Harry Potter Theories

WILLY WONKA IS ACTUALLY GEORGE WEASLEY

  The Theory connects yet another beloved literary character to the Harry Potter universe, in this case, Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka. This theory states that the famed sweets maker is actually surviving Weasley twin George, who, after the events of Deathly Hallows, used a Time-Turner to travel back to a different era and make a new life for himself. Weasley used the knowledge from the candy empire he created with his brother Fred to restart his career in the muggle world. This helps to explain a lot of Wonka's crazier inventions, which seem like they could only be possible with a little bit of magical help. The two even have even come up with some of the same candy inventions over the years, with both creating sweets that can help children get sick and skip school. The theory even points out some physical similarities between George and Gene Wilder, who played Wonka in the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory film, with both having red hair and an eccentric fashion sense.
