Hey everyone, welcome to another instalment of Harry Potter Theory.

Today we're going to be discussing the darker sign of the wizarding

world, diving deep into the subject of Hawkerxes and discussing a historical figure who

created a hawkrux long before Voldemort ever did. J.K. Rowling once revealed that, over

the course of history, many witches and wizards

tried to create a hawk rugs, in spite of a severe lack of instructions from evil textbooks.

Wizards would have been looking for ways to do exactly what Voldemort did for years, and some

of the ways they would have tried would have killed them.

So, I imagine it, well, they're huge parallels.

Splitting the atom would be a very good parallel in our world.

I do imagine that other people are going to have tried.

I think it would be naive not to think that people have been trying for a long time, and

thought they succeeded and hadn't, or else maimed themselves or killed themselves in the attempt.

It's such a dangerous thing to do.

What this quote tells me is that maybe, just maybe, there's a wizard out there that

was able to produce a hawkrux before anyone else.

They just never made it into the history books.

After all, if the idea of producing a Hawkerks is self-preservation, why would you want

to boast about it and bring it to everyone's attention?

I happen to have one very good guess for who this wizard might be, the original Hawkerux

creator.
