Harry Potter was an English half-blood wizard, and one of the most famous wizards of modern times. Had he been arrested after the events of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", these are the criminal charges he would have faced.
Our exploration extends beyond fiction as we draw parallels to real-world scenarios. We examine cases of real-life criminals and their prosecutions, drawing on legal expertise to examine the likelihood of Harry’s criminal activities leading to actual charges.
Please note that the video you are about to watch is entirely fictional and is produced solely for the purpose of raising awareness on the consequences of committing a crime. The scenes depicted in this video are not real and do not reflect any actual events or persons. We do not condone or promote any illegal or unethical behaviour, and this video is intended to serve as a cautionary tale to deter individuals from engaging in criminal activity.

[@Emil-op9bb]

True

[@SirYwhach]

In Harry Potter 3, Vernon assaulted Harry and obstructed his way , Harry was defending himself using his wand. So he's not guilty of attempted murder, in fact, he never tried to harm anyone, the inflated lady wasn't intentional. In Harry Potter 5, Umbridge tried to torture Harry with Doloris (which is a crime she knows about), something she already did and tries to drug him with truth serum (also a crime), by not saving her from Kidnapping, he saved himself, so it doesn't count.

[@cinemacop]

Harry obviously knew what he was doing as he did it in response to the lady insulting his mum, and never attempted to help her - Vernon is Harry's legal guardian and was allowed to restrain Harry in a citizen's arrest if he suspected he had committed a crime.

@@cinemacop *I apologize for such a long comment, I looked up from my keyboard after typing it and realized how long it was. You don't have to read it if you don't want to.* In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, in response to Harry's disbelieve at the discovery he's a wizard, Hagrid asks him if there were any "strange things" that happened to him when he was "scared or angry". A witch/wizard's magic is highly undeveloped at a younger age, which is why students are officially admitted to Hogwarts after they turn 11. The Ministry of Magic may have sub laws in place that protect witches/wizards under a certain age so they don't catch the same charges as a full-time student on holiday. That would explain why the ministry never came for Harry when he performed underage magic before going to Hogwarts, because of these sub laws. It could potentially explain why no ministry officials were present at the Hut on the Rock while Hagrid was performing magic, for they could've suspected the magic to be Harry's doing. It's possible, however, that Dumbledore could've sent the Ministry a letter in advance explaining Harry's situation, in which case the Ministry would've ignored the happenings both at Privet Dr and the Hut.

It's not theft when they take back the Locket, Harry actually owns that, it was taken by RAB (since he got it, and it was Sirius' who owned it after he died, those making it Harry's when Sirius died) then stolen by Mundungus Fletcher, then Umbridge took it from him, and then Harry got it back.

[@Blokewood3]

It's complicated. True Umbridge doesn't own it, but neither did RAB. I think Voldemort stole it too, but he would argue that it was rightfully his as the last Skytherin. Can stolen property become un-stolen by stealing it again?

Only 44 years thats light for the amount of crimes

[@markwilson4078]

Just watched this video today. While true, I actually think his sentence would be even lighter than that if we’re being honest. I feel like some of the crimes that contributed to the 44 years he would not have charges pressed for. Some who were on his receiving end were people that either had already somewhat patched things up with him or they wouldn’t care enough to fight him in court over it. I wouldn’t even count out a pardon for him given he was the one who killed Voldemort.

[@LiamTVSports]

But in azkaban with dementors staring you down every minute. I don't think so. Sirius Black went insane from just 12 years

[@TheRealTricky]

The snake incident and blowing up aunt Marge: Harry had no proper control over his magic. That alone should clear him. (especially when you don't want him to become an obscurial). Attacking Snape: Of course, when it comes to "assisting an offender", Harry could only be charged for that as nobody believed Black was actually innocent. Freeing Buckbeak: By the letter of the law, yeah, that would be a crime. But by the letter of the law Buckbeak should never have been convicted in the first place. Dolores + Centaurs: The centaurs didn't act on Harry's orders nor did he ever take their presence (and anger) in mind. Umbridge made the fault herself to insult the centaurs. Now it can be said that Hermione tried to lure her to Grawp hoping he was get her, but even if that's true, it would be Hermione's crime not Harry as he had no idea what Hermione was up to. Harming Malfoy with Sectumsempra: Of course, Harry didn't know what his curse would do, but I do not know if THAT would be any valid excuse a lawyer could use in his favor. Hermione obliviating the Death-Eaters in the coffee shop: Well, my description says it all Now you forgot the most important crime that tops them all, and Harry did it multiple times. The usage of an unforgivable curse. And the usage of any of these curses will get you a one way ticket to Azkaban (Hermione and Barthy Crouch jr (disguised as Alastor Moody) even state that literally in the moves). So Harry would even without all other crimes having to serve a life long sentence in Azkaban anyway. A quick summary on the top of my memory: Cruciatus: - Bellatrix Lestrange, out of anger due to her murdering his godfather. He fails though, and Bellatrix even teaches him how to use an unforgivable curse properly (in order to mock him). - Amycus Carrow, out of anger due to him spitting in McGonagall's face Imperius: - We even see that in the video, but it was not noted as a crime. Killing Curse (aka Avada Kedavra): - The only unforgivable curse none of the trio members ever used at all, for quite obvious reasons.

[@Hive__]

From the battle of the ministry in Movie 5 onwards, they are at war and you could probably classify Harry as a Soldier, so would everything from then on still count as crimes or as acts of war and therefore need to be looked at from that POV?

[@TheVoidIsCold]

Maybe, but in the 7th book Voldemort wins and by that point onward Harry is no longer a soldier (though he wouldn't have been anyway, seeing as he is a minor), but rather an insurgent or a terrorist.

[@JKBDTS]

​@@velikan420He would be responsible if he could have expected it, but no person would ever expect to randomly make a glass disappear and appear again.

[@Mathma7]

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. It would be difficult to prove in court (magical or otherwise) that he had any intent to do that. He didn’t know magic was real yet let alone that he was a wizard; even if he had noticed that “weird” things tend to happen to him that doesn’t mean he attempted to take advantage of this penchant for weird shenanigans to free the snake. Just because he was happy about the eventual result, that does not prove that he caused the events.

[@Mathma7]

Compare this incident with Matilda Wormwood (from the Roald Dahl book)’s plot against Miss Trunchbull, in which she used her telekinetic powers. Her guilt is way more clear than Harry’s in the case of freeing the snake. Unlike Harry, Matilda a) was by that point in the story fully aware of her powers, b) had learnt to control them to a good degree, meaning any use of them was more than likely not accidental, and c) her plot against Trunchbull was planned, ie premeditated. By contrast, Harry a) had no idea at the time that he was a wizard/had powers, b) even if he was aware of the tendency for weird things to happen in his vicinity he couldn’t control his “weird luck” to kick in on command in exactly the way he wanted to (so even if he was internally wishing that the snake could be free, he couldn’t have assumed that that wish would be realised as a result), and c) did not go to the zoo with the intention of freeing the snake. Assuming that the reality of Matilda and Harry’s powers could be proved in court, it would be more reasonable for Matilda to be found guilty of her plot against Trunchbull than for Harry to be found guilty for freeing the snake. Either way, both are young kids, not even teenagers, when these incidents happened, so I doubt they’d get taken to court (unless Trunchbull actually died; her fate is left kind of unclear but I assume she was just scared out of town).

Magic performed by wandless wizard children is not criminalized, as Snape explains to Lily in a flashback. It is basically presumed to be accidental. This deference extends to some pretty serious conduct, as we see there are no consequences for the young Tom Riddle committing theft, animal cruelty, and perhaps even kidnap and torture.

[@countrycoffeecup7772]

Slavery is only illegal if your slave is human. People still enslave animals all over the world. Such as horses as transportation, or bulls to plow fields. (Although cars and tractors are much more popular in more developed nations.) Since house elves are not humans, their enslavement is not only legal by wizarding law, but by British law, too.

[@chanaraskin]

Very true. It wasn’t THAT long ago when humans were enslaved, and that was allowed until it was outlawed. The wizarding world has its own laws, so if slavery ever gets outlawed, only then would Harry or other owners of house elves be in trouble

[@liayn5476]

With some stuff I agree, but most of this is stuff you would just get expelled for or get baned from ever using a wand again, like Hagrid. And you have to keep in mind that most of this happend, while he was a minor, so there you would also have to adjust the verdicts.

Dolores Umbridge: *_infinity years at azkaban_* (like, imperiusing her into making a horcrux, then binding both that horcrux and her semi-mortal body to remain there forever)

[@marc68521]

1:56 Technically saying that if he didn’t leave before his bones healed back he might strangle him doesn’t count as threats. While this may sound dumb there are two things that make it not hold up. One he said if he doesn’t leave by x time which means there is an if there and two he said might. These two things make it not count and the reason I know this is because my brother is schizophrenic and made similar threats and when we called the cops to get help they said they couldn’t do anything because of those two reason. We had another issue where he said similar stuff in a fast food place full of people so plenty of witnesses and the cops gave us the same reason. (Different county than the first one)

[@Zombieslayer10668]

You forgot that Harry Potter used Cruccio against Bellatrix Lestrange in Movie 5 after Bellatrix Lestrange killed Sirius Black!!! So Harry Potter would face a Lifetime Sentence in Azkaban!!!

[@KadeStringer2.0]

That’s not true

[@curtisevans8413]

@@KadeStringer2.0 It is - the use of any of the three Unforgivable Curses is a life sentence in prison. Multiple people on both sides say it - Hagrid, Barty Crouch Jr, Barty Crouch Sr, Snape and I believe Neville Longbottom all make references to it being a life sentence. There are of course exceptions - if you can prove that there was good reason (i.e, an Auror uses one in the line of duty) or that you were under the influence of the Imperius Curse, you won't be prosecuted.

[@fee6362]

but the curse didn't work / didn't went off. So I guess it doesn't count? (I mean I know that usually it doesn't change anything, if you try to murder and fail due to you incompetence or not. But you have to keep in mind that it failed because he didn't want to do it.

[@borisglevrk]

uh actually Maggie's hot balloon case was later mentioned in the books that it was cleared by minister of magic himself.

[@paulevans9307]

The sentences would probably run concurrently, rather than consecutively. As a minor, he would end up in a YOI. If his defence to a muggle court was "I'm a wizard trying to stop bad wizards", he may end up with detention for treatment under the MHA. The prosecution would also need the CPS to be on board, and some of the issues raised in this video would likely not pass the public interest test.

we all know Harry is pure of heart, even though he has 44+ years in Askaban ☺

[@birdgirl87_]

I think you forgot the 2 times Harry used the cruciatus cures, which would’ve landed him 5 years each

[@marshallpeters7174]

Crucio is actually punishable by life imprisonment. He only actually used it one time that counted, though.

[@therealmcbong8446]

So we're just gonna ignore the fact that he used the cruciatus curse on Bellatrix in OOTP for which he would get life in Azkaban?

[@Zvenygora]

After 7:22 it makes no more sense, he spelled Cruciatus on Bella, it’s a life sentence :D

1:01 harry did that accidentally and Dudley got himself in there by pressing his face against the glass 1:22 he was excused from a lot of this stuff 2:01 if somebody caused you to loose a bone and ingure you would you also threaten the thing responisble, what harry said was very just and wouldn’t of done it 2:32 it was a little sleepy juice and they were fine, they weren’t kidnapped but hidden till they awaken 2:59 this time it’s a joke Jim, a lot of people suffer from this every year, but harry and Ron just asked Draco some questions then left 3:29 kidnapping once again isn’t valid here as 3 of them jumped in there and Ron just made sure he stayed away from sharp objects till they left 3:58 the movie said these 2 actions wouldn’t send him to Azkaban 4:25 anyone could’ve used that entrance and people could’ve used the entrance before him

1:22 But it assumes he wasn't. 2:01 His life wasn't being threatened and he could tell an authority, so that's why it's illegal I think 2:32 Doesn't make it legal 2:59 Same as earlier 3:29 Not sure what you're trying to say, but this could be justified I think because they were saving Ginny 4:25 I don't think it justifies it.

0:59 Culpable and reckless conduct -> max punishment = life in prison, but the actual punishment depends on the circumstances. I've found an example of a 500 pound fine with no jail for throwing a cone of a bridge, causing an injury on a woman. Since no harm was actually done here, I'm gonna go with that. The false imprisonment was accidental and thus included in the reckless conduct. 1:20 I agree: breaking school rules -> expelled 2:00 Elves have no rights in the wizard world. -> no charge 2:31 You're using the Wizard prison of Azkaban for their sentences under the UK jurisdiction. That ain't right: 2× administering noxious substance + 2× kidnapping -> 2+y in British prison 2:58 Identity theft -> 6+m in British prison 3:28 kidnapping + reckless endangerment/conduct [taking Lockhart to the COS] -> 1+y in British prison + since the Chamber is very deadly, I'm gonna go with the max punishment of life in British prison. 3:57 Aunt Marge was an accident, so reckless conduct. "Keep away from me" is not assault, more of a threat. -> The severity of the reckless conduct is hard to determine, but since it was accidental, I'm gonna go easy on him and just give him the 500 pound fine. + 6+m in British prison 4:25 Breach of privacy + criminal trespass -> 6+m in British prison 4:43 3× assault -> 6+m in British prison 5:08 Battery + assisting an offender -> I'll grant that this is not British, but magic jurisdiction, so yeah, 1y+ in Azkaban 5:28 Preventing course of justice -> Also magic jurisdiction, so 6+m in Azkaban 5:46 Assist in escape of lawful custody -> Magic jurisdiction, so 1+y in Azkaban 6:50 Burglary + Assessory to kidnapping + not assisting escape from danger -> >4.5+y in British prison 7:10 Theft + burglary + flying unregistered vehicles + flying with no license -> I'm gonna go with 5y in prison for the flying, 'cause that's the punishment for flying a drone 5.5+y in British prison + 1+y in Azkaban [The burglary is in a wizard government facility, so their jurisdiction 7:39 Grievous bodily harm -> 1.5+y in British prison 8:07 Self defense + having others pretend they're him (identity fraud) + flying unregistered vehicle -> I'm gonna go light on him with the identity fraud, so minimum of 5y -> 10y in British prison Also, at this point, Voldemort is in control of the wizarding government and Harry is a fugitive. However, at the time of the story, there was no extra punishment for being a fugitive. 8:28 Actual bodily harm -> 2+y in British prison. Also, technically, those people, as well as Voldemort at 8:07 are officers of the law, as explained above. Therefore, he is not acting in self defense, but actually 2× resisting arrest + 3× attacking an officer of the law -> 2×2y + 3×2y in Azkaban -> 10y in Azkaban 8:51 Elves have no rights, so no coercion and -1 kidnapping. 1× kidnapping -> 1+y in British prison 9:18 3× battery + 3× kidnapping -> 4.5+y in Azkaban [they're members of the wizarding government] 9:34 Identity theft + burglary -> 1.5+y in Azkaban [wizard government] 10:00 Causing public nuisance + contempt of court -> 1y in Azkaban 10:08 Actual bodily harm + theft -> 1.5+y in Azkaban 10:44 Kidnapping + bank robbery + using unforgivable curse -> life + 3+y in Azkaban 11:03 Manslaughter + theft -> 2.5+y in Azkaban 11:30 4× manslaughter + aggrevated criminal damage -> 9+y in Azkaban Also: he tried to cast Crucio on Bellatrix -> life in Azkaban Also also: he stole and flew the flying car -> 5.25y in British prison Also also also: He was flying on Buckbeak, another unregistered vehicle -> 5y in British prison Total crimes: > British jurisdiction: - 3× Culpable and reckless conduct - 2× Administering noxious substance - 4× Kidnapping - Identity theft - Threatening - Breach of privacy - Criminal trespass - 3× Assault - Burglary - Assessory to kidnapping - Not assisting escape from danger - 2× Theft - 4× Flying unregistered vehicles + with no license - Grievous bodily harm - Identity fraud - Actual bodily harm > Wizard jurisdiction: - Breaking school rules (countless accounts) - Battery - Assisting an offender - Preventing course of justice - Assist in escape of lawful custody - 2× Burglary - 2× resisting arrest - 3× attacking an officer of the law - 3× battery - 4× Kidnapping - Identity theft - Causing public nuisance - Contempt of court - Actual bodily harm - 2× Theft - Bank robbery - 2× Unforgivable curse - 5× Manslaughter - Aggrevated criminal damage Total sentence: Expelled from Hogwarts, 39.75y + life in British prison, 56.5y + 2× life in Azkaban, 1000 pound fine.
