(4,340 posts)There was a prophecy that allowed for another person to kill Voldemorte. If it wasn't Harry Potter, it would have been this other person.

(43 posts)Harry was only special because Voldermort choose him. Neville Longbottom would have sufficed in Harry's absence, having both Harry and Neville had been born in the month of July and conformed to the prophecy.
Now mind you I am not really a Harry Potter fan, my daughter was. When she was 11 she wanted to read the first book when it came out. Having heard of the controversy about encouraging the occult and witchcraft, I took it upon myself to read the book cover to cover before allowing my daughter to read it so as to insure it was appropriate for her. As the series progressed, I continued the practice of buying the latest book in the series as soon as it came out and then reading it first before allowing my daughter read it (I finished reading them in just a few days because I did not want my daughter to have to wait long... which explains why I stayed awake long into the wee morning hours reading... because I am a good dad). I did the same thing with the movies as well and this continued up through the release of Deathly Hollows Part 2, as I felt it my parental duty to protect my child from possible harmful influences even though she had the attained the age of 21.
That's my story and I am sticking to it.
