Why Voldemort Never Made a Gryffindor Horcrux

[@tommarvoloriddle5056]

Harry Potter was the actual Gryffindor Horcrux.

[@a2isha]

Yes because maybe if harry had killed him first he could still come back with Harry's horcrux

[@naeff002]

He just couldn’t get to those items, the sword only presents himself to a true Gryffindor.The sword wasn’t a “horcrux killer” before Harry killed the basilisk.

[@thebigounce391]

Naeff Cold Blooded for real, both items were in Dumbledore’s possession, I thought this was obvious lmfao

[@nocap8881]

Exactly

[@malaanandakumar2906]

No but the sword was in dumbledore's office

[@gummibarmassacker2061]

I guess that is why he tried to get a teacher in Hogwarts. The headmaster's office where both reliques were stored just allowed enterce with the headmaster's agreement. Maybe tom had the plan to get headmaster him self, or to manipulate the headmaster after Dombeldor.

[@kayots]

that’s a really good theory tbh

[@Eric_1991]

I don’t think it would “help” a Gryffindor. It’s still a piece of his soul. If by whatever reason they have a Gryffindor relic, it would likely possess them as Riddle did with Ginny Weasley

[@kayots]

It’s really a question of who’s magic is stronger, we don’t know enough to say that it’d even serve as a host for Voldemort’s soul. It’s charmed to take in whatever makes it stronger and if anything that could mean it’ll absorb all of his power anyways.

Correction: the Sword of Gryffindor was lost for centuries prior to Harry drawing the Sword, at the end of his second year, out of the Sorting Hat (According to the books). Additionally (according to the films) it disappeared when not around someone worthy, and a 'True Gryffindor'. Thus the Sword was beyond Tom/Voldemort's reach.

[@Sylinnilys]

Also, the sword wasn't in the Lestrange Vault, like he said, that was the Cup. According to the movies too, the sword was in the hat, till Harry pulled it out.

[@will3ism]

@@Sylinnilys there was a copy of the sword in the vault. It wasn't the real sword but a wizard made copy. Very good but to a goblin not good enough.

[@HoiaPolloia]

@@will3ism After Harry drew the sword out of the hat, the sword was in the headmaster's office. Snape, took the real sword and had a copy made which was kept in the Lestrange vault.

[@NorryaParsa]

Kind of like.... Oh, maybe... .... .... Excaliber!!😏😏😏 Only the worthy can claim it!!!

[@Srinidhi00726]

Then, how come Dumbledore was able to store the Sword behind his portrait.. and Snape, a Slytherin loyalist, take that sword and keep it in the Lake.

[@NorryaParsa]

My theory: Since Tom was the descendant of Salazaar Slytherin, he most likely considered Godric Gryffindor an adversary because of their feud. It would be an act of disloyalty to Slytherin.

[@albino5995]

Norrya Parsa I would have thought he would see it as getting one over on Griffindor, to desecrate a personal magical artefact of his would be the ultimate insult.

[@hotpinkminisk1rts]

but slytherins hated hufflepuff as well and he still used the cup

[@NorryaParsa]

@@albino5995 I was thinking that too but Tom's and Salazaar's pride would want to succeed without any involvement from Gryffindor. Kind of like a "I don't need you!" attitude.

[@NorryaParsa]

@@hotpinkminisk1rts I think the feud was centered with Godric and Salazaar. When Rowena and Helena sided with Godric, he chose to make them pay.

[@mr.m4297]

I doubt that he only thought of himself he was very narcissistic about well everything. Basically he hated the pure bloods just as much considering he was half blooded like Harry was. He didn't care about slytherin just what they could do for him he meant to create his own way like only a psychopath could. Otherwise he would've teamed up with Grindlewald but instead chose to kill him instead of releasing him well in the books that is. Grindlewald's knowledge would've proven invaluable to him and anyone opposing him even Dumbledore would've went to him if he didn't have the Elder wand he would've had no choice.

[@jenlfpotter3870]

[@BjornV1994]

I always thought it was because he never got his hands on them. The Sorting Hat was always in the office of the Headmaster/mistress and he couldn't just steal it without anybody noticing and seeing how this was never clear from the novels, but was the location of the blade known before Harry summoned it? I always believed that the blade had been lost for centuries as nobody knew how to summon it and seeing how it only could be summoned by a true Gryffindor, Voldemort couldn't summon it himself.

[@martykitson3442]

the first time we see the sword in in the chamber of secrets i always assumed that as dumbledore was a gryfindor it was in his office, faux had to get it from somewhere, for a fact voldemort could not have summoned it but i cant believe no gryfindore had needed it in nerly 1000 years

[@thelonelyfan]

@@martykitson3442 Faux didn't bring harry the hat And the sword. It brought the Hat then the sword materialized from the hat and harry pulled it out. The sword appears because it is enchanted to present itself to a Worthy Gryffindor in need. Dumbledore explains it in book 2.

[@heetlakhani4277]

Voldemort already had it in Bellatrixs' vault

[@thelonelyfan]

@@heetlakhani4277 sword didn't make it to the vault until Ginny tried to steal it from Snape. Also that sword was a fake. They explain it in book 7.

[@southernstylegaming8580]

I believe the killings of Fabian & Gidian Prewitt was an attempt to manufacture a situation where They would summon the sword, being brave Gryffindors in a time of need. From there, Voldemort would have taken the sword from them, and then made his final horcrux with Harry's death. However, his body was destroyed by the rebounded killing curse, and the sword disappeared once again. This theory is courtesy of Jonathan Carlin of Super Carlin Bros, and it's one of their best, imo.

[@davidalexander3320]

To me there are only 2 options Option A. They were too protected and he couldn't get either of them. Option B. He did get the sword and he had it with him when he went to kill harry intending to use Harry's murder to make the horcrux. When the spell rebounded but before anyone else got there the sword disappeared and went back to the hat

[@debbiekerr3989]

That's a good explanation of why Voldemort wasn't able to use the sword.

[@PhilBagels]

Yeah, he might have had the sword at any time, to make it into a horcrux, only to have it disappear to go to a Gryffindor in need. He couldn't hang onto it long enough to make it into a horcrux. Regardless of whether he knew what it did, or why it would disappear. And hat was obviously way too public.

[@davidalexander3320]

The reason I think he probably had it the night he went to kill Harry is that Dumbledore mentioned that Voldemort would use particularly significant murders to create horcruxes. While that was not always true as some of the murders were really insignificant people like an Albanian peasant and a muggle tramp. But who would be a more significant murder than the chosen one of the prophecy? At the very least I think he intended to use that murder to create some horcrux even if it wasn't the sword. I think one reason why Harry became an unintentional horcrux in the first place is because Voldemort had probably already done some of the preliminary magic required to create one. Whatever that is as its never been explained. It only makes sense that the sword would have been his intended target as he was also doing the murder in Godric Gryffindors home town which is where the Potters lived.

[@JalebJay]

I was told B is the exact reason why. (that or he was never able to obtain it)

[@brianmccann666]

I believe he wanted to or tried to... But things stood in his way.

[@albino5995]

Brian Mccann yeah, I doubt the sword or the hat could go missing without anybody noticing. Plus the other 3 founders items hadn’t been seen in years. It would be interesting if he did manage to use the sword or hat, because would he put them back or hide them? The sword and the hat are connected so you couldn’t really hide the sword with the hat still around so you would have to take both.

[@gidzmobug2323]

@@albino5995 The Hat was used every year, when the new students come in. It would have been noticed if it had been tampered with. As to the Sword, I believe Dumbledore had said that only a true Gryffindor could use it (book #2). Harry would not have been able to use it, I think, had Voldemort used the Sword as a Horcrux.

[@Muggleborn72]

He did intend to. In the Deathly Hallows Harry thinks to himself that Voldemort indeed wanted the sword of Gryffindor to complete his “collection “ from the four houses. However, when Dumbledore denied him the DOD teaching position, this made it impossible for Voldemort to get the sword. He did, however, use that same occasion of meeting with Dumbledore to hide the diadem of Ravenclaw in the room of requirement.

[@randomweirdo7501]

why would he? he hated Gryffindor's

[@Muggleborn72]

Peace& Hope but he always considered Hogwarts his home and according to Dumbledore, he believed that Voldemort had every intention of using a Gryffindor artifact but that plan was thwarted when Dumbledore refused him the DOD teaching job.

Do we know that the sword was on display in the Headmasters office BEFORE Harry pulled it out of the sorting hat?

That's why Voldemort resented so much being in an orphanage, he always had a sense of importance, but he also looked to give a sense of value to his self-importance. So he as a child collected prizes from the children he bullied into submission because he considered it trophies for his victories, a character attribute he carried it on for the rest of his life.

[@greglasseigne9493]

Voldemort definitely did not want 7 horcruxes as his goal was a 7 part soul since 7 was the most powerfully magical number. 7 horcruxes would have meant he'd end up with an 8 part soul which is what he ended up with any way since Harry was an accidental horcrux.

Don't forget that the sword is enchanted to accept 'only that which makes it stronger.' There's an argument to be made that the rules governing that magical process would just reject a Horcrux ritual outright, since Gryffindor and Slytherin had vastly different definitions of what constitutes strength.

[@EmilyCheetham]

My opinion was the pat the sword would not show itself or allow itself to be used as a horcrux. If he did manage to get hold of it it may have disappeared to prevent itself being used. Tom was not worthy of the sword. As for the hat with it being a sentient being I do not think he could have made it into a horcrux, or not without it telling someone.

[@divyanshugoel1943]

Supercarlin brothers have an excellent theory about this: They proposed that Voldemort had obtained the sword by several means, went to godric's hollow with the intention to kill Harry and convert the sword into a horcrux. Instead, Lily's sacrifice for Harry, led to rebounding of voldemort's killing curse, and his body was destroyed. Hence, the sword then vanished, next getting popped up in chamber of secrets.

[@Muggleborn72]

It doesn’t state anywhere in the books that the sword was missing until it came to Harry in the COS...Dumbledore simply states “that it would take a true Gryffindor to pull that out of the hat” Dumbledore knew where the sword was at all times. The only time the sword was mentioned as missing is when Snape hid the real one and put the fake in the Lestranges vault, under Dumbledores orders (The Deathly Hallows 1). In the COS Tom Riddle even jokes that “the only thing Dumbledore sent his hero was a song bird and an old hat” Dumbledore knew the sword was in the hat. One would be made to think that before the COS the sword hung in Dumbledores office where it stayed, along with the sorting hat and which is where the real one remained hidden(just behind Dumbledores portrait) once Snape became headmaster.

Muggleborn72 when Harry first visits the headmaster’s office, he observed what was in the room. An untarnished silver sword with huge rubies in it might have stood out a little. The death and rebirth of Fawkes might’ve been a distraction, being immediately in front of the sword (assuming everything in the headmaster’s office stays in its place), but it’d be a little unmindful of Harry not to remember it as “Dumbledore’s” sword when he pulls it out of the hat. Even more so, after revisiting that very same office and not recalling a sword that looked just like it someplace there.

Couldn’t get his filthy hands on a gryffindor artefact, eh?

[@COmtnLady]

First, I love the thought and research you put into these. Keep up the good work! Thank you. Then - 2 comments ~ 1. The Hat would have to have had some strong protective Spells embedded in it, otherwise it could be hexed into selecting some "prime" student into whatever House the hexing wizard wanted. (What would have happened if Fred & George want to play a trick on Ron and had him sorted into Hufflepuff? Or someone, perhaps a Death Eater still angry with his parents, had had Neville sorted into Slytherin? Yikes.) There'd also be the possibility of some student (or a family member * cough*Lucius*cough*) trying to destroy it if they were dissatisfied with an outcome, or had some nefarious plot in mind. 2. The Sword was hidden until Harry, "a true Gryffindor", needed it in The Chamber. Even if TMR,Jr could have gotten hold of it somehow, which is a pretty big IF, just by its nature / purpose, it would also have to have strong protective Spells and Wards. Lily put an impressive protection on Baby Harry and look how that turned out for poor old Tom. .

I love this channel it teaches you things about harry potter films and books that you didn't know🇮🇪

[@simonopps]

Well the answer is as simple as he just didn't have access to the hat or the sword. Period. 😅 With both being in Dumbledore's office, that should be clear. Edit: When he made horcruxes, that is. I don't think he wanted to create a horcrux after Dumbledore was dead, because his biggest threat was not existent anymore

[@davidcov90]

My theory is Tom just couldn’t get hold of one without someone noticing

[@em7lycan]

Because these two were way too protected by Dumbledore since the day Dumbledore suspected he's into making horcruxes. He was only able to obtain the "sword" and the hat after Dumbledore is gone in DH by which time he already completed all his horcruxes. He checked and tried to steal either of these two on the day he asked Dumbledore the job but realized it was impossible so he just resorted of hiding the diadem in Room of Requirements instead.

[@benbutton4193]

Tom had already became fond of Nagini prior to the incident in Godrics Hollow. Harry's death would have made Nagini his 6th and final horcrux. The 7th part of his soul would be inside his own body. Outside of the reasons you gave for him not wanting to use Godrics possessions was the fact that both were not technically lost like the other 3 artifacts. It was a lot of luck that he found them because they'd all been missing for centuries. Of course, the readers are aware Helgas cup was never truly lost but just kept hidden. No one knew the Gaunts had the ring either. Point being though, discretion was crucial and the sword and hat were publicly available. He'd have wanted the sword regardless as it's a part of Hogwarts history but he was smart enough not to use it as a horcrux.

[@zhihanlim3500]

Wherea the evidence Voldemort met nagini already pre godric hollow? We do know nagini eventually got trapped in a snake body but we dont know yet how she met tom

[@benbutton4193]

@@zhihanlim3500 Albus mentions in part 6 that Tom had grown fond of Nagini before Godrics hollow. Granted, this could be a mistake made in the films but he does say he knew of the snake before Tom tried killing Harry. He couldn't use the sword because it moves itself. So what else would he have used? It's worth noting that if he had planned on using something else, why didn't he end up using it once he got his strength back? The answer to me seems clear. He did use what he intended, which was Nagini. Once Tom became less then a ghost, he attempted to take control over other animals but once he attempted it,the shock would kill the animal hosting Toms soul. He tried many times but failed. It wasn't until he found Nagini again that he was able to fully possess her and he could do that because she was human. Nagini was special to him because of her connection with snakes. She was a representation of Slytherin because she was also a parsel mouth. We could say that Tom didn't actually plan on making a horcrux that night but it wouldn't make sense because the only reason Toms soul ripped in half that night was because he was in the process of performing horcrux magic with the avada curse, which is why part of his soul latched onto Harry while the other part fled in fear and pain. However, it does seem clear that Nagini wasn't actually with Tom that night so i'm not 100 percent sure how he'd have used her. There is a chance he had her waiting near by though, didn't want to risk James potentially killing her.

Chirag Desai no dumboldore told tom he was a wizard since as harry his parents got killed when he was younger and became a orphan and he knew he was magical because if you watched half blood prince he said he can train animals without training them he can make things move without moving them and he can make people suffer and because tom feared Godric thank you for reading xd

[@jesterskully563]

I think being the heir of Slytherin, he saw Godric as his natural enemy and didn’t want anything to do with him

OMG imagine if the sorting hat was a horcrux, we saw how the locket was effecting Ron, putting that hat on these kids they'd all go mental. Speaking of which since Harry's a horcrux how come he wasn't an effect of it? Maybe another video idea, the influences of the horcux's the ring was basically a Cancer, the locket made u angry ect

Interesting topic choice Dean you always have something to bring me back here even years after reading the books ...

[@MessyJoeHesse]

He simply couldn't find a gryffindor relic other than the hat which was in Dumbledore's office.

[@PatrickCervantez]

My thought is that since the Sword of Gryffindor was made with goblin magic, Voldemort might've been hesitant to turn it into a horcrux because mixing different forms of magic was thought to be incredibly dangerous. And even with Voldemort's own extensive knowledge of magic, he might've seen it as too big of a risk even for him to take. But he also could've thought he would be tainting/diluting his own magic by combining it with an artifact of goblin origin, seeing as how goblins are seen as inferior to witches and wizards.

[@Immgfxfdbfsxvbb]

If Harry is a horcrux, then the basilisk venom would have destroyed the horcrux inside Harry?

[@AnudeepAare]

Fawkes saved him from death

[@stewdaven28]

The housing of the horcrux has to be destroyed in order to kill the horcrux itself. This means in the case of a living horcrux, the living thing must be killed. As Fawkes saved him from death with the phoenix tears in the wound from the basilisk fang, it prevented Harry from dying, and therefore preventing the destruction of the horcrux.

[@bellatrixlestrange1895]

It's because the prophecy says that either must die at the hand of the other so voldy had to kill the horcrux inside of him

[@Immgfxfdbfsxvbb]

Thanks

[@GuineaPigDan]

Rowling gave a funny reason why the Sorting Hat would be a bad choice for a horcrux on her website. Horcruxes don’t draw attention to themselves singing songs in front of giant crowds of people, lol.

[@Hamantha]

I would’ve fully expected the sorting hat be a horcrux

[@coalopalatticus6964]

Now I can't remember if it was one of your vids where I heard this, but I heard Voldemort had the sword the night he killed Lily and James, and he was going to kill Harry to make it a Horcrux. I can't remember all the details, or where I heard that, so I could be wrong.

Voldemort specifically stated that he wanted to create seven ....even went as far as admitting he would have to murder seven people in order to do so. He never intended for the piece left in him to be considered one of the seven. That would defeat the entire purpose of a horcrux.

1) the hat can Talk and is widely used. It can say "Hey bro I'm possessed". 2) The sword absorbs. Putting a piece of ur soul into it wont make it a horcrux itll just make it a stronger sword. It's better and smarter to lock it up rather than to continue powering it up only to be teleported to a gryffindor. Out of sight out of mind. In truth that worked because no one considered the Sword until the late game.

[@billysmith5409]

I agree with the points you made in the video both Tom’s destine for Gryffindor as a person and the fact that neither of the two relics are suited to being vessels of such Dark Magic.
