[@Ranger1812]

That's not true in terms of each splitting of your soul splitting your soul in half. Your soul is either always in an equal-sized number of pieces (I.E. a three-part soul means your soul is in equal thirds, but if you split it again each piece is an equal quarter of the whole), or a specific amount is split off each time, for example every time you split your soul it splits off an eighth of the original amount.

[@bladehoon]

its a nose-seeking sword

[@Godzillawolf1]

There is an actual potential loophole here: Would the sword become a Horcrux, or would it just absorb Voldemort's power? Because remember, it doesn't now have a supply of Basilisk venom inside it, it has the qualities of basilisk venom. So the question is, would the sword become a Horcrux, or would it simply 'eat' the piece of soul and take in Voldemort's power? Or would it perhaps just absorb the power of a Horcrux? IE, so long as Voldemort and his horcruxes exist, the sword can't be destroyed?

[@Boycicle]

This for some reason seems more viable to me. I like the eating analogy quite a but

[@rachelzahava8292]

Yes something more like this makes sense to me, the sword isn't a basilisk, it's just poisonous, it wouldn't be a horcrux it just might be able to posses and control people somewhat or make them extra angry, but that isn't always a good thing so it would need control over it. If the sword was a full on horcrux then the sword would be weakened in some ways

[@PhilBagels]

Yeah. I don't see why becoming a horcrux makes it stronger. How many people/monsters have been killed (or at least stabbed) by the sword in it's centuries-long history? Were all of their souls absorbed by the sword? All of their powers? If Godric Gryffindor killed some evil wizard back in the day, that doesn't mean the sword gains the power to use magic on its own. Likewise, if you used the sword to destroy a broom, that doesn't necessarily give the sword the ability to fly. It seems to me that the most important inherent quality of the sword is to present itself to a worthy Gryffindor in time of need. If it was made to house a piece of Voldy's soul, it becomes a corrupt and reviled thing. Worthy Gryffindors would consider it an abomination, much like the Grey Lady did with the diadem, once it had been made into a horcrux. I'd say that would make the sword weaker. It would no longer inspire the pride and courage and love of Gryffindor.

[@DeeSnow97]

so basically trying to turn the sword into a horcrux results in a "no u"

[@chanbricks4461]

@@PhilBagels The idea of someone chopping up a Firebolt using the sword so they can fly using it is hilarious

Presumably goblin smiths have a way to melt down their own products. I feel like it would have turned into a side quest into goblin smithing methods and we probably would have met a super awesome goblin smith side character.

[@Civilian08]

They probably would have had to cast it into a volcano, but that would have been too on the nose of a Tolkien reference, even considering that the Ring was functionally Sauron's horcrux anyway.

[@ithinkihadeight]

I was gonna say, until there's something concrete about how Goblin made items are actually crafted and enchanted, I feel like we're missing a big chunk of the equation.

[@jetkirby]

I was also going to comment that goblin made steel can probably be destroyed by goblin magic of some kind or technique, and if that fails I bet house elf magic would work, or some other manner of magical beast magic that defies wizards rules

[@ElysiaWhitemoonOmega]

@@Civilian08 i had that idea too, but wouldnt that heat make the sword stronger too, so the sword would stay at the bottom of the volcano (maybe sinking to the center of the earth), but then again, every worthy gryffondor would then be able to magically take it back (guess kill every gryffondor solves that)

[@joelifer2096]

I always thought of it as that the horcruxes, as much as they do definitely imbue power, they also change the original purpose of of the object: a diary is for writing in confidentiality, but instead it is used for manipulation and also hidden away a ring is for wearing but once it became a horcrux the Gaunt ring cannot be worn without inflicting harm and is hidden away a locket is for keeping loved ones close to your heart, but instead it is used to manipulate people a cup is to be put on display for all to see as it shows pride in ones accomplishment, but once it is a horcrux, it is locked away in a vault and hidden a diadem is to be worn, it shows beauty and wealth and is there to be displayed on someone's head, but it is hidden (to be fair, it was hidden before it became a horcrux however this still doesn't contradict my original statement) snakes are meant to be wild and live of small mammals such as rats, but once a horcrux, Nagini begins to get more aggressive and gains an appetite for humans Harry was meant to live a full ordinary life (for a wizard), but the horcrux changed him, made him a parseltongue, made him different and changed his entire life. This change, would surely cause the sword of Gryffindor to reject the horcrux as its primary purpose is to become a more powerful sword, and becoming a horcrux would prevent it from being a sword even if it made it more powerful also, the vast majority of the power which a horcrux imbues is defensive and a sword is an offensive weapon, so whatever defensive measures the horcrux may imbue, it would not become a more powerful sword.

[@kingaflamez6941]

I don't think the sword chooses "worthy" or generically powerful things to absorb, I think the sword absorbs traits that would make it more powerful as a sword and repls the rest. A soul would not give any benefits to a sword, so I think it would repel a horcrux. But this makes me wonder: Why did the sword not keep the flame it was forged in? Do goblins not use fire to shape their metals?

[@lukeroberson2115]

Goblins are stated to have their own magic that they don't teach wizards. It's entirely possible they don't.

[@samsontag]

I have a head canon that trying to turn the sword into a Horcrux is what repelled the killing curse from Harry and reflected the piece of soul onto him instead. The protection from love was never powerful enough to block the curse, it just prevented Voldemort from touching Harry. Even in the graveyard, Voldemort just says "I could not touch the boy” when he is describing the magic of Lily's sacrifice. The head canon is even more elaborate but the rest of it is purely just my speculation on the details

[@jacearmor5274]

Probably not, as the as the Diadem of Ravenclaw was described as being a tarnished silver, so it's not made of goblin silver. Meaning it is not goblin silver like the Sword of Gryffindor. Goblin silver swords would probably reflect the horcrux spell.

[@darkamora5123]

Goblin silver repels mundane dirt. Perhaps it became tarnished in becoming a Horcrux, ie a magical dirtiness. In truth I don't actually think goblin silver can become a horcrux either, I am just postulating a possible way for it to be both tarnished and goblin wrought.

@@anacvetko5865 But the goblins have worked with this metal forever, they would still know how it works and if that's possible or how to get around it. They believe everything they make still belongs to them, the only reason they don't have the sword is because Griffindor was so stubborn. So I'm sure they've worked through all manner of situations, doesn't matter what the sword has absorbed, if the sword is a horcrux then the goblins are the best equiped to handle the situation or at the very least find a solution. There has to be a weakness to this metal and I bet it's something only they know and no one else would figure out.

J and Ben I have a question you guys need to look into. In ootp when Harry first encounters the veil he whispers sirius' name to it before they start examining it, do you think it's the kind of magic you have to speak into and that's why sirius when through the veil? He was named before it, just seems she doesn't do anything accidentally but it's never talked about again.

[@James_Wisniewski]

I should think the fact that the sword can randomly teleport into the hands of people who are likely to want to destroy anything associated with Voldemort or the Dark Arts would make it the worst item Voldemort could possibly turn into a horcrux, so it's just as well that it never became one.

[@YouTubeKargo]

I think there must be a magical way to destroy goblin steel that never comes up in the book. Something like this is so powerful it probably requires a lot of power to create, but I don't think we've seen anything that is literally undestroyable in the magic world, just a lot of things that are hard to destroy or that don't need to be destroyed.

[@kajetanmazurkiewicz5459]

You guys should make a video about how the heck magical paintings and photos work. Do they work under the same principle? How sentient are they? How freely can they travel? Are all the paintings (or photos) of one person connected (like the painting at Dumbledore's brother place being connected to the painting in Hogwarts)? What is the limitation of this or how much could this be abused if we apply the rules given?

[@tusharchetal]

Nope, the sword wouldn't accept the Horcrux since it would give it Voldemort's -1000 ability to plan weddings and the sword would not take that

[@FernandoCastro-hw4bo]

Excellent video guys!! I have a request though: could you guys do a series of hp rankings? Anything from characters to books would be very much appreciated. Really enjoy the channel!

[@VirtuallyViktoriyan]

The sword having similar powers to Fawkes aligns nicely with the Albus is a descendent of Godric theory. And just doubles up on the “appears when a Gryffindor(Dumbledore) is in great need” lines we have got about the sword and phoenixes. Just treat ‘Gryffindor’ both as a family name, and then it works for both house and blood relatives.

[@Miss_Myth]

*"TERRIBLE, but GREAT."* Possibly the greatest delivery of any line ever. John Hurt is amazing. He gave every drop of meaning that NEEDED to be in that line. Had to come to the towel section and geek out, just for a second. 🤩🥰😁 Also also... The TI-83 reference made. my. day. Headcanon ACCEPTED! 😎 Also also actually actually... petition to add underbritches to the list of greatest words alongside rocketship and racecar. 😂

[@MCjossic]

About Avada Kedavra, I think it might work on the sword. The spell means something to the effect of “let the thing be destroyed” (in Latin I think), so it’s not exclusively a killing curse. We saw in Voldemort and Dumbledore’s duel at the Ministry that Avada Kedavra can destroy non living things. The golden centaur was shattered, and a desk got set on fire by the curse. And unlike basilisk venom and feindfyre, Avada Kedavra has no counter other than a sacrifice (Phoenix tears for basilisk venom, and feindfyre has a counter curse). Other than sacrificial love, no known magic can block, divert, or otherwise stop the killing curse. That includes being absorbed.

[@matthewsnowdon8530]

More so my own theory but theres not to my knowledge a magic creature in hp that can survive it but if there is it maybe possible to defend against the curse

[@lordvika2526]

Didn't the golden stuff reflect the curse while the stone stuff got destroyed. I remember they did a video about it.

Tom Riddle/Voldemort is arguably the most powerful wizard of all time. Albus Dumbledore: Am I a Joke To You?

[@lukeroberson2115]

Keep in mind it's arguably. Also, the only time they dueled, Albus was master of the Elder Wand. So it's actually possible Voldemort was the better wizard, Dumbledore was just getting a buff.

[@asailijhijr]

We don't (and never will) know the secret process of forming a horcrux in addition to the necessary murder. That process may involve something that the sword wouldn't be receptive to, or something that strengthens the sword in a way that otherwise prevents it from becoming a horcrux.

[@Miss_Myth]

I've seen that too, but I actually really love the alternate version posted by "tsorin" = Lucy as Gryffindor (Aslan: "If you were any braver, you'd be a lioness."); Susan as Slytherin (tsorin: "... fights w/ words and tradition before she picks up her bow... uses her charm and her wit to make your desires align w/ hers."); Edmund as Ravenclaw (tsorin: "... learned... to stop & think before casting judgment... who evaluates before he acts."); Peter as Hufflepuff (tsorin: "... tried to be Father to keep his family together... stood up to the White Which to protect his brother who had just betrayed him... who felt... he had betrayed Narnia & its people by coming back to England.")

New theory....the Basilisk was the original hogwarts protector before salazar went all slytherin

[@lauracoons9766]

Thank you for putting this debate to rest in my house. My son and i were discussing what the horcrux he was intending to make that night could have been. He (my son) was convinced it was the sword and i had said "no" because it vanishes when someone who is not worthy tries to use it. I had suggested that Gryffindor had other artifacts (maybe buried with him there at Godrics Hollow) because after all he'd left the sorting hat too. I guess though.... He wouldn't be trying to use it per say, just spell it. So yeah, that works.

[@Roach1]

on the topic of gryffindor's sword absorbing anything that makes it stronger AND on the topic of waiting for a lightning strike to get a lightning sword do you think you could block the unblockable avada kedavra curse using the sword? would it bounce off or be absorbed?
