Any Harry Potter fan will be able to tell you which Horcruxes Voldemort created but not many understand that there is a lot of lore tied to the Horcruxes that was not explored in the movies. In this article, we will tell you everything you need to know about Harry Potter Horcruxes, and we will start with what they really are.
Horcruxes are items wizards create that help them preserve a part of their soul in case their physical body gets destroyed. Even if your knowledge regarding Horcruxes is thorough you still may have some questions about the way they work or you may just be looking for some answers about the things that were not explored enough in the movies. Either way, if you want to know keep reading. A Horcrux is an object that enables its creator to preserve a part of their soul via the usage of extremely dark magic.
After it was created, the soul will live on inside the object, making the wizard immortal as long as the Horcrux exists. If the physical body gets destroyed the Horcrux can be used to regain a physical body. The soul inside the Horcrux will remain in the form the wizard was at the point of its creation. The part regarding immortality is what Horcruxes are known for, however, they can also be used as weapons.
Because the part of the soul inside the object exists on its own, it has the ability to affect the people surrounding it. The Horcruxes were recorded to affect the carriers immensely. This effect is mostly exhibited through the darker thoughts the carrier will experience.
This also affects the way they use magic. At one point it enabled the Trio to cast a Patronus. Given that the part of the soul still has some magical abilities it can also possess emotionally weaker people. This is what happened to Ginny Wesley during the events of the second movie. If this happens the life span of the person will be severely decreased.
To create a Horcrux you need to split your soul in order to have a part of the soul ready for storing into an object. The splitting of the soul can only be achieved through murder.
This act has to be intentional, as a non-deliberate murder will not separate the soul. The act of murder was deemed as the evilest act a wizard can commit. Once the act is committed, the soul will be severely damaged and at that point, the wizard needs to use a separating charm to remove the damaged part from the rest of the soul.
Not much is known about Horcruxes because wizards avoided any kind of Dar Arts. The first wizard who managed to create a Horcrux was Herpo the Foul. He was studying the soul and the ways in which murder affects it beyond the point of any other wizard thus far. The only other known wizard who successfully created a Horcruxes was Lord Voldemort. Once the Horcrux is created it will naturally inherent properties that will make them more durable.
The idea was to create six horcruxes, but one more was created accidentally. It was dangerous for the Trio Harry, Ron, and Hermione to stay in one place when they were hunting horcruxes so they had to keep moving to different place.
There were seven horcruxes in the Harry Potter series. Lord Voldemort's seven Horcruxes were:The Diary. Marvolo Gaunt's Ring. Salazar Slytherin's Locket. Helga Hufflepuff's Cup. Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem. Harry Potter unknown to Voldemort until after he had destroyed it. Nagini the Snake.
Professor Quirrell also served as a temporary Horcrux. Well, their are two reasons. They only destroyed one. Voldemort in the Harry Potter series made a total of 7 Horcruxes. Many important things happen, but one of the main points is that Harry and Dumbledore learn about Tom Riddle's Voldemort's past and come to the conclusion that he has split his soul into 7 pieces, which are concealed in different objects these are called horcruxes.
If you destroy all of the horcruxes, Voldemort will become mortal again, and will be able to die. Harry and Dumbledore set of to find and destroy a horcrux, and Dumbledore ultimately gets killed. As a side note, Harry and ginny's as well as Ron and hermione's relationship becomes more pronounced.
There is so much to explain, so honestly I would just read the book. Trust me, it is worth it! It becomes his first Horcrux. August Tom Riddle murders his father at home in Little Hangleton, sending a piece of his soul into a ring formerly owned by Marvolo Gaunt, the younger Riddle's grandfather and a descendent of Salazar Slytherin himself. The ring becomes his second Horcrux.
Unknown date, Hepzibah Smith, a witch who claims to be a direct descendant of Helga Hufflepuff, befriends Tom Riddle during a visit to the dark magic shop Borgin and Burkes.
She makes the mistake of revealing that because of her penchant for collecting valuable antiques, she has come into the possession of Hufflepuff's cup and Salazar Slytherin's locket. It becomes the third Horcrux. Riddle also steals the Slytherin locket. In reality, the matter was more complicated, as Dumbledore would reveal to Harry in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince that the diary was just one of seven Horcruxes. This Horcrux, of course, was destroyed by Harry with the basilisk fang during that final confrontation with Riddle.
It not only served as a Horcrux but also contained the resurrection stone. Albus Dumbledore found this ring and even attempted to use it as a means of bringing back his dead sister once he recognized the stone.
What resulted from this act, however, was a curse that nearly killed him. He ultimately destroyed the ring with the sword of Godric Gryffindor but not without suffering the consequences.
The curse weakened Dumbledore to a noticeable degree. While the ring was destroyed before the events of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , the resurrection stone survived, and Harry would later find it inside the golden snitch. Exactly What You Think. This locket was a source of many problems for the trio in the final moments of Half-Blood Prince and the first half of Deathly Hallows.
It is an heirloom of the Slytherin family, having been owned by Salazar Slytherin, himself, of whom Voldemort is a direct descendant. Toward the end of Half-Blood Prince , Dumbledore and Harry go after the locket, only for Harry to discover the locket they found is a fake.
Then, in Deathly Hallows , Harry, Ron and Hermione eventually go on a search to find the real locket. They soon learn that the locket was in the possession of Dolores Umbridge, and after sneaking into the Ministry of Magic, they manage to procure it and escape.
