Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Today we're going to be taking a look at aspects of the Harry Potter

outright omitted. But now that so many years have passed, a lot of these movie misconceptions

Harry Potter books. How you perceive this video will depend entirely on how you engaged with the

series. For some, the films were too frustrating to finish, filled with inaccuracies that clashed

with the books, and by going down this path, their memory of the books, and more importantly,

accurate information, remained intact.

But for many others, the books and movies have blended together into one seamless version

of the story.

Harry Potter as a whole became an

amalgamation of both book and film, with the lines between them increasingly blurred.

And in many instances, these changes became so pervasive that they overwrote how nearly

Be honest.

Anyway, let's get started.
