7 Things We Learn About Harry Potter AFT...

Harry Potter Theory
About this episode

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Before we get started, let me clarify what we’re diving into today: this video is all about the things we learn about the Harry Potter story after the series ended—little tidbits of info that Rowling shared outside of the books. These are the hidden nuggets of lore you’d only know if you kept up with interviews, Pottermore updates, or extended publications. Things like..Oh I don’t know, the fact that Rowling very seriously considered killing off Ron Weasley.


This video is NOT about what happens to the wizarding world or its characters after Voldemort’s defeat. That’s a whole different topic which I’ve covered extensively in the past. If you want to know about THAT kind of thing, check out my other videos.


Without further ado, let’s dive in to some of the most fascinating things we’ve learned about the Harry Potter series after it ended!
