After many years, the Wizarding World still holds an unholy number of mysteries both ridiculous and serious that keep Potterheads awake at night.

7. Who Runs The Wizarding Afterlife?

After dying, some wizards get forever stuck on Earth as ghosts while others get to enjoy the afterlife. But the big question is, who runs this afterlife in Harry Potter? Is it some powerful deity or Death from the Beedle’s Tales? Or does it just…exist?

6. How Were The Deathly Hallows Created?

Of course, we all know that Death was a fairy tale character and didn’t create the Hallows. Dumbledore implied that the Peverell brothers did that; but how did three blood-related wizards no one even remembers do something even Merlin couldn’t?

5. What Goes On In The Love Room?

Dumbledore once told Harry about the Love Room — a special place in the Ministry of Magic’s Department of Mysteries where wizards studied love as a magical force. But how could love be academically studied? What’s even happening in that room?

4. What Happened After The Potters’ Deaths?

The 24 hours after Lord Voldemort’s fall are shrouded in mystery. Where was Harry before he was brought to the Dursleys the next day? Did Voldemort’s body exist or did he just evaporate? Was there any sort of magical investigation on the scene?

3. How Are The Horcruxes Created?

J.K. Rowling once revealed that she wanted to include the ritual for creating a Horcrux into the book, but her editors made her cut it. Ever since then, Potterheads have been wondering: what could be so terrifying that it had to be removed entirely?

2. How Did The Veil Come To Be?

The mysterious Veil in the Department of Mysteries is seemingly a one-way tunnel between the world of the living and the dead, and it was there before even the Ministry. This begs the questions, who (or what), how, and why created the Veil?..

1. How Was Rubeus Hagrid… Created?

Seeing how Hagrid was a half-giant and his father was a “tiny man,” we can safely assume that he was also a very brave man. But the exact mechanics of producing one Rubeus Hagrid still have more questions than answers: for all we know, his very existence should be impossible, as well as the act that birthed him.
