Introduction:
Professor Trelawney's prophecy, which foretold the fate of the Harry Potter series, predicted the destinies of both Harry Potter and Voldemort. She said, "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not... and either must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives..."
The meaning of the prophecy:
This means that one of them must eventually kill the other. However, the question that raises doubts is the first part of the prophecy, "either must die at the hand of the other." With the death of Voldemort, does this mean that Harry Potter is now immortal?
The scene of Harry's death:
There is a scene where Harry Potter is killed by Voldemort. Harry "dies" and then comes back to life. When Voldemort used the Killing Curse, he actually killed the unintended Horcrux of his soul that was in Harry's body, and not Harry himself.

My thoughts:
The Horcrux, as we know, is a high-level black magic object. The Dark Lord himself was afraid of death, so he tried to find immortality by creating Horcruxes and searching for Nicholas Flamel's Philosopher's Stone to use it to achieve immortality.
Unfortunately, the Horcrux is even worse than death. It is the collection of soul fragments that are cut off as a result of murder. These fragments are present in objects that are Horcruxes. This is what the Dark Lord did. In his quest for glory and immortality, the Dark Lord became trapped in a state of being neither dead nor alive. He was weak, lost, and scattered because of his fragmented soul. Even if the Dark Lord had not died completely, because parts of his soul would have remained, the Horcrux is a horrible and frightening thing.
As for Harry, he is a human who did not cut or separate his soul. Therefore, if he dies, he dies and that's it.
Additional details:
- The prophecy was made when Harry was only a baby.
- Voldemort was aware of the prophecy and tried to kill Harry when he was a baby.
- Harry survived Voldemort's attack and became known as "the Boy Who Lived."
- Harry and Voldemort eventually faced each other in a final battle, and Harry defeated Voldemort.
- The prophecy was fulfilled when Voldemort was killed by Harry.
Conclusion:
The prophecy of Professor Trelawney played a major role in the Harry Potter series. It shaped Harry's destiny and led him to his ultimate confrontation with Voldemort. The prophecy is a complex and fascinating piece of the Harry Potter mythos, and it continues to be debated and discussed by fans today.
