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.

What is a horcux?

A horcrux is an artefact created by a dark magician.There is an advanced process in dark magic by which the magician can split his soul into separate pieces, and then store some of those pieces in a physical object, an animal, or (in extreme cases) a person.The magician loses coherence as a person when he creates such a horcrux, but he can no longer be killed unless every horcrux (including the horcrux which is now the magician's own physical body) is destroyed.As a wizard creates more and more horcruxes he become harder to kill (but less coherent as a personality).You can make as many as you want but you get less and less human for each horcrux. The Harry Potter books examine whether this is so.


What does a horcrux mean?

In an online diary entry, Rowling described a Horcrux as a "receptacle in which a Dark wizard has hidden a part of his soul for the purposes of attaining immortality." The wizard becomes immortal so long as the Horcrux remains intact.To make a Horcrux, the person must commit a murder to place a fraction of their soul into a different object, so even if they are killed, the parts of their soul still live on, so they can't fully be gone unless all Horcruxes are destroyed.The retrieval and destruction of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes forms the main focus of the final two books in the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.The following are the details of the destruction of Voldemort's 7 Horcruxes:Harry destroys Tom Riddle's Diary with a Basilisk's fang in the Chamber of Secrets.Albus Dumbledore destroys Marvolo Gaunt's Ring with Godric Gryffindor's Sword in his office.Ron destroys Salazar Slytherin's Locket with the same sword in the Forest of Dean.Hermonie destroys Helga Hufflepuff's Cup with a Bailisk's fang in the Chamber of Secrets.Vincent Crabbe accidentally destroys the Lost Diadem of Rowena Ravenclaw with Fiendfyre in the Room of Requirement.Voldemort hits Harry with the Killing Curse in the Forbidden Forest to unintentionally destroy the eighth part of Voldemort's soul.Neville beheads Nagini with Godric Gryffindor's sword in Hogwarts' Entrance Hall.


When does Hermione destroy the horcruxes?

Harry Potter is the horcrux Voldemort never ment to make. Voldemort made 5, then when he tried to kill Harry when Harry was a baby, a part Voldemort attached to the only living left in the room; Harry Potter. So, yes, Harry Potter is the penultimate (sixth) horcrux. The last one (the seventh) was Nagini.

What happens if you kill a horcrux?

It depends on how many one wizard or witch has. for example, Lord Voldemort had six and a seventh one he never meant to make which was Harry Potter. to be able to have a horcrux that person will have to murder others which will cause their soul to split. like Lord Voldemort, he split his soul into seven pieces. in the harry potter films, one by one they were destroyed. if a horcrux gets destroyed that witch or wizard will feel pain or die if only spliting their souls once. but Lord Voldemort as known as Tom Marvolo Riddle, was obsessed with not dying even at an early age causing him to create so many.

What is a horcrux in the Harry Potter books?

In the Harry Potter series, a horcrux is an object that contains part of a witch or wizard's soul. Through murder, the book says they can split their soul and put one of the pieces in a vessel or container. This stops them from dying, because even if they are killed, part of their soul is still kept safe in the horcrux. However, the soul depends on the container it is stored in, and it cannot survive if the container is destroyed. It is very difficult to destroy a horcrux, with methods shown in the book including basilisk venom or fiendfyre. It is also possible for the maker of the horcrux to make their soul whole again through remorse. The topic of horcruxes is said to be very taboo in the series, with most books mentioning horcruxes removed from the Hogwarts library. In the book, it was said that Voldemort created seven: his grandfather's ring, his diary, Helga Hufflepuff's Cup, Salazar Slytherin's locket, Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem, his snake Nagini, and (accidentally) Harry Potter himself. For each horcrux, a different murder had to be committed. Although Voldemort made seven, this was shown to be unprecedented, as it is very rare for hrocruxes to be made at all, and when they are, usually only one is made.


Explain how Harry Potter is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes?

Most dark wizards never make more than one Horcrux...MAYBE two. Voldemort made SIX (seven, including Harry). Murder rips the soul. That's how you make a Horcrux. You murder someone, which rips your soul in two, and you can store one piece in an object, where it will remain alive should your body die. Ripping the soul makes it unstable. Since Voldemort ripped his soul so many times, he made it VERY unstable. And on the night that the killing curse that was meant for Harry rebounded and hit Voldemort instead, a piece of Voldemort's soul flew out and fused or joined itself with Harry's soul. So, since Harry has a piece of Voldemort's soul in him, he is in fact a living Horcrux.


Are you a wizard?

well, if you can make things fly around the room, use a wand to turn someone into a goat, and or make a pbj sandwich with only a spell book and a wand you are DEFINATELY a witch or wizard

Why is Harry Potter the unintended horcruxe?

The reason he's an unintended horcrux is because the night he tried to kill Harry, he put a piece of his soul inside him(how you make a horcrux). He didn't mean to, though.
