[HPforGrownups] Harry, Horcruxes and Parseltongue

[June Ewing]

Geoff:
Following June's question, I did a little digging and discovered the following
information given by JKR at a Bloomsbury Live Chat in 2007:

"Whose murders did Voldemort use to create each of the Horcruxes?

JKR: The diary - Moaning Myrtle. The cup - Hepzibah Smith, the previous
owner. The locket - a Muggle tramp. Nagini - Bertha Jorkins (Voldemort
could use a wand once he regained a rudimentary body, as long as the
victim was subdued). The diadem - an Albanian peasant. The ring -
Tom Riddle Senior.

Can Harry speak Parseltongue when he is no longer a horcrux?
JKR: No, he loses the ability, and is very glad to do so."

Hope that sheds a little more light into some of the darker corners.


June:
aha, I knew I had read somewhere that he lost the ability to speak Parseltongue, I just couldn't remember where lol. Thank you for  looking this up Geoff.
