Horcruxes

In Harry Potter, a Horcrux is the name given to an object containing part of a wizard's soul hidden by himself to gain immortality. This article concerns the Horcruxes used to sustain the life of the franchise's main antagonist Lord Voldemort.

History
In the Harry Potter series, a Horcrux is created by placing a piece of a wizard's spirit into an object, but in order to split the soul, a wizard must commit the act of murder as killing someone rips the soul apart. The rest of the Horcrux creation process is unknown, other than having a spell involved. Seven were made by Lord Voldemort to keep himself immortal; six that he created intentionally using objects that he considered valuable and one that he accidentally created, which was Harry Potter himself, when Voldemort tried to kill him as a baby.

Powers and Abilities
Harry has the abilities of a common wizard, he also shares Voldemort's power to speak to snakes and has a mind connection with him. Nagini has a great resistance to spells (as shown in her fight against Harry and Hermione, and then with Ron and Hermione), a very powerful and corrosive poison (which is shown in the fifth book in Arthur Weasley's wound made by her) and also a uncommon intelligence level. Being only objects, the other Horcruxes show the ability to project illusions and invade weak minds, in some cases, controlling or disabling them as an act of defense.

If they stay in emotional contact with a person, Horcruxes can also drain such person's life force using them to revive the Horcrux's owner. If Harry didn't destroy Tom Riddle's Diary, the Horcrux would have drain Ginny Weasley of her life force, allowing Voldemort to return. According to J.K. Rowling, not only would Voldemort return, but he would have come back even stronger.

In the series, the Fiendfyre destroys Ravenclaw's Diadem. - Avada Kedavra is the most powerful of the three forbidden curses, and can cause instant death to someone in which its cast. Since the Horcrux is nothing more than a part of a soul, it is vulnerable to Avada Kedavra. In the series, the Death Curse is cast on Harry, destroying the Horcrux within him and giving him the option to return after his death, since he had more than one soul. a witch or wizard who created the Horcrux feels true remorse for his or her actions. However, the process is considered quite painful and it's stated that the witch or wizard could die from it. Since Lord Voldemort has never showed any remorse for his actions, none of his Horcruxes were destroyed by this.
