Harry Potter conspiracies

By: Haneyah

It’s probably false because the cat doesn’t turn into him [Regulus Black] in the films

Taran, 13
They [Harry, Snape and Voldemort] could be descendants of the 3 originals brothers.

Hiba, 13
Harry's a descendant of Ignotus Peverell, who was once involved with the Deathly Hallows, and Snape and Voldemort are significant characters so it makes sense.

Aleena, Year 8

1. Draco Malfoy is a werewolf:

This theory is common and well known! The theory explains how just like Lupin, Draco was bitten by a werewolf as a child; turning him into the werewolf. Malfoy comes from a dark lineage and his own racism and hatred begins to eat away at him. Did Fenrir Greyback, one of the dark lord’s minions, nibble on Malfoy because he had failed Voldemort? This is one of the Dark Lord’s punishments of disappointing children of Death Eaters, and could explain why Malfoy is so tormented.

2. Crookshanks is Regulus Arcturus Black:

This theory is not one of the most commonly known, the theory that Regulus Black-brother of notorious mass murderer Sirius Black-is actually Hermione’s fluffy tabby cat, Crookshanks. Just like Sirius, Regulus may be an unregistered animagi (they can turn into animals at their own will.) This might explain why in Prisoner of Azkaban, Crookshanks is taken to Padfoot (Sirius as a dog.)

3. Harry, Snape and Voldemort are the 3 Deathly Hallows brothers:

This theory speculates around the fact that Harry, Snape and Voldemort are the 3 brothers in the Deathly Hallows. It makes sense because Voldemort died like the first brother, for power, Snape for love, like the second brother, and when Harry died briefly and came back to life in the Deathly Hallows part2, he greeted death like an old friend just like the brothers in the story.

Do you believe any of these theories? Ask yourself, are they treacherous or true?
