The REAL Reason Dumbledore Knew How to Find the Cave - Harry Potter Explained

Video Description

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. During his childhood, a young Tom Riddle visited an undisclosed seaside location with his orphanage. And it was on this trip that Tom discovered the infamous ‘cave’ - a location that would play a large role in his future as the Dark Lord ‘Voldemort’. You see, not only was the Cave a place of Torment for Tom’s fellow classmates, it was also the place that housed one of his Horcruxes- Salazar Slytherin’s locket. "An eerie sight met their eyes: they were standing on the edge of a great black lake, so vast that Harry could not make out the distant banks, in a cavern so high that the ceiling, too, was out of sight. A misty greenish light shone far away in what looked like the middle of the lake; it was reflected in the completely still water below. The greenish glow and the light from the two wands were the only things that broke the otherwise velvety blackness, though their rays did not penetrate as far as Harry would have expected. The darkness was somehow denser than normal darkness." And in order to ensure the secrecy and protection of the cave, Tom went to great lengths. First of all- the cave was not easily accessible, requiring uncommon mountaineering skills due to the cliffs that prevented boats from approaching. And to deter unwanted visitors, Tomt placed a series of enchantments on the cave. First of all he made it impossible to Apparate inside, underestimating the abilities of house-elves who could still bypass this restriction. Next he constructed a small entrance that required a blood sacrifice to open- as Voldemort wrongly believed that physical pain weakened those entering the chamber. Inside the cave, the entrance was guarded by an inferi-infested lake- an army of undead soldiers that would jump out of the water and attack anyone who attempted to retrieve the guarded Horcrux. ▼ PODCAST (SPOTIFY) https://open.spotify.com/show/6EELBIYpnerxOxBh2wENgF?si=fae6259da94f4a9b ▼ PODCAST (APPLE) https://podcasts.apple.com/in/podcast/harry-potter-theory/id1626573626 ▼HARRY POTTER THEORY EXTRA CHANNEL (MORE CONTENT!) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr4oWINCOyax0_-VS4FIGaQ ▼MYTHOLOGY CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMNO5DyuBpWRlWwTjqaP6RQ ▼ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/hptheory/ ▼MAILING ADDRESS HP Theory PO BOX 37584 North Vancouver RPO The Quay BC V7M 0G4 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVqoigIqNacy9xMnEDZzN_Q/join Please LIKE / SUBSCRIBE / SHARE to support the channel Leave your video ideas down below!
