Why the Order of the Phoenix Didn't Hunt Horcruxes - Harry Potter Explained

Hey everyone,

Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday, and I just wanted to let you all know that I’ve got tons and tons of videos planned for 2021. For today’s video, I’m going to be discussing the Order of the Phoenix and the hunt for Horcruxes.

The Order of the Phoenix is of course a secret society that was originally founded by Dumbledore in the year 1970. The purpose of the organization was to oppose Lord Voldemort and his followers- and it was this same organization that valiantly fought against Voldemort and his followers for 11 years before Voldemort’s FIRST defeat. After the first war the Order disbanded, however, when Voldemort returned in 1995 they picked up where they left off. The organization is filled with a multitude of powerful witches and wizards- each boasting their own unique magical abilities- but one thing that could potentially appear strange is: why didn’t they help Harry locate Horcruxes? Surely an organization full of powerful Aurors and professors could have helped Harry, Ron and Hermione- couldn’t they?

A horcrux is an object in which a dark witch or wizard has imbued part of their soul. The ultimate purpose of creating a horcrux is to achieve immortality. However, the truly sinister component of creating a horcrux is that in order to produce one, you must MURDER someone. Voldemort began creating his horcruxes in the year 1943- starting with the diary of Tom Riddle which was produced as a result of the murder of Moaning Myrtle. After that- he went on to make many more- and the tricky part about Horcruxes is that they can almost be anything- making them exceptionally hard to locate. As long as the Horcruxes existed- Voldemort would continue to stay alive- which meant that locating and destroying them was essential.

So..again - If destroying Voldemort’s horcruxes was the ONLY way to defeat him- why on earth was the task left to 3 students? Why didn’t they use the manpower of the Order of the Phoenix?
