 Horcrux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Horcrux is a magical object created through the use of the Dark Arts by evil witches or wizards who wish to avoid death.
With six soul fragments hidden in the Horcruxes and the remainder of his soul within his body, anyone wishing to kill Voldemort must first locate and destroy all of his Horcruxes.
The great snake Nagini: Dumbledore believed the final Horcrux was to be made from Harry Potter's murder, considering his importance as the "Chosen One" foretold by Sibyll Trelawney's prophecy.

 HPL: Horcruxes
The purpose of a Horcrux is to protect the given bit of soul from anything that might happen to the body of the person to whom the soul belongs.
The term "Horcrux" is used to refer to any object in which a person has concealed a part of his or her soul.
To create a Horcrux, by definition the spell-caster must have split his or her soul into fragments, so that one fragment can be implanted within the Horcrux while the other is retained in the spell-caster's own body.

 KMC Forums - Is harry and horcrux.
as for the scar, my theory is that, since harry may be the only horcrux that is actually alive, it serves as a sort of connection between voldemort and the part of his soul that's in harry.

The horcruxes hold the soul chunk for as long as they are able, and after that the soul disintigrates, leaving one less defence of the main...
I don't think Nagini is a horcrux because at the time when the Muggle Frank was killed, Voldemort was still very weak, and I doubt he would have had the strength to tear his soul in half yet again.
still it seems to me that nagini must be a horcrux, because how else could harry have seen through the snakes eyes if it were not part of voldemorts soul alive in the snake?

Horcruxes ensure that you cannot be totally destroyed by encasing part of your soul in them.

Third, the Horcruxes seem to be protected by dark magic.

 The Book Spoiler for the book - HARRY POTTER and the Half Blood Prince
Voldemort, to be immortal, killed and divided his soul 6 times, so he has seven pieces of his soul around.
In the real memory we learn that Horcruxes are divisions of the soul that can be created when a person murders someone.
Dumbledore and Harry explore Voldemort's past, learning about Horcruxes, which are divisions of Voldemort's soul, making him immortal until they are all destroyed.

 Did Quirrell get Voldemort's "Soul" from a Horcrux? - Page 2 - Chamber of Secrets
The fact that the horcruxes are Voldie's soul make it so that the Horcruxes ARE Voldie, and it makes sense that they would be animated in some way.
3) the only role the horcruxes play in this, is that in voldie's "death" by the reflected avada, and in quirrel's death when voldie was possessing him, the horcruxes were what kept that real-soul, the original soul that is really voldy earthbound.

 SPOILER!!! - Horcrux
While a piece of a wizard's soul exists in the Horcrux, he or she cannot be killed.
Voldemort is believed to have created six Horcruxes, thus rending his soul into seven pieces (the last piece stayed with his body).
In order to do so, the soul must be torn into two pieces: one for the Horcrux, and one that remains in the physical body.

 Mostly Muppet Dot Com » Harry Potter: Horcrux
If HP is a horcrux LV wud know abt it and it wud be mighty stupid on his part to destroy a part of his own soul by killing HP.
If he’d made 7 horcruxes, then there would actually have been 8 pieces to his soul (7 stored, and 1 residing in his body), and that would’ve ruined the whole point of the multiple horcruxes.
Maybe Harry is a Horcrux, but Voldemort did it accidentaly, so wasn’t aware of it, and maybe Harry is strong enough not to have to die and can keep the bit of Voldemort soul inside him contained (a bit like Frodo and the ring).

 Discussion: Horcrux Question
Yes you are right thank you, except since he knows the diary is destroyed, I don't really think he would care how damaged his soul is as long as he has his 7 parts of his soul and is practically immortal.
I think that if Voldemort is as afraid of dying as he seems to be, and as wanting for power, he would have all of them by the time he attacked the Potters, if just to reassure himself that the baby would not end his life.
Now we have another horcrux to consider I think because maybe he only made Nagini a horcrux AFTER he had the other 6 made and the diary got destroyed.

 Nightly.Net: I know what the last horcrux is POTENTIAL SPOILER
To create a horcrux, one must commit "the supreme act of evil"—murder, which "rips the soul apart." They must then perform a special spell (unknown) which will harness their soul, allowing them to place it into an object at will.
when he made the first horcrux he would have taken 1/7 of his soul and put in it.
When creating a horcrux, you take a broken piece of your soul and place it in a object to return to when you die.

And, if he also returned to that sea cave in which he had terrorized two of his fellow orphans, he may well have realized upon his return as an adult, as Albus did, that this was a place that had “known magic”.
Or it all may be just a very silly scene which makes no real kind of sense, that Rowling threw in because she thought it was funny.
Regulus Black’s flashpoint may have had nothing whatsoever to do with the Horcrux.

 sab39 ... Book 7 prediction!
the last horcrux is harrys scar and narsisca is lily and petunias sister and snape killed dumbledore as he was a horcrux and he torments harry as he loved lily and also that harry will survive but neville i am afraid has to die and the last horcrux is snapes
The scar he bears is not a lightning bolt but rather a tear representing the first division of the soul.
Second is that to kill a character that an author has made us love for 7 books and many years no matter how much dramatic punch it might give, I dont think Rowling would want to anger her readers to such a degree.

 Dan. » The double-double-double cross
Hey I think that Harry is a horcrux because in the HBP Dumbledore goes into detail that organic things could become horcuxes, and that makes me think that JKR just put that ther to give us a clue for the final book, that Harry is a Horcrux.
I base this on the fact that we don’t know if that crack on the ring was made be the release of voldemorts soul or if that was a symbol showing the containment.
This obviously does not mean the olocket is not a real Horcrux strill, only that Snape/Dumbledore have destroyed another Horcrux between them… the potion made from RAB& betrayal.

Plus, we never found out what kind of spell and magic it takes to cast a Horcrux, does it weaken the caster - hell, you are ripping your soul into tiny chunks - it has gotta hurt.
Also (I just thought of this, and I dunno if this makes sense), he could wait until later to tell Harry about the Horcrux, or he could not have told him about it at all.
I seriously thought that harry's potions book was Voldemort's horcruxe.

In fact, I suspect that misspelling is another way to rip your soul, sufficiently to form a Horcrux.
The reason for this is that Voldemort intended to and still intends to kill Harry, so why on earth would he have wanted to destroy one of his most valuable horcruxes?

If a snake could be a Horcrux, surely it's not too farfetched to have a person be one.
*The Slytherin horcrux taken by Regulus from the cave (probably the only person viable with the initials R.A.B) *Hs own soul that's still in his body...not a horcrux, but it's a bit of his soul...
And Razola, Voldemort probably won't know about his Horcrux's being destroyed, I think Dumbledore said something about his soul being so immersed in evil it would not detect if any portions of itself were destroyed.

We can also say that Harry, shocked from the body exiting the water, was somehow able to release the Horcrux from his charm.
Why would this single body react to the summoning charm, unless this same body was wearing the same Horcrux that Harry was tring to summon?
We later learn that 'that something' was a dead, or undead, person reacting to Harry's Summoning Charm.

It would be a real breach of faith with the tenor of the story and Dumbledore's character for him not to be dead.
And second, can a thing be a Horcrux and not show signs of Voldemort's personality (the hat is clearly willing to warn and work against him, although it did briefly try to convince Harry to join Slytherin).
OK, we've been told that Voldemort's soul is in 7 pieces, six Horcruxes and Voldemort himself.

Note on this theory: the snake in Sorcerer's Stone is a Boa Constrictor in the book and a Burmese Python in the movie, both of which are non-poisonous, while Nagini is definitely poisonous.
But Nagini might be poisonous BECAUSE it's a Horcrux and now evil and Voldemort...ahem...sorry.
Remember, he had wanted to leave the Death Eaters, and he was killed for it...and also remember a heavy locket was found in the Black house that couldn't be opened.
