As far as villains go, the Harry Potter franchise’s Dark wizard Lord Voldemort ranks high on the list of most vile. Not only did he commit violent mass murder and promote prejudice and blood purity that extended beyond the Wizarding World, but Voldemort spent years targeting a little boy who threatened his quest for immortality. But why did Voldemort want to kill Harry? While it may seem ridiculous for such a powerful wizard to feel so threatened by a mere child, Voldemort’s first attempt to eliminate Harry Potter bounced back on him and put him out of commission for twelve years. But that was only part of the reason Voldemort was so driven to wipe out the one person who might actually be able to stop him from achieving his hideous goals. The real question boils down to why Voldemort came to Godric’s Hollow to kill Harry Potter in the first place, and the answer is as simple as it is complicated: a prophecy.In the Wizarding World, prophecies are often treated with the same amount of humor and disbelief as they are by Muggles. The stuff of charlatans and the fools who believe in them, it’s a rare thing for a prophecy to be taken so seriously. Yet the Ministry of Magic keeps a separate section for magical instruments, objects, and elements that need further, secretive research: the Department of Mysteries. The Dark Lord believed in the prophecy, and it seemed everyone else did too, enough to safely tuck the prophecy away in the Ministry of Magic and forget about it once they believed Voldemort had been eliminated. His return to power saw his Death Eaters on a quest to uncover the precise wording of the prophecy in an effort to find out how he might avoid falling prey to the Boy Who Lived a second time.Early in the year 1980, an eccentric young teacher named Sybill Trelawney met with Headmaster Albus Dumbledore at the Hog’s Head to interview for the position of Divinations Professor at Hogwarts. During the interview, Sybil failed to impress the headmaster with her antics, but just as he was about to leave, she went into a trance. While entranced, she prophesied the arrival of a child at the end of July 1980 who would have the power to defeat Lord Voldemort. The details of the prophecy noted that the child would be a boy, that his parents would have defied the Dark Lord three times, and he would possess a power Voldemort was unable to understand.
