Another (distant) possibility: Bollock was actually not a dark wizard, but one who sought to destroy them. He put detailed information on the darkest most depraved spells and rituals into one book so that those fighting against such forces could recognize what they're up against. I say this because if he was somebody who had created his own horcrux, then he wouldn't have put in information on how to destroy them and even how to repair the soul.

You should do a theory about Herpo the Foul potentially still being alive. Dude was known as someone who created a horcrux so how do we know that he’s not still out there.

@Timberwolf69Ай бұрын
If he was so reclusive, how did he find someone to revive him proper after death? The horcrux-immortality isn't even half as good as the immortality you can get with a philosopher's stone... You always have to rely on others to regain a body that enables you to use your full power. I guess that's why we don't hear much about the use of horcruxes as those who tried it often failed due to lack of support. And I guess a horcrux wouldn't stop you from dying of age.
@jonaske8049Ай бұрын
@@Timberwolf69 Disagree. You cant die if you have an horcrux, thats the whole point of it. You dont need to rely on anyone else. In Voldemords case he also didnt die, but in a wildly unlikely event where the killing course got reflected by an even more powerful ancient protection spell and reflected onto voldemord ripping his soul apart and creating another horcrux in harry instead of the sword of griffindor as he originally planned. A regular avada kedavra would not kill a horcrux user, nor shatter his soul in a way that needs external help. Dying of old age also is not a thing, since his body might get older and older but his soul is stored in an object that wont usually die of "old age" and is protected from regular spells or a regular fire etc. Especially if you have more than one. Lastly there might even be the possibility to create a new horcrux in another human (like probably nagini or harry) and even taking over their body and just do that every 50 years or so.

I think while it could be entirely possible that instead of being the same person, they couldjust as easily have been Master & Apprentice. It would explain not only why we know so little about Herpo, but also where Owle got his first hand experience from. People forget that there are MANY occurrences throughout history where the only things we know about various philosophers from history is through the workings of their students (Socrates & Plato being a fine example, not to forget Diogenes the Cynic, Archimedes of Syracuse or even Jesus of Nazerath). Given that Herpo the Foul was suggested to be from roughly the same time period (Ancient Greece), it's entirely possible for things to go such a route.
@thunderstudentАй бұрын
It is a possibility. Also Rowling has been known to borrow from other media. A "Master/Apprentice" relationship between Herpt and Bullock like Darth Plagues and Darth Sidious would make sense. A dark lord sharing their secrets with an apprentice to continue the lineage.
@KCatRodeoАй бұрын
I think this makes sense. How else could he know that regret could put the soul back together, with that process being fatal at times? There’s no way he could know that without seeing it or knowing someone who did. I definitely think he’s an apprentice or relative of the original creator.
@halaynaostler290828 күн бұрын
The only problem with this is that Herpo the Foul is stated to live during the Ancient Greek period, long before books were actually being written, since all information was recorded via scrolls and other mehtods of writing. Herpo HAD to be the first. If you want to keeo the theory though, you could say Herpo was still alive and changed his name so as to avoid suspicions and at some point went by Owle Bullock, so Owle Bullock is still the creator.

I think Herpo was the first, and should be accredited as the first. Remember Back in Herpos time, Dark Magic was incredibly hush hush. Dark Wizards did not want to be discovered. and really in order to be come a Dark Wizard you needed someone to teach it to you, or make spells yourself. I think Herpo had an apprentice, and after Herpo achieved the horcrux, and his Apprentice became a power dark wizard of themselves, that apprentice shared that knowledge with his, passing that secret knowledge down a very select group of Dark Wizards, mind you the biggest threat to Dark Wizards were other Dark Wizards, knowledge on how to make a Horcrux would have been an incredible advantage. Now I think Owle hunted down other Dark Wizards and stole their secrets, and then wrote them in a book to pass it down. After all those who know how to make a Horcrux at that time would not be too keen on sharing how to destroy them. this is something that honestly Herpo and their apprentice would be the only ones to know. So to recap, I don't think Owle was not present during the creation of the horcrux, I think he either stole the knowledge from Herpo or their Apprentice.
@LordWyattАй бұрын

i think there is one flaw mayor flaw in you argument, the language of the book. Harpo the fowl is said to have lived during the ancient greec period this is long before the english language was even considerd so unless the book was writhen in ancient runes (that granger did study) i dont think the writher of the book could have been alive before harpo unless the book had been translated by some wizard at a later time (a posibility but with the contest this would have needed to be a dark wizard to if not i cant see someone doing it unless some colposion type magic forcing a person thats able to translate it to do it aigenst their will. what i think might be a possibility is that some wizard in the medival age or somewhat earlier might have found Harpos notes and used that to writh the book and also dwellled into the dark arts from the scrolls etc harpo had done. another possibility is a teory that harpo is still around in some way and he later in his years maybe in middivel age or something like that wroth the book himself using the psudonim of the author in question. there is teorys that the necklace we see in book 2 and 6 is one of his horcruxes because of the powerfull curses that is put on it.

Herpo the Foul would be the creator, and inventor in technical terms. Bullock would have been more of a 'holder' as there was likely tales (as well as other, older, texts which referred to Horcrux creation). Ancient Greece could have been anywhere from 1200 BC to 800 BC. Some say it is only the Archaic period (700-480 BC), but I'd argue the Dark Ages of Greece count as that is where many legends would have been born.
