my thoughts on horcruxes
Feb. 6th, 2025 01:35 pmeveryone likes to make jokes that voldemort was stupid because he made his horcruxes very important objects in his life but my personal theory is that horcruxes do have to be of sentimental importance in order to work.
you're literally separating a part of your soul from your body, it can't just be put in any old object or thing. to me, it makes sense that the more attached you are to an object, the easier it would be to give your soul to it. i imagine thats how the magic works; it has to be something you are emotionally attached to.
the grain of sand on a beach idea is quite smart but a soul is not something that can be parted with lightly. and i think it'd be a good idea to know where your soul is at all times.
idk if this is canon or not, i barely interact with canon these days, but this is just my take in response to fanon discussion.
