The Most TERRIFYING Fate in Harry Potter (It’s Not Death)

About this episode

This episode explores the nature of the soul in the wizarding world and the terrifying fates that can befall it.

The soul. You can split it, you can curse it, you can even anchor it to the living world through dark and forbidden magic.

But what happens it when someone moves on to the next plane of existence? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
