Theme of Choice and Chance in Harry potter



                                                       


Theme of choice and Chance:

        Theme of choice and chance we see in every series of Harry Potter. In the Very first book of the series begins with Lily’s Choice to protect her son at the cost of her own life. The question of choice v/s chance run throughout the Harry Potter series. The question of chance v/s choice appears first at the end of “Chamber of secrets”, when Riddle/Voldemort tells Harry that “It was merely a luckey chance that saved you”.  Dumbledore subsequently tells Harry in chamber of secrets that,

“It is our choices , that show what we truly are far more than our abilities”.

                                  


          Throughout the series, Voldemort continues to insist on chance as the cause of his downfall. Dumbledore insists on the importance of personal choice in determining outcome, rather than either chance or fate. The character of harry potter always choose choice in entire series of the novel “Harry Pottere”. For example in part – 4 Harry Potter and the Globlet of Fire” Harry mack choice to save his friend’s life.

        Over and over again in the novels it is made clear that it is a person’s choices and action that are the defining elements of his moral chracter. Neville Longttom chooses not to step aside so that Harry, Ron and Hermione can leave their dormitory to go looking for the sorcerer’s stone and In deathly Hallows he chooses to fight on at Hogwarrts even after the death eaters tacke over.

        The choices made in the novels are not all for the good but some time it is also for the bad thing. For example Peter Pettigrew make the choice to betray his friends and thus forever casts his lot with the forces of evil. Tom’s mother Chooses her own death instead of staying alive to care for her son. Draco malfoy chooses to accept voldemort’s assignment and becames a death eater himself.
So in choice v/s chance all character make their own choice rather it was good or bad thing.

Thank you…
