Title: Help Needed - The Phropecy
Post by: bluberfish on August 19, 2004, 11:57:16 PM
Hi.
I really need some help.
I'm planning to write my own version of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, but I need to know everything about the Prophecy. I've read the entire series twice but still don't understand it. As far as I understood, either Harry will have to kill Voldy or Voldy will have to kill Harry. But does Harry have to kill Neville or Neville have to kill Harry? Please explain and tell me anything else I missed.
Thanks,
Rob

Neither.Harry doesn't have to kill neville and neville doesn't have to kill harry....One of them is the one prophesized to kill Voldem0rt....Only one.

Yes, Harry is the one fated to destroy Voldem0rt.  He is the one te Dark Lord marked and the  one who's birthday ends the seventh month.  Although Neville's parents have also bested voldem0rt as well as harry's, Harry is the one marked as his equal.

But what about "Neither can live while the other survives"? Dosen't that mean Harry and Neville have to duel it out?

That's what I was thinking. I swear it made some refrence about Harry not wanting to talk to Neville because he knew that either himself or him would become a murderer. Is that true or did i totally loosethe plot?

However, Dumbledore explained to Harry that He(Harry)  Was the one Voldem0rt chose to mark and that was the onlt reason Voldem0rt tried to kill him in the frst place.  ahd he attacked neville first, the the stories could have possibly been called Neville Longbottum and the Blah blah balh..you get it?  I nkow, I'm not explaining too well.



[size=26]SPOILER IF YOU HAVE NOT READ #5[/size]

























"The one with the Poer to Vanquish the Dark Lord Aproaches...Born to thoughs who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...and the dark lord will mark him as an equal, but he will have power the dark lord knows not...and either must die at teh hands of the other for neither can live while the other survives...the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...

So no, Neville and Harry have no problem living at the same time however, Voldenort and the chosen.(I believe Harry) can not.

zactly Kiara! I'm not going to bother explaining anything any more, so I'm glad Kiara did it this time. Only Voldy and the chosen one (wich is Harry) have to kill the other. It's eith Harry goes, or Voldy goes.

Basically everyone have explained it. Harry was the one Voldemortchose, and 0612, it doesn't mean Harry and Neville have to dule it out, it means Harry and Voldemort have to dule it out

I think that 'Neither shall die while the other survives' or whatever it says means that Harry and voldemort both have to die...

I get it already. To be simple, Neville's already out of the picture since Voldemort did not mark him over a decade ago. So, if you still don't understand just remember this: *Neville's out of the picture*
