Harry Potter Theory

What if Muggles KNEW about magic? About witches, wizards, wands, spells and flying broomsticks. And what would they say if they knew that some of these magical folk could teleport across the country in seconds… erase memories with a flick of the wrist… and kill without leaving a trace? Today we’ll be answering a question that the foundation of the Wizarding World was built to avoid: What would happen if the muggles found out about magic? Let’s dive in to it.

Today we’ve got a bit of an interesting one. Earlier this year, I made two separate videos—one ranking the most powerful wizards, and the other ranking the most powerful witches. In those videos, I covered ten of each. And today, just over 10 months later, we’re going to pitting them against each other and taking a closer look at what the top 20 most powerful looks like..When both groups are ranked together. Before you watch, make sure to comment YOUR top 20 down below, then check back at the end to see how your list differed from mine. It took some editing trickery to mesh this all together, so forgive me if anything’s a little off. Anyway, let’s dive in to it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If we go strictly by canon, then the only elves that we’re ever made privy to in the Harry Potter universe are house-elves—beings bound to magical servitude, owned by wizarding families, and expected to obey without question. But in one of my previous videos—The History of House-Elves—I introduced the idea that house-elves are likely not a natural, original species at all, but rather the end result of something that happened to elves long ago. I think that there was a time when elves were not bound to masters… A time when they existed independently, outside of wizarding households. And while the books never confirm this outright, the broader context of the Wizarding World makes the idea surprisingly reasonable. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This video is one part of a multi-part series. We left part 1 at the conclusion of the battle of the astronomy tower. Except, in this version of events... things went very differently. Dumbledore, alive and well, survived the battle because he never succumbed to temptation and put on the Gaunt Ring.
