Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows (w/Spoilers)
0bsessions:
I recall reading that the killing curse would outright destroy a Horcrux. Thus, his entire soul was destroyed, with the exception of what was left in his body. The idea that it is just removed from Harry and sent to limbo makes absolutely zero sense.
Lines:
I have to agree with Obsessions. Voldie killed the host of a horcrux and I see that as also killing the part of the soul that was housed within the host. I think if Neville had not had Godric's sword, he still would have been able to kill Nagini and destroy that horcrux as well. That's why Dumbledore thought that Voldie putting part of his soul in a living creature (Nagini) was a bit odd, as it could be killed.

The Horcruxes were destroyed, and with them the fragments of Voldemort's soul were destroyed utterly. If they merely moved onto the afterlife indivudally, there would be no consequence for him, as they'd be together again once all the horcruxes were destroyed.

Well, you're wrong. I sure as fuck read the whole thing through without skimming it and sure as fuck wanted to like it. I really wanted to like it. You really have no idea. I love the Harry Potter books.
What I'm saying is that no reason you guys have proposed for that "soul fragment" being there makes sense. If the parts of Voldemort's soul that are destroyed cease to exist, then they shouldn't be in the afterlife, but neither should the soul that he's still using. Harry only goes to the King's Cross purgatory after Voldemort curses him, so why should Voldemort's soul fragment be there since nothing has happened to it?
Lines:
First off, calm down dude. I'm sorry it wasn't what you expected, but seriously, calm down. Second, it was a glimpse of what would happen if Voldemort did not feel remorse and put his soul back together. It was what was waiting for him, not what was already there. Harry saw what Voldemort was doomed to, not what was already happening.
Ernest:
If that's true, then I think the thing is superfluous. Look guys, I don't like it. I think there is not enough closure with Voldie. For the most part, though, I really did like the King's Cross chapter. It's because Dumbledore was in it, and he's her best character and plot device. Sorry I got all huffy, but I've already stated in this thread that I tried to like the book, and I don't like it when I'm accused of skimming it. If I had merely skimmed it, I wouldn't feel confident enough to argue about it.
