“Hints or foreshadowing in Year Two I saw a discussion for foreshadowing and hints for book 1 so I thought I'd continue the trend. One foreshadowing/hint I caught during a reread was in Tom Riddle journal. "But I knew it would happen again. The monster lived on, and the one who had the power to control it was not imprisoned."Tom Marvolo Riddle=I am Lord Voldemort. {hint hint}”
“In response to raisage: Voldemort did kill two people in front of Harry-his parents. So he did have the means necessary to create a horcrux, but I really doubt that he made Harry a Horcrux when he was intending to kill him. Because of course the whole reason he went after Harry was because of the premonition made by Professor Trelawney that Voldemort only heard half of. Also, didn't Dumbledore say that Voldemort was making the Horcruxes before he was half-killed or whatever when he tried to kill Harry? Because he wanted to live on forever. So I don't believe that there was any time during the course of the books the Voldemort would have made Harry Horcrux, if he did at all.”
“While the idea of Harry being a Horcrux is interesting, it is impossible, after reviewing how a Horcrux is created.First, the person must commit a murder in front of Harry, the quickly use a spell to rip off the torn piece of soul, then seal it. There are four instances when Harry and Voldemort meet face to face. It can't've been the night when Voldemort fell, because, although Voldemort committed murder in front of Harry, he would'nt've made a Horcruxout of someone he was about to kill, which, of course, was the whole point of his "visit". He didn't murder anyone in front of Harry during the Sorcerer's Stone conflict, nor did he even have access to his own wand. When they met in the graveyard after his return, Wormtail killed Cedric, not Voldemort. And, finally, when they met at the Ministry of Magic, Voldemort didn't kill anyone personally, and was too engaged with Dumbledore to have time to make Harry a Horcrux.”
“forgive me, I need to re read all books again to keep up with what was done in which book. My thoughts were , as Harry goes along at Hogwarts, he collects allegences. Another one is Dobbie, who he gave his sock to in the book. And Moaning Myrtle? As well as the connections to Tom Riddle/ Voldemort. The Phoenix I think may say it all, since he rose from the ashes. I think that will be important in book 7. Great thread.”
“Harry can't be a Horcrux because Rowling said no people. But perhaps his scar? Harry has to be directly tied to the final Horcrux. It would just be silly if he wasn't. Will Petunia help him out with that one? Was her story and her thing with Dumbledore concluded? I can't remember. Snape was thinking, 'What the duece? I should be a Parsel Mouth! Not this little prat!'”
“I think he was quite surprised along with everyone else. Maybe moreso because he would understand what that meant better than the other students at Hogwarts.”
“I absolutely agree with you, JKR did an amazing job of showing little pieces, little slices of comparison between Voldy and Harry. I just find it incredibly interesting that I just admire Harry's character, moral character. How at 11 years old he was able to see that Malfoy while powerful in his own way, was not up to Harry's moral compass. All the characters in these books on both the good and the bad side, are such strong characters. What do you think Snape was thinking when Harry spoke Parsel Mouth?”
“a little of himself *cough*Perhaps harry is a horcrux?”
“ Thanks for all the examples of the tie between the two. I totally agree that there is a connection between Harry and Voldemort. Dumbledore said himself that when Voldemort gave Harry that scar, he passed a little of himself to Harry. ”
“Thanks for starting this thread! Did you know that JK Rowling considered the Half Blood Prince title for this book? I get the feeling that there is more to this book that will be revealed in Year Seven.Also, I just thought of this... I'll need to reread Phoenix and Half Blood Prince, but each book reveals a connection between Voldemort and Harry - year one, the core of the wand and the scar. year two, that Voldemort passed his parseltongue abilities and that they were both orphans (is Harry the other side of the coin in terms of Voldemort? The path he didn't take as a young boy?) year three - (and this one may be more of a stretch, or I'm forgetting something) Wormtail... Wormtail gave Voldemort the secret and his loyalty, but yet he owes a life debt to Harry.I won't continue with the other books, because I think it is a good discussion for each book. While Chamber is probably my least favorite of the series, it is incredibly interesting in terms of the building blocks for the rest of the series and the information we get about Voldemort's past (and Hagrid's for that matter). ”
