| 0:32.6 | Welcome to another instalment of Harry Potter Theory. |
| 0:36.7 | As much as I enjoy the Harry Potter books, to say that they |
| 0:39.1 | are without their faults would be massively dishonest. In fairness, there are seven books |
| 0:43.7 | equating to over 4,000 pages, so mistakes are probably inevitable when you're dealing with |
| 0:49.0 | the story so long and so complex. But regardless of that, mistakes do exist. Specifically, I'm talking about |
| 0:56.0 | plot holes. Before we get stuck into it, I do think it's important to quickly define what a plot |
| 1:01.0 | hole actually is, because online, the term gets thrown around for basically everything. I know I've |

| 1:37.9 | logic genuinely gets shaky. And those are the ones we're going to be focusing on today. Plot holes |
| 1:43.0 | that still bother me in 2026, nearly 20 years later. |
| 1:47.6 | I know I know I need to get over it. |
| 1:49.8 | This is also part one of a series while we're breaking down plot halls in each book. |
