A New Beginning: What Happened to the Wizarding World AFTER Voldemort's Defeat?

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be discussing what happened to the Wizarding World AFTER the climactic defeat of Lord Voldemort in the Deathly Hallows.  After a period of total chaos, a sudden silence fell over the Hogwarts grounds. The menacing lord of darkness, Voldemort, was finally defeated. Victory brought a fresh morning glimmer, marking an end to the fear and terror that the dark lord had spread across the wizarding world. But even though Voldemort’s reign was short lived, his time in power was more than long enough to spread a veil of darkness over the once-vibrant wizarding world. Lives were lost, institutions crumbled, and the inhabitants of the wizarding world were reminded of what darkness was capable of. And in times like this, the darkest of times, it would be wise for the wizarding population to follow the sage advice of Albus Dumbledore, the man that always reminded us to "turn on the light".  Voldemort’s defeat was a glorious occasion for the good guys, but as the light of victory settled a new (and colossal task) dawned on the wizarding world- the reconstruction of a fractured world and the healing of a society bruised by Voldemort's regime. But if the Phoenix has taught us anything, it’s that it is after the fall from the flames that we rise again, stronger than ever. The ashes of defeat had fallen; now, it was time for the magical world to rise.  I’ve done a video in the past discussing what happened to each and every character from the series in the post war era *show video on screen*, but today we’re going to be honing in on wizarding society as a whole. What happened to Hogwarts? The Ministry of Magic? Diagon Alley? Without further ado, let’s uncover the rebirth of wizarding society. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
