Trelawney made a prophecy and Voldemort decided Harry fit the bill, although Neville also met the criteria. Voldemort went to the Potter house to kill Harry, end his biggest rival before he could grow up, and create a horcrux from the murder of his enemy. Voldemort chose Harry.

Also these books are so fucking racist. “Cho chang”. We should stop talking about them.

So much writing has been done about how Cho Chang is a perfectly reasonable name that I don’t even understand how it’s still out there. It’s amazing how disinformation Never Dies.

It would have been funny af to watch Neville Longbottom as the main character of the series and the marketing hype train having to tiptoe the last name. I know Harry Potter as a name sounds better but imagine everyone dressing up as Neville for Halloween

Otoh, the outrage of anonymous online muppets is literally cheaper than dirt. So I’ll take the fabulous writer with the proven track record, thanks.
