History of GIANTS - Harry Potter Explained

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be discussing the history of GIANTS. Even people relatively unfamiliar with the fantastic beasts of the wizarding world will have heard of giants. Of course, this is likely due to the fact that they are commonplace in many myths and legends of old that have been written throughout the ages. In any case, the giants within the world of Harry Potter are quite like any other giant you may have read or heard about. They are incredibly large humanoid creatures, many of whom typically grow to an average of 20-to-25-feet tall. Some giants have even been described as “colossal” in appearance, and are known to be both very strong and very violent. These two traits are likely the primary reasons that giants often resort to the unsettling, yet extremely common, practice of decapitating fellow members of their tribes. Due to their quick temper and inability to fully acquire complex languages, it can also be assumed that the majority of giants—at least in modern times—have rather low levels of intelligence. When considering all of these traits in combination, it’s no wonder that giants are considered to be incredibly dangerous creatures within the wizarding world. Not to mention that, in addition to their strength and violent nature, they are also resistant to spells—making them quite a serious threat to magical society, particularly, wand-wielding folks like witches and wizards.
