Harry Potter Challenge Blog #7

I finally finished the 5th book. I'm actually really depressed, Sirius died and that was really the only family Harry had left. His life is such a tragedy, he's so young and everything that is surrounding him just seems to die, or always end up hurt. There was a revelation though in the last chapter that Neville and Harry were in the running for being the chosen victim of Lord Voldemort. That may sound weird but there was a prophecy that a child born in late July and to parents who have wronged Voldemort three times, which seems really biblical to me, will be the one to either kill Voldemort, or get killed themselves. So Voldemort, this crazy insane leader of wanting to rid the world of half-bloods and non magical people, went after Harry instead of Neville. I find Voldemort  to be extremely similar to Hitler. Seeing as Hitler was preaching about cleansing the world and turning it into an aryan race when he was far from aryan himself, and Voldemort basically doing the same thing as hitler because he's contradicting his own beliefs seeing as he's a half-blood too. Quite a huge contradiction, mindless and insane people following a leader who can't even stay true to the very thing he is fighting for. Well back to Neville and Harry. Neville is pure-blood, Harry is half-blood. Voldemort, being one of the most powerful wizards on earth went after Harry. Why do you ask? Because Voldemort, understanding his own roots, saw himself in Harry. He could have gone after Neville and Harry would have not been the chosen one, he would be living a normal wizarding life with his parents still alive, but Voldemort did not want to underestimate the very thing that was perceived as weak in the first place. It's sad how much blood, dna, the very thing that make you, you, the thing that you have no control over, can bring so much hate and suffrage to those just because they make you different.  And that is why Harry was made the chosen one on that late night at the end of July in the year 1980. Harry Potter's life changed because he was different, because he was not pure, and because he would never be perfect for society, he was destined to suffer.
