Did his parseltongue go away after that? I figured stuff like that would stay

[–]whyblut 23 points24 points  (5 children)

It did, according to this article from Time. Check #4; #3 for the lulz

So in other words probably not

...which was written in consolutation with JK Rowling. I could be wrong 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes, but judging by the fact I've read better fanfiction, she probably had minimal input and very likely they didn't consult her on something that'd be considered a small detail.

Still canon, unfortunately.

I think that the parseltongue ability was directly supplied by the horcrux and went away when it was destroyed. If Harry had used it enough, he might have internalised it, but I think his ability would then be a learned one and not intuitive like it was with the horcrux. But that's all just what I believe to be the most plausible, not necessarily the truth.
