everyone. Welcome to another instalment of Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be taking a look at some of the most well known characters who show up in the Harry Potter series, but whose Hogwarts houses are never identified. For anyone who's read or watched the Harry Potter series, the four houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are common knowledge. Based on the four founding members of the school, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin, the houses reflect the strengths, qualities, and beliefs of these witches and wizards, with each of the four houses being named after their respective founder.  Those sorted into Gryffindor house value bravery and courage. Hufflepuff students believe in loyalty, patience and fair play. Ravenclaw witches and wizards, on the other hand, are committed to intellect and wisdom. And, lastly, Slytherin house welcomes students with immense ambition and cunning. From almost the immediate beginning of the series, fans are led to believe that these four houses play an immensely important role in the future and identity of the witches and wizards who attend school there.

For anyone who's read or watched the Harry Potter series, the four houses of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are common knowledge. Based on the four founding members of the school, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin, the houses reflect the strengths, qualities, and beliefs of these witches and wizards, with each of the four houses being named after their respective founder. Those sorted into Gryffindor house value bravery and courage. Hufflepuff students believe in loyalty, patience and fair play. Ravenclaw witches and wizards, on the other hand, are committed to intellect and wisdom. And, lastly, Slytherin house welcomes students with immense ambition and cunning.From almost the immediate beginning of the series, fans are led to believe that these four houses play an immensely important role in the future and identity of the witches and wizards who attend school there.

    Did the DADA Curse Lift after Voldemort's Death? - Harry Potter Explained

    Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing the curse that Voldemort placed on the Defence Against the Dark Arts position at Hogwarts and whether or not it lifted after the Dark Lord's death. Over the course of Harry Potter's time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, many things within the school remained steadfastly the same. The magic within the walls of the castle itself, the eerie ghosts that roamed the hallways, as well as the many familiar faces of the teaching staff. From Professor Minerva McGonagall, the constant Transfiguration teacher, to Professor Cuthbert Binns who continued to teach History of Magic even after he DIED, many of the men and women who worked at Hogwarts had been in their roles for many, many years. And yet, there was one staff position that wasn't so constant: the role of the Defence Against the Dark Arts—or DADA—Professor. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
