Harry Potter: 16 Crazy Fan Theories That Could Still Be True

Harry Potter is now immortal:

This theory ties into the prophecy that entangled Harry Potter's fate with that of Voldemort. The prophecy stated that one must meet his end at the hand of the other. This means that Harry Potter is the only person or thing that can end Voldemort's life. But this also could mean that Voldemort is the only person or thing that can end Harry's life. Now that Voldemort is gone, this could potentially have left Harry Potter as an immortal being.  Voldemort also believed that if he eliminated Harry, he would achieve immortality, so who is to say that the opposite isn't true: with Harry eliminating Voldemort, he gained immortality (or so the theory goes). If that is the case, Harry is now the boy who lived... forever.

 

The Dursleys were mean to Harry because of a horcrux:

Harry Potter's adoptive parents, the Dursleys, were truly awful people and it's surprising how child services never knew about how horrible they were to Harry. But what if there was a reason behind their nastiness? One fan theory suggests this reason is because they were under the constant influence of a horcrux. As explained in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, being under the influence of a horcrux makes people miserable and mean. But what was the horcrux in question? The theory suggests that Harry himself is the horcrux that Voldemort inadvertently created when he tried to take Harry out as a child. Harry lived with the Dursleys most of his life, and if this is true, it's probably a miracle that they didn't go completely insane.

Ginny used a love potion on Harry:

Ginny Weasley had a crush on Harry Potter in the very beginning of the books and movies. She pined over him with something akin to creepiness. Harry, on the other hand, never seemed to notice Ginny at all. That is, until The Half-Blood Prince, when Harry suddenly seems to fall head over heels in love with the Weasley girl. This romance came on so suddenly that one fan theory suggests that their love affair isn't entirely natural. This theory states that Ginny created a love potion and used it on Harry and that's why he suddenly seemed to fall in love with her. Considering that the Weasley brothers actually sell a love potion in their shop, it would not have been that hard for her to get her hands on one.

Neville wasn’t a bad wizard, he just had the wrong wand:

Neville Longbottom's parents were two very esteemed and accomplished wizards. It seems a little weird that Neville seemed to have very little magical aptitude at Hogwarts. Neville spent most of his time in school botching spells, but at the same time, he was actually a bright student who had no problem defending himself from Death Eaters. So what gives? One fan theory suggests that Neville was a good wizard, but that he had the wrong wand. In Harry Potter, the wand must choose the wizard, but Neville chose to use his father's wand.  It does make sense that this wand was not the right one for Neville. After this wand broke, though, Neville finally went through the process of having a wand choose him, and it seemed that he became a better wizard for it.

Arthur Weasley was under the Imperius curse:

Arthur Weasley seems like a competent man. He has also put in many years working for the Ministry of Magic. Oddly enough, he doesn't seem to have actually gone anywhere with his career there. But why is that? Some suggest that Arthur was under an Imperius Curse, an unforgivable curse that forces a user to bend to another wizard's will. Perhaps the curse was subtle enough that it just seemed like Arthur did not wish to rise through the ranks, keeping him and his wizarding family at bay. Also, when Mad Eye Moody teaches the Defense Against the Dark Arts class and asks the students about the unforgivable curses, Ron mentions that his father told him about the Imperius curse. Moody replied with "Your father would know all about that."

Hogwarts was all just in Harry's head:

The world of Harry Potter seems fantastical, a strange place full of magic, wonder, and creatures that defy explanation. It seems so outlandish that one fan theory suggests that it never existed at all for Harry. This theory suggests that Harry is actually living in a mental institution, the victim of abuse and trauma. The world of Hogwarts is something that is entirely in his head, every part of it a coping mechanism he created in response to dealing with such a cruel, yet real, world. This theory suggests that the Dursleys are Harry's real family and that the Potters are something he created to deny the abuse he endured as a child at home.  Some incident occurred that sent Harry to a "special school" (the institution).

Dumbledore hired Gilderoy Lockhart for a laugh

From the beginning, Professor Dumbledore always demonstrated his sense of humor. He often made jokes and the students generally found him light-hearted. This personality trait led to a fan theory that Dumbledore hired the inept Gilderoy Lockhart for the Defense Against the Dark Arts teaching position for a laugh. This theory gained traction when Lockhart's character profile turned up on the Pottermore Wiki: that profile suggests that Dumbledore knew that Lockhart was a fraud (because Dumbledore knows everything). Instead of exposing Lockhart directly, Dumbledore hired him on at Hogwarts so that Lockhart's true colors would show when he completely failed at teaching. Hiring Lockhart was not only for a good laugh, but also to expose him for the phony really was.Dumbledore's sense of humor was also a little devious.

There was a war between wizards and muggles

One of the main premises behind the world of Harry Potter is that wizards spend much of their time hiding magic and their abilities from the Muggles world. One of the main rules is that wizards must adhere to is keeping their secrets from the hands of Muggles. But why all the secrecy? One fan theory suggests that this is because there was once a war between wizards and Muggles. The theory looks at the words "Avada Kedavra," which are suspiciously close to the Muggles word "abracadabra."  The theory believes that "abracadabra" was one of those things left after the war that Muggles say without really knowing what it actually means. This suggests that there was a violent past between the two groups because wizards used "Avada Kedavra" so much on Muggles that it remained a part of the Muggles' misremembered culture.

Crookshanks was Lily Potter's cat:

In Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling wrote about how Lily Potter once had a cat. A fan theory suggests that this cat was actually Crookshanks, who eventually became Hermione's familiar. The theory suggests that Crookshanks lived in the Magical Menagerie until Hermione adopted him.  The book even confirms that the cat had been there for a really long time. This would also explain how Crookshanks knew that Ron's rat, Scabbers, was actually Peter Pettigrew and knew that Peter was up to no good. This theory also explains why Crookshanks once helped Sirius Black, even when it meant putting the lives of the children in danger. The theory states that's because Crookshanks knew both men before he ever met Hermione, Ron and Harry.

 

The defense against the dark arts teaching position was cursed:

Hogwarts seemed to have a revolving door for its Defense against the Dark Arts teaching position. That position proved so troublesome that students had a different teacher for that class every single year. It is not much of a reach to come up with a theory that the position was cursed (especially considering the fate of some of those teachers).This happened after Dumbledore refused to allow Tom Riddle to teach the class.  Angry, the future Voldemort placed a curse on the position. The most interesting evidence to support this theory is that regardless of how much Snape wanted to teach that class, Dumbledore refused him the position. The theory suggests that this is because Dumbledore did not want the curse to touch his friend.

 Harry and Sirius are related by blood:

When Harry first met his godfather, Sirius Black, in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, he finally felt like he had someone that cared about him as family should. Sirius was one of his father's closest friends and took Harry in as if the boy were his own son. One fan theory suggests that Harry and Sirius have another bond, though. This theory states that Harry and Sirius are probably actually related by blood. The Black family tree had many "blood traitor" names burned off of it, but it did show a marriage shown between Dorea Black and Charlus Potter.  The theory suggests that James Potter was their unnamed son on that family tree. Or that Charlus Potter was another kind of direct blood relation to James. Considering that most pure-bloods are probably related in some way, this theory makes a lot of sense.

Rita Skeeter is J.K. Rowling

Authors writing themselves into their own stories has become a sort of trend in the modern age. Stephen King did it in his The Dark Tower series, after all. But did J.K. Rowling write herself into Harry Potter in some way? If she did, she gave the character a different name. Some fans think that Rowling wrote herself into her books as Rita Skeeter, the nosy reporter for The Daily Prophet that always seems to get up in Harry's business. This theory goes beyond that, though, and suggests that Skeeter got fired from her job and wrote the entire Harry Potter book series in retaliation to expose the wizarding world to Muggles. She goes on to become rich and famous as J.K. Rowling. This assumes, though, that the world of Harry Potter is real. Is it?

The centaurs always knew Harry would face Voldemort:

In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry ends up meeting the centaur Firenze in the Forbidden Forest. That meeting sets the tone for the rest of the book series, especially according to one fan theory. This theory suggests that the centaurs knew all along that Harry would eventually face Voldemort. Firenze states that the centaurs don't go against events that are "written in the stars."  Firenze later gets banished from his herd for helping Dumbledore in The Order of the Phoenix, because he interfered with those events. In the final book, The Deathly Hallows, the centaurs watch as Voldemort and Harry cast each other unconscious after Voldemort uses Avada Kedavra. It is as if the centaurs always knew that would happen and knew better than to interfere.

Harry and Hermione are actually brother and sister:

Harry and Hermione had a special relationship: it was almost like the two were brother and sister. But what if they really were? There is a theory that suggests that James and Lily Potter actually had two children: a boy and a girl (Harry and Hermione).  For some reason, they gave the girl up for adoption to the Granger family. The theory even states that Hermione eventually finds out that she is adopted and that she is Harry's sister. It also explains that because she is his sister, she has Lily's blood in her, which is why she seems so naturally protective of him. It could also explain why, in spite of their closeness, there was never a romantic relationship between the two.

The Sorting Hat can predict the future:

One of the most mysterious elements at Hogwarts is the Sorting Hat, the item of apparel that, when placed on a student's head, knows exactly what house that student belongs in, all based on that student's personality traits. At first seems that some students are entirely in the wrong house. Take Neville, for example: he seems like a coward, but still gets sorted into Gryffindor, the house of heroes. Draco doesn't seem all that cunning, but he still gets sorted into Slytherin. Eventually, though, the students take on the personalities of their house. One theory suggests that this is because the Sorting Hat can see into the future, knowing where each student should go even before their personality traits match that particular house.

Dumbledore's true identity:

The Harry Potter mythology includes a story called "The Tale of the Three Brothers". This story is about three brothers who face Death after crossing a magical river where others have drowned. Feeling cheated, Death was angry at the brothers but offers to grant them each a wish - but it was a trick. The brothers ask for the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and an invisibility cloak, all items that eventually become the Deathly Hallows. A fan theory suggests that Death was actually Dumbledore all along, given hat he played a role in the ends of both Snape and Voldemort and due to the fact that he gave Harry the invisibility cloak. This theory proved so popular that J.K. Rowling acknowledged it as "fitting."

15 Darkest Harry Potter Secrets and Theories:

Draco Malfoy Is a Werewolf

This would be an eyebrow-raising theory for pretty much any other series besides Harry Potter. But as we all know, animagi and werewolf exist within the Potter universe, so Malfoy being a werewolf isn’t quite as far-fetched as it could be. There are many Harry Potter theories that are without significant evidence, but this theory actually has quite a bit of support backing it up. Most of the evidence supporting this theory happens between the 6^th and 7^th books of the series, when Draco drops his usual pranking ways and instead is plunged full force into a starring role in the assassination of our favorite headmaster, Dumbledore. The crux of the theory is that Fenrir Greyback bites Draco when Lucius is not able to retrieve the prophecy for Lord Voldemort. It’s interesting to note that Grey-back also bit Remus Lupin, and subjected him to a life of secrecy. Another really dark supporting bit of evidence is that Voldemort says to Draco, “maybe you can babysit the cubs” when referencing the fact that Remus and Tonks are having a child. There’s also the little fact that J.K. Rowling happened to mention that in a scene in the third movie, there was a moment in which Draco was supposed to impersonate a werewolf as a type of foreshadowing device. So it sounds like not only is Draco a giant jerk, but could also potentially be a future cold blooded killer, so that’s good!

Dementors Represent Rowling’s Battle with Depression

This is a particularly sad and dark entry, but it’s something worth nothing. J.K. Rowling is an incredible woman who made a gigantic name for herself when she created the world’s favorite coming-of-age wizarding adventure, and she did it all to escape an unhealthy marital situation. J.K. Rowling has said time and time again that she had implanted a lot of her personal feelings, stories, and wisdom into the Potter books over the years, and with that, she injected a lot of wonder and majesty into the series. However, on the flip side, Rowling was constantly battling with depression while writing the books, and she didn’t leave out any of the darkness that she experienced in life either. The Dementors are creepy for a variety of reasons, but the greatest of which being that they are pure cold entities that feed off of happy thoughts and memories that a person has. When asked if depression was the inspiration for the Dementors, Rowling stated, “Yes. That is exactly what they are. It was entirely conscious. And entirely from my own experience. Depression is the most unpleasant thing I have ever experienced. It is that absence of being able to envisage that you will ever be cheerful again. The absence of hope.”

Dumbledore Saw His Family in the Mirror of Erised

The Mirror of Erised has provided us with some of the most epic and legendary quotes in the entire Harry Potter series, and those quotes all belong to one man, Albus Dumbledore. It was Dumbledore who stated, "Men have wasted away before it, not knowing if what they have seen is real, or even possible." Dumbledore speaks from experience here when he talks about the mirror's power, as he is also guilty of staring into it from time to time. Harry ends up asking Dumbledore what it was he saw when he looked in the mirror, and Dumbledore (seemingly) deflects by saying that he sees himself wearing a pair of thick woolen socks. However, on a morning show, J.K. Rowling herself stated, “He saw his family alive, whole and happy - Ariana, Percival and Kendra all returned to him, and Aberforth reconciled to him.” So it seems Dumbledore was lying to Harry in an attempt to drive him away from the allure of the mirror, which clearly has devoured some of Dumbledore’s attention as well.

Snape’s Hatred for Neville Explained

Snape hates a lot of children throughout the Harry Potter series. Snape's true intentions are the ultimate twist throughout the Potter novels and films, as he goes from suspect number one to being a self-sacrificing hero in the end. It’s no secret that Snape had a great attachment and affection for Lily, Harry’s mother.

This theory states that Snape has it out, particularly for Neville Longbottom’s, due to the fact that Voldemort himself went after the Potters on the faithful night of Lily and James’ murder, instead of the Longbottom’s. He sent his follower, Bellatrix Lestrange to kill the Longbottom’s. Snape is under the suspicion that if Bellatrix were sent after the Potters, they would have had a better chance of surviving (and he’s probably right). It’s totally unfair for Snape to blame Neville for something that wasn’t directly his fault, and wasn’t even the fault of his parents. This paints Snape as much more malicious as Potter fans would care to view him, and seems pretty illogical for a meticulous thinker like Snape to point blame at Neville. But perhaps with Neville being another possible “boy-who-lived”, Snape needed to vent his frustration somewhere, and chose Neville.

Hagrid is Sterile

This is yet another entry that is equal parts dark and sad. Hagrid is a fan-favorite character within the world of Harry Potter, and this theory suggests that he was never able to have any children. Hagrid is the groundskeeper at Hogwarts, and he fills his day with the care taking of not only the students at the school, but the numerous creatures that he supervises. This theory is based on the fact that Hagrid is a half giant, and therefore is not able to reproduce. There’s no hard evidence on this one, but it does make a lot of sense. Hagrid seems like the perfect individual to have a family of his own, and he proves throughout the entire series that he would be a great dad, while taking care of Harry, Hermione, and Ron (even though he might get them further into trouble sometimes). This is yet another theory that Potter fans will have to wait to either be confirmed or debunked by Rowling herself.

Voldemort’s Boggart Would Be His Corpse

This is an extremely dark entry, even for someone as malicious as Voldemort. Voldemort apparently fears nothing, he murders without hesitation, he betrays without caution, and he refuses to get close to anyone. But according to J.K. Rowling, there is one thing that Voldemort fears, and it’s the thing we all fear, deat. When asked about his boggart, J.K. stated, “Voldemort’s fear is death, ignominious death. I mean, he regards death itself as ignominious. He thinks that it’s a shameful human weakness, as you know. His worst fear is death, but how would a boggart show that? I’m not too sure. I did think about that because I knew you were going to ask me that.” After this, the interviewer mentioned the idea of a corpse. Rowling responded, “That was my conclusion, that he would see himself dead.” This does make sense, what with Voldemort’s extreme steps to break apart his soul into several pieces.

Voldemort Is Unable To Love

This is reveal de-humanizes an already detached and inhuman villain. Rowling stated in an interview that since Voldemort was conceived by the influence of Amortentia, which is a love potion, he was born of fake love, and therefore is unable to love like the rest of the people in the wizarding world. This means that Voldemort was almost driven to madness, for without love, it would have been tough for him to get close to anyone. In turn, this makes Voldemort a less interesting villain, and that instead of a thirst for power driving him to commit such heinous acts, it was his very birth that started him on the path to darkness. He was born into a loveless union, so he wasn’t raised in a loving environment either, which could help to explain his behavior. This theory is a bit hard to swallow for most Potter fans, as Voldemort’s turn against the wizarding world is the most heavily debated topic for those that study the books and films. To have a single answer, and one as simplistic as this, almost hurts the myths.

 King George and George Weasley

This is a secret of sorts, as well as a very interesting piece of trivia, which seems to be too direct to be merely coincidental. This was a theory that originated on Tumblr. The original post reads as follows, “All the Weasley names except for Ron are either the names of a British king or queen or an Arthurian name (and Ron brings Harry into the family, and there have been 8 Harry’s [sic] on the throne; nine if you are a die-hard Jacobite). King George III was deaf in one ear – and he became king because of the untimely death of Prince Frederick.” This is a very eerie theory, as both Georges suffered from ear problems, and that both Fred’s met an untimely death, and that George was then left to carry on the legacy of their respective families. This theory falls a little flat when applying other evidence, as the brothers don’t really share many personality traits. So this is either a crazy coincidence or J.K. Rowling was trying to provide a little history lesson for her young readers.

Harry, Tom Riddle, And Snape Are The Three Brothers

The theory that Harry, Snape, and Voldemort are the modern representation of the siblings from The Tales of the Three Brothers is intriguing, and  seems to be pretty well accepted by the Harry Potter fandom. It is known that Harry is a descendant of Ignotus Peverell, and Voldemort is descended from Cadmus Peverell. So it’s not too far-fetched to think that Snape could also be a descendant of one of the brothers. Taking into consideration the fact that Voldemort died for power, Snape died for lost love, and Harry greeted death like an old friend gives the theory the extra weight it needs to gain legitimacy. There are many fans who argue the theory's claims, and others who are convinced that perhaps Dumbledore is a part of the modern three brothers (but there will be more on that later).Like the three brothers of old, Harry, Snape, and Voldemort each chose vastly different paths in life, but were all eventually either taken, or welcomed by death.

Hogwarts As An Insane Asylum

This theory that gained a lot of traction when it was first introduced on Reddit, and it might just be too crazy to ever gain any sense of justification. The theory speculates that while sitting in front of the mirror of Erised, Harry went completely mad. Hogwarts can be seen, from a mentally unstable point of view, as a misconfigured asylum. The moving stairs, talking paintings, and blood-drenched walls are all either actual or imaginary, and Harry had been placed there to deal with the death of his parents. The Redditor also states that perhaps Harry murdered Cedric, as he was the only one to witness the murder, and no one else believes him when he says it was Voldemort. There is also the King’s Cross scene, and the interaction between Harry and Dumbledore while there. Harry says, “Tell me one thing. Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?”This has always been read as dialogue pertaining to Harry’s out of body experience, but what if it has to do with everything? Especially since Dumbledore famously responds with, “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on Earth should that mean that is not real?”

George’s Missing Patronus

Here's a theory that will make even the most stoic Potter lover lose their mind and bawl openly. This theory begins by stating that Patronuses are linked together, generally between soul mates. This is talked about numerous times throughout the series, and explains why Ron’s patronus is a terrier and Hermione’s is an otter, as terriers chase otters. The theory goes on to say that since George is no longer able to conjure the patronus charm after Fred’s death, that George and Fred were soul mates. Talk about devastating. It does make sense, since Fred and George were inseparable, and chose to spend their time with each other rather than chasing significant others. Fred and George are some of the greatest characters throughout Rowling’s novels simply based on the fact that their talents lay in their humor. They were able to create magic by just being with one another, and they were able to amuse and entertain a school with dragons, evil wizards, and crazy professors.

Harry’s Small Class Size

This is more of a secret than a theory, in the sense that if you think about this particular entry enough, it makes total sense, and doesn’t seem ill-conceived. This particular speculation states that since many children’s parents in Harry’s class at Hogwarts were directly involved in the Wizarding War, that Harry’s class size is so dismal because too many adults died during the time when they would have conceived children the same age as Harry.Yet another depressing secret, however, this particular one seems to be backed up pretty well. The Wizarding War saw great losses on both sides, and it’s a near certainty that people were not rushing to have children during this dark and depressing time. This actually makes sense because not only would it allow Rowling to write about far fewer children in Harry’s graduating class, but it makes sense from a true narrative perspective as well. This means that many wizarding family legacies were cut short by Voldemort, and that his dark power could be felt through various generations.

Dumbledore Is Death

Dumbledore being the personification of Death was foreshadowed earlier when talking about the modern-day Tale of the Three Brothers, using Harry, Voldemort, and Snape. This theory also originated on Tumblr, and it took the Potter community by storm when it was first thought up.Here’s all the evidence supporting this theory. First of all, Dumbledore, like Death, is the one to give the Invisibility Cloak to Harry in the first book. Dumbledore is also the one to give the Resurrection Stone to Harry by hiding it in the Golden Snitch. Dumbledore also indirectly delivers the Elder Wand to Harry when Harry defeats Draco Malfoy in a duel. The final evidence that Dumbledore is Death is that he is either behind/involved in both the death of Snape and Voldemort. The only ancillary evidence that would give this theory more credence would be if Snape and Voldemort greeted Dumbledore at the end of their lives. This seems to make the most sense in the context of the Three Brothers theory.

11 Harry Potter fan theories that are actually pretty convincing

Ron Weasley is actually a time-travelling Dumbledore

This has been a popular theory since 2004. It’s based on the idea that the chess game in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is an allegory for the series as a whole. Ron plays the knight and then the king – just like Dumbledore does in the larger war. There’s also the fact that they "look similar", they’re both described as tall and thin with a long nose, and they both have auburn hair (or Dumbledore did before it went white). There’s also the fact they have similar characteristics, such as loving Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor Beans. Far fetched? Yes, but not unbelievable, check out the full theory here.

The Dursleys were under the effect of a horcrux

For years we thought the Dursleys were simply evil - but according to one theory the Dursleys were influenced by dark forces. Remember in the last Harry Potter when Ron turns really horrible because of about 5 minutes of exposure to a horcrux? Well, the Dursleys were exposed to Harry Potter - who is a horcrux - for 10 years.

The Deathly Hallows is symbolic of all the books

According to the final fight scene in the Deathly Hallows, Ron and Hermione are chased by an ugly creature and then hide behind a bike (like in the first book), then attacked by spiders (like in the second book), then a werewolf appears (like in the third book), and then dementors appear (like the fourth book), then the Order of the Phoenix appears, as happens in book five, and then they reach Snape who is the half-blood prince. This is one of the most convincing one’s we’ve read.

Horcruxes were created by cannibalism

J.K Rowling never revealed exactly how Voldemort managed to split his soul into seven pieces and evade death. Reddit user, sirione13 theorised that he did it by eating his victims. She argues that cannibalism throughout history has been associated with gaining strength, and the only way to make a horcrux is through murder – yet Voldemort wasn’t responsible for all of the deaths that created horcruxes.

Harry is now immortal, and that’s awful

 The Harry Potter books say “either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives” most interpreted this to mean that one had to kill another (as Harry kills Voldemort in the last book). This theory questions that premise and asks if it really means the only way that either of them could die was at the hands of the other. Hence by killing Voldemort, Harry forfeits his death – the ultimate sacrifice for Harry, as it means he’ll never be reunited with his deceased friends and family.

 The Harry Potter trio are only in Gryffindor because they asked

This theory argues that Ron, Harry and Hermione should really be in Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw respectively, but ended up in Gryffindor because they had the courage to ask the sorting hat.

Albus Dumbledore is gay

This theory states hat Dumbledore is gay as he had a crush on Grindelward. If didn’t he would have killed Grindelward in the first place but instead he just put him in prison. Dumbledore was attached and attracted towards Grindelward as he didn’t give attention to Ariana even though she was sick and he denied his own brother Aberforth and became obsessed with the same thing as Grindelward “the deathly hallows”.
