Deathly Hallows Book Discussion **LoTs Of Spoilers** - Page 24

Well, that was a rollicking fun read! I haven't been this "into" a HP book for since HP 2. I was amazed how she got everyone out of the sticky situations in a reasonably believable fashion. I only had one major "huh" moment, which is, "Where did Nevil get the Sword of Gryffendore to kill the snake?"

I'll go back and read the rest of this thread now.

From the sorting hat just like Harry did. A true Griffendore can pull the sword from the sorting hat if he/she is worthy and needs it.

OK. I just read all 5 pages of this thread and feel my questions have been answered. I, too, had a problem with the RoR being filled with lots of stuff and Tom Riddle not noticing that, but the explanation makes sense. Of course, I barely remember the details of the other books, so I'm willing to believe just about anything.

I. too, thought the baby thing was Voldermort.

My crushes in the book are Sirius and Snape with a fascination for Bellatrix and Narcissa. I LOVE both of their names. I think it is the hair all around. Malfoy Sr also seems pretty hot, but I love the actor as Hook. And, speaking of hair, John Malkovitch as Valmont is super hot. I love long hair on men. Love it love it love it.

I was a voracious reader as a kid - much more so than I am now. L'Engle, Nancy Drew, Phantom Tollbooth, Black Beauty, (Misty of Chincoteague, any horsey books) Narnia, Roald Dahl - I couldn't get enough of any of them.

Oh, and when Harry wakes up naked, I could totally picture it.

A friend is having a Harry Potter Halloween party and I think I'm going to go as Bellatrix Lestrange. She so rocks in an evil way.

That sounds like a lot of fun!!

OK so I have 200 pages of HPatDH left to go and it just hit me that there was a rather large logical gap with the horcrux issue that perhaps has been discussed or someone can resolve:

Why can't Voldemort create yet ANOTHER horcrux?

Supposedly you gotta kill someone and then cast a spell on an object and whammo, a horcrux. If HP and friends destroy all the horcruxes, then Voldy is mortal. So why can't Voldy just create another one on a random object after his resurrection? One that has no sentimental connection to him and therefore would never be guessed at by Harry Potter and Friends?

Is this explained somehow, because I am missing it. Or perhaps I haven't gotten to it yet.

The more you split your soul the more unstable what's left becomes. Making one horcrux is bad enough but he's made many more. Each time he rips his soul in half a little less is left. And what's left becomes more and more unstable.

So he could do it - but he's already gone way to far.

Yes ! I'm sure Slughorn explains this in Half Blood Prints.

Plus, he's a dimwit (as portrayed by Rowling) who doesn't realize till waaaay too late that Harry's knocking off the Horcruxes (horcruxi??) one-by-one.

Maybe all that soul-splitting has split off too much of his brain power.
