- Main Discussion: Chamber of Secrets, Chapter 17: The Heir of Slytherin
- 7-Word Summary: Memories reveal answers about Tom’s legacy fulfillment
- Are Horcruxes self-aware? Do they have a hivemind? Does the diary-version of Tom Riddle know he’s a Horcrux?
- How does a Horcrux work when another form still exists? If Tom Riddle weren’t killed here, would there have been a current Voldemort and a Tom Riddle, or would they have merged together?
- What if… Ginny had found fulfillment and happiness instead of being teased by her brothers, feeling like she didn’t fit in, and harboring unrequited feelings for Harry? Would Riddle have been able to manipulate her otherwise?
- Should Harry have told Tom Riddle what he knew about Voldemort's downfall? Did it inform Voldemort's future actions?
- We explore Signs that Tom Riddle is Voldemort: did we suspect this when we first read the book?
- If he didn’t have the brains or the power, why was Hagrid a good person to frame?
- Connecting The Threads to Half-Blood Prince: Fawkes, teenage Tom Riddle, the charming manipulation of others and the similarities between Harry and Tom
- Connecting The Threads to Deathly Hallows: The Sword of Gryffindor and Basilisk Fangs
