Hi there, if you liked Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them (the new Harry Potter series) than I have a theory for you.
First I know that not many people read my blog and that some of you may not be fans of Harry Potter and may not know these terms so here is a dictionary:
1. The elder wand- one of the parts of the Deathly Hallows. It it the most powerful wand and was given to one of the brothers told in the Deathly Hallows story by death. The three parts to the deathly hallows are the resurrection stone (can bring back people from the dead, was taken by death from the river), the invisibility cloak (makes you invisible and hides the user from even death, was a piece of death’s cloak), and finally the elder wand (most powerful wand ever created, fashioned by death from a near by tree) if anyone person has all of these he (or she) has the power to control death.
2. Gellert Girndelwald- the villain in Fantastic Beast and Where to Find Them.
3. Azkaban- the prison that was made for wizards, first mentioned in the prisoner of Azkaban (the 3rd Harry Potter book). It’s basically the equivalent to Alcatraz (except it’s for wizards and witches and instead of water it’s protected by death eaters (they suck the life out of you and bring back your worst memories).
4. Ollivander- the name of the guy who owns Elevander’s and sells Harry Potter his first wand. He is well known in the wizarding world for being a wand expert (and in the 4th Harry Potter book he “weights the wands” to make sure they can be used in the tournament).
5. Dumbledore and you-know-who- honestly if you don’t know these terms you should be reading this but Dumbledore is head master and you-know-who is Voldemort aka Tom Riddle (he’s the villain just in case,but seriously stop reading this if you didn’t know those two terms).
6. The snitch- a golden ball that is part of a wizarding game called Quiditch (I hope I spelled that right). If the seeker (the one who has to catch the snitch to end the game) catches it they are awarded 100 points (this doesn’t always mean they won but it usually does-sometimes a team can be 110 points behind so catching it would still make them 10 points behind). It is a pretty cool game but back to the subject, Harry is the seeker(the catcher of the snitch) and he catches the snitch in his first game but he actually ends up catching it with his mouth (this comes in play in my second theory).
In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, you-know-who is searching for the elder wand. First, he visits Ollivader but doesn’t get much out of him. His second visit is to Azkaban where he interrogates Gellert Girndelwald and tries to take the wand from him, Gellert tells him he no longer has it but he knows where it is. This means that at some point Gellert Girndelwald gets the elder wand at some point. It also means that he eventually goes to Azkaban. I don’t know when they will explain how these events happened I just know they happened. If you don’t believe me you should rewatch Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows part 1, you can reread the book if you’d like but it would be easier just to rewatch the movie, ha ha.
This is another theory, that can’t be proven but I think most of you can agree. Dumbledore had the power to control death. Although he never signed his name when Harry received the cloak and only put “use it well” we can assume he was the one who gave it to Harry with common sense. We know he had the elder wand because Voldemort got it from his grave, and he had the resurrection stone because he gave it to Harry after he died. He must have put it in the snitch before Harry’s first game because it opens when he swallowed it, Dumbledore’s very intelligent but no one saw that coming. In the snitch was the resurrection stone which is revealed in the last movie/book. During the 1st book/movie and before Dumbledore had access to all three Hallows which means at some point he had the power to control death.
Now I have a question for all those Harry Potter fans who think they can answer this: Voldemort never knew that Harry was a horcrux (if you don’t know what this is you frankly can’t answer the question) but he knew that he could only split his soul and put it into a horcrux a curtain number of times (I think you can split your soul 7 times) . Wouldn’t he have noticed that he didn’t have the last piece of his soul. For example he has 3 pieces of his soul left-he puts one in Harry and has 2 remaining- when he gets down to his last one wouldn’t he think “oh shoot where is that last piece of my soul?” You can’t just loose your soul like that, it’s not like a key that you can’t find it’s your soul he knows he must have put it in something that he doesn’t know about, but wouldn’t he at least notice it’s missing?
Another question for anyone who thinks they can answer it: In Harry Potter, Goblet of fire Barty Crouch Jr. uses polyjuice potion to look like Mad Eye Moody, while looking like Mad Eye Moody he teaches the student of Hogwarts, Durmstrang, and Beauxbatons about the 3 Unforgivable curses (illegally by the way and because he thought it was right not because he was being forced to do so) why does he teach them about the unforgivable curses? He’s a death eater so it makes no sense for him to teach them something that could drastically help them fight you-know-who and other death eaters or followers.
This last paragraph has nothing to do with Harry Potter but for those of you who also love Princess Bride, this is for you. (I’ve already pointed this out to my parents but for others–not that there are many– this is new news.) In the fight scene between the giant and Wesley, the giant asks Wesley why he’s wearing a mas. He replies that it’s comfortable and he believes everyone in the future will be wearing them. I hope you see the joke, we are all wearing masks XD except our cover our masks and not the upper part of our face. (Here’s the link to the scene on YouTube in case you want to see for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lISBP_fPg1s)
