Antibiotics work on bacteria because bacteria is a living organism that reproduces through cell division. Antibiotics work to interrupt that process of reproduction.
Contrary to popular belief, viruses are not living organisms. They are DNA instructions that must get inside a host cell in order to be activated. Once activated, they use the DNA replicating ability of the host cell to create more viruses. Because they are not living organisms themselves, they cannot be killed by any form of antibiotic.

Antibiotics work in a variety of ways:
1. Allows genomic tangles to occur
2. Inhibit cell wall Synthesis or maintenance
3. Inhibit protein synthesis
4. The inhibition of metabolic processes
Viruses utilize the host cell to replicate the viral genome and to make proteins required to make the next generation of viruses. They do not utilize any of these processes, thus antibiotics do not work on them.

Harry Potter is completely wrong and basically just explained how attenuated vaccines are created for viruses.
Max is wrong in that Virus may or may not be considered "living" that is still a debate within the scientific community, as some argue viruses are essentially the bare minimum when it comes to survival; in that they utilize the host's genetic machinery - much like a molecular parasite. Their evolution is also shaped by the laws of nature and natural selection.
Go with the third answer.

antibiotics are made of dead or weakened bacteria . When an antibiotic is given to you it removes the disease causing bacteria and also it prevents it form entering your body in future but viruses live on the border line .
They can't survive without a host body .
