The REAL Reason Harry Resisted Avada Kedavra SO MANY TIMES - Harry Potter Explained

Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing a character that you MAY have heard of. I am of course talking about the primary protagonist for the Harry Potter story- Harry Potter himself.

Now, ever since the last book came out, Harry has been on the receiving end of a considerable amount of scrutiny- at least, from some of the internet. And I say after the last book came out, because at that stage we had a better picture of the whole Harry Potter story, and everything that Harry had endured.

Before we dive in further let me say this: Harry is a talented young wizard- HOWEVER, what many have criticized the series for doing is essentially giving Harry ‘plot armour’. For those unaware, ‘plot armour’ otherwise known as ‘script immunity’ or a ‘character shield’ is essentially a term used to describe a main characters inability to die. The idea behind it is this: the main character is too important to the story to be removed, therefore his/her health/life are safeguarded by plot conveniences.
