    “Physical possession of the sword is not guaranteed ownership, as the sword can magically disappear and reappear at any merit it chooses. In Deathly Hallows, Griphook steals the sword from Harry after helping break into Gringotts, but the sword vanishes from his possession as he is not a true gryffindor.” So even if Voldemort got the sword, it might disappear before he could turn it into a horcrux because he’s not a true gryffindor.

      We know Snape, a Slytherin, took the sword from behind the painting in the Headmaster's office and placed it in the bottom of the frozen pond in Deathly Hallows. So it's possible for a non-Gryffindor to take it, transport it, etc. without it disappearing. Apparently, the sword just does whatever it (or JK Rowling) wants to do.

    The idea of the sword presenting itself to Fabian & Gideon right before they get killed by Death Eaters is kind of funny to me. Because it means that the sword just randomly shows up, even when it can't really do anything useful.

      Given how the sword presents itself to worthy Gryffindors under situations of great valor and the Sorting Hat stays at the school in the Headmaster's office, I very much doubt that many others besides Harry and Neville could have gotten the sword out of the hat because there would be so few opportunities to have a situation requiring valor while also happening to be in the same room as the hat. The hat is a good way to call the sword if you need it because the hat belonged to Gryffindor too, but that doesn't mean that it has to or even usually does present itself that way.

    Something I just thought of while re-watching this video: What if the seemingly insignificant deaths were in fact emotionally significant to Voldemort? Considering his mother used a love potion to coerce Tom Sr. into a sexual relationship, it's not inconceivable that Tom Jr. would think of his mother as a "tramp" who loved a muggle. Therefore, his murder of a "muggle tramp" could have been symbolic in his mind for killing his mother. Maybe each of the other Horcrux deaths are equally symbolic in some way?

      I wouldn't say that the horcrux selection implies any sort of sympathy, the sheer nature and purpose of the spell denies that as a possibility. But many psychopathic killers chose there victims for a reason, often an emotional one - even more so when they have an important goal in mind. No sympathy required, nor did I intend to suggest there was. :)

      Tom Riddle is a psychopath/ antisocial sociopath/ malignant narcissist, he collects meaningful "trophies" or personal items like when pedophiles, other rapists, clinical sadists and stalkers keep photographs or special items from their victims. He was doing that already when Dumbledore went over to get him at the Orphanage. Dark Tetrad people almost compulsively follow neuronally nature plus nurture written behavioural manuals of predatory behaviour, that's one of the ways in which they're diagnosable, apart from lacking empathy, being remorseless, machiavellian, narcissistic, utilitarian, self-delusional and sadistic. They can troll people but in your example I'd be only if they imprint meaning onto a grain of sand, the thing is that as Voldie you would need to find it to eventually, so it would have to get some magnetic attraction towards you, or something, idk.

      Interesting thought... If ordinary enough, then when it should get broken would it cause questions, because it did not break (shatter, dent,etc)? Good idea especially if just tossed and goes to a landfill, because then it would get lost and no one would be the wiser. It seemed to me that he wanted to protect them and therein was the problem. The protection alone or keeping secret automatically draws people to want to find. If that were to happen, then would that mean that evil wins and the good would lose. A good example is a hollowed out book with your valuables out in the open versus of safe on/in the wall. The safe states if you had valuables it would be there, and if not you have none for the taking. I like this thought process for being the winner. Now, if this were true, then would anyone be able to find the item(s) in time to destroy in order for Voldemort to die and the current evil with him? My guess is Harry would have died a second death, then all the world would be under Voldemort's rule.

    Here's a thought. When Molly's brothers were attacked by the death eaters the sword likely came to them and the disappeared when they died. Guess Voldamort heard that this happened and knew it would be presented to James too if he was attacked. So he went to Godrics Hollow believing the sword would be there.

    The easier thing to steal would be the sorting hat which used to belong to Godric Gryfindor and was then enchanted by each founder.

    Alternate theory: We don’t actually know a bunch about how horcruxes are made, but we do know that it is a very significant magical event, which requires a powerful wizard, what if it also requires magically significant days? The Harry Potter series shows constantly that halloween is magically significant, at least to Harry, and in real world “magic lore” halloween is significant. It could be that Halloween was the closest convenient and magically significant day under which horcruxes could be made. If we go by real world “lore” the fall solstice would happen first, but it could be too close to when Voldemort received the information to matter, being only a month and a half, given that it’s possible to ritual to create horcruxes requires very specific ingredients, which is why Slughorn might know about it, being a potions master.

    It would have been really hard to destroy the sword of gryffindor because it absorbs what makes it stronger, as seen in the chamber of secrets where it absorbs the basilisks toxic blood or venom. This venom is able to destroy horcruxes as Hermione explains in Deathly hallows. So if you tried to destroy the sword of gryffindor with a basilisk's tooth, it would just have no effect at all because the sword would just absorb the venom as it has before in the chamber of secrets when Harry kills the basilisk.

Snape only put the sword in the pond because Dumbledore said Harry had to claim it under circumstances of extraordinary bravery, so if the hat were necessary for that, he would've had Snape bring Harry the hat, rather than the sword itself. Also, it'd just be fairly poor design if the only way you could get Gryffindor's sword was if you happened to have the Sorting Hat handy 'cos A.) you're far more likely to find yourself in need of a sword & demonstrating remarkable bravery in a situation outside of school, & B.) even if you do find yourself in that situation at school, you still probably won't have the Sorting Hat nearby as that's kept in the headmaster's office.

      Unless you can somehow change who the Fidelius Charm's secret keeper is (might be possible, but the wording in the books seems to imply that Sirius convinced them to use Peter right from the start of the Charm's effect), Peter would have been the secret keeper and thus known whwre they were hiding right when they went into hiding.

      Fudge mentioned earlier in the book, when he was out drinking with Hagrid, Flitwick, McGonagall, that "barely a week after the Fidelius Charm had been performed --". I'm thinking all those in the Order were hiding already. And Voldemort would have to wait to see who was pregnant, for the prophecy was made before Lily was pregnant. That messes up the theories of the SuperCarlinBrothers on the timeline.

Mind blown. If it wouldn't take the soul piece, the piece may have gone to the closest thing, Harry.

    I quite like this theory. While I doubt the sword would have simply allowed Voldemort to hold onto it instead of just disappearing, Voldemort may have had some spell to counteract this effect. Other than that, I see next to no problems here, so good video!
    As for whether or not the sword would accept Voldemort's soul, Horrcruxes are nearly indestructible so I think the sword may very well have accepted it as that would make it stronger, had Voldemort gotten the chance to make the sword a Horrcrux of course.
    Also, I think Voldemort chose the sword for an extra reason. The sword is a powerful weapon and only presents itself to worthy Gryffindors. Imagine if some Gryffindor hero, the last one resisting Voldemort's regime, was fighting bravely in a battle and was able to summon the sword. However, the sword immediately turns on the hero, because it is possessed and controlled by a piece of Voldemort's soul. Such an insidious weapon would be a perfect way for Voldemort to combat his enemies, and if he could bend the enchantment to his will like how he can control other Horrcruxes, he could use it to track down all the most dangerous Griffindors.
    That's just wild speculation, but great video regardless!

      The sword only supposedly appears to worthy Gryffindors because it was commissioned by Godric Gryffindor; it was, however, Goblin-made and people need to keep that it mind. It's not a sword of righteousness; it's just enchanted to appear for worthy Gryffindor's a.k.a. the brave, the bold, the chivalrous. The only limitation it has is that it only takes in that which makes it stronger, and as Horcruxes are incredibly difficult to destroy, it would have become a Horcrux had Riddle succeeded in killing Harry.

      Maki Horcruxes are not specifically Slytherin related and a very dark field of Magic of the kinds that I don't think Godric would've had any reason to specifically counter act that with his enchantment. As for the destructive quality; it's not the sword but the basilisk venom which destroys the horcruxes. But I think that gives another question: Would have kiling the basilisk with the sword destroyed the horcrux in the sword itself and would the sword itself survive the killing of the contained horcrux? Would the sword not appear when the needing fights something that could destroy the swords horcrux?

      Or Voldemort is a massive drama queen, considering he held his resurrection at the end of the Triwizard Tournament when he could have just had Barty Jr kidnap him while at Hogwarts, such as when he caught Harry, Krum, and Barty Senior on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. I get the feeling that self-propelled flight was something he perfected during OotP or HBP, since during the former he was keeping a low profile, and in the latter his actions in the present aren't even mentioned after the summer ends; and during the Battle of the Seven Potters, everyone in the Order reacts like Voldemort being able to fly without any aid is something he didn't have before.

      Nope. He literally uses the wording "to split the soul seven times". "Seven times" is NOT the same thing as "seven pieces", because you have to remember you're not counting from zero. You're counting from ONE, because the soul already exists. Each time you split the soul you are ADDING to the one that already existed. One plus seven is eight. He intended for seven horcruxes, plus the piece inside his body.
      SLUGHORN is the one who uses the wording "seven pieces". But he's not the one creating them. The person who actually created the horcruxes SPECIFICALLY says "split the soul seven times". Eight pieces. Not seven.

    I really like this theory, but my only gripe is that Voldemort probably wouldn't have wanted an object from Gryffindor that was known for teleporting. All of his other horcruxes were hidden away from the world, so I think he would find the sword rather unreliable - but then again, we are talking about the same guy who had access to the chamber of secrets, a chamber only he could enter and yet he choose the room of requirement to store the diadem, so his judgement might not be the best.
    Also, would it even have been possible to destroy the sword if it became a horcrux? The sword only takes in what will make it stronger and since it just absorbed the venom from the basilisk would one the fangs have been able to destroy it then? Maybe that would be why he would want to make it a horcrux then.

      I think Voldemort's soul that has his nose is in Tom Riddle's Diary. Which was destroyed before he was revived. That's why he doesn't have a nose.

    What if Voldemort thought he had the sword, but it wasn’t the real sword? Remember when Bellatrix went crazy when she realized Harry and Hermione had the sword that was in her vault? That was a fake sword, a very well made copy, but not the original. Maybe that’s how she ended up with the sword in her vault to begin with. I might be wrong but I don’t remember there’s an actual explanation as to how she had the sword in her vault or is there one?

      I always assumed that when Snape became Headmaster he commissioned the replica of the sword and gave it to Voldemort in place of the original, which he kept hidden since and not on display as it had been previously under Dumbledore. If I recall correctly, Lucius Malfoy would have seen the sword at the end of CoS, so the idea that Voldemort kept the fake since any moment prior wouldn't add up.

    • @cristalmiranda9772
      @cristalmiranda9772 Před 5 lety +1

      But what would’ve been the point of Snape giving the sword to Voldemort then? I don’t think Voldemort knew that the sword can be used to destroy the horcruxes.

      It was explained in the books. Dumbledore told Snape to make a replica. Dumbledore knew Harry would need to original so it wouldn't do for something to happen to it. After Ginny, Neville, and I think Luna tried to steal it it was placed in Bellatrix's vault. The replica, that is. Bellatrix went crazy because Voldemort gave her Hufflepuff's cup to put in her vault, she didn't know what it was, of course, so naturally, the idea someone might have broken in and potentially taken the cup was enough to cause her to go spastic.

    They were actually in hiding for about a week becuz in prisoner of Azkaban when fudge is talking in the 3 broomsticks we says they were talking that they were only in hideing for about a week before being killed. On page 205 near the bottom “And then, barely a week after the Fidelius Charm had been performed - “

      Braeden Donnelly --This is a serious holey one though, while Voldemort went to kill Harry, there’s no way I believe he thought HE’D get zapped by the rebound, which would mean the sword (if it was there) would’ve been there. Nope, I’m not buying this one.

    He didn’t want to make seven Horcruxes - he wanted to split his soul into seven pieces.
    “Can you only split the soul once? For instance, seven...”
    “Merlin’s beard, Tom! Isn’t it bad enough to consider killing one person? To SPLIT THE SOUL into seven pieces...”
    As in, the part of the soul still inside him, and then the six pieces of soul in the Horcruxes.

    It always troubled me that why Voldemort never sought the sword for making it a horcrux, since he turned rest three house artifacts into horcruxes. Thanks for answering it with your theory. You guys rock !!

      If I remember correctly, it's mentioned in the book he would have seen Voldemort if it hadn't been for the dementors. In the book, Lupin stops him from meeting the Boggart because he fears this will happen (imagine the chaos that would ensue if the Boggart turned into Voldemort in front of the whole class).
