Why Voldemort's Avada Kedavra LOST to Harry's Expelliarmus - Harry Potter Explained

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. Let me just start off by saying a big thank-you to you all for all of your support with the channel!

In this video we’re going to be addressing the question: How did Harry’s Expelliarmus match Voldemort’s Avada Kedavra in the graveyard scene in the Goblet of Fire? What’s interesting about this scene is that it almost suggests that Harry is Voldemort’s equal, but that is really not the case. So, how did he contend with the dark lord himself? As we know, this scene marks the proper return of Lord Voldemort after a long hiatus. Before this point in time, Voldemort had still been trapped other, weaker forms. First, a whisp-like form, and then his rudimentary form, a form that only barely gave him a physical presence.

You see, Voldemort could not truly return until he was given a regeneration potion, an ancient dark potion that helps restore non-corporeal wizards to their bodies. It just so happened that Little Hangleton was the location of one of the most important ingredients in the potion - bone of father. The potion as a whole required 3 ingredients, bone of father, flesh of servant, and blood of foe. To create this potion, Wormtail and Barty Crouch jr helped Voldemort source these ingredients. They were able to create the potion successfully by using wormtail’s flesh, Voldemort’s father’s bone, and harry’s blood. All of the ingredients were then placed inside of a cauldron, and Voldemort’s rudimentary form was placed inside.

After assuming his new all-powerful form, Voldemort summons an array of Deatheaters and begins to address Harry. Voldemort, in typical Voldemort fashion, begins his monologue and essentially proclaims that Harry’s survival 13 years prior was purely a fluke. I think that Voldemort was doing this weird peacocking to prove to the Deatheaters that he was still powerful, and that he wouldn’t be outdone again. Or would he?

What happened next? Well, let’s start with the passage from the book:

“A jet of green light issued from Voldemorts wand just as a jet of red light blasted from Harry's — they met in midair — and suddenly Harry's wand was vibrating as though an electric charge were surging through it; his hand seized up around it; he couldn't have released it if he'd wanted to — and a narrow beam of light connected the two wands, neither red nor green, but bright, deep gold…”
