Harry Potter: The Psychological Path.

He was born of love, but grew up without it. This is his wound: he knows he deserves warmth, but he doesn’t feel it. So everything he does is search for home. Not a building. But a state: to be seen, needed, loved.
Harry is not a hero by choice, but by pain. He is denied a normal childhood, and instead of protection, he is given the expectation of saving the world. He does not call for a feat - the feat calls him. Harry does not fight evil - he fights for meaning. He wants to understand: why did he survive if he feels dead inside?
Friends become the pillars of support he lacked in childhood. Ron is warmth. Hermione is intelligence. Sirius is the dream of a family. Dumbledore is disappointment in authority. Each of them is a mirror: in them he recognizes himself, in parts.
Harry is always on the border between light and darkness. Evil lives inside him - a piece of Voldemort. He is capable of cruelty, revenge, contempt. But every time he takes a step towards the light - not because he is perfect, but because he chooses.
The climax is not a battle, but a surrender. When he goes to his death, he does not defeat Voldemort - he lets go of the fear of death. And only then does he become an adult: through acceptance, not through force.
Harry is the archetype of the Soul that survived the darkness without losing its heart. He didn't become all-powerful. He became alive. And that's real magic.
