Harry Potter Theory
About this episode

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Ghost Plots.


You might not be too surprised to hear that Rowling, who wrote the 7 Harry Potter books in a 10 year timespan, generated a fair bit of information (storylines, plots, characters) that simply never made it in to the final versions of the beloved books. And in time, these secondary pieces of information have come to be known as ‘Ghost Plots’.
