The man who has the power to defeat the Dark Lord is approaching... It will be born in the family that resisted him three times, and at the end of July of that year... The Dark Lord will mark him as his fierce enemy, but he will have powers that the Dark Lord does not know... One of them must die at the hands of the other, for neither of them can live, only one survives...
Hello everyone, today I will explain in detail this can be regarded as the most famous prophecy in the world of Harry Potter, it can be said that without this prophecy there would be no next stories.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > unreliable prophet</h1>
This prophecy was made by Sybil Trelawney, a professor of divination at Hogwarts who was known for often making unreliable predictions.
Sybil Trelawney: I just said that at the moment of your birth, Saturn was definitely dominant in the sky... Your black hair... Your skinny body... And you lose your parents while you're in your infancy... I can assert, my dear, that you were born in winter, right?
Harry Potter: No, my birthday is in July.
Sybil Trelawney
But she did make two of the most important prophecies in the history of the wizarding world, one of which is the one to be told today (it is said that when Sybil Trelawney made the accurate prediction, the whole person would enter a state of chaos, so as long as she was awake, she was basically blind and talking).
Sybil Trelawney's ancestors were the famous prophet Cassandra Trelawney, who made her a member of the "Slug Club" founded by Professor Horace Slughorn when she first entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of 11 (its previous members also included Tom Riddle and Severus Snape).

After graduation, Sybil Trelawney was married once, but due to personality incompatibility, she eventually broke up, and she did not accept her husband's surname, continuing to use the ancestral Trelawney surname. But the unambitious Sybil was never able to find a profession worthy of the "Great Prophet of Legend", and only used false prophecies on the streets to deceive, how could such a person be hired to teach at Hogwarts?

In early 1980, Sybil came to the Pig's Head Bar, owned by Albus Dumbledore's brother Albus, who wanted to meet Albus for a job at Hogwarts. Although Albus was the headmaster at the time, he had no intention of continuing to teach divination classes, but because of Sybil's famous surname, he decided to meet her anyway.

It is true that the meeting is not as famous as the famous, Sybil Trelawney did not show any talent for prophecy, and just as Albus politely rejected her and intended to leave, Sybil entered that state of chaos and then said the prophecy mentioned at the beginning of the article.
In addition to Albus Dumbledore, the prophecy was overheard at the door by Severus Snape, who was still a Death Eater at the time, but he did not listen to it all, and the first half of the hearing was discovered by Albus Dumbledore and driven out of the bar.
Severus Snape
It should be explained here that the first wizarding war had not yet begun in the early 1980s, Voldemort's strength was in the ascendant, and there were his followers everywhere in the wizarding world, and the Death Eater was only the more core part of it. Severus Snape told Voldemort the first half of the prophecies he had heard, meaning that Voldemort only knew that the child in the prophecy would be born at the end of July, and he did not know the second half of the "Dark Lord will mark his own enemy with his own hands" (this part was actually the key, and many of Voldemort's later actions were aimed at finding the complete prophecy record).
Double Agent Severus Snape
Albus Dumbledore knew that Severus Snape was eavesdropping outside the door, but it was not certain how much he had heard, so it was understandable that he had appointed Sybil Trelawney, who needed to keep him in the school to protect him, because if Voldemort wanted to get the full prophecy, the easiest way to do so would be to torture Sybil to tell him the truth.
Later, in the 95-96 school year, during the time of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Sybil was persecuted by Dolores Umbridge, and later even directly signed by the Ministry of Magic to expel her from Hogwarts, which was a prelude to Voldemort's attempt to take action against the Prophet (it was extremely rare for the Ministry of Magic to directly sign an executive order to fire a teacher, indicating that she had been infiltrated by Death Eaters). Fortunately, Albus Dumbledore saw through the conspiracy and stopped the plan in time.

We go back to 1980, and since this prophecy occurred at the beginning of the year, by the end of July, two children who met the prophecy of the first half were born, Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom.
Harry Potter
Neville Longbottom
Voldemort thought it more likely that Harry Potter was the son of prophecy, as Harry was a half-blood wizard like him. So in October 1981 Voldemort and several Death Eaters found the Potters. But a variable that arises here is that Severus Snape, who has been in love with Lily Potter, asks Voldemort to spare her, and the Dark Lord agrees, which gives Lily some time to cast the spell, and she uses the gap to cast a sacrifice spell (also known as a protective spell) on Harry.

The loss of a loved one
This caused Voldemort's killing spell on the infant Harry Potter to bounce off himself and his flesh destroyed. Since the Dark Lord had forged 5 Horcruxes at that time, he did not die, but a small piece of the shattered soul entered Harry's body (forming the scar), making Harry inadvertently become his 6th Horcrux, and he was marked by the Dark Lord's own hand( Mark) and became the Child of Prophecy.
(Voldemort, of course, did not spare Neville, attacking the Potters and 4 other Death Eaters found the Longbottoms and tortured them to madness, but Neville survived.)
Of course, due to the lack of the second half of the prophecy, Voldemort did not think that he personally hit the mark on Harry and created the Child of Prophecy. But this was not the end of the matter, during the story of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in the 94-95 school year, Voldemort, with the help of Peter Pettigrew ("Wormtail"), used three potions as a guide: his father's bone, the flesh of his servant, and the blood of his enemies, and reborn, he immediately forced Harry to duel with himself, believing that he needed to kill the Child of Prophecy one-on-one in order to break the prophecy's bondage to fate. But since the cores of their wands were identical, both phoenix feathers, this triggered the Flashback Spell during the duel, giving Harry time to breathe, allowing him to escape from the Dark Lord's hands once again.
Hell, Voldemort didn't know this, and he thought that the Son of Prophecy had some skill that he didn't know, so he desperately wanted to understand the whole of the prophecy. After his unsuccessful plan to drive Sybil Trelawney out of Hogwarts, he began to fight the idea of the Department of Mysteries, and there was a great battle between the members of the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

After hearing the prophecy, Albus Dumbledore reported it to the Ministry of Magic according to the procedure, and the prophecy has since been kept in the crystal ball of the Department of Mysteries. It is worth mentioning the annotation of this crystal ball, the original text is:
S.P.T to A.P.W.B.D
Dark Lord
and (?) Harry Potter
"S.P.T" is an abbreviation for Sybil Trelawney, "A.P.W.B.D" is Albus Dumbledore (the professor's name is super long), and "Dark Lord" naturally refers to the man everyone knows. Interestingly, "(?) Harry Potter", the question mark indicates that there were doubts about the identity of the prophecy party at the time, and the Department of Mysteries could not determine whether the Son of Prophecy was Harry Potter or Neville Longbottom, but after the events of 1981, the staff of the Department of Mysteries added Harry's name after the question mark, indicating that they recognized the identity of Harry's son of prophecy, but was this really the case?
When Harry led Dumbledore's army to the Department of Mysteries, a fierce battle broke out with the Death Eaters, and then the members of the Order of the Phoenix joined in, and the prophecy crystal ball was destroyed in the chaos, so the sad Dark Lord could not hear the full version of the prophecy until his death.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > another son of prophecy</h1>
Finally, during the Battle of Hogwarts, Voldemort demanded that Harry Potter come out and surrender, but failed to kill him when he cast the Killing Curse (because Voldemort's body was forged from Harry's blood, and Lily Potter's protective spell still worked in his body), and the Killing Curse only shattered a small piece of Harry's soul, equivalent to destroying a Horcrux by himself.
Once again deceived and unsuspecting, the Dark Lord came to the school gate with Harry's "corpse" to show off (sometimes Voldemort was so naïve and cute), and another son of prophecy, Neville Longbottom, stepped forward, and Voldemort humiliatingly put the Sorting Hat on his head and set it on fire.
Unaware of the symbolism of this act, the Dark Lord was tantamount to marking the Son of Prophecy in front of everyone again, and this Son of Prophecy broke free of the curse of bondage, drew the Gryffindor Sword from the Sorting Hat, and cut off Nagini's head.
Voldemort's last Horcrux was destroyed, harry potter was also "resurrected" in time, and in the final duel with Voldemort, he used the ownership of the old wand to rebound his killing spell, and a generation of demon kings fell, and they died without understanding what they had failed on.
