Something Small in Book 2=Something Big in the end

I agree that the sword signifies the Heir of G. Gryffindor. I also wonder whether there is any significance to the fact that the potters hid in Godrich's Hallow.... hmmmm?
Love, lily

pie?

wHAT ABOUT THE TOOTH HE GOT STUCK IN HIS ARM??? MAYBE ITS THAT...

You can hardly call Tom Riddle a “small and unimportant” part of Chamber of Secrets. So it must be something else.
Maybe we learn that Harry is a descendant of Voldemort? The “small part” may be were Harry wonders if HE is the heir.
Voldemort didn’t figure on the family tree of pure-bloods, that were on the wall in Sirius’ house. We know very little off Thomas Riddles life. In book 4 we learn that 50 years ago the Riddles were all killed, which makes Thomas the right age to be Harrys grandfather. But maybe young Mr. Potter is actually an heir to both Houses?

um...huh...

My other theory that goes along with the sword is that in the end, the finally battle between Harry and Voldemort will be in the Chamber of Secrets. Were Harry first came to realize just how similar he and Tom Riddle were. So, Harry ends up defeating Voldemort with Gryffindor's sword, yet he is not the heir of Gryffindor. Though the sword just shows how, though Harry and Tom may be alike, are two totally different people craving and wanting two entirely different things. For, the sword in CoS had been the light at the end of the tunnel for Harry in a way, it reasurred him that he was NOT like Tom Riddle/Voldemort.

Yet, I think that Harry being the heir of Slytherin is very possible to! Think about, JK is always leading us off down one path and then coming to a fork in the road and choosing the other! She is always veering us off of the path! 😄 The sword could show Harry that even though he is the heir of Slytherin he is not evil but good and that he was never, is never, and will never be like Voldemort though they may have the same blood running through their veins! That all in all he is a true Gryffindor at heart and finally found his place! 🙂

Oh, and about the scenes in the Chamber of Secrets, I switched the two around by accident, I mixed them up! 😮

I personally think that it's the thing about Baslisks....in the book that Hermione gets the page from it says something along the lines of: only the crow of the rooster can kill it. This would mean that the baslisk is still alive in the chamber with a huge hole in it's head 🤨

It didn't say ONLY the crow of the rooster could kill it! It said that the crow of the rooster could kill it! That means that it could die another way too, but that would be something wouldn't it! Harry having to face the baslisk all over again! 😱 Though, I don't think so. . . ❌

heres what i think...i think the sorting hat will play an important role...there cant be only g. gryfindors sword in there h. hufflepuff and r. ravenclaw and s. slytherin must have put something in there too...and lord v. could want s. slitherins dealio in there for some reason...or i think harry could be g. gryfindors heir and we learn that g. grifindor and s. slytherin fought and one died and know a millenia latter there heirs are continueing the fight...i just came up with that but i think it would be cool...

OK, First, maybe I'm wrong, but how big is a basilisk? Relativley large. Where did we learn the Lord V. had one? You may be saying book four. Where does it say "The snake is a basilisk"? There might be different types of magical snakes, you never know.

It WAS NOT a basilisk becasue Harry looked into it's eyes and so did the old man (I forgot his name!) in the beginning of the book. So it couldn't be.

How did anyone find out that she said something in the 2nd book anyway? i was just wondering...

I wonder what was so small in book 2 could be so important in book 6/7

yeah so m i...

I think that it would be something to do with Tom Riddle. Maybe about the similarities?

no i don't think it will be about that caus she says it's a small and UNIMPORTANT part of the book, and to me, the similarities between harry and voldemort are pretty big!!! but i do think that will be elaborated on in later books, it's just not what JK was talking about.

OK, see if n e one can relate my theory to anything small and unimportant in the second book, caus i can't think of n e thin which therefore suggests my theory is completely wrong!!!!!....

Remember when dumbledore told harry that he thought that voldemort had transferred some of his power to harry on the night that he tried to kill him?? well what if his power is his strength, meaning that some of his strength lies within harry and therefore whilst harry is alive, so is voldemort. This means that the only way to finish voldemort off is for harry to kill himself. Get me?

ooh, ooh , ooh!! what if its to do with when harry saw draco and lucius in the shop in knockturn alley?? caus not too much was said about that afterwards...the trio just put it down to lucius not wanting to be caught with dark magic stuff and then forgot bout the whole thing

thats an idea. that was a small part that had no point and was never brought up again, but i just dont c how that could b important. Unless it has something 2 do with that place lucius keeps his poisons. Or if it has something 2 do with Borgin.

Wow, good thoughts here. I'm clueless actually. Maybe harry will take another trip to knockturn alley. Braaa
