The REAL Reason Dumbledore Borrowed the Cloak of Invisibility - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we’re going to be discussing Dumbledore, the Potter’s, and the fabled Invisibility Cloak. Specifically, we’re going to be taking a look at the events of the time period surrounding the Potter’s murder, and why on earth Dumbledore chose to ‘borrow’ an item of such great protection when the Potter family’s lives were in imminent danger. If the cloak is so powerful that even death can't find you, wouldn't it be more useful in the hands of people who are hiding from the most powerful dark wizard to have ever lived?

Let’s dive in.

The Invisibility Cloak is a powerful magical artefact that once belonged to Ignotus Peverell- the youngest brother from the ‘tale of three brothers’- a story outlining the origin of each Deathly Hallow.

The plot surrounds the three wizard brothers and their ability to cheat death for a short period of time. After conquering death, a personification of death, under the guise of congratulating them, awards them with 3 gifts: The elder wand, the resurrection stone, and the invisibility cloak. Long story short, each brother chose one of the gifts that death had presented them. Ignotus (the youngest) chose the invisibility cloak.

All 3 of these objects are massively instrumental in the Harry Potter story- and while the elder wand is a huge plot driver, the invisibility cloak definitely ended up being the most useful hallow for Harry- which is interesting, because it was indirectly handed down to him by his father. After James’s death, it was kept safe until Harry was old enough to appreciate it, at which point Dumbledore anonymously gifted the cloak to Harry in the Philosopher’s Stone.

But..Why did Dumbledore have this Potter family artifact?
