Deathly Hallows pt. 2

[yorkshire]

I'd like some clarification on the latter part.

Harry's mother's love prevents Voldemort from killing him as a baby when he should have died. I understand that part. I also understand that Voldemort turned Harry into a Horcrux inadvertently.

What I don't understand is anything after that:

- Does Harry's mother's love mean that Harry was protected against future attacks by Voldemort? The plot heavily implies that it wasn't a one-time deal, and that it was the reason why he wasn't killed outright when Voldemort cursed him in the Forbidden Forest. So was Harry immune to being killed by Voldemort all along? If not, why was this time special?

- Why does it matter that Voldemort resurrected himself using Harry's blood? If he hadn't done so, Harry's mother's love would still be in effect presumably. What changed by Voldemort doing so?

Well as Harry was growing up he was still protected by his mother's love, through Aunt Petunia who was of the same bloodline of Lily, as long as she agreed to house him. But when Harry became of age, and the Dursleys left, the protection broke, and Harry was vulnerable, or so we thought.

When Voldemort resurrected himself using Harry's blood he unknowingly doubled the blood bond of Lily, thereby making himself Harry's life reserve, so to speak. So when Voldemort used Avada Kedavra on Harry in the forest, he killed the part of his soul that resided within Harry, but while Voldemort was still alive, he was tethering Harry to life, so Harry couldn't die at the hand of Voldemort.

Saw it and it was pretty darn good. I thought they wrapped it up nicely. All in all a fitting end to the series.

I like the movie but i was actually a bit underwhelmed by the final battle. I thought it would be a bit more epic.

Well as Harry was growing up...

I thought the reason Harry survived was solely due to the Resurrection Stone?

The idea is that when Voldemort used the killing curse on Harry when he was a baby, he inadvertently turned Harry himself into a Horcrux. So the Horcruxes were the diary, the ring, Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's cup, Ravenclaw's Tiara, Nagini the snake, Harry himself and Voldemort himself. When Harry went to meet Voldemort in the forest, Voldemort killed the part of his soul that was residing within Harry, yet Harry himself was protected by his mother's love which ran throughout Harry's blood as well as Voldemort's, as Voldemort used Harry's blood when he regained a new body back in Goblet of Fire.

Thanks for clarifying!

spoiler>> So when the snake died, and Voldemort only had 1/7th of his soul left, why did he die exactly? <<end spoiler. I read the book, just don't remember and the movie did not make it clear imo.

I agree with your characterization.

I saw the movie opening night, i was surprised i want the only one dressed up. I only had my tie and elder wand, but there were people in full robes. The movie was amazing i had a little tidbits that i thought should of been included or changed back the way the book did it but over all wonderful. And for those who haven't seen it, come on and go see it so we can talk about it! The whole death thing is a bit confusing but not if you read the book, its the movie so they can't put everything in but they do there best. For Now ill be waiting on the pottermore beta launch, to be eligible u must sign up on the 31st and see if you get to be one of the million who get picked (ill be up at 12am). And if no one has an objection ill talk about what i thought could of made the movie better lol.
