In the first book Fred and George enchanted snow balls to hit Professor Quirrell in the back of his turpin. Which unbeknownst to the twins they were really hitting Voldemort in the face.
0:43 Voldemort didn't set the Basilisk guarding the diary, he gave it to Lucius for safe-keeping. Lucius was the one who ensured it got to the Chamber of Secrets.
Lucius didn’t know it got into the Chamber, he gave it to Ginny when he met them at Flourish and Blotts. From there Tom Riddle manipulated Ginny to open the Chamber.
But Dumbledore does theorize that Voldemort intended to use the diary as a weapon. Therefore it seemed that it was his intention for the diary to be used to open the chamber of secrets, though obviously not in the way that it happened. So he does intend to use the diary to let loose the basilisk, which still is a pretty dumb decision given how all but 2 of the horcruxes were killed with basilisk venom.
My research tells me that "horh" is Old English for "phlegm"... So, actually, "horcrux" means "container for phlegm". ...And what contains phlegm? A NOSE*! ...And Tom Riddle gave up his *nose to create his horcruxes! *Mystery solved*.
But Voldemort's consciousness never tried to take over and live inside of harry/Nagini. So maybe if Voldemort tried to resurrect himself through the horcruxes inside them, then they would grow his face too?
@@iRsemple he can’t be a horcrux because it is clearly stated that a peace of soul can’t leave or survive without one, and Voldemort leaves before quirrel dies without destroying part of his soul
To me, it was possession, too. It wasn't a splittet of Soul that was contained somewhere, it was the source of the splits, the "creator", that survived because of the horcruxes he created, but did needed a host to travel and some hands to do his things...
1:10 The Basilisk wasn't guarding the Horcrux, it was guarding the Chamber of Secrets. Lucius was the one safeguarding the diary until he gave it to an unaware Ginny.
Please stop giving that lunatic lady new ideas to ruin the saga even more! JK please STOP adding unnecessary information and let Harry Potter rest in peace!!!
Sarii Sbai im sure she did. Because she said when thirteen done together the first to rise is the first to die. She said this before there were thirteen people but scabbers was in rons pocket. Dumbledore stood up
Flying Fish that's a technique frauds commonly use. she could tell neville was clumsy and most likely to break the cup. just like the prediction for lavender. something is sure to go wrong in the course of a full month!
theoneismememe "Later Trelawney again met Harry in the corridors, and this time complained that Dumbledore had been repeatedly dismissing her warnings of impending disaster. She looked at some Tarot cards and saw, "... the lightning-struck tower... Calamity. Disaster. Coming nearer all the time...". This seems to predict the events of Dumbledore's death on the Astronomy Tower. "

But the basilisk wasn't guarding the diary, Lucius had the diary. The basilisk was doing the bidding of the parselmouth who told him "only listen to me, I am your true master", and the diary horcrux was becoming a physical manifestation outside of its evil Tupperware.
And! How did Fred and George know how to open and close the Mauraders map? Like the words "I solemly swear that I am up to no good" and the other one "Mischeif managed"
@@OptimusPhillip I've always wondered about that. I just figured those would be lines they might say at one point or another and they sort of just stumbled across the right words while having some conversation, but this probably makes more sense, lol
If Rowling had included the instructions on how to make a Horcrux in the novels some idiot would have tried it by now. what if Dobby made an elf- horcrux?
im remembering that voldemort was planning on making his final horcrux with the murder of harry (a significant death, killing the chosen one) so it is plausable that part of horcrux creation is preparing the FULL seperation of a soul from the body (otherwise accidental horcrux's would be a lot more common) so i always assumed that voldy did horcrux spell part one before killing harry, and assumably once harry was dead he would direct the soul segment to the vessel of choice. BUT he did not kill harry and "died" himself, leaving his soul peice from the horcrux creation floating in the room, at which point we know the rest, the soul default withut direction went to the only living thing around, harry
@lord voldemort i would assume there would be multiple instances where a killer also dies. the situation often hapens in the real world, so in magic, just as plausable. either the accidental horcrux is oddly specific (noting we do have examples of horcrux creation where the killing curse is not involved) or this situation should have happened enough for this to happen. especially in a war with many many people killing and dying in the space of a few seconds
@adriacstarks GREAT queston, and there is no evidence on anything, though i do have an option. i would assume it was something on voldys person or on the potter household. due to a lack i would guess something belonging to godric gryfindor a prefect option is, in fact, the sword of griffindor. how he got it is questionable, but he could steal it and it is beleiable that if it was not in the posession of the potters, which is an option, being in godrics birthplace, godrics hollow, is another fine guess. or maybe voldy stole it the sword would not only give him an object from all 4 founders, but it is also near indestructable and gets stronger with time (see absorbing the basilisk venom to strengthen itself). and also may be why it is not still there, assumable when found would have been removed and if it was not, than it would have teleported to harry. ALSO, the sword would be perfect. a horcrux can corrupt the holder, and the sword presens itself to true griffindors, so voldy can then corrupt the best people
I suppose you could look at Voldemort like a Lich, with a few differences. A Lich generally has a phylactery, which he or she uses to reform their physical body upon death, making them virtually immortal. Voldemort has 7 phylacteries as opposed to one. Upon dying to Harry his body died but his soul lived on, perhaps generating more and more power by possessing and draining smaller lifeforms until he had enough power to generate a new body near the horcrux he was closest to, which would be Nagini. This new body is the baby-like creature we see at the end of Goblet. This is why I think Quirrell wasn't a horcrux, but simply a vessel Voldemort could drain a significant amount of energy from for his eventual return.
Huh, interesting. I always imagined the Horcrux system more like... So, when most wizards die, their souls just go onto the 'beyond' or wherever book 7's train goes. But if it's been split, the attraction to the other pieces is stronger than the repulsion from the world a bodiless/vesselless soul would experience. So the consciousness attached to the piece of soul that left your former body snaps to and combines with the piece in one of the horcruxes, and the horcrux is your new 'body'. So with sufficient mind-magic (like legilimancy) you can influence or possess people from your new base of ominous operations.
You just put to words how I imagined it would work. Of course, the movies would show it differently, because from the perspective of that soul fragment it would be instant hence the 'snaps to and combines with...'Unless Voldemort just breaks the rules. What's the difference in perspective between normal possession and the travel of a soul from horcrux to horcrux? Because apparently Voldy can do both.
Troller Loller It's not exactly a person by that stage. Remember the quote 'I was less than a spirit, less than the meanest ghost...but still I was alive.'? I think at that point it is less to do with choosing to go into a piece of jellewry and more of being so desperate to remain alive that they are prepared to sacrifice everything not limited to body and movement.
Harry was definitely not kissed by a dementor. There were some close shaves, but had he actually been kissed then he would be gone and the series would have ended.
Komila Rakhimova He wasnt really kissed by a dementor. Dementor was just feeding himself with Harrys good memorys and things like that, but he didnt kissed him. If he did Harry would walk without soul trough rest of the series and he wouldnt be able to defeat Voldemort
really? that's kind of disappointing for her to explain it with something already exist in the book. Its like Horcrux is the only soul related magic Voldemort knows.
Jack Challenge For some reason, those three deaths were not very sad to me. Ok, Dobby was pretty sad. Don't freak out, but I don't really like Sirius, and Dumbledor was old, anyway, and he knew it was coming.
"You know I always kind of wondered which horcrux the consciousness would switch to if the original creator died" Ben that's literally impossible. Ben that's the whole point of a horcrux. Damnit, Ben. BEN.
brothers, you've screwed up one very basic rule regarding horcruxes- the destruction of the horcrux's physical container MUST destroy the soul shard. The soul shard does not linger on. That's the whole point of the horcrux hunt in DH. Quirrel was possessed by Voldemort's disembodied spirit, yes, but it wasn't the same thing. When Quirrel died - aka the container was destroyed - it did no damage whatsoever to Voldemort. In fact, Voldemort ABANDONED Quirrel before he died, something a horcrux CANNOT, ABSOLUTELY 100 PERCENT CANNOT NEVER EVER, do. Voldemort didn't absorb Quirrel's life force like Tom Riddle tried to do to Ginny, so it's really not the same as in CoS, especially because Tom Riddle was still bound to the diary. Voldemort was never bound to Quirrel's body. so, no, Quirrel was never a horcrux. Voldemort was known to be able to possess people, and he wasn't the only wizard to do it. Possession is not the same as being a horcrux. Please get your potter facts straight.
They're not saying that a he was a horcrux. They're saying he was a hore crux. He isn't a horcrux in terms of a perpetual and ultimate containment to a soul fragment (see the others for details), but a 'container of evil' - Voldemort being that evil.
Aaron Bolton Maybe the horocrux inside Harry was protecting him along with Lilys sacrifice? That's why Voldemort himself has to kill Harry on the seventh book, cause besides the venom or the fire Goyle summons, the very creator of the horocrux can destroy that piece of his soul. And Lily's sacrifice is also part of the reason why Voldemort couldn't kill baby Harry, and why Quirrell couldn't touch him. Maybe the combination of the two protected him; or maybe Harry was able to kill Quirrell cause he was also a Horcrux
Aaron Bolton it was explained in book one by Dumbledore, why Quirrell couldn't touch Harry. However, I thought that Quirell was cursed and that's why his faced burned whenever Harry touched it. I mean Firenze the centuar did say you become cursed the moment unicorn blood touches your lips. I thought that perhaps this was his curse due to the fact that he had been drinking unicorn blood.
Estella jaques Harry didn’t touch quirrell’s face in the books the movies made that up and no that’s no what the curse of unicorn blood is the curse is that you will constantly crave to consume more of the blood.
Falloutlover1011 oh thank you so much, I'm very pleased you replied to me I had been waiting for someone to reply to see what they think. Thanks for letting me know about that
Stella Fluetsch but Harry didn't black out technically till Voldemort's soul passed thru him( if by movie). The book does leave it vague that Harry blacks out but it's still death? so the act of seeing death is necessary not the conscience presence? I wish the magic of that would be explained one day
ZiggyTheWastelander Dunmer Master Race well one, Harry blacked out before the moment of death, so he didn't witness the actual moment that the sole left the body for the afterlife. Two, I think that even if he had witnessed his death, it wouldn't count because Prof. Querrel had Voldemort's soul leeching his own, and it was slowly destroying his sole. His sole was so destroyed by the time that Harry killed him that it couldn't leave the body in the normal way, so it wasn't really a death in the sense that one thinks of death. It's kinda like if you put a square peg in a square hole, and it gets messed up inside the hole so that it doesn't fit to pull it back out. Sorry if that sounded a little (or a lot) confusing
ZiggyTheWastelander Dunmer Master Race In the books (which are the actual legit evidence, since they were created first and directly from JK Rowling) Harry passes out as Quirrell is ripped away from him by Dumbledore. So no, he didn't actually see Quirrell die.
I don’t know how Voldemort can even “accidentally create a horcrux (Harry)” when the method on how to make a horcrux was so despicable that jk Rowling couldn’t tell us.
because splitting your soul from one whole (even if its broken) into two different entities needs a tremendous amount of effort, but Voldemorts soul at the point of attacking Harry was already sooo fragile and broken, that it ended up splitting by itself, without any extra efford needed anymore. It clearly says so in the books.. just not sure where :)
SierraMascara28 The part of his soul that was left in voldy after he made his horcruxes was in quirrell while he was possessed but left before his death. Conclusion: For the amount of time he was possessed by voldy quirrell indeed was a horcrux hope that helped :)
Harry and Quirrell are actually confirmed to be something similar to a horcrux called a pseudo-horcrux in which their creator unintentionally creates a horcrux and they have the same function although the pseudo-horcrux dosen't require the spell and this also a pseudo-horcrux dosen't become a dark object or being that will cause destruction to anything that endangers it
If Harry was a pseudo-horcrux, and as such doesn't protect itself when threatened, why was it that the golden flames were produced outside of Harry's will to protect himself? The explanation given for that was the piece of Voldemort's soul was doing what a typical horcrux does.
Harry becomes an unintentional horcrux when Voldemort attacks him, but doesn't get taken over like Quirrel or controlled. Even V doesn't realize where the connection to Harry comes from at 1st, then tries to use the connection but is only able to make him see things to manipulate his emotions, he can't control him. Maybe the magic of his mother's sacrifice was continually fighting the horcrux ever since Harry was a baby to protect him, & that's why he showed some signs but not others. Also, the diary was able to show him things, but not put him in a trance like Ginny, though he had it for a while.
@@MrScotteh Nope, That was the wand itself, It sensed it's brother and through sensing voldemort and Harry it, under those specific circumstances does the wand shot the golden flames, It was the wand and Voldemort's tampering with fate that caused that.
You have to hold a leaf in your both for a month and then chant a sentence everyday for a month and then BAM! Your an animagus (I got this from pottermore)
Voldemorts Yew Wand was never found or spoken of again after he got the Elder Wand what if he made that a Horcrux before he died as a last ditch effort to keep himself alive?
That’s not correct. Voldemort murdered his grandparents and his father before. Since you split your soul with every murder in half of what it is, regardless of what happens with it afterwards, he only had 12.5% of his soul left before he created his first Horcrux. So that Horcrux merely contained 6.25% of his soul.
Even if the soul was already split, it was all still inside his body before creating the first horcrux. It's like a puzzle that's been taken apart. It's all still there, but it's together.Therefore, when he created the first horcrux it potentially could have been 50%. Since we don't know how to create a horcrux we can only speculate on how the soul is divided up.
If we're going on the technical definition of a horcrux being a vessel, then yes, Quirrell is a horcrux. But I would argue with you that, no, Quirrell is not a horcrux since the process to split his soul was not performed. Voldemort also took up residence in Quirrell because he was getting high off unicorn blood and unicorn blood cannot grant full life, so there is that.
is it possible that Nagini was the main carrier of Voldemort's soul. Voldemort immediately grew weak an began to deteriorate after Nagini died. there was no way for that part of Voldermort to escape like it did when it sensed danger before Quirrels death. just a thought as it could have been a tactical desision by Voldermrt as he thought there was more of a chnAce of himself being killed than the snake and why he cared so much more about the snake than anything else and always kept him close by Why?? because nagini was the main carrier of voldermorts soul. thoughts????
lps gameslilyanna Because just seeing someone die isn't enough, you must see someone die and understand that they're dying and what that means and when Harry was one year old he couldn't, but he could when Cedric died
I always thought that the horcruxes were more of a power source. I think that Voldemort (main soul) can stay alive because the Horcruxes can keep him alive simply by existing which is why they set out to kill the horcruxes (power sources) before killing the main conscious. I don't think a killing curse could ever kill Voldemort's main soul, just kills the shell and exposes the main conscious but so long as the other horcruxes are out there, the main conscious can't die. Sorry I hope that made sense.
That's my thought too. Another way is that the Horcruxes are like an anchor, holding Voldemort's soul to the mortal realm and preventing it from 'crossing over' or whatever to the great unknown. As long as the horcruxes exist, the soul can never leave in peace. It is 'less than a ghost', as Voldemort says, and has to live like a parasite off whatever living thing it can find, but still 'alive' in some sense. Destroying the Horcruxes was taking away Voldemort's safety net before pushing him to his doom.
Etho the Creative It wasn't persuasiveness, Voldemort, or Voldemort's horcrux self/soul, actually made her. This is explained in the 5th book when Ginny says, "seeing as you don't know anyone but me who's been possessed by You-Know-Who, and I can tell you how it feels." (page 499) This literally says that Ginny was possessed, not persuaded.
Nairbzilla no she was possessed by the piece of soul inside of the diary because she had accidentally given it access to her innermost thoughts and feelings to the point where it was able to use the amount of her soul that she had "poured" into it as a base to take over her mind and consume the rest of her soul, rebuild it as its own, and do what it had partially been created for (use the basilisk to attack the mugggle borne students at hogwarts). And yes it was made partially to attack muggle borns because Voldemort believed that he had so many and they were so well hidden that it wouldn't matter if he lost that one. Hope this answered your question.
I'm getting more and more confused now... if she was a Horcrux, did the piece of Voldemort's soul jump between her and the diary? Or did the piece of soul split itself out of its own free will? I find it odd that it could do that, if Voldemort can't even know when a Horcrux has been destroyed, much less control one... Overall the diary is the weirdest and most confusing Horcrux in all honesty. Lol
I've been wondering.. To make a horcrux, you split your soul in two. So when you create a second one, I assume that you split the remaining half? And so forth until, with harry for example, did he just carry around like 0,78% Voldemort soul? The way that JK rowling described it, then yes. Would that really influence harry all that much? Would, for example, less than 1% voldemort be enough to inherit parseltongue? And Voldemort also contains just 0,78% of his own soul. Seems a bit weird that a small ring contains more voldemort than the dark lord himself...
Actually, to be extremely technical, Quirrell *wasn't* a Horcrux. He held the original part of Voldemort's soul. The rest of the Horcruxes held the pieces of Voldemort's soul that were broken off, including Harry if you take your other theory into account, the one that (SPOILER) states that Voldemort killed Harry as part of a Horcrux Spell, intending to place part of his soul into the sword. (/SPOILER) Calling Quirrell a Horcrux is like calling Voldemort himself a Horcrux because his body held part of his own soul. But to answer @Gracelyn_Szynal, using this logic, Ginny would have been a Horcrux, too, because she would have housed the broken soul fragment from the diary.
Another question to ponder: When Voldemort possesses Harry Potter in the 5th book (Order of the Phoenix) How does Voldemort not know that there is a piece of his soul inside Harry Potter?
We can presume that given a sufficient long time rummaging around in Harry's mind, he would have worked it out. He was a bit distracted at the time. As to whether it is something he would instantly realized, we have no reason to expect that to happen. Harry is not actually constantly hearing Voldemort's thoughts in his head, so Voldemort does not necessary have his own thoughts to hear in Harry's head to tip him off.
I havent read the books in years, but wasnt voldy just a powerfull legilimans? That's why snape was teaching him to keep him out. Voldemort I believe also got inside all the students heads in the last book where he tells them all that he only wants harry, nobody else needs to die ? ... I might be getting myfacts wrong
But Voldemort has Nagini while he's still a weird fetus-looking thing, and I doubt he would've been strong enough to create a new horcrux in that condition.
Perhaps Voldemort split his soul in order to miniaturize it, to make it semi-permeable, so that he could crux his hore in just about anything he needed to?
So voldemort died after he created '7' horcruxes and was able to live on because he had horcruxces but which one did he go to after he died when he tried to kill Harry the first and he originally had 7 horcruxces so how did he use one and still have seven and what was the horcrux that he used
Zoe Bast If I’m understanding your question- he didn’t really “go” to a horcrux, he actually floated around as a lifeless spirit, something “less than human,” in Albania for a long time until he possessed this random dude that had nothing to do with his horcruxes-Quirrell. At that point, there was Voldemort, Harry, and 6 horcruxes. There are many ways to allow a horcrux to bring you back to life, and while the diary almost succeeded in one of those endeavors, Harry destroyed it, leaving 5 horcruxes (6, with Harry) and a total of 7, not 8, pieces of Voldemort’s soul left to be destroyed.
@@jh2o545 but that OG part that go to Quirell is still alive, how on earth he would ressurected with the daily? I mean there was still a part of his soul alive somewhere which ending up beeing that freak thing in HP4
Why do you think JK Rowling doesn't want to reveal how to make a Horcrux? Maybe a possible theory for a future video? A theory that explains how Horcruxes are actually made?
I think that she doesn't want to outline it because she is afraid of copycat murders/events by sick people trying it. It's happened before with other things.
I've seen theories on cannibalism, necrophilia, and other defecating rituals that are definitely not the subject of a family friendly book even one Riddled (see what I did there?) with murder.
JKR has actually specifically said that the process to make a horcrux is too gruesome that she made her editor sick and decided against it. Theories have been floating around about it being cannibalism and other such things, however those don't seem reasonable given that the bodies of Myrtle and the Riddle family were perfect and unmarked.
+Nyx Darklore Was her editor especially naive or a pansy or something? Murder, rape, gooey torture, necrophilia, etc. are disgusting but never are they *so* disgusting they make people literally vomit when they see it. So either her editor hates harsh reality, or it's just a cover.
Well, as for Pettigrew on the map, there are plenty of instances later in which Harry struggles to find someone because of the immense number of other students on the map. Pettigrew's name simply got lost in the shuffle and would have only been noticed if Ron and Scabbers happened to be nearby where Fred and George were being mischievous. They wouldn't have noticed any other parts of the map.
Do a video on The Trace! it's been bugging me for weeks as I've rewatched and reread the series trying to find a clear understanding of its practicality and functionality of it despite its initial discrimination being proved wrong in both the books and films.
Yeah, the Trace confuses me so much. Like, Dobby performs a hover charm and Harry gets busted, but Mr Wesley comes over to collect Harry for the World Cup and performs spell left, right and centre. I assume that can be explained by the fact that he had Harry's house connected to the flu network for that day, so the Ministry knew that Arthur would be there? Or does the mere fact that there's an adult wizard present stop the Trace from taking effect?
ElTeleron Not to mention how voldemort performed three killing curses to kill his father and grandparents at age 16 and then made his first horcrux and then altered his uncle's memories so he would confess to the crime later on.
The Shadow Demon yea the trace only detects magic not who cat the spell so for a family of wizards of the under age child doors a spell the ministry would think it was an adult they said in the book I believe that they pretty much have to trust the parents to enforce the law within their household
Haley Stites yeah but seeing as how the ministry is able to pinpoint what spell was used where and around who, I'm pretty sure the use of the killing curse and horcrux ritual would have raised more than one eye at the ministry and to the ministry's knowledge Tom should have been at the orphanage. its a plot hole that wrecks the trace completely but I also don't think J. K. Rowling had everything figured out at the start seeing as she breaks her own rules as the series progresses and completely messed up on the dates in the first 14 pagers of philosophers stone what saying here story starts on a Tuesday in 1981 Nov 1 when it was Sunday
The problem with that reasoning is this: once a Horcrux is created, the piece of soul can no longer come back to the creator unless the creator feels guilty about what they have done. Otherwise, once the vessel is destroyed, the piece of soul is destroyed as well. In Quirrel's case, Voldemort left him to die after Harry fatally wounded him. If Quirrel were a Horcrux, why would the other pieces of soul remain in their vessels even when they knew they were done for? Like, they could see Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Crabbe and Dumbledore use the sword, the Basilisk's fangs and Fiendfyre. Why did they stay in their vessels if they could leave them (since Voldemort left Quirrel)
I understand that the answer is no. Quirel was not a Horcrux. To make a spell or a potion you need a wand. When Voldemort lost his physical body, his soul stayed alive because of the existing horcruxes. But did not carry his wand with him to perform dark magic, such as making a new horcrux. He used Quirel and other animals as a hosts, but his soul left many times to feed (unicorn blood). He only got his wand back at the grave yard, in book 4, when Peter Petgrew gave it back to him.
Screaming Ghoul How Peter Petegrew got Voldemort's wand, I don't know. The first person in the Potter's house after Voldemort killed Harry's parents and tried to kill Harry was Snape, he held Lilian's head while Baby Harry cried.
Quirrell was probably not a horcrux. Rather the fact is that the "piece of Voldemort's soul" that was Voldemort himself, latched onto the body of Quirrell. This does not make him a horcrux though, it is more that the living piece of Voldemort used him as a pawn in which to travel.
Here's my question: how does the process of coming back to life via horcrux work? Is it like an extra life, which is used up when someone comes back to life, or it it like a saved game, that you can come back from infinite times? I ask, because Voldemort dies when he attacked Harry, and then comes back, presumably via one of his horcruxes. But we still have to go through destroying all of them. Does that mean that there is a Horcrux that was used up without having to be destroyed, or is it the saved game situation? Also, do they need to go through the same ritual involving blood of the enemy etc etc each time they come back to life via horcrux, or is that just a one time thing? Also Also, What was Voldemort's state at the end of Sorcerer's stone? The Ghost-ish thing that passes through Harry's body. Because it SURE SEEMS LIKE what happens every time they destroy a Horcrux: Something that takes the form of Voldemort's face flies at whoever destroyed it: Water in the chamber of secrets during deathly hallows part 2, Fire in the room of requirement during deathly hallows part 2, etc. I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS
Oh I wanna let you know that she did have the whole thing planned out from the beginning she said it herself. She said something like she knew from the start she wanted Harry and Voldemort to fight at the end.
she knew some of it, but the details werent. how much? has she planned aberforth being a big part in the end? how about planning on lupin and tonks dying? she had the bare bones, but not all the fles, the question is, how much DID she have like horcrux's and things planned
ElTeleron...I was going to say the same. That was just the logical conclusion. Harry & Voldemort were always meant to fight at the end. I think she knew SOME things, but not others. And then some things she HAD planned (like killing Mr. Weasley) didn't happen at all. Seeing as how there was such a huge gap in between books 4 & 5 coming out, I know she had a baby & stuff, but I think she took some time there to plan out the rest. So basically, I think she knew up to book 4 what was going to happen at the start, but only the outline of the rest. Not the details.
You mean the hero fights the villain in the last chapter? Of course that's going to happen. Most of the other stuff was clearly come up with as it was written or it would have been introduced earlier. Portkeys become a major plot device the year Harry learns about them (IN YEAR 4). The Deathly Hallows are a well known wizard bedtime story that never get mentioned until year 7 even though Harry has had an invisibility cloak since year 1 that is apparently better then any other one (also never mentioned).
Why was Dumbledore worried about Draco splitting his soul on the Lightning Struck tower if you need to cast a spell as well? Or is that just to make a Horcrux? And if so, what would happen to the bit of detached soul?
Voldy didnt have to use the Horcrux spell to accidentally make Harry one, remember his soul had become really unstable at that point, so the impact and effect of getting blasted by the ricochet of avada kedavra knocked that next chunk off into harry Dumbledore goes into it
1:54 Voldemort just reverted to a mangled spirit form that could kill the living by possessing them too long and needed unicorn blood to keep the host stable, though he tried to use the life elixir first to come back fully as a living being. The creator of a horcrux can literally never pass on even when their body is destroyed, and Voldemort gained the means to recreate his body, so dying again would be that much of a problem. But his primary consciousness is with his mangled spirit that can never leaves the earth until every piece of his soul that is anchoring him to the earthly plane is gone. Voldemort’s main consciousness was inside Quirrell, but the way he inhabited him doesn’t fit the definition of a horcrux, which was putting a piece of ones spirit into an object. Instead of that, Voldemort fully inhabited Quirrell as his primary self, not as another piece of himself.
In the first book Fred and George enchanted snow balls to hit Professor Quirrell in the back of his turpin. Which unbeknownst to the twins they were really hitting Voldemort in the face.
Oh yeah Lol
heroes at heart
Fred had gotten his revenge
Danicole XD Voldermort: How DARE you?!?
Is that why he doesn't have a nose? XD

Voldemort didn't set the Basilisk guarding the diary, he gave it to Lucius for safe-keeping. Lucius was the one who ensured it got to the Chamber of Secrets.
Helge Ulvestad Lucius is Voldemort’s Wormtail.
Lucius didn’t know it got into the Chamber, he gave it to Ginny when he met them at Flourish and Blotts. From there Tom Riddle manipulated Ginny to open the Chamber.
Cofirmed: Lucius Malfoy is the worst death eater.
Cor's Happy Fun Times
add that to list of reasons
But Dumbledore does theorize that Voldemort intended to use the diary as a weapon. Therefore it seemed that it was his intention for the diary to be used to open the chamber of secrets, though obviously not in the way that it happened. So he does intend to use the diary to let loose the basilisk, which still is a pretty dumb decision given how all but 2 of the horcruxes were killed with basilisk venom.
My research tells me that "horh" is Old English for "phlegm"...
So, actually, "horcrux" means "container for phlegm".
...And what contains phlegm? A NOSE*! ...And Tom Riddle gave up his *nose to create his horcruxes! *Mystery solved*.
WHOA
Autumn Phillips well.. I looked and it said that it means an animals bottom. . . Soooooo yeah
*container for Fleur Delacour*
OMFG!!!!!!!! YOU JUST BLOWED MY MIND!!!!!!
Autumn Phillips Well... u spelled it wrong so....
Harry & Nagini, were horcruxes but neither of them had a face behind their head.
Quarrel is merely being possessed.
:)
But Voldemort's consciousness never tried to take over and live inside of harry/Nagini. So maybe if Voldemort tried to resurrect himself through the horcruxes inside them, then they would grow his face too?
@@iRsemple he can’t be a horcrux because it is clearly stated that a peace of soul can’t leave or survive without one, and Voldemort leaves before quirrel dies without destroying part of his soul
@@thomasward6022 Correct he was possessed and not a horcrux.
To me, it was possession, too.
It wasn't a splittet of Soul that was contained somewhere, it was the source of the splits, the "creator", that survived because of the horcruxes he created, but did needed a host to travel and some hands to do his things...
1:10 The Basilisk wasn't guarding the Horcrux, it was guarding the Chamber of Secrets. Lucius was the one safeguarding the diary until he gave it to an unaware Ginny.

If Rowling had included the instructions on how to make a Horcrux in the novels some idiot would have tried it by now.
what if Dobby made an elf- horcrux?
Hugo de la Rosa Jimenez then he wouldn’t die so easily 🤧🤧😿
Hugo de la Rosa Jimenez No! Dobby is free! He would never!
If Dobby made a Horcrux, it would be the sock
Natural selection.
im remembering that voldemort was planning on making his final horcrux with the murder of harry (a significant death, killing the chosen one) so it is plausable that part of horcrux creation is preparing the FULL seperation of a soul from the body (otherwise accidental horcrux's would be a lot more common) so i always assumed that voldy did horcrux spell part one before killing harry, and assumably once harry was dead he would direct the soul segment to the vessel of choice. BUT he did not kill harry and "died" himself, leaving his soul peice from the horcrux creation floating in the room, at which point we know the rest, the soul default withut direction went to the only living thing around, harry
The Garnetto I like this theory :)
ohhh this seems plausible
@lord voldemort i would assume there would be multiple instances where a killer also dies. the situation often hapens in the real world, so in magic, just as plausable. either the accidental horcrux is oddly specific (noting we do have examples of horcrux creation where the killing curse is not involved) or this situation should have happened enough for this to happen. especially in a war with many many people killing and dying in the space of a few seconds
What did he intend to use as that horcrux, though?
@adriacstarks GREAT queston, and there is no evidence on anything, though i do have an option. i would assume it was something on voldys person or on the potter household. due to a lack i would guess something belonging to godric gryfindor
a prefect option is, in fact, the sword of griffindor. how he got it is questionable, but he could steal it and it is beleiable that if it was not in the posession of the potters, which is an option, being in godrics birthplace, godrics hollow, is another fine guess. or maybe voldy stole it
the sword would not only give him an object from all 4 founders, but it is also near indestructable and gets stronger with time (see absorbing the basilisk venom to strengthen itself). and also may be why it is not still there, assumable when found would have been removed and if it was not, than it would have teleported to harry.
ALSO, the sword would be perfect. a horcrux can corrupt the holder, and the sword presens itself to true griffindors, so voldy can then corrupt the best people
I suppose you could look at Voldemort like a Lich, with a few differences. A Lich generally has a phylactery, which he or she uses to reform their physical body upon death, making them virtually immortal. Voldemort has 7 phylacteries as opposed to one. Upon dying to Harry his body died but his soul lived on, perhaps generating more and more power by possessing and draining smaller lifeforms until he had enough power to generate a new body near the horcrux he was closest to, which would be Nagini. This new body is the baby-like creature we see at the end of Goblet.
This is why I think Quirrell wasn't a horcrux, but simply a vessel Voldemort could drain a significant amount of energy from for his eventual return.
U r wrong I don't wish to say it but voldemort actually took control of the unborn baby of Bertha jorkins to get that form
@@jishnus6332 how did you know dude this thing ? This is never mentioned in the books
Or the movies
@@jishnus6332 I can't find anything to back that claim up tbh
Huh, interesting. I always imagined the Horcrux system more like...
So, when most wizards die, their souls just go onto the 'beyond' or wherever book 7's train goes. But if it's been split, the attraction to the other pieces is stronger than the repulsion from the world a bodiless/vesselless soul would experience. So the consciousness attached to the piece of soul that left your former body snaps to and combines with the piece in one of the horcruxes, and the horcrux is your new 'body'. So with sufficient mind-magic (like legilimancy) you can influence or possess people from your new base of ominous operations.
I had the same thoughts
Will B but that wouldnt work because a person wouldnt go into a piece jellewry
?? Why? If a piece of their soul is bound to a piece of jewelry and the rest of them 'snaps to it' why wouldn't it work in the HP universe?
You just put to words how I imagined it would work. Of course, the movies would show it differently, because from the perspective of that soul fragment it would be instant hence the 'snaps to and combines with...'Unless Voldemort just breaks the rules. What's the difference in perspective between normal possession and the travel of a soul from horcrux to horcrux? Because apparently Voldy can do both.
Troller Loller It's not exactly a person by that stage. Remember the quote 'I was less than a spirit, less than the meanest ghost...but still I was alive.'? I think at that point it is less to do with choosing to go into a piece of jellewry and more of being so desperate to remain alive that they are prepared to sacrifice everything not limited to body and movement.

I always wandered could dementor kiss horecrux and would it been destroyed if dementor kissed it?
Maybe
Minecraft Kombat Harry Potter was a horecrux, and he was kissed by a dementor. So I would say no.
Harry was definitely not kissed by a dementor. There were some close shaves, but had he actually been kissed then he would be gone and the series would have ended.
Komila Rakhimova He wasnt really kissed by a dementor. Dementor was just feeding himself with Harrys good memorys and things like that, but he didnt kissed him. If he did Harry would walk without soul trough rest of the series and he wouldnt be able to defeat Voldemort
No, for the same reason Dementor's don't Kiss animals (and are subsequently bewildered by Animagi), they only look for human souls in human bodies.
Jk confirm on Pottermore that he was turned into a temporary Horcrux by Voldemort.
really? that's kind of disappointing for her to explain it with something already exist in the book.
Its like Horcrux is the only soul related magic Voldemort knows.
Nothing on pottermore is canon. Only the original 7 books matter, JKR lost her mind after that and keeps producing absolute nonsense.

Sex. They had sex. That's how they produced a child.
I think the (horrible) story said Bellatrix was pregnant during the final battle
brothers, you've screwed up one very basic rule regarding horcruxes- the destruction of the horcrux's physical container MUST destroy the soul shard. The soul shard does not linger on. That's the whole point of the horcrux hunt in DH.
Quirrel was possessed by Voldemort's disembodied spirit, yes, but it wasn't the same thing. When Quirrel died - aka the container was destroyed - it did no damage whatsoever to Voldemort. In fact, Voldemort ABANDONED Quirrel before he died, something a horcrux CANNOT, ABSOLUTELY 100 PERCENT CANNOT NEVER EVER, do. Voldemort didn't absorb Quirrel's life force like Tom Riddle tried to do to Ginny, so it's really not the same as in CoS, especially because Tom Riddle was still bound to the diary. Voldemort was never bound to Quirrel's body.
so, no, Quirrel was never a horcrux. Voldemort was known to be able to possess people, and he wasn't the only wizard to do it. Possession is not the same as being a horcrux.
Please get your potter facts straight.
Anna Dionne THANK YOU finally someone gets it right #harrypottergeneration
They're not saying that a he was a horcrux. They're saying he was a hore crux. He isn't a horcrux in terms of a perpetual and ultimate containment to a soul fragment (see the others for details), but a 'container of evil' - Voldemort being that evil.
He was a temporary Horcrux. It says so on the Harry Potter Wiki page

you mean guarding a fire with a moat?
This isn't a theory. J.K. Rowling herself said on Pottermore: "Quirrell is, in effect, turned into a temporary Horcrux by Voldemort. "
AndThatsShannii but one would assume simply burning a man’s face isn’t enough to destroy a horcrux and Quirrell never got hit with basilisk venom
Aaron Bolton Maybe the horocrux inside Harry was protecting him along with Lilys sacrifice? That's why Voldemort himself has to kill Harry on the seventh book, cause besides the venom or the fire Goyle summons, the very creator of the horocrux can destroy that piece of his soul.
And Lily's sacrifice is also part of the reason why Voldemort couldn't kill baby Harry, and why Quirrell couldn't touch him.
Maybe the combination of the two protected him; or maybe Harry was able to kill Quirrell cause he was also a Horcrux
Aaron Bolton it was explained in book one by Dumbledore, why Quirrell couldn't touch Harry. However, I thought that Quirell was cursed and that's why his faced burned whenever Harry touched it. I mean Firenze the centuar did say you become cursed the moment unicorn blood touches your lips. I thought that perhaps this was his curse due to the fact that he had been drinking unicorn blood.
Estella jaques Harry didn’t touch quirrell’s face in the books the movies made that up and no that’s no what the curse of unicorn blood is the curse is that you will constantly crave to consume more of the blood.

why wasn't Harry seeing Qurriell die enough to slow him to see the Thestrals..... if Cedric dying was?
ZiggyTheWastelander Dunmer Master Race : He didn't watch him die. He blacked out and woke up in the hospital wing not watching him die
Stella Fluetsch but Harry didn't black out technically till Voldemort's soul passed thru him( if by movie). The book does leave it vague that Harry blacks out but it's still death? so the act of seeing death is necessary not the conscience presence? I wish the magic of that would be explained one day
ZiggyTheWastelander Dunmer Master Race well one, Harry blacked out before the moment of death, so he didn't witness the actual moment that the sole left the body for the afterlife. Two, I think that even if he had witnessed his death, it wouldn't count because Prof. Querrel had Voldemort's soul leeching his own, and it was slowly destroying his sole. His sole was so destroyed by the time that Harry killed him that it couldn't leave the body in the normal way, so it wasn't really a death in the sense that one thinks of death. It's kinda like if you put a square peg in a square hole, and it gets messed up inside the hole so that it doesn't fit to pull it back out. Sorry if that sounded a little (or a lot) confusing
ZiggyTheWastelander Dunmer Master Race In the books (which are the actual legit evidence, since they were created first and directly from JK Rowling) Harry passes out as Quirrell is ripped away from him by Dumbledore. So no, he didn't actually see Quirrell die.
Olivia Pescatore soul your talking about feet soles
I don’t know how Voldemort can even “accidentally create a horcrux (Harry)” when the method on how to make a horcrux was so despicable that jk Rowling couldn’t tell us.
because splitting your soul from one whole (even if its broken) into two different entities needs a tremendous amount of effort, but Voldemorts soul at the point of attacking Harry was already sooo fragile and broken, that it ended up splitting by itself, without any extra efford needed anymore. It clearly says so in the books.. just not sure where :)
Some things are best to fill with our imagination instead of being given a method that can be dismissed as shallow.

SierraMascara28 The part of his soul that was left in voldy after he made his horcruxes was in quirrell while he was possessed but left before his death.

your user name is much better than mine
Harry and Quirrell are actually confirmed to be something similar to a horcrux called a pseudo-horcrux in which their creator unintentionally creates a horcrux and they have the same function although the pseudo-horcrux dosen't require the spell and this also a pseudo-horcrux dosen't become a dark object or being that will cause destruction to anything that endangers it
If Harry was a pseudo-horcrux, and as such doesn't protect itself when threatened, why was it that the golden flames were produced outside of Harry's will to protect himself? The explanation given for that was the piece of Voldemort's soul was doing what a typical horcrux does.
Harry becomes an unintentional horcrux when Voldemort attacks him, but doesn't get taken over like Quirrel or controlled. Even V doesn't realize where the connection to Harry comes from at 1st, then tries to use the connection but is only able to make him see things to manipulate his emotions, he can't control him. Maybe the magic of his mother's sacrifice was continually fighting the horcrux ever since Harry was a baby to protect him, & that's why he showed some signs but not others. Also, the diary was able to show him things, but not put him in a trance like Ginny, though he had it for a while.
Which makes it better than a regular horcrux then?

@@MrScotteh Nope, That was the wand itself, It sensed it's brother and through sensing voldemort and Harry it, under those specific circumstances does the wand shot the golden flames, It was the wand and Voldemort's tampering with fate that caused that.

It would be the diary. It would be that because it had 50% of Voldemort's soul.
That’s not correct. Voldemort murdered his grandparents and his father before. Since you split your soul with every murder in half of what it is, regardless of what happens with it afterwards, he only had 12.5% of his soul left before he created his first Horcrux. So that Horcrux merely contained 6.25% of his soul.
8:19 what u are!
When you're diary is more you than you are.
Even if the soul was already split, it was all still inside his body before creating the first horcrux. It's like a puzzle that's been taken apart. It's all still there, but it's together.Therefore, when he created the first horcrux it potentially could have been 50%. Since we don't know how to create a horcrux we can only speculate on how the soul is divided up.
I think it would have been Nagini. She was way more important to him than the others were.
my Favorite Scene From The 1st Movie’s When Harry Uses His Hands to Destroy Voldemort’s Fugly Face on The Back of Quirrell’s Head,That Scene’s so Epic
Fred has no flaws! I've always imagined Voldemort putting a piece of his soul back into his body!
If we're going on the technical definition of a horcrux being a vessel, then yes, Quirrell is a horcrux. But I would argue with you that, no, Quirrell is not a horcrux since the process to split his soul was not performed. Voldemort also took up residence in Quirrell because he was getting high off unicorn blood and unicorn blood cannot grant full life, so there is that.
I would absolutely love a prequel, fan film on how Quirrell discovered and ultimately got possessed by Voldemort.
I love how you specify that it should be a fan film :)

is it possible that Nagini was the main carrier of Voldemort's soul. Voldemort immediately grew weak an began to deteriorate after Nagini died. there was no way for that part of Voldermort to escape like it did when it sensed danger before Quirrels death. just a thought as it could have been a tactical desision by Voldermrt as he thought there was more of a chnAce of himself being killed than the snake and why he cared so much more about the snake than anything else and always kept him close by Why?? because nagini was the main carrier of voldermorts soul. thoughts????
I think that's a good point.
He became weak because Naginj was the last horcrux (correct me if I’m wrong-)
if Harry saw his mother die then how come he can't see threstralls in his first 3 years
lps gameslilyanna Because just seeing someone die isn't enough, you must see someone die and understand that they're dying and what that means and when Harry was one year old he couldn't, but he could when Cedric died
+Joseph Dillard what about Quirrel? Harry was 11 when that happened, surely he'd understand death by then?

Love always wins ni
I always thought that the horcruxes were more of a power source. I think that Voldemort (main soul) can stay alive because the Horcruxes can keep him alive simply by existing which is why they set out to kill the horcruxes (power sources) before killing the main conscious. I don't think a killing curse could ever kill Voldemort's main soul, just kills the shell and exposes the main conscious but so long as the other horcruxes are out there, the main conscious can't die. Sorry I hope that made sense.
That's my thought too. Another way is that the Horcruxes are like an anchor, holding Voldemort's soul to the mortal realm and preventing it from 'crossing over' or whatever to the great unknown. As long as the horcruxes exist, the soul can never leave in peace. It is 'less than a ghost', as Voldemort says, and has to live like a parasite off whatever living thing it can find, but still 'alive' in some sense.
Destroying the Horcruxes was taking away Voldemort's safety net before pushing him to his doom.
Yeah
Wait so was Ginny also technically a Horcrux too if the piece of soul from the diary went inside of her?
Nairbzilla Did a piece of soul from the diary really enter her? I thought she was just under its influence by sheer persuasiveness.
Etho the Creative
It wasn't persuasiveness, Voldemort, or Voldemort's horcrux self/soul, actually made her. This is explained in the 5th book when Ginny says, "seeing as you don't know anyone but me who's been possessed by You-Know-Who, and I can tell you how it feels." (page 499) This literally says that Ginny was possessed, not persuaded.
Nairbzilla no she was possessed by the piece of soul inside of the diary because she had accidentally given it access to her innermost thoughts and feelings to the point where it was able to use the amount of her soul that she had "poured" into it as a base to take over her mind and consume the rest of her soul, rebuild it as its own, and do what it had partially been created for (use the basilisk to attack the mugggle borne students at hogwarts). And yes it was made partially to attack muggle borns because Voldemort believed that he had so many and they were so well hidden that it wouldn't matter if he lost that one.
Hope this answered your question.
What about when Harry went inside her did that make a Horcrux? LMAO
I'm getting more and more confused now... if she was a Horcrux, did the piece of Voldemort's soul jump between her and the diary? Or did the piece of soul split itself out of its own free will?
I find it odd that it could do that, if Voldemort can't even know when a Horcrux has been destroyed, much less control one...
Overall the diary is the weirdest and most confusing Horcrux in all honesty. Lol
𝒮𝓊𝓅𝑒𝓇Carlin Brothers: Hey brother
James Charles: Hey 𝕊𝕚𝕤ter
I've been wondering.. To make a horcrux, you split your soul in two. So when you create a second one, I assume that you split the remaining half? And so forth until, with harry for example, did he just carry around like 0,78% Voldemort soul? The way that JK rowling described it, then yes. Would that really influence harry all that much? Would, for example, less than 1% voldemort be enough to inherit parseltongue? And Voldemort also contains just 0,78% of his own soul. Seems a bit weird that a small ring contains more voldemort than the dark lord himself...
Yay! 10 points to Ravenclaw!
Yay my house Kitsune, Horned Serpent, and Ravenclaw have all gotten points!
Actually, to be extremely technical, Quirrell *wasn't* a Horcrux. He held the original part of Voldemort's soul. The rest of the Horcruxes held the pieces of Voldemort's soul that were broken off, including Harry if you take your other theory into account, the one that (SPOILER) states that Voldemort killed Harry as part of a Horcrux Spell, intending to place part of his soul into the sword. (/SPOILER)
Calling Quirrell a Horcrux is like calling Voldemort himself a Horcrux because his body held part of his own soul.
But to answer @Gracelyn_Szynal, using this logic, Ginny would have been a Horcrux, too, because she would have housed the broken soul fragment from the diary.
Another question to ponder:
When Voldemort possesses Harry Potter in the 5th book (Order of the Phoenix) How does Voldemort not know that there is a piece of his soul inside Harry Potter?
We can presume that given a sufficient long time rummaging around in Harry's mind, he would have worked it out. He was a bit distracted at the time.
As to whether it is something he would instantly realized, we have no reason to expect that to happen. Harry is not actually constantly hearing Voldemort's thoughts in his head, so Voldemort does not necessary have his own thoughts to hear in Harry's head to tip him off.
He already knew there was. And he knew about the connection, which is why he fabricated torchering Sirius so Harry would go to him
I havent read the books in years, but wasnt voldy just a powerfull legilimans? That's why snape was teaching him to keep him out. Voldemort I believe also got inside all the students heads in the last book where he tells them all that he only wants harry, nobody else needs to die ? ... I might be getting myfacts wrong
It's cute that you guys call listening to Jim Dale as "reading". I don't blame you Jim has a great voice.
according to me nagini was made a horcrux later in the series because when harry kill quirrel we see voldermort's soul
But Voldemort has Nagini while he's still a weird fetus-looking thing, and I doubt he would've been strong enough to create a new horcrux in that condition.
@Shaunaq Biju Nagini was a holder of Voldemorts life until Quirrel finds him
Perhaps Voldemort split his soul in order to miniaturize it, to make it semi-permeable, so that he could crux his hore in just about anything he needed to?
lcvamp242 What is 'crux his hore' supposed to mean?

So voldemort died after he created '7' horcruxes and was able to live on because he had horcruxces but which one did he go to after he died when he tried to kill Harry the first and he originally had 7 horcruxces so how did he use one and still have seven and what was the horcrux that he used
Zoe Bast If I’m understanding your question- he didn’t really “go” to a horcrux, he actually floated around as a lifeless spirit, something “less than human,” in Albania for a long time until he possessed this random dude that had nothing to do with his horcruxes-Quirrell. At that point, there was Voldemort, Harry, and 6 horcruxes. There are many ways to allow a horcrux to bring you back to life, and while the diary almost succeeded in one of those endeavors, Harry destroyed it, leaving 5 horcruxes (6, with Harry) and a total of 7, not 8, pieces of Voldemort’s soul left to be destroyed.
@@jh2o545 but that OG part that go to Quirell is still alive, how on earth he would ressurected with the daily? I mean there was still a part of his soul alive somewhere which ending up beeing that freak thing in HP4
Why do you think JK Rowling doesn't want to reveal how to make a Horcrux? Maybe a possible theory for a future video? A theory that explains how Horcruxes are actually made?
I think that she doesn't want to outline it because she is afraid of copycat murders/events by sick people trying it. It's happened before with other things.
I've seen theories on cannibalism, necrophilia, and other defecating rituals that are definitely not the subject of a family friendly book even one Riddled (see what I did there?) with murder.
Something that would change age ratings?
JKR has actually specifically said that the process to make a horcrux is too gruesome that she made her editor sick and decided against it. Theories have been floating around about it being cannibalism and other such things, however those don't seem reasonable given that the bodies of Myrtle and the Riddle family were perfect and unmarked.
+Nyx Darklore Was her editor especially naive or a pansy or something? Murder, rape, gooey torture, necrophilia, etc. are disgusting but never are they *so* disgusting they make people literally vomit when they see it. So either her editor hates harsh reality, or it's just a cover.
Well, as for Pettigrew on the map, there are plenty of instances later in which Harry struggles to find someone because of the immense number of other students on the map. Pettigrew's name simply got lost in the shuffle and would have only been noticed if Ron and Scabbers happened to be nearby where Fred and George were being mischievous. They wouldn't have noticed any other parts of the map.
Do a video on The Trace! it's been bugging me for weeks as I've rewatched and reread the series trying to find a clear understanding of its practicality and functionality of it despite its initial discrimination being proved wrong in both the books and films.
The Shadow Demon I LOVE THIS IDEA!
Yeah, the Trace confuses me so much. Like, Dobby performs a hover charm and Harry gets busted, but Mr Wesley comes over to collect Harry for the World Cup and performs spell left, right and centre. I assume that can be explained by the fact that he had Harry's house connected to the flu network for that day, so the Ministry knew that Arthur would be there? Or does the mere fact that there's an adult wizard present stop the Trace from taking effect?
ElTeleron Not to mention how voldemort performed three killing curses to kill his father and grandparents at age 16 and then made his first horcrux and then altered his uncle's memories so he would confess to the crime later on.
The Shadow Demon yea the trace only detects magic not who cat the spell so for a family of wizards of the under age child doors a spell the ministry would think it was an adult they said in the book I believe that they pretty much have to trust the parents to enforce the law within their household
Haley Stites yeah but seeing as how the ministry is able to pinpoint what spell was used where and around who, I'm pretty sure the use of the killing curse and horcrux ritual would have raised more than one eye at the ministry and to the ministry's knowledge Tom should have been at the orphanage. its a plot hole that wrecks the trace completely but I also don't think J. K. Rowling had everything figured out at the start seeing as she breaks her own rules as the series progresses and completely messed up on the dates in the first 14 pagers of philosophers stone what saying here story starts on a Tuesday in 1981 Nov 1 when it was Sunday
YAY I GOT TEN POINTS FOR HUFFLEPUFF!!!!!!

YAY! HUFFLEPUFF FOR THE WIN
I'll be honest I don't get the reference. Can someone explain it to me?
The problem with that reasoning is this: once a Horcrux is created, the piece of soul can no longer come back to the creator unless the creator feels guilty about what they have done. Otherwise, once the vessel is destroyed, the piece of soul is destroyed as well. In Quirrel's case, Voldemort left him to die after Harry fatally wounded him. If Quirrel were a Horcrux, why would the other pieces of soul remain in their vessels even when they knew they were done for? Like, they could see Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Crabbe and Dumbledore use the sword, the Basilisk's fangs and Fiendfyre. Why did they stay in their vessels if they could leave them (since Voldemort left Quirrel)
I guess Professor Quirrel was “technically” a horcrux, now that I think about it.
I am so manly I won a staring contest with a basilisk
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
Ay Ben nice tshirt there. I note those Luxo balls are duplicating, do they breed of something?
like tribbles from star trek?
Dudes. Not every thing or person is a Horcrux.
Well said
Says Quirrell was a temporary horcrux on the wiki.
Yes eerything is u and i havesouls therefore we r horcruxs
No we aren't. A horcrux has someone else's split soul inside of it. Unless you have someone else's split soul inside of you, you aren't a horcrux.
desertrose0601 wow you clearly don't understand a joke
great video as always
I want J.K. to see this and then CONTINUE THE SERIES
I understand that the answer is no. Quirel was not a Horcrux. To make a spell or a potion you need a wand. When Voldemort lost his physical body, his soul stayed alive because of the existing horcruxes. But did not carry his wand with him to perform dark magic, such as making a new horcrux. He used Quirel and other animals as a hosts, but his soul left many times to feed (unicorn blood). He only got his wand back at the grave yard, in book 4, when Peter Petgrew gave it back to him.
Wait, how did Pettigrew get it? Maybe from the ruins of the otter's house, he did go there I believe.
*Potter's not otter's
Screaming Ghoul How Peter Petegrew got Voldemort's wand, I don't know. The first person in the Potter's house after Voldemort killed Harry's parents and tried to kill Harry was Snape, he held Lilian's head while Baby Harry cried.
And this is, for me, the main plot hole of Cursed Child.
ma SK physical**
I always thought it weird that one of the Horcruxes weren’t used up when he was destroyed, I feel like that would make more sense
Quirrell was probably not a horcrux. Rather the fact is that the "piece of Voldemort's soul" that was Voldemort himself, latched onto the body of Quirrell. This does not make him a horcrux though, it is more that the living piece of Voldemort used him as a pawn in which to travel.
I like how "Hore" is considered evil LOL
When I first read about horcruxes, I immediately thought about Quirrel
I've always wondered how it effected the horcrux part of Harry when he got the basilisk fang in his arm can you do a theory on this
when the concienceness does it goes with the one with the most soul in it so yeah the book
Here's my question: how does the process of coming back to life via horcrux work? Is it like an extra life, which is used up when someone comes back to life, or it it like a saved game, that you can come back from infinite times?
I ask, because Voldemort dies when he attacked Harry, and then comes back, presumably via one of his horcruxes. But we still have to go through destroying all of them. Does that mean that there is a Horcrux that was used up without having to be destroyed, or is it the saved game situation?
Also, do they need to go through the same ritual involving blood of the enemy etc etc each time they come back to life via horcrux, or is that just a one time thing?
Also Also, What was Voldemort's state at the end of Sorcerer's stone? The Ghost-ish thing that passes through Harry's body. Because it SURE SEEMS LIKE what happens every time they destroy a Horcrux: Something that takes the form of Voldemort's face flies at whoever destroyed it: Water in the chamber of secrets during deathly hallows part 2, Fire in the room of requirement during deathly hallows part 2, etc.
I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS
0:40 TEN POINTS TO HUFFLEPUFF
Is JK Rowling Rita Skeeter?? Pleas make a video for this!
3:51 Ben your eyes are so soulful
Voldemort isn't a Horcrux because he is Voldemort, not a piece of voldemort
If you take a raft and take each plank off the raft until you have 1 plank left is, at what point was it no longer a raft?
Oh I wanna let you know that she did have the whole thing planned out from the beginning she said it herself. She said something like she knew from the start she wanted Harry and Voldemort to fight at the end.
Everyone knew from the start that Harry and Voldemort would fight at the end...
she knew some of it, but the details werent. how much? has she planned aberforth being a big part in the end? how about planning on lupin and tonks dying? she had the bare bones, but not all the fles, the question is, how much DID she have like horcrux's and things planned
The Garnetto I think she knew all the basics and not many of the details
ElTeleron...I was going to say the same. That was just the logical conclusion. Harry & Voldemort were always meant to fight at the end. I think she knew SOME things, but not others. And then some things she HAD planned (like killing Mr. Weasley) didn't happen at all. Seeing as how there was such a huge gap in between books 4 & 5 coming out, I know she had a baby & stuff, but I think she took some time there to plan out the rest. So basically, I think she knew up to book 4 what was going to happen at the start, but only the outline of the rest. Not the details.
You mean the hero fights the villain in the last chapter? Of course that's going to happen. Most of the other stuff was clearly come up with as it was written or it would have been introduced earlier. Portkeys become a major plot device the year Harry learns about them (IN YEAR 4). The Deathly Hallows are a well known wizard bedtime story that never get mentioned until year 7 even though Harry has had an invisibility cloak since year 1 that is apparently better then any other one (also never mentioned).
Even I was having the same doubt in 4:02 since a long time
Baltimore?
That’s what I see when I open captions and they say Voldemort
00:39 Ravenclaws where are you!!!!💙💙💙💙📘📘📘📘📚📚📚📚
Here!
Megan Spring Here! Ravenclaw virtual high five!
Hi other people in the best house
Megan Spring right here
Why was Dumbledore worried about Draco splitting his soul on the Lightning Struck tower if you need to cast a spell as well? Or is that just to make a Horcrux? And if so, what would happen to the bit of detached soul?
Greg Heffely's horcrux is his diary???!!!
Voldy didnt have to use the Horcrux spell to accidentally make Harry one, remember his soul had become really unstable at that point, so the impact and effect of getting blasted by the ricochet of avada kedavra knocked that next chunk off into harry
Dumbledore goes into it
1:54 Voldemort just reverted to a mangled spirit form that could kill the living by possessing them too long and needed unicorn blood to keep the host stable, though he tried to use the life elixir first to come back fully as a living being. The creator of a horcrux can literally never pass on even when their body is destroyed, and Voldemort gained the means to recreate his body, so dying again would be that much of a problem. But his primary consciousness is with his mangled spirit that can never leaves the earth until every piece of his soul that is anchoring him to the earthly plane is gone. Voldemort’s main consciousness was inside Quirrell, but the way he inhabited him doesn’t fit the definition of a horcrux, which was putting a piece of ones spirit into an object. Instead of that, Voldemort fully inhabited Quirrell as his primary self, not as another piece of himself.
Who else saw the Hagrid figurine?
meh
