Do you think its weird Voldemort didn’t come back as a ghost?

[@a.melialeung]

Hi!

[@cooperbouse]

Yea

I don’t think enough of his soul was left to become a ghost.

[@CMW003]

He probably had a plan to, meaning it will never actually happen

[@carrie637]

Yes, do you think Voldemort didn’t come back as a ghost because of how ripped up his soul was? He wasn’t able to completely cross the threshold of death because his soul was so ripped up.

[@JessicaClark-lq4gw]

It's been a while since I read deathly Hallows but when Hermione explains about the soul fragment in a horcrux being destroyed I dont think she ment it crosses over. I think it ment ceases to exist. When Voldemort dies his soul is so ruined by all the pieces missing that it becomes impossible to leave a ghost form behind. The piece from Harry having a form in limbo was only in existence until harry chose to come back and then stopped existing. My belief is that regardless of Harry's choice at Kings Cross the soul fragment would have been wiped out of existence as soon as harry left it behind.

"A ghost is the imprint of a departed soul and they are, as Potter so wisely tells us, transparent." A maimed soul couldn't leave a real imprint.

I always liked those lines

[@avigails8438]

So the soul itself does not remain in the physical realm just the imprint. Good research

[@armadillolover99]

“Well, what Harry said is the most useful if we’re trying to tell them apart! When we come face to face with them in a dark alley, we’re going to be having a shufti to see if it’s solid, aren’t we? We’re not gonna be asking ‘Excuse me, are you the imprint of a departed soul?’”

[@UnfamiliarIntimacy]

Robert Billing "The imprint of a departed soul". I don't get that. Isn't the entire point of a ghost that your soul doesn't ascend to the afterlife? Or are they saying as a spirit you're a remnant of what was a mortal being? I don't understand how you can be a imprint of yourself. But maybe that has something to do with how I interpret a ghost in of itself as a soul.

[@just1girl08]

Unfamiliar Intimacy0070 I think the imprint thing is related to what Pottermore says about being stuck with the state of consciousness you have when you die. If Moaning Myrtle never died, her soul would have “evolved” from this consciousness and by the time Harry is in Hogwarts she would have become a nice old lady who doesn’t even remember being teased in school on this specific day. But because she died, 50 years later she is still upset over it. I think of it kind of like taking a picture of the departing soul at the moment of departure, this “soul picture” (much like some actual pictures in the world of HP) can interact with their surroundings as they would have at the moment of their death but can’t go through deeper character development like forgiveness or maturity.

[@jobbytop]

Tom Riddle and the Tattered Diary - Chapter 1 and 2: Voldemort is forced to NOT become a ghost in the afterlife, but since Tom is still solid, he escapes by finding the dead Bellatrix Lestrange and she leads her to the exit for mortals. Chapters 3, 4, 5, 6: Voldemort searches through the forbidden forest as a ghost and meets centaurs, blast ended skrewts and Grawp, while being hunted by the ghost and in chapter 6 he faces against him, and learns that the only way to kill a ghost is by getting a human to make them dissapear, which Voldemort learns when he is almost shot by a Evanesco spell while a student tries to get rid of him on the astronomy tower, but the shot misses and kills the other ghost Chapter 7 is the student trying to warn the Ministry, but failing because he's talking to Umbridge. Of course you'd fail. Chapter 8 is Voldemort meeting with Walden Macnair, and Macnair agrees to find a way to bring him back. Chapter 9 is Voldemort and Macnair in the Hogwarts Library at night, trying to find a way to bring Voldemort back to life, and they learn the only way to bring somebody back to life isn't possible unless they made a Horcrux, and you have to repair the horcruxes with the opposite of basilisk venom, phoenix tears. Chapter 10 and 11 are Voldemort and Macnair sneaking through Hogwarts trying to kidnap Fawkes. When they find him with McGonagall, they steal him and escape. Chapter 12, 13, and 14 are Voldemort and Macnair getting into the Potions area at Hogwarts. They find a bottle and pour the tears in, but Slughorn steals it when he sees them and duels Macnair, but loses and is Stupefied out the Hogwarts window, but not before he alerts McGonagall. Chapter 15 is Macnair and Voldy escaping Hogwarts. The bottle is dropped and almost smashes, and Fawkes is taken back, which means Voldemort and Macnair only have so much phoenix tears to work with. Chapter 16, and 17: Macnair and Tom tell Narcissa, Lucius, Draco, Alecto, Amycus, Dolohov, and Rookwood that they can revive Voldemort, and they set off to go back to get the Diary. Chapter 17 - 26: The journey to Hogwarts. Many things happen, Draco and Alecto almost get killed by Devil's Snare, A forest fire, A hippogriff attack, and almost getting killed by Ministry Aurors trying to hunt them down after McGonagall confirms that Voldemort is back as a ghost. Chapter 27, 28, 29 and 30: The Death eaters are put an Azkaban (Dolohov is killed for trying to escape but he'll come back in Cup of Hufflepuff), but Lucius and Draco escape and help Voldemort get the Diary and escape. Chapter 31: Draco and Lucius fight the Aurors, while Voldy sneaks away and finds Fawkes. He leads Fawkes away into the Chamber of Secrets, and locks him in so that they can come back to get tears since the bottle of tears was destroyed in the forest fire in chapter 24. Chapter 32 and 33: The calm before the storm, Voldy and the Death Eaters (excluding Draco and Lucius, they are hiding in the Chamber with Fawkes) meet up in Azkaban and make a plan. In the Gaunt Heirloom, they hunt down McGonagall to get the Gaunt Ring, which she has kept safe for years...

[@fletchly]

Good additions everyone! I kind of like the idea that Bellatrix Lestrange finds Voldemort's fragmented soul but she cannot do anything just yet. She waits with him until the day Narcissa dies (she gets found as a traitor to the dark lord, go figure). Neither Voldemort nor Bellatrix can pass over but Narcissa is bonded with Bellatrix and all three of them are bonded by a particular dark mark. Bellatrix grabs Narcissa whilst holding Voldemorts fragmented soul. Bellatrix tries to apparate out and all three are plunged into darkness. Three lost souls wandering in the void. Until suddenly a flashing of light, dull fogged vision getting clearer. Out of a clearing in a forest, a young Tom Riddle appears, with curly messy black hair and a single golden streak, piercing green eyes. With no distinction on who or what was apparating, the three souls combined. Their combined memories almost missing, they are just one person, but a whole lot more than that. They are Tom Riddle. Tom doesn't know who he is and he's about to get into a crazy adventure at Hogwarts. Over time he will get flashing headaches that show him things, like a diary. He will also have to deal with intense emotions, inherited from his other "soul mates". One good thing though, he's going to meet the famous Harry Potter, auror turned defence against the dark arts teacher and he seems to get on with him! I love the idea that Tom doesn't know who he truly is and he's building this trust relationship with Harry as if he is a father figure. The way I see it, he reclaims the older part of his souls, learning more about his old self, or this Voldemort as he goes. By the end, Bellatrix and Narcissa's souls have completely left him and it's down to the new Tom Riddle to reclaim his life as Lord Voldemort or die sadly knowing he made the right choice staying as Tom Riddle. In his head, you see this struggle as he battles the old Voldemort inside of him. Pushing him to Kill Harry and reclaim his throne. But ultimately, he makes the sacrifice play that Voldemort never could. He saves Harry. If you you want to get fancy you could say that it's the love that Harry shows for him, treating him as a son that saves his soul. Ultimately, Harry Potter saves Voldemort from himself.

[@bellalaxx]

The idea of Anti-Horcruxes is compelling - I always just thought they were outright destroyed until there was the last piece in the body. Also, I remember Dumbledore implying that there was some form of punishment for the creation of Horcruxes. In Limbo, he explains to Harry that the Small Voldermort (Small-devort) was Normal Voldermorts soul sent there to die - or at least a part of it. This always made me think that there some sort of Higher Power in the HP universe. And that It judged Voldermort guilty for the Crime of Creating Horcruxes since their very nature is against the laws nature. And I thought that rotting in Limbo for eternity was Voldermorts punishment. No life as a ghost; no peace in death.

Harry was in the kitchen making oatmeal cookies for Ginny to give her something, because she had done so much for him. His round glasses were sliding down his nose as he watched the cookies bake in the oven, the warm smell of oatmeal filling the kitchen. _I hope Ginny likes these, It's hard to do things like this when I'm so busy at the Ministry with Ron_ Harry thought. Then Harry felt what he thought was a slight chill in the air, he looked at the window but it was closed. Puzzled, Harry just thought he was imagining it, but the chill only grew stronger, Harry could see his breath. He jumped up, grabbed his wand from the counter and looked around. "Who's there?" he yelled. Harry definitely didn't expect what he would see, a pale, transparent, Voldemort was in Harry's living room that was adjacent to the kitchen. "Harry Potter," Voldemort said icily. "Tom?! I killed you!" Harry shrieked, he was aghast that Voldemort was a ghost, he had to be dreaming, he had fallen asleep cooking the cookies, anything but this! "Yeah, but wizards can become ghosts soooo..." Voldemort said. "Are you making cookies? Oatmeal from the looks of it, wait, you didn't...you...you...YOU PUT RAISINS IN THE COOKIES!!!" Voldemort roared. "Yeah, so, you can't do anything to stop me Tom," Harry said. Voldemort glared at Harry and then floated up through the ceiling. _Great, just great, I'm gonna have to tell everyone Tom's a ghost now_ he thought. *beep, beep, beep* The timer for the cookies went off, Harry ran to the oven, opened it, used his wand to float the tray of cookies on the counter to cool properly while he sat down to think. Later...... "Harry, those cookies were delicious! Thank you for making them!" Ginny said as she and Harry climbed into bed. "Well don't expect it to happen more often, I'm swamped at the Ministry, I could hardly take today off." His glasses smashed against his face as he was taking them off, Ginny had hit him with a pillow. "Ginny....today was already stressful enough." he whined putting his glasses on his bedstand. "It had better been, I'm not worth nothing you know." Ginny replied. "Hey, you're not worth nothing, but I'm exhausted so can I go to sleep, please?" Harry asked. "Okay," Ginny said smiling. Harry was having the weirdest dream, it was absolutely freezing even though he was in the Sahara desert with the sun beating down on him. Then suddenly a band was playing? Harry was jostled awake by Ginny all of a sudden, to discover to his horror, Voldemort was in his bedroom and playing all the instruments of a band. (Y'know the cartoon musical instruments that are a harmonica, a trombone, and bagpipes, stuff like that made to be played by one person at the same time? It was one of those.) "Voldemort's a ghost!" Ginny shrieked. "I'm starting to regret my life choices." Harry said exhausted, he looked at the clock, it was 3:00 am. Your Welcome!

[@KitOfTheWeirdWoods]

I've always wondered what happens to victims of the dementors' kiss. If their bodies are still alive, where are they? Are they just left to wander around, or are they kept somewhere by the ministry? Are they taken care of so they stay alive, or left to slowly die as their bodies stop functioning? When the ministry sentences someone to the dementors kiss, do they then look after the person for the rest of their 'life', or do they then let them die as well. Either way seems like a pretty odd sentence. Where is Barty Crouch jr?

[@animeovr9000]

I'm pretty sure would they die rather quickly. I've read a fan story that talked about it rather well. Without the soul the body still does it's "automatic" functions like breathing, heart beating, and digesting food. However the body would be unable to do "voluntary" acts like eating and drinking. So after a shot time the body would shut down and die due to lack of food and water.

[@ugolomb]

They might be physically capable of eating, but nothing would *motivate* them to eat. So they'd probably die of starvation pretty quickly. I mean, it's like a real person in a coma, or a vegetative state: these people only survive if they're put on life support. I don't suppose the Ministry takes the trouble of placing those sentenced to The Kiss on life support at St Mungo's. Maybe they get taken back to Azkaban and buried there when they die, shortly afterwards.

[@torvaldo2275]

It sounds like the dementors kiss In the wizarding world is the equivalent of the death sentence in our world; that one's body dies and the soul is snatched and resides in an unknown place, as they are essentially indestructible. The same deal that takes place in our world takes place in the wizarding world?

[@wookieninja8794]

I'm pretty sure that in Azkaban it's said that when the soul is eaten by a dementor the body lives on and then becomes a dementor itself. I could be wrong but I think it was when Lupin was telling Harry about them. May want to reread the book.

This can be my one good deed for the century. *After closing and locking the wardrobe doors he summons Myrtle over.* Voldy: Your foolhardy obsession is over in the wardrobe. Waiting for you.

I always got the impression that ghosts souls have actually moved on seeing as that a ghost is merely an imprint of a "departed" soul. It seems like a ghost is just like a painting of a headmaster at Hogwarts. Something that represents a dead person but not really them.

[@danielsolomon3794]

But that is not how it works in Harry Potter lure. It is clearly explained that the choice of becoming a ghost is to never be able to move on. I actually really like the theory that the veil in the depratement of misteries is something the unspeakables are working on to help ghosts cross the barrier into the land of the dead

[@Lowebotz]

@@danielsolomon3794 yes my friend but what I'm suggesting is that a ghost is not the soul at all but a copy left on the earth forever.

[@andreab380]

Ghosts seem to me to have a little more agency than paintings. Paintings, including Dumbledores, stick to their old selves and roles. Ghosts can sometime choose to stray from that, like the Grey Lady sharing her secret, or to make actual choices, like Myrtle helping Harry over Cedric.

[@hamzs_hm]

Heres a theory of mine: I think Voldemort couldn't come back as when he made his 7 Horcruxes all of his soul is already gone. I think that's why he couldn't make more than 7 as 7 is the largest magical number. therefore when all Horcruxes were destroyed his entire soul was already gone, so he couldn't come back. I think that's because when a ghost comes back it's not their body, but their soul and Voldemort wouldn't have a soul as it was destroyed through his Horcruxes. and that is why I think Voldemort couldn't come back.
