Harry Potter went through so much in the 7 beautiful books that J.K Rowling wrote… and it would come as no surprise in the real world if he were suddenly to turn to the dark side, and follow in Voldemort's footsteps. What does that mean? Well, they were both orphans, both mistreated, and both had a hard life. One decided to become an evil ruler, and the other, a sacrificial goat. Just kidding, Harry Potter didn't know he was a Horcrux until the last book, but still. What if Harry Potter turned bad and started making Horcruxes? What would he use? Where would he hide them? I have so many ideas, but so do many other Potterheads. So instead of spoiling the fun right from the get go, I'll allow you to scroll right on down and take a look for yourself. Next, check out these unpopular opinions about the Wizarding World that people have and aren't afraid to talk about. It gets really entertaining.

    Harry flips and starts making horcruxes. What does he use and where does he hide them? Discussion To start - he'll hide one in Privet Drive and it's the letter he first got telling him about Hogwarts

    Living things move around and go places and can hide or not hide and have odd lifespan problems too potentially. I mean if Voldy had left Nagini back at Malfoy's place and she stayed there then he'd still be alive. Because she was a part of the battle, he got de 1. Kinda wild. A 118 Reply Share

    AJaffaBoyo . 6 days ago Let's presume he begins this process at the end of 5th year. He's just watched Sirius, the closest link to his parents he has, d'e. Let us also presume he aims to make 6, for a 7 part soul like Voldemort did. You'd like to think that he would, knowing how horcruxes work, simply attach it to a rock and throw it in a lake. But Harry does have quite the ego, despite what fandom may say.

    1. The letter, hidden at Privet drive just like you say. A testament to where he came from. 2. His DA galleon, tucked away somewhere deep in the room of hidden things. 3. A framed picture of his parents, buried in the front garden of their cottage in Godrics hollow 4. The first snitch he ever caught, under the floorboards of the 1st year boys dormitory 5. Something of Sirius', perhaps his wand even, secreted away in the shrieking shack, where few dare to look, and fewer dare to tread. 6. A simpl

    And finally we have the sliver of his soul that still resides within his body. A453 Reply Share Squared Melons 5 days ago · edited 5 days ago Haha I'm just imagining Uncle Vernon finding the letter hidden somewhere at Privet Drive and trying to rip it up, burn it, etc. like all the rest of the letters. But now since it's a horcrux nothing happens and he loses his mind trying to destroy it.

    Sadly, I don't think the DA galleon hidden in the room of hidden things is gonna work very well. The room already gets incinerated, so that's one horcrux down after about a year. A 119 V Reply Share

Horcruxes are indestructible by normal means, and it's not like someone is just going to stumble across it in there.

Even in an antique shop, a witch like Hermione would be able to spot them with enough knowledge if they happened to be stopping by. Доту 9 Reply Share ...

Just like Voldemort didn't hide a Horcrux at the orphanage, there's no way Harry would hide one at Privet Drive. The shack is a much better choice. A2V Reply Share
