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?

An early page of Philosophers Stone showing an abandoned Plotline:
“So this Flamel bloke found the stone “ said Ron
“No- he made it, “said Harry, “He was an alchemist. Which means
“Someone who turns base metals into gold” said Hermione. She had
that old proving- I- know- more- than- everyone- else look on her face, the
other two noticed, “Of course. I read about this in Alchemy, Ancient
Art and Science, by Argo Pyrites”.
“I missed that one myself,” muttered Ron.
“(and)—of course it's some of the most difficult magic you can do.
And you end up not just with pure gold but...

The new students’ arrival was met with tumultuous applause. But none of the unsorted 11 year olds heard a thing. For there was only one thought in their mind, where will I be sorted? Then Professor Lovegood said in a silky voice “the sorting hat is ready.” Every one of the 11-year-olds face’s looked fretful. As they filed in, a very old and molding looking hat with a tear at the brim was placed on a stool and the tear opened up like a mouth and it broke into song.
“ A thousand years or more ago when I was newly sewn, there lived four wizards of renown, whose names are still well known:...

It was a crisp autumn eve on the Hogwarts express. Albus, James and Rosie where eating cauldron cakes and goofing off, when suddenly an owl soared by and tapped furiously on the glass. Albus opened the window and the owl burst in and stuck out its leg at Albus. Albus unstrapped the note attached to its leg. The owl stared into Albus' eyes and glared.

Then without another backwards glance it took off. "What does it say?" said Rosie who looked terrified. Albus read aloud "potter, if you ever want to see your parents again you will meet me outside the shrieking shack at midnight on Halloween." "Its signed lord Voldemort" said James.

"This doesn't add up" said Rosie. " well we will have to discuss this later because now’s the sorting." Albus said. “cross your fingers that we all get in the same house." said James. "We will!" they all said in unison.

Well I personally like the epilogue, I mean I love it , I think it's well written and everything, but I feel weird about it becausese I feel like if I'm watching my friends or myself all grown up with kids an everything :D and I don't know it's weird for me, I don't know how I'm going to react when I watch it in DH part 2, it'll be weird for me.

Regulus
Regulus
Regulus Black died in 1979. He was killed by the inferi while he was on his quest to receive Voldemorts locket horcrux and later see it destroyed. He was only 18 years old.

Regulus was part of the Black Family, which was almost all Slytherins. They believed in blood-purity. Regulus did too, in the beginning of his life, although he was Sirius' younger brother. We know Regulus was interested in Lord Voldemort, because in the Deathly Hallows when the trio search his room for Voldemorts locket, they find newspaper clippings all around his room that were about Voldemort. In the beginning of his...

Warner Bros. has scuttled plans to release the new "Harry Potter" in 3D.

In a statement released Friday, the studio said that when "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1" arrives in theaters on Nov. 19, it will be in 2D, playing both conventional theaters and IMAX, but that "we will not have a completed 3D version of the film within our release date window."

The statement continued: "Despite everyone's best efforts, we were unable to convert the film in its entirety and meet the highest standards of quality. We do not want to disappoint fans who have long-anticipated the conclusion of...

sorry if i made some miskis and stuff this is just part one
To begin, I suppose an explanation of this article's contents is in order. I have noticed, in seeing the films and then later re-reading the novels, that there are some character discrepancies. From humor to appearance, the characters in the films are, on occasion, very different from their source material. And it is in my humble opinion that the most important thing for a story to succeed is for there to be proper characterization. So, I hope I do not bore you too badly in this look at character discrepancies in the Harry Potter series. I will only look at one thing per character to make this...

Heellooooo!!!! I'm feeling rather random today so I thought I'd take a leaf out of Emma's rather large, leather bound book and do a stupid Harry Potter quiz. It's not actually a story, just a random collection of letters put together to form a random collection of words which will, in turn, provide a random collection of potentially amusing sentences. So, enjoy my little freaks!!!
Beware: If you have no sense of humour: DO NOT ENTER!!!



Read the memo? Righty ho then! Ok, lets go on to the first question then dumplings!

A. Errr, yes...

B.YAAAAAAAAAAY! A stoopid quiz for stoooopid me!!!! *yes darling,...

1. Ask him why he 'doesn't have such a cool scar?'

2. Laugh at him.

3. Wake him up by singing Beach Boys songs in his ear. 'Round, round, get around, I get around...'

4. Knit him things. Really hideous things.

5. Give him kangaroo-ears for a month.

6. Smile during Death Eater meetings and say you taught him everything he knows.

7. Chew bubblegum all the time. Should he address you, your only response will be a series of huge bubbles in quick succession, the last of which will burst everywhere and make a mess.

8. Dance the Funky Chicken.

9. Ask him when was the last time he took a bath.

10. Pat him on...

The Tri-Wizard Champion!
So, I was buzy making picks to decide your favourite Tri-wizard champion, and I've decided to show the results in a countdown!

4. Fleur Delacour
In at number 4 is Fleur! She was always going to be last, with you calling her 'a twit', 'over-the-top feminine' and 'little miss perfect'. She lost you guys pretty badly, but I don't think she did too bad in the tornament, but hey, that's just my opinion.

3. Viktor Krum
At number 3, Krum! This Bulgarian seeker seemed to annoy alot of you, including me! Whether it was because he seemed 'bleh' (your words), or because of the friction it caused between Ron...

A
Accio (Summoning Charm) - Latin for "I summon."

Alohomora (Spell that opens locks) - Derived from the Hawaiian "Aloha" meaning "goodbye," and the Latin word "mora," meaning "obstacle."

Amortentia - "Amor" is the Latin word for "love," and "tentia" is derived from "tentare," which means "the handling of," "the making of an attempt," or "the attack on." Hence, "the handling of love," "making an attempt to love," or "the attack on love."

Anapneo (Spell that clears blocked airways) - In Greek, "anapneo" means "I breathe."

This is NOT a slash fic.
