“Why did Harry Potter survive even after Voldemort casted killing curse upon him? Was it the Hallows or Lily Potter’s love?”

It is the question asked to us By Nykes Troxes in our page - WISDOM OF ALBUS PERCIVAL WULFRIC BRIAN DUMBLEDORE

“Why did Harry Potter survive even after Voldemort casted killing curse upon him? Was it the Hallows or Lily Potter’s love?”

One word answer – both. These two options are no different.

The reason why Harry Potter resurrected is purely enigmatic to those who have not considered reading the book. Harry Potter resurrected because of the love of Lily Potter that resided in his blood. Lily had sacrificed her life to save her son. She had casted herself in front of the dark lord when he tried to kill baby Harry. Voldemort enviously took his blood to come back to his human form. Later when he killed Harry Potter, the blood that possessed the love of Lily towards Harry was still fresh in the veins of the dark Lord himself. Voldemort’s death was engraved the moment he chose to overlook this subtle element of love.

However, I do believe, with all my hearts, that the unison of the Deathly Hallows is the reason why Harry Potter survived the Avada Kedabra curse. I shall explain why, after I present conversation between Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter when they were in limbo (King’s Cross, Deathly Hallows, Book 7).

“But if Voldemort used the Killing Curse,” Harry started again, “and nobody died for me this time — how can I be alive?”

“I think you know,” said Dumbledore. “Think back. Remember what he did, in his ignorance, in his greed and his cruelty.”

Harry thought. He let his gaze drift over his surroundings. If it was indeed a palace in which they sat, it was an odd one, with chairs set in little rows and bits of railing here and there, and still, he and Dumbledore and the stunted creature under the chair were the only beings there. Then the answer rose to his lips easily, without effort.

“He took my blood,” said Harry.

“Precisely!” said Dumbledore. “He took your blood and rebuilt his living body with it! Your blood in his veins, Harry, Lily’s protection inside both of you! He tethered you to life while he lives!”

 As I mentioned earlier, I do believe that Hallows were the ones responsible for the resurrection of Harry Potter. But then it was Lily’s love that saved Harry Potter. I shall demonstrate why these two beliefs are inextricable.   

Harry was destined, or rather “chosen” to vanquish the Dark Lord. But for that he had to sacrifice his own life. He was the Horcrux, that Voldemort never meant to make. But then, we have Albus Dumbledore, the wisest of the wise. It would have been unjust for Harry, a kind brave boy, to be killed by the Dark Lord, who was evil. Fate would not allow evil to triumph. So then there is always however! There is more to understand the Hallows than it appears. Hallows choose the one, who can accept the death. To win the death, one has to revere it. And fate knew that Harry was the only one who could accept the death. But, interestingly, fate did not choose Dumbledore, who, in turn, had sacrificed his life for the sake of “trust” that Severus Snape had to earn from the dark lord. How could it choose itself! Albus Dumbledore chose Harry as the master of Death; fate chose Harry as the master of death. He “had to be” the master of death because he was meant to vanquish the dark Lord and to do that, he “had to” accept the death. So, Dumbledore, the kindest of the kind, ‘knew’ that fate had planned something big for Harry; something so big that it would allow Harry to die but return to tell the tale. There were two options, Hallows and Horcrux. Horcrux is extremely dark and evil. So good old Dumbledore knew it had to be Horcrux. So he arranged it for Harry, because he was meant to do so.

Now fate is a curious thing. Fate connects the dots and knows every dot to be connected. Fate knew it was Harry who had to unite Hallows. In other words, fate knew Harry had to win the death in order to vanquish the dark Lord. So the fate of Harry Potter to unite the Hallows, led the event of Lily Potter casting herself before Voldemort when he tried to kill Harry. When she did that a part of Voldemort’s soul latched itself on to Harry and then, at that very moment, Harry became the inevitable to-be-master of the Deathly Hallows. Her love is merely the “way” through which the dots were connected. It was the way through which the fate-of-Harry-to-unite-Hallows chose to resurrect Harry Potter.

To understand Harry Potter one needs to understand Bhagwat Geeta or Bible or Quran. And when I say that, I am not joking.
