Harry Potter Theory

In Harry Potter, the fate of the Wizarding World essentially rests on the destruction of Voldemort’s Horcruxes. With his Horcruxes intact, Voldemort is essentially tethered to the mortal realm no matter WHAT the outcome- which obviously makes ending his tyrannical regime a tall order.

But instead of the most powerful wizard of all time leading the charge, the task is left to a 17 year old.
