harry potter help.?

Question

Okay whoever can help me out with book number six. I dont understand the horocrux. if you tell me about it and its in a language I can understand thats great!

can anyone tell me all the known horocruxes?

Answer 1

THE HORCRUX IS A VERY POWERFUL DARK MAGIC OBJECT.

Lord Voldemort was powerful enough to create 7 horcruxes. In order to create a horcrux you have to rip a piece of your soul from your body and place it within an object. To do this you have to commmit the ultimate act of evil, which is murder. (Voldy is pretty good at it!!) Doing this once is not recommended and doing it 7 times is unheard of and insane not to mention extremely complex and EVIL!!! As long as a piece of your soul is somewhere else you can't die. Hence Voldemort didn't die when his killing curse rebounded on him. So in essence Harry has to track these buggers down, destroy them, and then he can fight Voldemort and kill him.

Answer 2

Ok the story goes like this, in the magic world people can secure his life after death by dividing their soul, the soul can only be divided by killing someone else because murder is consider like the worst and evil thing ever and doing some magic things xD then in the magic world seven is a extremely lucky and powerful number thats why Voldemort decided to divide his soul in seven pieces, the pieces of the soul are like kept safe in items that mean something valuable to him, for example in the Chamber of Secrets was introduced the first horcrux, Tom Riddle's Diary, the other known horcrux is the one of Marvolos(Voldemorts muggle family) ring. Basically horcruxes are the reasons why Voldemort keep gettin back from death again and again, if the horcruxes are all destroyed then Voldemort could finally be entirely death (supposedly) thats why Dumbledore was so desperate to find the horcruxes and destroyed them... Well hope this helps you a little! Keep reading that book is awesome!!

Answer 3

this was very confusing to me too, but i think i've got it worked out...okay, so, a horcrux is created, "By committing murder. Killing rips the soul apart." (HBP, 498) There are six horcruxes. "The seventh part of his soul, however maimed, resides inside his regenerated body." (HBP 503)

1. Diary - destroyed
2. Ring - destroyed

Assumed horcruxes

3. Slytherin's locket
4. Hufflepuff's cup
5. Something of Ravenclaw's
6. Nagini

I thought he might have had something of Gryffindor's but Dumbledore says on page 505, "I am confident, however, that the only known relic of Gryffindor remains safe." Dumbledore is usually right, so i have to assume that voldy found a Ravenclaw relic. There are theories that Harry is a horcrux, but this cannot be. Harry is not related to Gryffindor, and therefore the "something" of Gryffindor theory does not work there.

And, Dumbledore assumes that Voldemort "was still at least one Horcrux short of his goal of six when he entered [Harry's] parents' house with the intention of killing [Harry]. He seems to have reserved the process of making Horcruxes for particularly significant deaths. [Harry] would certainly have been that. He believed that in killing [Harry], he was destroying the danger the prophecy had outlined. He believed he was making himself invincible. I am sure that he was intending to make his final Horcrux with [Harry's] death. As we know, he failed. After an interval of some years, however, he used Nagini to kill an old Muggle man, and it might then have occurred to him to turn her into his last Horcrux. She underlines the Slytherin connection, which enhances Lord Voldemort's mystique..." (HBP 506)

Finally, the last thing i know about Horcruxes...we know where the locket is...it's at Number 12 Grimmauld Place! Page 116 of the OoTP last (very long sentence) they are cleaning out one of the rooms, and there is, among many other things, "a heavy locket that none of them could open..." now here is where the mysterious "RAB" comes in. Sirius' brother's name was Regulus Black. And we know that in the wizarding world that boys middle names are usually a namesake of their uncles. Ron has an uncle Billius (sp?) and that is his middle name. Sirius had an uncle Alphard and this could've been Regulus' middle name.

So we're going to have to wait and see where the cup and Ravenclaw's (?) is because the whereabouts of the locket, Nagini and Voldemort are already known.

It all seems to fit, but i guess we'll just have to wait and see, right?!

Answer 4

It's basically like having an anchor in the living world that keeps someone from dying.

Voldemort's body was destroyed by the killing curse, but his spirit didn't move on or become a ghost, because his horcruxes anchored him in real life. Once Voldemort got a new body, his spirit could possess it completely.

Voldemort can't be killed until all his horcruxes are destroyed.

Answer 5

Basically it's this: Voldemort broke his soul up into a bunch of pieces. He put those pieces of his soul into a bunch of different items (the ring that Dumbledore wore, for instance). He will continue to live in some form or another until each horcrux is destroyed. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

Slytherin's Ring (destroyed)
Slytherin's Locket (possibly destroyed by RAB)
Tom Riddle's Diary - opened the chamber of secrets (Destroyed by Harry)
Possibly Hufflepuff's Goblet
And possibly something from Ravenclaw
Nagini, the snake

Answer 7

Voldemort split his soul into 7 parts by killing and then concealed the parts into different objects through VERY dark magic. one part he left in his body. The known ones were in the locket, the diary, and the ring.

Answer 8

A horcrux is a place for a witch or wizard to store a piece of their soul, thus earning them a measure of immotality while that piece continues to exsist. In order to be able to make a horcrux, one must tear their soul, and to do this they must commit murder.
