Which one is your favorite so far. Are they getting even better as the characters develop over time?

i think this cud be possible. maybe he didn't try to perform the killing curse on harry. maybe he transfered a bit of his soul to him - we know that harry remembers a green light.

also harry can see into voldermort's mind (until he started to block him) but it pained voldermort to see inside harry's mind

dibble2 wrote:another thing about the number of horcruxes...I don't know if anyone's mentioned it before, but Voldemort must have used one of his horcruxes after he "died" when he attacked baby Harry. How do those things work? Is that part of his soul gone forever, or what? Does that mean one of his horcruxes was "used up" when he "died" that night?


yeh i think ur right. he must have used one when he attacked harry, then what about at the end of the PS he must have then used another?

It is possible, that the horcrux was not used after Voldemort diminished from power, but the amount of force he used to kill Harry, just backfired weakening him and making him lose his body.

What would be interesting to know, is how did Voldemort transform into the hideous snake-like creature, whether it was his fall from 'grace' (for the lack of a better word) or was it due to his evil magic?

Anyway KAD, please edit your posts. No need to reply a couple of times, you can just copy and paste into one.

Hi

Can a mod do something about the two threads on horcruxes please. There's one in the discussions group and also one in the theories group. Is there a way that they can be merged? or one of them moved to the other's group and then locked?

To KAD I have a theory on the horcruxes in the other post.

What do you think? I don't think he used one of his horcruxes that night. Have a read in Horcrux Counting

I believe Dumbledore says that the part of soul still with the individual can't be destroyed until the rest are. Killing Voldemort must be the final act. He was weakened in trying to kill Harry, but he didn't lose a soul fragment.

I'm a strong believer in one of them being in the Room of Requirement...

It was a discussion Barny The Barn and I had some time ago but here's the jist of it.

TR/LV worked at Borgin and Burkes where there is a vanishing cabinet
There was a vanishing cabinet at Hogwarts in the Room of Requirement. it was broken until Malfoy got it fixed for the DE's to get into Hogwarts.
While Tom was working at B&B he could have been using the Room of Requirement fo his own purposes but also to hide the horcrux.

The Room of Requirement also has it's own enchantments. E.g. Harry got in when he asked for somewhere to hide his potions book. All TR/LV would need to do is ask for a place to hide his horcrux. Thinking out loud, he could even have done this when he was a student I suppose.

Once hidden he could have deliberately damaged the cabinet to try and safeguard the horcrux as much as possible.

What do you think? I really think this might be why JKR spent a little more time than she needed in HBP explaining how Harry hid his potions book.

Sorry for the double-post but I've just thought of something else.

What if TR/LV discovered the link between the two cabinets while he was still at Hogwarts, this could mean that he could have got out during termtime to bewitch his uncle etc etc.

Does anyone remember whether he was dressed in school uniform that night he turned up at his uncles house?

But then what item is it? Surely not one of the fanged frisbees. If I remember there was something dead and five-legged, a bloody axe, a gemmed sword, damaged furniture, a mannequin. The five-legged thing sounds like the result of cruel magic, while the axe sounds like a murder weapon. Blood will only be on a non-porous object for three years or so, so the axe is probably more recent than Voldemorts school years.

What to think?
