Is Voldemort a virgin?

496 replies

And any other Harry Potter mysteries!

Can anyone answer mine?
Is Voldemort a virgin?
What happened to Rodolphus Lestrange?
Why do some spells take weeks and hours of homework to learn, yet Harry can imperious people by just saying it?

Anyone else? I've got more, can't think just now. Just finished re-reading!

This thread is bloody brilliant...I can't believe I have only just found it. As for your first question well read cursed child.

Excellent work folks- what a brilliant thread!

Most of my questions have already been asked on here, so I won't repeat them (what did happen in that cave though?!)

Sickened by the Umbridge revelation.

As to the question posed by the title- DH and I are split on this- I think he's not (would've been sleeping around at school, capable of charming people, uses people to get what he wants). DH thinks that the idea of Voldy sex is ridiculous.

Loving this thread - particularly after the new book.

I just learned that Patronus was a real word - meaning protector in latin.

I wonder if JK read this thread and giggled.

Pineapple I thought of this thread as soon as I read it! Gave me the giggles.

I won't spoil this for those who haven't read Cursed Child yet...but NOOOOOOO! JK, what were you thinking? Ridiculous plot twist and so unrealistic!
It could never have happened!

Love this thread, spent a nice afternoon in the garden reading while the Dc looked after themselves played.

My question is why go to all the effort of making the triwizard trophy a port key? Why not an ordinary object? Surely changing Harry's soap or equivalent would have been easier, off he goes for a shower and poof off he goes to the graveyard unarmed and unclothed.

Secondly, how do you obtain a house elf in the first place?

The centaur revelation is a shock to me and quite sickening despite how much I despise Umbridge.

Love this thread! Have joined Pottermore and a bit disappointed to find I'm a Hufflepuff (something of a geek in RL so always thought I'd be Ravenclaw) although DH and I call each other "badger" for a reason neither of us can remember now so maybe the sorting hat does know Wink

LV would have definitely been into twisted s & m, killing the women as he finishes . That way he still has total control. Like Joffery in the Game of Thrones.

Bellatrix...

Also, I'm sure he could MAKE people do all sorts of things...

I watched PS last night again with my daughter. We were discussing how at the end, when Harry's in the hospital wing, Dumbledore told him, "What happened with you and Prof Q is a secret so naturally everyone knows about it."

But they couldn't have been told Quirrell had V in his turban - there's loads of "He's not back" denial in the following books. Even a "He was here but now he's floated off" would have caused an uproar.

Maybe they were told about the PS and how Q wanted to steal it but Harry saved it.

I always thought what happened in the cave with the orphanage children was torture/attempted murder, not sexual tbh.
Though I assumed Umbridge was mistreated by the centaurs, from first reading.

I'm seeing the Cursed Child on the final preview weekend before the official opening, so pleased I'll see it before the book comes out as I have no restraint where HP is concerned!

Ginny knows her because they are in the same year. She says it in the book when they are on the train. She never says she knew her because they lived near each other.

That's what I mean - how could Ginny know her and Ron not, given our earlier conversation about home schooling networks and so on?

scandichick · 01/03/2016 20:59

But Luna lives near the Weasley if I recall correctly, so it's odd that Ron never met her - especially as Luna and her father are invited to Bill's wedding. Maybe they withdrew from society at her mother's death? clutching at straws

I thought Ginny introduced them? She does in the book. It's just the film that they make it up and change bits.

MrsHathaway · 01/03/2016 20:53

Then why does Hermione know Luna to introduce to Harry and Ron, and Ron appears to be oblivious?

mermaid, is the centaur thing correct then? I only read it online and thought surely not. As my name suggests, I don't get things that are hinted at Grin, unless it's spelled out quite clearly I'm never sure. Although yes, the goat thing was heavily hinted, I think the word 'improper' was used. I did assume Tom Riddle tortured muggle children rather than abuse them. That's quite dark!

We need JK to clarify. Grin I'd say we should tweet her but it may not be appropriate and she may not answer.

I find the lack of travelling mentioned above fascinating - imagine being able to nip into your friends and family with zero travel time. No commuting to work, or to pick up kids.

Fancy some sea air? Apparate to Cornwall for the afternoon.

Wizards must have been low housing costs, given that location is largely unimportant...
