Spoilers: Horcrux

Hi! Long time no post, but I've read and re-read books 5 and six and I kinda came up with a theory for the next installment in our favorite set.
Spoiler Warning
If you have not finished book 6 and do not want to be spoiled, please turn away now!







Anyways, I was wondering, what if Harry is one of the Horcruxes?
You know, like in the prophecy, he will be marked as an equal, and neither can live while the other survives.
This could mean that Harry will also have to die. Since we know that in order to split your soul to create a Horcrux, you must commit a murder, then maybe Voldemort used Lily Potters murder to turn Harry into a Horcrux?
I know it's kinda out there, but this idea has really been bugging me.
What do you guys think?
 
You'd be surprised by how many people I've heard voicing this theory. But the way I see it, there's just one big flaw - Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow specifically to kill Harry. And there wouldn't have been a lot of point putting a piece of his soul into Harry, only to destroy that part of his soul 5 seconds later with an Avada Kedavra. ;)
 
yeah, that is a pretty big hole in the theory, but maybe he put the Horcrux in Harry after he realized he couldn't kill him? but then again he might not have had enough power to do that. Or the horcrux could be in the house in Godrics Hollow, and since Harry will be going there in the next book . . . ?
 
The way I see it, as soon as the curse rebounded, that was it, Voldemort was gone. But I do like the idea of one of the Horcruxes being something in the old house at Godric's Hollow. :)
 
Yeah, because Harry may live there in the next book, and after he tracks down the other Horcruxes he could be really frustrated trying to find the last one, and eventually he realizes that it's been there all along.

I kinda hope that doesn't happen tho, I'd hate to see one of us acurately predict what will happen, because I much prefer a surprise, but speculation is always fun anyway!:D
 
If there is a Horcrux in Harry (and this is the first time I've heard that theory - but we did discuss them being inexticably linked in some way last year) then how can harry ever kill Voldemort?

All the Horcrux's need to be anihilated before Voldemort himself can be tackled, and to destroy the Horcrux in Harry first would leave Voldemort the victor.

Please explain how it can work a different way? :confused:
 
I've read a theory that it's not Harry himself that is the Horcrux but his scar. I'm not sure about this myself. If it is true, Dumbledore can't have known because he said he wouldnt get rid of the scar even if he could. Harry will have to find a way of removing the scar which dumbledore said can't be done.

Like I said, I'm not sure about this theory.
 
What are the remaining horcruxes. Mine would be (I'll just put up all of them so that I don't get confussed.
  1. Slytherins ring (destroyed)
  2. The diary (destroyed)
  3. Slytherins locket (destroyed)
  4. Hufflepuff's cup
  5. Something of Ravenclaw's
  6. Voldemorts snake
  7. Voldie himself.
The is nothing there of Griffindors because the only known things left are the Sorting Hat and the Sword.
 
Yep, I reckon it's HP too - specifically the scar.
Voldemort has to kill to create a Horcrux and in that case it was Potter's parents. It would explain how Rowling ends the series - Potter sacrificing himself to ensure Voldemort dies.

hmm....I've been thinking about that, and I've got this crazy theory that ole Potter himself is one of the horcruxes. If you think about it, it explains a lot, why HP has a bit of Voldie's powers, etc. I mean, they're not really sure on the exact items in the 'Horcrux list', anyway.

I've heard alot of people say that Harry is a horcrux but presonally I dont think so. When Avarda Kedavra or whatever it is was reversed THAT took some of Voldie's powers and put them into Harry. Thats what I think anyway.

I have heard that his scar could be a horcrux but I dont think that either. With the killing thing Voldie is killing himself and presumably does it after a significant one that he has just done. So I think he chooses to kill before he makes a horcrux.

Harry will die at the end I think.
 
I dont think that Harry will be a horcrux mainly for the reason that it would be...wierd. Think about it, Voldermort is killing someone, this spell fatally rebounds on him and takes all his powers, i would be more interested in the loss of powers and the shear agony than making the best out of a moment. I also think that Voldermort would have some control over Harry if he was a Horcrux. he does afterall have control over Nagini.

We also dont know that the locket is destroyed. I think that Regulas Black had it then it is still in the Black household. It is mentioned somewhere in the books when they are clearing out the house that there was a large locket.

guessed Regulus Black, too. Besides, who else fits 'R.A.B.'?
 
Yeah, i read some information on it somewhere too. Its like (stab in the dark with the country) Polish version of the book says (again stab in the dark) RAZ and sirius' black in that book is sirius Z***. All clues point towards him.

:-D

And hence this could turn into a thread trying to figure out the ID of RAB. It could be Regulus and I think it could be.

A thing about the scar being a horcrux. Voldie didnt actually mean to give Harry a scar but to kill him.

Interesting theory... I have to say that I have thought the scar was one of the Horcruxes from the end of the last book.

Good point, but Voldemort is shown to be an extremely devious character and how do we know what actually did happen the night that Potter's parent's died? The only accounts we have of that night are what others have been saying. Who were the actual witnesses of the event? Voldemort and Harry are the only living witnesss - Harry was too young to remember properly and Voldemort could very easily be telling porky-pies about how the deaths actually happened. I wouldn't put it past him.

I think you are forgeting something. In GOF when Harry and Voldemort are fighting and then the departed spirits if you will come out of the end of Voldemort's wand. There is where the truth is about him killing James and Lilly Potter.

You have to remember that when Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow that night he went to kill Harry no to give him a scar and get almost killed himself. know He went there to kill Harry and make a horcrux afterwards. I don't know what he had there to make into a horcrux but it wasnt a scar on Harry's dead body because the Killing Curse doesnt leave a mark and two why would you want to make a horcrux out of a dead body. To easily destroyed.

I don't think Neville is a horcrux but I would like it if he jumped out of nowhere and killed Voldie in the end.
 
Out of the sorting hat, shouted tequila and killed Voldermort with a rubber chicken?
