Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedAs far as works of fiction go, the Harry Potter books are pretty mild. Sure, the books do get a LITTLE bit darker as the story goes on..But you’d never go so far as to deem it SATANIC or something..Right? Well, as it happens, many people DO think this way (I know, nuts), and ever since the first book hit the shelves in the late ‘90s, there have been waves of controversies surrounding the series—including some truly outrageous claims… Like Harry Potter being somehow synonymous with devil worship. And that’s just one of these flagrant claims. One asserts that the Harry Potter books act as an “open doorway that will put untold millions of kids into hell” Another claims that that the books are “worse than rat poison mixed with orange soda” And one religious figure even made the bold proclamation that: "Behind Harry Potter hides the signature of the king of the darkness, the devil.” These are REAL quotes. But..Now the question is: Are these assertions substantiated in ANY WAY? Today, we’re going to be tackling this topic head-on—unpacking why so many people believed Harry Potter served as a gateway to hell, what unfolded in the wake of these controversies, and why, despite all the backlash, the series not only survived…But became a global phenomenon.

14:42 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked14:42
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedI’ve done a lot of spell videos. The most powerful, the most dangerous, the hardest to cast, but one I’ve always wanted to make involves taking a look at the most… Messed up. Not the deadliest. Not the flashiest. But the kind of spell that makes you question why someone would even invent it in the first place. Fortunately I’ve gone down the spell rabbit hole pretty deep- I’ve even made an entire video covering every single spell in the Wizarding World. So I’ve got a pretty solid grasp on the full spellbook. Which is why today, we’re shining a light on the most messed up, demented spells the Wizarding World has to offer—spells that exist to inflict pain, humiliation, and sometimes just pure, senseless suffering. Instead of focusing on the obvious ones, my goal for this video will be to dig deeper into the cruel, obscure, and morally bankrupt curses, hexes, and jinxes that most of you probably haven’t even heard of. But before we get stuck in, I do want to highlight one consideration: Sometimes, it’s not about what the spell is inherently—it’s about how it’s used. Something that seems harmless on the outside—like a spell used to mend a broken teacup can quickly become a tool of torment in the wrong hands. Anyway.. Let’s dive into it.

This witch, known more commonly for her title as a ‘sorceress’ was known for her extraordinary magical abilities—so much so that her name became legend, even beyond the wizarding world. Her mastery over spells and enchantments rivaled that of the most powerful sorcerers in history, yet for some reason, she remains overlooked in most discussions of magic. But who was this witch?

And upon his first discovery of this magical realm, he’s filled with both excitement and confusion. “Harry - Yer a Wizard” “I’m a what?” Gasped Harry This was a boy who had, for all his waking years, endured a painfully DULL and oppressive life at 4 Privet drive alongside the Dursleys. And now, suddenly, in a single moment, an entire magical world seems to be calling his name. Potions. Spells. Magical Creatures. Magic Wands. All of it. And this sudden revelation of a hidden world offered not only a glimmer of hope—but also the promise of a life far beyond the ordinary. And what does Harry go and do? CAST absolutely no spells for the entire first film. No, really. Harry Potter, the BOY WHO LIVED, Voldemort SLAYER- doesn’t cast ANYTHING. But.... What about when he....

1 The DARK Truth About Love Potions (It's BAD...) - Harry Potter Theory 10:07
10:07 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked10:07
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWhen navigating the Wizarding World through the perspective of a Muggle, there are a lot of things that might raise a few eyebrows. Some in a morally dubious sense—and others simply because of how unbelievably astonishing they are. But in my view, there is perhaps nothing more sinister or baffling than the notion of a love potion (and that’s quite a statement given what’s out there) Think about it: it’s a potion that you give to someone… and it makes them fall INVOLUNTARILY in love with you. For just a second- consider the power you could have over someone with this- one sip from a potion and they’re infatuated with you. And all of this only feels even more bizarre when you consider the fact that we’re CONSTANTLY reminded of how POWERFUL the force of love truly is in the Wizarding World. Yet… somehow, love can be bottled and sold? Like a trinket on a shop shelf in Diagon Alley. Today we’re going to be taking a closer look at LOVE potions in Harry Potter. HOW they’re allowed to exist, HOW they work, and even a few theories on Why I think they might not be QUITE what we think they are- ONE of which involves the Weasley twins. Let’s dive in.

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.

1 The Forgotten Wizard MORE Powerful Than Voldemort & Dumbledore Combined - Harry Potter History 11:11
11:11 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked11:11
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedDumbledore 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.

1 The Weasley Family's REALLY Messed Up Past - Harry Potter Theory 10:42
10:42 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked10:42
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe 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.
