8 Most Ridiculous Harry Potter Fan Theories

Breaking the fourth wall down as effectively as Platform 9 3/4, there's been parallels drawn between the wizard journalist and our very own omniscient narrator of the Harry Potter universe. Both blonde writers, both a bit nutty, and both most importantly tied to the Potter universe - there's a theory that Rita Skeeter is the embodiment of Rowling in her own universe.

It even goes so far to suggest that the entire series isn't fictional, that it's in fact Skeeter's own account of the events spanning Potter's timeline under the pseudonym of Rowling. Why would a wizard openly out her community? Well, Skeeter is known for being controversial, and it's inevitable she's on the path to brewing up some trouble. In short - she's gotten herself expedited from the wizarding world and taken revenge by revealing the home truths of it to the wider muggle population.

Since we're a bunch of morons, we've taken it entirely as fiction, and any action from the magical community would entirely show their hand as Definitely, Really Existing.
