Videos about Tom Riddle actually intrest me the most. He is so mysterious and Rowling basiclly left us with not much info about him. This is why your work is so valuable
Have you had a chance to read Half-Blood Prince? The book goes into way more detail about Tom Riddle’s past where the movie just sort of glosses over it.
Are you a movie-only fan? Because in the books there was a lot of info about him, mostley in the Halfblood Prince, that was almost all about him This comment might come over as Rude, that is not my intention, just wanted to share my opinion
It did occur to me while watching this that in some ways, the appearance factor the video focuses on could be a comparable feature between Voldemort and Vader. Both became something terrifying and unnatural through their pursuit of power.
The reason I think why Voldemort decided to stop after making seven Horcruxes and didn't make anymore, even to replace the ones the Golden Trio had destroyed was because he may have been afraid the next one will strip him of his intelligence. Little by little the Horcruxes had chipped away at his humanity. The more horcruxes he made the more animalistic and less human he became. It's possible that the next Horcrux he creates could have turned him into an unintelligible rabid beast, one devoid of mental capacity and cunning, and living off primal instinct. Perhaps Voldemort was aware of this and thought it wasn't worth the risk.
It is confirmed Tom made 7 due to it being the magic number in law and Tom was the type to like symbolism and was up himself and thought he was better than others, plus he loved hogwarts and wanted to keep that connection by placing his soul inside the houses treasures, But I do like your interpretation and it could definately be something to consider along with tom's obsession with the number 7. After all, when your physical body and moral mentality is taken what's left other than reason?
Doubtful. At some point Dumbledore outright says that though his soul is absolutely mangled, Voldemort's intellect and magical ability remain as great as they ever were. Soz
I just can't imagine a 50 percent reduction wouldn't have had a serious effect on destorying what was left of his body. The diary held the largest half and the snake was the last piece. All in all I doubt he could have done more. The tome itself as Mrs. Granger stated it warned the reader what consequences could follow.
I think a Riddle TV series is where the franchise should go. Season 1 start with the orphanage and the cave and end with him discovering he is Slytherin's heir. Season 2 finish Hogwarts and show the creation of the first Horcruxes. Season 3 show what happened before he interviews with Dumbledore and end with him hiding the Diadem in the Room of Requirement. Season 4 the prelude to the first Wizarding War. Season 5 the war and end with Godric's Hollow. What are your thoughts?
There doesn’t need to be 5 seasons, make it at least a few seasons starting maybe at the end of hogwarts or when he makes his first horcrux. Follow all the horcruxs and the start of the wizarding war with his first downfall.
I imagine horcruxes have a ‘deal with the devil’ style lore to them, yes you’re immortal, but have to ‘live’ fragmented in inanimate objects once your body is completely gone and have no one to latch onto. Sort of Death’s way of punishing those who try to get away from ‘him’/it, just like how death caught up to the Peverell Brothers
Caught up, with 2 of them. The 3rd wasn't caught, he greeted death like an old friend. He could have kept the cloak on for longer.

I would say that the horcruxes made him snake-like, but also not snake-like. Describing him as a walking skeleton is a much better description I think. He came so close to the undead, without actually dying and pass over. The horcruxes allowed him to have one foot on the side of the living and the other on the side of the dead, thus making him immortal.
Given how much he already knew about the dark arts even at age 16, I believe he must have been aware to a degree about the consequences of his grand immortality project, specially with regards to his physical appearance. It is understood both in and outside of the Harry Potter universe that the extensive use of dark magic will deform the sorcerer and make them look like the monster they are on the inside (it is in fact a common trope in fiction, Star Wars does it with Palpatine). Surely Riddle knew but just did not care, power was far more important than good looks to him seeing as he never showed any interest in anything else. Come to think of it since his looks came from the father he so despised he might have been happy with the result as a mark of his superiority as a wizard.
I think you're right that Voldemort didn't value his looks. He probably saw anything that made him less human and more powerful as an improvement. "This is an optimized dark wizard. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like."
@@johndaniel7161 So he says before he goes all "Avada Kedavra / Crucio" on you just for having the temerity to ask ahahahahaha Besides apparently he never showed interest in relationships as a teenager, the closest we get is him using his good looks on Hepzibah so he could take the Hufflepuff Cup, once he got it he had no further use for that sort of thing and he clearly prefers threats, torture and murder as means of persuasion.
@Augustus077. I agree with you! He so hated that his father was a muggle that he probably was "proud" that he was eliminating his muggle part of himself from his magical world.
I think that Voldemort looked more human in the first war than in the secound. During one of Harry's lessons with Dumbledore were they looked into pensive we see a glimpse of how Voldemort looked in his mid transformations. The dark magick did take a hevy tool on his apparence however he wasen't fully bald and his nose haden't fully disapeed. Att that poit he had five horcruxes, the diary, the locket, the ring, the cup and the diadem. He didn't create anymore horcruxes until that night in Godric's Hollow were the spell backfired on him and his final horcrux being the snake. So based on that I would say that Voldemort looked more like the way he was when he returned to Hogwarts to apply to the DADA position in 1971 rather than his apparence in the secound war in 1995.
Its also possible that the condition of ones body is likely degenerative You dont instantly lose your nose when you make 6 horcruxes, but rather the cartilege dissipates over time. We know when he saw dumbledore that his nose wasnt as prominent, and its likely that soon after it disappeared His hair was patchy, how long til it fell out completely? Like if its essentially alopecia its rare for ones hair to fall out entirely very quickly. Usually it takes a while and the person ends up shaving it off at a certain point anyway as the patchiness becomes to prominent to be worth what little hair is left
Many physical changes were because of the usage of venom from his snake Nagini before his return in Harry's fourth year 🐍 In his first reign as the Dark Lord, he propably looked more like he did in the first movie on the back of Quirrell's head 🎭
I also think that right before Voldemort killed Harry's parents and tried to kill him he looked still more lhuman than snake. Perhaps he looked like he was described in Dumbledore's memory? Or he was already bald, red-eye but still had a human nose.
@@fedeeeeee yesterday I thought abot why he brought diadem to Hogwarts?? He was sure Dumbledore wouldn't hire him. Why the Albanian forest was no longer safe?
@@andrzejzborowski4920 because he wanted to hide them in places that were significant to himself. The Albanian forest might be a great hiding place, but a place that had no value to him
Not that much since everyone at the ministry recognizes him at a glance as voldemort in book 5 He definately closely resembled the figure we saw after his return enough that he was instantly recognizable as old moldy voldy
That's the thing that is so frustrating for me personally as well! I get that JKR didn't want to tell about the horcruxes in the very beginning, when most of us were still very young as well. But the PotterHeads (like myself) who grew up with the books and movies are all grownups now. I mean i'm 36! It would be so interesting to see a very dark movie about the dark arts and Tom Riddle becoming Voldemort, on the search of his power etc... I would not only like to see how a Horcrux work but also how his mom did slip the love potion into his dad's drink. I would like to actually see his story. Completely! Also the applying of professor for the DADA! His changes of appearance along the way. I think there is still so much left to tell. Also, the fact that Harry is an "unwanted" horcrux means that the ritual didn't happen. It's a part of Voldemort's soul that latched on him. A bit as if he was possessed like Prof. Quirl. Though in a very different way of course. But the fact that the ritual didn't happen means that the possibility of cannibalism is still a possibility as well. I honestly can't really see what is more repulsive than killing someone and then eat a body part. (Maybe the heart or something.) I mean, sure, there could be visual wounds but with magic, almost anything is possible. And then, of course, we also have the "Death EATERS."
Wondered myself 😂 I just think of that bald French guy who played him in house of gaunt which is a short film based on how he was born etc he's got a full head of hair when you first see him but at the end my god 😂😂😂 you just gotta see it... funny as fk I don't mean it's funny as fuck as in its a bad short I gotta kinda correct that lol, it's actually one of the best I've seen since severus snape and the mauraders I'd dare say a little better, just how voldemort looks by the end is hilarious
This also begs the question if whether or not transfiguration could still be used to “fix” the physical changes. Would a Metamorphagus be able to just shift their features back once the physical changes occurred or would the dark magic impede or negate them from doing so?
One of my theories is that the spell to create the horucrux has to be spoken in parseltongue based on the only know creators of horucruxs are herpo and voldemort
I really like your stuff but this isn't accurate. The diary was his first Horcrux. It was also mentioned that Voldemort was very handsome when working for Borgin and Burkes and that's a contributing factor to him being able to charm Hepzibah Smith to reveal Salazar Slytherin's locket before he killed her and stole it. So I think we could assume that the first two Horcruxes had very little effect (if any) on his physical appearance. And it wasn't until he reappeared at Hogwarts to apply for the DADA job and had his 5th horcrux (the Diadem) that Harry notices in the memory that his facial features are 'waxy' like he's becoming less human and his eyes are red although not yet snake-like. His reincarnated body that is part snake bc he used Nagini's venom in the potion isn't what I think his human body had deteriorated to with his dark magic and the creation of the horcruxes. Even with the 6 horcruxes, he was still very much human. Or at least that's what I'm going off with the literature bc there's not much canon on his physical transformation. Dumbledore didn't know it was horcruxes until the end of Chamber of Secrets. So I think had Voldemort had such a drastic deterioration of his physical body before murdering the Potters that it would have been a bigger tip-off. Slughorn tells Riddle that Dumbledore has a special hatred of horcruxes and that he's removed all references to them from the library. So I think we can assume that Dumbledore was at least somewhat familiar with them and maybe had some knowledge of the physical changes that would come from making them. But that's all just assumption bc we're not giving a lot from the books.
1) I'm not sure if Riddle's beauty as a man is totally natural. Many ways of disguise exist in the wizarding world, and I'm sure he knew it all. If his looks got worse after his first two or three Horcruxes, he could hide it easily. 2) Dumbledore might have a strong hatred about Horcruxes being learnable through the Hogwarts library, but he can only hide what the books write about. Voldemort is the first ever wizard known to make more than one. No matter how much of a genius he is, if something has never been done before, even he can only guess its effects.
If I remember correctly, the trick or treater who encountered Voldemort in Godric’s Hollow, prior to his murders of James and Lily, saw Voldemort in the same form as he reappeared in Goblet of Fire, meaning Voldemort had already completed his transformation by the time he only had five horcruxes. BUT since we also know from the memory of Dumbledore interviewing Voldemort for the DADA position that Voldemort hasn’t completed his transformation at that point, it is possible that the horcruxes has nothing to do with his altered appearance at all. Unlike Grindelwald, who gathered his followers by his seductive speeches and arguments, Voldemort’s power primarily derived from fear and his looks could have played a part in that. I always interpreted his transformation as him simply wanting to resemble a monster more than a man.
@@leventebardossy5962 his father, tom riddle sr, is described as very handsome. it's why merope gaunt was so interested in him. i think there's every reason to think he was just naturally good-looking, especially since he seems to not care that much when he loses his good looks.
@@thomasjeppesen3055 i don't remember any detail about a trick or treater seeing voldemort before he murdered the potters... do you know what book that's in?
I feel like he was more dangerous when he was younger and attractive cause he was able to charm his way out of anything and use his charms to get what he wants
Rowling has said she told someone about the complete process of creating a horcrux, but the guy then immediately vomited and so she decided to not reveal the process publicly.
Yeah I'm gonna call bs on that. People say shit like that to drum up hype and mystery. It's why Lovecraft's works are still so loved, because we get very little as to how the monsters work, so it's left to imagination.
@@morpheuslordofoneiroi3293 that form was the result of a potion he invented, I believe, and had Wormtail brew. One of its ingredients was Nagini's venom. It was basically a homunculus, just a temporary shell for his soul to inhabit
J.K Rowling didn't "come up with" horcruxes...she just took an already existing, well known fantasy trope and renamed it!!! A phylactery or "soul jar" is an object in which a Cleric or spell caster creates in order to complete the process of becoming a lich! Which was Voldemort's plan....just like Sauron and the "one ring"! They were both lichs!
Hey everyone! When RUclips pops Dean's videos up for a star rating and review, make sure you give him 5 stars and check everything applicable in the review! He deserves to be bumped up in the algorithms by all means possible for such great work on this channel.
I’m actually uncertain whether his body transformation was a byproduct of the obscene amount of Horcruxes he created. Wasn’t it stated in the books, he willfully altered his appearance to resemble a monster more than a man? Wasn’t that part of his “everyone should fear him” ploy? I mean, even before he has made Harry and Nagini into horcruxes he already looks exactly like he does when he returns in goblet of Fire.
no he didn't. in dumbledore's memory of him applying for the DADA job, harry says "His features were not those Harry had seen emerge from the great stone cauldron almost two years ago: They were not as snake-like, the eyes were not yet scarlet, the face not yet masklike, and yet he was no longer handsome Tom Riddle." and this is after he'd already made five of his horcruxes.
Actually, Rowling stated in an interview that Harry wasn't a true horcrux because Voldemort didn't do the necessary steps that's normally done but she had Dumbledore say that "he (harry) was the horcrux he (Voldemort) never meant to make" for simplicity sakes.
Probably both cannibalism and necrophilia cause i cant really think anything worse than either of those... Cannibalism, surprisingly isnt nearly as dark as you think considering there are cultures that do it and think nothing of it as its done as a means of corpse disposal and those cultures arent considered EVIL. But there's no cultural backing for necrophilia. The snake component would probably have something to do with basilisk venom? As its a powerful snake we know of in the franchise. Probably a bunch of plant toxins, animal parts and such that have to do with souls, division, death and life. Probably unicorn blood and/or those little dues that judge whether or not if someone is pure of heart, as killing one of them is considered an atrocity... probably alot of killing of magical creatures that are considered good omens. And it probably takes a while to perform needing flesh to be added last, and the defiling assault of a corpse for the proper ritual to take hold? Perhaps, the reason harry was an accidental horcrux..., or, perhaps the reason t harry as a horcux wasnt ever taken over by voldemort was because the ritual wasnt complete. The diary and the locket were corrupting the people who poured their emotions into it. Presumably the diadem and cup would have done the same thing. Nagini was a loyal servant, and she Presumably had no human mind of her own anymore making it possible that voldemort's soul would have corrupted her as well. It stands to reason that, in order for the horcrux to gain "sentience" it has to drain the life-force from someone else? Making living horcruxes too risky as they tend to have minds and wills of their own, but if their mind is fully or mostly animal, there would be little to no resistance. Hence the inanimate objects for most of them. Harry being made into a horcrux likely suppressed the soul fragment. And it never FOUGHT him unless voldemort was near. Voldemort couldnt control harry becayse he never completed the dark ritual for the soul fragment to siphon off harry's power. I dont know. But it makes a hell of alot of sense.
Creating horcruxes is like creating your own cursed existence, hell on earth and hell in the afterlife with no way out. That is the price for immortality and nobody would really want this
Here's a thought: if the making of one or more Horcruxes imparts "serpentine" qualities, and if there rally is (as @barbequearea suggests below) ther is a danger of becoming animalistic through overruse, then one also has to ask: what if these traits are *hereditary*? Could Nagini, for example, be descended from a Horcrux-user, transfigured by the sins for her family's past? (That would certainly explain why Voldemort was drawn to her as a pet.)
The "dark thing" that Rowling will never reveal is heavily believed or interpreted to be cannibalism, but that can't be right. He made Harry a horcrux without intending to, and so whatever this "dark thing" is, it has to also be something that he didn't realise he was doing. Which makes me believe it is some form of self harm, it seems to be the only thing that fits. Or suicide, which would imply he survived his death multiple times prior to the curse rebounding due to the creation process of these horcruxes. Just thoughts I'm throwing out into words here
I think dumbledore theorized that at the time Voldemort attacked Harry, his soul had been split so many times and was so unstable that a piece broke off after the rebounded curse and attached to the closest living thing; Harry
Probably necrophilia, the idea being that the Horcrux ritual, intended to save one from death, should be a perversion of normal sex as a way of creating life
Yes but they are undead and the whole soul is displaced not just merely a piece. In Hp lore the wizard remains alive. One could argue that keeping part of the soul in the main body is what makes that change.
I think a very important point we always ignore is how the Horcrux creations, changed his mindset. to split up your soul cant just only change your look. i think it drives you mad, turns you into something unnatural without human emotions. i think before the first Horcrux , voldemort or more tom wasnt the monster we new. yes he murdered someone but he was clear on his mind, but with each on he was going more and more insane. why he needed more than one? he could hide the diary in the chamber and would be immortal, case closed but i think with the first one, he craved more going less rational. "why one? with two i could be more...secure" and with each one he became more of a monster, a creature of the night with less human thinking. thats why he was so obsessed with harry. rational would it be to say: he hes just a boy, we have several dark wizards here, so my man can kill him." irrational was to say: "stay out of it, i want it to do!" like an animal, wanting to kill what had hurt him. and in the end, this was his downfall. he had all this power but his war against hogwarts was irrational and driven by pure anger, fear and without human thinking.
Also when Fred and George opened their shop and at the end of that scene it showed a boy and a girl getting chocolates from a machine they kinda looked like the actors that played Harry’s kids later on
Comment all the time(no) but always tuned in to watch and listen to every upload Cool video Dean..Creating those Horcruxes honestly and obviously messed with his physical appearance turning Voldemort into someone very ugly!! I have two questions What fan made movie clips are you using? Are you planning on doing another Voldemort animated adventure?
I think a big part of making horcrux is also no ounce of remorse for the victim. They cannot care. No guilt about it what so ever. The first horcrux was actually the Diary though, wasn't it? I mean the death of the Riddles was in August, 1943 as Tom killed them over the summer, and Myrtle died June 13th in 1943. The next one after the ring was probably the Locket, and then the Cup, and I say the locket first because he'd want that one to be his horcrux first, but then probably would have been done very close together. Then the Diadum, that one is tricky because it's clear he's hiding it when he visits Dumbledore to ask for a job, but perhaps he already found it after he left Hogwarts and just was hanging onto it before finding a good hiding spot.
I think Tom realised that his appearance was going and was shocked at first then I think he when he didn’t wanna be Tom riddle anymore he could use the appearance changing to his advantage so no one would recognise him (obvs dumbeldore did) but that’s bc he figured out toms dark nature
i like to think that voldemort wasn't fully snake-like until after he was revived in the graveyard in TGOF. after all, the little baby-body he was using before then was supposed to be nursed on nagini's venom, so it makes sense that much of his snakelike features are the result of him literally using snake venom to recreate a body. when he appears on the back of quirrell's head in SS, he has a nose and mostly looks human, albeit pinched and weird. in dumbledore's memory of voldemort applying for the defense against the dark arts job, harry says "His features were not those Harry had seen emerge from the great stone cauldron almost two years ago: They were not as snake-like, the eyes were not yet scarlet, the face not yet masklike, and yet he was no longer handsome Tom Riddle." so no scarlet eyes yet and presumably he still has a nose, and this was ten years after he murdered hepzibah smith. by this point he had made almost all of his horcruxes; only nagini and harry himself were left. so in my headcanon, horcruxes may change your appearance some, but they're not going to really alter your appearance that much. voldemort looks so snake-like because his original body was fully destroyed and he had to build a whole new one, out of snake venom (and the bone of the father, flesh of the servant, and blood of the enemy). it's also interesting to me that at this time, voldemort's eyes were not yet scarlet. when harry and ron open the locket to destroy it, they say that tom riddle's blue eye was inside it, staring out at them. i like the idea that with each horcrux, he's losing an element of what makes him HIM, and to make the locket, he had to give up his handsome blue eyes. that idea conflicts with canon but i still like it. also... gross that he picked WORMTAIL's flesh to build his body out of. i suppose he didn't have much choice at that point, but had it been me i would have at least picked barty jr. wormtail is gross in every way and i can't imagine the contempt voldemort had for him
I have to wonder how much the form of his soul changed from horcrux to horcrux. By this I mean how it would have appeared in the purgatory place where Harry met it in 1998.
No wonder that Herpo and Owle Bullock probably created only 1 Horcrux. Besides how horrific it is to even create one, one Horcrux doesn't change you all that much. So by the 4th you don't look human anymore I see. I think part of the process of creating one, is probably to decide how much of your soul are you willing to lose with each use. There must be a limitation of Horcruxes that you can create. But what about the temporary Horcrux in Quirrell? Is that doesn't count or what? Anyway fascinating video well done.
There's definitely a limitation on the number of times you can SAFELY split your soul; after that, it's so unstable that it can split on its own (which is what happened when Voldy tried to kill baby Harry). Also Quirrell wasn't a Horcrux. Voldy didn't kill anyone to possess him; Quirrell willingly became his host
@@marcushendriksen8415 Yes I figured. Also Rowling herself said that Quirinus Quirrell became a temporary Horcrux by Voldemort. Quirrell killed Unicorns under his control, so technically it is a murder. That is an information released by Rowling, to the best of my understanding after the series has ended. She said so on Pottermore. So when the writer said it it's undeniable.
@@marcushendriksen8415 All cool man. Let us just agree that creating even one is bad enough. Besides Herpo, Owle Bullock who wrote the book Voldemort has taken the instructions from and Voldemort himself, I am pretty sure that through out the history, there were few more wizards and witches who created Horcruxes. My logic says that if it was only two people before Voldemort, how and why such clear instructions will be there. Bullock must have had at least one.
Nothing is ever mentioned about the Horcruxes protecting you from the natural process of aging. So wouldn't Voldemort's body have eventually withered away and died?
Great vid man, got me wondering about this in Hogwarts legacy! Even tho we probs won’t be able to make them, I wonder if there will be any visual effects on our character if we choose the dark path
there isn't, aside from some wisps of green energy around the character after using the killing curse, but that only lasts a moment. otherwise there's honestly zero consequence for using the unforgivables, either in gameplay or story
8:03 So you do admit that Voldemort is more powerful than Grindelwald. Thank you. This nonsense with Grindelwald is more powerful than Voldemort needs to end.
I don't think it happened quite the way you describe. It says in Half-Blood Prince that when Voldemort returned to Hogwarts to try for the DADA post again, "his features ... were not as snakelike, the eyes were not yet scarlet, the face not yet masklike, and yet he was no longer handsome Tom Riddle. It was as though his features had been burned and blurred; they were waxy and oddly distorted, and the whites of the eyes now had a permanent bloody look..."
Always wondered if Voldemort look like the way he did before or after his infamous encounter with Harry Potter…was the resurrection potion in goblet of fire the reason Voldemort looked the way he did? I’ve read the books and watched the films multiple times yet that question has always stuck with me on whether Voldemort looked the way he did before, during, or after the first wizarding war.
my guess on that is yeah, he looked the same (or at least similar enough) because Fudge and all them recognized it was him at the end of the Order of the Phoenix
@@davidriedy5977 that is true, there was most definitely some semblance and like it was said in the video about Voldemort wearing a hood becomes more understandable with the possibility of horcruxes coming with some side effects
He did look like that when he met Harry. When his face is revealed in the first book, he looks just like he did upon return. In that moment, he still is before making Nagini as a Horcrux.
@@leventebardossy5962 I don’t quite remember his face being described but I do remember him wearing a hood during that night. I’m Deathly Hallows when it describes Voldemort as he is scoping out the hidden potter residence where two young children look at him and become terrified at how he looks believing it is some terrifying Halloween mask. Just couldn’t say for sure if he looked that way entirely before or after the fateful night when he lost.
@@CB-THE-OG I meant the face in the back of Quirrell's head. It looks the same as the one that emerges from the cauldron three years later, based on the description in the book, as Harry remembers it.
Maybe... This is a big maybe; but Basilisk venom might be a requirement. At the time he had an unlimited supply of it in the Chamber of Secrets. If not a Basilisk then at least a potent snake venom. Considering snake venom can kill; and save lives. Voldemort said he regained his body from a spell of his own making; and the venom from Nagini sustains him.
When the best idea to make one would be to put it on an object and then put it object in like a Time distorted world or something and now let anybody know about it or leave a hint of it so then you'd be able to potentially live forever without the item even decaying
Hi I'd like to ask. When should expect to watch the next in the animation sieries? please I would like to know so I don't have to wait to be under pressure when I hear that you've uploaded. I always love and watch your videos but I am getting under pressure because I don't when it is coming out. I am under pressure because I keeping hearing that you've uploaded but it isn't the next animation episode. Like I said I Still love your videos but again Its just a bit to much excitement not to know
You never list your sources for example where Tom revolution making the goblet horcrux... Okay I don't know I have not seen the live action play or the last released fantastic beasts movie so I guess it could be from there but where do you get that clip. Also in the books and movies it never states that after making a second horcrux the diary that he starts losing his hair and and starts losing his natural handsomeness... Where do you get your info
I think it’d be more likely that his features would have slid off like a snake shedding its skin. It’s likely that after some point he went through the painful experience of his flesh ripping open and sliding right off of his body and that the healing process would’ve been excruciating and that in some part when he’s returned to hogwarts to apply for the DADA post he’s had to use transfiguration to make it seem like he’s ordinary
I think it can be inferred that to make a Horcrux, you must first commit murder without feeling guilt for it, then you hold onto that conviction until to find something you want to split your soul into. You then use that murder like a conduit to funnel the split part of your soul into the new Horcrux, and boom, you got yourself a Horcrux
I'd love to see a series of videos made on what other characters might end up looking like had they broken their soul as much as Voldemort. They wouldn't all become 🐍 like, right?
i don't think so. i imagine the process would make you more like whatever animal your soul resembles, much like becoming an animagus. jk rowling herself has gone down a dark path in the past few years. i imagine that if she were really in the world she created, as her soul got more twisted she would start looking more and more owl-like - white skin, sharp, hooked nose and small mouth, big yellow eyes. she's convinced herself that she's right and smarter than everyone going against her, and she likes maintaining a lofty moral high ground while really being a vicious, clawed thing that attacks creatures much weaker than herself. she would become like an owl. brianna ghey would be one of the murders that splits her soul.
I figured Tom Riddle’s death by his own hand was the sacrifice needed to split his soul one more time in an unstable way, thus latching onto the only living thing nearby rather than an Object.
we know that it changed SOME, according to dumbledore's memory of voldemort applying for the DADA job. at that time, after he's made five of his seven horcruxes, he's described as "waxy" and "no longer handsome tom riddle" but it also says that "his features were not those harry had seen emerge from the great stone cauldron" and that his eyes were not yet scarlet and his face not yet masklike. but i do think the extreme snake-like appearance he shows after being revived has more to do with using nagini's venom to build a new body than the horcruxes.
Based on JK being so hesitant to reveal this "dark deed" that must be done in the ritual (assuming the Murder mentioned is merely to split his soul and is seperate from the ritual to create the Horcrux) and considering we've witnessed voldemort order the murder of Cedric Diggory, my guess, and apologies cause this is super dark, is that Voldemort has to sacrifice a child. This could explain how Harry became an unintended Horcrux when Voldemort attempted to murder him. (spoilers for the stage play, Harry Potter Cursed Child) this might also explain why Voldemort would choose to conceive a child with Bellatrix. He's arrogant enough to believe he can live forever and feels no love for anyone. Any child of his would only be a threat to him laterbon. He was probably planning to use Bellatrix and his child to create his last Horcrux.
No the real reason why she didn't go into details because remember what happened when Slenderman became a thing a girl stabbed and killed someone in sacrifice of him
I also remember the story about her telling the editor how they were made and the woman being a little sick at the thought. All in all, a good thing it's never stated.
I have little to no basis to this theory, but what if the unspeakable act of the horcruz is to seal not only one's soul but the soul of the person that they murdered into the horcrux making their soul a patron to the horcrux and in a state of limbo where they can't be freed. It would make sense with harry and nagini
This whole thing does remind me of how Orochimaru changes bodies when whichever body started to break down and the snake “form” Orochimaru took made up of smaller white snakes during the process in the physical realm
Can I ask - those videos that you're using, the ones that are not from the original movies - where are they from? I mean - for example - the one where he goes through his hair and sees some of it left in his hand?
Now I think you are wrong at this point. By the time Tom returned to Hogwarts to apply for DADA job, he had already made the diadem a horcrux. And yes his facial features were quite withered at this point but he still had the nose. And its known that Tom had his nose until his downfall the first time in Godric's hollow. The slits in place of a nose is attribute to the ritual that was used to bring him back to a complete body and not the horcrux creation.
Does making horcruxes split the soul into consecutive halves or equal sizes that one chooses based on how many they want to make? If in half then the first horcrux would contain half of the soul, the second one would have a quarter and so on.
The only thing about Voldemort that has always bothered me is where did his nose go? The mystery of the disappearance of the Dark Lord's nose is the biggest mystery for me.
Who is Voldemort? To the blind, he is the light. To the hungry, he is the bread. To the sick, he is the cure. To the lonely, he is the company. To the sad, he is the joy. To the prisoner, he is the freedom. For me, he is everything.
Videos about Tom Riddle actually intrest me the most. He is so mysterious and Rowling basiclly left us with not much info about him. This is why your work is so valuable
Same!
Have you had a chance to read Half-Blood Prince? The book goes into way more detail about Tom Riddle’s past where the movie just sort of glosses over it.
Are you a movie-only fan? Because in the books there was a lot of info about him, mostley in the Halfblood Prince, that was almost all about him
This comment might come over as Rude, that is not my intention, just wanted to share my opinion
Damn, 3 people beat me to the punch. That won't stop me from saying you should read the books, all of them.
Sameeee
The Dark Arts are a pathway to many possibilities, some are considered to be unnatural.
Yes, young padewan.
Good call, my young padawan!
It did occur to me while watching this that in some ways, the appearance factor the video focuses on could be a comparable feature between Voldemort and Vader. Both became something terrifying and unnatural through their pursuit of power.
@@AustynSN He’s more like Palpatine though (he IS the dark arts)
Is it possible to learn this power?
The reason I think why Voldemort decided to stop after making seven Horcruxes and didn't make anymore, even to replace the ones the Golden Trio had destroyed was because he may have been afraid the next one will strip him of his intelligence. Little by little the Horcruxes had chipped away at his humanity. The more horcruxes he made the more animalistic and less human he became. It's possible that the next Horcrux he creates could have turned him into an unintelligible rabid beast, one devoid of mental capacity and cunning, and living off primal instinct. Perhaps Voldemort was aware of this and thought it wasn't worth the risk.
its because 7 is the magic number in the harry potter world
He says why he made 7 🤦♂️
It is confirmed Tom made 7 due to it being the magic number in law and Tom was the type to like symbolism and was up himself and thought he was better than others, plus he loved hogwarts and wanted to keep that connection by placing his soul inside the houses treasures,
But I do like your interpretation and it could definately be something to consider along with tom's obsession with the number 7. After all, when your physical body and moral mentality is taken what's left other than reason?
Doubtful. At some point Dumbledore outright says that though his soul is absolutely mangled, Voldemort's intellect and magical ability remain as great as they ever were. Soz
I just can't imagine a 50 percent reduction wouldn't have had a serious effect on destorying what was left of his body. The diary held the largest half and the snake was the last piece. All in all I doubt he could have done more. The tome itself as Mrs. Granger stated it warned the reader what consequences could follow.
I think a Riddle TV series is where the franchise should go.
Season 1 start with the orphanage and the cave and end with him discovering he is Slytherin's heir.
Season 2 finish Hogwarts and show the creation of the first Horcruxes.
Season 3 show what happened before he interviews with Dumbledore and end with him hiding the Diadem in the Room of Requirement.
Season 4 the prelude to the first Wizarding War.
Season 5 the war and end with Godric's Hollow.
What are your thoughts?
Better than What we have now
How about a dumbledore show to I want to know more about arianna
Snape would probably be in the last two seasons, and I honestly don't think it would be as good without Alan Rickman.
@@Kaylaw9agree, Alan played the hell out of Snape
There doesn’t need to be 5 seasons, make it at least a few seasons starting maybe at the end of hogwarts or when he makes his first horcrux. Follow all the horcruxs and the start of the wizarding war with his first downfall.
I imagine horcruxes have a ‘deal with the devil’ style lore to them, yes you’re immortal, but have to ‘live’ fragmented in inanimate objects once your body is completely gone and have no one to latch onto.
Sort of Death’s way of punishing those who try to get away from ‘him’/it, just like how death caught up to the Peverell Brothers
Well, voldemort's entire body was destroyed, and he continued to live disembodied for 13 years with only sporadic periods of possessing people.
Caught up, with 2 of them. The 3rd wasn't caught, he greeted death like an old friend. He could have kept the cloak on for longer.
I would say that the horcruxes made him snake-like, but also not snake-like. Describing him as a walking skeleton is a much better description I think. He came so close to the undead, without actually dying and pass over. The horcruxes allowed him to have one foot on the side of the living and the other on the side of the dead, thus making him immortal.
Given how much he already knew about the dark arts even at age 16, I believe he must have been aware to a degree about the consequences of his grand immortality project, specially with regards to his physical appearance. It is understood both in and outside of the Harry Potter universe that the extensive use of dark magic will deform the sorcerer and make them look like the monster they are on the inside (it is in fact a common trope in fiction, Star Wars does it with Palpatine). Surely Riddle knew but just did not care, power was far more important than good looks to him seeing as he never showed any interest in anything else. Come to think of it since his looks came from the father he so despised he might have been happy with the result as a mark of his superiority as a wizard.
I think you're right that Voldemort didn't value his looks. He probably saw anything that made him less human and more powerful as an improvement. "This is an optimized dark wizard. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like."
@@johndaniel7161 So he says before he goes all "Avada Kedavra / Crucio" on you just for having the temerity to ask ahahahahaha Besides apparently he never showed interest in relationships as a teenager, the closest we get is him using his good looks on Hepzibah so he could take the Hufflepuff Cup, once he got it he had no further use for that sort of thing and he clearly prefers threats, torture and murder as means of persuasion.
@@johndaniel7161 Plus his looks tied him to his muggle father.
@Augustus077.
I agree with you!
He so hated that his father was a muggle that he probably was "proud" that he was eliminating his muggle part of himself from his magical world.
I think that's a great point, about rejecting his father's looks for his monstrous, fragmented soul
I think that Voldemort looked more human in the first war than in the secound. During one of Harry's lessons with Dumbledore were they looked into pensive we see a glimpse of how Voldemort looked in his mid transformations. The dark magick did take a hevy tool on his apparence however he wasen't fully bald and his nose haden't fully disapeed. Att that poit he had five horcruxes, the diary, the locket, the ring, the cup and the diadem. He didn't create anymore horcruxes until that night in Godric's Hollow were the spell backfired on him and his final horcrux being the snake. So based on that I would say that Voldemort looked more like the way he was when he returned to Hogwarts to apply to the DADA position in 1971 rather than his apparence in the secound war in 1995.
Its also possible that the condition of ones body is likely degenerative
You dont instantly lose your nose when you make 6 horcruxes, but rather the cartilege dissipates over time. We know when he saw dumbledore that his nose wasnt as prominent, and its likely that soon after it disappeared
His hair was patchy, how long til it fell out completely?
Like if its essentially alopecia its rare for ones hair to fall out entirely very quickly. Usually it takes a while and the person ends up shaving it off at a certain point anyway as the patchiness becomes to prominent to be worth what little hair is left
Many physical changes were because of the usage of venom from his snake Nagini before his return in Harry's fourth year 🐍
In his first reign as the Dark Lord, he propably looked more like he did in the first movie on the back of Quirrell's head 🎭
I also think that right before Voldemort killed Harry's parents and tried to kill him he looked still more lhuman than snake. Perhaps he looked like he was described in Dumbledore's memory? Or he was already bald, red-eye but still had a human nose.
@@andrzejzborowski4920 between Dumbledore's memory and his "death", he didn't make any Horcrux. He was still the same
@@fedeeeeee yesterday I thought abot why he brought diadem to Hogwarts?? He was sure Dumbledore wouldn't hire him. Why the Albanian forest was no longer safe?
@@andrzejzborowski4920 because he wanted to hide them in places that were significant to himself. The Albanian forest might be a great hiding place, but a place that had no value to him
Not that much since everyone at the ministry recognizes him at a glance as voldemort in book 5
He definately closely resembled the figure we saw after his return enough that he was instantly recognizable as old moldy voldy
I cant be the only one who would literally listen to your videos if you read an HP book chapter by chapter. Audiobook style.
You’re not.😌I’d love to hear him read the Harry Potter books.
That's the thing that is so frustrating for me personally as well! I get that JKR didn't want to tell about the horcruxes in the very beginning, when most of us were still very young as well. But the PotterHeads (like myself) who grew up with the books and movies are all grownups now. I mean i'm 36! It would be so interesting to see a very dark movie about the dark arts and Tom Riddle becoming Voldemort, on the search of his power etc... I would not only like to see how a Horcrux work but also how his mom did slip the love potion into his dad's drink. I would like to actually see his story. Completely! Also the applying of professor for the DADA! His changes of appearance along the way. I think there is still so much left to tell.
Also, the fact that Harry is an "unwanted" horcrux means that the ritual didn't happen. It's a part of Voldemort's soul that latched on him. A bit as if he was possessed like Prof. Quirl. Though in a very different way of course. But the fact that the ritual didn't happen means that the possibility of cannibalism is still a possibility as well. I honestly can't really see what is more repulsive than killing someone and then eat a body part. (Maybe the heart or something.) I mean, sure, there could be visual wounds but with magic, almost anything is possible. And then, of course, we also have the "Death EATERS."
I always wondered if Voldemort was always bald before attempting to kill Harry as an infant.
Wondered myself 😂
I just think of that bald French guy who played him in house of gaunt which is a short film based on how he was born etc he's got a full head of hair when you first see him but at the end my god 😂😂😂 you just gotta see it... funny as fk
I don't mean it's funny as fuck as in its a bad short I gotta kinda correct that lol, it's actually one of the best I've seen since severus snape and the mauraders I'd dare say a little better, just how voldemort looks by the end is hilarious
This also begs the question if whether or not transfiguration could still be used to “fix” the physical changes. Would a Metamorphagus be able to just shift their features back once the physical changes occurred or would the dark magic impede or negate them from doing so?
Thank you so much! For years, I have often wondered what Voldemort's appearance was like as he slowly changed.
This should have more views, great video!
Great video Dean. Keep up the good work and producing great content.
One of my theories is that the spell to create the horucrux has to be spoken in parseltongue based on the only know creators of horucruxs are herpo and voldemort
I really like your stuff but this isn't accurate. The diary was his first Horcrux. It was also mentioned that Voldemort was very handsome when working for Borgin and Burkes and that's a contributing factor to him being able to charm Hepzibah Smith to reveal Salazar Slytherin's locket before he killed her and stole it. So I think we could assume that the first two Horcruxes had very little effect (if any) on his physical appearance. And it wasn't until he reappeared at Hogwarts to apply for the DADA job and had his 5th horcrux (the Diadem) that Harry notices in the memory that his facial features are 'waxy' like he's becoming less human and his eyes are red although not yet snake-like. His reincarnated body that is part snake bc he used Nagini's venom in the potion isn't what I think his human body had deteriorated to with his dark magic and the creation of the horcruxes. Even with the 6 horcruxes, he was still very much human. Or at least that's what I'm going off with the literature bc there's not much canon on his physical transformation. Dumbledore didn't know it was horcruxes until the end of Chamber of Secrets. So I think had Voldemort had such a drastic deterioration of his physical body before murdering the Potters that it would have been a bigger tip-off. Slughorn tells Riddle that Dumbledore has a special hatred of horcruxes and that he's removed all references to them from the library. So I think we can assume that Dumbledore was at least somewhat familiar with them and maybe had some knowledge of the physical changes that would come from making them. But that's all just assumption bc we're not giving a lot from the books.
1) I'm not sure if Riddle's beauty as a man is totally natural. Many ways of disguise exist in the wizarding world, and I'm sure he knew it all. If his looks got worse after his first two or three Horcruxes, he could hide it easily.
2) Dumbledore might have a strong hatred about Horcruxes being learnable through the Hogwarts library, but he can only hide what the books write about. Voldemort is the first ever wizard known to make more than one. No matter how much of a genius he is, if something has never been done before, even he can only guess its effects.
If I remember correctly, the trick or treater who encountered Voldemort in Godric’s Hollow, prior to his murders of James and Lily, saw Voldemort in the same form as he reappeared in Goblet of Fire, meaning Voldemort had already completed his transformation by the time he only had five horcruxes.
BUT since we also know from the memory of Dumbledore interviewing Voldemort for the DADA position that Voldemort hasn’t completed his transformation at that point, it is possible that the horcruxes has nothing to do with his altered appearance at all. Unlike Grindelwald, who gathered his followers by his seductive speeches and arguments, Voldemort’s power primarily derived from fear and his looks could have played a part in that.
I always interpreted his transformation as him simply wanting to resemble a monster more than a man.
@@thomasjeppesen3055 It says that Voldemort also did other dark magical experiments that made him more powerful but less human.
@@leventebardossy5962 his father, tom riddle sr, is described as very handsome. it's why merope gaunt was so interested in him. i think there's every reason to think he was just naturally good-looking, especially since he seems to not care that much when he loses his good looks.
@@thomasjeppesen3055 i don't remember any detail about a trick or treater seeing voldemort before he murdered the potters... do you know what book that's in?
I feel like he was more dangerous when he was younger and attractive cause he was able to charm his way out of anything and use his charms to get what he wants
Rowling has said she told someone about the complete process of creating a horcrux, but the guy then immediately vomited and so she decided to not reveal the process publicly.
That’s gotta be bullshit
Yeah I'm gonna call bs on that. People say shit like that to drum up hype and mystery. It's why Lovecraft's works are still so loved, because we get very little as to how the monsters work, so it's left to imagination.
Thanks for another well detailed video! I really love your passion for Harry Potter!
Great videos. I tune in daily.
Fun fact, J.K. Rowling was likely inspired by the Russian folk tale of a Wizard named Koschei the Deathless.
Plot Twist: Voldemort's last horcrux was his NOSE...
Hey Dean I love your vids keep up the good work
Which Horcrux did Wormtail use to ultimately restore Voldemort in Goblet of Fire??
it was not a horcrux it, was his own hand, voldemorts fathers bone, and harrys blood.
@@xJuno641 I'm talking about before that ritual at the end. He already had a physical presence while at The Riddle House in the beginning.
@@morpheuslordofoneiroi3293 im pretty sure that was him from when harry destroyed the diary, and he was just weak. but I actually don't know for sure
@@morpheuslordofoneiroi3293 that form was the result of a potion he invented, I believe, and had Wormtail brew. One of its ingredients was Nagini's venom. It was basically a homunculus, just a temporary shell for his soul to inhabit
J.K Rowling didn't "come up with" horcruxes...she just took an already existing, well known fantasy trope and renamed it!!! A phylactery or "soul jar" is an object in which a Cleric or spell caster creates in order to complete the process of becoming a lich! Which was Voldemort's plan....just like Sauron and the "one ring"! They were both lichs!
Hey everyone! When RUclips pops Dean's videos up for a star rating and review, make sure you give him 5 stars and check everything applicable in the review! He deserves to be bumped up in the algorithms by all means possible for such great work on this channel.
I hope she just comes out & tells us someday… I really wanna know how one creates a horcrux.
Thinking about trying it?
@@DominicPreece88 yes
I’m actually uncertain whether his body transformation was a byproduct of the obscene amount of Horcruxes he created. Wasn’t it stated in the books, he willfully altered his appearance to resemble a monster more than a man? Wasn’t that part of his “everyone should fear him” ploy? I mean, even before he has made Harry and Nagini into horcruxes he already looks exactly like he does when he returns in goblet of Fire.
I think the eyes aren't his doing though. They say the eyes are the window to the soul, and if he's split his the red eyes could be his soul bleeding.
no he didn't. in dumbledore's memory of him applying for the DADA job, harry says "His features were not those Harry had seen emerge from the great stone cauldron almost two years ago: They were not as snake-like, the eyes were not yet scarlet, the face not yet masklike, and yet he was no longer handsome Tom Riddle." and this is after he'd already made five of his horcruxes.
Nah, only his new body looks like that
Actually, Rowling stated in an interview that Harry wasn't a true horcrux because Voldemort didn't do the necessary steps that's normally done but she had Dumbledore say that "he (harry) was the horcrux he (Voldemort) never meant to make" for simplicity sakes.
Probably both cannibalism and necrophilia cause i cant really think anything worse than either of those...
Cannibalism, surprisingly isnt nearly as dark as you think considering there are cultures that do it and think nothing of it as its done as a means of corpse disposal and those cultures arent considered EVIL.
But there's no cultural backing for necrophilia.
The snake component would probably have something to do with basilisk venom? As its a powerful snake we know of in the franchise. Probably a bunch of plant toxins, animal parts and such that have to do with souls, division, death and life.
Probably unicorn blood and/or those little dues that judge whether or not if someone is pure of heart, as killing one of them is considered an atrocity... probably alot of killing of magical creatures that are considered good omens.
And it probably takes a while to perform needing flesh to be added last, and the defiling assault of a corpse for the proper ritual to take hold?
Perhaps, the reason harry was an accidental horcrux..., or, perhaps the reason t harry as a horcux wasnt ever taken over by voldemort was because the ritual wasnt complete. The diary and the locket were corrupting the people who poured their emotions into it. Presumably the diadem and cup would have done the same thing. Nagini was a loyal servant, and she Presumably had no human mind of her own anymore making it possible that voldemort's soul would have corrupted her as well.
It stands to reason that, in order for the horcrux to gain "sentience" it has to drain the life-force from someone else? Making living horcruxes too risky as they tend to have minds and wills of their own, but if their mind is fully or mostly animal, there would be little to no resistance. Hence the inanimate objects for most of them.
Harry being made into a horcrux likely suppressed the soul fragment. And it never FOUGHT him unless voldemort was near. Voldemort couldnt control harry becayse he never completed the dark ritual for the soul fragment to siphon off harry's power.
I dont know. But it makes a hell of alot of sense.
Creating horcruxes is like creating your own cursed existence, hell on earth and hell in the afterlife with no way out. That is the price for immortality and nobody would really want this
Have always wanted to see a video like this one!
Here's a thought: if the making of one or more Horcruxes imparts "serpentine" qualities, and if there rally is (as @barbequearea suggests below) ther is a danger of becoming animalistic through overruse, then one also has to ask: what if these traits are *hereditary*? Could Nagini, for example, be descended from a Horcrux-user, transfigured by the sins for her family's past? (That would certainly explain why Voldemort was drawn to her as a pet.)
I enjoy all yea videos dean
1:26 what fan film did you use?
Le Maitre de la mort
@@HarryPotterFolklore thanks 😀
This is a great video!!
Also what fan film is this that you are showing clips of in this video 📹
The "dark thing" that Rowling will never reveal is heavily believed or interpreted to be cannibalism, but that can't be right.
He made Harry a horcrux without intending to, and so whatever this "dark thing" is, it has to also be something that he didn't realise he was doing.
Which makes me believe it is some form of self harm, it seems to be the only thing that fits.
Or suicide, which would imply he survived his death multiple times prior to the curse rebounding due to the creation process of these horcruxes.
Just thoughts I'm throwing out into words here
Maybe it's both. Murder and self-harm. As in both account for your intentional disregard for someone's life and yours.
I think dumbledore theorized that at the time Voldemort attacked Harry, his soul had been split so many times and was so unstable that a piece broke off after the rebounded curse and attached to the closest living thing; Harry
Ripping up his soul into seven piece's certainly counts as self harm.
Probably necrophilia, the idea being that the Horcrux ritual, intended to save one from death, should be a perversion of normal sex as a way of creating life
Could be pre ritual stuff and the murder is the final part
This is where u get liches. A lich is a sorcerer trying to become immortal but in doing so becomes a zombied 🧟♂ wizard 🧙🏻♂.
Yes but they are undead and the whole soul is displaced not just merely a piece. In Hp lore the wizard remains alive. One could argue that keeping part of the soul in the main body is what makes that change.
Good 👍
3:00 The diary was the first horcrux, not the ring. The ring was second.
I think a very important point we always ignore is how the Horcrux creations, changed his mindset. to split up your soul cant just only change your look. i think it drives you mad, turns you into something unnatural without human emotions. i think before the first Horcrux , voldemort or more tom wasnt the monster we new. yes he murdered someone but he was clear on his mind, but with each on he was going more and more insane. why he needed more than one? he could hide the diary in the chamber and would be immortal, case closed but i think with the first one, he craved more going less rational. "why one? with two i could be more...secure" and with each one he became more of a monster, a creature of the night with less human thinking. thats why he was so obsessed with harry. rational would it be to say: he hes just a boy, we have several dark wizards here, so my man can kill him." irrational was to say: "stay out of it, i want it to do!" like an animal, wanting to kill what had hurt him. and in the end, this was his downfall. he had all this power but his war against hogwarts was irrational and driven by pure anger, fear and without human thinking.
he asked Slughorn about the amount of 7 horcruxes before he even created one tho
I could get behind this if Tom didn't ask Slughorn about splitting into 7 right off the rip. Nah he knew what he was doing.
Also when Fred and George opened their shop and at the end of that scene it showed a boy and a girl getting chocolates from a machine they kinda looked like the actors that played Harry’s kids later on
When I was younger I always assumed he looked like this due to the dark resurrection in that graveyard
Samma här
Wrong, he looked the same when he killed Harry's parents and tried to kill Harry, and in that graveyard.
It says that Voldemort also went through other dark magical transformation of his body and mind that made him more powerful but less human.
Comment all the time(no) but always tuned in to watch and listen to every upload
Cool video Dean..Creating those Horcruxes honestly and obviously messed with his physical appearance turning Voldemort into someone very ugly!!
I have two questions
What fan made movie clips are you using?
Are you planning on doing another Voldemort animated adventure?
Brilliant video!
I think a big part of making horcrux is also no ounce of remorse for the victim. They cannot care. No guilt about it what so ever. The first horcrux was actually the Diary though, wasn't it? I mean the death of the Riddles was in August, 1943 as Tom killed them over the summer, and Myrtle died June 13th in 1943. The next one after the ring was probably the Locket, and then the Cup, and I say the locket first because he'd want that one to be his horcrux first, but then probably would have been done very close together. Then the Diadum, that one is tricky because it's clear he's hiding it when he visits Dumbledore to ask for a job, but perhaps he already found it after he left Hogwarts and just was hanging onto it before finding a good hiding spot.
I think the book also implied that creating the horcruxes May have also affected his voice.
I think Tom realised that his appearance was going and was shocked at first then I think he when he didn’t wanna be Tom riddle anymore he could use the appearance changing to his advantage so no one would recognise him (obvs dumbeldore did) but that’s bc he figured out toms dark nature
Very interesting summary!
This video would have been perfect for Keeps to sponsor! Balding Voldy would have been the perfect transition.
i like to think that voldemort wasn't fully snake-like until after he was revived in the graveyard in TGOF. after all, the little baby-body he was using before then was supposed to be nursed on nagini's venom, so it makes sense that much of his snakelike features are the result of him literally using snake venom to recreate a body. when he appears on the back of quirrell's head in SS, he has a nose and mostly looks human, albeit pinched and weird. in dumbledore's memory of voldemort applying for the defense against the dark arts job, harry says "His features were not those Harry had seen emerge from the great stone cauldron almost two years ago: They were not as snake-like, the eyes were not yet scarlet, the face not yet masklike, and yet he was no longer handsome Tom Riddle." so no scarlet eyes yet and presumably he still has a nose, and this was ten years after he murdered hepzibah smith. by this point he had made almost all of his horcruxes; only nagini and harry himself were left.
so in my headcanon, horcruxes may change your appearance some, but they're not going to really alter your appearance that much. voldemort looks so snake-like because his original body was fully destroyed and he had to build a whole new one, out of snake venom (and the bone of the father, flesh of the servant, and blood of the enemy).
it's also interesting to me that at this time, voldemort's eyes were not yet scarlet. when harry and ron open the locket to destroy it, they say that tom riddle's blue eye was inside it, staring out at them. i like the idea that with each horcrux, he's losing an element of what makes him HIM, and to make the locket, he had to give up his handsome blue eyes. that idea conflicts with canon but i still like it.
also... gross that he picked WORMTAIL's flesh to build his body out of. i suppose he didn't have much choice at that point, but had it been me i would have at least picked barty jr. wormtail is gross in every way and i can't imagine the contempt voldemort had for him
Awesome video
Gee, I wonder if there was a popular fantasy series where a dark lord places part of his power into a magical object. Oh well, off to Mt Doom.
The idea of a villian not being able to be destroyed by normal means ain’t new. Tolkien wasn’t the first either.
Excellent video 👍
I’d actually want to see Boldemort create each horcrux
I have to wonder how much the form of his soul changed from horcrux to horcrux. By this I mean how it would have appeared in the purgatory place where Harry met it in 1998.
What footage of young Tom did you use in the background? I don't remember watching some of the scenes in the movies
No wonder that Herpo and Owle Bullock probably created only 1 Horcrux. Besides how horrific it is to even create one, one Horcrux doesn't change you all that much. So by the 4th you don't look human anymore I see. I think part of the process of creating one, is probably to decide how much of your soul are you willing to lose with each use. There must be a limitation of Horcruxes that you can create. But what about the temporary Horcrux in Quirrell? Is that doesn't count or what? Anyway fascinating video well done.
There's definitely a limitation on the number of times you can SAFELY split your soul; after that, it's so unstable that it can split on its own (which is what happened when Voldy tried to kill baby Harry). Also Quirrell wasn't a Horcrux. Voldy didn't kill anyone to possess him; Quirrell willingly became his host
@@marcushendriksen8415 Yes I figured. Also Rowling herself said that Quirinus Quirrell became a temporary Horcrux by Voldemort. Quirrell killed Unicorns under his control, so technically it is a murder. That is an information released by Rowling, to the best of my understanding after the series has ended. She said so on Pottermore. So when the writer said it it's undeniable.
@@eranshachar9954 haha okay okay, I yield 🙌 I'm not terribly familiar with Pottermore lore (hey, that rhymes)
@@marcushendriksen8415 All cool man. Let us just agree that creating even one is bad enough. Besides Herpo, Owle Bullock who wrote the book Voldemort has taken the instructions from and Voldemort himself, I am pretty sure that through out the history, there were few more wizards and witches who created Horcruxes. My logic says that if it was only two people before Voldemort, how and why such clear instructions will be there. Bullock must have had at least one.
Nothing is ever mentioned about the Horcruxes protecting you from the natural process of aging. So wouldn't Voldemort's body have eventually withered away and died?
No if you create a horcrux you dont age anymore.
Sounds like the myth of Tithonus - what happened to him was not pretty.
Great vid man, got me wondering about this in Hogwarts legacy! Even tho we probs won’t be able to make them, I wonder if there will be any visual effects on our character if we choose the dark path
there isn't, aside from some wisps of green energy around the character after using the killing curse, but that only lasts a moment. otherwise there's honestly zero consequence for using the unforgivables, either in gameplay or story
Is the footage in this video from any of the movies? I don't recall any of it unless it was a deleted scene or extended cut off some kind
Voldemort's first horcrux was the diary not the ring
One of my favourite topics!!!
8:03 So you do admit that Voldemort is more powerful than Grindelwald. Thank you. This nonsense with Grindelwald is more powerful than Voldemort needs to end.
What’s the film name on the images of the video?
I don't think it happened quite the way you describe. It says in Half-Blood Prince that when Voldemort returned to Hogwarts to try for the DADA post again, "his features ... were not as snakelike, the eyes were not yet scarlet, the face not yet masklike, and yet he was no longer handsome Tom Riddle. It was as though his features had been burned and blurred; they were waxy and oddly distorted, and the whites of the eyes now had a permanent bloody look..."
Always wondered if Voldemort look like the way he did before or after his infamous encounter with Harry Potter…was the resurrection potion in goblet of fire the reason Voldemort looked the way he did? I’ve read the books and watched the films multiple times yet that question has always stuck with me on whether Voldemort looked the way he did before, during, or after the first wizarding war.
my guess on that is yeah, he looked the same (or at least similar enough) because Fudge and all them recognized it was him at the end of the Order of the Phoenix
@@davidriedy5977 that is true, there was most definitely some semblance and like it was said in the video about Voldemort wearing a hood becomes more understandable with the possibility of horcruxes coming with some side effects
He did look like that when he met Harry. When his face is revealed in the first book, he looks just like he did upon return. In that moment, he still is before making Nagini as a Horcrux.
@@leventebardossy5962 I don’t quite remember his face being described but I do remember him wearing a hood during that night. I’m Deathly Hallows when it describes Voldemort as he is scoping out the hidden potter residence where two young children look at him and become terrified at how he looks believing it is some terrifying Halloween mask. Just couldn’t say for sure if he looked that way entirely before or after the fateful night when he lost.
@@CB-THE-OG I meant the face in the back of Quirrell's head. It looks the same as the one that emerges from the cauldron three years later, based on the description in the book, as Harry remembers it.
Can you do more voldemort videos please
What are these clips in the background.
Maybe... This is a big maybe; but Basilisk venom might be a requirement. At the time he had an unlimited supply of it in the Chamber of Secrets. If not a Basilisk then at least a potent snake venom. Considering snake venom can kill; and save lives. Voldemort said he regained his body from a spell of his own making; and the venom from Nagini sustains him.
When the best idea to make one would be to put it on an object and then put it object in like a Time distorted world or something and now let anybody know about it or leave a hint of it so then you'd be able to potentially live forever without the item even decaying
Hi I'd like to ask.
When should expect to watch the next in the animation sieries?
please I would like to know so I don't have to wait to be under pressure when I hear that you've uploaded.
I always love and watch your videos but I am getting under pressure because I don't when it is coming out.
I am under pressure because I keeping hearing that you've uploaded but it isn't the next animation episode.
Like I said I Still love your videos but again Its just a bit to much excitement not to know
You never list your sources for example where Tom revolution making the goblet horcrux... Okay I don't know I have not seen the live action play or the last released fantastic beasts movie so I guess it could be from there but where do you get that clip. Also in the books and movies it never states that after making a second horcrux the diary that he starts losing his hair and and starts losing his natural handsomeness... Where do you get your info
I put the source in the video.. the movie is called Le Maitre De La Mort.. it’s French..
I thought the diary was his first horcrux. Almost sure of it actually.
I think it’d be more likely that his features would have slid off like a snake shedding its skin. It’s likely that after some point he went through the painful experience of his flesh ripping open and sliding right off of his body and that the healing process would’ve been excruciating and that in some part when he’s returned to hogwarts to apply for the DADA post he’s had to use transfiguration to make it seem like he’s ordinary
I think it can be inferred that to make a Horcrux, you must first commit murder without feeling guilt for it, then you hold onto that conviction until to find something you want to split your soul into. You then use that murder like a conduit to funnel the split part of your soul into the new Horcrux, and boom, you got yourself a Horcrux
I'd love to see a series of videos made on what other characters might end up looking like had they broken their soul as much as Voldemort. They wouldn't all become 🐍 like, right?
i don't think so. i imagine the process would make you more like whatever animal your soul resembles, much like becoming an animagus.
jk rowling herself has gone down a dark path in the past few years. i imagine that if she were really in the world she created, as her soul got more twisted she would start looking more and more owl-like - white skin, sharp, hooked nose and small mouth, big yellow eyes. she's convinced herself that she's right and smarter than everyone going against her, and she likes maintaining a lofty moral high ground while really being a vicious, clawed thing that attacks creatures much weaker than herself. she would become like an owl. brianna ghey would be one of the murders that splits her soul.
I still want to know how Tom Riddle found the Chamber of Secrets when he was at school?
He probably just stumbled upon it, the same way Harry has stumbled upon many weird areas of Hogwarts in his time
Love this ❤️
I figured Tom Riddle’s death by his own hand was the sacrifice needed to split his soul one more time in an unstable way, thus latching onto the only living thing nearby rather than an Object.
I always thought that Voldemorts appearance didn’t change until he tried to kill Harry and the potion to give him a full body changed his appearance
Ok, is this a scam? Or it is real
This is a scam, it’s not me
@@HarryPotterFolklore ok good, I love ur vids btw
we know that it changed SOME, according to dumbledore's memory of voldemort applying for the DADA job. at that time, after he's made five of his seven horcruxes, he's described as "waxy" and "no longer handsome tom riddle" but it also says that "his features were not those harry had seen emerge from the great stone cauldron" and that his eyes were not yet scarlet and his face not yet masklike. but i do think the extreme snake-like appearance he shows after being revived has more to do with using nagini's venom to build a new body than the horcruxes.
Can someone tell me what this other movie is that show the boy with the skin peeling and losing his hair?
In the last movie when it showed the beginning of the battle was that Oliver wood flying in who said “come on”
Yeah. They actually got the same actor to come back and play Woods.
Where can I find the videos you used for reference shots? I apologize I cannot make out the name in the corner all my screens cut it off.
Based on JK being so hesitant to reveal this "dark deed" that must be done in the ritual (assuming the Murder mentioned is merely to split his soul and is seperate from the ritual to create the Horcrux) and considering we've witnessed voldemort order the murder of Cedric Diggory, my guess, and apologies cause this is super dark, is that Voldemort has to sacrifice a child. This could explain how Harry became an unintended Horcrux when Voldemort attempted to murder him.
(spoilers for the stage play, Harry Potter Cursed Child) this might also explain why Voldemort would choose to conceive a child with Bellatrix. He's arrogant enough to believe he can live forever and feels no love for anyone. Any child of his would only be a threat to him laterbon. He was probably planning to use Bellatrix and his child to create his last Horcrux.
Was the earlier horocruxes more powerful because they had bigger pieces of the soul???
They gotta introduce horcrux’s to a harry potter game. Gives players who make one a reason to respawn
Where did u get the videos of his past explaining his actions?
From a fanmade film called the origins of the heir
No the real reason why she didn't go into details because remember what happened when Slenderman became a thing a girl stabbed and killed someone in sacrifice of him
I also remember the story about her telling the editor how they were made and the woman being a little sick at the thought. All in all, a good thing it's never stated.
@@robertgronewold3326 I'm pretty sure that was just a story to build hype.
I have little to no basis to this theory, but what if the unspeakable act of the horcruz is to seal not only one's soul but the soul of the person that they murdered into the horcrux making their soul a patron to the horcrux and in a state of limbo where they can't be freed. It would make sense with harry and nagini
Hints of red in his eyes if I recall correctly was mentioned when he was shown the Hufflepuff Cup, when he only had made two Horcruxes
I wonder if you could use a Polyjuice potion to make yourself look as you did in your younger days.
This whole thing does remind me of how Orochimaru changes bodies when whichever body started to break down and the snake “form” Orochimaru took made up of smaller white snakes during the process in the physical realm
Can I ask - those videos that you're using, the ones that are not from the original movies - where are they from? I mean - for example - the one where he goes through his hair and sees some of it left in his hand?
Hey Martin they’re from fan made movies..
Now I think you are wrong at this point. By the time Tom returned to Hogwarts to apply for DADA job, he had already made the diadem a horcrux. And yes his facial features were quite withered at this point but he still had the nose. And its known that Tom had his nose until his downfall the first time in Godric's hollow. The slits in place of a nose is attribute to the ritual that was used to bring him back to a complete body and not the horcrux creation.
Does making horcruxes split the soul into consecutive halves or equal sizes that one chooses based on how many they want to make? If in half then the first horcrux would contain half of the soul, the second one would have a quarter and so on.
The only thing about Voldemort that has always bothered me is where did his nose go? The mystery of the disappearance of the Dark Lord's nose is the biggest mystery for me.
Who is Voldemort? To the blind, he is the light. To the hungry, he is the bread. To the sick, he is the cure. To the lonely, he is the company. To the sad, he is the joy. To the prisoner, he is the freedom. For me, he is everything.
I’ve Seen this exact same comment on a snape theory video except it said snape
Are you a death eater ore what 😅
