Okay, I have a theory. The Cursed Child was written by Rita Skeeter.

[_jompbup_]

Harry still is in love with Ginny while hes hunting horcruxes, he very often checks the marauders map to see shes ok. I dont see how Ginny could give him love potion when hes hiding in some forest.

[dbzfan]

About the chocolate frog cards being spies: Remember in Half-Blood when Fudge tried to remove Albus’ Order of Merlin award? Dumbledore was only concerned about remaining on the collectible cards. May have just been a passing joke, but this theory now makes more sense with that in mind.

[whitebread]

I think the Ginny giving Harry a love potion theory is more believable if you’ve only seen the movies, since their romance really does come out of nowhere in the Half Blood Prince movie so I think the theory was created by someone who didn’t read the books lol

[Lupinemancer]

We saw Crookshanks go after Scabbers while the trio was in Diagon Alley, long before Sirius would have been able to talk to him, so that suggests that he knew Scabbers were not a good person beforehand. That, he or just found it odd that the guy was posing as a rat.

[quedotelancine]

I think those who have only seen the movies would believe Ginny needed a love potion. Because let’s be honest, that version of Ginny would need a love potion lol.

[IcedCube]

In the order of the phoenix dumbledore said that he doesn’t care what they do as long as they don’t take him off the chocolate frog cards

[rasmusjunge]

People really want something toxic in Harry and Ginny’s relationship don’t they?💀

[Ismail-kvex]

16:40
Yes, the very first time Crookshanks shows up is using Ron's head as a landing pad in order to chase Scabbers back at the Magical Menagerie. He was onto Peter far before meeting Sirius sometime at Hogwarts, or should I say re-uniting with him (Sirius not remembering a cat after 12 years in Azkaban).

[IkeFanBoy]

Wonka being in the Wizarding World is one of the greatest things I've ever heard

[Sharkey]

I've always been partial to the theory that Molly or one of the other Weasley's noticing Harry and recognized him as a possible muggleborn (the owl being a dead giveaway) and helping him without being obvious about it

[mariaana]

The chocolate frog card one is new to me! Even now I get surprises with this fandom.

[NewNotNewbMargieA]

Another thing which debunks the theory that the Dursleys treated Harry so horribly is because he's a horcrux is even before he came to live with them, Petunia pretended she didn't have a sister, and glared daggers at Vernon when he mentioned Lilly and Harry (book readers only would know about this).

[funnyhappystudios]

10:36 I prefer the theory that *Herpo is actually Salazar’s ancestor, and was the one who created Parsultongue* He is said to be one of the earliest recorded Parsulmouths in history, but what if he had created the language via using his Basilisk as his Horcrux? It would explain why the language is hereditary.

[dawn_amber]

Let’s say this, Rita Skeeter wrote the theory that Ginny used a love potion

[rosyellis]

the professors DEFINITELY bet on quidditch
they might not have intervened but they DEFINITELY at least bet like...chocolate frogs or something

[grahamdamberger]

I think Fred and George reading about Willy Wonka would have inspired them to make their own joke candy following a similar formula to Wonka's.
Voldemort, Snape, and Harry could most certainly be reincarnations of the Peverell brothers.

[brandonhelcher]

The Ron seer thing. Wouldn't mind that being true. It'd be funny that Ron wants to stand out, have something unique, and his genuinely rare talent is ultimately unnoticed.

[paulyb]

*Another hot take:* Mr and Mrs Evans loved and preferred James Potter (who they found amusing and charming) a lot more than they did Vernon Dursley, and this only exacerbated Petunia's resentment and jealousy of her sister Lily even more. What are your thoughts on that?

[XXX_Carnage_XXX]

I actually had the theory in my mind about Mrs.Norris but for me I always thought that she was an actual witch who tried to become an animagus but somewhere down the line she messed up and the ritual back fired causing her to be a cat permanently. Maybe Filch was a close friend/lover ( maybe she was the only person who was kind to him) who knew about it and took her in hence why he is so protective over her
