The Missing Horcrux (spoiler alert)

Yeah, seeing as it was a guess its kinda hard to say, but why would he put it in the snake?

This is a difficult one. When Harry saw the snake attacking Mr. Weasly, it was possessed, right? Why would LV need to possess it if it had a bit of his soul in him? Should have just said, "Off you go now, and while you're there, bite Weasly for me."

The snake has no defences against anyone trying to destroy the Horcrux

Do we know that for sure? It is almost always around Voldemort, which would be some level of protection, but then why would Voldemort keep two pieces of his soul in close proximity? I thought his idea was to spread them around?

I stand by what I said earlier, Dumbledore thought the snake was a Horcrux, and I trust his judgement. Otherwise, Harry would have two unknown Horcruxes to find. We wouldn't want to overwork him now, would we?

the horcrux is in siriuses (tear) house because his brother hid it there rab regelus alphred black uncle alphred gave sirius money

Regulus Alphred Black? Filling in the blanks there, erella?

What I think is that Lord Voldemort made Harry one of his horocruxes. I do not think his scar means anything but I think when Lord Voldemort tried to kill Harry, Voldemort found he could'nt so he decided to make Harry a horocrux. Dumbledore said to Harry that Voldemort wanted to kill someone and it would be significant. And everyone knows what happened so I guess it was significant

if that makes any sense

Well, it was stated in book five that Sirius and Regulus had an uncle named Alphred Black. It would make sense if Regulus had his middle name named after his uncle, therefore giving him the 'A'.

What makes people think that Harry is a horcrux?

Has there been ANY legitament evidence to even suggest something like this?

No. There hasn't. The only thing is "It would have been really smart for Voldemort to make Harry a Horcrux." And thats it. Nothing else.

Ok thanks.

And I retract my previous comment anyway, I sounded totally obnoxious 😮

There have been some convincing evidence to disprove it, though. Has anyone found anything wrong with my suggestion about Ravenclaw's tiara, though? 😛 😄

What tiara???

Lol, when I said 'Ravenclaw's' tiara, I was making a few assumptions, but remember back in OOTP when JK mentions, just in passing, that the kids found a heavy locket that nobody could open while clearing out Number 12? Well, I think that most people agree that is the stolen R.A.B locket.

So, given that, and given that in an interview, JK said if you read HBP carefully you'll find out what the missing Horcrux is, I looked over some of it, trying to remember a tiny detail mentioned, just in passing, that could be something more significant.

I thought that Voldemort's connections with Hogwarts may mean that he wanted to hide a Horcrux in Hogwarts itself, and what better place to hide it than in the Room of Requirement?

When Harry stashed the Prince's copy of Advanced Potion Making, he sets a dusty old bust up, sits a wig on top of its head and then places a tiara neatly on the wig, so he can find where he left the book. That information was thrown in casually, and why mention it at all if it is not worth mentioning?

All in all, I thought that was a pretty fair guess as to the missing Horcrux.

✅ I have to agree. And well done on the thinking it through 👆

Cheers. 😄

I'd have to say that the tiara is probably one of the best theories I've heard yet on the last unknown horcrux. 😄

JK did particularly mention it...

Quick question. Where in the books did it say Ravenclaw wore a tiara? (I'm not denying it I just don't remember)

It doesn't, it mentions the tiara randomly (which Rowling doesn't generally do without reason) and then says that the Horcrux was something of Ravenclaw's... she could well have owned a tiara even if she diidn't wear one... and Molly mentioned a tiara for Fleur to wear at her wedding, could this be of relevance?

I never thought about that!!! It's a great theory!!! I knew about the locket being R.A.B.'s and all, but I had no idea about the tiara!

Hm... It's a long shot but it could be true... Though... Without proof that Ravenclaw wore a tiara, it'll be hard to sway anyone... (Including myself)...
