Over the last few months, I’ve made a dedicated video for each of the seven Harry Potter books, breaking down five plot holes in each.
And today, since I’m going away for 10 days — to Scotland- the HP motherland of all places — I thought I’d put together a compilation bringing them all together. That means we’re going book by book, from The Philosopher’s Stone to The Deathly Hallows, and revisiting 35 moments where the rules of the Wizarding World don’t quite hold up.
