VOLDEMORT'S SOUL || How Much Was Left?

VOLDEMORT'S SOUL || How Much Was Left?

[boomerangjack]

I also love the metaphorical sense that Voldemort had less than 1% of his humanity left too

This explains why he did fade away in the movies. With the rebounded killing curse there was nothing left to maintain the body any longer. In other cases the killing curse rips the whole soul (being) but there was nothing for the curse to rip apart only Voldy's body.

[Nedyryen]

It works, but only if the soul is actually split in half each time (also fun fact, Harry, as a horcrux, was created before Nagini, so by this logic, he is is 2x more Voldemort than Voldemort himself). But when I read the books, I always imagined that only a small portion is split from the soul each time he killed, and if he wanted, he could put the new fragment into an object. Leaving Voldemort with a larger part of "main" soul, which is still fragmented by all the killings, even though he didn't use most of the fragments for horcruxes.
This would also explain why Harry tried to convince him to regret his actions even after his last horcrux was destroyed. Because the rest of his soul could still be fused together if he did so, giving him a chance for the afterlife

I think the logic you have provided makes sense but I also think that they could argue that the spell that is used to create the horcrux could have something to do with how the soul is split. You could argue it could be like cracking a glass mirror and then putting the small shards of glass a side rather than taking exactly half

[LuisDiaz-qgeg]

He didn't only kill to create horcruxes, he killed for multiple other reasons as well. The earlier ones might work the logic by halving the soul remaining, but for the later ones he certainly outsourced already a minuscule part of soul to the object, because he was able to, because he had already halved it multiple times by killing and the other halves were also broken in pieces while still in his body

Don't worry about the views dude! You make great videos and I'm sure they'll shoot back up once the new series begins

[mistyb]

5:05 the one in Harry was made before the one in Nagini so those two are backwards

[tapuchris-cbjy]

I kind of figured that Voldemort didn't have much of his soul left. I didn't know how much though.

[tclapson]

Once the reboot kicks off, in sure views will pick up again... I'm always liking your videos... How about another collaboration with Harry Potter Theory... I enjoyed the one with movie flame... There's also the super calin brothers!

Actually you would dead on this is exactly how JK Rowling described it. Each time he split his soul split apart. The diary definitely got 50% and that's why it was the most powerful that he almost came through the diary as a living being with 50% of a soul. That being said that each time he split his soul he did splitted 50% of whatever he had left between the ring that left him with 25% of a soul and then he split that 25% and so on until he was left with less than 1% of his soul and this is why I believe Harry Potter who also had less than 1% of Vodermort's inside could resist the evil inside his (Harry Potter) 100% intact pure soul. Just a thought. Nagini had more than 1% which made her sweet soul evil

Voldemort reminds me a lot of Melkor/Morgoth, the first Dark Lord in JRR Tolkien‘s legendarium. Melkor started off as Creation’s most powerful being, second only to Eru (God). However, he poured so much of his power and angelic essence (his _fea_ or soul) into the corruption of the world (poetically known thereafter as _Morgoth’s Ring_ or horcrux) that he ended up bound to a physical body with very limited abilities. From drying oceans and breeding monsters, he ended up afraid to face Fingolfin’s challenge (Fingolfin was just an Elf). I’m not entirely sure if Rowling read _The Silmarillion_ but her inspiration lies within Tolkien’s mythology.

[nathanlynch]

I’ve always wondered how much of his soul was left after he split his soul so many times and I wanted to know how old Voldemort was when he died and it turns out he was in his 70s.

[qvinnyc]

I always imagined the process would break a bit off of his soul, like 5 or 10% maybe, to be put in the object. Still means that there would be less and less remaining, just not as little as you described.

Thanks Dean & keep fighting the forces of darkness & evil - within the constraints of the system. 😃

[tamarasmith]

I think it does make sense that at least a significant piece of soul, if not half, goes each time he splits it. That's why what's left of his body disintegrates when the killing curse cast on baby Harry rebounds. Normally the killing curse doesn't really harm the body in any noticeable way, yet Voldemort's body wasn't lying there next to Lily Potter's body. He was gone. Poof! Peter/Wormtail took his wand & hid it, & because no body was found there was so much debate whether Voldemort was dead or in hiding because of being hurt.

Another awesome video my friend. You never disappoint us your fans.

[monakeulen]

You choose truth and honesty above being liked. Amazing quality. If I were Rowling I would fund you personally ❤ but I can't even buy my girls HP stuff atm 😢 bless you and your little family ❤

Each murder Voldemort committed split his soul in Half:
) 1/2 - The diary - the largest and strongest horcrux;
) 1/4 - The Haunt Ring/Resurrection stone - Mortally injured Dumbledore;
) 1/8 - The Slytherin Locket - Boggart inside that reads you mind; sees your fears;
) 1/16 - The Ravenclaw Diadem - Said to grand magical knowledge, but was cursed to bring insanity;
) 1/32 - The Hufflepuff Cup - supposed to grant health and longevity; cursed to bring death instantly;
) 1/64 - Nagini - Voldemort's most loyal companion and confidante using parseltongue.
) 1/128 - Harry - The horcrux Voldemort did not intend. The weakest, and easiest to resist ... Once Harry understood.

By Harry' horcrux creation, Voldemort's soul was so fractured and weak, he was unable to overcome Lily's ancient protection spell on Harry. It destroyed his body and turned him into a mist ...a phantom....nearly powerless.

I'm surprised he was still so powerful with so little of him in his body.
