Thrice Defied, Maybe Harry will not have to destroy all of the Horcruxes. Maybe. Options

[madquigslol]

In the prophecy it says: "THE ONE WITH THE POWER TO VANQUISH THE DARK LORD APPROACHES...BORN TO THOSE WHO HAVE THRICE DEFIED HIM, BORN AS THE 7TH MONTH DIES..."
We also know there are seven Horcruxes:

One in Voldemort
The locket
The cup
Something else
Something else ((that may be Nagini))
The Diary ((destroyed))
The Ring ((destroyed))

We know that the Diary and the Ring are gone, one piece of sole is in Voldemort and another R.A.B. has in the locket. This leaves three horcruxes left. Maybe as the three times James and Lily defied Voldemort, they destroyed three of his Horcruxes. This would mean Harry would only have to destroy one Horcrux himself (the locket), then go in for the kill on Voldemort!

First off, welcome to the boards.

Secondly, there have been so many postings in the past about Horcruxes and all, don't be surprised or mad if this gets either closed or moved. It certainly won't be personal.

Finally, you bring up a good point. I honestly don't remember if anyone else has brought something like this up before. While I am not so sure Harry's (or Neville's) parents actually destroyed any of the remaining horcurxes themselves, they may have had a few clues as to what and where the remaining ones were but were unfortunately dealt with before having the chance to get them. I wouldn't be surprised if this is where Harry ends up getting some of the information he needs.

I definately think though that in the final book we will not only find out more about what Harry's parents did for a living and such, but also exactly how they defied Voldemort three times that put them on his hit list.

Hmm...you could've said this in the "was dumbledore wrong" thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Anyway, I see how this is possible as the final book is so short, but I would like to think that the locket will provide an interesting look, find, and destroy plot if this is how it ends up.

Where did you hear how long the book is? I heard a few people say its as short as the 4th one but ive not actually seen any qoutes of some sort.
But since we're talking about horcruxes: I think that would be a great twist to the story...but wouldnt it be a better read if Harry journey's to destroy all the horcruxes? instead of destrying one and finishing V it would be more interesting i guess to see him destroy all the horcruxes.
A good possibility though.

First with the length of the book, you can look on amazon or any other website that has it on there and it says the length. it is 784 pages according to amazon.
But back to topic. I don't think they destoryed an Horocux, but there might be something about the battles that is important. Like that he hide one there or something. Remember Harrys parents weren't the only one who Thrice defeated him. Neville parents also defeated him. Because the profacy could hit Neville and Harry.
But this is a good theory.

This leaves three horcruxes left. Maybe as the three times James and Lily defied Voldemort, they destroyed three of his Horcruxes.

An excellent theory I haven't seen before. A nice change. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But, as we know, it could've been either Neville or Harry that V went after. If the thrice defied the Dark Lord part was insinuating Horcruxes, then that would've meant that James and Lily or Frank and Alice had gotten hold of at least one and destroyed it. If it wasn't James and Lily, then Harry would still have quite a search on his hands.

I definately think though that in the final book we will not only find out more about what Harry's parents did for a living and such, but also exactly how they defied Voldemort three times that put them on his hit list.

To be quite frank, I'd be very disappointed if we didn't find out that information, FW. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) That's info I've just {frantic voice} Got To Know!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Well, I know why they were on his hit list (hehe, cute), but I'd love to know how they defied him three times.

HEY EVERYONE! Thanks a ton. I appreciate it all, really. I know it could have been frank and Alice, and I was thinking about that when I wrote this theory, but since James a Lily are Harry's parents, and It's Harry journey, I was kinda hoping it would be them and Frank and Alice just defied him in battle or something.... also, I personally love James a Lily and so thats kinda why I centered this whole thing around them.





PS: Look at my new theory under
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Characters/actors
I think its solid.

So I'm almost positive that the "thrice defied" has nothing to do with the Horcruxes.

Dumbledore seemed to know the circumstances behind the three instances, and he also knew about the horcruxes. But he didn't develop the horcrux theory until after the diary showed up. It wouldn't make sense to James and Lily to have known about the horcruxes and not to have told Dumbledore.

But I'm very interested in the circumstances of the thrice defied. I hope we find out in book 7.
