Hey Fellow geeks!
Today I’m doing a HP – related theory! Did our favourite bearded professor make a Horcrux?
If any of you didn’t know, a Horcrux is an object that you put a piece of your soul into by committing murder. So one burning question comes to the surface – for Dumbledore to have made a Horcrux, he’d need to have killed someone, and he didn’t…right?
Wrong.
In the Deathly Hallows we learn a lot about Albus’s disturbing childhood, his sister Ariana, and his legendary duel with Gellert Grindelwald that resulted in the death of his younger sister.
He tells Harry when they meet in the imaginary version of King’s Cross that he ‘never knew which of the us [Albus, Grindelwald and Dumbledore’s brother Aberforth] cast the curse that killed Ariana; I dreaded beyond all things the knowledge that it had been I who killed her.’
Therefore, there is a probability that Dumbledore did kill somebody.
But there is another problem. Even if he had the ability to make a Horcrux, Dumbledore didn’t like, or use, Dark Magic.
However, he knows that he may have killed Ariana, so he must have been using Dark Magic.
That’s all I’m going to be explaining today. If you want to know more, here is the link for the video: Dumbledore’s Horcrux Video
