Harry Potter Theory

A couple of months ago I made a video discussing the fate of Voldemort’s AFTER his final defeat in the Deathly Hallows. And although Voldemort’s death looks fairly different from book to film- DISINTEGRATING into a thousand pieces in the films and simply falling to the ground with mundane finality in the books- one thing remained the same: Voldemort’s soul was completely and utterly destroyed.

And unquestionably this was due to his pursuit of Horcruxes.

By repeatedly tearing his soul apart—splitting it again and again in the name of immortality—Voldemort ensured that when death finally came for him, there was simply nothing whole left to survive it. And his soul, repeatedly mutilated beyond recognition, was incapable of moving on- forcing him to remain a broken fragment trapped in a state of eternal limbo.

But here’s the thing.. Although creating Horcruxes is a sure fire way to destroy the state of your soul, it’s important to remember that it’s not the ONLY way.

And this brings into the question the fate of some of the other characters in the series..

In particular, a character with a fairly dubious past: Albus Dumbledore.

In a clip that just surfaced online, we got footage of an interview with Ralph Fiennes where he seems to accidentally reveal the name of the new VOLDEMORT in the upcoming HBO series.

I’ll play the clip then let you know my thoughts.

What if Snape Never Switched Sides?

This one’s going to be a doozy.

Severus Snape is perhaps one of the most important characters in the Harry Potter series.

He was the man who first delivered the prophecy to Voldemort.

He was the man trusted with secrets powerful enough to decide the outcome of the war.

He was the man who protected the son of the woman he loved, even when that boy hated him.

And perhaps most importantly, he was the man who chose the mission over redemption, knowing history would never forgive him.

In fact, Snape’s role in Harry Potter is so deep that it’s hard to imagine the story without him. Neatly every driving plot point and every major turning moment hinges on Snape’s involvement in some way, shape, or form.

And all of this just makes the question of him NEVER switching sides even more fascinating.

Because if Severus Snape never made that choice—if he never turned against Voldemort—then the story we know simply couldn’t exist.

A while back I released ‘7 Major Events BEFORE The Harry Potter Story Started’ parts 1 and 2- segments of a series where I discuss events that took place PRIOR to the books and films.

Harry Potter lore is WAY deeper than some people realize (maybe not tolkien level deep, but that’s asking a lot), so today we’re going to be winding the clocks back once again and exploring 7 more significant events in Harry Potter canon. The last video left us in the early parts of the 16th century, so today we’ll be picking things up in the latter half.

Let’s dive into it.
