Hermione is Harry's sister theory

So yesterday, I shared some of my favorite Harry Potter fan theories, but told you I was saving my favorite for today.

My absolute favorite fan theory is that Hermione is actually Harry's older sister.  That she was placed, for her protection, with the Grangers, and it is because of her that Harry is safe at Hogwarts (the protection charm, like the one placed on Privet Drive), and that she knows it.

This site does a great job of breaking down the theory, but I'll share some of the highlights.

*They are 10.5 months apart in age (Hermione was born the September prior to Harry).

*Hermione's overall protective nature towards Harry, even going so far as to answer for him.

*The fact that the Granger's are not explored as characters, like the Weasleys, Neville's grandmother or even Hagrid's family.  

*How seemingly easy it was for Hermione to drop everything and help Harry, to the point of ruining a vacation with her "parents".

*How she knew almost everything about Harry when they first met, even though she'd only known she was magical for about 2 weeks.

*No romantic feelings on either end towards each other

Now, I don't know about you, but this made my heart happy and brain explode just a little.  I will now wait patiently for JK Rowling to announce on Pottermore that this is true and make my world a little brighter.

Harry Potter Theories

One of my new favorite things is to read Harry Potter fan theories.  And honestly, they make sense.  I admire the thought that went into these.  I would never have picked up on some of them, but once you read them, the books and movies take on a whole new light.

There are so many out there, all you have to do is type "Harry Potter theory" into google (or your search engine of choice) and you get so many links!

Some of my favorites:
*The Ronbledore Theory---Ron Weasley and Dumbledore are the same time-traveling person (here)
*Since Voldemort was defeated, Harry Potter is now immortal (here)
*What I call the "Draco COS Theory" (you'll never watch or read #2 the same way)
*The "Draco is a Werewolf Theory" (both on the same page here)
*The super sad, "It was all in Harry's Head" theory (here and here)
*Neville was the Chosen One (here)
*Snape's first words to Harry were an apology for his mother's death (here)
*In Azkaban, the prisoners become dementors (here)

Most of the links above have multiple theories listed, so you may see the same over and over again.  I just wanted to share different places where I had seen theories, not to push one site over another.


My ultimate favorite will be shared tomorrow.  It's that good.  It needs it's own day.
