What is the secret Harry Potter scar?

Harry's scar is red.


Does Harry Potter find all the horcuxes?

yes, the other horcruxes are:1. Tom Riddle's Diary 2. Marvolo Gaunt's Ring 3. Slytherin's Locket 4. Helga Hufflepuff's Cup 5. The Diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw 6. (unknown to Voldemort) Harry Potter himself. 7. Nagini the snake


Why does Harry Potter not die when cursed by Voldemort in the Deathly Hallows?

Harry does not die because Voldemort kills the part of his own soul that resides in Harry's body. When Voldemort first tried to kill Harry as a baby, he unknowingly split his soul again and made Harry a Horcrux. Dumbledore suspected it and he knew that Harry must "die" if Voldemort was to be killed. Does that make any sense? I hope it does! <3


Who was the little creature under the chair that harry saw in the king's cross station in the 7th book?

Harry is experiencing life after death, although he returns to life. Evidently the creature is Lord Voldemort. This is confirmed by Harry when he tells Lord Voldemort that he should repent, and that Harry saw what would become of him. Remember that Voldemort went "beyond ordinary evil" and that his soul was severly damaged by his fooling around with horcruxes.


Why was Harry Potter left with only a scar after Lord Voldemort tried to kill him?

Yes. Voldemort gave Harry the scar when he tried to kill him as a baby and it backfired.In Harry Potter, when you kill somebody a part of your soul breaks off. Having just killed James and Lily a part of Voldemort's soul was free to attach itself to the only living thing in the room after his own body had been "killed". That living thing was Harry, making him a Horcrux and leaving him with a lighting bolt scar.The scar itself wasn't the Horcrux, but whenever his scar hurt it was because the part of Voldemort's soul inside him was trying to escape. The Horcrux is also why he could speak Parseltounge.. V

How many total Horcruxes did Harry Ron and Hermione have to find and destroy in order to kill Lord Voldemort?

They had to destroy seven horcruxes. Voldemort wanted to divide his soul into seven pieces; since he himself had one of the seven pieces, that would have required only six horcruxes. However, he accidentally created one more horcrux.

Is Harry really the final horcrux?

Yes a part of Voldemort's soul was placed in him when Voldemort tried to kill him. Voldemort never meant to do that. Basically when the curse rebounded his soul left his body and attached to the only other living body in the house.


Was Harry Potter still Harry Potter in the second after he died?

Yes, he was. The bit inside Harry that died was the part of his soul that was shared by Voldemort. Harry is still the same person after Voldemort "kills" him except that he no longer has part of Voldemort's soul inside him.


How can Harry Potter be a horcrux?

He has got a part of Voldemort's soul attached to his, because when Voldemort first tried to kill him his Avada Kadavracurse bounced back and Voldemort's soul was split (again) and went to the only living thing left in the home--Harry.


Who is opposed to the main character in Harry Potter?

Lord Voldemort. When Harry was a one year old, Lord Voldemort came to his house with a plan to kill him. Lord Voldemort accomplished killing Lilly and James, Harry's parents. But not Harry. When Voldemort tried to kill him with the killing curse, It did nothing but put that scar on his head, and a part of Voldemort's soul was now in that scar. That is why Voldemort was so weak, Because he gave his soul away without meaning too. And that made him a horcrux. A horcrux has parts of Voldemort's soul into it. And the only way Harry could kill him, is if he died as well.


What are the horcruxies in Harry Potter?

Voldemort split his soul into seven pieces and then hid them in things. That's what horcruxies are, Voldemort's souls.


Explain how Harry Potter is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes?

Most dark wizards never make more than one Horcrux...MAYBE two. Voldemort made SIX (seven, including Harry). Murder rips the soul. That's how you make a Horcrux. You murder someone, which rips your soul in two, and you can store one piece in an object, where it will remain alive should your body die. Ripping the soul makes it unstable. Since Voldemort ripped his soul so many times, he made it VERY unstable. And on the night that the killing curse that was meant for Harry rebounded and hit Voldemort instead, a piece of Voldemort's soul flew out and fused or joined itself with Harry's soul. So, since Harry has a piece of Voldemort's soul in him, he is in fact a living Horcrux.
