Harry Potter : why is he the chosen one

Harry Potter-the boy who lived is called 'the chosen one', ever thought why is it so?

Well, the story begins when Albus Dumbledore goes out to recruit a teacher for the post of Divination. A very odd looking lady, Sybill Trelawney applies for the job and Dumbledore visit the village of Hogsmeade to meet her. Though Dumbledore didn't really think of her as a capable teacher, he recruits her.

Sybill Trelawney gave a prophecy that  changed everything in the wizarding world thereafter!

THE PROPHECY: The person who will kill the dark lord will be born to the parents who have fought him thrice. He will be born at the end of July. The dark lord himself will mark him as his equal yet he will not be aware of the powers the boy will possess. At the end, one of them will have to die because neither can live while the other survives.


While Trelawney was giving this prophecy in front of Dumbledore alone, Snape was listening to it and he was the one who informed the dark lord about this prophecy. 

THE CONTROVERSY: There were two babies due to be born at the end of July to the parent who had confronted the dark lord thrice, the other child was NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM!


The dark lord himself chose his vanquisher when he decided to attack the child born at the Potter's house, Harry Potter. While attacking young Harry, lord Voldemort ave him some of his powers and was not aware of this fact. Harry escaped death, having only a scar on his forehead whereas the dark lord was reduced to a being much less than a human, barely surviving. Both Harry's parent lost their lives in order to save him from Voldemort.

Thus, we know Harry Potter as 'the chosen one'!

Snape OR Sirius ?

This is one question that has been ringing inside my head soon after I completed reading the books.

Which one of these do you think is a better character?

I know that many of you believe that Severus Snape is the best sketched character in the entire series but please do think about Sirius Black. I am little partial towards Sirius because I relate to him a lot!

Severus was the one who played a two way agent  between Dumbledore and Voldemort when actually his loyalty was with Dumbledore. His love for Lily made him work for Dumbledore and protect Harry Potter through out his school years, and simultaneously he gained the confidence of Voldemort and fetched information from him. He followed Dumbledore's plans even after Dumbledore's death!

About him Harry Potter said,"He was the bravest man I ever knew!".

Sirius Black : Belonged to the family of Blacks. He was arrogant and pompous but against the belief that magical education should be restricted to pure bloods. He was best friends with James Potter and the Godfather of Harry Potter. He was sent to Azkaban for a crime he never committed. After 12 long years at the pridon he returned in order to see and protect Harry and show him the actual culprit behind the death of his parents, Peter Pettigrew!
He died while saving Harry and his friends at the Department of Mysteries after receiving the death curse from his cousin Bellatrix Lestrange. He was one of those persons whom Harry called after their death using the resurrection stone.


Now people, do write back telling me what do you think about these two characters. Both brave and skilled duellers!

Don't forget to send in your OWLS !

Deathly Hallows Part 2: the new Ravenclaw!

There are still some people left for sorting in the last past of the movie! Well, technically she's not a new member of Ravenclaw, just a new cast member on  role. Actress Kelly MacDonald will be portraying the role of the Grey Lady, the resident ghost of Ravenclaw house.

For those of you who have read the Harry Potter books, you'll be familiar to the part played by the Grey Lady. But in case, you're one of those casual fans of the series, I'll give a brief :

In later half of the final book we see that Harry Potter needs some information to complete his task of life. In this course he comes to know that the Grey Lady is the daughter of one of the founders of Hogwarts, Ravena Ravenclaw! The ghost of Grey Lady then tells him very important information which helps him in his endeavor.

"Though the role is small, its very essential to the plot",Kelly quoted.

Th Grey Lady was murdered by the Bloody Baron, who killed himself out of regret. The Bloody Baron was the resident ghost of Slytherin house and was supposed lover of the Grey Lady. These ghosts had been seen once in the first movie when Harry Potter first dines on his house table. The role was then played by Nina Young (Clash Of the Titans).

Hope you all keep up with these latest news form Harry Potter's world!

Harry Potter and the change in their lives : Part 1

Harry Potter movies started coming out about a decade back in 2001. The first one being, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, with three little kids in the lead cast. Now, there is no part of the world where the magic of this teen aged-wizard hasn't worked wonders and children from every where seem to go mad about him and his heroics!

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint play the roles of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley respectively, in the classic series, Harry Potter.

They started off merely as little 11 years old and now, after a decade there is so much that has changed around them. The movies got enormous success and so did they! All these three stars grabbed a place in 'UK's Wealthiest People Under 30' list, with Daniel Radcliffe at the top, Emma and Rupert on 3rd and 4th place respectively!

I will write here about the different interviews these stars have given after the completion of the movie, so it might take more than just one post to put them here..

Starting with Emma Watson..

Emma has moved from her parents' place and is now living in Rhodes Island, in a rented apartment with a friend. She joined Brown University last September, and is studying Literature with arts and a geology subject. She says that "now that the movies are over, she wants to live a very normal life", like many others out there. In an interview with Express UK, she said that she missed school a lot because she was "a proper nerd". She is the new face of Burberry and has also deigned clothes under the label People Tree, but she doesn't want to become a designer.

She was hardly 9 years old when she, along with some other classmates, was chosen to audition for the role of Hermione Granger. Finally after eight rounds of try outs, she landed with the role. Despite of the hectic schedule of filming the movies, she got straight A's in her A-level examinations.

As of now she is happy at her college and is not sure whether she'll continue acting. She wants to complete her studies first, as she says. On talking about the end of the movies she replied,"Its been such a big part of our lives, it has formed us, it has made us what we are today so it is going to be very sad".

We wish Emma all the luck she needs for the future!
