Why Bellatrix Lestrange Never Created A Horcrux 

"You are a faithful servant, Severus. But only I can live forever."

She did not create one because she enjoyed picking her nose from time to time. A pleasure Voldemort lost a long time ago

If bellatrix was in charge there wouldn’t be a story she would have gone and chucked baby Harry out of the window

They might not have created them because they wanted to idolise Voldemort and make him a god like figure

I always think the actress who played Bellatrix is beautiful

Cos she didn't know that they exist? If even Dumbledore needed information from Slughorn, that says the Horcruxes are incredibly rare pieces of magic, perhaps lost to the ages until Riddle found the knowledge of them again. If they were so common, or at least accessible to most Wizards, that all the chief Death Eaters had them, it would diminish their importance in the story greatly.

Voldemort once said to Snape in Deathly Hollows...”Only I can live forever”, which means he never intended to share immortality with anyone and was fine being alone. Movieflame in Why was Harry The Chosen One says “when ‘one’ has too much power causing an imbalance, the universe will provide a counter to correct that.” I posted there that if Voldemort shared everything instead of keeping it ALL for himself, then Harry wouldn’t be the savior as there isn’t an imbalance in nature.

I actually thought about this a couple times but never really went into it. So thank you for answering this question! 😊

Another thought is that no matter how much and to what level he trusted Bellatrix, he never fully and completely trusted anyone. If someone turned on him and he had to kill them, would he really want them to be immortal?

Voldemort said it himself, "only 'I' can live forever."

Bellatrix: Aye, how long am I able to serve you? Voldemort: **~Shrugs~** Voldemort: If you wanna do it forever how ‘bout you make a horcrux? Bellatrix: Horcrux, aye?

Sure puts a chasm between Bellatrix and Voldy. Thus makes The Cursed Child even more unlikely a story.

"Her only sense of purpose was to please her Master.." Voldemort: I need to have a child of my own. Bellatrix: Yess!! My Time has Come!!

i haven't watched this channel since 2017... i'm going to start watching again... used to ve my favorite.

Plus, Voldemort never liked to be like everyone else. If there were other immortals around, it would probably make him feel less extraordinary.

I feel like she’s the most likely to make one

No offense but I feel as though all of this is very apparent especially if you read the books.

Ooh, this is going to be interesting! I’ve never thought about this

How do you not know she did not have one? She could have one and like Voldemort her body would have just been destroyed

She didn't know his secret. No one did. He was using very old dark magic. Almost forgotten being he found in the restricted section, only ever speaking of it to slughorn. His reference to only I can live forever was a reference to the hollows and having all of them ,not the horcruxes.( From his stand point , snape could have been plotting to collect all the hollows and live forever, where as he only wanted the wand for now, the potential for betrayal was still there)We can assume only slughorn, nigini, qurierl, wormtail, and crouch jr knew his secret. Out of them only slughorn knew it was at least seven.. regulus and Dumbledore figured it out and the headmaster told snape and Harry, and Harry told Hermione and Ron. I'm sure his followers were only aware of his intense interest in several artifacts he owned. But they never know it was a horcrux. . So.. She never made one because there is a good chance she didn't know about it, are what it was, are how to make one. . In the movie only about 11 people knew his secret to immortality was a horcrux, and no one outside these 11 ever heard the word horcrux. I think it was away to keep it hidden from any copycat. For instance,, Harry told everyone about the crown ,but not that it was a horcrux, only that he had to find and destroy it. The world of magic seems to be faith in people and following to a fault out of loyalty..

Yeah, I believe he may have extended the lives of some of his most faithful followers for a while with some rare magic (to show off his power & encourage followers to try harder for his favor). Voldemort was too scared of dying though (& maybe too egotistic to admit he didn't create the process but instead just perfected what someone else discovered in the past) to share his immortality secret with anyone. He didn't understand real love & so I don't think he would've had any motivation to keep anyone at his side forever. He wanted to be a god-like ruler worshipped as the most powerful, & anyone else knowing the secret made him vulnerable to being overthrown, however slim the chance. He probably also intended (once he won & took over the world) to make sure all dark arts texts that had any clues to what horcruxes are & how they work would secretly be destroyed by him under the guise of "personally approving which textbooks to keep so that we don't have any that reference powerful mudbloods of the past" or such. He would want to make sure no one else could possibly figure out his secret in the future.

because she didnt know they existed... and even if she knew Voldy might have not shared his knowledge with her in the first place no matter how much she begged... cause he's Voldy but now he's going moldy

I always thought it was due to the death eaters feeling as though if they also created horcruxes, they feel as though it would be as though they were mocking and/or challenging him.

well she's looking at Voldemort all the time, so she's probably thinking I dont want to look like this....not sure if she did enough research about it, and Voldemort wont definitely divulge to her how he did it..

Great video as always! ;) I think there is one more reason. As long as he was the only one who knew his secret of immortality, no one could betray him and try to kill him, destroying horcruxes as Harry did. I'm sure Bella would never go against him, but the more people would knew, the risk would grow. And let's be honest - he was the one who was supposed to live forever, it was never worth the risk, sharing the secret.

"Only I can live forever" from this it is clear he would have killed anyone from his servants who would create a horcrux.

It seems like the information on their existence let alone how to make them is nigh impossible to find. Hermione, who basically lives for research, barely found any information herself in probably the most extensive library in the wizarding world outside of the information held in the ministry.

I totally agree that he didn't want to share his knowledge to set himself above his followers. Also, it kind of sounds like she was imperio'd.

i always thought that a horcrux requires more than just murder to be created, i requires both an incredibly complicated incantation and a very rare potion to be drunk prior to the event, in order to break the soul into pieces as required.

What is the wizard afterlife like? We know some become ghosts, but what about the rest? We have seen hints of the dead being there in some way with the resurrection stone and when Harry was fighting Voldemort in the graveyard.

I liked the old intro better Dean. It was more MAGICAL !

Bellatrix : Kills people randomly Also Bellatrix : _cheers cutely at the burning house_

Every time he says unicorn blood ,I'm keep on hearing unicron blood. Which raises the corpses of transformers, turning them into zombies.

Can you do a video on how Voldemort was able to live in squirrels turban for a whole year at Hogwarts without anyone being any the wiser thank you

Could u do a “what if aunt pertuna was accepted into hogwarts with lily

But if he kept knowledge to himself. Why did he learn snape to fly without a broom?

1 minute of explanation and 9 minutes of buying time to hit 10 minutes for double ads.

What made Bellatrix so insane, the incest or Azkaban?

An immortal Bellatrix is a truly scary rgought. An eternity to continual insanity

One thing ive been wondering is how voldemort didnt realize that Snape was on Dumbledores side after book/movie 1. Snape stopped Quirrel from getting the stone and from killing Harry on the broom and surely Voldemort would see this as he was apart of Quirrel right?

Because horcruxs are Voldemort’s thing

this kinda makes me wonder was herpo the fowl killed like voldemort? or did he just lose his body and is still out there somewhere like voldemort?

I clicked as soon as I saw it XD I love this Channel

Been like a month since I've seen a video, and that new intro animation is epic!

Bellatrix reminds me of Darth Talon from Star Wars Legacy. Both women were the most trusted, loyal and dangerous lieutenants of their respective masters; Darth Krayt in Talon’s case and Voldemort in Bella’s. The difference is that Bella is reckless and bloodthirsty whereas Talon is more tactical

I think Bellatrix knew that he was immortal and here is the reason why. During the trial scene in GoF, Bellatrix looked absolutely confident when she spoke up to Crouch Sr: "The Dark Lord will rise again, Crouch! Throw us into Azkaban; we will wait! He will rise again and will come for us, he will reward us beyond any of his other supporters! We alone were faithful!" During that time, she wasn't that impulsive and "crazy" as she became after Azkaban and we can see it from her behavior on the trial. She was the only one who stayed calm and confident. But how could she be SO convinced that someone can rise from the dead even theoretically? How did she know that they have to wait for their master to free them? You can say that she was simply obsessed with Voldemort and believed in everything she wanted to. However, from this trial scene and Bellatrix's behavior in it, I would say she knew something about his secret. Maybe not about Horcruxes but she definitely was aware of a possibility of rising from the dead. That it is possible. If she didn't, she wouldn't have even suggested this scenario. Also, it is important to mention the reason why she and other DE were convicted - because of their attack on the Longbottoms. Has anyone ever wondered why they attacked no one else but Alice and Frank? As you remember, the prophecy could have been made about one of two families: Potters and Longbottoms. So, Bellatrix definitely knew about such an important thing as the prophecy and Voldemort plans, otherwise, she wouldn't reach for Alice and Frank with her fellows. It is not related to the Horcruxes issue but it shows that Voldemort trusted Bellatrix more than others. He gave her a Hufflepuff's cup, he saved her from the Ministry (only her), he was upset when she died. So, there is a high chance that Bellatrix knew about Voldemort's immortality because a) she was 100% sure he will be back, b) she knew more than anyone else because she probably meant to him more than anyone else. P.S. Sorry for my English :D

First of all- every time you post a video, and especially a video on Bellatrix, I literally squeal! Also, this is such a clever question to ask oneself, especially for someone like Bellatrix. Sure, Voldemort was obsessed with immortality and was quite jealous of it, but what are the actual chances of finding someone so devoted? He could have "bred" some of the most competent Hogwarts students, training them himself and making them into the perfect weapons time and time again (if anything, he would have had nothing but that). It's my personal headcanon that Bellatrix knew about the Horcruxes (and I have book quotes to support that). Maybe he thought that actually giving her one would have made her his equivalent and that's why he refused. MAYBE THAT'S WHY HE WANTED TO MAKE DELPHI: a witch just as talented as her mother, there to serve him! Oh, you've opened a whole world of fanfiction possibilities right there! Keep up the amazing work!

Instead of the cursed child, I think a better Harry Potter sequel would be something like Bellatrix actually having made a horcrux and coming back to life (because in the movies at least) her body sorta just exploded, and in the book she would have tried to bring voldemort back to life somehow. Thoughts?

I was just wondering, why he uploaded a video at nearly 23 o'clock - but I think, he is in another time zone than me xD But it is interesting to watch a video just a couple of minutes after the upload ^^ Good night to everyone, who will go to bed now - like me

Bellatrix never made a horcrux for herself because she didn't know that such a ritual existed. Voldemort would *NEVER* have shared the secret of immortality with anyone, not even with his most trusted allies.

video idea: Was Nagini a basilisk? it makes sense, doesn't it? I mean we aren't sure what all basilisk look like so it could be completely possible that they could look like royal pythons. And since Nagini was a Horcrux then it would be fitting if she would be able to destroy them as well, the only reason I think Nagini isn't a basilisk is that the basilisk is portrayed as a legless lizard in the chamber of secrets, not a snake. thanks for reading

Belatrix is so badass it would completely destroy imo the content of her character to split her soul. She lived fearlessly, a bomb imploding, she could never shatter her spirit into some inanimate object. A true villan.

"Only I can live forever." Was that in the books? Or just the movie? There's a Dumbledore line that gets quoted all the time about turning on lights, but he never actually said it in the books.

This was such a great vid! Your points are so powerfully backed up, which is why I side with your reasoning every time and have nothing to say against it. Love you and your amazing vids sooooooo much!

Well, if Bellatrix really made a horcrux for herself, I think she will prefer to make human horcruxes and she will choose Bill or Hermione at first

How did Regulus Black find out about the horrocruxes? I believe he was the only deatheater that discover Voldemort's secret. The Dark Lord wouldn't tell anyone because for me inmortality was only his, for him. Please make a video about Regulus and horrocruxes next 🙏

Oh I've got quite an interesting question, can a horceux live forever as in the fact most of Voldemort's horceux's were inanimate objects but Nagini was a snake and snakes therefore are not immortal. Horcruxes can only be destroyed by a horceux destroyer so does that render nagini essentially immortal or is she a semi-unless horcrux who will die and become useless? Thank you! Sorry for the poor spelling

"Only i can live forever" this sums up everything he doesn't care

This video is great!

Hi can you make a video about Aberforth Dumbledore

7:39 There's another reason why Voldemort didn't want his disciples to create Horcruxes: having even his most trusted ones do so would mean *acknowledging depenendence* on others.

Maybe she did but it got destroyed in the Room of requirement fire. Just a theory.

Let's not forget the last words the Dark Lord exchanged with Snape, when he assumed he had been master of the Elder-Wand. "Only I can live forever". He would not have tolerated anyone being level with him in immortality. He wanted to make sure he'll forever be superior over anyone else - even his most trusted followers. For this reason, I doubt that he would have disclosed that the secret to his immortality were Horcruxes. Had he mentioned, his followers could have researched how it's done. Voldemort was always careful: to disclose his secret meant a key to a skill that he was not about to share. Because: even if they'd not master it, with enough research they could have found the weakness (how they are destroyed). Let's not forget the Death Eaters' loyalty was based on fear. Knowing how to destroy the Horcruxes, his followers could have plotted against him and bring about his downfall. The Dark Lord is dead, long live the Dark Lord...

plzzz make a video on what if dumbledore lost the duel against grindelwald !!! plzzzz.....

its obvious he wanted them to believe he was such a skilled magician he lived because of that , not telling them the only reason he did not die was because he had made it so , its obvius to me

Second one too watch video

If any deatheater would create horrocrux, Voldemort would stop (kill) them. If wizard is powerfull enough to create one, he/she is powerfull enough to become competition in the future. Even someone as loayal as Belatrix has a potential to overthrow Voldemort in the future. So that's why no one tried. Also, video idea. What if someone called CPS on Dursleys when Harry wasn't yet in Hogwarts? Or, better question, Why did no one caled CPS on Dursleys?

I think you hit the nail on the head!

Well, in the movie he did also say “Only I can live forever” so it would make sense he’d keep the secret for himself

Probably, she had knew or heard but she feared because it is very terrible. Even very bad dark witches or wizards fear something. And she feared from this. She didn't want to risk her afterlife like someone said below the comments. And there is one more possibility that she didn't care live or die. I think for her , death is a reality of nature. Her ancestors had lived and died and she knew she will die in the future like them . It is a line. I think she had no fears about the things like that. Death is natural. She had accepted it like any other normal witches and wizards . Bellatrix doesn't care about this. She can die for her master and it is a pleasure for her.

one thing you left out was the fact that the book that held the information about horcrux's was removed from the library right after tom riddle found it.

"only i can live forever"

I’d like to add that she probably never created her own horcrux because she thought that Voldemort would view her as a threat, or a challenger.

First

She might be his best follower, but she is not exactly ideal either... she's 100% devoted but also very unstable. My bet is that Voldy took great pleasure in moulding his followers and would have gladly replaced all of them over time... creating others would also open the door to being defied overtime. BUT if Bellatrix had her devotion and snape's composure (without being too smart) maybe he would have been a little bit more torn

Balletrick biggsese fans death eaters my favourite slytherin darco malfoy lucius your sister narcissus , my family malfoy like you magic kill hannah's Preston ,thank you

Voldemort would have never wanted anyone to 'live forever' like him, not even Bellatrix, because he would have feared they would try to usurp him. He had no love for anyone besides himself. Not even Bellatrix. The cursed child is fake lol. He was too paranoid to share any of his power and he would have looked at someone making a horcrux as sharing his power.

Please make a video on how each deathly hallows items came in hands of last owner before harry potter

You haven't done a "life of the weasley twins" They had an interesting life and everyone would love to see them again!

Voldemort would never have let her (or any of his other followers) create one. He wouldn't want anyone able to challenge his power. In the end he cared about no one but himself and everyone else no matter how loyal or powerful were just pawns, and in his eyes pawns could always be replaced. Bellatrix wouldn't dare to create one if she knew about them because she would have known Voldemort would be furious at her and see her as a possible threat.

I know this: J.K Rowling got her inspiration for Tom Riddle Jr and Tom Riddle Sr from a courtyard in Scotland called Greyfriars and Tom’s grave is there. So he is still buried there, I know all of this because I live in Edinburgh, Scotland

I've always figured very few people knew about horcruxes, even dark wizards, and that Bellatrix wouldn't have the mastery to do it anyway.

What happens if you kill someone who has been killing does it lift your violation to nature?

i think she cared more about her family than she realized, she cared so much for draco that she suggested to visit snape as a backup plan, so that he wouldn't be killed

I think if Bellatrix would create a horcrux it would probably be that bird skull necklace

where are you from? love your accent! (and the video as well)

If she was so loyal, then why didn't she offered herr wand to him when he asked from who he could borrow a wand to kill harry

Voldie was very protective over the horcrux business. I don't think he wanted anyone to really know that is why he was Mr Immortal.

Now, that would have been a perfect villain for the next generation! If she did indeed discover how to make a horcrux on her own and did so in secret. Then it would have just taken her 20 years later to reconstitute enough to possess someone in their generation and try to get evrything stirred back up...makes much more sence than her have a secret voldy baby!

I think that he would have kept horcruxes a secret to protect his own. Someone would have learned that destroying them would make him mortal, and hunt for them. Sort of like Regulus, but idk if Voldemort ever knew about Regulus figuring it out.

Well, actually, we don't know if she created or not a horcrux...

She didn't because she never knew about them, Voldemort didn't tell her because only he wanted to be immortal and Dumbledore took the book out before she came to school.

She didnt love Voldy that was a weird obsession..if u think about it no one loved Voldemort or even cared about him , same as him

Guys, another idea I just had watching this: What if that was another reason why Voldemort feared Dumbledore SO much (apart from the other reasons); he KNEW (& figured out) his greatest secret & told it to Harry . . . 🤔

Love for voldemort > Horcruxes

maybe Voldemort's death eaters might betray him and them Voldemort would not be able to quickly kill them

5:24 If Voldemort told her to jump Bellatrix would say "How high?"

I really like your videos. Your channels content is good. I only wonder why you pronounce “Any” differently while you don’t pronounce other words that much different.. ? It’s distracting when listening to the video. Otherwise it’s great 👍

You bring up a lot of interesting points in this. She may have had no interest in eternal life, but she was interested in eternal service. Yeah I agree with you, she definitely would have made one to be with Voldy forever.

Voldemort never cared about anyone. Not even Bellatrix. On the contrary, I believe he found her loyalty and adoration merely tiresome, as we can clearly see when she offers to kill Harry at the Malfoy manor meeting. " I appreciate your enthusiasm Bella but, I must be the one to kill HP" He also doesn't hesitate to whisper Harry to kill her after Sirius's death. He didn't care about Bellatrix, appreciated her loyalty up to a point, but would never want to make her immortal.
