Total Rewrite neededEdit

This page obviously hasn't been touched since book six. (I added the small mention of horcruxes.) In my opinion, this page needs to be totally rewritten. However, there is a lot of information here that I don't want to get rid of. Any thoughts on how this page should be edited with regard to the horcrux information in book six?

This page was a copy from Wikipedia and was rewritten with new wording to remove the plargarism from Wikipedia. I included as much as possible about the powers of the diary and it's use in Chamber of Secrets, as well as information about it being a Horcrux. --Wydok 06:41, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Why/how could Tom Riddle's diary come to life??? Edit

With the tom riddle's diary horcrux, voldemort almost had a clone, I guess, a seperate conciosuness, but still himself. Not a literal clone, like a genetic copy, but the same concept, I guess. The diary had a piece of his soul and it had it's own identity. How come the other horcruxes didn't have a conciosuness/identity, though???? Why only the diary??? Plot holes........ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Count Veger (talk • contribs).

But they did. You'll remember that the locket was able to exert an influence and had some pretty strong powers. But in the case of the diary, it was also implied that Tom Riddle had charmed it in a special way to act as it did. Dumbledore said it himself-- he was being very careless in allowing an object that housed a piece of his soul to be used in that way and would only do so because he knew he had other objects containing his soul.

Speculation, really . . . Edit

D'you think that Riddle was aware of the fifty years in the diary, or was, for lack of a better word, unconscious unless someone was writing to him? 68.99.140.120 01:10, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
