Theme of Choice and Chance in Harry Potter series.

Theme of Choice Vs. Chance

1.The question of choice versus chance runs throughout the Harry Potter series. The question appears first at the end of Chamber of Secrets, when Riddle/Voldemort tells Harry that "it was merely a lucky chance that saved you"

2 After he is told that Lily's sacrifice was the reason he had not been able to kill baby Harry. Dumbledore subsequently tells Harry that "it is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."

3 Throughout the series, Voldemort continues to insist on chance as the cause of his downfall, right up to the bitter end.

4 Dumbledore, by contrast, insists on the importance of personal choice in determining outcomes, rather than either chance or fate. Rowling has said that Dumbledore often speaks for her (and Voldemort certainly does not), so it seems that she would also believe in choice rather than chance.

Although Harry Potter is a magical world in which fate (such as the house assignments made by a magical hat) at first appears to be dominant, Rowling is clear that hers is not a fate-dominated world. To know more about four house Click Here.

5.Professor Trelawney, the bumbling Divination teacher, almost always gets it wrong, and even though the world of Harry Potter contains magical prophecies, the prophecies come true only because people choose to act on them.

6 Even the magical hat takes people's choices into account, as Harry reminds his son in the epilogue.

7 Rowling herself has written that she does not believe in fate, but in "hard work and luck, and that the first often leads to the second."

8 Not fate, then ’ but is the outcome due to choice or chance in the end?
