“Unlocking Secrets: Mind-Bending Harry Potter Theories That Redefine the Wizarding World’s Legacy!”
Hagrid Couldn’t Have Kids
Hagrid is a hybrid and is half human, half giant. Since most hybrids are sterile, some Harry Potter fans believe that Hagrid was never able to father children of his own. Some think that this is why he is very attached to the animals and students at the school.
Could it be that Hagrid has longer to be a father but could never actually have children of his own? Some fans believe so!
The Class Sizes Were Small For A Reason
J.K. Rowling has previously explained that there are “about a thousand students at Hogwarts.” That equates to about 35 students in each house each year, but in Harry’s year there are only about 10 students. One theorist believes this is because of Voldemort.
The Hogwarts Class of 1998 might have had less students because there weren’t as many wizards having children during Voldemort’s reign of power from 1979-1981. Many wizards went into hiding or were killed, so many would likely have chosen not have kids.
Arthur Weasley Was Under The Imperius Curse
Arthur has worked for years in the Ministry of Magic without promotion, despite coming from one of the oldest, pure-blood wizarding families. Some people have theorized that he has long been under the Imperius curse to keep Arthur at bay in the ministry, and keep his family from growing too strong.
Barty Crouch Jr. (disguised as Mad-Eye Moody_ seems to support this theory. In The Goblet of Fire, Ron mentions that his father told him about the Imperius curse and Crouch replies, “Your father would know all about that.”
