is ginny weasly a horcrux

[Jonathan Jenkins]

well a horcrux is an object in which someone has concealed part of their soul and yes it is possible to make living horcruxes such as in naghini's case but in the chamber of secrets tom riddle(aka voldemort) stated that parts of his soul was pouring into her would that in turn make her a horcrux and since harry was a horcrux for about 16-17 years couldent his soul be stained or contaminated from so long so if harry is stained and ginny is a horcrux then whats going to happen to their children will they be parslemouthes like tom riddle but my main question is what do you think is ginny a horcrux?

Well no harry's soul wasn't contaminated because (as dumbledor tells him) voldemorts soul can't stand to touch a soul as good as harrys (I know he was a horcrux but I don't think that means that voldeys soul had to be rubbing shoulders with harrys the whole time). Also about Ginny I don't think that would work because the riddle that came out of the diary was possessing Ginny, that's what he ment by saying he was pouring his soul into her. I don't think a horcrux can split itself. And I don't see how it could effect their children, the only reason Harry could talk to snakes is cause he was a horcrux so when he wasn't one I assume that he couldn't anymore. Good question though :) would be a cool fanfic!

Who would she be a horcrux for? They got all the horcruxes from voldemort. Thats why Harry was able to kill him.

[Jonathan Jenkins]

all it said was harry's scar never hurt him again that dosent mean when harry dies ginny or their children couldent be used to revive voldemort again

I'd say Ginny is not a horcrux for three reasons.  First of all, you have to kill someone to make a horcrux.  While a lot of people got frozen during Ginny's time as a puppet, nobody actually died, so no horcrux could have been made.

Second, killing someone isn't enough.  You have to kill someone AND cast a particular spell to create a horcrux.  The wizarding world had plenty of killers (look at Voldemort's various followers), but only Voldemort himself made horcruxes.

Finally, storing part of your soul, and possessing someone, while both involve putting your soul into another vessel, are very different processes.  Voldemort's possession of Ginny would be like putting a hand into a glove.  When you remove the hand again, the glove is empty and back to its original state.  A horcrux would be more like Walt Disney's cryogenically frozen head (I know that's just an urban legend, but how often do you get to compare Disney to Voldemort?), just waiting for the time when we have the technology to unfreeze him and bring him back to life.  There's a much larger commitment and a much longer process to freezing your head then to putting on a pair of gloves.

That is totally possible except for the fact that they didn't have to do anything to ginny in order to kill Voldemort. Although that is a very convincing argument. There is another plot hole that I found as well, shouldn't Harry's mom be still alive? I mean James died to save Lily and Harry so shouldn't the curse that kept harry alive also keep Lily alive? and if it you think that it is because only women can do it, how come harry does it in the last book to protect all the surviving members of Hogwarts. I am going to have a thing in the forum for this if anyone wants to answer to it

[Jonathan Jenkins]

no because he was not given the choice to step aside he was just killed thus enacting no magic lily had the choice to step aside and let voldemort kill harry and she would have survived but instead she chose death in doing so she enacted a powerful protection for harry

This isn't a vampire thing.  With Ginny, it wasn't an "I'll-drink-your-soul-and-put-my-nastiness-in-you" thing.  It was more of an "I'll-consume-your-soul-entirely" thing.  It's like when you have a polynomial (sorry, can't do superscripts) x4 + x3 + x2 + x= 0.  When you solve it, you don't change the x's.  You just rearrange them to suit your purposes.  (I think that x can equal -1, 0, 1+i, and 1-i.)

Math metaphors aside, horcruxes are created intentionally.  Even Harry, the accidental horcrux, was almost murdered in the attempt to make a horcrux and with the intention of making a horcrux.  Voldemort's soul had already been split by the elder Potters' deaths, but diary-Voldemort had not split his split piece of soul further.  That's what he was trying to do, but you can't make an accidental horcrux with only the intent of splitting your soul to be able to make a not-accidental horcrux; you need to have your soul split some so that when you don't actually kill anybody, there will still be an extra piece of a soul to be able to accidentally become housed in an object (or, as the case may be, a person).  If she did accidentally become a horcrux, diary-Tom, whose soul piece had not been further split, would have entered her entirely, possessing her completely, but that's not possible because that would be horcrux transfer, and I'm pretty sure that if a soul piece is in an object, it's going to stay in an object.

As for Harry's soul being stained, I don't think it would have been any more than anyone else's.  As proved in Order of the Phoenix, Voldemort can't really possess Harry because Harry is too loving.  No, Voldemort left a stain on time, and that time is what changed people's souls.

Since Voldemort is dead as a doornail (that is, if a doornail could be dead), he has no horcruxes left, so Harry and Ginny cannot be horcruxes.  Otherwise, they would be dead, we would use "had been," and there would be no children to speak of.  If we are to assume that being a horcrux affects a person on a genetic level, we should also assume that NOT being a horcrux after being a horcrux affects a person on a genetic level.  Since Ginny was mathematically proven to have never been a horcrux and Harry was genetically modified and remodified so that he was not a horcrux, neither was a horcrux at the times of their children's conceptions.  Therefore, any Voldemort soul fragments could not be passed on to the children.  Ta-da!
