![]() ![]() ![]() The entirety of the diary consists in Voldemort's soul. So one might think that the diary was a more powerful horcrux, or that it had a larger or more stable fragment of Vordemort's soul, therefore even if Harry tried to stop him in parseltongue, Tom Riddle's "phantom" might have a better chance of controlling the snake.įinally, I agree with an answer that I read, that the diary was an inanimate object and a pure vessel of Tom's soul, as opposed to the other horcrux which coexisted with Harry's soul. ![]() Moreover, out of all the inanimate horcuxes, the diary was the one that seemed to have more complex thought and it was the only one that communicated with people like an actual human being(the other horcruxes tried to deceive or corrupt by sounds or visions, while the diary held actual dialogues). I think it was important that Harry Potter defeated the basilisk as a Gryffindor(his own soul), rather than a Slytherin(the fragment of Voldemort's soul in him).įurthermore, even though Harry Potter and the diary were both Horcruxes(in other words, had fragments of the heir's soul), the latter was created by choice when Riddle's soul was still intact, whereas the horcrux in Harry was created by accident, beacause Voldemort's crippled soul was too unstable. Only a true Gryffindor can pull Godric's sword out of the sorting hat. Only the heir of Slytherin can control the snake. The Basilisk, Slytherin's snake, was killed by Gryffindor's sword. (view spoiler) [You point is definitely valid, but it lacks in symbolism in comparison with Rowling's plot. ![]()
