Harry Potter Book 7 [SPOILERS-ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK!]

[Bond]

Which one? His original one or the elder wand?

Pfft, I don't know. I just remember something about his wand being similar to Voldemort's for some reason.

Brother wands..both made from the same Phoenix. Fawkes I believe.

So quick question. The night Voldemort failed to kill baby Harry an 8th piece of his soul attached to Harry, but what exactly happened with the other piece. The one that possessed Quirrel. Why wasn't at least one piece of soul destroyed by the backfired AK?

Because Avada Kedavra's don't destroy souls they just kill people. The part that possessed Quirrel was his actual normal soul from before he tried to kill Harry, sans the horcrux piece that went into Harry. It was that soul that later went into his new body made in the 4th book.

that makes sense. body destroyed but his soul just wandered around a bit.

I believe it was the 7th piece of his soul aka horcrux.

The 7 horcruxes were Marvolo's ring, Ravenclaw's diadem, Hufflepuff's cup, Tom's diary, the locket, Nagini, and the part in Harry. And as someone mentioned, the one inside Quirrel was his actual soul...he was surviving from Quirrel's body.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

so 7 horcruxes + 1 in his body = 8 pieces of soul

.

no, that fragment of soul blasted apart from the whole because his soul was very inestable and he killed (Lily in this case).

 

[chaseter]

^There were 7 horcruxes and the last remaining part of his soul inside his body which as Poetic Chaos said equals 8 total. That is why Riddle asked Sughorn about the horcruxes and if creating 7 would be better since it is a highly magical number. I listed all 7 and I do believe Voldemort knew that Harry was indeed a horcrux and had part of his soul inside of him which would explain the connection between the two. Riddle's soul was already so damaged from creating other horcruxes, that when Lily Potter's protection stopped his killing curse, his soul split again and into the boy that he tried to kill.

How would he know? Like Dumbledore said, Harry was the Horcrux he never meant to make. Dumbledore did not reveal to Harry he was a Horcrux till the end for the simple fact that Voldemort could reach into Harry's mind and know about it.

"And his knowledge remained woefully incomplete, Harry!"

 

[Darkly Dexter]

yes, he didn't know.

 

[Darkly Dexter]

Does anybody knows what's happening with Mugglenet.com? It has the same cover since monday.

Voldemort did not intend to put a piece of his soul into something so fragile as a human body that could possibly die etc...etc...But Voldemort had to have known there was a reason behind him and Harry sharing thoughts, emotions, feelings, etc...Dumbledore did not reveal that Harry was a horcrux until he was of proper age and for the simple fact that sending a child to its death would be horrible. If Dumbledore knew that Harry was a horcrux, Voldemort must have known he left a little piece of himself in Harry and that would be the reason behind all of their connections. Voldemort knowingly created 7 horcurxes because of the number 7 being magical. If he did not know about Harry, he would have created 8. The quote you gave is just mentioning the fact that Voldemort couldn't understand Lily's protection, love and sacrifice, and all that jazz.

 

[Majik1387]

Voldemort knew of the connection with Harry, but he never knew it to be from a horcrux.

 

[chaseter]

Voldemort knew of the connection with Harry, but he never knew it to be from a horcrux.

Then why did he not create another horcrux to achieve number 7 if he did not know about Harry? Dumbledore mentioned that creating one horcrux would be painful but after time, the creator would not feel anything because of how many times his soul was split. He wouldn't feel his soul tearing apart and he wouldn't feel anything if one was destroyed. Somebody would have to be the wiser to know that a boy he tried to kill now shares his thoughts, emotions, and feelings for some odd reason.

Not really. He doesn't value such trivial things. Besides, Dumbledore already confirmed he didn't know in the King's Cross chapter.

Voldemort knowingly created 7 horcurxes because of the number 7 being magical. If he did not know about Harry, he would have created 8.

Wrong. His intention was to create a seven part soul, not a seven Horcruxes. 6 Horcruxes + one residing in his body= 7.

The quote you gave is just mentioning the fact that Voldemort couldn't understand Lily's protection, love and sacrifice, and all that jazz.

No, read the book again.

Meh, don't have the time or patience. I could have sworn that he asked Slughorn about creating 7 horcurxes...I don't want to look it up either.

 

[Majik1387]

Then why did he not create another horcrux to achieve number 7 if he did not know about Harry?

Maybe he was comfortable with 6. Maybe he was going to after killing the Potters and never got a chance. We'll never know unless JK RAowling has an answer.

Dumbledore mentioned that creating one horcrux would be painful but after time, the creator would not feel anything because of how many times his soul was split. He wouldn't feel his soul tearing apart and he wouldn't feel anything if one was destroyed.

He maybe thought it was something with the scar.

he wanted 7 pieces because it was the most powerful magical number- another layer of protection.He suceeded until harry- the 8th was an accident he wasn't aware of

 

[Da Docta]

"He made seven Horcruxes?"

"I am glad to see you appreciate the maginitude of the problem," said Dumbledore calmly. "But firstly, no, Harry, not seven Horcruzes: six. The seventh part of his soul, however maimed, resides inside his regenerated body.

exactly! 7 pieces until he accidently turned harry into one

 

[DareDemon]

Actually, Harry was the sixth Horcrux. The 7 was Nagini made from Bertha Jorkins' death. Nagini was made because Voldemort didn't know Harry was also a Horcrux.

I think an interesting question would be: What if Voldemort had succeeded in only have 7 parts instead of 8? I wonder if that would have made him more powerful.

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Yeah, it was all about having a seven part soul, not seven horcruxs, seven horcruxs would mean a eight part soul.

 

[Victarion]

Which deaths affected you the most/got the most response out of you? For me it was Dobby and Fred. I liked Tonks and Lupin, but just having them lined up among the dead after the battle didn't really affect me for some reason?

 

[amazingfantasy15]

Dobby and Hedwig most of all, I was kinda expecting a Weasley to die, so Fred's death wasn't as devastating.

 

[DareDemon]

I liked Luna's speech about Dobby. She's such a sweet girl.

The death that affected me most was prolly Fred, then a tie between Dobby and Hedwig. I just could not believe it was possible for Fred/George to die. They're just....too happy of people. I could hardly believe George's ear got cut off, but when Fred died....damn....

It was awesome when Percy quit being a prat though. At that point I was all like "aw hell yeah!"
