Episode description
Imagine this:
You’re losing the war.
Your followers are dropping off like flies.
And one by one, the objects that keep you alive—your Horcruxes—are being destroyed.
Your NOLONGER-so-secret key to eternal life…is failing.
Now—correct me if I’m wrong—but there seems to be a pretty obvious solution here…
Just make…more.
So…Why didn’t he?
Why didn’t Voldemort, the moment he realized his soul fragments were being destroyed, simply create more Horcruxes? Two more? Four more? Forty more?
He knew the magic, and he knew the consequences. So what stood in his way?
Today we’ll be diving into all of this and MORE as we unpack the convoluted topic of Voldemort’s Horcruxes.
