7 Major Events BEFORE The Harry Potter Story Started

Just recently I made a video on 7 things that occur after the Harry Potter story ended, that is, after the books and films concluded. This helped to introduce an element of closure to those who were wondering what may have happened next for Hogwarts, the trio, and the Wizarding World at large.
And today we’re going to be sticking to that same theme but flipping it on its head, exploring major events and wizarding conflicts that occured PRIOR to the first few iconic pages of the story that we’ve come to know and love.
This video marks the beginning of a 4-part series, during which we will explore nearly 30 major Wizarding World events in chronological order.

If Slytherin got his way, considering how widespread the pure-blood wizards are, school would be a glorified family reunion.

[@Bacon_Pancakes]

If slytherin got his way this would just be another entry in the wrong turn franchise. 😂

[@didreams969]

.. with pure blood mating only pure bloods, the gene pool would shrink and continue shrinking until disabilities and deformities occurred

[@daveschmidt9230]

if the sorting hat would only choose pure bloods for Slytherin how did Tom Riddle get picked ,because we know that Toms father was a muggle so what is going on

[@charleswasilausky4289]

It probably sensed Slytherins powers

[@daveschmidt9230]

@@charleswasilausky4289 so if the person has a little bit of slytherins blood the pure blood thing doesn't matter?

[@LyleFrancisDelp]

Heir of Slytherin.

[@slytheringingerwitch]

Remember that the Sorting hat takes in your personal choice. Tom Riddle would have wanted to be in Slytherin so that would have helped.

4:36 as a former Survival Instructor.. the picture of Virginia Creeper just sparked some old anxiety 😂😅

[@madamastersgaming]

Salazar was considered brutal but equally wise. With how lax and more understanding people were about the presence of magic in medieval times, magic and non-magic people coming together had to have brought his pride to question and likely gave him great concern. With such a significant societal change would put anybody in such a shock. In the end, he ended up falling from grace and turned to the dark side and took the nuclear decision. I wonder which path he would have taken if he gave the other founders and muggleborns time to convince him

[@mecahhannah]

Thanks for another fascinating history lesson that rivals any of Professor Binns. It is disheartening that despite the fact you consistently commit hours of time every week into these brilliant videos, the majority of viewers can't even hit the "subscribe" button to show a little support. This channel you've conjured deserves more recognition than it receives but as long as the magical have lived in the muggle world, they and their abilities tend to be overlooked, misunderstood, and under-appreciated.

I love Quiddich! I'm so addicted! My aunt makes the best quiddich ever! With baby spinach, plum tomatoes, and applewood bacon, bakes it at 375 for 25 minutes and finishes it with grated parmesan!

The number of luck. And also, its the favorite number of Final Fantasy 7 and Halo.

[@bethanyscott4034]

Great video

[@michaellovisotto627]

This will probably be buried, but contrary to popular belief, Salazar Slytherin did not hate muggleborns, he did not trust them because they came from a society that persecuted wizards. Because he did not trust them he did not feel that they should educate them. Later members of his family tree took that to me that he hated them. There is no evidence in the books, that Slytherin hated Muggleborns. Also while Slytherin House did not take Muggle Borns, The sorting hat did select mini half bloods, i.e. Snape.

[@spookyo0423]

I'm hoping these events is what they follow for the hogwarts legacy timeline

[@stephenjohn7473]

4:01 Romans didn’t come to Britain until the first century BC under Julius Caesar so the first wand makers shop being in Britain several centuries before that after arriving with the Romans…doesn’t track.

[@SuperRangerGuy1]

most of the info you're mentioning you've already mentioned it in a variety of other prior videos; mostly when it comes to the different topics (Horcrux, evil wizards, & so on)

[@nightwing4457]

Yeah it’s a very phoned in video. All this information is pretty well known. Nothing that sticks out.

[@Pawts]

Nice video! Hmm... I am not sure if this has been answered yet... But is there some sort of thing that makes magical witches and wizards, well... magical? Like in Star Wars, they had midichlorians for force sensitive people, how about in the Wizarding World?

[@idapetersson345]

Well, I guess it's genes. You either have the magical gene or you don't. That being said, I'd say the gene is recessive since you can carry the gene but not be magical (like Hermione's parents) but then the gene shows in your kid (like Hermione)

Scared POTTAH???

[@zero11010]

What did that basilisk live on for a thousand years? There were a few dozen … maybe a couple hundred small rodent looking bodies in a small section of the chamber. Unless that GIANT thing ate one rat every year … it seems like it needs more. In a thousand years it never got out? In a thousand years it never intentionally broke out through those sewers? This seems like magic Hagrid would love. Keep a giant thing calm and basically not needing food for a thousand years.

[@RensCommonRoom]

There's just so much lore to be explored that they could continue movies, shows, animations, etc. forever. I really hope they all continue this recent hype to make HP the best franchise again.

[@tubthenub2488]

There is only so much HP videoes u can make. Feels like I watch the same videos twice a week at this point

That Greek wizard likely learned it from a Sumerian or Mesopotamian wizard.

Why are we pretending it’s hard to make a horcrux? Voldemort didn’t even mean to make Harry Potter one. So, he did it by accident. You ever mow a lawn by accident? No? So, making a horcrux is easier than mowing a lawn.

[@Dariogrossi0]

with all due respect, and a love for your work, why does it feel and looks like you're just doing your old videos again?

[@HarryPotterTheory]

Hey there, I was just away for a few weeks so in order to stay on top of things posted a fair number of compilation-style videos. However, there's lots of new content on the way. I appreciate your comment and thanks for sticking around.

What do you mean? The channel grows every month!

[@eaterofwords]

⁠@@HarryPotterTheoryusually you used to get at least 7,000 views in the same time you got this many, channel growth is usually very significant in this, resulting in the fact that even the people who never run out of content eventually fall off of their normal amount of views.

[@HarryPotterTheory]

Every channel experiences ebbs and flows in viewership..It's subject to topicality, seasonality etc, and not every video can be a winner! 7k views in 2 hours would be GREAT viewership for me and has certainly never been the standard. Month over month the channel has actually been improving a fair bit lately.
