Great take on liberalist contrafactual ideology in harry potter (core of the matter in 2nd half): https://youtu.be/-1iaJWSwUZs?si=s38CyAHt_ieW50Im
Huh, thanks for sharing. I haven't finished it yet, but it is an interesting analysis so far, if a bit dry and long.
Oh boy, where to begin? There's a bunch that range from implausible, to unsettling, to simply absurd:
- Crookshanks used to live with the Potters
- Hagrid is a Death Eater
- Voldemort's rudimentary body was Bertha Jorkins' unborn child
- Draco actually loved Hermione
- McGonagall had an affair with Crookshanks
- Harry hallucinated the events of all seven books
- Wizards used to sh*t on the floor and vanish the evidence
- Snape was Harry's real father the whole time
- Mrs Norris is a maledictus and Filch's wife
- Voldemort secretly had a daughter
I'm pretty sure the shitting on the floor theory is actually a quote from the fourth book, also they don't wear underwear when wearing tunics and robes
no and no
Horcrux Harry caused the Dursley's to be awful
Which this one isn't too crazy I guess
And finally: Dracomalfoyisawerewolf.com
Horcrux Harry isn’t that bad of a theory IMO. 🤷🏻♂️
I'd agree - plus it's interesting to think what might have become of the Dursley's of they hadn't had to watch over him then.
I think my main question with it is that no one else Harry spends a lot of time with turns that way. Although, you could definitely argue that it's because everyone else are wizards, or that the others he did live with were at Hogwarts and there's some sort of protection.
Dumbledore also may have figured out horcruxs sooner to if Harry was infecting the Dursley's
Theory has a lot going for it though!
Harry spent 10 uninterrupted years at the Dursleys, much longer than anyone else - and very few people would have started with the same level of antagonism towards Harry as the Dursleys (due to Petunia’s childhood jealousy).
I’m sure regardless, they would have ended up horrid people regardless - but perhaps much less so.
In my own head-canon, I have a visual of a knock coming to the (adult) Potters door one rainy evening in the future. Harry opens the door to find a drenched Dudley, head lowered and shoulders slumped, with a Hogwarts acceptance letter scrunched in his fist. His daughter is a witch!
I actually don't know many Harry Potter theories, which one does do you know about?
do you have a worst one?
The picture probably refers to the "Ron is Dumbledore theory" https://screenrant.com/harry-potter-dumbledore-time-travel-ron-theory-explained/
thanks! that was a fun read.
now I want to read all those theories.
I thought the Pic implied catholic shenanigans between the boy and old man.
is this part of the movie with their "wands choosing the wizard " line?
i dunno haven't see it.
