Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

I can't deal with people anymore, I honestly think I've become a bitter old lady at the age of nineteen.

It should be illegal for you to take a hundred if it's lower then $50, would save so much time!  Had a customer challenge me telling me that I short changed them, I counted it out right in front of you!  Then tell me I short changed them $20! I'm not falling for that and having my drawer short nope, so my managers counted my drawer and was even,  dang lady tried to scheme me!

SOMEONE CLARIFY THIS FOR ME PLS:

I am irked because I just saw a tumblr post of people arguing about whether or not Phoenix tears could've saved the Horcrux inside of Harry after the Basilisk fang jabbed him and it's like 2:30 am but now I'm super conflicted. Obviously the horcrux should've fought back, and the plot hole is going to drive me nuts XD Surely that's what this is, right? If I'm 17 years into Harry Potter books and missed something that big, imma be pissed.

I think that is possible but this is the first time I am thinking about it
I mean, that Horcrux was part of him, you could kill that part and we know you can do that with Basilisk fang so that part should be dead after attack but it wasn't so only logical explaination is that Phoenix tears saved it from dying

Right, but the Horcrux didn't react like it should have, and he didn't do that weird dissolving thing Voldy did, even in part. My best bet is that she hadn't thought of it yet, but I wish she had explained that away.

I had the same crisis over this! Luckily she's clarified it a few times, including this one interview:

Q: When Harry was stabbed by a basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, since he was a Horcrux shouldn’t it have been destroyed then?

JKR: I have been asked that a lot. Harry was exceptionally fortunate in that he had Fawkes. So before he could be destroyed without repair, which is what is necessary to destroy a horcrux, he was mended. However, I made sure that Fawkes wasn’t around the second time a Horcrux got stabbed by a basilisk fang, so the poison did its work and it was irreparable within a short period of time…. I established early in the book, Hermione says that you destroy a Horcrux by using something so powerful that there’s no remedy. But she does say there is a remedy for basilisk poison but of course it has to be administered immediately and when they stab the cup later – boy I’m really blowing this for anyone who hasn’t finished the book – there’s Fawkes, is my answer. And thank you for giving me a chance to say that because people have argued that quite a lot.

Basically, he didn't die so the Horcrux didn't, is my understanding. Crisis averted? xP

BUT second time he didn't die either but Horcrux did
xD
So I think it's matter of time, like J.K. say, first time Phoenix helped him immediately
