7 Harry Potter Theories EVERY FAN AGREES ON (Part 2)

Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. In my last video I discussed 7 Harry Potter theories that are so inconsequential and likewise plausible that they are hard to deny. Theories with such little evidence against them that, for the most part, we can all agree they likely have a basis in reality.

In my last video, it seemed like many of you agreed with my picks, so today we're diving into 7 more of these theories..Pushing the envelope a little further. Let me know down in the comment section what you think.

Let’s dive in.

One of the biggest pieces of evidence for “Dumbledore repaired Hagrid’s Wand” theory for me, is that Olivander himself questioned Hagrid about his wand and looked suspiciously at his umbrella.

[JuicefTheBarley]

When you read the book aware of the Ron is a seer theory, it stops looking like a fan theory and starts looking like foreshadowing.

[gregoryrodgers]

On the Ron the seer theory, he suggests Tom got the award (for special services to the school) for killing Myrtle. And it was indeed killing Myrtle that led to him getting the award, even if not quite so directly.

I don’t buy the "Luna is a malidictus" theory, it’s to vague. The rest are plausible somewhat. Great video! Thanks

[theafaith]

Fascinating! You're spot on about Ron. In DH he sensed that using Voldemort's name was some kind of jinx, and it was.

[larryroberts]

I can see the thought behind the Luna being a maledictus. But I just don't buy into it. She'd have already have started going through it during her school years. With the names of her sons with Rolf, it's kind of reaching at best.

[Awec]

The Snape theory adds a new low to his character as it proves that he hasn't learned or grown since he asked Voldemort to spare only Lily - he would have been happy if Neville's parents had died instead.
To be honest though, Snape could have just hated Neville's incompetence in Potions, and the humiliation from Neville's boggart

[BjornV]

My thoughts on these:
1) Possible and highly likely: It is in-character for both Dumbledore and Hagrid and Hagrids magic, flawed as it was, was always more inline of someone inexperienced than something trying magic with a broken wand. We know what that looks like with a wand that was less damaged than Hagrids wand would have been. No, Hagrids wand was definitely fixed and Dumbledore was the only one with a wand that could repair a broken wand.
2) Possible and highly likely: the item is too specific to be anything but custom made and the family doesn't seem to have money to have something like built by someone else. Though I'm not entirely sure if a clock would also count as "muggle technology" that shouldn't be enhanced by magic. Clocks are rather practical and we know watches exist without an immediate magical alternative.
3) There are no hints for this, I'm not buying it.
4) Possible, though I do prefer the Ravenclaw theory, in the broader "Every founder had a secret chamber in the castle (Gryffindor's room was the headmaster's office and the Hufflepuff's room is the kitchen)
5) Possible and highly likely, there is just a lot of foreshadowing in the novels coming from Ron, so him being a passive Seer would explain a lot.
6) Possible, though I don't think it is intentional. I think there are whistleblowers feeding Xenophilus information in a way that sounds plausible to Xenophilus and ridiculous to the rest of the country, unless you see through the nonsense filter that is put on them. Fudge executing goblins = Fudge having prejudices towards Goblins and in fact might try to take over Gringotts (something that the Death Eaters would eventually implement). Crumple-Horned Snorkack = some undiscovered magical cryptid (Luna would later on discover undiscovered animals.
7) Possible and highly likely: it is in-character for Snape and would explain a lot.

[rev]

Small correction, Dumbledore was not yet in posession of the Elder Wand when Hagrid's wand was snapped. The Chamber of Secrets was opened in the 1942/43 school year, and Dumbledore only won the Elder Wand from Grindlewald in 1945.
Sure, he could still have fixed it a few years after it was broken, but you make it sound like he already had the Elder wand at that very moment.

[bighammer]

I think the room of requirement is the heart of hogwarts. Its like the room came first as an ultimate "we need magic place with everyrhing we need" spell, but it also built the castle around it as well as a place to safeguard all its acquired trinkets and knowledge.

[privatename]

How about the theory that Snape would have been an entirely new level of creepy if Harry had been a girl, who resembled his (her) mother.

[ThomasLiden-cq]

I LOVE the pictures you used. They are filled with tinier pictures of people doing things. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! All your theories are very plausible.

[bstybyz]

I know I said it a while back but, I think it's a Weasley Family Tradition to begin Hogwarts with a second-hand wand, not something borne of circumstance. Bill might have had Arthur's, Percy had Molly's, the Twins had Fabian and Gideon's, we know Ron got Charlie's (which may have been a Prewitt wand before Charlie), and I assume Ginny had Muriel's. Of course they don't use it for all 7 years but, it may be the initial three years to build a finer control of their magic. Take Neville for example; We know he had his Father's Wand and it didn't really work for him, yet he was still middle of the pack grade-wise. In less than a year with his own proper wand and he's a powerhouse. Maybe it's not even a Weasley thing but an old pureblood tradition and the reason for it was slowly forgotten over time?

[Jordan_C_Wilde]

Neville: *breathes*
Snape: "And i took that personally!"

[RaynmanPlays]

>"It seems like a lot of you agreed with my picks."
>80% of the comments in the last video are about how the theory about Molly Weasley was completely pointless, made no sense, and made that interaction worse
>Half the comments on this video are about how the Luna theory is stupid

[lauramiller]

I like most of the theories mentioned in both videos especially the one about Neville. The only one I don't like is Luna, mostly because I can't stand the thought of her being a maledictus. She's so sweet and a necessary good for the wizarding world that I can't bear to think her humanity would be cut short. I also have issue with Voldemort's Nagini being the woman from the Fantastic Beast movies. I will never stop loving Neville whacking that snake's head off so well that it spins high into the air. I prefer to think that Tom Riddle heard of the original Nagini and just named his snake after her. It seems he didn't acquire her until he returned in GoF, so, too coinicidental to be the original. Just my thoughts.

[Magikarp-ever]

I think the Luna one is absurd her mother died attempting to create or modify a spell, which is several times commented upon as being extraordinarily dangerous

[nssportstv]

A more plausible theory about Luna Lovegood is that she has autism

[fifaisscripted]

No, in HBP Molly says, that the clock is showing everyone to be in life threatening danger and she suspects that it has to do with Voldemorts return and the ministry officially confirming this. She says she would check with others, but doesn't know anyone else with such a clock. This indicates, that while being rare, it's a purchasable item.

Didn't Harry use the elder wand to Repair his wand So it's not A Large Step To repair Hagges wand
