Harry Potter fans are debating why both Horcruxes weren't destroyed in Chamber of Secrets.
A debate online is raging about whether a moment in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets would have resulted in the early destruction of one of Voldermort's Horcruxes. Horcruxes, as revealed later in the novels, are objects imbued with pieces of the dark wizard's soul, so he can never truly die as long as they remain intact.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY A Reddit user named ThailurCorp posted a meme in a thread for fans of the Harry Potter franchise that featured a young man lying awake and asking himself "If basilisk venom can destroy a horcrux... and Harry was the last horcrux... why didn't the basilisk destroy the horcrux in Harry when it bit him in Chamber of Secrets?" The user threw the question out to the community at large and received a wealth of responses.
Essentially, the destruction of the Horcrux wasn't due directly to the basilisk venom being present, but rather how it interacted with and countermanded the magic that brought Tom Riddle's memory to life. The magic that turned Harry himself into a Horcrux also operates at a slightly different level than that which made the diary. Harry was an unintentional Horcrux, created when Voldemort attempted to use the Avada Kedavra curse against him and was deflected by the shield created by Mrs.
All of this ties into the prophecy delivered by the Divination teacher Professor Trelawny, which states that "neither can live while the other survives." While Harry would eventually come back to life when the piece of the Horcrux is expelled from him, he did need to legitimately die in order for the prophecy to be fulfilled.
