Harry is a Horcrux!

With the 7th and final Harry Potter book coming out July 21st, I’ve decided to re-read Half-Blood Prince (#6) and I’ve just realized something: Harry is a horcrux! I know, I know. Just let me explain:

  • Harry’s scar. Why does it burn when Voldemort experiences extreme emotions? And even more, in the 5th book he experienced dreams from Voldemort’s point of view…. hm…. maybe Harry has a piece of Voldemort’s soul stuck inside him?
  • Harry being almost put in Slytherin and being a Parsetongue.
  • Finally, I didn’t make this one up on my own - I got it from here. But they think that Harry is a decendant of Gryffindor himself because of the sword thing in the 2nd book. Therefore, he would be the missing Gryffindor horcrux. And as we’ve seen from Nagini (Voldemort’s snake) Horcruxes aren’t just limited to inanimate objects.

It’s sort of a weird idea, but once you think about it you realize it just has to be true! Duboink! Also, some more theories:

  • Harry shouldn’t die. Ron should. Not that I want him to, but him being killed by a Voldemort or a death eater early on in the book would really make Harry mad, make Hermione completely sad, and destabilize the viewer’s faith in if anyone will survive.
  • And relating to the theory above, Harry may have to end up killing himself to ensure that Voldemort can never come back. That might be okay, but I would really prefer that Harry didn’t die!

    Hey Zak!

    How do you NOT know what a Horcrux is???? Didn’t you read the last Harry Potter book? Basically, it’s killing someone and then splitting your soul and putting it in an object. Then, if you die you can come back to life! Voldy does that.

    Austen, apparently you nailed this! Linda just finished the book. She found it very satisfying. I read some spoilers.

    I am sorry, but I do not read the Harry Potter books. I find the movies to be great, but the books, i think are just too long.
