Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today we're discussing a HORRIFIC Harry Potter Theory that bears the potential to completely flip the Harry Potter ending on its head.-It involves (you guessed it) our main antagonist Lord Voldemort- and a scenario in which Voldemort...*gasp*..SURVIVES. Voldemort is defeated (at least markedly) twice in the Harry Potter story. His first defeat was at the Potter residence in Godric's Hollow, where his rebounding curse (thanks to Lily's loving sacrifice) shot back at him and ripped his soul from his destroyed body. This marked the (temporary) end of Voldemort, and the end of the First Wizarding War. But Voldemort certainly wasn't done- oh no no. In 1995 Voldemort made his resurgence, more motivated than ever to take back control of the Wizarding World and get revenge on the boy who had defeated him. However, this didn't work out too well for him either, as shown in his final showdown with Harry during the Battle of Hogwarts. And after this final fated duel, it's generally accepted that Voldemort was dead. In the films, Voldemort's body broke off in to thousands of pieces and vanished in to nothing, and in the books the former dark-lord was reduced to a corpse just like anyone else.- Eventually, after all of the dust has settled, Voldemort's body is moved in to a resting Chamber within the walls of Hogwarts- something that the films fail to mention altogether. It's here- somewhere entirely unspecified within the castle- that Voldemort purportedly lay for the remainder of eternity.- Or...DID HE? The theory that I want to put forth today suggests that Voldemort, by way of- you guessed it- HORCRUXES- was able to survive.
