While most fans agree that Harry is the unrefuted Chosen One, the final Deathly Hallows film (in particular) sways heavily toward highlighting a heroic
What makes Harry explicitly the chosen one in the books is 3 things, 1) Voldemort chose him that night to be the chosen one and decided to kill him and his family personally to avoid the prophecy, 2) Harry and Neville actually talked this out and Harry chose to take the possible responsibility off of Neville and to be ...
Finally it is Neville who kills Voldemort in the films, as Harry and Voldemort duel Neville kills the snake and before the colliding magic ends Voldemort already starts to flake, Harry then hits him with a disarm spell, but not a killing curse, so Voldemort's death is triggered by Neville killing the snake, making him ...
However, the prophecy went on to say that Voldemort would mark the child as his equal, choosing the boy that he believed would be the most dangerous to him. Dumbledore believes Voldemort chose Harry because Harry was a half-blood, just like Voldemort.
Indeed, Harry was the "The Chosen One" because Voldemort chose to believe that the prophecy was talking about Harry, the half-blood like himself and thus his equal. Harry survived the Killing Curse because his mother sacrificed her life for him and gave him a protection from Voldemort until he comes of age (at 17).
While most fans agree that Harry is the unrefuted Chosen One, the final Deathly Hallows film (in particular) sways heavily toward highlighting a heroic Neville, revitalizing the debate regarding which boy is better suited for the iconic title. "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ...
In the end, both were essential to Voldemort's downfall, fulfilling the possibility that both Harry and Neville were, in fact, the Chosen One. While Harry delivered the final blow to destroy Voldemort, Neville destroyed the final Horcrux which allowed Harry to end Voldemort.
In a series of flashbacks, using the pensieve as a plot device, she reveals that Voldemort was the son of the witch Merope Gaunt and a Muggle called Tom Riddle. Riddle abandoned Merope before their child's birth, soon after which Merope died.
The most likely reason why Lord Voldemort's nose disappeared and he devolved into such an evil-looking creature is that as he dabbled deeper into the Dark Arts, his appearance gradually became as distorted as what remained of his twisted soul.
Voldemort's assumption that it was Harry led to his own demise as he failed to consider Neville as an option. Neville was born a day before Harry, and as his parents were part of the Order of the Phoenix they had defied Voldemort which meant he fit the description of the prophecy and could have been The Chosen One.
Hermione Granger
If she were the Chosen One, she probably would have discovered the news for herself during a little bit of light reading (sorry Dumbledore, no need to get involved), finished off all of the Horcruxes by third year and then focused on what really mattered: her education.
Harry and Neville are both heirs of Gryffindor, as are all the other wizards who did the same throughout time.
It took him five years, but eventually he figured out how to open the Chamber and release the Basilisk (CS17, HBP10). Harry was never the true Heir of Slytherin through his family line.
The only reason why it was Harry is that Voldemort thought he was the child the prophecy was talking about. By targeting him and trying to kill him, Voldemort marked him as his equal, while Neville got to live his life without that burden (though that doesn't mean he had an easy life).
Neville's parents were both Aurors, and older than Harry's parents. To choose him first would be a little dangerous. After he tried to kill Harry, he lost his power, so he didn't have the chance to try to kill Neville. This has always been asked, but is just a common misconception.
Just as you think Neville is about to join the evil, he unconfidently remarks, “ I like to say something.” As if he was a scared boy talking back to his parents. The only reason Voldemort let him talk is because he saw no threat in Neville. “It doesn't matter Harry is gone.” Neville expresses.
Snape having the same Patronus, the doe, as Lily symbolized his everlasting love and unwavering devotion towards her. He hadn't stopped loving her after their last altercation, marriage to James Potter, or death. She was his "always," his guiding light, and he protected Harry for her.
Though Harry encountered many opportunities that deemed Avada Kedavra necessary, it remains as one of the Unforgivable Curses Harry Potter never cast. For one, he viewed the spell as an immoral practice commonly used by users of the Dark Arts.
Mason Riddle is the Son of Tom Marvalo Riddle, otherwise known as Lord Voldemort, and the only American student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is one of the only students who switched houses from Slytherin, to Gryffindor.
Delphini, nicknamed Delphi, is the titular main antagonist of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Although she initially introduces herself as the niece of Amos Diggory, Delphi is in fact, the child of Lord Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange and has only one goal, restoring her father.
Merope, left to her own devices, managed to give Tom Riddle Senior a love potion, which made him fall in love with her. They eventually got married.
So when Harry came along , with James's untidy jet black hair and lily's green eyes , Snape didn't know how to feel . He had loved everything about lily , and therefore by extension loved her son , but Harry was James's son too. Truth was , he loved Harry as well.
While Ron never killed anyone in the movies, Hermione had her one big moment in the Battle of Hogwarts. She and Ron walked in and witnessed Fenrir Greyback killing Lavender Brown and Hermione lashed out in anger and killed the werewolf by blasting him over a cliff -- a slight change from his death in the books.
Defeating The Dark Lord with his signature spell
Disarming is about defence, not murder. Voldemort was a killer, Harry was not. It was an important distinction for Harry, who had learned so much about Voldemort and seen first-hand the ways in which they were similar.
