I was wondering if the idea ever crossed the mind of a dark wizard to try hurling a horcrux into space. Can't destroy what you can't find.

I can't believe i'm tolerating this thread, but...

Isn't the point of magic that it's tied to the powers of nature in Earth?

OK. If I understand your response, I'm wrong because someone's made up fantasy book says otherwise.

Does this qualify as religious persecution?

I don't see why wizards cant fly into space.. im sure there is some spell to give them an astronaut suit and they can already fly.. even if they dont have a spell for the suit.. id just get one and then ride my broom to the moon.. haha

No you don't. All Voldie needed was Harry's blood, Peter's hand and his father's bones.

But Voldemort didn't know Harry was a horcrux. Harry's blood worked because he was Voldemort's enemy, and it was taken by force AND was combined with the others elements.

I have to admire J. K. Rowling's balls. Her metaphorical ones, I mean. She comes up to the last book with a whole Macguffin-finding plot all in place and everyone waiting for the EXCITING CONCLUSION, and what does she do? Suddenly adds more Macguffins out of nowhere. She pushed the Macguffin envelope.

>> No.1783465

>>1783449
To be fair, every Macguffin was usually referenced in passing at least a book beforehand, with a few exceptions that are given a hasty introduction in the prologue or something. So they are Chekov's armory if you can be a little forgiving, or deus ex if not.

And it would behoove moldevort to have his Horcruxes within reach. He can protect them [i'm sure there is a macguffin for this, but can anything survive going near a star?] He probably needs to be near them, and they need to be accesable if he dies.

Tvtropes is kind of dumb, is there any reason to say 'chekov's armory'

also, she doesn't mention portkeys before book 4, doesn't mention horcruxes before book 6, doesn't mention the deathly hallows before book 7

also: don't try and think logically about harry potter because none of it makes sense for longer than 5 minutes. literally none of it.
