How does Harry Potter survive Voldemort?

Answer 1

When Lord Voldemort went to kill Harry Potter, James Potter (Harry's father) tried to hold off Voldemort and told Lily Potter (Harry's mother) to run and protect Harry. However, Voldemort killed James and moved on to Lily. She pleaded with him and risked her life to save Harry. When Voldemort told her to move aside, she refused, and he killed her with "Avada Kedavra" which is the unforgivable curse that kills people. When he tried to murder Harry, it backfired and Voldemort became powerless. Lily's love formed a protection over Harry. She used love, a power Voldemort never had, the oldest known form of magic, to keep Harry safe. She died to protect him, and Harry lived. This is why Harry had to live with the Dursley family, because since Petunia Dursley (Harry's aunt) was the only living relative of Lily, the power is in her blood as well, which keeps the protective charm on Harry.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Harry Potter survived because Lord Voldemort only killed the Horcrux that was inside Harry.

Answer 2

The books say that Harry survived Voldemort's attack because of his mother's love. Dumbledore said that Voldemort did not understand the concept of love and he was overcome by the power of it.

Answer 3

He kills HE MUST NOT BE NAMED with the deathstick ( the most powerful wand)

Answer

SPOILERS perhaps.............................In the Goblet of Fire, Voldemort takes Harry's blood in order for himself to regain a body. Harry's blood contains Lily's protection and love for her son and now some of Harry's blood is in Voldemort. Thus if Voldemort tried to kill Harry, the spell would not kill the Harry part of Harry because the person holding the killing wand is partly Harry himself and Harry is protected. Thus the deathspell kills that part of Harry which is not Harry but a part of Voldemort. That is how I understand it. For more information refer to The Goblet of Fire, The Half Blood Prince and The Deathly Hallows.

Answer 4

When Voldemort cursed Harry, his soul broke, and part of it flew into the young Harry Potter, who at the time had the shield of his mother's love.

The curse that that fall back to Voldemort completely destroyed his body rendering him powerless.

Answer 5

Its really confusing, but when Voldemort first came and killed Harry's parents, Lily (his mom) protected him by her love but a horcrux was stuck inside Harry because of the Killing Curse. And in the 7th book when Voldemort used the Avada Kadavra curse on Harry he killed the horcrux inside him and that's how Harry survived Voldemort curses!! :0

Answer 6

I suggest you read the books, since it's a fascinating story. Or at least watch the movies. But briefly, (1) it was important to destroy all the horcruxes first, before being able to defeat Voldemort; and (2) the fact that the magic wand Voldemort wielded somehow "belonged" to Harry Potter (its allegiance was for Harry Potter) played an important role.

Answer 7

He survives because Voldemort, when trying to kill him, actually kills his own Horcrux inside of Harry.

Answer 8

Since Lily died defending Harry, her love acted as a shield against Voldemort, destroying Voldemort and his powers.

Answer 9

He doesn't die.
