Harry Potter Theory

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.

If magic can mend bones overnight, clean houses instantly, and teleport people across the country…Then why are some wizards still poor, hungry, unemployed, and struggling?

Why can’t this spectacular (and regenerative) phenomenon with SO FEW limitations solve such basic everyday problems?

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 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?

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.
