Why Didn't Dumbledore Tell Harry About Basilisk Fangs? - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we'll be discussing why in Merlin's Beard Dumbledore didn't share his knowledge about Basilisk fangs with Harry before he died--something which would've arguably made things much easier for Harry, Ron and Hermione as they attempted to knock off Voldemort's Horcruxes.Now Basilisks--and their fangs--first came to our attention in the second instalment of the series: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
