If the elder wand recognises its true owner, it's not supposed to harm the latter.... But how did the Killing curse performed by Voldermort thru the elder wand, "killed" harry the first time when harry walked in to sacrifice his life? The elder wand wasnt supposed to work at all against Harry...
Please explain

essentially, it didnt actually harm harry. the wand only killed the part of harry that was actually voldemort. it killed the piece of voldemorts soul inside harry, but not harry himself becuase obviously, he came back to life.
hope that helps!

The part of Voldemort inside Harry was killed the first time, not Harry. The wand killed the part of Voldemort, but it wouldnt harm Harry because the wand was Harry's.
Sorry if it is too confusing...

Dumbledore had it. Disarmed with the help of Malfoy yet Malfoy did no longer have the wand. It grew to become into buried with Dumbledore . Malfoy disarmed with the help of Harry and Harry took Malfoy's wand no longer the elder wand. Voldemort broke into Dumbledore's tomb and took the elder wand thinking that he disarmed Dumbledore... Voldemort then used the elder wand to kill Harry. Harry knew that he grew to become into the genuine grasp of the elder wand. The wand went to Harry and Voldemort died. -the top-

Harry wasn't defending himself at the time if I remember correctly. The second time then Harry used the disarming spell, the elder wand did back fire on Voldemort.

It didn't recognize it's owner at first, until Harry was in a death-like state. Then when the wand realized that it was using itself against his owner, it killed voldemort with avada kerdava

It didn't kill harry because he was the 'true master' of the elder wand. He just had a dream instead.

It didn't necessarily kill Harry. It only killed the part of Voldemort's soul inside Harry. Harry was not harmed in any way by it.

Harry did not fight it as he did later. Had he done so, it would have never gone against him. And judging from the fact that it knocked Voldemort on his back side when he cast the killing curse, it may not have wanted to do so then.

Harry wasn't it's true owner. Draco was. Harry says at the end that the reason Voldemort couldn't kill him was because Voldemort killed Snape, but Snape wasn't it's rightful owner because he and Dumbledore planned his death. Since Draco was supposed to kill him, he would have been. But it basically died with Dumbledore.

It didn't kill him, he just lay on the ground and had a dream. Voldermort did the same thing and they both woke up at the same time except Harry kept pretending he was dead.
