What is the worst day in Harry Potter’s life?

Harry Potter has had some bad days in his life but which one is the worst? We think we have it figured out and it is pretty sad.

Have you ever stopped to think about what day was the worst for Harry Potter? I know it’s hard because he’s had a lot of bad days but just think about it. What day was really and truly the worst thing that ever happened to him?

Personally, I’d say it was the day his parents died because it started everything. Yes, he doesn’t remember it since he was just a baby but still. He would have at least had to deal with the fall out of it for the rest of his life.

So I think that yes, maybe Harry Potter had some bad days that he remembers and probably has the day he thinks is the worst but I think that it is the catalyst that should be at the top of the list. Without the death of Lily and James Potter, Harry would have lived a good life with loving parents and gone to magic school.

He would have probably been popular like his father and fallen in love and gotten married. He wouldn’t have been this special boy and he wouldn’t have had to die to stop the Dark Lord. Or maybe he’d end up dead because Voldemort wouldn’t have been defeated.

Who knows because it isn’t what happened and while it is fun to think about, the reality is that that day started all the bad ones after it. So without Voldemort coming into his home in Godric’s Hollow after the betrayal of Peter Pettigrew, Harry Potter would not be the boy we now know him to be.

He’d be just some normal kid, or maybe even he’d be dead, but still, this series wouldn’t exist and nothing would have happened. So Harry’s worst day? When his parents died. I don’t care what the drama queen Harry Potter thinks.
