I underestimated the power of the bottle
When I used to think about Voldemort’s horcruxes I imagined a soul divided in equal portions residing in the different horcruxes and Voldemort himself. I realised that this can’t be true in The Half-Blood Prince Slughorn describes making a horcrux as splitting ones soul in two. This means that when Riddle made his Diary into a horcrux he split his soul in half and physically removed one half from his body and placed it in the diary. This means that he only had half of his soul left when he made his next horcrux, Marvolo’s ring. This half would have been split in half leaving only a quarter in Voldemort’s body. This goes on and on the amount of soul remaining in Voldemort halving each time he makes a horcrux until he had only 1/128 or 0.78125% left in his body. As shown in the graph above. So next time you wonder why Voldemort could have done some of things he did, remember how little human he had left in him. I don’t know about you but I think that this is crazy.
Come on guys, I didn’t do maths for 14 notes
#OKAY BUT CAN WE PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE TO APPRECIATE#THE OTHER THING THIS GRAPH THROWS INTO SHARP RELIEF:#THE FACT THAT FUCKING GINNY#HAD *HALF OF VOLDEMORT’S SOUL*#WHISPERING IN HER EAR AND CRAWLING INSIDE OF HER AND TRYING TO CONSUME HER FROM THE INSIDE OUT#YEAH#LIKE COOL HARRY HAS A SCAR AND CAN TALK TO SNAKES AND SOMETIMES GETS HEADACHES#POOR BABY#MEANWHILE GINNY ‘DERIDED BY FANDOM’ WEASLEY#TAKES IN HALF OF THAT FUCKER’S SOUL#AND STILL CAME OUT ON TOP#who’s your hero now harry potter fandom#yeah that’s what i thought (via riversonglife)
Harry has more Voldemort in him than Voldemort
Casual reminder that Ginny didn’t come out on top… In fact, she was about to die. She was a puppet.
I get it, what a feat to survive Voldemort whispering into her ear. But that was half a soul just using her as a skin suit. She didn’t fight it. She didn’t beat it. She almost got killed. She was being sucked dry and didn’t escape on her own power.
So yeah, Ginny is great, but don’t go twisting facts. Ginny almost died. She came stupidly close to dying and would have if Harry had been two minutes slower.
Moral of this story? Even half of Voldemort’s soul can fuck you up and threaten the lives of hundreds.
Dude, even with the 1/32 of his souls influence, harry managed to destroy the department of mystery, get Sirius killed and nearly killed dumbledore.
The real moral is that no matter what, his influence is dangerous.
America, you do not exist in a vacuum.
Gun control works.

These people, Republicans no less are fucked up.
So pregnant people are comparable to fridges now? Jfc.
Last I checked, people weren’t forced to keep milk in their fridge if they decided they didn’t want milk any more.
I'd think the whole thing would be tainted by the evil in the vampire. I mean, basic rule of physics: Everything seeks equilibrium. What's left of the vampire would slowly disperse throughout the holy water, removing the holiness of it thanks to the evil within said vampire. And yeah, even a small bit should ruin the entire batch. Holy likes "purity" and even the smallest bit of evil makes the water "impure"
Yeah, the person I consulted said it would be “diluted to worthlessness”
In regards to the "bless the water range" post, I'd agree with your conclusion, based on the evidence within the post. As for the vampire acid thing, I'd have to say yes to that too. One of the rules is the intent on using it as holy water, and one use of holy water is harming a vampire (in some canons). The problem then becomes "What happens to the water AFTER the vampire is dealt with?"
Well, the water wold be mixed with liquid vampire after I suspect.
We never see what happens when there’s more water than vampire, we only ever know of water being splashed on vampire.
Does the water retain it’s holiness after being used to kill a vampire?
We would need to ask an expert.
Spoke to an expert. he says that while it does retain some bit of holiness, it would be too diluted to use.
