5 HUGE Harry Potter Plot Holes in Prisoner of Azkaban

from Harry Potter Theory · host Harry Potter Theory

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. So far in this series we’ve covered Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets (parts 1 and 2, go check those out if you haven’t already), and if there’s one thing that’s abundantly clear it’s that the deeper you dig into these books, the more strange little contradictions and logical issues you start uncovering. And in that respect, Prisoner of Azkaban might be the most interesting one yet. Because unlike the first two books, Azkaban introduces concepts that fundamentally change how the wizarding world works..For example, time travel suddenly exists? To be fair: Prisoner of Azkaban is still one of the best books in the series. In fact, for many fans, it’s THE best. And there’s a reason people love it so much. But at the same time, there are some real issues here. Topics Covered In This Video: Prisoner of Azkaban plot holes explained Why Time-Turners create problems for the entire Harry Potter series The Marauder’s Map & Peter Pettigrew inconsistency How Fred & George used the Marauder’s Map Lupin’s werewolf transformation contradiction explained Why Sirius Black never received a proper trial Veritaserum, Pensieves & magical truth verification Wizarding World lore inconsistencies & theories Harry Potter lore analysis & explanations Questions Answered: Why didn’t wizards use Time-Turners to stop future tragedies?
