Fantasy Literature Questions
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Godric Gryffindor's sword was not originally made to destroy horcruxes - it was a goblin-made sword created for combat. However, after it absorbed basilisk venom when Harry used it to kill the basilisk, it gained the ability to destroy horcruxes. The sword destroyed multiple horcruxes but was not specifically designed for that purpose.

Correct answer
Explanation
The sword was forged by goblins for Godric Gryffindor, but it was not originally made to destroy horcruxes. It only gained this ability after Harry used it to kill the basilisk, causing the sword to absorb basilisk venom, which is one of the few substances capable of destroying a horcrux.
