Harry Potter Theory
About this episode

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be discussing some of the most important figures - both famous and infamous- from Wizarding History- names that are coupled with accomplishments and stories that make the Wizarding World what it is today.


The Harry Potter books really only cover the time period that the books are SET IN, but there’s a lot more to Harry Potter lore than meets the eye and It’s always interesting taking a look back at the history books. There is a LOT of ground to cover and a LOT of names on this list, so this will just be PART 1 of a multi part series. 


Starting in alphabetical order, today we’re taking a look at the A’s and B’s.


Let’s dive in.
