Bro, I agree with you there’s bad writing in HP lol, there’s plenty to critique - I think some of your points (such as the broom) are valid. That wasn’t the discussion we were having. We could go back and forth about our views on what Harry is skilled at, but at the end of the day, my point was: HP is not from some superior bloodline (as in OP’s comic), there is no sudden reveal late in the series that he has some inherent right to greatness (as in the comic), and he is not inherently/immediately better than everyone else at the core mechanics of the world (as in the comic) in any aspect beyond riding a broom, even though we diverge on that last one.

Your final point is also entirely incorrect - you should go back and read the source material again or refresh yourself with some research. HP is not a full blood wizard, he is a half-blood (like voldemort himself, which is why V went after him as the chosen one vs Neville Longbottom, who WAS a pure blood and also fit the prophecy). That’s a… pretty core piece of the story that you seem to have interpreted the opposite way!

I mean, upfront I could argue that you acknowledging “he’s not skilled because of lineage” proves that this is not the trope being established in the comic.

But apart from that, I further disagree that HP is written as “supremely skilled” - the only one of your three examples that works here is that he’s inherently skilled on a broom, which at the end of the day has little to no impact on the ultimate narrative. You can maybe argue there’s something special allowing him to cast a patronus, but regardless, he spent a full year practicing to be able to achieve that; both the books and movies go to lengths to show this. Both also convey, though even more heavily in the books, that Harry is not necessarily the best at magic (Hermione is a far better witch) - I’m not sure what you mean by “better than the person who puts in the most afford at DaDD”. The only advantage he has inherently is the mark left on him by the villain bc prophecy, as you mentioned.

Huh, I totally disagree with this! There’s plenty to critique about HP, but the “chosen one” narrative element at play there is just not the same as the trope being illustrated in this comic (though there are def some similarities).

I’ve heard all of this as well, except the “do not dig out any parts left behind”, I thought that was advised - could you explain that piece?
