The question of choice versus chance runs throughout the Harry Potter series. In the first part of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. We come to know that Harry asked the Sorting Hat not to be in Slytherin, and that is why he was placed in Gryffindor. At that time he was talking with Harry like.
“Not Slytherin, eh?” said the small voice “Are you sure? You could be great, you know, it’s all here in your head, and Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, no doubt about that – no? Well, if you are sure – better be GRYFFINDOR!”
Thus, he chose to be in Gryffindor or Slytherin on his first day at Hogwarts, which demonstrated his choice's values and in turn determined whom he became friends with and what experiences he had.
Dumbledore subsequently tells Harry that "it is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
One of the examples of doing what is right is how Harry, Hermione, and Ron all choose to go to the forbidden level of the castle to do the right thing and stop the villain from getting the powerful sorcerer’s stone.
Nietzsche’s position on fate and free will surfaces only sporadically in his literature and in its succeeding criticism, especially compared to his recurrent theories on human will to power, religion, morality, and virtue. Nietzsche more clearly defines free will. This force permits complete freedom: “Free will appears as unfettered, deliberate; it is boundlessly free, wandering, the spirit.
The Harry Potter books offer Dickerson’s “meaning” to readers by
treating such themes as fate and free will. At the same time, Rowling leaves her audience with a Nietzsche moral through Harry’s actions: by recognizing personal talents and accepting limitations, readers may embody heroes, reaching to excel within their personal limitations.
