One thing I fucking despise about Harry Potter is the smarmy way it tries to have a mea culpa about its exaltation of blood family by depicting a virtual chosen family in the Weasleys As if Molly or anybody would have given a rat's ass if Harry wasn't a wealthy beloved celebrityhttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1337255049722916864 …

Way number 8497 the books could have been more interesting: that was his peek, and he ended up not being particularly good at anything. He was special because his mother loved him. That's it. (We'll ignore the question of whether Voldemort's other victims had loving mothers)

I would absolutely be into the idea of a Chosen One whose ONLY thing is that he's Chosen and isn't actually good at anything else, and this fact greatly bothers him on a deep psychological level

He does everything he can to make himself Worthy; he trains hard, he studies everything, to justify how everyone else sees him. To no avail. He's always too little, too late. He becomes the Hero they Deserve only after they no longer Need him. And he's free.
