When the main relic associated with Gryffindor house has the tendency to disappear and not present itself to those it finds unworthy, it makes tracking it down for use in dark magical experiments not just difficult but outright impossible.
@ Not THAT much to Voldemort himself probably. The biggest difference is now not having a convenient way to destroy them - not even the Basilisk fangs since Harry didn’t kill it in 1992. Hell, maybe we don’t even get to that point since the diary horcrux resurrected Tom Riddle without Harry being able to kill the basilisk.
@@Longshanks1690 yeah i mean it probably wouldve also done more mental harm and damage if he'd killed another person (although he wouldnt care about killing another) and also about using basilisk tooth why not godric gryffindors sword? Crazy tbh how spells alone arent strong enought o breakt hose things but admittedly never fully understand that tom riddle diary scene like its mot actually him is it? I mean he doesnt return until goblet of fire but maybe perhaps he sort of laid dormant until then?
I think that because the sword & the hat were kept in plain view in the Headmaster's office prevented Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort from stealing either of them It would have been a pretty difficult caper to pull off, in other words.
My theory is that he had the sword with him on the night he killed Harry's parents, and he intended to use Harry's death to make it into a horcrux, but the sword disappeared after the killing curse backfired and Voldemort fled.
Variation of that, I think it eventually disappeared; he would have needed the vessel for the horcux on him and we did not find any at the house wreckage nor do we have any candidates for it. The sword works the best, it fixes itself, eventually it will find itself back in the hat; mid Weasleys brothers were Griffondors killed days before this, they might have had the sword come to them before they died. With the location and the vessel the horcrux could be made
According to me, he put those Horcruxes inside powerful objects because he knew they would be inherited, most likely by powerful or less ordinary people, so he could control them. This is the most important reason besides the durability and protection.
I wish the tv series were about the founders or even Tom Riddle’s backstory. It’d be so much cooler to see these foundational moments leading up to Potter, rather than the same retelling of what we already know.
Well I think it’s simple because both hat and sword were in the possession of Dumbledore, who Voldemort feared the most. If he would some who do that, Dumbledore would have figured out way sooner, so he avoided these 2 items
If Voldemort resented Godric for his argument with Salazar, that would make it far more likely that he wanted to turn one of his items into a horcrux, not less. Voldemort would be ecstatic about the idea of corrupting one of brave, noble Godric’s items and twisting it for his own purpose to make it his own. He would see that as the final victory in the argument between their two families, and he would stop at nothing to obtain the sword to corrupt it if he was truly motivated by a personal hate for Godric.
Also probably because he had made 2 from his own family, Slytherins locket, and the Gaunt family ring, with the Peverell crest on it. Harry was related to the Peverells but as Dumbledore said, there was so much he still didn’t know, & what he didn’t deem important, he didn’t bother to find out.
No great mystery, he left because Gryffindor & the others didn’t agree with his pure blood snobbery, which endured in all the Sacred 28, which included both Sirius’ & Malfoy’s familys
I have watched your videos for YEARS. Great work, truly. Lately though, the background music seems to be drowning out the speaking. It may be on my end, I just wanted to pass along in case it wasn't :) keep up the great work!
One relic would just talk about what happened and they would know his secret. The other tends to come and go as it pleases. Those don’t seem like very reasonable options.
1. It carries a lot of unique elements thanks to the rare metals, metalwork and magic that has been fused together 2. It carries prosperity, love and purity 3. Its carries a lot of antibacterial solution thanks to it's pure silver matrix. This sort of thing will make anything useless by changing the characteristics of the said thing. It will become erratic, unstable and weak, it will remove negation from the offending object. 4. It has goblin magic 5. It can behave like a reflective mirror by protecting itself with a unique barrier and reflecting away anything bad 6 It connects to the heart chakra (somehow, thanks to the red Rubies) 7. It purifies anything it touches by unleashing it's own blend of prosperity and love 8. It behaves like a talisman, active crystal and magical version of a cross'
Voldemort made no Gryffindor Horcrux for the simple reason that he couldn't get hold of a Gryffindor relic. He failed with the Sword. It sounds like there was no other surviving relic associated with Gryffindor except the Sorting Hat, but as it was verbal and sentient, I doubt it would have taken kindly to being a Horcrux. But there must be other things associated with or reminiscent of Gryffindor that Voldemort could have used if he had thought outside of the box more. How about the griffon on the staircase leading to the principal's office? The griffon has given rise to speculation that the office was built by Gryffindor. Or something at Godric's Hollow that commemorates Gryffindor? It must have a statue or memorial for that, surely?
Dumbledore stated the only known relic of Godric Gryffindor was the sword. Riddle definitely wouldn’t have been able to retrieve it because of the way it presents itself to individuals, ie need to be a Gryffindor and in situations requiring bravery or valor.
The sword only takes in what makes it stronger, perhaps that means the sword would reject the soul fragment, and Voldemort know/believed that, so he didn’t wanna take the risk.
I don't think it would stop someone who thinks so highly of himself. He would think his soul fragment would be something that makes it stronger. I think the only thing that stopped him is the lack of chance to steal it and the manhunt its disappearance would have provoked.
Interesting video, I’ve often wondered that too. In terms of the sword and the fact that it vanishes and can only be used and appears to a true Gryffindor, which Voldemort was not. My guess is Voldemort tried to make the sword a horcrux but it vanished as soon as he tried to do something with it or someone like Dumbledore or Slughorn told him about the sword in his past and he thought it’d be a waste to attempt it
@@DemonsRun87 As I recall, Dumbledore says so to Harry in the Book (Chamber of Secrets) once he wakes up in the infirmary after killing the basilisk. Dumbledore stresses the fact that Harry, who doubts he really belongs into Gryffindor and not Slytherin, could summon the thought-lost Gryffindor artifact precisely because he is a true Gryffindor and it'd only appear for Gryffindors.
@drgallant absolutely zero shot Snape told him that. I would lean towards no that voldemort knows the sword is imbued with basilisk venom but it's possible he knows
Well I don’t know about the hat, but the sword 🗡 I believe cause of its vanishing away slipped past him. I also believe that it can appear to those who aren’t Gryffindors, but hold true bravery within them. Just like a Slytherin can have a Hufflepuff’s loyalty, hard working, and tolerance. Even a Hufflepuff can b as smart as a Ravenclaw too. It’s by ur character solely, and by that and house together. Again, imo.
the point you mentioned in 7:30, how can it be counterproductive? the sword of Gryffindor was only able to destroy horcruxes because it absorbed the basilisk venom, meaning that when Voldemort was making it the sword was not able to destroy horcruxes, that moment was when Harry stabbed the Basilisk in the Chamber of secrets. the only issue is that the sword would appear to Gryffindors and that would snitch on him pretty fast.
Happy New Year🎉 but also, the Sword of Griffindor would never aid that maniac. I believe it would have to be the fake Sword Bellatrix had in her vault.
Follow up question. I wonder if Voldemort consider the goblet of fire as a horcruxes? It is a rare and very important item in the wizarding world. Besides being used once every five years, the goblet is locked away. Unlike the hat it can’t talk, and unlike the sword it will never vanish at random. So you have an important item, that is locked away and taken really good care of. The goblet would have been a great item in my opinion
The Gryffindor sword cannot be made as vessel for Horcruxes because it is IMBUED GODRIC GRYFFINDOR WITH MAGIC THAT CAN DESTROY ANY DARK ARTS MAGIC LIKE HORCRUXES. YOU CAN SEE IT, WHEN NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM WAS ABLE TO DESTROY THE NAGINI BEING A HORCRUX
While I think that the matter of the Sorting Hat is well settled here, I'd like to point out why *I* think Voldermort couldn't use the Sword of Gryffindor: it was impossible for him to get his hands on it. As you point out, the sword's role was to appear not only to a Gryffindor in need, but only to a "true Gryffindor," which is one description that doesn't suit Voldemort one bit. The Sword was, in fact, so attuned to this purpose that even the goblins, who made it and claimed rightful ownership, couldn't hold on to it. It wouldn't let the wrong person own it, and so it would have been impossible for Voldemort to acquire it (unless it was working its way back to a Gryffindor through him . . . perhaps literally).
Haven’t watched vid yet, but he did… SPOILER!!! … Harry. But the book’s explanation was he wasn’t finished making horcruxes when he went after the Potters.
That soooo doesn’t count. Voldy didn’t know Harry was a horcrux. Had he known, he would’ve been a bit more cautious about killing Harry. Voldy sought out objects of value to make into horcruxes.
@ why did you feel the need to tell a stranger on the internet that their opinion doesn’t count (in your estimation) even after they acknowledge it differs from the source material?
@@leylasmith7179 I didn't say your opinion didn't count. I said that Harry being a Gryffindor horcrux doesn't count, because Voldy didn't know. The entire video was, "Why didn't Voldy do X?" Your comment was "He did X, but he hadn't finished doing X." The crux of the question is WHY he did or did not do something - and if Voldy didn't know he did something and/or did something by accident, then there is no intention that can be ascribed to it.
My theory is that Voldemort had the sword on him the night he tried to kill harry as a baby and planned to use his death for the horcrux. He acquired the sword when the prewitt brothers were attacked by multiple death eaters. And that’s why voldy knew of Harry Potter for a year and never attacked because he was fixated on acquiring the sword. Why was it not found in the destruction. Easy it went back to the head masters office after voldy was disembodied. This theory makes so much sense on so many levels.
That's right. I'm fully back making videos!
You have no idea how happy this makes me Dean. Happy New year brother.
HAPPY NEW YEAR from Texas USA.........I've missed you and I am so glad you are back.
Happy New Year Dean, nice to have you back
fuxk yeah Mate ❤❤❤❤❤
Would it be possible for Voldemort to turn his own wand into a horcux? or Avadakadva being blocked by another Avadakadva?
When the main relic associated with Gryffindor house has the tendency to disappear and not present itself to those it finds unworthy, it makes tracking it down for use in dark magical experiments not just difficult but outright impossible.
Wonder what difference one hrocrux couldve and wouldve made? What hed have looked like?

EXACTLY! Plus the one Bellatrix had was a fake
imagine the Sorting Hat as a horcrux:
(While sorting) “Slytherin, Slytherin, Slytherin, Mudblood, Slytherin.....”
I'm weak at "mudblood" 😂💀
Lol😂
The sorting hat would have ratted him out immediately 😂

Thanks Dean ! I think the hat also had an anti-dandruff spell put on it ! Imagine a thousand years without that ...

Because it only comes to aid of a true Gryffindor and if he were try to grab it that thing is enchanted and will vanish from him.
Where is that written?
The sword was probably somewhat sentient as well, because showing up for a Gryffindor in true need, is something very unique.
If Voldemort resented Godric for his argument with Salazar, that would make it far more likely that he wanted to turn one of his items into a horcrux, not less. Voldemort would be ecstatic about the idea of corrupting one of brave, noble Godric’s items and twisting it for his own purpose to make it his own. He would see that as the final victory in the argument between their two families, and he would stop at nothing to obtain the sword to corrupt it if he was truly motivated by a personal hate for Godric.
But Harry, from Gryffindor was an horcrux.
Came here to say that
true, just not one made intentionally, and not a relic of Godric's either, so in this case Harry is an exception
At the time he was made an horcrux he wasn't yet though
oh yeah good point as well
He was made into one when he was just days old.
He did make a Gryffindor Horcrux. Harry Potter, the heir of Gryffindor.
Also probably because he had made 2 from his own family, Slytherins locket, and the Gaunt family ring, with the Peverell crest on it. Harry was related to the Peverells but as Dumbledore said, there was so much he still didn’t know, & what he didn’t deem important, he didn’t bother to find out.
Literally just got back from my spicy job, left with some monies and now for some HP folklore 😊
Put your feet up and have some tea 🫖☕️😌
Wishing.hoping you and your family have a healthy, happy and safe New Year Dean!!
First Potter vid of 2025,thanks for it
I think Gryffindor’s relics were too protected as they are at Hogwarts difficult to steal under the headmasters nose
Tom Riddle wanted to make The Sword of Gryffindor into a horcrux but he NEVER could find it and the one Bellatrix had was a fake
No great mystery, he left because Gryffindor & the others didn’t agree with his pure blood snobbery, which endured in all the Sacred 28, which included both Sirius’ & Malfoy’s familys

Noted! I will lower the volume going forward
The real question is why did Gryffindor have a sword. You are a freaking wizard! Use your damn wand. 😂
Harry Potter was Horcrux. He was Gryffindor.
One relic would just talk about what happened and they would know his secret. The other tends to come and go as it pleases. Those don’t seem like very reasonable options.
I guess the sorting hat would have just put everyone in Slytherin if it had a piece of Voldemort's soul in it
Nah, only the pure bloods.
1. It carries a lot of unique elements thanks to the rare metals, metalwork and magic that has been fused together
2. It carries prosperity, love and purity
3. Its carries a lot of antibacterial solution thanks to it's pure silver matrix. This sort of thing will make anything useless by changing the characteristics of the said thing. It will become erratic, unstable and weak, it will remove negation from the offending object.
4. It has goblin magic
5. It can behave like a reflective mirror by protecting itself with a unique barrier and reflecting away anything bad
6 It connects to the heart chakra (somehow, thanks to the red Rubies)
7. It purifies anything it touches by unleashing it's own blend of prosperity and love
8. It behaves like a talisman, active crystal and magical version of a cross'
Wishing you joy and prosperity for the New Year, Dean!
The Carlin Brothers made a good theory on this.
Had Voldemort converted a Gryffindor artifact into a Horcrux, that would have been a total nightmare.
-JMM
wow i don't think anyone has asked this question! great video once again :)

My guess would be that Voldemort didn’t have the time to convert a Gryffindor item into a horcrux or he was afraid to confront any Gryfindor items
he should have turned the Basalisk into a Horcrux...
Probably cuz mud bloods were heavy in gryffindor
The sword only takes in what makes it stronger, perhaps that means the sword would reject the soul fragment, and Voldemort know/believed that, so he didn’t wanna take the risk.

Well it's impossible to locate the sword most of the time. And the Hat would likely be exposed by the sudden sorting of everyon into Slytherin.
The sword destroys dark magic

Doesn’t Harry himself count as a Gryffindor horcrux, considering that he is a Gryffindor, lol?
What'chu talkin' 'bout, Willis?
Harry Potter WAS the Gryffindor Horcrux.
The sword was considered lost until Harry pulled it from the Hat
Where do you get your information?
