There have been a lot of Harry Potter theories, ranging from the ridiculous to the strange to the horrifying.
I have composed a list here.
Please comment any other theories you know of that I've missed. :)
Also: there are major spoilers in some of these. Next to each one, if there is a spoiler, I will write the book that it spoils, so if you haven't read that one: skip that theory.
1. The Dursley Family is Justified (Spoils Deathly Hallows)
This is one of my favorites, by the way. Now, we all know that Horcruxes often corrupt people (the medallion, Riddle's diary) and Harry is, as it was revealed in the seventh book, a Horcruxes. So wouldn't it make sense that Harry has a 'bad energy'? This could explain why the Dursleys were so mean to him - yes, they hated Wizards, but some people needed more of an explanation and deduced that Harry simply annoyed people.
2. Draco Malfoy is a Werewolf (Minor spoiler)
Lucius Malfoy pissed Voldemort off later in the series, and what else would He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named do then send Greyback after Lucius's son? Draco was bit after his fifth year ended.
3. Dumbledore is Ron
Okay, this one is plain crazy, but I love it. This theory states that Ron is a version of Dumbledore, gone back in time to help out Harry. Think about it: Ron and Dumbledore are described as having the same appearance... Yeah, no. This I still an insane theory.
4. Harry is Crazy
This one is really sad, and made me half-depressed for an hour. The theory goes like this: Harry went so crazy because of his uncle and aunt that he invented a whole world for himself, a world where magic existed... And this theory actually makes sense. Harry imagined a world where he was the Chosen One, where he defeated a powerful wizard, where his parents died for good, where he had friends and was famous. It's sad, but even J.K Rowling approves. She said this was her favorite fan theory.
Anyways, do you have any other Harry Potter theories to share?

I know that you-know-who is very cruel and very dark. However, what made him to have these personality. I mean when he was a child, he was lonely and he did not know anything about magic and the wizarding world. He was confused. Therefore, he lost his controland caused the dark lord today.
In short, I want to say that the Dark lord is very cruel and dark,but there are some reasons that caused him to be a dark wizard.
I think the dark lord is very poor because he does not know love and thereis no love in his world. He is lonely.At the last moment of his life,he still did't know what is love and he didn't have any friend!
How about you? What do you think about you-kno-who? Can you think some reason that caused Tom Riddle to be a dark wizard?
Many of us are familiar with Harry Potter's Diagon Alley but somehow... it sounds weird to hear A Diagon Mall. I am a third year student taking up Advertising and we are assign think of a topic that suit our satisfaction. Our topic is about Thematic Branding and I am thinking about doing the Harry Potter's Diagon Alley. Since the place is already a commercial place for the wizardy world I have decided to pick it up as my thesis. Now I would like to gather comments about my proposal about Advertising Diagon Alley and make it not just an ordinary place in a magical world.
Since the 7th book is out and has probably been read by most of the Harry Potter fans, does this really mean that the Potter mania is over? When I finished the book, I immediately reread it just trick to myself into thinking it wasn't over. For a while I was in a state of Potter denial. I kept thinking that it's not over and there will be loads more books after the 7th. I have finally realized that it's over and done with. But it got me thinking.
Will we ever have another great series like Harry Potter?
It's possible that we might not see another great series for 5, 10, or even 20 years. It might not be as good as Harry Potter, but there's hope.
But maybe we won't have to wait. Maybe the Potter mania isn't really over. With Fanfic, Fanart, Wizard Rock and everything wizard related the Potter legacy still continues. So, maybe it isn't the end.
