Every time you give us a thumbs up a Narwhal gets its horn! (maybe..)

i think half the reason voldie was even close to physically manifesting himself through the diary was because it was his first horcrux and had the largest portion of soul compared to the other horcruxes making it much more likely to bring him back fully

[kohganightbane]

All of a sudden, I feel myself wanting to see somebody animate an 8-way Wizard Duel and every combatant is Voldemort, with each one dressed in a way to represent their Horcrux.

"A little blurry around the edges." How everyone looks when you're nearsighted and not wearing your glasses :).

[DanGleebowls]

Biggest question I have, is whether Lily's love would have still protected Harry if Voldemort just threw baby Potter against the wall or dropped him out of the 2nd floor window

[ryutak]

The buffering joke never gets old (also never dies) and it tricked me.

[thomasjeppesen]

Here’s a question for you, Ben and Jay, that I would like you to answer in a video some day: Why didn’t Voldemort hide a Horcrux in the Chamber of Secrets? I mean it seems much more fitting than the Room of Requirement. In fact, I’m actually baffled that the trio or Dumbledore never even discussed it as a potential hiding place for Horcruxes since it seems like the most obvious place for Voldemort to hide something he wouldn’t want others to access.

[hunterkiller]

When this happens, I wonder if the 7 Voldies would turn on each other and turn the Second Wizarding War into Feudal Dark Wizard States?

[nikolaella]

Additional question: would young Voldy be “more” Voldemort than old Voldy? Considering the diary has half of his soul and old Voldy has further fragmented his soul by then..? Wouldn’t young Voldy be “more powerful” in that case (cause he’d be more of a human?wizard?both? than his old self)?

[thepriorstone]

Maybe the Diary was different because as far as I know, it’s the only horcrux that had a immediate connection to Voldemort. I mean it was literally his diary, he poured his soul into that book, so it could’ve been inadvertently enchanted just by Tom putting his emotions and thoughts into it, so by the time it had become a horcrux, it already had all of 16 year old Toms personality downloaded, almost a clone of you will.

I think the idea is that Voldemort "Prime" is attempting to come back through the Horcrux. They don't necessarily bring another Voldemort to life, they simply anchor the original from full on death. The form he took before these rituals was less than a ghost, until he tried coming back through other means. Notice the Diary version of him is younger, perhaps what he looked like when he created it? This would also explain why he looks like a Snake, because he used the same method but with Nagini. He basically comes back as a reflection of the specific Horcrux used. So without Voldemort's primary soul, the Horcrux would simply be as he put it, a memory.

[She-Devil]

They adressed in the books why they didn't have DA meatings in the chamber.
Because it takes to long to get to the chamber and it would be pretty suspicious if they all met regularly in a girls bathroom^^

[turtle_combat]

What if Voldemort learned his greatest weakness was his lack of friends? The Coven of Voldemort would be a much more formidable villain than just one Voldemort.

I want a Harry Potter sitcom called “The 8 Voldemorts" and it's just 8 Voldemorts trying to co-exist

[MCMIVC]

The norwegian translation actually fixes the "I am" issue. "Tom Dredolo Venster" anagramed his name to "Voldemort den Store" which means "Voldemort the great"

The norwegian translation is in my opinion a work of art, and this is one of its best moments.

The buffering joke is my absolute favorite followed closely by the episode falsely ending just a few minutes in 😂

[Deaconlj]

I don’t think killing Ginny would automatically create a horcrux. If you remember in the memory in Half Blood Prince Tom asks Slughorn about the process and he responds “there is a spell. Don’t ask me, I’ve never tried it. Do I look like a killer?” So Ginny’s death may work towards splitting Diary Tom’s soul he would still need to perform the remaining portion of the ritual if he wanted to create the additional Horcrux.

[sevenseas]

I’d have liked to see Diary Voldy come back. He was the superior Voldy, the most good looking of them all, 10/10 dark lord

[kentthomson]

The main difference with the diary is that Voldemort put a copy of his consciousness into it alongside a part of his soul.

[UnsightlyThinker]

So the ultimate question:
HOW is Voldie’s soul split? In equal “slices” or divided in half each time?
I personally believe the latter. It would explain why each Horcrux seems to have “less” Soul than their predecessors. Starting with 50%Diary and ending with less than 1%Voldy Prime. So technically, Harry would be more Voldemort than Voldemort. Also, we know Tom wanted to make 7, but how was that a guarantee? How would he plan to anchor an equal Soul Slice each time? Having a Soul divide automatically makes more logical sense to me.

Bit of a counter-theory: I think the diary would have still been the Horcrux even if Riddle had manifested a physical body, and this version would be significantly weaker than the "real" Voldemord, as Dumbledore stated that even if his soul was mangled and weak, his mind and importantly his magical power was not, so it's not like his power was divided between each piece of soul, so this version of Riddle would have only been as powerful as Ginny was at the time. There's also the question of if that body would be "permanent", after all, life force is not infinite, and I would think that the body that the diary creates is more like a doll for it to inhabit rather than a complete human body with all the internal organs and blood and all that, so I doubt that the other Horcruxes would keep that body from fading eventually, specially if it's still tethered to the Diary itself.
going from this, I believe that after obtaining his new body, young voldemort would have gone in search of Voldemort prime to help it regain his physical form, much like Wormtail would do later on.
