Well it's more like what is a horcux. A horcrux is an item that you put part of your soul into.
No, part of Voldemort's soul is inside Voldemort but it isn't a Horcrux because it was always there.
Because murder rips the soul apart, and a part of one's soul must be split off in order for it to be placed in a Horcrux.
Voldemort casts the killing curse onto harry which then "kills him", yet because part of voldemorts soul was inside harry voldemort only destroyed part of his horcrux and not harry.
ya another harry potter lover now a horcrux is a piece of dark magic and is used when you kill someone and if your body is destroyed part of your soul still lives so you can basically be brought back from the dead
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two.
Totally there are seven horcruxes. Horcrux No:1 - Tom Riddle's Diary (that came in the Harry Potter & the chamber of secrets) Horcrux No:2 - Gaunt ring (which came into Voldemort's possession when he stole it from Marvolo Gaunt) Horcrux No:3 - Slytherin's Locket (original was replaced by a fake one by Regulus Black) Horcrux No:4 - Helga Hufflepuff's cup Horcrux No:5 - Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem Horcrux No:6 - Part of voldemort's soul that was inside Harry Horcrux No:7 - Nagini (Voldemort's snake)
No, he didn't die because he was Horcrux. Had he not been a Horcrux the killing curse would have killed Harry, instead of just the Horcrux.
No the part of Voldemort in side him was killed when he the real Voldemort was killed ~ Actually, the Voldemort part (horcrux) of him died when Voldemort attempted to kill Harry. This killed part of Voldemort's self inside of Harry, the horcrux he hadn't meant to make. -Ben ~
There are seven horcruxes: Tom Riddles diary, Marvolo Gaunt's ring, Helga Hufflepuff's cup, Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, Salazar Slytherin's locket, Nagini (Voldemort's pet snake) and the part of Voldemort's soul that is in Harry Potter. Then there is the eighth part of soul that resides in Voldemort's body (this part of soul does not count as a horcrux). However, Nagini was made a horcrux after Tom Riddle's Diary was destroyed so only six horcruxes ever existed at once (Nagini was made a horcrux with the murder of Bertha Jorkins in the sixth book).
nagini [voldemorts pet snake]
There is no eighth horcrux, as Voldemort only created seven.
Nagini the snake was the last Horcrux to be be created and destroyed.
