The Secret Truth You Never Knew About Harry Potter’s Parents

What J.K Rowling Doesn’t Want You To Know About Harry Potter’s Parents

J.K. Rowling created a whole heap of intrigue with Harry Potter’s parents, James Potter and Lily Potter. We got glimpses of them in flashbacks, like “Snape’s worst memory”, and in short scenes when they interact with Harry from the other side of the veil. But we don’t really get to know much about these important characters at all. Fortunately, the author has revealed little-known facts about the Potters over the years, and these secret truths are shocking. Discover all about their own families, like why James was so rich but yet his family didn’t make it into the “Sacred Twenty-Eight”. We’re also spilling the tea on why Petunia Dursley was so unimpressed with Lily’s magical ability, what happened to Petunia and Lily’s parents, and why the two lovebirds got married and started a family so young.

We’re also delving into Lily’s friendship with Severus Snape, and how it could have been something more. Plus get the lowdown on a fascinating fan theory about the crucial role Sirius Black and Remus Lupin played in turning James from the “arrogant, bullying toerag” Lily described him as to the man she decided to marry. With tales of unrequited love, honor and deceit, the story of Lily and James really needs to be made into an official “Harry Potter” prequel — c’mon J.K. Rowling, give us Potterheads what we want.

Even after a decade of Harry Potter
People are still uploading theories, questions, and other videos about it
Best franchise ever

Ron: “Harry, you never told me your father was a Seeker too!”

Harry: “That’s because he was a Chaser in the books, Ron.”

I will never accept the fact that harry potter is over.

Did James always make his hair messy looking not because he wanted to appear to have just gotten off a broom but instead as an act of rebellion against his family’s hair care product business? Now that’s a theory lol

[gloriaplatt]

I think JK should write a 7 book prequel of James' time at Hogwarts, and then a 7 book sequel of Harry's children in Hogwarts, you know? Pull a star wars on us.

i wish they didnt die. Poor harry would do good if they were with him.

I think the phrase 'your eyes are the window to your soul' inspired J.K when she wrote Harry. Although Harry looks like his Father, he inherited his Mother's traits of compassion and kindness; boy c/wouldn't even use the killing curse on Voldemort of all people.

Harry Potter Franchise is the Best Fantasy Adventure Franchise in the World

The Dursleys gave Harry a toothpick, a coin and a tissue for Christmas.
The toothpick is the elder wand.
The coin is the resurrection stone
The tissue is the invisibility cloak.

Harry: Oh No! This is awful! My dad has a hole in his cloak! This is the end of the world! I'm sad!😫😫😫😫😫😫😫

I never realized how much lily resembles JK Rowling

[madisonl]

Fun/sad fact: after Harry turned 21 nobody ever told him he looked like James because no one ever saw him after 21.

[iridaart]

Snape: You filthy little mudblood!
Draco: You filthy little mudblood!

[rayg]

James and Lilly were both 21 when they were murdered, but the actors who portrayed them were 43 and 34 and looked it.

[darlng]

What if james never changed?
What is snape didn't call lily a mudblood?
What if lily fell inlove with snape ?
What if *snape was harry father* ?

HOLY CRIKETS *HARRY SEVERUS AND THE SORCERER'S STONE*
