What it is is a well known secret, and is never mentioned in any media, according to the Harry Potter Wiki. I think a quote from an answer to a different question might also add something here:. JKR: I see it as a series of things you would have to do.
So you would have to perform a spell. But you would also - I don't even know if I want to say it out loud, I know that sounds funny.
But I did really think it through. There are two things that I think are too horrible, actually, to go into detail about. One of them is how Pettigrew brought Voldemort back into a rudimentary body.
And then - and the other thing is, how you make a Horcrux. And I don't even like - I don't know. Will it be in the Encyclopedia? I don't know if I can bring myself to, ummm I don't know. This quote is from an Interview with Jo Rowling which was originally brought to my attention by Richard when he was answering the linked question. My point here is, obviously, the process of making a Horcrux is not just more than murder and murder is obviously to be differentiated from killing, as well , it is magnificently horrible.
Now obviously Tom Riddle wasn't afraid of getting his hands dirty, but one gathers that making a Horcrux is an involved process and the fact that he killed many on his rise to power is only one part of the puzzle.
But Lord Voldemort use tin cans or old potion bottles to guard his own precious soul? Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - p. On the whole, though, these are minor additional points. I think the main points are his fixation on the number 7 and the danger of having more than one Horcrux, alluded to elsewhere.
It warns in this book how unstable you make the rest of your soul by ripping it, and that's just by making one Horcrux! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - p. As an addendum to the existing answers, he may have had multiple parts of his soul within his body though the accidental creation of Harry as a horcrux means some explanation of how he has kept those pieces within him is necessary.

Why did Voldemort have only 7 Horcruxes? Ask Question. Asked 10 years, 1 month ago. Active 6 years ago. Viewed 37k times.
This number is surprisingly low, considering that to get a Horcrux, you need to murder a person. Are there some other requirements or limits to creating a Horcrux? He only realised Sirius was innocent when he saw Petter Pettigrew alive and kicking.
The whole Wizardly world believed Sirius had killed Peter, had betrayed the Potters and had killed a dozen Muggles. Lupin was no exception.
However, the Boggart failed to frighten him because it is not the moon itself he feared, but its effect on him. In mythology, the Boggart actually lives in marshes or fields and has a short, grotesque, hairy appearance. If you think about it, Snape and Lily have been friends since pre-Hogwarts and Snape was always in love with her. Begin typing your search term above and press enter to search. The first Horcrux — Tom Riddle's diary — made by Lord Voldemort came into existence when the villain was only a sixteen-year-old Hogwarts student.
Before he was defeated, Voldemort passed the diary on to a man whom he considered to be a faithful follower, Lucius Malfoy. The diary then found its way into the hands of Ginny Weasley, who, terrifyingly, nearly died because of the whole ordeal and Tom Riddle began to seep through its pages in an attempt to come back while the real Voldemort was off hiding. Harry managed to destroy it by impulsively stabbing it with a Basilisk fang, with Basilisk venom just so happening to be one of the very few substances that is corrosive to a Horcrux — a crucial bit of luck for Harry.
Marvolo Gaunt's ring was a Gaunt family heirloom. Merope was Tom Riddle's mother, and although the Gaunt family were ostracized, they were about as pure-blood as it got before their line died out. In fact, they descended from Salazar Slytherin himself. Since Merope had Voldemort with a Muggle, he was not pure-blood, but others in his family were, and no doubt he valued this enough to consider the ring worthy of being one of the seven Horcruxes.
Tom wore the ring while at Hogwarts, but it was not actually made to hold a piece of his soul until later. The ring was destroyed close to the end of the book series by Albus Dumbledore, who used Godric Gryffindor's sword. Thanks to Harry, the sword was impregnated with Basilisk venom, marking its destruction. As a child, Voldemort was very lonely. Born as a product of Amortentia, left to grow up in an orphanage, he had a bad start in life and this made him into who he was.
Much like Harry, Hogwarts was the first place he could really call home. With the castle being so important to him, Voldemort decided each of his Horcruxes should be something from each of the founders. Tom Riddle murdered a wealthy woman to get Salazar Slytherin's locket and forced her house-elf into a confession. It was hidden in the seaside cave, one of the most dangerous locations in Harry Potter , where he tortured fellow orphans as a child, turning them into the Inferi who infested the lake.
