Harry Potter Speculation

If this is true, then what item has Harry had with him since he was a baby and could possibly be the horcrux?

ooooooooo! Good theory, sister! Something of his mum's?
I haven't read the books that indepthly, so I wouldn't know.

We all know he has his mother's EYES!

I can't think of any object that Harry's had since infancy, at least not that JKR has mentioned thus far in the books. I think the Marauder's Map and the Invisibility Cloak are all untainted. I wonder if Voldemort could have put a horcrux in the Mirror of Erised?

I do think that there is something further significant about his wand. After all, some bird gave 2 feathers for the wands to be made: 1 feather went into Voldemort's wand, and 1 feather went into Harry's, making it the "brother wand" to Voldemort's. Could the wand be a Horcrux? After all, the wand "chooses" the wizard, not the other way around. Hmmmm.......

Or maybe....since Harry was a baby at the time his parents were killed, maybe Voldemort put a horcrux into Harry's baby rattle or something, and it's in a trunk in the basement of Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia's house, or something like that?

It was actually Fawkes who gave the 2 feathers. The only two he's given.

I don't think Ollivander would have carried a wand touched by Voldemort (and horcrux'd) I dunno... i don't think there's anything Harry had that was brought with him by Hagrid to Privet Drive. He was just a bundle of baby.

A phoenix gave the feathers, but do we know that it was specifically Fawkes?
"I remember every wand that I've sold Mr. Potter, every one. It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather resides in your wand, gave another feather. Just one other. It is curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar."

Found here, it says that in The Goblet of Fire (Chapter 36) it was Fawkes who was the phoenix to give the feathers for both wands.

It's in Goblet of Fire. When Harry learns why the wands fought each other. It is definately Fawkes' feathers in both wands.

Perfect, thanks. I read the books immediately when they're published and then I don't look at them again until the next book (or movie) so I am forgetting a lot of this stuff.

Do these people not realize that it is all made up? It can't teach children to perform spells that aren't actually SPELLS. They're just quasi latin words. Waving a stick around and saying them will not a) cause magic to happen or b) summon the devil to take your soul to hell. (I know, I've tried)

Using this woman's inane logic, all of Todd Stasser's books should be banned from school libraries too. She think her kids are going to be stuck in the various characters' bodies should her kids read them? How about Wizard of Oz, are her kids going to find their house flying to another land if they read that? By these standards, all fiction should be banned.

While I agree with just about every thing that you've said, I have never tried to summon the devil, there are some on LM's bandwagon who have tried and feel that they "suceeded." There are a few first hand stories on her organization's web site that state that because they wanted to know more about magic, that it lead to more intense materials. Those books led them to even darker material that didn't claim to be entertainment. Along with the new interest, it led to drastitic lifestyle changes. I thought that some of these stories sounded more like teen angst than anything else.
