It Also Happens To Be The Wand Movement For The Curse As Well
It also happens to be the wand movement for the curse as well
OMG CALLING ALL HARRY POTTER FANS
So u know how we've complained for YEARS that Harry's scar doesn't look like an actual lightning bolt??
I just figured out why (maybe somebody else figured this out already idk but im excited)
It's not a lightning bolt at all. It's eihwaz.
Let me explain. There's been speculation over the years that Harry's scar looks more like a backwards Z than a lightning bolt because that's the wand movement for Avada Kedavra.
We know that the wand movements in spells tend to ~kinda~ correspond to what the spell does (i.e. ascendio being a loopy upward motion)
But I would be willing to bet that certain spells (like powerful curses) would want to pull on something more powerful than "wand motion for up spell is up". Solution: ancient runes as wand movements.
Anyone who's read the Harry Potter books probably remembers when Hermione starts taking Ancient Runes and she has a line about mixing up the runes "ehwaz" and "eihwaz" during her exam. Therefore, we know that Elder Futhark (Old Norse) runes are part of the Harry Potter canon, and are significant enough that there's an entire class dedicated to their study.
As anyone familiar with the runes knows, each of the runes has multiple meanings. Eihwaz's most literal translation is "yew tree" and it has a multitude of figurative meanings, the most notable being death.
Yep, you read that right. It makes sense, seeing as the yew tree has been associated with death for centuries, which I believe is why JKR picked that as Voldy's wand wood.
What better way to give a killing curse some more oomph than to make its wand movement literally mean die?
Here's the kicker. Eihwaz looks like this:

In conclusion: Harry never had a lightning bolt scar. The scar on his forehead is Voldemort's hastily air-drawn Eihwaz, which is the Ancient Rune for the killing curse.

If we’re not on worlds edge in some capacity next season I’m taking the season off bc I cannot deal with Olympus and kings canyon for another season I simply cannot do it
I’m pretty aggressive/usually the flank for my team. I main wraith but I’d also be willing to play lifeline, path or Bangalore, ive got 5.6k kills on wraith and 1.2k on bang if that’s any help
welp. I’m tilted at Apex a little but I think I should just experiment with some new folks….
would be willing to play if you’re aggressive and have some experience
I’d really like a lore event to be honest, it’s been almost a year since we had a proper lore event
This collection event seems to be coming fairly early in this season. I have to wonder what else they're gonna release after this because we're still gonna have a large chunk of time in the season left when it ends 🤔
Personally for me it's Final Sunset and Night Terror both are for wraith
the most horrible apex skin?
am doing a research
Hear me out, harry as Ted Tonks, Tom as Teddy Lupin




Harry Styles or Tom Holland as Ted Tonks?
