Detailed explanation-1: -Harry was the only person to have ever survived an attack by Voldemort-by somehow rebounding the latter’s “killing curse”-which left him with a lightning-bolt-shaped scar on his forehead.
Detailed explanation-2: -A scar on Harry Potter’s forehead in the shape of a lightning bolt was the result of a failed murder attempt by Lord Voldemort on 31 October 1981, when he struck 15-month-old Harry with the Killing Curse.
Detailed explanation-3: -It’s not just a random lightning bolt (which almost seems too basic for Rowling, in a sense). It’s the sign for the very spell that Voldemort used to kill Harry’s parents, resulting in the scar on his forehead.
Detailed explanation-4: -What happened to Harry’s scar after Voldemort was killed? The scar was still visible. Just as any other surgery scar, where a tumor has been removed. (See below, the cast photo from the play “The Cursed Child” shows the middle-aged Harry Potter with the scar.)
Detailed explanation-5: -The lightning bolt scar that was so vibrant in the first films has almost completely disappeared. The scar is no longer dark, and instead has faded almost to his usual skintone. Scars do fade with time, but J.K Rowling wrote in the book that: “The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well."
