After the dust settled and the battle with Voldemort came to an end, the Wizarding world was finally able to finally celebrate the triumph of good over evil.

However, it also marked the beginning of an uncharted chapter in wizarding world history.

And because the books and films came to an end, we never gained much insight into what became of the places and characters that we grew to love.

We were given a brief epilogue that offered a TINY snippet of what their lives looked like 19 years later- but besides that..Nothing.

And this leaves a significant gap that remains largely unexplored, not to mention the many years that have passed since the epilogue.

Today I’m going to fill you in on what became of the titular character, Harry Potter- taking a look at what transpired in his life, and what sort of man he became.

Let’s dive in.

Welcome to a special installment of Harry Potter Theory. We’re now well into 2025 and I wanted to take this opportunity to take a look back at 2024 and highlight five of my favourite DARK Harry Potter theories from the year. There’s a good variety here, so hopefully you enjoy.

Let’s get in to it.

Dumbledore and Voldemort are widely regarded as the pinnacle of magical power, standing at the very top of the wizarding hierarchy. Their mastery of spells, dueling prowess, and profound understanding of magic set them apart from nearly all other witches and wizards in history.

While still just a boy, Dumbledore performed magic that his professors "had never seen before,", and in adulthood, he cemented his place as the most powerful wizard of his time, mastering disciplines of magic that others could barely comprehend.

Years later, Voldemort followed suit, displaying unnatural magical talent from a young age. Even before formal training, he could move objects, control animals, and manipulate the minds of others through sheer will. As an adult, Voldemort’s magic became unmatched in both brutality and innovation. He pushed spellcraft to its limits and became the only known wizard to split his soul multiple times.

It’s fairly safe to say that these two were leaps and bounds ahead of their peers and entirely deserving of their reputations as two of the most powerful wizards in history.

But what if I told you that another wizard—one just as powerful, if not more so, than both of these men—once walked the very same halls of Hogwarts that they did, but somehow doesn’t get nearly the same recognition?

Today we’re going to be cracking this wide open and telling his story.

The Sacred Twenty-Eight is a “Pure-Blood Directory” published in the first half of the twentieth century that outlines the wizarding world’s most pure-blooded magical families – which is to say, the witches and wizards whose ancestors had not “muddied” their blood lines with Muggle integration.

Within the wizarding society, blood purity has been a longstanding source of division and prejudice, and the assertion that some wizarding families were more “pure” than others (because their bloodline remained purely magical) is not received well by most in Wizarding Society.

Regardless of this, pure-bloods believe they are somehow better—more powerful, more deserving—simply because their lineage has remained untouched by Muggle blood. And while many wizarding families (even some on the Sacred 28 list) reject this idea as outdated and elitist, many others, like the Malfoys and the Blacks, wear their pure-blood status like a badge of honour, ensuring that their family trees remain free of Muggle influence.

And the same can be said for many others on this list.

But if we dissect the Sacred Twenty-Eight more closely, there’s something… odd about it, and it’s the fact that the Weasleys are on the list.

Unlike the Malfoys, who openly embraced their pure-blood superiority, the Weasleys are known for their progressive attitudes—welcoming half-bloods, Muggle-borns, and even Muggles themselves. They openly reject pure-blood supremacy, and yet… their family history, even as recent as Molly and Arthur, tells a different story. Is it possible that the Weasleys are simply no better than the families they claim to be so different from? Have they, for generations, quietly upheld the very same pure-blood traditions they claim to despise—just in a less obvious way?

Today we’re going to be unpacking the Weasley’s dirty dark secret.

Magic is displayed (at a MINIMUM) by the time the witch or wizard reaches eleven years old, otherwise known as Hogwarts age.

But..Can magic be stripped away just as quickly as it manifests? Can one who finds themselves accustomed to their magical capabilities be then reduced to what is effectively a..Squib?

GILDEROY LOCKHART

And today I’ve got a sinister little theory for you about how he was able to get just so famous in the Wizarding World. Nono, it’s not that he falsified his stories- that’s canon. This is something else..And it’s also something that you’ll hear and more-than-likely entirely agree with.

Last week I made a video outlining the 10 most powerful wizards of all time. And that video followed a whole bunch of other power ranking videos I’ve done in the past- most powerful Death eaters, Aurors etc.

Anyway, in the last video I noticed quite a few people commenting that they wanted me to do the SAME for witches.

I left witches out of the last video intentionally because they deserve a dedicated ranking of their own. So today, we’re going to be taking a look at the 10 most POWERFUL witches of all time, diving into the history books and seeing who is worthy of a spot on this list. Before we get started, why don’t you comment YOUR top 10 down below. I’ve got some wild cards you probably won’t be expecting..

Let’s get in to it.
