Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory.
Today, we’re going to ONCE AGAIN (this is the FIFTH time I’m saying that now) be discussing
the events that transpired in the Harry Potter universe AFTER the books and films ended.
I have now made 4 separate videos on this topic to date, parts 1, 2, 3 and 4- which
each cover 10 separate characters and what they got up to post Deathly Hallows.
Between those 4 videos I’ve managed to cover..
Voldemort Neville
Hermione Ron
Harry George
Luna Hagrid
Draco The Dursleys
Umbridge Fudge
Lockhart Flitwick
Filch Ollivander
Kingsley Shacklebolt Pomona Sprout
Arthur / Molly Weasley Percy Weasley
Aberforth Dumbledore Fleur
Seamus Finnigan McGonagall

Grawp Rita Skeeter
Slughorn Dean Thomas

Madame maxime Bill weasley
Pansy parkinson Aunt marge

Today, I’m going to be continuing that trend and giving you part FIVE (and don’t worry,
there will be a part 6) of..WHAT HAPPENED to these 10 characters AFTER the war?
I’ll link parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the PINNED comment.
Without further ado, let’s dive in to the lives of 10 characters POST war, and POST
Deathly Hallows.
Newt Scamander
I know what you’re thinking?
NEWT SCAMANDER?
Isn’t he from the Fantastic Beasts films?
He isn’t in Harry Potter!
And if you thought that, well, you’d only be sort of right.
Sure enough, we don’t see Newt Scamander’s face in the Harry Potter films, but that certainly
doesn’t mean that he’s absent from the Harry Potter universe.
Newt is a famous magizoologist and the AUTHOR of Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them-
an APPROVED book at Hogwarts school, so you can bet that he’s kicking around somewhere.
To add to this, there’s actually a NEWT Easter Egg in the Harry Potter films where
he appears on the Marauder’s Map.
If you want to know the explanation for his presence there, well..you’re going to have
to watch my video on it.
Anyway, despite what some sources may say, Newt was very much alive AFTER the Deathly
Hallows book/film timeline had ended.
By the time the 1990s rolled around, Newt was pseudo-retired and living in Dorset with
Tina and their three pet Kneazles, Hoppy, Milly and Mauler.
I say pseudo-retired because Newt, a workaholic, continued several projects, including studying
Fire Slugs, and authoring a book entitled ‘A Children’s Anthology of Monsters’.
Newt eventually went on to become a great-grandfather when his grandson Rolf married Luna Lovegood
and had two children- Lorcan and Lysander.
Cho Chang
Cho Chang was a half-blood witch born in 1978 who attended Hogwarts from 1990-1997, where
she was sorted in to Ravenclaw house.
Cho was polite, well-liked and easy to get along with.
Cho is well known for her relationships with several male figures in the series including
Cedric Diggory and even Harry Potter himself.
After the death of Cedric, Cho was never quite the same, and as it turns out she ended up
marrying a MUGGLE upon graduation.
Perhaps this was just her way of escaping the madness of the wizarding world, particularly
after a lethal wizarding war.
There are some theories circling around the internet that Cho actually ended up marrying
DUDLEY DURSLEY of all people, but if you want to learn more about that whole situation then
watch my video on it.
Andromeda Tonks
Andromeda Tonks, born Andromeda Black of the house of Black, was an English witch that
married muggle-born Ted Tonks.
Together, her and Ted had a daughter- Nymphadora, who we know as a respected auror and member
of the order of the phoenix.
Andromeda, despite being a member of the house of Black, was not an evil witch, so it should
come as no surprise that she was disowned by her family, a group of pure-blood supremacists,
after she married a muggle-born.
Andromeda was also a good example of a Slytherin student that wasn’t and didn’t turn bad.
Tragically, many of Andromeda’s family members died during the events of the Deathly Hallows,
including her Husband Ted and her Daughter Nymphadora.
With Nymphadora leaving behind a son, Teddy, who she had with her husband Remus Lupin,
Andromeda was left to take care of him.
Moaning Myrtle
Myrtle Warren, AKA Moaning Myrtle, was a muggle-born witch born in either 1928 or 1929.
Myrtle attended Hogwarts from 1940–1943, some of the same years as Voldemort, and was
eventually killed in 1943 by Slytherin’s basilisk under Tom Riddle's orders.
After the incident, she became a ghost who haunted the second-floor girls' bathroom.
Despite being well, DEAD, Myrtle became quite a prominent character in the Harry Potter
series, known for her strange interactions with Harry.
The last time Harry saw Myrtle, however, was when she was ordered to leave the bathroom
by Severus Snape.
Though there is nothing in Harry Potter canon indicating what happened to Myrtle, it’s
worth mentioning that she does appear in the Cursed Child, where she can be found still
haunting the bathroom.
Xenophilius Lovegood
Xenophilius was the husband of the late Pandora Lovegood and father to fan-favourite Luna
Lovegood.
Xenophilius was also notably the creator of the Quibbler magazine.
During the second wizarding war, Luna was captured by the Death Eaters, which prompted
a desperate Xenophilius to alert Death Eaters during a visit from Harry Potter in the hopes
that they would release Luna.
After Harry, Ron and Hermione escaped his home, Xenophilius was promptly arrested and
sent to Azkaban.
He was finally released after Voldemort's defeat on the 2nd of May 1998.
Not much is known of what happened to Xenophilius after that, but it’s likely that he continued
on with the Quibbler and occasionally took care of his grandsons.
Katie Bell
Katie Bell was a British half-blood witch born in the year 1979.
She was a member of Gryffindor house, and represented the house on the quidditch pitch-
taking on the role of Chaser.
She was a year above Harry, and we see her name mentioned here and there throughout the
franchise- however, her character was never really brought to the forefront of our attention
until the Half-Blood Prince, when, while on a trip to Hogsmeade, Katie suffered a brutal
attack from an unidentified curse.
Because it took Katie six months to recover, she ended up returning to Hogwarts in 1997-1998
to repeat her seventh year.
Katie, along with others, fought valiantly in the Battle of Hogwarts, and was seen sitting
after the battle with Cho, Padma and Leanne.
Nooone knows what happened to Katie after that.
Bane
Bane was a centaur who lived in the Forbidden Forest Centaur colony along with Firenze.
Though the centaurs did not initially join the Battle of Hogwarts, they were later shamed
in to it after Hagrid called Bane a coward.
Not much is known of what happened to Bane, but we do know he survived the battle.
Bane also appears in the Cursed Child, acto two, scene 5- when Harry Potter is looking
for his son Albus.
Winky
Winky was a fan favourite character that was omitted from the films entirely, a female
house-elf that served the Crouch family for many years and later worked at Hogwarts.
At one stage in Winky’s life, she fell in to a depression after she felt that she had
failed to service Barty Crouch, which resulted in a drinking problem.
Her addiction to butterbeer was a problem for many years.
Led by Kreacher, Winky did end up helping to fight against the Death Eaters during the
battle of Hogwarts alongside other house-elves.
After the war had ended, Winky continued to work at Hogwarts and, fortunately, ended up
beating her butterbeer addiction.
Poppy Pomfrey
Poppy Pomfrey, also known as Madam Pomfrey, was the matron at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft
and Wizardry, responsible for taking care of the students and staff of the school.
However, as it turns out, Pomfrey wasn’t JUST responsible for HEALING people, as she
fought valiantly alongside her students and coworkers in the battle of Hogwarts, taking
down AT LEAST 1 death eater herself.
After the battle, we can only assume that Madam Pomfrey returned to her regular post,
tending to the various medical maladies that came through the doors of the Hogwarts hospital
wing.
If you want to go by Cursed Child Canon, then we do actually know for certain that she was
still working at the school in 2020.
Mundungus Fletcher Mundungus Fletcher was a half-blood wizard
with a rich history of criminal activity.
There aren’t many positive ways to describe Mundungus as a person, as throughout the story
he always seemed to be getting in to trouble and getting on people’s bad sides.
Mundungus is even partly responsible for the death of Moody, as he abandoned him during
the battle of the Seven Potters.
He also shamelessly raids 12 Grimmauld place- looting and selling all of the valuables that
lay within.
After being confronted by Harry for this, he disapparated and went into hiding.
That is, until he was imprisoned in Azkaban for impersonating an inferius.
It’s unlikely that Mundungus played any part in the Battle of Hogwarts, and it’s
likely that he simply returned to his life as a questionable (and unauthorized) dealer
of magical artefacts.
And that’s it for this video!
