King's Cross and repulsive creature

Last January we had entertained the repulsive creature that Harry saw at King's Cross. Have been put forward various proposals for identification. Let me now offer my own.

It seems necessary since the presence of Harry in King's Cross. Obviously, this is a place outside the world they live in Ron, Hermione and other friends. In that place Dumbledore can see Harry, who is certainly dead, and talk to him. The visible figure of Dumbledore can not be his body lying dead in the white tomb. It is rather a manifestation of the staff of Dumbledore, which is expressed through an image of his former physical shape.

Harry, meanwhile, is not dead. In the dialogue with Dumbledore, it ends up saying clearly, adding that this will be ready to agree Harry. Harry's body is still in the Forbidden Forest, where he was just hit by ' Voldemort's Avada Kedavra. The image (visible, but palpable) that Harry sees himself in King's Cross is therefore not his body, but a manifestation of Harry's personal.

At this point nothing prevents the repulsive creature, like a spoiled baby, which sees Harry in King's Cross, is the manifestation of personal Voldemort, whose body is lying unconscious at the moment in the Forbidden Forest.

So there I would see the fragment of Voldemort's soul that was over in Harry's scar, and not one of the fragments that had been or were still trapped in the other horcruces . It may well be that part of the soul, horribly mutilated by the killings, which still resides in Voldemort's body.

As Harry sees himself and the new journey that could take if he died, so he sees Voldemort and the impasse which has voluntarily pulled alley cieco da cui non potrebbe più uscire, se prima di morire non provasse un qualche rimorse.

La stazione di King's Cross appare come una specie di luogo virtuale, in cui la diversa condizione morale di Harry e di Silente da una parte e di Voldemort dall'altra viene espressa in modo visibile, con il ricorso a immagini. Sembra che i miti si scrivano ancora, e si leggano volentieri, quando sono scritti bene.

Kreacher, a year after

Nel giugno di 2007 avevo scritto un post riguardo a Kreacher: la fine di Harry Potter: Kreacher!

HP6 si chiudeva sul mistero di RAB. Poco tempo dopo, Wikipedia pubblicava un articolo che riconosceva in RAB Regulus Black, e il medaglione- Horcrux nel pesante medaglione Black found at home, that locket that no one could open. Regulus had taken him there. I explained that there was an error in Italian translation: "locket" was translated lock, which made the sign unreadable for the Italian reader.

Obviously, the medallion had been brought there by Regulus. But how Regulus had to overcome the protections that prevent access to the cave?

A year ago it seemed that Kreacher was the only one that could have accompanied Regulus in the cave. Just like a minor Harry, a house-elf would not be counted as a magician adult when crossing the lake on the boat. In this way, it would not be taken to prevent the protection to cross the lake in two. I assumed that he could have Kreacher drink the potion on command of Regulus.

We had also discussed thoroughly. The chapter "Kreacher's Tale" in HP7 is therefore not come as a surprise for us. Indeed, Kreacher went with Regulus to the cave to help you take the medallion.

There are also some things we did not anticipate.

The first is that Kreacher had been in the cave with Voldemort. The reason is stated as follows: "This, then, how Voldemort Was HAD tested the Defences surrounding the Horcrux: by borrowing a disposable creature, a house-elf" (HP7, p. 160 ed. Bloomsbury).

The reason some of us an excuse not to have discovered that Kreacher had been in the cave with Voldemort: it was a test of a control. Since no control is absolutely necessary to Voldemort, no one could predict.

This does not mean that the plot of HP7, the first trip Kreacher is pointless. For the purposes of the plot, the fact that Voldemort is made to explain how Kreacher from Regulus Regulus came to know the location of Horcrux. It also explains how he could think of to bring out the medallion: having heard from Kreacher Kreacher as he returned, he thought the company could be repeated.

And here, as usual, Rowling has improved since our predictions. Instead of sacrificing Kreacher, as I supposed, Regulus has wanted from the beginning to sacrifice himself, he knew that Kreacher would have been able to split himself out of the cave, while the same Regulus would remain a prisoner.

In this way the figure of Regulus comes out better, and explains the attachment of Kreacher to him, which would have been less clearly motivated if Regulus had forced to drink the potion.

It seems to me that this would open a gap: I can not explain how Regulus is able to drink the potion that Dumbledore can not drink alone. Dumbledore needed Harry to compel him to continue drinking. Regulus stand it alone.
