Redstreak 6,653 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 In J.k. Rowling's book Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, we find that in the end the ultimate goal of the diary was to take Ginny's life force and resurrect itself to open the chamber and whatnot. What if it had kept itself hidden until it had completely overtaken Ginny and resurrected itself? We would have had two Voldemort's running around, the now resurrected Tom Riddle and the Main spirit fragment Voldemort who also trying to find a way to resurrect itself. That leads to a lot of different possibilities with the series. One being, which my friend and I discussed, is that it would have led to young Voldemort trying to gather the death eaters under his leadership. At that point spirit Voldemort is still working to resurrect himself and if he succeeds that means we would have had young voldemort with a growing army and older voldemort starting off with his rag tag support group that helped bring him back. Eventually that would have led to a war between the two voldemorts over supremacy as to who would be the new main voldemort along with their plans to take down Harry and rule the wizarding world which would have completely changed the entire series past Prisoner of Azkaban. Not to mention that if the diary had the ability to bring itself, that means the others did to. What if every horcrux had managed to bring itself back. That's like seven different voldemorts. It gets really messy. Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstreak 6,653 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Why didn't the basilisk fang kill the horcrux in Harry in the Chamber of Secrets? Q: When Harry was stabbed by a basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, since he was a Horcrux, shouldn't it have been destroyed then? JKR: I have been asked that a lot. Harry was exceptionally fortunate in that he had Fawkes. So before he could be destroyed without repair, which is what is necessary to destroy a horcrux, he was mended. However, I made sure that Fawkes wasn't around the second time a Horcrux got stabbed by a basilisk fang, so the poison did its work and it was irreparable within a short period of time.... I established early in the book, Hermione says that you destroy a Horcrux by using something so powerful that there's no remedy. But she does say there is a remedy for basilisk poison but of course it has to be administered immediately and when they stab the cup later - boy I'm really blowing this for anyone who hasn't finished the book - there's Fawkes, is my answer. And thank you for giving me a chance to say that because people have argued that quite a lot.

RAMROD 107,039 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 It won't get messy. There is still only one Voldermort. But he must be killed 8 times for him to completely vanished. Because all those fragments in horcruxes are the essence of one true Voldeemort. There won't be 7 physical Voldermorts in the same place ever. Tom Riddle from that book, one of the horcrux, are just fragments of memories. And its tasks is to bring Voldermort back to life using Ginny, tgat I suppose quite the same way actual Voldermort returns using Harry's blood among other things.

JusticeforVenus 950 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I think , every horcrux had managed to make Voldemort inmortal ... not to bring 7 voldemorts or 2 voldemorts.....

RAMROD 107,039 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Imagine that though It specifically says that diary Tom was working to physically resurrect himself. He even almost succeeded. That is because a Horcrux can gradually feed on another person's life or negative emotions to strengthen itself and increase the ability of the soul fragment within to act independently in the physical world. When Ginny Weasley began to transcribe her fears and insecurities into the pages of the diary, the fragment of Tom Riddle's soul contained within was not only able to write back to Ginny but eventually drained enough life out of her to actually manifest itself in a semi-corporeal form and work magic with Harry Potter's wand. This way, Voldemort took advantage of this possessive power to reopen the Chamber of Secrets, using the diary as a weapon rather than a safeguard. Shall he succeeded, Voldermort will return in the physical form of Tom, and with extra power from fusion with his wandering souls that surviving by drinking unicorn blood.

Chromatislaps 34,799 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 There is another opening for future books: at the end of The Deathly Hallows, Harry lost one of the three hallows: the resurrection stone. That stone could have more to it than JK Rowling wrote in the books... at least I think it could be interesting to give it more depth, as opposed to the invisibilty cloak and the elder wand.
