[@rocketdouglas4624]

Never ate A part of any of the Potters

[@hippomancy]

to counter the cannibal/horcrux theory- Harry becoming a horcrux when Voldemort was "destroyed" by the rebounding curse fails to satisfy the premise. no time for snacks- he was dead already.

[@masterpython]

If they did autopsies they would have noticed chunks missing from Myrtle

[@TBKmeteor]

​@@masterpython still doesn't change the fact that he didn't want to create a horcrux then, so he wouldn't be snacking, between killing harry's parents and dying, if that would be part of horcrux ritual

[@CarrotCakeMake]

Agreed, whatever has to be done to make a Horcrux, Voldemorte did it before he tried to kill Harry.

[@StruffyTheClown]

@@CarrotCakeMake Im guessing it is actually something that you do to yourself, to guide the torn part of your soul into the object you wish to turn into a horcrux. For example a sequence of spells used on yourself and then an open wound you need to press against the object at the moment of the victims death/ the tearing of the soul. So the moment Voldemort cast the spell, his soul ripped apart, but immediately after the curse rebounded and killed Voldemort. Then Voldemorts body would be destroyed (and dropping whatever item was intended to use as a Horcrux) and the torn piece of soul would floating around by itself intend to latch onto something (through the effects of the Horcrux spell) and found Harry.

[@Cyberlisk]

Well, drinking Harry's blood was part of Voldemorts resurrection process.

[@RobertLydonReviews]

Regarding the Neville theory wasn’t he 1 years old when Bellatrix attacked his parents? I can’t imagine he would be able to recall that.

[@onlyfromadistance7326]

But he is a wizard, not an ordinary muggle..

[@methosmomomax7470]

Harry remembers the night of his parents' death. I'm not talking about Lily's death. He remembers Hagrid and the flying motorcycle.

[@caman5]

I can remember the first time I opened my eyes as a baby. It sounds crazy, but I described to my mother, the car she was driving (technically parking) at the time, in a conversation decades later and in perfect detail, down to the faulty pop-up headlights not closing when she switched them off. It's uncommon, but certainly not impossible, that he would remember something like that.

[@LadyBeyondTheWall]

@@caman5 I wasn't as young as you were, but my very first memory was from when I was about 1 1/2 years old. I had this memory that didn't really make sense to me because it was a place I couldn't remember ever being in before or after the memory. I described the room to my mother, including a table that in my memory was a little taller than I was (so I must have been very young) and a distinct color and pattern of a couch. I remember the Jeopardy theme in the background and those weird fluffy orange candies that taste horrible. From describing the scene and describing what I remembered of the room itself to my mom, it could have only been the first apartment my parents lived in that they left before I turned 2. So yeah, I definitely think it's possible for a 1 year old to remember something, even if they're just small fragments. Like you said, it's definitely not super common but it's possible. Some people probably have memories that they don't even realize is from when they were very young because it's so abstract.

[@Evoker23-lx8mb]

If anything he’d have vague memories of the night just like Harry has vague memories of his parents’ death.

[@masterpotato327]

The "Sirius isn't dead" theory is very sad. People who have been in prison must know that feeling, but for them, it ends with either being freed or their death. But for Sirius, it is eternal, and it's heart wrenching to think about.

[@the43rdparallelthrift34]

It's a story, it's not even real....heart wrenching? Get a grip.

[@alejandrorivera6122]

The last theory has a lot more sense, considering that Voldemort calls his followers "the deatheaters".

[@ChrisWilson-bu5qm]

Only problem with this theory is harry

[@TBKmeteor]

​​@@ChrisWilson-bu5qm exactly, and them being called death eaters, most likely doesn't have anything to do witam horcruxes, because voldemort didnt want even his followers to know about them

[@patrickdematosribeiro1845]

Another problem with the theory is that Voldemort made one Horcrux killing his farther. The muggle police made an autopsy because the couldn't determine the cause of death and concluded all three victims were perfectly healthy. They would have noticed missing body parts.

[@ubergeek1968]

Harry being a horcrux puts that theory to bed... Voldy never ate any part of him

[@poliscigirl]

@@ubergeek1968I think he would have had to eat a part of Lily? But still doesn’t make much sense, I don’t think he did

[@richewilson6394]

I think it's mostly Neville's behavior is down to the fact that his grandmother had stressed him out to being so great because of his father's past. Also until we get further evidence I don't think he was present If he was he was a child that wasn't able to hold any attention otherwise he would have been tortured as well if he was there. Or they would have tortured him to get information out of his parents.

[@dietdrpepper15]

My theory is that Dumbledore used the resurrection stone and saw his family for the entire last year of his life!

[@fleacythesheepgirl]

That’s so smart. He wore the ring so he would be constantly seeing them. And in the end he did advocate for his own demise.

[@dietdrpepper15]

@@fleacythesheepgirl it totally makes half blood and dumbledore’s last year much more dark, yet shows him the people he wanted to see the most. Cause why wouldn’t the resurrection stone work for him? Dumbledore in Harry’s head said it didn’t, buuuut I think it did.

[@CarrotCakeMake]

This is also a possible explanation to why Dumbledore cried when Harry repeated that he was "Dumbledore's man". If Dumbledore had been being tormented by the memory of betraying his sister, especially after the previous year of being betrayed by most of the wizards he ever worked with, it might have meant a lot.

[@CarrotCakeMake]

There is an issue with the Neville theory. If he had been there, he would have been the one to end up in St. Mungo's, not his parents. That is how Bellatrix operates. It is compelling, the idea that Death made the stone to get revenge on those trying to cheat death. Still I think the darkest theory is that Harry killed Cedric, and is in denial, which is why he says Voldemorte did it instead of Pettigrew. Speaking of the rat, something I noticed. The very first thing in the series we see Pettigrew do is protecting Harry from Goyle. The last thing we see him do is refuse to kill Harry. When Lupin was asked why didn't Peter kill Harry in all this time, Lupin and Sirius had an explanation. But maybe they were wrong.

[@fireidar]

Wasn't it said somewhere in the books that Alice (Neville''s mother) hid Neville in a closet somewhere when they first attacked their home? That's why they never found him before they were captured? Neville wouldn't have seen it then. Besides, he was only a little past a year\year and a half. I doubt they would have obliviated a toddler.

[@patrickdematosribeiro1845]

It was not explained in the book where Neville was when his parents were tortured, but it might be something Rowling mentioned in an interview.@@fireidar

[@bekleedee]

​@@fireidaryoud be surprised what a toddler can remember. My son remembers his older sister even though he was only 1 and a half when she passed. He says things now(hes 6) that ive never told him about her. I'd gamble Neville remembering his parents being tortured would be something that stuck with him. In saying that, i dont recall reading anything about where he was at the time. Either way, i feel for him.

[@didreams969]

@@bekleedee Neville may have witnessed the torture, or not, but he must not have been visible to death eaters or they would have tortured him to break his parents..

[@sombrerosaur]

Really ironic for Redditors to think about the dark side of the Harry Potter world, seeing as how they are the dark side of the real one

[@bsperoz]

8:00 NO!!! No no no!!! Actually I can KILL that theory right now! Harry is a horcrux. Voldemort didn't know, and didn't intend that, so he never ate a piece of Harry. YET HARRY WAS A HORCRUX! Theory disproven! 😅

[@kypriee]

And I’ll counter. Voldemort had already split his soul several times at the time he attempted to kill Harry that first time. Remember Voldemort creates a horcrux in Harry on accident. Now I believe that this is because Voldemort himself had been hit by his own killing curse after it rebounded from Harry due to his mother Lily’s love magic. As Dumbledore said Voldemorts remaining soul latched onto the first living thing it could find which at the time was Harry thus creating another horcrux unintentionally. It’d almost be like Voldemort murdered himself after his curse rebounded

[@bsperoz]

So how does this mean Voldemort ate a piece of Harry?

[@shibitoobscura3348]

​@@bsperozLike, maybe the part of Voldemort's shattered soul absorbed the blood leaking out of Harry's scar

[@CelestialKitsune13]

I wonder if instead of devouring a piece of the victims body to make a Horcruxe you might have to devour a piece of the victims soul instead. But to make a Horcruxe you have to rip off a piece of your own soul, so perhaps you need to replace that piece with something, and possibly devouring a piece of your victims soul is the way to do that?

[@ronaldoleary4935]

I'm not convinced by the obliviation explanation of Nevil's forgetfulness. First, there are other characters like Hagrid and Snape who have experienced family trauma in their childhoods but are not forgetful or awkward. Second, imagine the shock of having a memory erased then learning about it later from other people. This makes me think the wizarding world does not use obliviation on wizards to address trauma.

[@patrickdematosribeiro1845]

I highly doubt Neville witnessed his parents' torture. The death eaters wanted information. After his parents refused to answer under torture they would definitely have tortured Neville and made his parents watch and Neville would be in the same state as his parents.

[@quanti5]

Maybe it's my 2020's internet addled self, but I somewhat doubt that cannibalism alone is what makes the creation of a horcrux so disturbing. I've heard on multiple times that Rowling actually told an editor what making a horcrux required, and they were so disgusted that they demanded it never be divulged. So unless they were extremely naive or strait-laced, it has to be more than simply cannibalism.

[@allenhiu8205]

What if the “piece” of a victim you must eat is a tear from when they are crying in anguish/fear/panic when you are about to kill them? It is undetectable for any coroners. It also seems believable that someone’s last cry would not be normal tears, as they are believing they are about to die. There might be a bit of “soul” as they cry out for mercy.

[@paulhall9811]

The Regeneration potion that Voldemort bathes in contains human flesh, bone and blood. The Polyjuice potion contains the hair (usually) from the target to be copied. It's not a huge jump to cannibalism to make a Horcrux. I have a question though, how could Harry be a Horcrux if Voldemort did not chow down on him?

[@robertbeisert3315]

The implication would likely be thay he accidentally ingested some Lily or James, but it's rather weak. I like the idea that the victim's body is used to hold the soul fragment while you complete the ritual. Harry is a fluke of flukes because he lived.

[@StruffyTheClown]

@@robertbeisert3315 That would at least explain why Harry is a Horcrux, but then there is an issue with Voldemort not realising that Harry is one. If that was part of the process, he must at least entertain the idea that part of his soul could still be within Harry

[@robertbeisert3315]

@@StruffyTheClown he should have, anyway, since he was ready to make a horcrux that night.

[@taters4326]

​@@robertbeisert3315wait, where was James before Voldy kills Lily? Even if just in the hall while Lily runs to Harry...

[@Fiery154]

Harry can be a horcrux bc the spell was incomplete and the ritual was botched. The ripping of Voldy’s soul happened and the soul shard got lodged into Harry, but since it was inadvertent, Lord V did not complete the eating part of the ritual, which would have patched up his ripped soul. So that in turn explains why This Time, his being got shot into oblivion and he had to spend the next few decades being either incorporeal or a parasite.

[@ProfessorLonghair90]

If Fiendfyre can destroy a horcrux, does that mean when Crabe dies in the room of requirement from his own spell that he experiences no after life?

[@michelleallan96]

I just have a QUESTION and I’m wondering if anyone else noticed this. In the 2nd Book Harry and Ron need to disguise their voices after they use Polyjuice Potion to change into Crabe & Goyle BUT when they use Polyjuice in the 7th book this isn’t an issue. Just noticed this after reading the books about 7 or 8 times.

[@TheUncleRuckus]

Of course the theory that Umbridge was savaged by the Centaurs when they kidnapped her didn't make it. 😂

[@PrecariousPorcupine]

I’m still confused when it comes to horcruxes, because how did Voldemort “accidentally” turn Harry into one?

[@rexjoseph7006]

Probably he wanted to make his 6th and final horcrux using Harry's death (his enemy) and did the preparations before hand.

[@AustynSN]

His soul was such a fragile broken tattered mess that when the avada kadavra curse he cast on Harry bounced back and hit him, it caused his remaining soul to shatter and a piece clung to Harry.

[@karenthomas1456]

well he did draw blood when he created the scar. Not difficult to think of him absorbing it.

[@johnmccombe6342]

I really want to know why Dobby went out of his way to save Harry since he was the house elf for the Malfoys. Was it maybe that Dobby was the house elf for the Potters before Voldemort killed Harry's parents? Or was Dobby just out to support Harry because of how bad the Malfoys treated him? Or did the Malfoys really want him to protect Harry? I am wondering because Kreature seemed to take on a lot of the predominant personality aspects of the Black family. Also, maybe the Malfoys had really been over being so dedicated to Voldemort and in secret wanted to keep Harry ok. Any insight into this would be awesome. Thanks and thank you for the great videos.

[@emakelley6807]

I think Dobby simply wanted to do what was right / inherently wanted freedom so it unconsciously drove his decision making, and he is much smarter than given credit for. A deep dive on Dobby and house elves would be awesome. Remember Kreacher was hiding the Horcrux locket without knowing what it was and after it was out of his possession he became less broody and more caring (I think he made the golden trio breakfast or something)

[@CarrotCakeMake]

One of the things said in the books is that house elfs take after whoever is nice to them. It is suggested in the books that the reason Kreacher betrayed Sirius was because Bellatrix was simply nice to him. And the Malfoys are certainly not nice to Dobby.

[@saphiramystique2086]

I doubt the Potters ever owned Dobby, because if they did Harry would have inherited him, and he wouldn’t belong to The Malfoys. Dobby just wanted to help Harry because he was a Harry Potter fan, Dobby doesn't act like a topical house-elf, he dislikes Malfoys the family that owned him and wanted freedom, he's the only house-elf shown like that, unless you count Kreacher who hated Sirius but even he didn't want his freedom, Dobby was odd for a house-elf, and did things on his own whenever he was able to.

[@mrow7598]

I personally think Dobby committed suicide at the end. House Elfs will instintively punish themselves if they do something wrong or break an order. And at the end of the 2nd book, Harry orders Dobby to never save his live again. However we know Harry and the crew got captured and Dobby went to save them. I think he moved in front of the knife to punish himself and of course how would an elf punish himself for saving a life he wasn't... By killing himself. :-(

[@CunningStunt92]

@@mrow7598Now that’s dark, but also potentially true and will now live as Cannon in my head. Thanks for that.

[@GamesByJDK]

I still think a horcrux was a glorified Phylactery from AD&D, and that voldemort was basically a Lich.

[@tonyamcinvale-brown5950]

Regarding the spirits before Harry dies...kinda Makes sense Dumbeldore knew what type of spirit would come from the Resurrection stone..why Dumbledore left it to him and knew Harry would need a push to go through with dying so to speak.

[@KadenHartley]

That makes no sense but okay 👍

[@TheForbiddenDance]

There is a loophole for the entire book. Dumbledore was so smart but he never thought to find voldermort when he was weak and set up one of those secret keeper spells such that he(Dumbledore) is the only person who can ever find voldermort and then just leave him to wander around with nobody else being able to see him forever

[@oneautumnleaff2119]

its weird how out of all these the 1 thing people are nitpicking is Neville while Sirius literally died... like he LITERALLY was murdered....

[@dieserhugo2960]

Another dark theory: Bertha Jorkins was pregnant when Voldemort tortured her for information. After he killed her, Wormtail took the baby out of her and Voldemort's mist-like presence possessed the baby. That's how he got the rudimentary Minimort body.

[@cacklebabygg6156]

But how would she have a kid, she was a social outcast nobody would hook up and a spouse would have been mentioned

[@kestrelwings]

I think that the veil is like listening to a tape recording of a loved one. That means that it isn't especially magical and doesn't have anything to do with souls.

[@chris_zed7425]

I wished rowling continued that encyclopedia all they way in the early 2010. It was going to explain how the horcrux would been made. The polyjuce theory is the equivalent of a cosplayer fulfilling your sexual fantasy 😂

[@magicpyroninja]

The implications of that are staggering no more celebrity nude fakes. You could just turn into them. Take all the pictures you want. Make any videos you want and literally monetize somebody else's appearance

[@LadyBeyondTheWall]

I mean.. as weird as it is.. you could even have a partner take polyjuice potion with your own hair in it.. lol. Narcissists would like it probably?

[@kalebnolan8343]

I don’t think the shades of Harry’s parents and Sirius were convincing Harry to die, more than likely they were trying to prepare him for what might come. Obviously they aren’t going to tell him it’s painful but clearly knew it was a possibility that he would die attempting to bring peace to the wizarding world but knew it had to be done.

[@NicoleLuvzMA]

The only thing that does debunk the last one is he would have had to intentionally ingested part of lily or James before he attacked Harry but he didn’t intended on the spell rebounding and killing his physical body so how could he have made Harry a Horcux then

[@rhueoflandorin]

My theory on the resurrection stone was that, it was indeed, death's one making, but because of the precise wording of the brother's request "the ability to RECALL those from death" --- can mean "to remember those who have died" ----the stone brings back the IMAGE of the person as you remember/know/think about them. So, if the person had a scar, and you "saw past it", when the stone created their image, the scar wouldn't be there...they'd be WHOLE. Because you saw them that way. It can only bring back those you've loved, know....and remember...it brings back your MEMORY of them. thus, JK rowling used the word "RECALL"

[@voxorox]

I wonder if anyone has ever pranked someone by sneaking a little polyjuice potion into their drink, changing the victim into somebody else temporarily.

[@DrankenDune]

There was obviously logical reasons for it but after Dumbledore put the ring on he had his death “expedited.”

[@unionjack84]

I don't think Sirius is in purgatory, more like the souls of departed witches and wizards are inside The Veil. Remember, Luna heard the voices as well, not just Harry. Harry's parents and grandparents may have been speaking to him as well. I just don't understand why Ron didn't hear his uncles. Hermione wouldn't hear voices because she is a muggle, why would any dead witch or wizard recognize her?

[@didreams969]

Ron was lucky to have plenty of live family but Harry and Luna had so little, and this made them more aware ..

If V had to eat a part of his victim, what part of Harry did he eat when he turned him into a Horcrux?

[@DavidAltman-g1l]

One theory i have about the room of requirement is that most of the items (i'd say at least 90%) were put there by the hogwarts house elfs. When ever something was broken or new stuff was brought in the elves were told to get rid of the old. That would explain why dobby knew about it. Also why it seems none of the teachers did

[@flyonthewall8122]

[@jenneacubero1036]

Come to think of it, couldn’t Bellatrix (or Barty Jr.) have used the a bit of the Cruciatus Curse on baby Neville. Either in hope to detriment his mind enough to not defeat Voldemort or as a fear tacic to get Frank and Alice to give any info about Dumbledore’s plans.

[@StruffyTheClown]

ngl Harry becoming an "unvoluntary" horcrux made never any sense to me. This is extremely advanced dark magic and it just "happened"? The killing curse backfired. Voldemort literally died. What enables his soul to attach itself to "the only living thing" around? That part of his soul (along with his body) shouldve simply died. What I mean specifically is: When Voldemort is killing someone, why dont THEIR souls attach themselves to the only other living thing around? They just pass on. If your soul has the ability to attach itself to something living in the vicinity at the moment of your death, the whole concept of horcruxes makes no sense. There wouldnt be a point in splitting your soul and securing it somewhere, if at the point of death you can refuse to pass on anyway and instead attach yourself to something that is around.

[@danielarthur2950]

What if, to make a horceux, you have to eat part of YOUR SELF? Tt would explain the missing nose, the slits for eyes, the baldness, and the pail white skin. What do yous think?

[@protocore4034]

[@gildedbear5355]

Here is my horcrux "theory": the process of making a horcrux needs to not just be gross to us muggles, it needs to be gross to Death Eaters. These are people who are perfectly fine with killing and torturing people. A momentary super gross act is a small price to pay for immortality. Sure, creating a horcrux is difficult and not well know (that we can tell) but it's well known enough that a kid at Hogwarts could learn enough about what it was that he asked a teacher about it and then was able to make one not that long after he left school. The knowledge is rare, but not so impossible to find that it takes a lifetime to put the pieces together. That all being said, here is what I think has to happen: * creating a horcrux (much like other powerful magics like becoming an animagus or polyjuice potion) requires a lot of preparation; you have to prime yourself and the item that will be used to house the horcrux. * there is a potion involved. * one of the ingredients of the potion is a piece of your own flesh that you hold in your mouth as it rots. (this is where Moldy Warts came up with the name "deatheater". Over the course of making the potion you will smell like you eat rotten flesh) * once enough time has passed, or the flesh has become sufficiently rotten, it's added to the rest of the simmering potion with lots of death themed ingredients. * the item to become the horcrux is then soaked in the potion to connect it to your flesh. * then you drink the potion to connect yourself back to the item to be the horcrux. * there are, of course, certain incantations that need to be spoken during all of this. * at this point the item is primed to pick up a portion of your soul and your soul is primed for part of it to be picked up by something other than yourself. * now you just have to kill someone in a way that will fracture your soul. * you murder somebody, your soul fractures and because everything is primed the fragment that broke off during the murder sticks to the item (now horcrux) rather than your body. (if eating some of the victim is required it'd be part of this as well) Side thoughts: * murder that isn't used to create a horcrux fractures the soul but all of the pieces remain "in" your body and sort of partially fuse back together. It's still one soul but cracked and flawed now. * modly warts' soul piece stuck to Harry because his soul was already primed to stick to something else when it was split off. However, since it couldn't attach to the horcrux item (since the ritual was incomplete) and it couldn't attach back to moldy warts (since his body just got avada'ed) the only place left was Harry.

Concerning the veil Theory - during that scene it seemed like Harry and Luna were the only ones that could hear the voices... so as the same goes that only Harry and Luna can see the thestrals because they have seen dead, i take it as the same idea with the veil.

Every time they do a Harry Potter video it's always they always say it does no good to dwell on dreams but the funny thing is sometimes the dreams are better than what is so maybe it's better to dream of what you can't have or whatever goes well to go well instead of being miserable with what constantly just screwed you over

Dumbledore said this to Harry because Harry was becoming addicted to sitting in front of The Mirror of Erised & gazing upon his parents.

[@johntoscano5874]

Great video as always. One question about the horcrox’s….if eating part of the victim or drinking the blood from the victim was part of the process how was Harry a horcrox? I know Dumbledore said Voldemort’s soul attached to the closest living thing (Harry) but that wouldn’t have then made a horcrox?!?! Very interesting topic as always though 👍🏼❤️

[@MountainFisher]

Hermione knew how to make a Horcrux. Anyone who read the books would know that. She said Voldemort would have learned everything he needed from the books she summoned from Dumbledore's office. It is unbelievable, but Hogwarts had those books in its Library until Dumbledore removed them. And as Hermione said he didn't destroy them. If Hogwarts' Library had contained such evil books it certainly was not the only place. How did Regulus(Leo) Arcturus(Bootes)* Black ascertain that Voldemort had abused Kreacher to place a Horcrux in the form of Slytherin's Locket in the dark cave? No clue as to how Regulus could possibly know the Locket was a horcrux unless his family had the knowledge? Regulus went to Hogwarts after Dumbledore had became headmaster so those books had already been removed from the school's Library when Regulus got there. So it comes down to Hermione knew how to make one as did Regulus. We know where Hermione acquired her knowledge, but Regulus must have known from his family's library. In 'Order Of The Phoenix' it is mentioned that they threw away books at Number Twelve Grimmauld Place. Regulus knew from his Dark Magic loving family's private Library what a Horcrux was at the very least. Just my humble opinion. *Constellations

[@TheTeutonicPlague]

Polyjuice made from celeb hair? Wooooof… talk about Harry x Reader!

[@Percival77]

My theory for the horcrux ritual is that instead of eating some of its flesh, you have to drink all of your victims blood. Blood is such a prominent theme in HP and the thought of drinking litres of blood is so disgusting that it would fit everything JK has said about the ritual.

[@lauramiller4939]

Per Slughorn, it sounds like the wizard selects the object that they want to store their torn piece of soul, kills a person and then casts a spell to move the torn part of their soul into the object. Not necessary to make it more gruesome. Killing someone without a care is meant to be considered the worst thing, so adding cannibalism says wizards are okay with that part? I think theorists go to extremes because of Hermione's disgust as she tells Harry and Ron about how horrible it is. Well, many would consider the simpler description bad enough. And I don't care if JK said it or implied cannibalism in post-publication. Also, hanging on to more than a few hairs wouldn't work, as missing body parts would have been noticed by the location vandalized for it (c'mon, even wizards need tools to steal parts or organs, and dead bodies can't heal if it's done after they die). Drawing blood would leave marks, too, regardless of magic. Then there's time to consider: Tom killed Myrtle late in year 5 (June 13, 1943) and (per GoF) his father and grandparents two months later in August (in Slughorn's memory, even the altered one, Harry noticed Tom was wearing the Gaunt ring while talking with Slughorn, proving he'd already murdered his father). Riddle didn't read about horcruxes until after he started his 6th year. Harry noticed other boys in the memory were older than Tom, who himself was (or nearing) 17. And, as Harry pointed out, Tom likely took some time creating his carefully constructed inquiry before bringing it up with his favorite teacher.

I feel bad I just refinished the twilight films again last night

[@simon_lukas]

If Sirius didn't went through the veil he would have 100 percent returned as a ghost. He was the definition of "living in the past", with him confusing Harry for James and all...

[@saphiramystique2086]

Yeah, I can see Sirius coming back as a ghost if he could, but he never confused Harry as James, his calling Harry James in OOTP was just some dumb thing the movie added, he never did that in the book, and Molly accusing Sirius of thinking Harry was James was the only time it was even mentioned in the books.

[@mmckenna1017]

Harry being a horcrux puts a hole in the whole cannibalism theory tho doesn't it? love the videos.

[@shayaeido8405]

Cannibalism makes sense, I mean he did drink unicorn blood, you do need blood for a lot of really powerful spells so I wouldn’t be shocked , all of these make sense

[@wvu05]

If eating is necessary, then how did Harry become a horcrux?

[@pj9691]

im not a huge fan of the cannibalism part of a horcrux for the simple reason that unless you have to eat them before they are dead; how did Voldemort make Harry in to a 'TRUE' horcrux? The basis of Harry being a Horcrux from my perspective is that the vessel was 'temporarily' broken, which allows the Soul piece in, and then sealed over- Harry's Scar. Whilst I do believe there is something horrific that has to take place for the creation of the Horcrux, I would surmise that it is a spell/enchantment/ritual that takes place beforehand and is actually completed at the casting of the killing curse, which splits the soul- which would make more sense as the amount of other people than Voldemort that cast the killing curse, whose souls are seemingly still intact, or atleast 'together' and they ave not accidentally created Horcrux's like Voldemort did with Harry. Speculation on the ritual or like would be something akin to what Grindlewald did with the chillen in FBAWTFT. The sacrifice of some innocent animal, bathing in its blood or drinking it. Im not thinking Unicorn blood as it would be too obvious, but maybe something like a Mooncalf calf etc.

7:33 relax it was the Hunger Games.

[@Gavinmartinlee]

I always thought that the veil is in fact an ancient wizard execution chamber similar to the one that MACUSA use in Fantastic Beasts and thinking about it the resurrection stone might actually be made from similar magic I like the idea of Voldemort indulging in cannibalism in order to create a horcrux but with one exception I think he may have had to eat parts of his own flesh it would explain where his nose went

[@dub537h]

Neville was actually the chosen one. Hermoine changed species with the polyjuice potion.

[@voen]

I like how Twilight caught a stray!

[@forteanmobius3272]

Cannibal Horcruxes? How could Voldemort have eaten any part of Harry? Or performed a ritual? There was neither time nor intent.

[@EsseyTT-lk4cf]

This is we’re I go when I wanna be entertained

[@hiddentruth1982]

A disturbing theory for you. How Voldemort found the potters was because Snape betrayed them. My reasoning is that Harry's mother wasn't killed but his father was. She only died because she protected Harry. Snape made a deal to have her stay alive if he revealed their location.

[@ukyba]

That's not possible though. Due to the spell with the secret keeper, literally no one could know where the potters were unless Peter Pettigrew told them. Even if snape wanted to betray them, he couldn't have known where they were hiding. And you can't torture the answer from the secret keeper. They have to willingly tell it to you.

[@Iongines]

Harry was a horcrux, this meant Voldemort had to have eaten either Lily or Harry. Which does not seem plausible.

[@mecahhannah]

❤Awesome as always thanks

[@PurpleWeasel1323]

Voldemort's goal was to make 7 horcruxes, slughorn even references that in his memories that to kill 7 people. So once Voldemort returned, he wasn't aware Harry was a horcrux he had only made 6 at his destruction, why didn't he make another one, completing his ideal 7th horcrux?

[@DanBeech-ht7sw]

7 part soul, not 7 horcruxes. He didn't know about the bit in Harry, so he thought he'd made 6 horcruxes with a bit in himself as well. Of course we know he actually had an 8 part soul.

[@PurpleWeasel1323]

@@DanBeech-ht7sw ahhh ok ty for explaining

[@melaniemanning2462]

Well, except Voldy made a Horcruxe in Harry without knowing it/meaning to.

[@kuuttinen]

Was it only a theory that Voldemort was evil because of what his mother did? If that were true she'd be the true villain of the story. Personally I think she was one of the worst characters, making someone love you and even having a child with someone like that is disgusting. No wonder her kid became a mess.

[@otakubancho6655]

If you can't change species,then how did Hermione turn into a cat?

[@konuralpyldzkan1495]

cannibalism can't be true since dumbledore probably made an extensive egzamination or research on the victims' bodies because he knew voldemorts immortality was connected to his victims. he would realise some organs were missing

[@tammylammy9513]

if he had to eat a part of the victim to make a horcux then that would mean he ate part of lily?

[@futuresonex]

The theory about Neville is wrong, at least the part about him witnessing his parents' torture. We're talking about Bellatrix LaStrange here. Do you really think she would have spared Neville just because he was a baby? Absolutely not, she would have tortured him and made his parents watch as he screamed and died! He wasn't there, period. As for the Polyjuice Potion, celebrities would not be selling their hair. There may be a black-market for it, but they would do everything they could to prevent it from getting out. Think about it. Would you want a carbon copy of you walking around able to do anything they want while wearing your face, body, and fingerprints?! "Hey, look! Jennifer Lawrance just filmed a porno! Brad Pitt just committed a triple murder in front of a dozen witnesses!" Seriously?

[@katmandoism]

If you really watch there were times when Dumbledore had 2 of the 3 deadly hallows . He had the wand and the cloak the he had the stone and the wand. So he must have known more about the deadly hallows because he had the chance to have all 3 but didn't.

[@doll9340]

7:33 hopefully not Twilight lol 😂💀

[@benjaminsurrette3034]

but he died and made harry a horcrux at the same time wouldnt that be hard to participate in cannibalism

[@alanrogers7090]

Polyjuice Potion can not change species, so why did Hermione turn into a cat?

[@FichtenFin]

She just hat a cats face and a tail, not really a whole real cat

The last hocrux would be most evil.

[@gilzineto]

You needing to eat your victim to be able to create a horcrux makes no sense as Voldemort didn't get the opportunity to eat anyone when he created a horcrux in harry!

[@BigBones187]

idk about the eating part It makes sense at first but what about Harry then?: Did OldVoldy eat part of Harry? I guess he could have and we just didnt get to know it but seems unlikely to me.

[@SakariWolf13]

I would have assumed they would have consumed part of the murder victim, not the intended horcrux. So, Voldemort would have consumed part of either James or Lily.

[@Kornheiser10]

When Voldemort created the final Harry Horcrux by accident he was killed...so he couldn't eat Harry....

[@haley4699]

I mean... honestly, they were not really disturbing when u considered all the ones out there. And they are all believable to an extent. Especially the Sirius one since jk Rowling loved irony when it came to deaths. Dumbles died due to his lingering need for power and control, leading to him picking up the stone, seeking the deathly hollows, and getting cursed. James gets betrayed by the friend he belittled and overlooked as weak and pathetic. Pettigrew died betraying the master he handed the potters to by saving the last potter. So it makes sense that Sirius died suspended in purgatory forever, always in a state of indecisiveness and never able to move on. Much like how he never moved on from his family or his bullying ways towards snape.

[@zackchaozmaster]

In the the last one an add-on its not bodies you eat but the soul. the for more bad Its R and eat the at lest even a small of soul at the same time

[@tclapson]

So how did Voldermort "eat" Harry Potter in order to make him a horcrux ??

[@rexjoseph7006]

Did Voldemort eat the diary or any of the other horcruxes?

that last one makes sense as V's followers are literally called "death eaters"

Purgatory is the location where Harry goes after Voldemort tried to kill him in the forbidden Forest. The Veil is just a way to the afterlife.

[@KadenHartley]

No it isn't

[@mikebrown1881]

@@KadenHartley yes it is. The place where Harry goes is the place where Voldemort’s soul will be trapped forever, so it is the purgatory. And the Veil is a way to the place beyond the purgatory.

I never thought about celebrities selling there hair for poly juice potion, I would not put it past Lockhart to sell his hair and probably liking the idea of being the fantasy of woman. The theory about horcruxs I have heard and I could believe that since it is the darkest of magic. The other theories I do not really buy.
