Of course it have the relation to the core philosophical disagreements of the openly bigoted antagonist versus the essentially neoliberal protagonist.

But that doesn’t mean readers should overlook the plot holes. Addressing these inconsistencies would make the story’s themes and message far more convincing and easier for readers to accept.

At that specific point Harry Potter was still the second to last existing horcrux (leaving Nagini as the last one) so you could say the Elder Wand was actually aiming for the piece of Voldemort horcrux.

That makes sense logically. (If the curse didn’t hit Harry at all)

But that would be far too absurd a spectacle. Imagine Voldemort watching his own Killing Curse fly out and curve straight back at him mid-flight. LOL

I personally don’t think that fits the serious atmosphere of the final battle.

At the end of GoF, Voldemort used Harry’s blood to create a new body for himself. Dumbledore later implies that this act gave Harry the option to not die when the pseudo-horcrux within him was destroyed.

I think this reason is the most logical. But that would make Harry invincible to Voldemort, because Harry will never die as long as Voldemort lives, which seems… not a very well-constructed plot, like Harry can never die from Voldemort’s magic from the start, which makes all his struggles in vain.

Harry later implies that this act protects all survivors of the BoH from Voldemort.

Other reasons all have their loopholes. Harry’s sacrifice might be able to protect his allies just like the same magic Lily bestowed upon Harry, but I don’t think Harry’s sacrifice can protect himself from the Killing Curse.

I think letting the spell bounce back when Voldemort tries to kill Ginny would make more sense.

It didn’t refuse to work, it just wasn’t working at its true power, which is why harrys expelliarmus won the duel, and caused is own curse to rebound. Simple as that, the wand didn’t really want to do his bidding, or not at its true potential.

The thing is, the book says the wand cast a Killing Curse straight at Harry. I don’t know whether it hit Harry or not. If it did hit Harry and then rebounded off him, how does the magic work there? Does Harry have some kind of aura around him?

If it didn’t hit Harry at all and the curse just flew 180 degrees back toward Voldemort, that would seem more convincing. But if that’s the case, why did the wand kill Harry the first time in the woods? Why didn’t it just fly out, spin around, and hit Voldemort then?

my mistake, thanks

That explains, thanks.

but isn’t this community federated?

Why is it obnoxious? I though it might help those who don’t have the translation app installed on their phone
