    I’m not convinced Slytherin was a dark wizard. 3 other “good” witches and wizards are just friends with this super bad dude? Doesn’t make sense. I think he was misguided in his hatred but probably also feared his own and his friends death. Perhaps it’s more of an Anakin to Vader fall for Salazar where’s he’s good most of the time but then got persuaded by fear of loss- without the redemption arc. Perhaps that’d be a good show- dive into his life and then give him that arc and it would help to show how Voldemort twisted Slytherin’s intention. I think the basilisk could’ve been the tool to help protect the castle and it was in the chamber to protect those in the castle until / unless it would need to be utilized in the chance of a muggle attack.

      I believe that even though Voldemort could communicate and even command to some degree he couldn’t bypass its principal goal which was to protect the school so it would eventually bite himself if he didn’t gained total control of it. So he had to gain control or eliminate it in the end and the later was what ended up happening.

    One question on horcruxes is, how do we really know how the ways to destroy them were discovered? Cause that was also in the book Hermoine read, the only 2 known ways to destroy them, basilisk venom and fiendfyre.

  • @DutchJoan
    @DutchJoan Месяц назад +3

    Fascinating though all of this is, the basilisk in Harry Potter can't have been Bullock's horcrux. Griffindor's sword only became imbued with basilisk venom by/after killing the basilisk. If the basilisk had been a horcrux it couldn't have been killed by the sword, tethered to life through Bullock himself. Attaching part of your soul to a living creature is highly unreliable. Even Voldemort said so. He kept Nagini close after certain events. Herpo on the other hand is nowhere near Hogwarts and the Chamber of Secrets. I can't imagine Herpo abandoning the basilisk, not knowing what would happen to it. Dangerous though the beast is, it isn't unbeatable.
    Another point is that it didn't put up a fight like the other horcruxes did. And after it was pierced there was no sign that Herpo's soul was destroyed in the process. It was just the dead basilisk. Whereas with Voldemort's horcruxes we got signs that more than a mere item was destroyed.
    The opal necklace sounds more plausible, but it was in the possession of Dumbledore. Would he not have recognised it as a horcrux? Would he not have been aware of the history of Herpo? Dumbledore had studied horcruxes, the book was in his office. He understood the magic behind them, the defences put on them. And I would expect the horcrux to be in Greece somewhere. Greece has so many historically and mythically significant places.

    • @eleftheriosmas
      @eleftheriosmas Месяц назад

      1) To add to your point, as much as i ADORE HP's Basilisks, they are indeed NOWHERE NEAR UNKILLABLE. In fact they are extremely fragile. A Basilisk will be instakilled the moment he hears a rooster's morning crowing!😂😂😂
      2) Slytherin's name basically confirms he is a descendant of Herpo the Foul. Herpo, in Greek Έρπων (Herpon), is the present tense nominative masculine participle of the verb έρπω (herpo) which means slither, and it means "he who is slitherin' ". If we talked about real life, sure, that could be a coincidence, but in Harry Potter, Rowling having explicitly chosen his ethnicity, his name and the other two elements that connect him directly and exclusively to Slytherin (being the only named figures who we know to have hatched Basilisks) and Voldemort (being the only two named figures who we know to have made Horcruxes) counts as confirmation.

    I’m assuming that the cards that were given out with the chocolate frogs works the same way as baseball cards. Or even magic the gathering cards.
    So my hypothesis would be this since he had six of her cars already. That while she was strong, maybe not as strong as some others because her card would be considered common not rare or legendary. Unless Ron just got lucky enough to get six of her.
