Why didn't this guy just make hundreds, if not thousands of horcruxes and spread them into the deepest ocean trenches on earth or use his dark magic to fly into outer space and fling them off randomly into the eternal vacuum of our solar system?

limiting returns, less benefit, probably risks you becoming weaker/a hollow if you do it too much. Books say voldemort chose 7 horcruxes because it was a magically powerful number. Probably the ideal number because he knows more about it than you.
>limiting returns
such as? Be specific.
>less benefit
How so? Be specific. If he murdered a few dozen more people and created a few dozen more horcrux he could have just thrown them in the ocean somewhere and even he wouldn't know where they were and the plan to kill him would never succeed.
>probably risks you becoming weaker/a hollow if you do it too much
Ok? Then why did he choose such weak places to hide the ones he made? Why not just throw them in some random location and never leave any clues or trail where they were? He can literally turn into a black cloud and fly around wherever he wants in the world, just do that, fly over some oceans or in a jungle in burma and just drop them randomly and boom, they would never be found. Why keep them all on the british isles?
already answered your question. book says 7 was the magically optimal number. 3/10 just for making me reply twice.
Because the story is written by a woman.
>Harry, did I ever tell you about Time-Turners? They are magical devices that allow the user to travel backwards in time. This incredible power can even be used to save loved ones from death, as you and your friends discovered with Buckbeak. Despite the fact that the Ministry has an entire closet full of Time-Turners, we never once thought to use one to end Voldemort’s reign of terror. It would have been as simple as using one right after he killed one of his victims, say, your parents, and then lying in wait to ambush him before he showed up. Alas, time travel is simply too dangerous to meddle with. It must only be used for the express purpose of allowing a little girl to take extra classes one semester, and only if she is a good friend.
isnt that not true? time turners are closed time loops. you see hermonine see herself, travel back in time, and see herself from the other side. buckbeak never died, the executioner always was chopping a pumpkin. harry always saved himself, etc
the broadway play, Cursed Child, which is canon, debunks this. Draco and Harry's children use time turners to fuck the world up big time, they change the past to stop cedric from dying, ron never marries hermione, etc..
the play also makes it canon that Harry's son and Draco's son are gay lovers. No i am not joking.
they're just friends you degenerate yaoifag
>Albus and Scorpius decide to be more active at Hogwarts, with Scorpius expressing interest in trying out for the Slytherin Quidditch Team and asking Rose to be his friend; she encourages the two boys to pursue their feelings for each other. Harry and Albus visit Cedric's grave, with Harry apologising for his role in Cedric's death. Albus comes out to Harry, saying that Scorpius will always be the most important person in his life, to which Harry responds warmly.
from the wikipedia
as if this shit would be unbelievable. why would i make that up you homosexual
I've never bothered to look into The Cursed Child because everyone said it was terrible.
>Scorpius discovers that his actions caused Cedric to join the Death Eaters and kill Neville Longbottom, preventing him from killing Nagini and allowing Voldemort to win the Battle of Hogwarts.
For one, Cedric become a Death Eater?
Secondly, how would not killing Nagini allow Voldy to win the Battle of Hogwarts? Harry still had the Elder Wand. He would have just killed Voldy like normal and then had the entire Wizarding World hunting a snake.
Oceans and space are muggle knowledge
I think making horcruxes is actually pretty hard.
I just made one and it wasn't even that hard. I no longer have a soul but you can lose those pretty easily now-a-days.
It was easy enough for Voldemort that he made one by accident. The problem is that if he goes past splitting his soul into seven parts, he risks having it completely collapse or something. That's why he couldn't just make more when he was down to only Nagini.
Get
Troons will never be women.
Jesus is king.
Do you guys think black dudes can make horcruxes but with pieces of their BBCs?
Imagine how hot it would be if Voldemort was like that lol.
For a horcrux or a phylactery to contain your soul and make you immortal it has to actually mean something to you and be meaningfully connected to you or history in a way mortals can at least potentially figure out. If you just make a bunch of random pebbles into one, there's no connection to draw yourself back together around. If you use something entirely private and secret, it won't ground you in the reality you actually want to influence and you'll become something like a shadow, unable to interact with the world.
Horcruxes are super powerful items so just because you dropping it in the ocean doesn't mean you can't sense it /find it using magic
Also we can see that by the end Voldemort doesn't even realize one of his has been destroyed he has to go and physically check
Also Voldemort treated each one specifically and they had sentimental value to him so making hundreds would be tough
Also I'm pretty sure if he split his soul 100 times he wouldn't have a physical form, he'd be like that ghost in book 1
every horocrux split his soul more and mutated him more. he was once a normal dude, now he looks like that. making more horoxruxes would deform him even more
his followers had to find the horocruxes to bring him back to life. if he launched them into space nobody would be able to get them. if he didnt tell everyone where they are, nobody would ever find them
Do you need a horcrux to be physically present to respawn? I don't remember that in Goblet of Fire. I thought it was just some weird potion and ritual.
By the way did Rawling ever disclose how to make horcruxes? Her editor said the description "nauseated" her but I assume that's just suburban yuppie sensitivity.
what's the point of hocruxes if they don't make you invincible? they just let you respawn in a different body, but it takes time and effort. if someone managed to avada him during the battle of hogwarts all death eaters would just run away like the last time and harry would have an easier time destroying the remaining hocruxes
>they just let you respawn
As opposed to being permanently dead.
True, it's retarded that "good" wizards never use Avada Kedavra when it's unblockable and they're against opponents who will 100% be using it.
they use it, the ban was even officially lifted for aurors during the first war
you don't need it, this thread is full of retards with headcanons
>make a bunch of horcruxes
>fling them into space
>functionally immortal
>get tooled by some retard baby holding a mirror
>now you're a gay ghost forever
good plan, nerd.
>fling them off randomly into the eternal vacuum of our solar system?
You're thinking of portkeys.
And what if he died and went there? He'd be stuck foating in space.
What was Voldemort’s tax policy?
Voldy was already in uncharted territory. There was only one other guy in history who managed to make a horcrux. It was thought to be impossible to create more than one.
Voldy managed to make 8 (7 intentionally).
he was a israelite, so he knows 7 is a powerful number
He was even worse than a israelite. He was - may Allah forgive me for uttering this word - an anglo.
it's been a long time but I assumed they were important for him to be able to find as well
Deh
But why isn't ginny one? And why isn't this recognized as a plothole by the fanbase?
>if not thousands of horcruxes and spread them into the deepest ocean trenches on earth
Because a competent wizard could easily find them
>accio horcrux
>most dark families know about horcruxes
>probably more than them since I'm sure they've spread that knowledge around more than a few times
>there arent thousands of immortal wizards running around
implausible
