I've been reading these books a lot and have been pondering over one thought: What if Harry Potter is a Horcrux? That would be such a twist and mind bender. Tell me what you think about this thought and if you agree/disagree. It could be possible.

Why voldemort could be interested do harry his Horcrux?? If harry were a horcrux he could know this, couldn't he? Dumbledore said it's dangerous trust in something that can breathe when he was telling harry about the horcrux that can be Voldemort's snake.

I think it is a very good chance that Harry may be a Horcrux. In fact, that thought crossed my mind after first reading about the Horcruxes. However, i think that in order to handle the situation, harry might either have to kill himself, or have another, more powerful wizard (such as Dumbledore?) remove the curse. Whatever happens, i'm sure that Rowling won't let Harry Potter die in the process.... will she? I certainly hope not! I am very excited to read about what happens next.

well the problem with that would be if harry killed himself, he wouldnt be able to kill voldemort...so someone else would have to. unless harry could kill voldemort and then kill himself, because who said that horcruxes had to be destroyed in a certain order? and i really dont think JKR will kill harry in the last book .i believe she said a main character would die, which will be sad no matter who it is, but not harry - that would ruin the whole series in my opinion.

Are you thinking that Harry may be a horcrux of dumbledore? If so I don't think that could be the case as much is made of Harry's resemblance to his parents, whereas if his is a horcrux of dumbledore he would have to look like the young dumbledore. Also Harry is protected in some way by staying in the house of his aunt. Again if he was the horcrux of dumbledore there would be no relationship to the aunt and therefore no protection. If not a horcrux of dumbledore then whose?

Actually, I was trying to imply that Harry is a Horcrux of Voldemort's that Harry has to destroy in order to destroy Voldemort. What a twist!, but It could be possible. Maybe Voldemort really wasn't trying to kill him when he was born. Maybe he was making Harry a Horcrux. Since we don't know the process of making something a Horcrux, couldn't it be a possibility?

I don't really think that Harry could possibly a Horcrux of Voldemort. I think If Voldemort have successfully killed Harry, he would have made a Horcux. As Dumbledore have mentioned in book 6. Voldemort makes his Horcrux after significant deaths. He made the ring or Marvolo a Horcrux after he killed the Riddle's. He made the Diary a Horcrux too. He also made the locket and the cup after he killed Hepzibah. Maybe He's going to make another one on the Potter's deaths. Then he made Nagini a Horcrux. If Dumbledore was right about this theory.
