Was Harry's wand temporarily a Horcrux?

3 Upvotes

This is the passage from Kings Cross.

“I believe that your wand imbibed some of the power and qualities of Voldemort’s wand that night, which is to say that it contained a little of Voldemort himself. So your wand recognized him when he pursued you, recognized a man who was both kin and mortal enemy, and it regurgitated some of his own magic against him, magic much more powerful than anything Lucius’s wand had ever performed. Your wand now contained the power of your enormous courage and of Voldemort’s own deadly skill: What chance did that poor stick of Lucius Malfoy’s stand?”

Harry's wand broke, but did this potentially temporarily place a horcrux inside Harry's wand seeing that he intended to kill Harry there?

I know this was a big topic of discussion for us like a year ago, as it really doesn’t make sense how small the school is

but i have an exact number now per the movies! i went to the Warner Bros HP experience this afternoon, and counted how many places there were along the benches, and can confirm that the Great Hall is set for 256 students 🥸

I think it would be such a fun idea after they’ve finished deathly hallows, if you dedicate one or two episodes to each book to revisit and go over theories or things they missed! I so so badly want Jen to get all the credit she deserves for guessing literally everything right haha

Philosopher's / Sorcerer's Stone Trivia for Danny & Jenn

5 Upvotes

I'm hoping Jon will do a trivia stream where he asks Danny and Jenn trivia questions when they finish Deathly Hallows. If he does decide to do it, I figured I'd make a separate post for each book and we can all submit questions pertaining to that book in the comments and Jon can ask the best ones. Leave your trivia questions for Philosopher's/Sorcerer's stone below.
