Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.
Today, we’re going to be discussing, for the sixth time, the events that transpired
in the Harry Potter universe AFTER the books and films ended.
I have now made 5 separate videos on this topic to date, parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5- which
each cover 10 separate characters and what they got up to post Deathly Hallows.
Between those 5 videos I’ve managed to cover..

…And I’m not stopping!
Today, I’m going to be continuing that trend and giving you part SIX of..WHAT HAPPENED
to these 10 characters AFTER the war?
I’ll link parts 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the PINNED comment.
I’ve got just enough characters left for a part 7 as well, so keep an eye out for that
in the near future.
Without further ado, let’s dive in to the lives of 10 characters POST war, and POST
Deathly Hallows.
Rolanda Hooch
Rolanda or Madam Hooch is a British witch who is speculated to have been born sometime
before the year 1918.
There isn’t THAT MUCH information available on her, and she doesn’t appear in the books
or films very much.
HOWEVER, she is very important in that she is the one responsible for teaching the students
their foundational knowledge of flying broomsticks.
Not only that, but Madam Hooch is a quidditch referee- an aerial sport- really, her whole
world revolves around flying.
Which is why it shouldn’t surprise you that, after the war had ended, Madam Hooch simply
returned to her post at Hogwarts where she continued to teach flying and referee Quidditch
for many years to come.
Elphias Doge
Elphias Doge is a British pure-blood wizard born in either 1880 or 1881.
Notably, Doge was a close friend of Dumbledore, their friendship first blossoming during their
schoolboy years.
While at Hogwarts, Doge came down with a bad case of Dragon Pox- causing everyone to avoid
him, except of course for Dumbledore.
Elphias was an active member of the order of the phoenix (in both wars) and ministry
of magic jurist.
Poison-piece specialist Rita Skeeter would often refer to Doge as ‘dim-witted’, however,
that’s likely only due to his lack of cooperation during the writing of Skeeter’s magnum opus:
‘The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore’.
In fact, Doge, a special advisor to the wizengamot, was quite the opposite of ‘dim-witted’,
and lived out the rest of his days serving the British Ministry for magic, arguing with
great aunt Muriel, and missing his dear friend Albus Dumbledore.
Kreacher
Kreacher was a male house-elf, born in an unknown year, who loyally served the House
of Black for the majority of his life, that is, until he was left with Harry Potter after
the death of Sirius.
Before this, however, Kreacher was known to be fiercely loyal to Sirius’s brother, Regulus,
who he shared a special bond with.
After the death of Regulus, Kreacher was a bit lost, never learning to properly respect
his new master, Sirius.
However, Kreacher did eventually come to respect Harry- who treated him extremely well.
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Kreacher led the house elves in to the fray against Lord
Voldemort and his followers.
Kreacher ended up surviving the battle, and from that point entered in to full-time service
of the Potter family.
In 2017, J.K.
Rowling revealed that Kreacher did eventually die at the tender age of 666.
Where he was at that time is anyone’s guess.
Viktor Krum
Viktor Krum is a Bulgarian wizard born in 1976, perhaps best-known for competing against
Harry, Fleur and Cedric in the triwizard tournament- representing his school Durmstrang.
Krum was an exceptionally gifted Quidditch player, and was the seeker for the Bulgarian
national Quidditch team at the tender age of 18.
In 1994, he played in the final of the Quidditch World Cup, and he was still just a student!
Krum continued to play Quidditch for many years before his eventual retirement following
the Bulgarian team’s defeat in the 2002 World Cup final.
However, this retirement didn’t last long, as Krum came out of retirement to compete
in the 2014 World Cup.
Famously, the Bulgarian team won that year’s cup, beating out Brazil in the finals.
Krum retired a true Quidditch legend.
John Dawlish
John Dawlish is a British pure-blood wizard and ministry of magic employee who served
the institution as an auror.
For most of his career, Dawlish worked directly underneath Cornelius Fudge, accompanying him
on various assignments.
Dawlish would also later work for ministers Rufus Scrimgeour and Pius Thicknesse.
Dawlish failed quite a few assignments towards the end of the second wizarding war- the most
likely reason being that he repeatedly faced far superior opponents- dumbledore, unfamiliar
situations -hagrid being a half giant, and continual placement under the confundus charm.
Not much is known of what happened to Dawlish following the war, but we do know that he
survived, and that he continued to act ‘not quite right’ for some time after- most likely
due to his repeated subjection to the confundus charm.
It’s unlikely that Dawlish was charged as a sympathizer of Voldemort, and it’s entirely
probable that, due to his brain damage, he ended up in St.Mungos.
Blaise Zabini
Blaise Zabini was a pure-blood wizard that attended Hogwarts around the same time as
Harry Potter.
He was a member of Slytherin house and was on good terms with Draco Malfoy and his gang.
Blaise was a quiet boy that mostly kept to himself- but, on occasion, would express his
extreme prejudice towards muggles, muggle-borns, and blood-traitors.
No one knows exactly what happened to Blaise post-war, but we do know that he probably
survived as most Slytherin students sat the battle out.
Given that Blaise was skilled in potion-making, progressing to the NEWT level in the subject,
it’s entirely possible that he pursued a career in potions.
Mrs Figg
Mrs Figg, aka Arabella Doreen Figg, was a Squib that lived near Harry Potter’s childhood
home on Privet Drive - the Dursley residence.
Given that she lived down the street from Harry, she would commonly babysit him- simultaneously
helping to keep an eye on him for Albus Dumbledore.
Though Mrs Figg did whatever she could to help the Order and good guys, as a squib it’s
unlikely that she participated in the battle of Hogwarts.
It wouldn’t have been safe for her there.
Given her affinity for furry feline companions,I like to imagine that Mrs Figg lived out the
rest of her days cross-breeding and trading part-kneazle cats.
Marcus Flint
Marcus Flint was a pure-blood wizard born in 1976 whose family name appeared on the
sacred 28- a list of 28 pure-blood wizarding families.
He attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from 1987 to 1994, and notably
served as Captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team from at least 1991 to 1994.
Flint was one of Harry’s quidditch rivals.
No one knows what happened to Marcus Flint, but given his affinity for the mockery of
others and inability to play nice, I doubt he got far.
There’s always the possibility he became a professional quidditch player, but I personally
don’t think that any teams would have welcomed him on board.
Ernie McMillan
Ernie Macmillan was a pure-blood wizard who attended Hogwarts during the same years as
Harry Potter.
Notably, Ernie was the one who suspected that Harry Potter was the Heir of Slytherin during
the opening of the Chamber of Secrets in his Second year.
That is, until Hermione was petrified and Ernie changed his mind- later apologizing
to Harry.
Ernie survived the Battle of Hogwarts, but not much is known of his later life.
I like to imagine that he stayed in touch with his good friends Hannah Abbott and Justin
Finch-Fletchley- which would also put him in Neville’s social circle (given that Hannah
was married to Neville).
Crookshanks
Crookshanks was Hermione’s half-kneazle pet cat that she purchased from Magical Menagerie
in 1993.
Crookshanks was a particularly intelligent cat, helping to expose Peter Pettigrew as
Scabbers.
Though Crookshanks is very cute and highly intelligent, it’s unlikely that he would
have been much help during the final battle of the war, so instead he stayed at the home
of the Weasley’s, the Burrow- waiting things out until everything had settled down.
He was later reunited with Hermione.
Given that Crookshanks was just a cat in a pet store that apparently, nobody wanted,
he really did make quite an impact on the story.
And that’s it for this video!
