Before Harry Potter ever stepped foot in Hogwarts..And even before Voldemort killed his parents, there was a whole other story—one of dark wizards, ancient secrets, and magical wars.
This is everything that came before.
So settle in, brace yourselves, and let’s wind back the clock on Wizarding History.

Is it possible to combine multiple wand cores to make a truly unique core?
Petition for a Merlin movie with the founders.
not to mention the global wozarding war and fantastic beasts lore, I really appreciate your efforts about all the details bringed on the first WW until end of the story
Great documentary but You have skipped all the goblin rebelion following the core of hogwarts legacy, I tought you were considering the game history as canon.
Didn’t the ring come before the diary??? lol like look at the tom riddle in slughorns memory and look at the tom in the Chamber and tell me he hasn’t grown…….😂😂😂😂😂
That’s why he’s asking slughorn and fumbling around with the ring …..then a student dies and that’s weeks after he asks about the darkest form of magic that involves killing somebody haha. 32:10
Sooo Voldemort wasn’t his 50s when the first war started?
I really appreciate the way you keep things engaging with original, well-considered content. This video in particular struck me as especially clever.
Awesome stuff as usual. I’d love to hear your theory on something… in the beginning of Chamber of Secrets, Dobby was able to locate Harry notwithstanding Lily’s protective charm. Why is that? Because he didn’t want to do Harry harm? Or because his house elf magic can beat even ancient magic? (e.g. Dobby disapperating from Malfoy Manor). If the latter, why in the world would dark (and rich) wizards not frequently use their house elves to circumvent such powerful “good” ancient magic?!
What about the history from Hogwarts Legacy?
Happy subscriber here! This is a wonderful presentation. Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
It really is a shame that the Fantastic Beast movies were such missteps. The lore was already there, I still don't understand why they had to muck it up with those films.
31:38 I disagree that Myrtle Warren was the victim that resulted in the first Horcrux. Read the book again, and you'll see that Tom went to Little Hangleton during the "summer of his 16th year," which means he was 15 years old when he murdered the Riddle family and imbued the Peverell ring with a fragment of his soul and framed Morfin Gaunt for the murders. It was nearly a year later that Myrtle was killed, making the diary the second Horcrux.
This is great history. Really great history. Everything that happened. Thanks. Great message at the end😊
Apparently there are 6,550 muggles to 1 witch/wizard.
Top quality thank you! Very enjoyable 😀
18:30 yeahh he didn't create them he used some sort of interdimentional spell to bring over the nazgul from middle earth in arda…they don't just look like them, they have the same effect on people as the nazgul if u look it up
Was Voldemort actually obsessed with Pureblood Supremecy? We know his followers were, but was it ever confirmed that he himself was also driven by that?
When it comes to Wizarding World History, you certainly have the advantage over Professor Binns. Brilliant work.
For some reason, it wasn't until this video that I realized how Tom Riddle created Horcruxes from Salazar's locket, Helga's cup, and Rowena's Diadem, but not Godric's sword.
Considering this, in the Deathly Hallows, would the Trio have been unsuccessful in destroying the locket and Neville Nigini if Godric's sword had also managed to become a horcrux?
😎👋🏾 Thanks for this 👍🏾
Sorting hat helped him pick pure bloods where did that info come from because it didn’t last lol
Here for it I absolutely love your Harry Potter videos❤
What a wonderful video. Great effort, great narration – your voice really is amazing for this kind of video.
Very well done.
It’s honestly a little sad thinking about the vast lore created for the Wizarding World and how little actual media we have gotten from it over the years. I really feel like they could have built an immense franchise easily rivaling Star Wars, LotR and the likes. Kind of crazy to think about.
A channel like this, able to churn out the content you do – imagine if there had been a Marauders series;
a sequel crime-style series of Harry and Ron revamping the Aurors office solving wizard crimes whilst following Hermione and Ginnys careers and their families being created.
Imagine like NCIS-style or something, but with Harry and Ron being aurors eventually running the place, innovating wizard dueling and auror work. Literally drooling at the thought.
a series/movies of Hogwarts creation;
an “old tales” styles series of a bunch of short stories about Herpo the Foul, the three brothers, and so on.
children’s series bringing “Rabbity Babbity and the Cackling Cauldron” to life (am I remembering the title correctly?) and other stories could be created and brought to life as children’s stories;
could even create a full-on Quidditch series following two rival teams; maybe even a Krum origin or the very creation of Quidditch;
nd if you want to get really wacky, a Wizarding reimagining retelling of Merlin and Morgana.
Tri Wizard Tournament series showing its formation and all the tournaments until its ban. I always felt the movie rushed the tournament, so it would be really cool with a season of like 5 episodes per tournament. Introduce the characters, have a full episode per trial, then close it up with a final episode – next season. I am literally so stoked for this, and it’s not even a reality :-(.
Fantastic Beasts was such a let-down. Crammed too much into it. It should have been about Newt saving beasts with DDs help, focus on his relationship with LeStrange and his brother. DD v Grindelwald should have been a full-on story about Albus’ life that culminated in his duel with Grindelwald. Should have been two separate stories.
Man, can you imagine.. couldn’t you just imagine? If we had gotten all this instead of (or alongside) all the Marvel Universe movies? Boy oh boy, just thinking about it I feel like a kid in a candy store..
Anyways, fantastic video. Thank you for making it!
Delightful story, Thank You for sharing! I enjoyed very much.
We need a founder’s prequel series on HBO or a movie series.
Absolutely loved this long-format video! Your soothing voice makes the narration so relaxing, and for people like me who’ve been waiting for new official Harry Potter content, this really hits the spot.
So, Hogwart Legacy is not canonical?
Always hated writing that wizards feared people so much that they hide existence of magic. Like come on you're freaking wizards
🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁LION takes LIKE Number 67
Hbo should have you do a cameo
The History of the Wizardly World is Fascinating and has so much Depth and Lore that it makes us want to see more of it.
No time turner reference at the start?
