Hey everyone, welcome to another instalment of Harry Potter Theory.

Today we're delving into the realm of unused characters, elusive figures that were mentioned

by rolling but never made an appearance in any officially

released material, whether it be books or films.

drafts, and words spoken by J.K. Rowling during interviews. Some were scrapped in

to uncover these intriguing, yet unused characters, discussing

their origins, powers, and the roles they may have played if given the chance.

From a lost Weasley family member to a Hogwarts Toad Ghost to a professor named Petigrew, this

list has it all.

which does already seem quite a lot, but if I missed any, please let me know in the comments

and I'll address it in a future video. For organization's sake, I'm going to be listing them

in alphabetical order. Anyway, I won't babble any longer. Let's dive in. Bathsheida babbling. Professor
