Bro just walked past the room of requirement thinking “yo where’s the chamber of secrets at” and it opened to a map of hogwarts with a comically large red arrow.

[LCM]

This podcast has been gold dust for you guys. It's so funny listening to an episode then seeing a video about something that was discussed

[JahanMisra]

Great video, it all fits so well. I always interpreted Tom asking Slughorn about Horcruxes as him already having made one horcrux and wanting to ask someone before he attempted another. I also thought that the diary was the first horcrux. but the diary being second and Myrtle dying shortly after his conversation with Slughorn makes Slughorn hiding the memory make way more sense imo.

[Creature]

Real question is why didn’t Myrtle tell anyone else in 50 years where to look

[jamessmithson-brrm]

Your logic is a little off. This is exactly the order I’ve already read it, that Tom went to the Gaunt shack/ killed his Father’s family before he opened the Chamber of Secrets. I’ve always subscribed to the theory that the ring passes on the knowledge of how to open the chamber.

However, we don’t get any confirmation in the books about when Tom turned the ring into a horcrux. This could still have been after he made the diary horcrux. In fact Wizarding World just says that “after a time of wearing the ring himself, Voldemort eventually turned the ring into a horcrux, and buried it deep within the ruins of his old family home, protecting it with enchantments”. This suggests Tom stopped wearing the ring after it became a horcrux. So if he was wearing the ring when he asked Slughorn about horcruxes, it probably wasn’t yet a horcrux.

I assumed the basilisk told him. Dude could talk to snakes, and the basilisk knew where the door to Slytherin's chamber would be.

[danielsantiagourtado]

He just wanted some privacy from Dumbledore's "Annoyingly close eye" on him😂😂😂😂😂

[kristinr]

He just found a way to Slytherin, of course😂

[matteoairaghi]

The chamber of secrets was opened in 1943 (presumably in June), the summer of his sixteenth year which you are referring to is the summer of 1943. He killed myrtle, and supposedly made the horcrux, before he found the ring. My theory is that when he talked to slughorn (in his sixth year so probably 1944) he had the ring but did not yet make it a horcrux since he wanted to hear from slughorn if it was possible to make more than one.

Ps. It is also beautiful that the horcruxes are destroyed in the same order they were created: diary, ring, locket, cup, diadem, Harry, Nagini, then voldemorts body (which was actually created last at the end of goblet!)

[Masterozo]

This wasn’t before Tom riddle’s fifth year as Dumbledore says - at the age you are now Harry, give or take a few months Tom Riddle was doing all he could to make himself immortal. This means that he already had opened the chamber before killing Morfin and getting the ring. And anyway he visited Morfin to find about his heritage but he liked the ring so he got his revenge and stole the ring all at once. He didn’t visit the Gaunt to find the chamber or secrets

[rhonwenbaker]

One problem with this explanation though; we know Voldy only found the locker _after_ graduating from Hogwarts when he worked for B&B, so even if the locket does tell one how to reach the chamber, he had to have found out some other way to have opened it as a prefect.

[Exarathas]

Video starts at 4:13 - yes, more than four minutes of advertisement and intro.

[blueheadphones]

I came back to this channel after years and years, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that almost nothing has changed in the vibes of these theories
thank you for making this corner of the internet your own :)

[liserbiser]

Another awesome SCB video! Would you ever consider doing a "Voldemort's Big Plan" video, akin to Dumbledore's Big Pan? Where we talk through what Voldemort wanted to have happen, maybe how-it-could-have-ended kind of thing? And we can see just how far into that plan he got before being thwarted? You guys rock!

[onedaysoon]

Y'all really need to stop with the BetterHelp sponsorships 😭 Please do some research on them!

[lonelyprince]

I always assumed in Slughorn's memory Tom is in his 6th year, which means Myrtle has already died. I always thought the way the sequence in Harry's 6th year plays out, it suggests that Tom didn't create his first Horcrux until he got the information he wanted out of Slughorn

[marsik]

VIdeo idea: What if at the end of the third book, Sirius or Lupin literally just stunned/petrified Peter before leaving the shrieking shack, preventing him from ever escaping? Never understood why they DIDN'T do that, especially since Hermione had no problem freezing Neville at the end of the first book...

[Dynamic_Aerial_Adventures]

gotta add to the poinbt made around 10:30 ish. You DO NOT have to be a blood relative to get in the chamber. Ron goes in to get the Fang in the 7th book and says he remembers words from harry talking in his sleep so that protection you speak of Slytherin having isnt all its cracked up to be

[sr]

One big flaw in your story is that Tom was wearing the ring after the chamber had been opened (we know this because Tom mentions the DADA teacher retiring, the position which he then asked Prof Dippett if he could have which strongly suggests this scene was set in his seventh year). Once he made an object a horcrux he no longer kept it around much less went about wearing it while talking about horcruxes.

Next the instructions are in Hufflepuff’s cup? If true that can’t be where he gets the information from since he doesn’t come into possession of it until after he leaves school when he has his first job collecting artefacts for Mr Burke.

[The_Jam_of_Love]

I was imagining that he heard the basilisk and persuaded it to guide him to the entrance
