The theme of Choice and Chance and Harry potter

The theme of Choice and Chance: How does Harry Potter discusses the antithetical concepts of ‘choice’ and ‘chance’?






“It is our choices, Harry , that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”




Dumbledore subsequently tells Harry that “ it is our choices that show what we truly are , far more than our abilities. Importance of personal choices in determining outcomes , rather then either chance or fate. Harry Potter contains magical prophecies , that prophecies comes true , people choose to act on them. Lily Potter's chices to protect her at the cost of her own life. Harry's choice to sacrifice himself has truly broken Voldemort's power.Tom Riddle's choice are lead to the creation of Lord Voldemort. Harry and Voldemort make very different choices about how to make use of their abilities , about what kind of life to live. Voldemort's choices of immortality and evil. Harry's acceptance of his morality that allows him to embrace his humanity and to love.
