    The creation of Tom Riddle's first Horcrux was instrumental in his transition into Lord Voldemort. In todays video, I’m going to look at the moments leading up to Tom deciding that creating a horcrux would be his route of immortality regardless of the consequences so If dark magic from the wizarding world is your area of interest, then stick around..you won’t want to miss this.

    I think a lot of people don't realize, and maybe completely unintended on Rowlings part, but Tom Riddle grew up in an orphanage in London, during the london blitz. Every year he pleaded to dumbledore to let him live in Hogwarts but he was refused, so he kept having to return to a place where the threat of dying every summer was extremely high. Thus contributed to Voldemort(flight from death in french)and his overwhelming desire not to die.

      Eli not exactly. The london blitz was from september 7th 1940 - may 11th 1941. Which isn’t in the summer so when tom went back to the orphanage that year the london blitz was over. The reason he wanted to live in hogwarts was because he felt home there and in the orphanage he felt out of place.

      Also, the xhildren were taken to the countryside during that time and, if the parents couldn't go with, were fostered out.

      The only book to discuss in detail the creation of a horcrux, Secrets of the Darkest Art, was available in the restricted section of the Hogwarts library before Dumbledore ordered its removal. Obviously as a professor, Slughorn is allowed to enter the restricted section and might have read it during that time. Another possibility is that an acquaintance simply gave him a copy because of his influence.

Plus a soul doesn't have seams like a shirt does.

      Hender’s comment is the most accurate. It would be logical to conceal a fragment of his soul in a mundane and unrecognisable object but he was conceited and valued powerful artefacts. Only a parselmouth could open Slytherin’s locket (why would they bother?) making it very strong. I also think that he’d like to be able to recognise his horcruxes, he might want to check on them or move their location and trace them.

    • @faselfasel2864
      @faselfasel2864 5 років тому +1

      The horcruxes he made were carefully chosen, well hidden and even the fact that he had them in the first place was a very well conceiled secret. Yes, he could've chosen more mundane things, but he chose those artifacts because of their (magical) longevity and the fact that time and nobody, who would stumble upon them randomly would destroy them. You need to know that these artifacts are horcruxes in the first place, you need to find them and you need very special means to destroy them.

    I think Tom and Herpo actually weren't the only ones. I believe Owle Bullock did just to experiment with it, but destroyed it almost immediately for the same reason. I also believe Loxias, a former master of the Elder Wand, might have, hence the confusion on whether Arcus or Livius killed him. That confusion could be accounted for if he had a Horcrux and it spawned another one of him, as Tom's diary almost did at the expense of Ginny's life. However, I do believe Owle and Loxias would've only created one, and I also find it highly unlikely that they're still out there somewhere (which Herpo might be, if his was never found/destroyed).
    Video suggestions:
    --What if Bellatrix Lestrange survived? (in other words, if she managed to kill Molly Weasley that time)
    --What if Grindelwald broke free following the Battle of the Department of Mysteries? (on his own)
    --What if Lord Voldemort killed Harry Potter in the graveyard? Pt. 2 (like, how the Second Wizarding War would've changed)
    --What if Sirius Black killed Peter Pettigrew? Pt. 2 (like, how would the Horcrux hunt have changed, and when would it be)

      @davidhall6483 Рік тому

      The video suggestion for who is master of elder Wand now would be hard to guess. There could be two possibilities by the time of the curse child. Theory 1 - I'm guessing harry would have, working as a aura for the ministry, atleast been disarmed at some point in the 19 years leading upto the cursed child, making that person the master, so they will even be in azkaban now, dead or free on the streets and probz been beaten by someone else in some way by now and so on and so on, making it harder and harder to trace. Or 2nd theory - the elder Wand seeks the stronger opponent in a duel and will only win the duel against a weaker opponent in order to gain a stronger master, even if it's current master is the weakest wizard (seeking the master of death is the purpose of the wand) so if harry is the strongest Wizard of the age thn it will stay with him until his death, ending the elder Wand as it has no master. But either way harry through the Wand where no one will find it (or snapped it depending on book vs film) so there can actually be no master without a Wand, it just hopefully layed dormant at the bottom of the cliffs of hogwarts forever, if not and was discovered sometime in future it should thn work as it did for voldermort, as any other Wand would work for him but not perform extraordinary magic but that's only if the death stick would choose to let them weild it

  • @NinjaPirates4
    @NinjaPirates4 5 років тому +2

    This particular dark side of magic is immensely fascinating, especially because we are given very little information throughout the books about it. Perhaps, while Riddle was already devoid of the ability to love, his soul splitting caused him to become not just less charming in looks, but also colder, more malicious, and essentially more villainous. Certainly his hunger for power and fear of death is a cautionary tale to us (the readers/viewers) as to why we should not sacrifice our souls for the sake of power and immortality--doing so only causes us to become slaves to power. And, as it should be pointed out, gaining immortality is not a guarantee of evading death forever; even immortals are subject to death. Voldemort experienced a fate worse than death, but even he was not "immortal" once all his horcruxes were destroyed. Great video on a very fascinating subject!

    @katecooper3410 5 років тому +23

    I have a theory of how one can split one's soul: murder, as it is explicitly stated in the books. However, I think there's another way. Snape was indirectly responsible for Lily and James's death, but as we all know Voldemort was the one who struck them down. Dumbledore also asks Snape about his soul, implying that Snape may have split his soul. Only difference is that Snape never made a Horcrux, and it is likely that he learned about them at some point, even if he never put the pieces together. In other words, someone could split their soul by being the reason behind a death, or not stopping it. Thoughts?

    5:25. This is why in Harry Potter and the deathly hallows, Harry specifically asks him to show remorse, or some guilt. Even after all voldemort had done, To Harry and his friends and many others, he did not believe that he should suffer. It’s quite obvious that Voldemort showed no remorse or guilt of his killings. He wasn’t capable of such feeling and that’s because he thought those feelings were useless or for the weak.

  • @adamb3455

    Given that Dumbledore wasn't headmaster during Tom Riddle's attendance, he would've had no control over which books were in the school. Armando Dippet was headmaster and we are lead to believe he was rather incompetent. I suspect your theory of the book being slipped into the school is most likely, though it could've been mistakenly considered as part of the educational tools by an incompetent.

    By that time he had in fact already killed his unble, his father and his grandparents, as he was wearing the Slitherin ring. So I think he probably already made it into a horcrux, and he was asking Slughorn just because he wanted the affirmation that it was possible to create *more than one* horcrux, and that the diary that had part of his 16 yo self inside it was his second one made, after the ring.

    It's Sociopathy (the Hollywood version) and not maturity that Tom Riddle displays. It's evident from his days in the orphanage. Tom is a deeply disturbed individual; who clearly needed treatment; and not magical training.
