Chapter 37
In this chapter, Harry is freed by Wormtail and forced to duel Voldemort in front of the Death Eaters. Despite intense pain from the Cruciatus Curse and attempts to control him with the Imperius Curse, Harry resists and engages Voldemort in a magical duel where their wands connect, producing a golden light that summons echoes of Voldemort's victims, including Cedric Diggory. This connection creates a protective barrier and introduces a mysterious, hopeful element through the phoenix song and the spectral figures emerging from Voldemort's wand.
