On this day, October 31st, 28 years ago, James and Lily Potter lost their lives in the fight against Voldemort. Their son, Harry, survived the attack in a legendary sacrificial magic that eventually changed the turn of events for years to come. (This is all in the fiction realm of JKR’s universe, btw)
Pettigrew betrayed the Potters to Voldemort, who attacked the family in Godric’s Hollow on Halloween night. Voldemort killed James and then Lily with the Killing Curse, but he first gave Lily the opportunity to save herself, at the request of Snape, who had been in love with Lily for years. When she refused, Voldemort killed her, unknowingly invoking ancient magic that protected Harry when Voldemort then attempted to murder him. The Killing Curse rebounded, leaving Harry the only known survivor and Voldemort temporarily defeated.
Rest in Peace, Potters
