| Hi! Long time no post, but I've read and re-read books 5 and six and I kinda came up with a theory for the next installment in our favorite set. Spoiler Warning If you have not finished book 6 and do not want to be spoiled, please turn away now! Anyways, I was wondering, what if Harry is one of the Horcruxes? You know, like in the prophecy, he will be marked as an equal, and neither can live while the other survives. This could mean that Harry will also have to die. Since we know that in order to split your soul to create a Horcrux, you must commit a murder, then maybe Voldemort used Lily Potters murder to turn Harry into a Horcrux? I know it's kinda out there, but this idea has really been bugging me. What do you guys think? |

| You'd be surprised by how many people I've heard voicing this theory. But the way I see it, there's just one big flaw - Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow specifically to kill Harry. And there wouldn't have been a lot of point putting a piece of his soul into Harry, only to destroy that part of his soul 5 seconds later with an Avada Kedavra. ![]() |

| yeah, that is a pretty big hole in the theory, but maybe he put the Horcrux in Harry after he realized he couldn't kill him? but then again he might not have had enough power to do that. Or the horcrux could be in the house in Godrics Hollow, and since Harry will be going there in the next book . . . ? |

| The way I see it, as soon as the curse rebounded, that was it, Voldemort was gone. But I do like the idea of one of the Horcruxes being something in the old house at Godric's Hollow. ![]() |

| Yeah, because Harry may live there in the next book, and after he tracks down the other Horcruxes he could be really frustrated trying to find the last one, and eventually he realizes that it's been there all along. I kinda hope that doesn't happen tho, I'd hate to see one of us acurately predict what will happen, because I much prefer a surprise, but speculation is always fun anyway! ![]() |

| If there is a Horcrux in Harry (and this is the first time I've heard that theory - but we did discuss them being inexticably linked in some way last year) then how can harry ever kill Voldemort? All the Horcrux's need to be anihilated before Voldemort himself can be tackled, and to destroy the Horcrux in Harry first would leave Voldemort the victor. Please explain how it can work a different way? ![]() |

| I've read a theory that it's not Harry himself that is the Horcrux but his scar. I'm not sure about this myself. If it is true, Dumbledore can't have known because he said he wouldnt get rid of the scar even if he could. Harry will have to find a way of removing the scar which dumbledore said can't be done. Like I said, I'm not sure about this theory. |

| Re: Horcruxes. The remaining. hmm....I've been thinking about that, and I've got this crazy theory that ole Potter himself is one of the horcruxes. If you think about it, it explains a lot, why HP has a bit of Voldie's powers, etc. I mean, they're not really sure on the exact items in the 'Horcrux list', anyway. |

| Re: Horcruxes. The remaining. Yep, I reckon it's HP too - specifically the scar. Voldemort has to kill to create a Horcrux and in that case it was Potter's parents. It would explain how Rowling ends the series - Potter sacrificing himself to ensure Voldemort dies. |

| Re: Horcruxes. The remaining. I dont think that Harry will be a horcrux mainly for the reason that it would be...wierd. Think about it, Voldermort is killing someone, this spell fatally rebounds on him and takes all his powers, i would be more interested in the loss of powers and the shear agony than making the best out of a moment. I also think that Voldermort would have some control over Harry if he was a Horcrux. he does afterall have control over Nagini. We also dont know that the locket is destroyed. I think that Regulas Black had it then it is still in the Black household. It is mentioned somewhere in the books when they are clearing out the house that there was a large locket. |

A thing about the scar being a horcrux. Voldie didnt actually mean to give Harry a scar but to kill him. | |
