Or was someone else chosen before him… and failed? Today J dives deep into the forgotten legacy of Regulus Arcturus Black—Slytherin’s golden boy, secret Horcrux hunter, and perhaps… the original Chosen One. We’ll explore how his death may have triggered the prophecy, how his values mirror Harry’s, and why his sacrifice in the cave holds more power than we ever realized. Could the Boy Who Lived be walking in the footsteps of the Boy Who Died? 👉 Let us know in the comments: Was Regulus the First Chosen One?
