The whole theory stems around the Tale of Three Brothers

Stopped reading there.

Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows "Three Brothers Story"

Okay so as the old fan theory goes:

Lord Voldemort represents the first brother who asks for a wand more powerful than any other. Of course, that power proves to be his downfall.

Severus Snape represents the second brother, who asks for a tool to resurrect loved ones, and gets a stone from Death.

Harry Potter represents the third brother, described in the fable as a humble man who only asks to live a long happy life without the fear of Death. In the fable, Death bestows an invisible cloak upon the third brother, which protects him (but not his brothers) from his end. So Harry Potter is the boy who cheated death, makes sense, right?

The Dumbledore Theory

Death searched for the third brother for years, and was only able to find him after the brother gave his cloak of invisibility to his son. When Death shows up, the third brother greets him as an old friend and went off with him gladly, “departing this life, as equals.”

So what harryjxmespotter adds to this old fan theory is the suggestion that Professor Albus Dumbledo represents Death in this fable.


Its a fun fan theory at very least. I don’t believe that Harry Potter author JK Rowling has ever talked about the possible allegories. She has said that The Tale of the Three Brothers is loosely based on Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Pardoner’s Tale, but it also feels partly inspired by Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Actually, the entire story is in Harry's head. He was committed after he attacked his family with delusions of an owl delivering letters. The entire Voldemort villain IS Harry struggling to deal with him being mentally insane.

I enjoyed HP but come on the books are not that deep. Stop trying already.

They are children's books, written for children. If you were excited to read the next Harry Potter book and you were an adult, you are a manchild. If you were excited about the movies, and were an adult, you are a manchild.

You're trying way too hard here.

It's all a conspiracy! It was an inside job!

Magic wands can't melt snake skin.

The best part of this post is that it comes from a fan of professional wrestling.

I can't really say I enjoyed HP as much as I was OK with it. I do think people are trying way too hard to make this series more than it ever was. Of course it doesn't help when the author keeps trying to milk it out by making statements about the series long after it was over.
