maybe voldemort put it in an air-bubble, and as such whomever watns to summon it must also summon a 20,000 pounds rock and half an ocean...

 

Why doesn't he just go turn a glass of water into an horcrux then throw the water in the ocean. It will never be gone as it always comes back through the water cycle.

 

The problem with that is the fact that

• A. Voldy would have to probaly target the spell to create the horcrux on either the water or the class. B. If he targeted the water, the water would than have to be contained rather than being dumped out seeing as how water will evaporate when heated, thus destroying the horcrux and the makeing of said horcruc a futile effort.

 

The water will never truly be gone, but keep going through the water cycle constanly changing where it is giving him an effective Horcrux.

 

While water will contine to cycle throught the ecosyatem. But along with that cycle, you have to think about what would happen to that horcrux when the water starts changing through said cycle. Does it stay in the water or something else. Sice there are many things that affect the cycle of water i.e. people, animals, and many other things. That also leaves the question of wither or not the horcrux would just disappear over time due to an always changeing "host"

 

A horcrux won't disseaper over time since it has to be destroyed for it to release the soul. Or Voly has to die and use a Horcrux to revive.

 

But your thinking that the horcrux would just stay with the water molacules(sp?). Now if that what your thinking that what stopping the soul from being ripped apart by the seperattion of said water molacules(sp?).

 

Well since he did use magic on the water, maybe it won't split this is just a thought anyways. I think it was somewhere here to lazy to check, the said the knowledge of Horcrux's is taboo and Voldy is too confident thinking no one will know.

Well, Slughorn is the one that told him so its obvious at least SOME people know. Slughorn also doesn't strike me as the studious type so if he can get the knowledge wats to say no one else can.

 

Like you said it just a thought and yea i read that post somewhere I think it in the How would Voldy take over the world thread. Either way I think that Voldy will have to do something about his horcruxes seeing as how we're down to the last book.

 

first i want to say that if as you say the horocrux will never be gone becuase the water will always come back through the cycle then what will happen if through that cycle the water horocrux will get into someone's tap water and he will drink it?... will he then have a part of a soul in him?? - if that were to happen, then in my opinion then it will be like the think with the CoS were the part soul will use the life of the host to become a true person again - and then we'll have two Riddels(sp) and that wont be nice at all.
second thing is that if you think that the water are a good place to hide a Horocrux that whay not just make a Horocrux from a rock or something and put it in a box and ward the box against anything that the water can do ti it and then just throw it in the nearest ocean and that is it...
again this is just my thought so....

 

It's true that the water would never be gone, but I don't think souls are as durable as water. I mean, technically, the diary was never gone (you can't destroy matter), it was just dissolved.

I also don't see why a simple killing curse wouldn't work. Its whole purpose is to kill souls.

 

We don't know if the killing curse effects the soul or not, it's never stated in canon how exactly it kills...I would say it's unlikely to destroy only souls because in the ministry Voldemort shoots one off, misses and the desk that it hits bursts into flame...so unless the desk had a soul...it's unlikely to effect the soul, or only the soul.

 

Maybe there is a violent reaction when it cannot find a soul in what ever it hits. I know that in HBP, Dumbledore says that the killing curse does not usually leave any signs on the body, except for Harry. Rules don't apply to him, anyway.

 

But if the killing curse only affectted the soul than why did it fail to work like stated when it boucened off of Harry and back to Voldemaort when he first tried to kill Harry as a baby? Forgetting that we know about the horcruxes for right now of course, It still should have killed the soul that was in riddle's body at the time. Instead Riddle's soul was only torn from his body and not destroyed like it should have been.

 

From what I got in HBP, the soul that is in the body (the main one, or whatever) has to be the last one to die. All the horcruxes have to go first, or the main soul won't go on, or disappear or whatever.

And I don't think the killing curse destroys the soul, it just rips it out of its body (or cup or locket etc.).

 

makes sense... Than the Question is!

What causees the soul to "Die" and move on when the AK ripps it from the body and why does the body continue to live after haveing the soul ripped out? What makes the AK diffrent from a dementor than?

 

I think a dementor destroys a soul while it is in the body, then sucks out the dead soul. Some how that leaves the body alive. AK just rips the soul out of the body and, for some reason, the body dies. Maybe the trama (not that having your soul eaten isn't tramatic). The soul dies after AK because it cannot stay on this plain without a body, unless it has a horcrux.

Either that, or the plot bunnies kill them.

 

I have to say your points seem solid..... for now at least :lol:

As far as the horcruxes go I don't think an ak would work on them,,,but who knows with JKR anymore.

 

I think that the AK shuts down its victims' body, which would then force the soul to be expelled from it.

 

Hmm. Maybe. I'm just making this crap up anyway, but if it were me, I'd just feed the horcruxes to the dementors.
