Potter's Prophecy


“The one who has the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches and born to those who have thrice defied him and born at the seventh months dies. The dark lord will mark him as his equal for he has the power the dark lord knows not and one must die in the hand of the others for neither shall live while the other one survives. The one who has the power to vanquish the dark lord approaches and born to those who have thrice defied him and born at the seventh months dies.”

The foretelling of the prophecy to Prof. Albus Dumbledore by the divination teacher Prof Sibyl Trelawney and the existence of the eavesdroppers on the pub lays the most dangerous battle of the future of the wizarding kind.

Do you think if Lord Voldemort hadn’t heard about the prophecy would he still be looking towards the potter? Of course he won’t bother at all. But what happen is the opposite, and that’s a horror to every living witches and wizards.

The prophecy directly concerns the downfall of the Dark Lord and the one who can vanquish him is still vague from the horizon. But the prophecy provides the specific time of the vanquisher’s conception and that who ever fitted the foretelling the Dark Lord is ready to attack.

The prophecy is not made for Harry Potter specifically but instead he just fitted the prophecy, where in fact two of them fitted the prophecy and it was Harry and Neville Longbottom. Both their parents thrice escape the wrath of the Dark Lord and both Harry and Neville born in the last day of July. But why it was Harry is being chosen not Longbottom? And that’s a big deal faced by Harry. What if the Dark Lord chose Neville instead of Harry? Would Neville’s mother do the same as Lilly protected Harry? It could be Neville who will be carrying the burden of the lighting scar in his forehead not him? Could Neville survived the Killing Cursed and become famous of becoming the first to defy the power? And it would be Harry who will leave the Hogwarts train waiving away from his mother not Ron’s. But what is done is already done and the dark lord won’t change his mind nor be cannot be persuaded by any other. The only thing is to face the challenge of the prophecy.
