But if that’s the case, why did the wand kill Harry the first time in the woods? Why didn’t it just fly out, spin around, and hit Voldemort then?
At that specific point Harry Potter was still the second to last existing horcrux (leaving Nagini as the last one) so you could say the Elder Wand was actually aiming for the piece of Voldemort horcrux.
During the final duel Harry Potter is no longer a Voldemort horcrux, he’s just himself at that point.
At least that’s my take on how that worked out but it’s been a bit since I’ve read the books, maybe there’s a detail I’m forgetting.



The Boys is about non-superhero characters in a superhero universe, pretty much matches your post question. The core group of people (“The Boys”) start out as regular people living in a world being trashed by people with superpowers.
As the series progresses it does veer off from that but maybe the first season is closer to what you’re looking for.
