Best Answer

In the FICTIONAL chilidren's story - "Harry Potter" by J.K. Rowling, A Horcrux is an object in which a Dark wizard or witch has hidden a fragment of his or her soul for the purpose of attaining immortality.

Thus as the witch or wizard is dark and bad, to defeat them you need to destroy all the horcruxes which are keeping them alive.

Who took the hocrox in Harry Potter Deathly Hallows?

Not quite sure what you are asking here but I will give it a go: If you mean who created the Horcruxes: Voldemort. Killing rips apart the soul which then latches on to the first magical thing it can find. If you mean what are the Horcruxes: The horcruxes are the items containing a part of one's soul. Voldemort's horcruxes were: his diary, his Grandfather's ring, Slytherin's locket, Hufflepuff's cup, Ravenclaw's Diadem, Nagini and Harry If you mean who destroyed the Horcruxes: Harry destroyed the diary and the diadem Dumbledore destroyed the ring Ron destroyed the locket Hermione destroyed the cup Neville destroyed Nagini Voldemort destroyed the Horcrux within Harry

What is a small summary of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

Harry and his friends (Ron and Hermione) set out to find the horcruxes. Snape is headmaster and Dumbledore is gone. The horcruxes have to be destroyed. But the horcruxes only take in what makes them stronger (like the sword of Godric Grindiffer). The horcroxes contain parts of Voldermets soul. There are two parts to the movie.


How was Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem destroyed by the Fiendfyre when Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes are only destroyed by taking in what makes it stronger which is basilisk venom?

Only the sword of Gryffindor takes in what makes it stronger, the Horcruxes don't do this. The sword was infused with basilisk venom, which made it strong enough to destroy the locket. Fiendfyre is also strong enough to destroy them.
