"To Harry Potter -- the Boy Who Lived!"
-- Wizard toast 1981 (PS1)

The Boy Who Lived

When Harry Potter’s parents were attacked and killed by Voldemort on Halloween night in 1981, he not only survived but miraculously vanquished the Dark Lord. Within 24 hours, he had been nicknamed “The Boy Who Lived” (PS1).

  • The Fake Moody told the Defence Against the Dark Arts class that Harry was the only one ever to survive a Killing Curse (GF14).
  • Harry's other nicknames include "The Chosen One" (HBP3) and "Undesirable Number One" (DH13).
