@@anasibrahim2755 Honestly, I just think that he figured no one would find out about them. And if they did, whatever defenses he had were bound to be enough.
Hey Harry Potter Theory just wondering , but aren’t you the Star Wars Theory Guy just wanted to know , because I thought you were American , Anyways love both of your contests , hope you and your family are doing well in this crazy times peace ✌🏼
I have a theory on that. Or actually two. 1) He kept them close by in case he ever needed to protect any of them. 2) The magic of the Hocruxes have to be within a certain distance of the owner in order for them to be effective. I'm only guessing this one because some charms and spells only span over limited distances.
@@TheHumblePotato but Goldy spent time in Albania as a spirit after his demise.... And yet the horcruxes were still in the UK and working as intended 😉
Voldemort did not know that his horcruxes were being destroyed until the battle of Hogwarts and Nagini was the only one left. The movies, had Voldemort retain a connection to them; but the books explained that there was no such connection.
@@alexc5369 The first film was alright, the second okay, the third meh, the fourth kinda sucked, the fifth was actually better than the book (cut a lot of BS out), the sixth was garbage, and seven 1&2 weren't much. All in all the films told a different story than the books did; although they were similar.
@@tasatort9778 youre rating the films in terms of adaptation to the books. If we were going off exemplary filmmaking, POA is an absolute masterpiece and brought the world to life. Your favorite, OOTP, was so badly directed (except the climax and ending) that every actor comes off as stiff, and the scenes were very safe. Can't consider it a great film, but a fun way to spend 2 hrs of background noise.
@@late8138 how you dont know why? xD Seven is one of the magical numbers in many old tales. It is also said to be powerful number in wizarding world and voldemort liked the idea, of being part of the mythos and tales one day. He wanted to be the ultimate wizard so number 7 really inspired him. Besides, we dont know how much more he could divide his soul. It was really hard to do and he was first to divide his soul into 7 parts. Before that, the best wizards could do was 2.
@Harry Potter Legends Well...yes and no... in the end he was just a human body laying on the ground of the hogwarts... where he died... it didnt disapeared as monster like in the film...
@ZEDDREX NAVARRA but Voldemort only intended to have a 7-part soul: 6 horcruxes and the remaining piece in his body. So, as Dumbledore explains in chapter 23 of Half Blood Prince, making 6 horcruxes should be his limit. However Voldemort goes beyond this by accidentally creating Harry as his 7th Horcrux, thereby making him have an 8-part soul. So 7 is not the limit.
@@robbevanooteghem7429 not only voldemort JK Rowling also loves the number the rule of 7 runs through out the series like 7 books 7 hocruxes 7 deadly sins 7 players in a quidditch team The battle of 7 potters A basilisk lays 7 eggs at a time And there are plenty more through the series!
To clear up the comment section: Voldemort killed the six people to get the Horcruxes he mentions in the video (The diary, The ring, The cup, The diadem, The locket, and the snake) Because your own soul is the seventh part, he stops there having his soul split in 7 pieces which he thought was a good number. He accidentally created another Horcruxes in Harry splitting his soul into 8 pieces with 7 Horcruxes. He didn’t create more because he was only aware about the destroying of the Horcruxes for a short amount of time and didn’t think anyone would find them all.
i think he wanted to create 7 horcruxes. he has a horcrux in an item from every hogwarts founder except Gryffindor. the diadem of rowena, goblet of helga and locket of salazar. i think he tried to make a 7th horcrux of godric's sword when he went after the potter family but thnx to lily he accidently maked harry the 7th horcrux. he thought he failed but was too weak to create another one after that encounter. it isn't logical if he just stopped making horcruxes before he completed his hogwarts founder collection, just like its not logical to accidently split your soul. if its as easy as you killed someone you now have a horcrux, then a lot of wizards would have them by now. nah, voldy already started the ritual of putting it in godric's sword and then lily messed up the ritual causing the soul to latch unto harry instead
@@palmagius He wanted 7 soul pieces - 6 horcruxes, 1 in his body. Lily and James never had the sword. The reason his soul split by accident, was because the horcrux spell was designed to be used one time, while he made 5 horcruxes by that point. Death from Avada caused his destabilized soul to split again and latch onto Harry. Basically doing it accidentally requires you to have done it on purpose several times beforehand... Which no one did, until Voldie. Also, Harry was the 6th horcrux. Nagini was made after the events of Philosopher's Stone, offscreen. Mainly because Voldie thought he was making her into the 6th, while unaware that he was actually making the 7th. It carries interesting implications though - Voldie turned himself into a more flawed immortal, than if he just made one or two horcruxes, as his soul can demonstrably be split with Avada right now, and there's supposed to be a limit to how much mangling a single soul can take... So basically if you barrage him with Killing Curses everytime he gets back into a body, eventually you'll destroy his soul - which is something people with just one horcrux can survive, since their souls are relatively intact by comparison.
Also I think fear would play into it, because while objectively if you could make more you maybe would try to just keep making them, if you were truly afraid of dying then you wouldn’t want to be unsure of the number of lives you have left and you wouldn’t hide them too far away because if you were careless they could all get destroyed despite making new ones and you still wouldn’t know… Voldemort was truly afraid of dying, so he wouldn’t create something so important only to lose track of them and be unsure of how many he had actually made.
@@SkittlesInYourHand It's because, AFAIK, you'd only find the Diadem there if you went there looking for it, otherwise the room would take shape as what you need.
To be fair, if you thought you had 6 back-ups of all your data in different forms and protected places that you had never told anyone about and no-one had ever managed to do it before (to that level), you would be confident.
So, Voldemort was correct. 7 pieced soul literally made him unbeatable. But then, some mother's love for her child ripped his soul again and the container of that 8th piece ultimately killed him.
Unkillable, not unbeatable. If like 10 people ganged up on him, he would be toast. He is still a Human after all, not like he is some OP Magical Beast.
Also to extend on the magical relevance of the number seven - 1) 7 duplicates of harry were created when they tried to transport harry 2) It took Harry 7 years to finally destroy Voldemort 3) Harry's quidditch jersey number was 7 4) Voldemort split his soul into 7 Horcruxes (as everyone already knows)

There have been theories that Voldemort wanted to create a seventh Horcrux using the sword of Gryffindor, and that he was thinking that the sword would appear the night he killed the Potters. Also I would say that Voldemort was extremely arrogant, and foolish to let Slughorn live, when he was the only one who knew he's secret, I mean had Voldemort killed Slughorn, then the Horcruxes might not have been discovered.
@@Player_6 Not my question, when and where did Voldemort visit Slughorn after he came back? Yes the death-eaters wanted to recruit him and what would they have done if he refused? That's why he was hiding.
No, the theory is that Voldemort was trying to create sixth (not seventh) horcrux with Harry's death using the sword of Gryffindor. This seems quite likely because he has already used objects relating to the other houses as horcruxes (and sword of Gryffindor could appear and disappear), he liked to create horcruxes with significant deaths, and at that point had "only" five horcruxes. Voldemort never knew Harry became a horcrux, and made Nagini a horcrux with the death of Berta Jorkins in 1994, when Voldemort was hiding in Albania. Voldemort thought Nagini was his sixth horcrux, but she was the seventh.
7 is the magical number of completion.. and Tom being obsessed with being “pure” and all powerful, he believed 7 horcuxes to be a perfect number. Although Harry was an accidental horcrux. It’s strange. Live by the horcrux, die by the horcrux 😂
How much of a soul does one need? Assuming that a Horcrux splits the soul exactly in half, by the time Voldemort made his final Horcrux, he would only have 1/128th of his soul left in his resurrected body. I think Voldemort knew that, had he made another Horcrux, there would be so little soul left that he’d abandon his ambitions of being the Dark Lord and enter politics.
@@Matty_Matty_Matty_Matty I made the assumption that the soul is split exactly in half. Your assumption is that the entire soul splits evenly, regardless of how many horcruxes there are. It’s an interesting idea but implies that the soul, though mangled, is still connected despite physical separation. Voldemort’s first Horcrux (the diary of I recall), would have 1/2 of his soul. But his body would only have half of his soul to work with for future Horcruxes. So his next Horcrux would contain half of his half-soul, or 1/4. And the next would house half of that quarter, or 1/8. So that’s three Horcruxes, and Voldemort already has only 1/8 of his original soul in his body. The next three would leave him with 1/16, 1/32, and 1/64th of his original soul, respectively. Which is interesting because it could mean that the only reason Harry could withstand Voldemort’s soul fragment is because it is substantially smaller than a normal Horcrux would be. After Nagini, with only 1/128th of his original soul, I think Voldemort couldn’t risk creating another Horcrux without potentially losing his soul. What was left of it. I think it might be interesting that, if magic is connected to the soul, that Voldemort actually made himself WEAKER with each successive Horcrux.
@@Matty_Matty_Matty_Matty Yeah, it says he splits it into 7, but nowhere does it say they're equal. For that to work out, the magic would have had to know on the first time how many times he was going to use it. Or, failing that, if it automatically takes a seventh, then Harry being made one should have made him completely soulless.
I challenge this idea. There is no...absolutely NO...indication in the books that each time a horcrux is created, the soul, or whatever fraction remains, is split exactly in half. I've split wood many times, and each cut is never exactly half. With a large part of the trunk, one splits it into several smaller pieces, none of which are half. To my thinking, when the soul is split, a fragment is concealed in an object for safe keeping. Never does it say that fragment is literally half. Of course, it all leads back to V's soul being so maimed and fragmented, he had little left, once the horcruces were destroyed. But when one is dealing with a human soul, literal mathematics seem moot to me.
I think what needs to be mentioned at this point is that when your soul is spilt it is always cut in a half, imagine a piece of pie. Meaning that the diary(1st horcrux to be created) contained 1/2 of voldemords soul and the last horcrux (accidently the 7th), namly nagini contained only 1/256th of his soul. Just imagine cuting this piece of a pie into half and giving it to someone😂
I don’t think it specified you always give up half of your currently remaining soul did it? It just tears off a piece; there’s really no telling how MUCH of each his soul each bit has
@@dakotayupyupyup8377 No because if you only make one you possess half of your soul. It's extraordinary logical to continue making smaller and smaller more insignificant horcrux the more you make.
alaskanhybrid what you’re saying is completely untrue though; no where in a single script of Harry Potter or Rowling’s writings does it state you give up half your soul when you make a horcrux, they always use worlds like tear, split, and “a fragment”. It would even be very safe to assume Harry had more than 1/256th a Voldemort fragment within him considering their intense mental connections and circumstances like Fawke’s wands choosing both Tom and Harry.
Doctor Whomst'd've yeah I mean, if someone intended to only make one horcrux in their life and intended to use half their soul, the maybe, but Tom literally intended to only release 6 other bits of his soul
When you think that murder split the soul even if you don't make a horcurx. He killed possible over 100 People. A so ripped soul plus a 8 part soul makes me wonder how he even can exist
His soul also became less stable the further it was split, as it's implied that the 7th horcrux, Harry, was created accidentally, which blows the whole "process of making a horcrux" out of the water. He probably could have made more than 7, but he was having difficulty keeping it at 6.
This is accurate, yes. It’s not specifically stated though if Voldemort used Naginis venom to create a body BEFORE she became a horcrux or after though; but it could be either case since he could have been using any other loyal host at the time he made the Nagini horcrux; I think it’s a rather interesting fact that he made nagini a horcrux considering she was both snake and ‘human’; but also used her venom for this very reason since, magically speaking, she was connected to both makes and humans. This venom, along with unicorn blood(sustaining life upon the brink of death), along with a unique spell or two allowed worm tail to create Voldemort a baby-like body that was hairless and scaly; rather snakelike indeed. This could be the biggest reason why he looked snakelike after his resurrection; because the baby-body he had used was indeed part snake.
alaskanhybrid not trying to be mean, just helpful but; Nagini was made into a horcrux after Voldemort tortured and killed Bertha Jorkins, using this murder as the catalyst for the horcrux creation. At the beginning of Goblet of Fire, we can assume Voldemort had already recruited Nagini, used her venom to create his baby body, and turned her into a horcrux, quite possibly in that order though it’s unclear.
Here’s an interesting thought if one splits his soul in half by creating a Horcrux then after creating 1 you’d be at 50% soul, then 25% then 12.5% then 6.25% then 3.125% then 1.562% then finally at 7 Voldemort would have 0.781% of his soul.
If I remember reading right, this isn't quite how it worked, and creating a horcrux splits a small part off of the soul, and in Voldemorts case, his horcruxes should be roughly the same in terms of soul. I got sucked into the potter wiki a few weeks ago and remember seeing that there.
@@Sidiciousify it would be 1/7th if he split into equal parts from the beginning and made them all together. If he splits his soul in half every single time he makes one then the math is spot on. Depends on in what way he splits his soul
@@Sidiciousify same concept of of there is a 1/6 chance of rolling a dice to hit a specific number. But as I roll over and over again that doesn't mean every 6 rolls I will get exactly 1 of each number. It means every successive roll would be 1/6 odds of hitting that number dragging the overall odds down as more rolls are thrown
This was covered in Slughorns memories. 7 is the most powerful number according to Voldemort, so he chose to make 7 horcruxes believing that would be enough. Harry becomes the 8th horcrux that Voldemort never intended to make.
He wanted 6 horcruxes, and Harry was the 7th. 6 horcruxes means a 7-part soul (one part in his body), but with 7 horcruxes, his soul was split in 8 parts which weakened him.
@@witchilich No 8th horcrux, sure, but by the time he created a horcrux in Nagini, his soul was split into 8 parts. 1 Part in himself, and the other 7 in the 7 horcruxes. But, he only wanted 6 to have a 7-part soul.
You should make a video either on how wands are made or on what qualities chose your wand. (Like bravery would mean you’d have one kind of wood or core, kindness would be another, etc.)
Voldemort created 7 horcruxes in total, Harry being an unintentional horcrux. A piece of his soul latched on to Harry after his body was destroyed due to his killing curse rebounding once Lily stepped in his way when trying to murder an infant Harry. His first horcrux was Tom Riddles diary, being more of a weapon, used to once again open the Chamber of Secrets once the diary enters Hogwarts. He murdered Moaning Myrtle in order to create this one. His second was the Gaunt Family ring and he used his father and grandfather to create this one. His third horcrux was Helga Hufflepuffs Cup and he murdered Hepzibah Smith in order to create this one. His fourth horcrux was Salazar Slytherins Locket, and he killed a random muggle in order to create this one. His fifth horcrux was Ravenclaws diadem and he killed an Albanian Traveler in order to create this one. His sixth horcrux was Harry himself, as I've previously stated. He killed Lily Potter in order for his sixth horcrux to be created, without his knowledge. His 7th horcrux was actually Nagini and was the last horcrux that he created. He had killed Bertha Jorkins in order to create this one and created this horcrux when he was still in his frail and infant like body we seen in the movie "Goblet of Fire." But Voldemort wanted to create 7 horcruxes in all, with 7 being the most powerful magically number. As the number 7 has popped up in the Harry Potter franchise in every movie, multiple times. We dont know what would have been his final horcrux, as to his own knowledge he still only had 6 horcruxes. He didnt know Harry was a horcrux, so to Voldemort, he only had 6, not 7. So it's safe to assume that he still wanted to create one last horcrux.
@@ssjmonstar no, it's highly unlikely. As in, like a 0.1% chance of happening. There was special circumstances that have happened when Voldemort tried to kill Harry as an infant, causing his soul to split without his knowledge. Voldemort hesitated to kill Lily at first, due to Snapes begging of him to spare Lily and he gave her a chance to join him and his Death Eaters. Which she declined and he told her to step aside, which she refused to. So he then decided to attack Harry and end it there but due to Voldemort sparing Lily, when she defied him once more and stepped in to protect her son, that is what caused the protection. All of the circumstances that happened when Voldemorts body was first destroyed was 1 in a million. With Snape begging Voldemort to spare Lily, and he actually was going to, but Lily jumping in to save her son. It was basically a freak incident, as Voldemort would've killed any other man, woman or child without a seconds thought. It's almost as if... these circumstances were put together for a movie, or a book or something. Hmmmmm 🤔🤔
@@ssjmonstar I actually would love for him to return. Imagine a Harry Potter franchise revolving around our time period! It would be amazing to see the wizarding world in 2020 lol
Voldemort didn't know the Horcruxes were being destroyed until very late in the game, and, as you say, I doubt there would have been any time to create more. Besides, he was already too weakened by dividing his soul more times than he even realized.
So Voldemort’s horcruxes have different amounts of his soul in them I guess. 1st: 1/2 soul 2nd: 1/4 soul 3rd: 1/8 soul 4th: 1/16 soul 5th: 1/32 soul 6th: 1/64 soul 7th: 1/128 soul Voldemort had 1/128 of his soul left after creating Nagini it looks like.
Exactly. And this means that the earlier horcruxes would have had more raw power, as the portion of his soul was larger in them, but the later ones would have been more sophisticated, as Voldemort would have been more experienced at the time he made them.
I challenge this idea. There is no...absolutely NO...indication in the books that each time a horcrux is created, the soul, or whatever fraction remains, is split exactly in half. I've split wood many times, and each cut is never exactly half. With a large part of the trunk, one splits it into several smaller pieces, none of which are half.

But when one is dealing with a human soul, literal mathematics seem moot to me.
He thought it were 6 plus the part of his soul, that lives in Voldemort himself. He asked Slughorn to split his soul 7 times, not to create 7 Horcruxes.
Harry Potter Legends well if that would have killed him, how could he make Nagini a Horcrux? He didn’t even had a real body at this time and was weak. But he still managed to kill Frank Brice and make a horcrux🤔 Edit: with kill I mean „body destroyed“
The Horcrux books were stored in Dumbledores office. Hermione summons them with "accio" after Dumbledores funeral. And these books describe elaborately how Horcruxes are made and everything you would want to know about them.
I think his obsession with the number 7 was one factor (though he never realized he created a addition horcrux in Harry). I also think it also comes down to what Dumbledore said when he mentioned Voldemort has tested the limit of magic in so many ways. It’s fair to ponder if it was even possible for Voldemort to continue to rip his soul more without making him more vulnerable.
I mean Horace thought 1 Horcrux is already a big deal, it is already seen as problematic to split your soul once. But split it some more? It's like trying to kill yourself for more than once, how can you even do it the second time when you're already dead? Well, Voldy can lol. Also making one is probably too painful, he's just too high up in his head to at least reach 7.
I love when everyone suggests him picking a regular stone and throw in the ocean. That’s kinda what he did with the diadem and the ROR. First, for someone to suggest a stone is just as barbaric as someone suggesting an artifact that is been lost for centuries. Secondly, pinning it down to the ROR would suggest Voldy got back into hogwarts (which I think only dumbledore knew 100% bc he wanted the DADA position). And third, even if you know it’s the diadem in the ROR, it would take forever (unless u can sense them like Harry). So to Voldemort this one horcrux was his like 100% no one is going to find it. And Harry wouldn’t of even found it if Voldy didn’t have his little panic attack after Gringotts.
Nah, even if you cant find the diadem you can still destroy the whole place out of desperation. If you throw a random rock in the deeps of the ocean how are you gonna destroy the ocean? Wvwn if you knew where it was thrown going a mile deep makes it all harder because there is no light that deep and also you need to cast a spell that can withstand that pressure for weeks or months just to find the rock.
The reason he had seven Horcruxes is as seven had a ‘meaning’ to him as seven is a ‘lucky’ number, and he most likely thought that the ‘luck’ in it would keep them for being destroyed. But thats just a theory *A FILM THEORY*
Honestly I don't think it would of been possible, don't forget Harry was an accidental horcrux. His soul had been split so much that it became unstable, which was is implied to be the reason his soul latched onto baby Harry
@@TioMegamanX Like i said. Nagini was his last. And bertha jorkins didnt disapear untill book four (Though, that was the first time she was even mentioned)
@@zerszo This is just a lose theory. I bet if he targeted Neville, he would have had a horcrux relating to Gryphondor. Voldemort's two prominent ancestors were Cadmus peverell and Salazar Slytherin. Harry has a connection to Voldemort on the Peverell side, shouldn't Neville have a connection on the founders side? It's more poetic speculation than anything
It's about math. Splitting the soul 7(8) times leaves the Wizard with less than 1% of soul left. Here's the math: 100%(full soul) is split = 50% of soul left (1st Horcrux) 50% is split = 25% left (2nd Horcrux) 25% is split = 12.5% left (3rd Horcrux) 12.5% is split = 6.25% left (4th Horcrux) 6.25% is split = 3.125% left (5th Horcrux) 3.125% is split = 1.56% left (6th Horcrux) 1.56% is split = 0.78% left (7th Horcrux) Vold now has less than 1% of his soul left. This is why he made no more Horcruxes. And with the 8th Horcrux (Harry)... 0.78% split = 0.39%. Also explains why Vold doesnt have more control over Harry; Harry only had 0.39% of Volds soul inside him 🤘👍 Yay math. Good vid!
Well in the books it said splitting the soul even one time was dangerous it doing it 7 would make you unstable and he didn’t think that one of them would be found and destroyed let alone all of them.
And during the video I can't stop coming up with a bunch of questions. Voldemort, has always wanted to kill Harry. But I can't believe that it is to destroy the horcrux within Harry, without being for the purpose of creating the one 7th he intended. Because, as well as I remember, Dumbledore tells Harry that Harry was the Horcrux Vlodemort never intended to make....
Seven is an extremely symbolic number. Voldemort had only intended to split his soul six times for a total of seven pieces. The books flat out state that one Horcrux is horrific enough in what it does to your soul, and we all know what six does to someone's appearance. Voldemort's soul was severely damaged and warped by the time he went to kill the Potters. Inadvertantly creating the seventh Horcrux within Harry then made seven pieces of soul into eight, ruining the symbolism, which is extremely significant. Hence things like the connection between the two.
I believe Harry asks more or less the same question in the 6th book. Dumbledore then tells him that Voldemort would only take the most meaningful objects as hosts for a part of his soul.
Or instead of Nagini he chooses a Phoenix. Since a phoenix can’t be destroyed (cause it always rises back from its ashes). He’d be immortal and unstoppable.
Good video! I always adored the idea of Tom Riddle brutally sacrificing pieces of his own in the process of taking other people's lifes. I also like to think that his body transfigured after any committed murder, so the once human face slowly began to change to a snake like demon. If he made more horcruxes he could have gone broke and looking like a possessed toddler again. I always fancied the design of other dark wizards, for they are mostly fearsome easy to recognize, but they still look like real people. Voldi however is the only portrayed human wizard that could have easily been just "another breed that created a magic wand". Just imagine him working. "Okay, number 5, I am getting good at this - oh feck, my nose fell off."
Dumbledore was only a teacher of Transfiguration back when Tom Riddle was in the Orphanage. In the books its explained that a Hogwarts teacher will visit witches and wizards that are either Muggle Born or who live with Muggles and explain to either their carers or the witch/wizard themselves what Hogwarts is and that they're a wizard. They'll then personally give the witch/wizard their Hogwarts letter. Harry wasn't visited by a Hogwarts teacher until the Dursley's moved to the island in the middle of the sea because they were under the assumption that Harry already knew about being a wizard. Obviously Hagrid was then sent after the letters went unread by Harry to explain the situation because of the Dursley's moving around the country and the amount of letters being sent to Harry by the charmed quill that wrote Hogwarts Letters.
Number 7 at first. But after Nagini the reason is: Time. He had no time nor a valuable object to do so. He was fighting to save the ones he already had. Then nagini was alive after Harry's fake death, and with Dumbledore death too he had no rush to create more.
Honestly, I think that if Voldemort created more Horcruxes, it would have left him on the brink of death. Dividing himself into seven pieces is bad enough, but creating an eighth could make things worse. Besides, it might be that it would take too long to create a new Horcrux, as by the time he would, he would have already turned into Creepy Flakes. It would just destroyed by Harry and company.
I believe that too, seven wasn't a random number, one is already quite important, more than seven would at least reduce your magical abilities, but Voldemort created 7 horcruxes by mistake because of the one in harry, so that's 8 pieces of his soul, I believe it played against him on many aspects, and it could be the reason why everything finally gone wrong for him
Why didn't Voldemort work on creating a philosopher's stone instead of ripping his soul into multiple peaces? If he was that scared of dying, he should have chummed it up with Flamel.
Creating a horcrux takes a set amount of the soul, presumably 1/7th. By the time he went to kill Harry, he only had 1/7th of his soul left in his body which then latched itself onto Harry. When he went to regenerate himself with the rebirth ritual, he took Harry’s blood which put a bit of his own soul (let’s say 1/14th for simplicity), as well as a bit of Harry’s soul into him (also saying 1/14th bc that would give Voldy 1/7th of a soul but in two parts). At this point, his soul was in 8 uneven pieces with one seventh having been destroyed. Even if he had considered creating what to his knowledge would have been a 7th horcrux he wouldn’t have had any soul left to give, even if it wasn’t already in 8 pieces. Also, since a bit of Harry’s soul was inside Voldemort from the rebirth ritual, he effectively became a horcrux for Harry, but that was addressed in another video
Who knows? Maybe 10 years later JK will reveal that their are actually more horcruxes and hence Voldemort is resurrected, so there will a sequel trilogy just like Star Wars!
It's possible. When we saw him defeated in the final film, that could've simply been his body being destroyed. His soul is probably inside of an object that could be released with a ritual of some sort.
No, just no. She already messed up the plot enough with "The Cursed Child". And Star Wars is actually perfect of an answer how NOT to make a sequel trilogy. Like, twice.
I always assumed that each time you split the soul the entire things got weaker and so each new horcrux is more dangerous then the last to make and that volermort only was able to make 7 because of how powerful he was and that he was unwilling to risk an eighth.
That's what Im thinking too. You only got so much. If you cut off your arm, you cant just cut off that same arm again. It makes logical sense to me that the soul is limited, which is why I always thought that the reason why Voldy didnt create more.
Judging from how the book phrased it, it's the killing that shatters a soul, and i doubt he only killed 7 people to make 7 horcruxes (I like to count Quirrell as an horcrux). Then creating the horcrux would just be about sending the lost soul piece into an object. I think Voldemort could have easily created more if he was not overconfident and obsessed with the number 7. So essentially he lost because of a superstition on the lucky number xD
The moment i read the title i was like “cause 7 is the most powerful magical number and making more than 7 would be very dangerous for him” this isnt a question that is hard to answer
The weirdest thing for me, with Voldemort; by the time he killed Harry's parents, he already had horcruxes in place, which I guess is why any of him "survived" his curse being rebounded back at him, but it seems it left him with so little. He was like a phantom, just living on the back of Quirrel's head, and even that after years. I can't say it didn't work, and he eventually even got a new, regenerated body, but a lich's phylactery his horcruxes weren't.
My theory is that it is impossible to make more as the part of the soul will be too weak as you need to shred it smaller and smaller so it prob works just like ash
Wait a second.. im just now realizing. When he accidentally made Harry into a horcrux, that was only the 6th one wasn't it? If he got Nagini from Bertha Jorkins, that was years after he destroyed himself from trying to kill Harry. So I dont think that Voldemorts soul had anything to do with his destruction from killing Harry, I think it was all from the Love lily gave him. So.. thinking this way, shouldn't we have ever heard about him destroying himself again when he made Nagini a horcrux? Since there was never a big deal made about it, im going to assume that its either an oversight, and Rowling missed it, or maybe there really isn't a limit to how many times you can split your soul. Because Harry wasn't the 7th horcrux, nagini was. Unless im wrong about the timeline, I dunno. But I am confused
he didnt make more as they were destroyed because the parts of his soul trapped in each horcrux did not return back to him, they were destroyed along with the objects. This is why the act of creating horcruxes has always been seen as very risky and dangerous, because you are trusting your soul (very important) and its safety in a finite material object. As Voldemort's horcruxes were destroyed, pieces of his soul were dissappearing, leaving him with less than a soul to split anymore.
Something very interesting is that dementors can absorb someone's soul. I wonder if that means it's possible for others to do it as well if they can magically replicate a dementor's abilities. If that was possible you could have hundreds of horcruxes and a fully powered soul in your main physical body.
To everyone talking about how he could've chosen other objects - Let's not forget how Harry found most of the Horcruxes, the Horcruxes spoke to him in parseltongue and always had something to do with him, so if Voldemort created any other Horcrux it would've spoken to Harry or it would've appeared in his dream.
wasn't that only in the movies though? (I'll admit, it's been awhile since I read book 7, though) even if not, I would dare him to hear a horcrux from the bottom of the ocean or a pile of trash XD (going with the movies, the diadem being in a box muffles the sound some)
@@SRL_05 yes. his words were: Tom Riddle: [Adjusting ring on his finger, the same one in present day Dumbledore's office] Can you only split the soul once? For instance, isn't seven... Horace Slughorn: Seven? Merlin's beard, Tom! Isn't it bad enough to consider killing one person? To rip the soul into seven pieces... This is all hypothetical, isn't it, Tom? All academic? Tom Riddle: [Smiling] Of course, sir. It'll be our little secret.
The movie also featured that Voldemort had 7stones arranged on his window sill in the orphanage, idk if that proves his obsession with "7" earlier or not but hey it's something
I remain with the opinion that even if he wanted to use the relics he should have apperated above the atlantic and drop it in... good luck finding that one
I just realized that Voldemort screwed up with his desired seven soul pieces, he actually ended up with eight. Diary, ring, locket, cup, tiara, Nagini, Harry, and himself.
Maybe Horcrux act like save points and no matter how weak you die you'll come back as strong as your oldest horcrux. This would incentivize Voldy to regain as much strength as possible before attempting to create another. It would be likely to sap his strength so he postponed it until he gained mastery over the Elder Wand. Seems sufficiently arrogant enough for a Voldemort strategy.
@Tang Tomason thanks. Although it's not from harry potter theory but I liked it very much as it says Grindelwald is more powerful than Voldemort. That's very true that actually Grindelwald is stronger....... That not many people agrees with it.....
@@shuvamacharya8001 grindelwald is not technically stronger, voldemort is way stronger than grindelwald, but grindelwald is more dangerous than voldemort, due to his convicing personality, voldemort spread fear to his followers leading to a few betrayal such as malfoy mother who betray voldemort, and some, while grindelwald makes their followers thinks that he is the good guy, he made a faithful followers while voldemort made a fearful followers, ofc if the villain waa grindelwald in hsrry potter then harry would've been dead way earlier
@@davesultan5230Yes, you are definitely true....... But I think Grindelwald has the chance to win against Voldemort as he has lot more knowledge than Voldemort. Voldemort just ignored all other forms magic instead of dark magic and the ones that can make him immortal. In the case of Grindelwald, he was expelled from his school but still he is said to be as intelligent and knowledge as Dumbledore (or slightly more) as confirmed by jkr. He could've destroyed all of Paris only with single spell. He is the master of transfiguration. We have only seen a glimpse of his true power.
@@shuvamacharya8001 im not saying that grindelwald will lose, but 1st thing 1st grindelwald has no chance againts voldemort in 1 on 1 since grindelwald lost to dumbledore even tho he has the elder wand in the legendary duel while voldemort was doing well againts dumbledore in ministry of magic when dumbledore has the elder wand, but if you mean like a war between voldemort and grindelwald then grindelwald will win easily but 1 on 1? Voldemort will win
i think one of the reasons he didnt make more is because you cant use all of your soul otherwise you would end up like you were kissed by a dementor like a shell of a body
Assuming that each split of his soul divided his remaining soul evenly from the amount of soul still contained in his original body, after the first split, he still contained half of his soul. After the second, half of that half would remain, being a fourth. By the time he killed Harry’s mom, only about 0.8% of his soul would be left in his body. Not 8 or 80%, 00.8%. As in 1/128. And after his body was destroyed, I would assume that that portion of his soul was lost forever. In which case, theoretically, unless his revival spell used up a chunk of soul from one of the horcruxs, thus draining it, his new body would just be a conduit for his remaining soul, absent of any soul itself. And because his body would be empty, he would have nothing left to break off and store in objects. That is my personal theory.
@@obi501 way off topic but here's some form of proof; I see it as proof. John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. Cant wait to get to heaven and go through hogwarts with my brothers. *its gonna be so cool* just dont try to actually summon spirits, or talk to the dead. *things lurking in spiritual realm are far more dangerous then any obscurus* p.s. dont practice pagan arts, alchemy, sorcery, channel spirits or talk to the dead.

Me earlier in the video "I wonder if 7 really was the perfect number but there being 8 pieces made him weaker." Later in the video you addressed that very issue
His soul splintered unintentionally after horcrux number five. Voldemort is the only one confirmed to have made multiple horcruxes, likely because the horcrux makers were too shamed to make a second, or would likely end up killing themselves in the effort. He likely doesn't have enough of a soul to make another horcrux
Okay, but J.K.Rowling released that Voldemort created 2 additional horcruxes he did not intend to do in the first place. Harry (Which of course should not be a horcrux). However Rowling said that he created a horcrux in Quirrel's body temporarily and intentionally. How would you fit that in the video, im curious ?
she stated that they are not true horcuxes tho. basically that was answered with the question if the dursleys were horrible to harry because of the influence of voldemorts soul as harry was a horcrux to which she answered: no. harry wasn't a true horcrux. the dursleys were just horrible people. so yeah they temporarily contain his soul but they aren't true horcruxes as he didn't "create" them willingly using the ritual and whatever is done to create them.
@@wiktorpee7700 i mean for how horcruxes are truely made we don't know. all we know is that you have to murder to split the soul and then remove the piece of soul and transfer it into an object and that is done with some sort of ritual we have no details about until jk decides to speak about it. basically those 2 things are pretty much in the dark for us. 1. how voldemort got his rudementary body - this babyform we see him in in the goblet of fire and 2. the full process of horcrux creation. 1 apparently almost made jk's editor vomit and 2 we don't really know why she doesn't speak about it. most likely also because it's pretty disgusting or horrible.
@@Dunkelelf3 To be honest, I think she should not reveal it... maybe for now. The reason for it is pretty simple. Now everyone is hyped up about not knowing how it is done and its amazing. If she told us how its done, it would be a pretty normal thing for us. I like it that way
What made Tom so evil ? Charming one certain teacher, framing other students, killing people so they don’t go telling on Tom. Did he love magic that much that he wanted to live forever and went looking in the restiratin section on if it was possible then went asking slughorn
Yes he did love magic that much … magic gave him purpose, it got him away from the orphanage, it gave him his first true home. Voldemort owed everything he became to magic and finding out he was a wizard … it literally changed his life
Here's an interesting question. Suppose you create a Horcrux and you live out your life without killing or fighting anyone. You just find a nice, quiet life and fade into anonymity. What happens then? Does your body continually age over your life? Do you grow increasingly old, decrepit, and senile? As far as I understand, Horcruxes keep you tethered to Earth in case your body is destroyed, meaning your body is still vulnerable to damage. Could that include damage be caused by aging? Imagine that. You're centuries old. Your body is barely functioning. Your brain turned to mush. Yet you cannot die. You cannot pass on. You cannot escape.
I also wondered if creating a Horcrux would prevent the user from aging or dying of natural causes. Unfortunately, it has never been specified by JK Rowling.
I don't think a horcrux could really protect you from a natural death or at least it's not the point of it, since it's clearly a really different magic than the one used to create the philosopher's stone. I do believe however, that a powerful wizard can live a really long time anyway, and when you wish to be the greatest Dark wizard of all times, you don't really expect to die from a natural cause, and even if it could happen you would have a lot of time to think about it later. Maybe, just maybe, the part of your soul that you kept could grow old, while the others would stay at the state they were when you made the horcruxes, since they are not really resting in a conventional body anyway, kinda like the Tom Riddle in the diary was really similar to what he was at this age, and to return he would have to steal the energy of someone anyway, maybe in the wizarding world, being immortal is just as "simple" as stealing someone life anyway.
My head cannon is that ultimately Voldemort is responsible for fiend Fyre being taught to his death eaters and therefore in a way he destroyed his own horcrux

Because plot!
I have a theory on that. Or actually two.
1) He kept them close by in case he ever needed to protect any of them.
2) The magic of the Hocruxes have to be within a certain distance of the owner in order for them to be effective. I'm only guessing this one because some charms and spells only span over limited distances.
@@TheHumblePotato but Goldy spent time in Albania as a spirit after his demise.... And yet the horcruxes were still in the UK and working as intended 😉

@ZEDDREX NAVARRA but Voldemort only intended to have a 7-part soul: 6 horcruxes and the remaining piece in his body. So, as Dumbledore explains in chapter 23 of Half Blood Prince, making 6 horcruxes should be his limit.
However Voldemort goes beyond this by accidentally creating Harry as his 7th Horcrux, thereby making him have an 8-part soul. So 7 is not the limit.

Obliviate.
To clear up the comment section:
Voldemort killed the six people to get the Horcruxes he mentions in the video (The diary, The ring, The cup, The diadem, The locket, and the snake) Because your own soul is the seventh part, he stops there having his soul split in 7 pieces which he thought was a good number. He accidentally created another Horcruxes in Harry splitting his soul into 8 pieces with 7 Horcruxes. He didn’t create more because he was only aware about the destroying of the Horcruxes for a short amount of time and didn’t think anyone would find them all.
i think he wanted to create 7 horcruxes. he has a horcrux in an item from every hogwarts founder except Gryffindor. the diadem of rowena, goblet of helga and locket of salazar. i think he tried to make a 7th horcrux of godric's sword when he went after the potter family but thnx to lily he accidently maked harry the 7th horcrux. he thought he failed but was too weak to create another one after that encounter. it isn't logical if he just stopped making horcruxes before he completed his hogwarts founder collection, just like its not logical to accidently split your soul. if its as easy as you killed someone you now have a horcrux, then a lot of wizards would have them by now. nah, voldy already started the ritual of putting it in godric's sword and then lily messed up the ritual causing the soul to latch unto harry instead
@@palmagius He wanted 7 soul pieces - 6 horcruxes, 1 in his body. Lily and James never had the sword. The reason his soul split by accident, was because the horcrux spell was designed to be used one time, while he made 5 horcruxes by that point. Death from Avada caused his destabilized soul to split again and latch onto Harry. Basically doing it accidentally requires you to have done it on purpose several times beforehand... Which no one did, until Voldie.
Also, Harry was the 6th horcrux. Nagini was made after the events of Philosopher's Stone, offscreen. Mainly because Voldie thought he was making her into the 6th, while unaware that he was actually making the 7th.
It carries interesting implications though - Voldie turned himself into a more flawed immortal, than if he just made one or two horcruxes, as his soul can demonstrably be split with Avada right now, and there's supposed to be a limit to how much mangling a single soul can take... So basically if you barrage him with Killing Curses everytime he gets back into a body, eventually you'll destroy his soul - which is something people with just one horcrux can survive, since their souls are relatively intact by comparison.
@@MrKoraboras sounds less logical to me. in my headcannon the theory is real
Nagini became a horcrux after harry
Also I think fear would play into it, because while objectively if you could make more you maybe would try to just keep making them, if you were truly afraid of dying then you wouldn’t want to be unsure of the number of lives you have left and you wouldn’t hide them too far away because if you were careless they could all get destroyed despite making new ones and you still wouldn’t know… Voldemort was truly afraid of dying, so he wouldn’t create something so important only to lose track of them and be unsure of how many he had actually made.
He also only discovered his horcruxes were compromised like 24 hours before the battle of Hogwarts.
Yes and he was absolutely certain that no one could ever find the diadem.
@@stevey7997 And that nobody would get close to Nagini to kill her.
@@stevey7997 That's Voldemort's stupidest moment. Literally everybody knows about that room and he was really over here thinking he was the only one
@@SkittlesInYourHand It's because, AFAIK, you'd only find the Diadem there if you went there looking for it, otherwise the room would take shape as what you need.
To be fair, if you thought you had 6 back-ups of all your data in different forms and protected places that you had never told anyone about and no-one had ever managed to do it before (to that level), you would be confident.
So, Voldemort was correct. 7 pieced soul literally made him unbeatable. But then, some mother's love for her child ripped his soul again and the container of that 8th piece ultimately killed him.

There have been theories that Voldemort wanted to create a seventh Horcrux using the sword of Gryffindor, and that he was thinking that the sword would appear the night he killed the Potters. Also I would say that Voldemort was extremely arrogant, and foolish to let Slughorn live, when he was the only one who knew he's secret, I mean had Voldemort killed Slughorn, then the Horcruxes might not have been discovered.
Expect he wasnt being arrogant he was grateful to slughorn for helping him he even went to visit him after he returned
@@quinelliott2705 Where does it say that? It isn't in the books, Slughorn was in hiding after he came back for over a year.
@@Player_6 Not my question, when and where did Voldemort visit Slughorn after he came back?
Yes the death-eaters wanted to recruit him and what would they have done if he refused? That's why he was hiding.
No, the theory is that Voldemort was trying to create sixth (not seventh) horcrux with Harry's death using the sword of Gryffindor. This seems quite likely because he has already used objects relating to the other houses as horcruxes (and sword of Gryffindor could appear and disappear), he liked to create horcruxes with significant deaths, and at that point had "only" five horcruxes. Voldemort never knew Harry became a horcrux, and made Nagini a horcrux with the death of Berta Jorkins in 1994, when Voldemort was hiding in Albania. Voldemort thought Nagini was his sixth horcrux, but she was the seventh.
Quin Elliott when has Voldemort, dark Lord evil mastermind incarnate ever honestly done something kind out of gratitude lol
7 is the magical number of completion.. and Tom being obsessed with being “pure” and all powerful, he believed 7 horcuxes to be a perfect number. Although Harry was an accidental horcrux. It’s strange. Live by the horcrux, die by the horcrux 😂

There wre 7 years in Hogwarts, 7 secret passageways out of the castle and 7 horcruxes. You have to agree that 7 was Rowling's favourite number
How much of a soul does one need? Assuming that a Horcrux splits the soul exactly in half, by the time Voldemort made his final Horcrux, he would only have 1/128th of his soul left in his resurrected body.
I think Voldemort knew that, had he made another Horcrux, there would be so little soul left that he’d abandon his ambitions of being the Dark Lord and enter politics.
@@Matty_Matty_Matty_Matty I made the assumption that the soul is split exactly in half. Your assumption is that the entire soul splits evenly, regardless of how many horcruxes there are. It’s an interesting idea but implies that the soul, though mangled, is still connected despite physical separation.
Voldemort’s first Horcrux (the diary of I recall), would have 1/2 of his soul.
But his body would only have half of his soul to work with for future Horcruxes.
So his next Horcrux would contain half of his half-soul, or 1/4.
And the next would house half of that quarter, or 1/8.
So that’s three Horcruxes, and Voldemort already has only 1/8 of his original soul in his body.
The next three would leave him with 1/16, 1/32, and 1/64th of his original soul, respectively.
Which is interesting because it could mean that the only reason Harry could withstand Voldemort’s soul fragment is because it is substantially smaller than a normal Horcrux would be.
After Nagini, with only 1/128th of his original soul, I think Voldemort couldn’t risk creating another Horcrux without potentially losing his soul. What was left of it.
I think it might be interesting that, if magic is connected to the soul, that Voldemort actually made himself WEAKER with each successive Horcrux.
@@Matty_Matty_Matty_Matty Yeah, it says he splits it into 7, but nowhere does it say they're equal. For that to work out, the magic would have had to know on the first time how many times he was going to use it. Or, failing that, if it automatically takes a seventh, then Harry being made one should have made him completely soulless.
@@mage1439well, we have time turners that make the predetermined changes in predetermined time
I challenge this idea. There is no...absolutely NO...indication in the books that each time a horcrux is created, the soul, or whatever fraction remains, is split exactly in half. I've split wood many times, and each cut is never exactly half. With a large part of the trunk, one splits it into several smaller pieces, none of which are half.
To my thinking, when the soul is split, a fragment is concealed in an object for safe keeping. Never does it say that fragment is literally half.
Of course, it all leads back to V's soul being so maimed and fragmented, he had little left, once the horcruces were destroyed. But when one is dealing with a human soul, literal mathematics seem moot to me.
I don't think the soul is composed of quantity such that these sorts of divisions make sense.
I think what needs to be mentioned at this point is that when your soul is spilt it is always cut in a half, imagine a piece of pie. Meaning that the diary(1st horcrux to be created) contained 1/2 of voldemords soul and the last horcrux (accidently the 7th), namly nagini contained only 1/256th of his soul. Just imagine cuting this piece of a pie into half and giving it to someone😂
I don’t think it specified you always give up half of your currently remaining soul did it? It just tears off a piece; there’s really no telling how MUCH of each his soul each bit has
@@dakotayupyupyup8377 No because if you only make one you possess half of your soul. It's extraordinary logical to continue making smaller and smaller more insignificant horcrux the more you make.
alaskanhybrid what you’re saying is completely untrue though; no where in a single script of Harry Potter or Rowling’s writings does it state you give up half your soul when you make a horcrux, they always use worlds like tear, split, and “a fragment”.
It would even be very safe to assume Harry had more than 1/256th a Voldemort fragment within him considering their intense mental connections and circumstances like Fawke’s wands choosing both Tom and Harry.
The idea that he halves it each time is kinda stupid imo, they said “piece” when referring to it and I would assume he just splits a 7th of it.
Doctor Whomst'd've yeah I mean, if someone intended to only make one horcrux in their life and intended to use half their soul, the maybe, but Tom literally intended to only release 6 other bits of his soul
When you think that murder split the soul even if you don't make a horcurx. He killed possible over 100 People. A so ripped soul plus a 8 part soul makes me wonder how he even can exist
In the hbp book slughorn explained that there is a specific spell
I'm sure he killed well over a thousand, possibly tens of thousands, most of whom died in the First Wizarding War.
He would've just withered away if he did anything past 7 horcruxes.
I agree.... Dutch
He did 8. And you could even count professor quirrell as a temporary 9th horcrux
@@anonymousunknown2919 alright professor 😂😂
Perhaps even Voldemort knew there was a limit. And he took this particular piece of magic to that limit.
His soul also became less stable the further it was split, as it's implied that the 7th horcrux, Harry, was created accidentally, which blows the whole "process of making a horcrux" out of the water.
He probably could have made more than 7, but he was having difficulty keeping it at 6.
Wasn’t the Nagini Horcrux created in 1994, when Voldemort was a spirit-like entity?
I believe so. IIRC, he was planning to make his sixth horcrux with the murder of the Potter family.
This is accurate, yes.
It’s not specifically stated though if Voldemort used Naginis venom to create a body BEFORE she became a horcrux or after though; but it could be either case since he could have been using any other loyal host at the time he made the Nagini horcrux;
I think it’s a rather interesting fact that he made nagini a horcrux considering she was both snake and ‘human’; but also used her venom for this very reason since, magically speaking, she was connected to both makes and humans.
This venom, along with unicorn blood(sustaining life upon the brink of death), along with a unique spell or two allowed worm tail to create Voldemort a baby-like body that was hairless and scaly; rather snakelike indeed.
This could be the biggest reason why he looked snakelike after his resurrection; because the baby-body he had used was indeed part snake.
When Voldemort killed the muggle caretaker Frank Bryce.
alaskanhybrid not trying to be mean, just helpful but;
Nagini was made into a horcrux after Voldemort tortured and killed Bertha Jorkins, using this murder as the catalyst for the horcrux creation.
At the beginning of Goblet of Fire, we can assume Voldemort had already recruited Nagini, used her venom to create his baby body, and turned her into a horcrux, quite possibly in that order though it’s unclear.
He was using a rudimentary body at that point so not exactly a spirit lol
Here’s an interesting thought if one splits his soul in half by creating a Horcrux then after creating 1 you’d be at 50% soul, then 25% then 12.5% then 6.25% then 3.125% then 1.562% then finally at 7 Voldemort would have 0.781% of his soul.
This math is wrong. It would be 1/7th.
Maybe why only his first one (diary) was able to get to such power on it's own.
If I remember reading right, this isn't quite how it worked, and creating a horcrux splits a small part off of the soul, and in Voldemorts case, his horcruxes should be roughly the same in terms of soul.
I got sucked into the potter wiki a few weeks ago and remember seeing that there.
@@Sidiciousify it would be 1/7th if he split into equal parts from the beginning and made them all together. If he splits his soul in half every single time he makes one then the math is spot on. Depends on in what way he splits his soul
@@Sidiciousify same concept of of there is a 1/6 chance of rolling a dice to hit a specific number. But as I roll over and over again that doesn't mean every 6 rolls I will get exactly 1 of each number. It means every successive roll would be 1/6 odds of hitting that number dragging the overall odds down as more rolls are thrown
This was covered in Slughorns memories. 7 is the most powerful number according to Voldemort, so he chose to make 7 horcruxes believing that would be enough. Harry becomes the 8th horcrux that Voldemort never intended to make.
He wanted 6 horcruxes, and Harry was the 7th. 6 horcruxes means a 7-part soul (one part in his body), but with 7 horcruxes, his soul was split in 8 parts which weakened him.
Harry was the 6th. Nagini was the 7th. There was no 8th horcrux.
@@witchilich No 8th horcrux, sure, but by the time he created a horcrux in Nagini, his soul was split into 8 parts. 1 Part in himself, and the other 7 in the 7 horcruxes. But, he only wanted 6 to have a 7-part soul.
I like how Voldermort, the most "powerful" destroyed himself atleast 3 times and accidentally "dropped" a part of his soul on his biggest enemy. Lol.
Thats how the movie started💀
You should make a video either on how wands are made or on what qualities chose your wand. (Like bravery would mean you’d have one kind of wood or core, kindness would be another, etc.)
Voldemort created 7 horcruxes in total, Harry being an unintentional horcrux. A piece of his soul latched on to Harry after his body was destroyed due to his killing curse rebounding once Lily stepped in his way when trying to murder an infant Harry.
His first horcrux was Tom Riddles diary, being more of a weapon, used to once again open the Chamber of Secrets once the diary enters Hogwarts. He murdered Moaning Myrtle in order to create this one.
His second was the Gaunt Family ring and he used his father and grandfather to create this one.
His third horcrux was Helga Hufflepuffs Cup and he murdered Hepzibah Smith in order to create this one.
His fourth horcrux was Salazar Slytherins Locket, and he killed a random muggle in order to create this one.
His fifth horcrux was Ravenclaws diadem and he killed an Albanian Traveler in order to create this one.
His sixth horcrux was Harry himself, as I've previously stated. He killed Lily Potter in order for his sixth horcrux to be created, without his knowledge.
His 7th horcrux was actually Nagini and was the last horcrux that he created. He had killed Bertha Jorkins in order to create this one and created this horcrux when he was still in his frail and infant like body we seen in the movie "Goblet of Fire."
But Voldemort wanted to create 7 horcruxes in all, with 7 being the most powerful magically number. As the number 7 has popped up in the Harry Potter franchise in every movie, multiple times.
We dont know what would have been his final horcrux, as to his own knowledge he still only had 6 horcruxes. He didnt know Harry was a horcrux, so to Voldemort, he only had 6, not 7. So it's safe to assume that he still wanted to create one last horcrux.
Is it possible he made more horcruxs without his knowledge just like with Harry?
The dude did murdered alot of muggles/none muggles.
Ummm nagini
@@ssjmonstar no, it's highly unlikely. As in, like a 0.1% chance of happening. There was special circumstances that have happened when Voldemort tried to kill Harry as an infant, causing his soul to split without his knowledge.
Voldemort hesitated to kill Lily at first, due to Snapes begging of him to spare Lily and he gave her a chance to join him and his Death Eaters. Which she declined and he told her to step aside, which she refused to. So he then decided to attack Harry and end it there but due to Voldemort sparing Lily, when she defied him once more and stepped in to protect her son, that is what caused the protection.
All of the circumstances that happened when Voldemorts body was first destroyed was 1 in a million. With Snape begging Voldemort to spare Lily, and he actually was going to, but Lily jumping in to save her son. It was basically a freak incident, as Voldemort would've killed any other man, woman or child without a seconds thought.
It's almost as if... these circumstances were put together for a movie, or a book or something. Hmmmmm 🤔🤔

@@ssjmonstar I actually would love for him to return. Imagine a Harry Potter franchise revolving around our time period! It would be amazing to see the wizarding world in 2020 lol
Voldemort didn't know the Horcruxes were being destroyed until very late in the game, and, as you say, I doubt there would have been any time to create more. Besides, he was already too weakened by dividing his soul more times than he even realized.
Bunyamin Esen he wasnt weaker his soul was weaker he was less human almost inhuman but his powers didnt get any worse
So Voldemort’s horcruxes have different amounts of his soul in them I guess.
1st: 1/2 soul
2nd: 1/4 soul
3rd: 1/8 soul
4th: 1/16 soul
5th: 1/32 soul
6th: 1/64 soul
7th: 1/128 soul
Voldemort had 1/128 of his soul left after creating Nagini it looks like.
Exactly. And this means that the earlier horcruxes would have had more raw power, as the portion of his soul was larger in them, but the later ones would have been more sophisticated, as Voldemort would have been more experienced at the time he made them.
I challenge this idea. There is no...absolutely NO...indication in the books that each time a horcrux is created, the soul, or whatever fraction remains, is split exactly in half. I've split wood many times, and each cut is never exactly half. With a large part of the trunk, one splits it into several smaller pieces, none of which are half.
To my thinking, when the soul is split, a fragment is concealed in an object for safe keeping. Never does it say that fragment is literally half.
Of course, it all leads back to V's soul being so maimed and fragmented, he had little left, once the horcruces were destroyed. But when one is dealing with a human soul, literal mathematics seem moot to me.
if voldemort didnt know he made a horcrux in harry, how did he know that there was 7 horcruxes
He didn’t know
Voldemort intended to split his soul into 7 pieces, 1 of those being himself, so only 6 horcuxes were necessary
He split into 8, including himself
He thought it were 6 plus the part of his soul, that lives in Voldemort himself. He asked Slughorn to split his soul 7 times, not to create 7 Horcruxes.
Harry Potter Legends well if that would have killed him, how could he make Nagini a Horcrux? He didn’t even had a real body at this time and was weak. But he still managed to kill Frank Brice and make a horcrux🤔 Edit: with kill I mean „body destroyed“
The Horcrux books were stored in Dumbledores office. Hermione summons them with "accio" after Dumbledores funeral. And these books describe elaborately how Horcruxes are made and everything you would want to know about them.
I think his obsession with the number 7 was one factor (though he never realized he created a addition horcrux in Harry). I also think it also comes down to what Dumbledore said when he mentioned Voldemort has tested the limit of magic in so many ways. It’s fair to ponder if it was even possible for Voldemort to continue to rip his soul more without making him more vulnerable.
I mean Horace thought 1 Horcrux is already a big deal, it is already seen as problematic to split your soul once. But split it some more?
It's like trying to kill yourself for more than once, how can you even do it the second time when you're already dead? Well, Voldy can lol.
Also making one is probably too painful, he's just too high up in his head to at least reach 7.
He couldn’t, his soul was already split to it’s limit. There. I saved you 11 mins of your life.
B Joestar 😊
Yeah but Voldemort was to go ignorant to realise that
B Joestar Thanks for saving me the time
Not to mention splitting your soul is hella painful.
By the time of the last movie he only had oo.00.054 of his original soul left.
I love when everyone suggests him picking a regular stone and throw in the ocean. That’s kinda what he did with the diadem and the ROR. First, for someone to suggest a stone is just as barbaric as someone suggesting an artifact that is been lost for centuries. Secondly, pinning it down to the ROR would suggest Voldy got back into hogwarts (which I think only dumbledore knew 100% bc he wanted the DADA position). And third, even if you know it’s the diadem in the ROR, it would take forever (unless u can sense them like Harry). So to Voldemort this one horcrux was his like 100% no one is going to find it. And Harry wouldn’t of even found it if Voldy didn’t have his little panic attack after Gringotts.
Nah, even if you cant find the diadem you can still destroy the whole place out of desperation. If you throw a random rock in the deeps of the ocean how are you gonna destroy the ocean? Wvwn if you knew where it was thrown going a mile deep makes it all harder because there is no light that deep and also you need to cast a spell that can withstand that pressure for weeks or months just to find the rock.
Well, the horcrux spell splits someones soul and places it into an object. The reason Voldemort didn’t is that he ran out of soul to split
they should do a spinoff series covering voldemort from youth to his first downfall.
Awesome theory. Question to follow: could a Dementor remove the soul from a horcrux?
Lol amazing question, now I wonder the same haha
Huh.... probably no. Horcruxes r powerful objects, with incredible defenses. And u can't kiss them😂
@@adib3011 😂😂😂😂
The reason he had seven Horcruxes is as seven had a ‘meaning’ to him as seven is a ‘lucky’ number, and he most likely thought that the ‘luck’ in it would keep them for being destroyed. But thats just a theory
*A FILM THEORY*
Aaaaand cut!
So in a way...Lucius Malfoy help Harry's team by giving the diary to gonna?
Honestly I don't think it would of been possible, don't forget Harry was an accidental horcrux. His soul had been split so much that it became unstable, which was is implied to be the reason his soul latched onto baby Harry
Nagini was the last horcrux. Not harry
So he wasn't done making them when he targetted Harry?
@@TioMegamanX Like i said. Nagini was his last. And bertha jorkins didnt disapear untill book four (Though, that was the first time she was even mentioned)
Tío Megaman X If Harry died,the sword of griffindor would be a horcux
@@zerszo This is just a lose theory. I bet if he targeted Neville, he would have had a horcrux relating to Gryphondor. Voldemort's two prominent ancestors were Cadmus peverell and Salazar Slytherin. Harry has a connection to Voldemort on the Peverell side, shouldn't Neville have a connection on the founders side? It's more poetic speculation than anything
That would make it 8 if Harry was one too.
It's about math. Splitting the soul 7(8) times leaves the Wizard with less than 1% of soul left. Here's the math:
100%(full soul) is split = 50% of soul left (1st Horcrux)
50% is split = 25% left (2nd Horcrux)
25% is split = 12.5% left (3rd Horcrux)
12.5% is split = 6.25% left (4th Horcrux)
6.25% is split = 3.125% left (5th Horcrux)
3.125% is split = 1.56% left (6th Horcrux)
1.56% is split = 0.78% left (7th Horcrux)
Vold now has less than 1% of his soul left. This is why he made no more Horcruxes. And with the 8th Horcrux (Harry)...
0.78% split = 0.39%. Also explains why Vold doesnt have more control over Harry; Harry only had 0.39% of Volds soul inside him 🤘👍 Yay math.
Good vid!
Well in the books it said splitting the soul even one time was dangerous it doing it 7 would make you unstable and he didn’t think that one of them would be found and destroyed let alone all of them.

@@KINGClanYT so? It's the same universe
I could say that the the person who truly killed voldemort wasn't Harry it actually was lily who killed him with her love for Harry
Your soul becomes dangerously unstable. Voldemort wanted 7 only
And during the video I can't stop coming up with a bunch of questions. Voldemort, has always wanted to kill Harry. But I can't believe that it is to destroy the horcrux within Harry, without being for the purpose of creating the one 7th he intended. Because, as well as I remember, Dumbledore tells Harry that Harry was the Horcrux Vlodemort never intended to make....
Seven is an extremely symbolic number. Voldemort had only intended to split his soul six times for a total of seven pieces. The books flat out state that one Horcrux is horrific enough in what it does to your soul, and we all know what six does to someone's appearance. Voldemort's soul was severely damaged and warped by the time he went to kill the Potters. Inadvertantly creating the seventh Horcrux within Harry then made seven pieces of soul into eight, ruining the symbolism, which is extremely significant. Hence things like the connection between the two.
Nagini was the last one he made when he got his body back if i remember correctly
Please try to make a video on Herpo The Foul
I would like to watch it too, but there's almost no information on Herpo. Only a few wiki pages, and passing mentions in the books. A shame.

@@twopieceshippudden9850 accio information?
Here's my question why didn't he just use simple rocks then throw them in some pound
I believe Harry asks more or less the same question in the 6th book. Dumbledore then tells him that Voldemort would only take the most meaningful objects as hosts for a part of his soul.
even rocks break down over time
Because you have to care for your soul 😱
Or instead of Nagini he chooses a Phoenix. Since a phoenix can’t be destroyed (cause it always rises back from its ashes). He’d be immortal and unstoppable.
The Krught I think the life of Harry explains it after the Phoenix has died it will stop even though it will re appear
Good video! I always adored the idea of Tom Riddle brutally sacrificing pieces of his own in the process of taking other people's lifes. I also like to think that his body transfigured after any committed murder, so the once human face slowly began to change to a snake like demon. If he made more horcruxes he could have gone broke and looking like a possessed toddler again.
I always fancied the design of other dark wizards, for they are mostly fearsome easy to recognize, but they still look like real people. Voldi however is the only portrayed human wizard that could have easily been just "another breed that created a magic wand". Just imagine him working. "Okay, number 5, I am getting good at this - oh feck, my nose fell off."
Imagine Voldemort turned every grain of sand in a beach a Horcrux XD
This is one of my favorites among your videos - very interesting and gave plausible answers to some questions I’ve had for a long time. Thank you.
Why did Dumbuldore personally visited Tom Riddle? I've always been curious about that
Yeah and why did he not warn the other teachers about him? Tom was clearly mentally unstable. Even a blind person would see it
Dumbledore was only a teacher of Transfiguration back when Tom Riddle was in the Orphanage. In the books its explained that a Hogwarts teacher will visit witches and wizards that are either Muggle Born or who live with Muggles and explain to either their carers or the witch/wizard themselves what Hogwarts is and that they're a wizard. They'll then personally give the witch/wizard their Hogwarts letter. Harry wasn't visited by a Hogwarts teacher until the Dursley's moved to the island in the middle of the sea because they were under the assumption that Harry already knew about being a wizard. Obviously Hagrid was then sent after the letters went unread by Harry to explain the situation because of the Dursley's moving around the country and the amount of letters being sent to Harry by the charmed quill that wrote Hogwarts Letters.
Number 7 at first. But after Nagini the reason is: Time. He had no time nor a valuable object to do so. He was fighting to save the ones he already had. Then nagini was alive after Harry's fake death, and with Dumbledore death too he had no rush to create more.
Should have used glasses as a horcrux... oculus repairo!
@Asalt asath mohammed true
Too many soul splittings would make him a hive mind, instead of having a big enough "self" chunk in his one body.
Honestly, I think that if Voldemort created more Horcruxes, it would have left him on the brink of death. Dividing himself into seven pieces is bad enough, but creating an eighth could make things worse. Besides, it might be that it would take too long to create a new Horcrux, as by the time he would, he would have already turned into Creepy Flakes. It would just destroyed by Harry and company.
I believe that too, seven wasn't a random number, one is already quite important, more than seven would at least reduce your magical abilities, but Voldemort created 7 horcruxes by mistake because of the one in harry, so that's 8 pieces of his soul, I believe it played against him on many aspects, and it could be the reason why everything finally gone wrong for him
Why didn't Voldemort work on creating a philosopher's stone instead of ripping his soul into multiple peaces? If he was that scared of dying, he should have chummed it up with Flamel.
Keep up the awesome HP content guys! You are rocking my world!!
Creating a horcrux takes a set amount of the soul, presumably 1/7th. By the time he went to kill Harry, he only had 1/7th of his soul left in his body which then latched itself onto Harry. When he went to regenerate himself with the rebirth ritual, he took Harry’s blood which put a bit of his own soul (let’s say 1/14th for simplicity), as well as a bit of Harry’s soul into him (also saying 1/14th bc that would give Voldy 1/7th of a soul but in two parts). At this point, his soul was in 8 uneven pieces with one seventh having been destroyed. Even if he had considered creating what to his knowledge would have been a 7th horcrux he wouldn’t have had any soul left to give, even if it wasn’t already in 8 pieces. Also, since a bit of Harry’s soul was inside Voldemort from the rebirth ritual, he effectively became a horcrux for Harry, but that was addressed in another video
Who knows?
Maybe 10 years later JK will reveal that their are actually more horcruxes and hence Voldemort is resurrected, so there will a sequel trilogy just like Star Wars!
It's possible. When we saw him defeated in the final film, that could've simply been his body being destroyed. His soul is probably inside of an object that could be released with a ritual of some sort.
God, I hope that doesn't happen.
@@KamenSentaiMetalHero I'm a star wars fan so I know what you mean.
No. Just no.
No, just no. She already messed up the plot enough with "The Cursed Child". And Star Wars is actually perfect of an answer how NOT to make a sequel trilogy. Like, twice.
I always assumed that each time you split the soul the entire things got weaker and so each new horcrux is more dangerous then the last to make and that volermort only was able to make 7 because of how powerful he was and that he was unwilling to risk an eighth.
That's what Im thinking too. You only got so much. If you cut off your arm, you cant just cut off that same arm again. It makes logical sense to me that the soul is limited, which is why I always thought that the reason why Voldy didnt create more.
My question though, did he really know that he created a Horcrux out of Harry? If not, then he should've created an 8th not knowing...
Judging from how the book phrased it, it's the killing that shatters a soul, and i doubt he only killed 7 people to make 7 horcruxes (I like to count Quirrell as an horcrux). Then creating the horcrux would just be about sending the lost soul piece into an object. I think Voldemort could have easily created more if he was not overconfident and obsessed with the number 7. So essentially he lost because of a superstition on the lucky number xD
The moment i read the title i was like “cause 7 is the most powerful magical number and making more than 7 would be very dangerous for him” this isnt a question that is hard to answer
The weirdest thing for me, with Voldemort; by the time he killed Harry's parents, he already had horcruxes in place, which I guess is why any of him "survived" his curse being rebounded back at him, but it seems it left him with so little. He was like a phantom, just living on the back of Quirrel's head, and even that after years. I can't say it didn't work, and he eventually even got a new, regenerated body, but a lich's phylactery his horcruxes weren't.
My theory is that it is impossible to make more as the part of the soul will be too weak as you need to shred it smaller and smaller so it prob works just like ash
2:10 hey that’s me when I wake up!
Wait a second.. im just now realizing. When he accidentally made Harry into a horcrux, that was only the 6th one wasn't it? If he got Nagini from Bertha Jorkins, that was years after he destroyed himself from trying to kill Harry. So I dont think that Voldemorts soul had anything to do with his destruction from killing Harry, I think it was all from the Love lily gave him. So.. thinking this way, shouldn't we have ever heard about him destroying himself again when he made Nagini a horcrux? Since there was never a big deal made about it, im going to assume that its either an oversight, and Rowling missed it, or maybe there really isn't a limit to how many times you can split your soul. Because Harry wasn't the 7th horcrux, nagini was. Unless im wrong about the timeline, I dunno. But I am confused
Oh yeah that makes sense actualy
he didnt make more as they were destroyed because the parts of his soul trapped in each horcrux did not return back to him, they were destroyed along with the objects. This is why the act of creating horcruxes has always been seen as very risky and dangerous, because you are trusting your soul (very important) and its safety in a finite material object. As Voldemort's horcruxes were destroyed, pieces of his soul were dissappearing, leaving him with less than a soul to split anymore.
Something very interesting is that dementors can absorb someone's soul. I wonder if that means it's possible for others to do it as well if they can magically replicate a dementor's abilities. If that was possible you could have hundreds of horcruxes and a fully powered soul in your main physical body.
To everyone talking about how he could've chosen other objects -
Let's not forget how Harry found most of the Horcruxes, the Horcruxes spoke to him in parseltongue and always had something to do with him, so if Voldemort created any other Horcrux it would've spoken to Harry or it would've appeared in his dream.
Acio Horcrux
wasn't that only in the movies though? (I'll admit, it's been awhile since I read book 7, though)
even if not, I would dare him to hear a horcrux from the bottom of the ocean or a pile of trash XD (going with the movies, the diadem being in a box muffles the sound some)
Ironic, Herpo the foul was the first and his descendant, Tom Riddle was the last to create a Horcrux
yaared
Wait, I thought Harry was the crux he never intended to make? And to that point, didn’t realize he had?
Didn't Slughorn say to a young Tom Riddle in the HBP, that the maximum times you can split your soul is 7?
no
@@SRL_05 yes. his words were:
Tom Riddle:
[Adjusting ring on his finger, the same one in present day Dumbledore's office] Can you only split the soul once? For instance, isn't seven...
Horace Slughorn:
Seven? Merlin's beard, Tom! Isn't it bad enough to consider killing one person? To rip the soul into seven pieces... This is all hypothetical, isn't it, Tom? All academic?
Tom Riddle:
[Smiling] Of course, sir. It'll be our little secret.
The movie also featured that Voldemort had 7stones arranged on his window sill in the orphanage, idk if that proves his obsession with "7" earlier or not but hey it's something
I remain with the opinion that even if he wanted to use the relics he should have apperated above the atlantic and drop it in... good luck finding that one
Apparate to the moon, put one in the Mariana trench or make one an indestructible object
It would be found like the one ring.
I just realized that Voldemort screwed up with his desired seven soul pieces, he actually ended up with eight.
Diary, ring, locket, cup, tiara, Nagini, Harry, and himself.
When Voldy got to 7 horocruxes, he found out he can't reach to *69* of them, so he just gave up and settled with 7
Maybe Horcrux act like save points and no matter how weak you die you'll come back as strong as your oldest horcrux. This would incentivize Voldy to regain as much strength as possible before attempting to create another.
It would be likely to sap his strength so he postponed it until he gained mastery over the Elder Wand.
Seems sufficiently arrogant enough for a Voldemort strategy.
You should have 1 million subs
Simple theory: Seven is a complete number in mythology and the spell of a horcrux can only be 7, no more.

That's very true that actually Grindelwald is stronger....... That not many people agrees with it.....
@@shuvamacharya8001 grindelwald is not technically stronger, voldemort is way stronger than grindelwald, but grindelwald is more dangerous than voldemort, due to his convicing personality, voldemort spread fear to his followers leading to a few betrayal such as malfoy mother who betray voldemort, and some, while grindelwald makes their followers thinks that he is the good guy, he made a faithful followers while voldemort made a fearful followers, ofc if the villain waa grindelwald in hsrry potter then harry would've been dead way earlier
@@davesultan5230Yes, you are definitely true.......
But I think Grindelwald has the chance to win against Voldemort as he has lot more knowledge than Voldemort. Voldemort just ignored all other forms magic instead of dark magic and the ones that can make him immortal.
In the case of Grindelwald, he was expelled from his school but still he is said to be as intelligent and knowledge as Dumbledore (or slightly more) as confirmed by jkr. He could've destroyed all of Paris only with single spell. He is the master of transfiguration. We have only seen a glimpse of his true power.
@@shuvamacharya8001 im not saying that grindelwald will lose, but 1st thing 1st grindelwald has no chance againts voldemort in 1 on 1 since grindelwald lost to dumbledore even tho he has the elder wand in the legendary duel while voldemort was doing well againts dumbledore in ministry of magic when dumbledore has the elder wand, but if you mean like a war between voldemort and grindelwald then grindelwald will win easily but 1 on 1? Voldemort will win
7 was for some reason a meaningful number to him. He had that # in mind since he was an early teen so obviously it had some sentimental meaning. 🤷🏾♂️
Harry wasn‘t the 7th horcrux. He was the 6th one
i think one of the reasons he didnt make more is because you cant use all of your soul otherwise you would end up like you were kissed by a dementor like a shell of a body
But we all know that if he’d made 69 horcruxes then he’d live forever and not one horcrux could be broken.
@Sam Samson or he might be a snake
Assuming that each split of his soul divided his remaining soul evenly from the amount of soul still contained in his original body, after the first split, he still contained half of his soul. After the second, half of that half would remain, being a fourth. By the time he killed Harry’s mom, only about 0.8% of his soul would be left in his body. Not 8 or 80%, 00.8%. As in 1/128. And after his body was destroyed, I would assume that that portion of his soul was lost forever. In which case, theoretically, unless his revival spell used up a chunk of soul from one of the horcruxs, thus draining it, his new body would just be a conduit for his remaining soul, absent of any soul itself. And because his body would be empty, he would have nothing left to break off and store in objects. That is my personal theory.

Me earlier in the video "I wonder if 7 really was the perfect number but there being 8 pieces made him weaker." Later in the video you addressed that very issue
You're a wizard Tom!
His soul splintered unintentionally after horcrux number five. Voldemort is the only one confirmed to have made multiple horcruxes, likely because the horcrux makers were too shamed to make a second, or would likely end up killing themselves in the effort. He likely doesn't have enough of a soul to make another horcrux
Okay, but J.K.Rowling released that Voldemort created 2 additional horcruxes he did not intend to do in the first place. Harry (Which of course should not be a horcrux). However Rowling said that he created a horcrux in Quirrel's body temporarily and intentionally. How would you fit that in the video, im curious ?
she stated that they are not true horcuxes tho. basically that was answered with the question if the dursleys were horrible to harry because of the influence of voldemorts soul as harry was a horcrux to which she answered: no. harry wasn't a true horcrux. the dursleys were just horrible people.
so yeah they temporarily contain his soul but they aren't true horcruxes as he didn't "create" them willingly using the ritual and whatever is done to create them.
@@Dunkelelf3 That is pretty wise man
@@wiktorpee7700 i mean for how horcruxes are truely made we don't know. all we know is that you have to murder to split the soul and then remove the piece of soul and transfer it into an object and that is done with some sort of ritual we have no details about until jk decides to speak about it. basically those 2 things are pretty much in the dark for us.
1. how voldemort got his rudementary body - this babyform we see him in in the goblet of fire and
2. the full process of horcrux creation.
1 apparently almost made jk's editor vomit and 2 we don't really know why she doesn't speak about it. most likely also because it's pretty disgusting or horrible.
@@Dunkelelf3 Now I really know how it's done.
@@Dunkelelf3 To be honest, I think she should not reveal it... maybe for now. The reason for it is pretty simple. Now everyone is hyped up about not knowing how it is done and its amazing. If she told us how its done, it would be a pretty normal thing for us. I like it that way
What made Tom so evil ? Charming one certain teacher, framing other students, killing people so they don’t go telling on Tom. Did he love magic that much that he wanted to live forever and went looking in the restiratin section on if it was possible then went asking slughorn
Yes he did love magic that much … magic gave him purpose, it got him away from the orphanage, it gave him his first true home. Voldemort owed everything he became to magic and finding out he was a wizard … it literally changed his life
Here's an interesting question. Suppose you create a Horcrux and you live out your life without killing or fighting anyone. You just find a nice, quiet life and fade into anonymity. What happens then? Does your body continually age over your life? Do you grow increasingly old, decrepit, and senile? As far as I understand, Horcruxes keep you tethered to Earth in case your body is destroyed, meaning your body is still vulnerable to damage. Could that include damage be caused by aging?
Imagine that. You're centuries old. Your body is barely functioning. Your brain turned to mush. Yet you cannot die. You cannot pass on. You cannot escape.
just destroy the Horcrux yourself! 4Head
I also wondered if creating a Horcrux would prevent the user from aging or dying of natural causes. Unfortunately, it has never been specified by JK Rowling.
I don't think a horcrux could really protect you from a natural death or at least it's not the point of it, since it's clearly a really different magic than the one used to create the philosopher's stone.
I do believe however, that a powerful wizard can live a really long time anyway, and when you wish to be the greatest Dark wizard of all times, you don't really expect to die from a natural cause, and even if it could happen you would have a lot of time to think about it later.
Maybe, just maybe, the part of your soul that you kept could grow old, while the others would stay at the state they were when you made the horcruxes, since they are not really resting in a conventional body anyway, kinda like the Tom Riddle in the diary was really similar to what he was at this age, and to return he would have to steal the energy of someone anyway, maybe in the wizarding world, being immortal is just as "simple" as stealing someone life anyway.
I know all about horcruxes, why can't you just answer the question and do another video about how Tom Riddle and his Horcruxes?
My head cannon is that ultimately Voldemort is responsible for fiend Fyre being taught to his death eaters and therefore in a way he destroyed his own horcrux
