Were Crabbe and Goyle DEATH EATERS? - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re discussing Draco Malfoy’s lackeys Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle and whether or not they're DEATH EATERS. We first see these two goons pop-up right near the beginning of the Harry Potter story, standing there, dim-witted as ever, behind their gang leader Draco. While many friendships blossomed within the walls of Hogwarts, particularly in the first few years, It seems as though both Crabbe and Goyle were friends with Draco before their Hogwarts days- a fact that I’m sure can be attributed to their ties in the pure-blooded wizard community.  Crabbe and Goyle, proud Slytherins, certainly made the lives of many Hogwarts students miserable during their time at the school. With Draco at the helm of their gang, they even made a special point of making it their absolute priority to bully the famous trio- Harry, Ron and Hermione.  And in their later years, just a year or two shy from Hogwarts graduation, they took things a step further, transcending the title of traditional bully and instead becoming what could only be aptly described as full-blown criminals.  But one thing I’ve also wondered is whether or not Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle were teenage Death Eaters, just like their leader Draco Malfoy was. Were they rotten to the core like so many other dark wizards in the wizarding world? Or, was there salvation for these two boys? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
