Show notes

Dumbledore BEAT Grindelwald in their epic duel in 1945..So that means he HAS TO BE more powerful..Right? Well, not exactly.

Today we’re going to be taking a closer at a debate as old as time: Who is more powerful? Albus Dumbledore or Gellert Grindelwald? The answer might surprise you.

Did Harry Potter Really Have No Other Relatives? (The DARK Truth) Apr 25, 2026

Show notes

In the recent HBO Harry Potter trailer we got to see something we’ve never seen before- our first glimpse at Harry’s grandparents on his mother’s side. They appear standing alongside Vernon & Petunia Dursley in their wedding photo, with (presumably) Vernon’s parents on one side, and Petunia’s parents (aka, LILY’s parents) on the other.

And with this new bit of info, it got me thinking- what DID happen to the rest of Harry’s family? Cousins, uncles, aunts, nephews, second-cousins..What happened to them all? Were they casualties of war? And why did Harry HAVE to live with the Dursleys? Did he really not have one other blood relative? Not even..ONE?

Let’s dive into it.

All 50 MAJOR Events You Missed After The Deathly Hallows (Part 2) - Harry Potter EXPLAINED Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.

Today we’re going to discuss 50 MORE events after the Harry Potter story came to an end..If you haven’t seen part 1 already, go and watch that after! Link in the pinned comment and description.

Like I mentioned in my first video, each section covers multiple points which amounts to around 50 bits of info altogether. And as with the first video, these details come from canon sources like the epilogue, interviews, and extended Pottermore writings from J.K. Rowling.

And if you’re more curious about what happened to specific individual characters after the war, then be sure to check out my other video: What Happened to These 100 Characters After the War.

Anyway, let’s dive into it.

Hermione Granger's Life AFTER the Deathly Hallows: FULL Timeline (1998-2026) Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

After the Battle of Hogwarts, the wizarding world was finally able to celebrate the defeat of Lord Voldemort and the end of the Second Wizarding War- ushering in a new era of peace.

For the first time in years, witches and wizards were no longer living under open tyranny, and the institutions that had been corrupted by Voldemort’s regime could finally begin to recover. Hogwarts needed to be rebuilt, the Ministry needed to be reformed, and countless lives needed to be pieced back together.

But while Voldemort’s defeat effectively marked the end of the series, it also created a large gap in the story.

After the books and films ended, we’re really only given scattered pieces of information about what happened next. A painfully short epilogue shows us one moment nineteen years later, but outside of that, we sort of had to piece together what happened on our own through interviews and extended publications.

Which is why today I’m going to be doing just that- finally piecing that information together and taking a closer (and more importantly, comprehensive) look at what Hermione’s life looked like after the Deathly Hallows.

I don’t want to spoil anything in the intro, so let’s just dive in.

50 MAJOR Events You Missed After The Deathly Hallows (Explained in Detail) Apr 17, 2026

Show notes

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.

Today we’re going to be taking a look at everything that happened after the main Harry Potter story came to an end. After the Deathly Hallows, once Voldemort was defeated and the Battle of Hogwarts was over.

Although this video is organized into larger sections, many of those sections actually contain multiple developments, so while we’ll be moving through this in a structured way, we’re really covering around 50 major post-war events in total. This is also just part 1 of a 2 part series as it was a bit much to cover it all at once.

Most of these come directly from canon epilogues, interviews and extended Pottermore publications from Rowling.

And if you’re more curious about what happened to specific individual characters after the war, then be sure to check out my other video: What Happened to These 100 Characters After the War. That one focuses much more on individual fates, whereas today we’re looking at the bigger picture of the wizarding world as a whole.

Anway, let’s dive into it.

Will the Harry Potter Reboot Use the 'Proper" Voldemort? (Unused Original Design) Apr 15, 2026

Show notes

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter theory. Now, if you've been anywhere near the internet lately you already know that a brand new Harry Potter series is coming to HBO. It's set to premiere Christmas 2026, with each of the seven books getting its own season. If you somehow missed all of this, quite frankly I’m amazed.

The hype is still building and the teaser trailer alone has amassed a whopping 10 million views so far.

But there's one thing I want to explore above everything else, and that’s whether or not we’ll get the proper Voldemort. The teaser showed us quite a bit of the series, and with a Dec release date it’s obviously fully underway, but one character we still know nothing about is Voldemort.

The Most TERRIFYING Fate in Harry Potter (It’s Not Death) Apr 14, 2026

Show notes

The soul. You can split it, you can curse it, you can even anchor it to the living world through dark and forbidden magic. The soul, in the wizarding world, is more than just a metaphysical concept; it is a tangible, manipulable force that reflects the very essence of a person's being.

But what happens it when someone moves on to the next plane of existence?

Does Casting Black Snape ACTUALLY Change the Story? (Let’s Break It Down) Apr 12, 2026

Show notes

It’s been a couple of weeks now since the official release of the first teaser trailer for HBO’s Harry Potter reboot and that means we’ve finally gotten a glimpse at what the show has to offer. No more speculation, it’s all there in plain sight (at least, a lot of it). If I’m honest I have to say that while the show will never (at least for me) match up to the original films, I was pleasantly surprised by a lot of what we saw. I have been cautiously optimistic throughout this entire process, and I think that the trailer (on the whole) made me feel a bit better about things.

But one thing the internet cannot seem to reconcile is the new Snape casting. After the trailer dropped I did a number of videos breaking it down and pointing out small details, and the one comment I kept getting above ALL OTHERS was that I failed to mention black Snape- with a few even accusing me of strategically avoiding it.

I didn’t bring it up because it’s obvious. I’ve also already made a number of dedicated videos on this topic and in all honesty it’s starting to feel a bit like kicking a dead horse. I’ve maintained throughout the entirety of the HBO reboot hype that I don’t necessarily agree with the casting, but it’s also not enough to put me off the show entirely. That’s just how I feel. He’s a good actor, but in all truthfulness I don’t think he fits the book description one iota.

What Spells Do the “Good Guys” Use to Kill Death Eaters - Harry Potter Theory Apr 11, 2026

Show notes

Murder or KILLING splits the soul. This is reinforced time and time again.

But despite this fact, we see it happen again and again throughout the Harry Potter series, and not just by the bad guys.

It makes sense for Death Eaters to kill..It’s clear where their moral compass lies and I would presume that KILLING (and the subsequent impact on their soul) is the price they’re willing to pay to achieve their cause.

But this topic also raises a much bigger question.

Because if there are such serious consequences tied to taking a life…

How do the good guys do it?

Molly Weasley does it, Dumbledore does it, and even Neville Longbottom does it.

Today we’ll be diving into all of that and more as we discuss the implications of MURDER in the Wizarding World- specifically, in the context of the ‘good’ guys.
