10 Craziest Harry Potter Fan Theories

10. Harry Is Immortal

In Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix we learn about Sybill Trelawney’s first prophecy, the very prophecy that landed her a job at Hogwarts, which states of the Dark Lord and The Chosen One that “either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives.”

This is generally interpreted as meaning that either Harry will kill Voldemort or Voldemort will kill Harry, as played out in the Deathly Hallows. But what if Professor Trelawney meant something different when she issued her first prophecy in the Hog’s Head all those years ago?

What if the part about having to die at the hand of the other means that this is the only way either of them can die? Meaning that Harry, having killed Voldemort and therefore his only means of dying, is now immortal and sacrificed his own mortality when he offed the Dark Lord and will live forever and ever while watching all his family and friends die before him.

Mind-blowing and depressing in equal measure.
