10. The First Encounter with Voldemort

In "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," Voldemort is responsible for Harry Potter's survival. According to the story, Harry bears the iconic scar because a piece of Voldemort's soul was struck inside him. He was given special powers like Parseltongue & mental images of Voldemort because of this link. Harry was spared when Voldemort attempted to murder him since the curse merely shattered the fragment of his soul. Harry was constantly helped by this unintentional Horcrux, which finally helped him avoid death & destroy Voldemort. Thus, we can say that magic is unpredictable!

9. The Ministry of Magic

In "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1," law enforcement interrupts the Slytherin locket mission after the "Ministry of Magic" infiltrators get apprehended. Harry enters Grimmauld Place without being aware of the fatal circumstance, where Yaxley, the Death Eater, holds Hermione prisoner. Following the mission exposure, Hermione gave them concealed encouragement for their protection. Harry had no chance of detecting the deadly threat until it became too late when law enforcement would capture them.

8. Azkaban Escape

Azkaban, known for its near-impossible security, witnessed six prisoner escapes, one aided by the Dementors. A single inmate succeeded in an unassisted prison escape, and the audiences speculated that it could have been Rodolphus Lestrange. Harry Potter survived death through his determination and the magical protection bestowed by his mother's selfless act. In "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," the magical force of Voldemort's dark spell eliminated only a bit of his soul piece in Harry while leaving the young wizard unharmed for the upcoming final confrontation.

7. Surviving the Chaos at Lovegood's House

In "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1," the stroke of good fortune fell on Harry through Hermione's astute action at the home of Xenophilius Lovegood.

During their flight from the Death Eaters, Hermione thought quickly and prevented their capture, which revealed her clever mind and courageous spirit yet again.

6. Gryffindor’s Sword: A Deadly Quest

During a terrifying time in the forest, Harry tracks a puzzling Patronus in the form of a doe to locate the Sword of Gryffindor that rests below a frosty surface. Harry charges forward blindly until he gets caught by the evil Horcrux surrounding his neck, which drags him deeper into the icy water. Harry finally escapes certain death when Ron bursts out of the darkness to save him from the water’s depths as darkness prevails. Ron rescues Harry at the exact moment before a tragic end by proving their indestructible bond in dangerous circumstances.

5. Harry's Quest for Horcruxes

In Deathly Hallows 1 and 2, Harry mostly depended on Hermione's resourcefulness and practical insight during the difficult quest for Horcrux. Hermione prepared meals, gathered groceries, and packed necessary supplies, like the critical "Essence of Dittany," to ensure the three of them survived while they tented in seclusion. Without Hermione's careful planning, Harry's impulsive behavior might have resulted in his shameful death from malnutrition. Her steadfast assistance and clever preparation were crucial to his survival during the arduous search.

4. Escaping the Chamber of Secrets

During his twelfth year, Harry fighting Tom Riddle and the Basilisk establishes his fearless nature while defending the Chamber of Secrets. Since wizard magic becomes out of reach, Harry uses his bravery & exceptional speed of thought. The dangerous situation develops because Fawkes successfully persuades the Sorting Hat to free the Sword of Gryffindor following the phoenix's interruption of the hat process. Harry pushes the Basilisk into submission by withdrawing the sword after it appears from his side. At the conclusion, Harry survives unharmed because Fawkes brings healing tears to avert his fatal wound.

3. Narrow Escape from Fiendfyre

Harry Potter and his companions enter the "Room of Requirement" during the intense battle to retrieve Voldemort's Horcrux, which contains Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem that vanished. As per the plot, Draco Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle surprise Harry Potter and his companions at that moment. A careless spellcasting by Crabbe leads Fiendfyre to appear, causing the area to burn in an uncontrollable magical blaze. During this destructive blaze, the Horcrux burns to nonexistence as the flames endanger every surviving person inside that location. Through sheer luck, Harry and his companions stay alive by using their broomsticks to flee at the last moment.

2. Cedric's Death

In "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," Cedric and Harry face Wormtail and Voldemort after being taken by Portkey to a gloomy cemetery. Cedric is brutally murdered in a terrible turn of events. Our hero nearly avoids death as Voldemort turns his evil stare on Harry due to his bravery and fast thinking. After being hurt and distraught, he reaches for Cedric's dead body, turns on the Portkey, and leaves for Hogwarts. He is so distraught that he clings to Cedric to remember his departed companion.

1. The Attack on Privet Drive

In "Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix," Harry was spared death during the Privet Drive attack because of the strong magical protection spell that was cast on him when he was a baby, stemming from his mother Lily Potter's sacrifice. This protection kept Voldemort from hurting Harry directly at Dursley's home until he was seventeen, which allowed the Order of the Phoenix to safely reallocate him just before the attack.
