I don't have a problem with this explanation. Thanks. Vaun

My understanding of the horcruxes is that they didn't have anything to do with his power as a wizard, but only with his being unable to die. As long as his horcruxes existed, he would live forever. He was not aware that the horcruxes were being destroyed, he only knew about the first horcrux when Lucius Malfoy told him about the diary.

"Now, when I read constantly about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that the door is closing and that American society has found one more way to destroy itself." I, Asimov.

His power that he has in the final books are not dependent on the Horcuxes, he's been building that up since his 'return'. They had already split his power before he took on James and Lily. So, while it did hurt him, it didn't diminish the power he already possessed WITHOUT them.

Re: Final Harry Potter
I enjoyed Harry Potter 7 (indeed, the whole series, but if anybody else asks me, a writer, if I'm making as much money as Rowling, I shall hurl a Crucio spell at him or her). I was also confused about the wands until my husband explained them to me. :->
However, I'm still puzzled by the horcruxes. It seems to me that as each is destroyed that Voldemort, losing parts of his soul, would get weaker and weaker. My husband says, "It's magic. Deal with it." But it still bothers me. Was anyone else troubled by this? Is this a better explanation that
"it's magic"?
