this Harry Potter The film cuts out some important details of the plot revolving around Lucius Malfoy Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which ultimately affected Voldemort’s overall Horcrux plan.

Lord Voldemort’s fruit for it.

On the second replay, it’s easy to see how Lucius threw Tom Riddle’s diary into Ginny’s cauldron. Later, after the memory of Tom Riddle, who appeared in the diary, was destroyed, Harry speculated the same, even confronting the Death Eaters about his actions. Lucius admitted what he had done. His disregard for the life of a young girl (or a girl at school) makes him a completely evil character, but what is his reason?
Lucius Malfoy Hopes Tom Riddle’s Diary Will Hurt Arthur Weasley
inside secret room The setting of Book, Flourish, and Blott is a little different. It is clear from the interaction that Lucius Malfoy has a deep grudge against Arthur Weasley, because he has enacted some laws that make it harder for wizards to possess dark items, especially those designed designed to deceive and harm Muggles. To avoid prison, Lucius Malfoy is forced to secretly sell some of his possessions (Harry in Borgin and Berks Harry Potter).
So Lucius Malfoy hatched a plan Harry Potter He hoped that would keep Arthur away from him. He happens to have a diary that, although he doesn’t fully understand it, leads to the opening of the Chamber of Secrets. He implanted a powerful dark object into Ginny Weasley in the hope that her participation in the murder of muggle-born children in Hogwarts would make a bad impression on Arthur Weasley and hoped he would. job loss. This would give the lowly Lucius Malfoy the freedom to have all the dark things he wanted without the annoying Mr. Weasley threatening his high status in the wizarding world.
Tom Riddle’s Diary Is Not Like Other Horcruxes
Another big problem is Harry Potter The movie never explains: How did Lucius Malfoy get one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes in the first place? Harry potter and the Prince And Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Explain that Voldemort will not leave the hidden pieces of his soul lying around for anyone to find. So why should journaling be any different? Albus Dumbledore in Half-Blood Prince Voldemort has a different plan for his Horcrux diary than anyone else, and Lucius Malfoy is believed to be a part of it.
Due to Voldemort being forced to close the Chamber of Secrets before the event Harry Potter, he planned to open it someday. He turned his diary into a horcrux and kept it until the opportune moment to return it to Hogwarts and let it do its dark work of exterminating Muggle-born wizards and wizards. Some time before his destruction at the Potter house, Voldemort gave the diary to his trusted servant Lucius Malfoy. He didn’t tell him what it was – just said what it would do. He also instructed him not to use it until he was ordered to. So Lucius kept it and waited.
Lucius Malfoy severely punished for using diary in Harry Potter
Lucius Malfoy kept Voldemort’s diary safe for ten years. However, when he began to face pressure from the Arthur Weasley division of the Ministry of Magic Harry Potter, he decided it was time to act. By this point, he thought his Dark Lord would never return. Thus, he was not afraid of the consequences of using the diary in situations where Voldemort had ordered him not to use it. Lucius didn’t know what it was, but he used it to his advantage. When Voldemort returned to find his diary destroyed, he went into a rage.
Dumbledore said to Harry Half-Blood Prince Tom Riddle’s diary was his first clue that Voldemort had created a Horcrux, and possibly more than one. He knew full well that the diary was a one-time only – so Voldemort had to make a backup. Dumbledore also learned through his wits (possibly Severus Snape) that the Dark Lord severely punished Lucius Malfoy for using the diary without permission. It could only be because the diary was more valuable than Lucius realized.
Why did the Harry Potter movies cut out details about the Horcrux Diary?
though readers Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Perhaps, Tom Riddle’s diary was Voldemort’s first clue to the creation of the Horcruxes. It was this crucial detail that led Albus Dumbledore to the idea that the Dark Lord might have created more than one Horcrux, something no living wizard had ever done. though, Harry Potter The film cuts out most of the diary’s details, including Lucius Malfoy’s motives for using it and how this affects Voldemort’s plans.
That’s because, in the end, Lucius Malfoy’s movie partner doesn’t need a sinister excuse. He’s the dark dad of Harry’s least favorite classmate, and that’s enough. Also, because Horcruxes are a new concept for viewers Harry potter and the Princethis movie can’t explain why Voldemort would leave the diary to Lucius, and Horace Slughorn’s memories are enough to prove that Voldemort’s soul has a total of seven pieces. Harry Potter Books tell a more cohesive story that movies don’t.
