Talk:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Analysis

Why did Harry survive he killing curse from Voldemort the second time? Well, he didn't. Harry was actually killed and went to they way station. Unlike the author of the Muggles' Guild, I believe that the reason Harry had a choice as to whether to go back or go on as Dumbledore says, is not that Voldemort was his horcurx, but that Harry was the Master of Death. From the time he had taken Draco's wand, he had become the "Master of Death". For he had united the Deathly Hollows even though he did not realize it. They all were under his control and two were actually in his possession. He had received the invisibility cloak at his first Christmas at Hogwarts as a gift from Dumbledore because it had belong to James. He received the stone in the snitch as a bequest in Dumbledore's will. Dumbledore had just restricted Harry's access to the stone until Harry was ready to die, and then he could use its powers of bring the dead back. And as the Master of Death - Harry had a choice. He could go on or he could return to his life. It appears that the way a horcurx works, you are tied to this world and cannot leave as long as there is a horcurx. And you may or may not have a body to go with your life as demonstrated in the Chamber of Secrets and the Goblet of Fire. The fact that Harry had a choice shows he had something Voldemort did not - the Deathly Hallows, all of them. I would presume that the Hallows powers would remain with Harry until someone else obtained one of the three objects. As far as the cloak and the stone go, it appears that possession creates ownership and the method of obtaining ownership does not matter. Tom Riddle Jr stole the ring with the stone from Morfin Gaunt when he framed him for the murder of his father and grandparents. He then wore the ring while at Hogwarts for he had it on in the Slughorn memories. Dumbledore stole the ring from its hiding place after Voldemort had converted it in a horcurx. And the the Resurrection Stone was the only object which was both a hallows and a horcurx. Only the Elder Wand must be forceably obtained to achieve ownership. And Dumbledore had obtain the Elder wand through his duel will Gelhert Grindlewald. Dumbledore himself came very close to being the Master of Death himself. The horcurxes explain how Voldemort stays alive. But it is the hallows which explains how Harry stays alive. As the Master of Death, you may chose to come back or to go on.
 * The thing about a Wiki is, if you see something that you feel is wrong, you can edit it. There are multiple writers of the Guide, and it's perfectly OK for you to be one of them... so long as you don't mind someone else coming in and possibly adding to or changing what you wrote later. So what I have done is, I have taken this thesis and added it, or at least the germane parts of it, to that analysis. Chazz (talk) 19:18, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
