So why would Voldemort think it was the perfect place to conceal a piece of his soul?The guys break down Voldemort's arrogance, how he viewed other wizards, and why this decision actually tells us more about his character than it does about the room itself.Along the way, they discuss the difference between a plot hole and a character flaw, whether Voldemort truly understood the Room of Requirement, and some increasingly ridiculous Horcrux-hiding alternatives.⚡️Topics include:• The Room of Hidden Things explained• Why Voldemort trusted the Room of Requirement• Voldemort's arrogance and downfall• Character flaws vs plot holes• Could anyone else have discovered the room?• The best and worst Horcrux hiding spots• Should HBO expand on this in the new series?Listen now 🎧⏱️ Timestamps00:00 Intro + listener reactions to previous debates01:00 Could Harry have used the Invisibility Cloak during the Seven Potters?03:20 Why that plan probably doesn't work07:45 This week's question: the Room of Hidden Things08:20 Why Voldemort thought the room was safe09:15 Character flaw or plot hole?10:30 Could the room create its own objects?11:20 The problem with hindsight12:15 Why Voldemort's arrogance matters13:00 Horcruxes on the moon? 🌙13:45 Final verdict + HBO discussion14:20 Outro
