"Either Must Die in the Hands of the Other". The Lost Prophecy

It cant be Neville though cos they say that only the person who the prophecy is about can read it or else they would die. So harry would of died if the prophecy wasn't about him.

i dont' remember readin that bit! although i'm 2 thirds of the way through the book again, so i expect i'll come across it...but if thats correct! yey!!!! i really cudn't stand it if it was nevilles!!

i can assure you that it is not nevilles i mean what would that be? 😖tupid

yeah...if it were to be Nevilles it would totally suck...but Dumbledore made it very clear in the end of the fifth book that the prophecy had to by Harry's

well there you go! i had a dreama bout all this the other night! it was weird!!!! can't remember much!

also...
if i may put in my input...
didn't the prophecy say that voldemort would mark the specific person...
and voldemort didnt read that last part did he? so he dind't know that he should "put a mark" on the one that was a least of a threat, easy to kill, be panicked and tried to kill harry remember...so the one that he "marked" was harry...which means hez the one in the prophecy right?
does anyone remember that part or am i just babbling...ill have to check on that but im pretty sure...
i dunno...tell me if u think im nutz or not...but i swear thatz what dumbledor said

yeah, he definately said it...i just got done rereading the fifth book....like you said, he didn't get the second part of the prophecy, so he didn't know that by marking harry he was transfering some of his powers to him, and securing the either must die at the hand of the other part of the prophecy.

but the prophecy didn't say what was the mark he can mark him again if he wants right? and hey harry hasn't defeat him yet you know we can say he has only escaped him so far (i believe it's harry but you never know)

harry is the one but i think neveil has a big part to play soon

definitely! mugglenet says Neville will rock in book 6 coz he will have his own wand..

remember he broke his wand in 5 & he said his grandma is gonna kill him coz it was his dad's wand - the wand chooses the wizard & if a wizard uses another's wand, it usually wont work as well for him.

no wonder he wasnt doing well in all studies that require wands - he was good only in herbology coz no wand is needed there - while he is being terrorized by Snape in potions - and divination, well, nobody really does well there.

yup, watch out "there's gonna be a new Neville in town!"

cool

theres a good point tho...the prophecy didn't actually say what the mark would be...the scar came from "being touched by an eveil curse" which means that anyone could have given it to him, not just voldemort...so doesn't that suggest that his scar may not be the mark at all....

caus it isn't a mark individual to voldemort i mean...are you wit me?

i'm not sure i'm quite w/ you on that one.......could you elaborate?

hey... i just reread the 5th book, and dumbledore does kinda explain that voldemort chose harry, and marked him as his equal, and that is why harry is in the prophesy. they don't mean that the scar is the mark, but that voldemort sees harry as his equal. also, not anyone could get that sort of scar from an evil curse, as harry is the only person to survive it. dumbledore also says... i am afraid that there is no doubt that it is you..... so im pretty sure that harry or voldemort have to die.... personally i reckon that at the end of book 7 both of them will end up dead, they'll kil each other or summit, so that the story is like totally finished... do u no wat i mean?

ok..so i wasn't totally out of my mind, and that is what dumbledore said...and yea it could be any mark...but that curse really isn't meant to "mark" anyone, it is ment to cause sudden death..no blood no scratches, no bruses...so the scar has got to be the mark right? 🤨

i don't know! it's weird...caus i suppose you don't actually know what kind of mark you'd get from gettin touched by a curse, caus no-one has survived to show it, until harry that is! so it's difficult to say if anyone could have that scar, caus we don't know if it came from the curse or is a mark individual to voldemort himself...it's really hard to explain it so it makes sense!

but all i'm tryin to say is, there is a remote possibility that the scar is an "injury" not a "mark" you see? The mark could be something completely different, which would then open back up the questioning on if it is longbottoms prophecy not harry's. And it is evident that even trelawny doesn't know who's it is caus in the fifth book when harry finds his prohecy in the department of mysteries and reads the label, it says "prohecy of lord voldemort and (?)Harry Potter" the questionmark shows that they aren't 100% certain.

if they were positive it would have no question mark, and there would therefor be no doubt that it is harry's

yeah, i get wat your saying, but that doesn't explain the fact that only the ppl who the prophesy was about could pick it up without getting injured, yet harry picked it up wit no problem. also the books are called harry potter so if it turns out to be about Neville, then wouldn't the other books have focused way more on him? just a suggestion....
