what would happen if you threw a horcrux through the death curtain in the department of mysteries?

Kitt Hodsden

It would die.
Because only magical things can kill it.
and the death curtain is magical.
Alternately, it would live forever, because you wouldn't be able to go in and kill it.

Mark Smith
2:25
exactly!

Kitt Hodsden
2:26
heh.

If I was Voldemort, I would have stashed one in there. Seems a good hiding place, just in case the latter is true.
Alternatively, if I were Harry, I would have been thinking about trying to use that to destroy them.

Kitt Hodsden
2:26
I don't know.  Storing on in Harry was pretty smart, too.
storing one in Harry,  I meant to type

Mark Smith
2:26
I figured.
bah.
short sighted
both the snake and harry were poor choices. they were eventually going to die anyway!
I was thinking while reading the book that once the diadem was destroyed everything was cool regardless of what happened next.

Kitt Hodsden

Could you keep one in suspended animation forever?

Mark Smith
2:27
it seems like if you could keep somebody alive forever, that the horcrux thing would be moot.

Kitt Hodsden
2:28
:\  good point.

Mark Smith
2:28
anyway, just a brain teaser.

Kitt Hodsden
2:29
a very good one.
