"Is this all real? Or has this been happening inside my head?"

The topic of this article is of a real-life subject that has been mentioned "in-universe" in a canon source. The Harry Potter Wiki is written from the perspective that all information presented in canon is true (e.g., Hogwarts really existed), and, as such, details contained in this article may differ from real world facts.

"Bill! Thank God, thank God –"
— Molly Weasley hugging her son Bill after the Battle of the Seven Potters[src]

God is the omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and omnibenevolent being as defined by certain theistic and deistic religions (and other belief systems) who is most often conceived of as the supernatural creator and overseer of the universe. In many Muggle societies, God is usually a central figure in their religions.[1]

Description[]

"So that's little Scorpius. Make sure you beat him in every test, Rosie. Thank God you inherited your mother's brains."
— Ron Weasley to his daughter upon seeing Scorpius in 2017[src]

Many wizards, witches and Muggles often used terms such as thank God and oh my God to express excitement, shock, awe, dismay, or supplication; analogous to the wizard-used Merlin's beard.[2][3][4]

While many religions share the same basic conception of God, they may differ over the ideas of the dictates passed down by him and how one may best serve him. This can sometimes lead to conflicts, and the creation of organisations such as Al-Hiraza, which engaged in actions designated as terrorism.[5]

God in Christianity[]

In Christianity, God is viewed as the all-powerful, all-knowing, and eternal creator of the universe. He is often understood as a Trinity: Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit.[1] The creation of Adda is described in the Bible, where God formed Adda, the first human.[6]

In accordance to Cyfaddasrwydd y Drefn o Gadwedigaeth trwy Ffydd, a theology religious book, the concept of salvation and faith served as the key means by which individuals received forgiveness from God. The system by which God forgives was portrayed as just, as it allowed for divine mercy to coexist with the upholding of righteousness.[6]
