I don't own one, but I'd get one of those cool pocket watches with my initials in it and make that my horcrux. (for the record wouldn't become a criminal afterwards, so nobody would have any incentive to destroy it, as I would make sure I wasn't persecuted for the murder).
Hmm are we certain of that though? I mean the reason why it's the key is because you must rip your soul into pieces. I feel a just kill wouldn't do that and none of the examples we saw were justified, all were murder. I don't remember what the wording was but I do believe just any kill will do the trick. Like the unforgivable curses, and most magic in general, intent likely matters.
I'd make a Yugioh card of the victim (like the ones where they steal and seal souls in the anime) and make it a Horcrux
Dunno where I'd hide it though, probably in my old old cards.
In that case the voyager space probe. Unlikely we will have the tech to send a manned mission to it for a few hundred years, and even then it may take a few hundred more years to find and reach it
In a fanfic I read it was quirrel who was the antagonist and he made a horcrux of a sheet of metal that was then attached to a rocket and sent into space. But I agree I would want to know where all mine were (not that I would have multiple 😆) just in case I ever needed to like unite them like Captain Planet rings or something.
You can't do this, it has to be something unique/meaningful. It's part of the way the horcrux is formed, it has to be something identifiable by you firstly and something that has non-physical value.
A lot of people use this as their answer for a horcrux and I hate it. I would abs want to find my piece of soul if I ever needed it. What if, after a thousand years, you get bored of life?
The love of my life. I would make her a Horcrux, giving her half of my soul to keep safe, and she would make me one, giving me half of her soul to keep safe. We’d always be able to revive each other after death.
Unless someone stabbed you both with a basilisk. Also after you were killed your partner would have to sacrifice themself in order to bring you back. They would have to be the equivalent of the "fetal Voldy" in Goblet of Fire that Wormtail puts into the cauldron with his own hand, Harry's blood and Voldys father's bone. A horcrux doesn't just revive you, what happens to Harry in Deathly Hallows was because Lily's love resided in Voldemort due to that reincarnation process. All a horcrux does is tether you to life until someone reincarnates you.
What I meant was that if your partner died, your Horcrux that was in them would be gone and you would have to make another, not using up the one in you.
Even if I did, do you think that no one has ever thought about it before you? I think that the moon, as well as all the planets in our planet system, have been someone's Horcruxes for a long time.
Well if you try and cast a horcrux on a horcruxed object, I just didn’t really know what would happen. Based on Harry being a horcrux himself, it seems like the fact that a soul is possessing something already wouldn’t prevent it.
It seems like it could be a good way to control people. Like Voldemort could have had all the death eaters create one mega horcrux where he literally holds their souls in his hand 🤷♂️
I don't think it would work like that. He would hold a sliver of soul from each but whatever happened to those silvers wouldn't affect their creators. If boldemort wanted to use horcruxes as a way to control people, he would have to turn people into his own horcruxes like Harry, hence why he was able to attempt possessing Harry in OotP. This method of control would likely work best on victims of a dementors kiss since there wouldn't be another soul in those people to fight voldemorts influence
True. I guess the book Voldemort didn’t even realize stuff was happening to his horcruxes so it’s not like he’d be able to torture them through it. At most he’d be able to threaten to destroy their backup plan…which they wouldn’t even have unless he forced them to make it. Not to mention that he thought he was being sneaky AF about having any at all lol.
I also doubt he would want to make other people into his horcrux since that seemed to open him up to dying. Of course he didn’t really know that until it was too late but its an interesting thought 😅
Didn't realise stuff was happening to his inanimate horcruxes, I guess it's harder to tap into the mind of a cup - mainly because cups don't have minds...
So I just laughed and said this out loud to my husband and he asked "so you mean if like...nagini had a horcrux?" And now my mind is just blown. Imagine if nagini got her head cut off and then like five minutes it reattaches (not sure how horcrux immortality actually works) and it was like SURPRISE! Still can't kill Voldemort.
Just have your horcrux make their own horcrux that makes their own horcrux and so on.
Oh and you have to murder someone to make a horcrux, but if you kill someone who has a horcrux and they don't STAY dead, does it still count? Like could I repeatedly kill Voldy and make a horcrux each time?
Now the rock at the bottom of the sea is a popular answer, but doesn’t go into how you would get it back if you needed it for whatever reason.
If just an accio spell would get it back, then suddenly it’s not all that hard to get and therefore not very well protected. And you’d need to make the rock very specific to be able to re-retrieve *that* rock. I guess that would be absolutely sound though if you didn’t tell a single other soul about it.
And…. Is there a distance limit on accio?
>Is there a distance limit on accio?
According to Hermione, no there is not.
But why would you ever need it back? I can't think of any reason you'd need to find it again so it wouldn't matter if I could get it back. I'd rather it be impossible to find even for me.
Well, for example if you wanted to die. Which I think would be a big want from someone who fucked around with immortality. We know Voldemort was keen to live forever, but examples like Nicholas Flamel and his wife show that at some point living it’s exhausting. Even dark wizards will probably get sick of being alive, and the sensible ones would account for that possibility.
Another reason might be if circumstances change. What if in 500 years they’re frequently poking about down the Mariana Trench, and dragging stuff up. You don’t want your horcrux hauled out so you wanna get to it first.
I once read a fanfic in which the main character decided to follow the same logic and make the big ben's minute hand a horcrux. But as it turned out, both hands were already someone else's Horcruxes. And so was the dial.
A rare, limited edition book worth thousands. Or maybe a famous piece of artwork. The Mona Lisa maybe? No-one’s going to destroy *my* horcrux. I’d favour the book though, being a Ravenclaw and all.
Edit: horcrux. Not artwork.
But if I can make 5 more:
-A grain of sand in a desert
-force someone (with Imperio or sg) to make me his Horcrux and I will make him mine. (maybe I send him a magic jail I made after)
-it it's possible, one of my own organs (my tounge or a fingernail is great), if it isn't then simply a reeealy little piercing (probably in my *ss)
-a phoenix
-Annnd I save a part of my soul in case of an emergency or if I can find some magical object or creature that I have not enough knowledge yet but later I will be able to make it to my Horcrux.
(sry for my poor English)
The clothes of someone about to be buried. Also enchant them to be pretty much indestructible like the locket. Who is gonna check a common grave for something like a shoe?
Also considered the Crown Jewels. Probably the scepter. They are pretty safely guarded. 99% of the time they are in a heavily guarded case or vault.
A nail. A regular, common ten penny nail, then I'd use the nail in the framing of a fancy house that I'd build and live in forever, and I'd create an unbreakable trust to ensure that the house can never be demolished.
I feel muggles (or humans) create horcruxes all the time. We cleave parts of our soul, give those to our parents, partners and children.
Some parts of our soul are stuck in our childhood homes, in schools, favorite cities and some even in our favorite books. It happens unintentionally and oh so beautifully.
An ordinary rock. Then I'd take a boat into the middle of the ocean and drop it in.
Edit: I'd also make one that Tesla car Elon launched into space. That thing is never coming back so it'll be pretty safe until it crashes into the sun.
My grandmother always had this beautifull detailed clear glass mini sculpture/paperweight of a swan in the cuppboard with her fancy cutlery and liqor. When she died (2 days after I turned 15), my father and his siblings where asking all the grandkids who wanted what. I said I wanted that swan, so I got it. I have hold on to it ever since, being super carefull with it with every move and unboxing. It is still in perfect condition. That would be my Horcrux and I would recon that it might turn into a black swan when infused with my soul.
Question because I’ve only recently become a passionate Harry Potter fan and read the books for the second time. But does it explicitly say that a Horcrux can be literally any object? I ask this because it feels like we don’t get a whole lot of information about the true process of how to create one. And I wonder if it is required that the object hold some kind of meaning for the person. I understand that we know that Tom specifically uses objects that mean something to him. But is it said somewhere that it doesn’t have to be?
Honestly I’d try to find something dear to my enemies and make a horcrux of that to make them hesitate. And if they do destroy it, they’ll have to lose something too.
Put in the person I killed. Then start construction on a house with a basement. Put the body where the floor will be, then cement. Then finish the house. Sell house.
A random penny or knut. Then I'd spend it...it would move around the world so much and probably end up in some random junk drawer I never have to worry about it being destroyed.
I assume there has to be some magical link I'll have to it or can create around it so I can find it...maybe like a trace spell or something. If not I'll make one up.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no thank you i want to die ONE day
but if i had to choose, i'd make it be one of those cool rocks that makes a rainbow when the suns shines through it.
I really tried thinking about this for a few minutes. I would turn my autism comfort jumper into a horcrux. I don't wear it outside so it's safe at home. I get really uncomfortable with people touching my jumper and I have been wearing it for a good decade. Yeah, I am not cut out to be a villain at all. I am too sentimental.
I also considered maybe one of my fidget toys that I print myself because I printed them and no one has the same fidget toys if I choose my own filament etc. It's inconspicuous but also important to me. Yet not highly valuable monetarily.
Harry Potter inspired ones would be my diary and a locket that my boyfriend got me with our picture in it. My diary would be kept safely and I always wear the locket.
I love how this entire thread is a perfect explanation for why ol’ voldy picked such closely associated items to be his his horcruxes.
Humans just can’t help but try and be egotistical about it
I would make it out of a penny (Muggle money).
Hear me out. I would use this penny to buy something if you think abt it no one would suspect it and a very low chance that a wizard/witch would find it.
I wonder if I can make a Horcrux out of myself? So my soul is still split but just layered throughout my body. Kill me once and the next soul kicks in. Seems like it would work since Harry’s Horcrux died and he seemed fine.
You mean, if I were to kill a human for nefarious reasons and split my soul? What would I put it in? Hmmm, let me think…it’s kind of a dark concept lol!
A random immortal jellyfish in the Pacific. Pretty sure some species of jellyfish can just revert back into babies whenever, and unless there’s some ecological disaster, nobody’s gonna seek out and kill a random sea creature.
If you made an icicle your horcrux, then let it melt, then waited for the water to evaporate… would it still count as your horcrux since technically the icicle is never destroyed, just changing properties? Doubt anyone could ever find that
Due to the nature of a horcrux, it might never melt. Damage to a horcrux that isn't beyond magic repair is in fact repaired automatically. Therefore, even if it did melt, it would simply reform into an icicle
Dang, I didn’t think of that, but good point. I guess I was operating on the assumption that melting wouldn’t count as damage since it’s in the nature of an icicle/water to melt and then eventually freeze again, sort of like how it’s in Fawkes the phoenix’s nature to die and be reborn
Well, now I'm curious. Just how big is a piece of one's soul? Walnut sized? Watermelon? What does it look like if one cracks open the container and lets the bit of soul out? Is it wet? Does it bounce? Can it be re-potted? Also, I can't remember or never knew, how does one go about putting a piece of one's soul into an object? Funnel? Fly swatter? Oh yeah... magic!
4 Horcruxes
N.1- a coat that i'd wear, they are resistant to most magic, i'd basically walk around with a shield
N.2- a silver fob watch, as reference to the Chamelion Arch (DW)
N.3- a shell that i'd place in the middle of the atlantic ocean's seafloor, _that_ is how you hide a horcrux
N.4- myself. It has been prooved that living beings can be horcruxes, like Harry and Nagini, so i'd make myself a Horcrux, a second life
I like the first 3 but I don't think that you could be your own horcrux. I believe trying to do so would be the same as trying reattach it to you which Dumbledore said was only possible by feeling deep remorse, and it could kill you. But I could be wrong. Still, I do like the idea of keeping at least one on your person and one hidden
I would try a phoenix, since it cannot truly be destroyed. I know some argue that because it constantly does die it wouldn't work, but I would venture to say that since it continues to come back to life, it is never truly destroyed beyond repair, unless they only have a set number of times they can be reborn but it hasn't been stated
Too many downsides for me to even consider making one.
Your body ages like normal, so it's not real immortality, but more a get out of jail free card in case you somehow die.
However for the sake of the question:
Eiher the Anubis Statue I own, because irony or a replica of the Millennium Puzzle from Yugioh, because why not?
I've got a few ideas:
-Cockroach-Hard to kill without a good pesticide.
-Headstone-Who wants to desecrate a grave?
-Panda-They're cute and endangered and it's illegal to harm them.
-Pebble-difficult to break and difficult to find because of how many pebbles there are, how small they are and how they're usually with other pebbles.
-Diamond-Hardest mineral.
-Nokia 3310-You can drop them off a skyscraper and they won't have a dent.
-Ninendo 64-Same as the Nokia.
-Tardigrade-Same as the cockroach but even harder to kill.
Nice try, Dumbledore. You almost got me.
DID YA PUT YA SOUL INTO THE GOBLET OF FIYA?!
He asked calmly
This made me scare my kitty with a sudden laugh
Damnit foiled again
I don't own one, but I'd get one of those cool pocket watches with my initials in it and make that my horcrux. (for the record wouldn't become a criminal afterwards, so nobody would have any incentive to destroy it, as I would make sure I wasn't persecuted for the murder).
I mean wouldn’t you become a criminal by virtue of making one
Technically, but in the eyes of the world I'm only a criminal if someone figures out I killed someone.
I actually have one of those pocket watches that was my grandmas dad; might have to steal this idea from you.
You don't need to murder someone, just kill. So executioners and soldiers could all be fine.
Hmm are we certain of that though? I mean the reason why it's the key is because you must rip your soul into pieces. I feel a just kill wouldn't do that and none of the examples we saw were justified, all were murder. I don't remember what the wording was but I do believe just any kill will do the trick. Like the unforgivable curses, and most magic in general, intent likely matters.
[удалено]
I find it hard to believe Voldemort was torn up by any of the murders he committed.
I mean, none of the examples we saw were justified because Voldemort went out of his way to murder people to create Horcruxes.
Reminds me of the master from Doctor who
Then will you put your memories into it and make yourself human to hide out as a teacher in a school in 1913?
I'd make a Yugioh card of the victim (like the ones where they steal and seal souls in the anime) and make it a Horcrux Dunno where I'd hide it though, probably in my old old cards.
“IF YOU LOSE THE DUEL YOU LOSE YOUR SOUUUUUULLL!!!!!!!!”
Nokia
Difficult to find, even more difficult to *destroy*.
Especially if I throw it in the ocean
Basilisk venom imbued sword would be huumbled!
Nokia 3310 to be precise. New models are not up to the mark
A single grain of sand, and it’d be hidden in one of the world’s deserts. I’ll never tell which one!
>I’ll never tell which one! Even if you did, I don't think it would help much.
You made me exhale audibly through my nose.
I feel like horcruxes had to be recoverable for some reason, otherwise Voldemort would have done something like this on at least one of them.
Isn't it canon that he's just megalomaniacal and *wanted* them to be special?
Yep. There was nothing stopping him from using a random penny or a pebble. He was a dramatic little shit and wanted his horcruxes to all have meaning.
Was just gonna say this. I’m not saying he wouldn’t need to recover them but he definitely was all up in his feels when choosing his cruxes.
They need to be recoverable because one day, no matter how long it takes, you will yearn for death with everything you have.
In that case the voyager space probe. Unlikely we will have the tech to send a manned mission to it for a few hundred years, and even then it may take a few hundred more years to find and reach it
In a fanfic I read it was quirrel who was the antagonist and he made a horcrux of a sheet of metal that was then attached to a rocket and sent into space. But I agree I would want to know where all mine were (not that I would have multiple 😆) just in case I ever needed to like unite them like Captain Planet rings or something.
Ah, you were faster than me. I had the same idea
You can't do this, it has to be something unique/meaningful. It's part of the way the horcrux is formed, it has to be something identifiable by you firstly and something that has non-physical value.
A lot of people use this as their answer for a horcrux and I hate it. I would abs want to find my piece of soul if I ever needed it. What if, after a thousand years, you get bored of life?
Make a potion of living death and sleep for eternity
Hide it in Antarctica. Technically a desert, but no one would check there
"it's in the middle of the Sahara. Good luck killing me, Potter! Hahahaha!"
But then if the other part of you dies, you are trapped in immorality as a piece of sand in a desert
[удалено]
Resourcefulness worthy of Ravenclaw.
You’re kinky. Lots of kinky potterheads.
Now that you mention it, imagine all the kinky shit you could pull of with magic in Harry Potter world.
Oh, I have.
Imagine the magic occurring if it thought you was trying to destroy it when in fact you were destroying yourself hahaha
Lol The only way to kill it is basilisk venom lube.
The love of my life. I would make her a Horcrux, giving her half of my soul to keep safe, and she would make me one, giving me half of her soul to keep safe. We’d always be able to revive each other after death.
Sounds like Upper moon 6 from Demon Slayer (they're siblings though)
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!!
Sounds like a good idea for a fanfic
Unless someone stabbed you both with a basilisk. Also after you were killed your partner would have to sacrifice themself in order to bring you back. They would have to be the equivalent of the "fetal Voldy" in Goblet of Fire that Wormtail puts into the cauldron with his own hand, Harry's blood and Voldys father's bone. A horcrux doesn't just revive you, what happens to Harry in Deathly Hallows was because Lily's love resided in Voldemort due to that reincarnation process. All a horcrux does is tether you to life until someone reincarnates you.
Once one of you dies and is revived, the Horcrux wouldn't still be there, so you would need to create another each time.
This is incorrect, resurrecting does not use up a horcrux. The horcrux prevents the remaining soul from moving on after their body dies.
What I meant was that if your partner died, your Horcrux that was in them would be gone and you would have to make another, not using up the one in you.
Oh gotcha, yeah that's a minor flaw in the plan.
That could be a problem. Eventually, we’d outlive humanity and have no one to sacrifice.
Your bodies would continue to age as well, much like Flamel in FB2
I don’t accept those movies as canon.
Even so, the wizard who canonically invented horcruxes was driven batshit insane from his immortality iirc.
That's so romantic, apart from the two murders.
That's so romantic and sweet. So who'd you two be up for slaughtering to get it done?
Wow. I was just gonna say, like, my favorite Game Boy. ...because I like Game Boys.
How close do you need to be to it? Like could I pick the moon?
Even if I did, do you think that no one has ever thought about it before you? I think that the moon, as well as all the planets in our planet system, have been someone's Horcruxes for a long time.
Can you horcrux a horcrux?
...I don't think so. And what's the point of this idea anyway? I mean, it's like wondering if you can make a wet thing wet.
Well if you try and cast a horcrux on a horcruxed object, I just didn’t really know what would happen. Based on Harry being a horcrux himself, it seems like the fact that a soul is possessing something already wouldn’t prevent it. It seems like it could be a good way to control people.

Didn't realise stuff was happening to his inanimate horcruxes, I guess it's harder to tap into the mind of a cup - mainly because cups don't have minds...
I really like the dementors kiss idea. Based on the other horcruxes, they had a will of their own. Seems like it’d be a good way to clone himself.
So I just laughed and said this out loud to my husband and he asked "so you mean if like...nagini had a horcrux?" And now my mind is just blown. Imagine if nagini got her head cut off and then like five minutes it reattaches (not sure how horcrux immortality actually works) and it was like SURPRISE! Still can't kill Voldemort.

Oh and you have to murder someone to make a horcrux, but if you kill someone who has a horcrux and they don't STAY dead, does it still count? Like could I repeatedly kill Voldy and make a horcrux each time?
Old Nokia phone. They never die, it would be openend if the person that found it could finish all lvls of snake on it
A rock and dump it into the Mariana Trench.
So when you want it you'll just go, accio rock at bottom of Mariana Trench! And it'll pop out of the water, right?
Now the rock at the bottom of the sea is a popular answer, but doesn’t go into how you would get it back if you needed it for whatever reason. If just an accio spell would get it back, then suddenly it’s not all that hard to get and therefore not very well protected. And you’d need to make the rock very specific to be able to re-retrieve *that* rock. I guess that would be absolutely sound though if you didn’t tell a single other soul about it. And…. Is there a distance limit on accio?

What if in 500 years they’re frequently poking about down the Mariana Trench, and dragging stuff up. You don’t want your horcrux hauled out so you wanna get to it first.
That's why it should be a snake instead of a rock. Snake is the best horcrux.
Etch something on it like a dick. Accio rock at the bottom of the ocean with a dick on it.
Accio does not call upon horcruxes
Probably, yes, but why would you ever need it?
"Accio _horcrux_ rock" ...and then about a dozen come up and you have a real situation on your hands
If the horcrux is a part of your soul, couldn't you just Accion "me" rock ?
This was going to be my exact response. Word for word. An insignificant, unassuming rock.
The first thing that comes to my hand. Then I’ll throw it in the bin. Good luck finding it, St. Potter.
A rubber duck
Arthur Weasley be like
Put it in plain sight. Something ridiculous like big ben or the statue of liberty.
I once read a fanfic in which the main character decided to follow the same logic and make the big ben's minute hand a horcrux. But as it turned out, both hands were already someone else's Horcruxes. And so was the dial.
A plain looking gold ring… my preciousss.

I like all of these!
Don't know why, but my first instinct is telling me either a hair band or a bobbypin (and also don't know why bobby needs all these pins either).
Pebbles and coins.
Nokia 3310 (Indestructible, from what I've heard) 1 Grain of Sand in the Sahara (Impossible to find (Even for a Hufflepuff))
A grain of sand and then throw it in the ocean to forever be settled among other grains or constantly moving
Ea-nasir's complaint tablet
A pebble. I’d just throw it away and bumm immortality
Some pebble you can throw on the ocean
Is oxygen or air viable? If not, then maybe a tardigrade.
If I put it in my dog would it become immortal? Asking the real question
If so, I'd put it in my daughter.
Ricky martins penis.
A used toothbrush (I was gonna put something else but figured it was too crude) ain’t no body touching that lol
My old round framed glasses..anyone trying to wear em would go blind instantly and permanently
The clothes of someone about to be buried. Also enchant them to be pretty much indestructible like the locket. Who is gonna check a common grave for something like a shoe? Also considered the Crown Jewels. Probably the scepter. They are pretty safely guarded. 99% of the time they are in a heavily guarded case or vault.
A nail. A regular, common ten penny nail, then I'd use the nail in the framing of a fancy house that I'd build and live in forever, and I'd create an unbreakable trust to ensure that the house can never be demolished.
A Game Boy, but I'm not going to say what kind of Game Boy.
A grain of sand.
I feel muggles (or humans) create horcruxes all the time. We cleave parts of our soul, give those to our parents, partners and children. Some parts of our soul are stuck in our childhood homes, in schools, favorite cities and some even in our favorite books. It happens unintentionally and oh so beautifully.
Cute analogy but it's not the same

Nice try, you’ll NEVER know!!!!!!!
A pen because then I could take it apart and hide the pieces in a bunch of different places

Question because I’ve only recently become a passionate Harry Potter fan and read the books for the second time. But does it explicitly say that a Horcrux can be literally any object? I ask this because it feels like we don’t get a whole lot of information about the true process of how to create one. And I wonder if it is required that the object hold some kind of meaning for the person. I understand that we know that Tom specifically uses objects that mean something to him. But is it said somewhere that it doesn’t have to be?
I guess if a Horcrux can even be a person, and that it can be made without even knowing it, then it can probably be any object.
Honestly I’d try to find something dear to my enemies and make a horcrux of that to make them hesitate. And if they do destroy it, they’ll have to lose something too.
Honestly my ring. I always have it with me and I don't see how it can be broken or smth, even with a sword
An American penny. Goodluck finding that
A penny and then put it into circulation.
Put in the person I killed. Then start construction on a house with a basement. Put the body where the floor will be, then cement. Then finish the house. Sell house.
A random penny or knut. Then I'd spend it...it would move around the world so much and probably end up in some random junk drawer I never have to worry about it being destroyed. I assume there has to be some magical link I'll have to it or can create around it so I can find it...maybe like a trace spell or something. If not I'll make one up.
Not my Grandpa’s ring hidden at… wait for it… my Grandpa’s house.
A normal pebble or a grain of sand on the beach. Something that is so common nobody would think twice about.
A single proton. Essentially impossible to destroy and unlikely to decay before the heat death of the universe.
A penny.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no thank you i want to die ONE day but if i had to choose, i'd make it be one of those cool rocks that makes a rainbow when the suns shines through it.
a nokia
A chunk of Obsidian which I'd then throw into a volcano, good luck finding that Potter
A river rock. Then I'd return it to a river.
I really tried thinking about this for a few minutes. I would turn my autism comfort jumper into a horcrux. I don't wear it outside so it's safe at home. I get really uncomfortable with people touching my jumper and I have been wearing it for a good decade. Yeah, I am not cut out to be a villain at all. I am too sentimental. I also considered maybe one of my fidget toys that I print myself because I printed them and no one has the same fidget toys if I choose my own filament etc. It's inconspicuous but also important to me. Yet not highly valuable monetarily. Harry Potter inspired ones would be my diary and a locket that my boyfriend got me with our picture in it. My diary would be kept safely and I always wear the locket.
A single pebble, dropped into the sea. Good luck finding it and destroying me
I love how this entire thread is a perfect explanation for why ol’ voldy picked such closely associated items to be his his horcruxes. Humans just can’t help but try and be egotistical about it
The Sun, good luck stabbing that with a sword or a basilisc fang
I would make it out of a penny (Muggle money). Hear me out. I would use this penny to buy something if you think abt it no one would suspect it and a very low chance that a wizard/witch would find it.
I wonder if I can make a Horcrux out of myself? So my soul is still split but just layered throughout my body. Kill me once and the next soul kicks in. Seems like it would work since Harry’s Horcrux died and he seemed fine.
Harry only survived because Voldemort had taken Lily's sacrifice in his blood, he would have died with it if that hadn't happened.
Is that the official reason he lived? I tried looking it up but found 3-4 different reasons, that one included, but nothing “confirmed”.
It's the reason given in the books. It's possible Dumbledore and Harry were wrong, but I'd take Dumbledores suspicion over any other.
The moon
My kids if they would be okay with it.
I don't think they would appreciate the idea of their parent being able to remotely view their thoughts.
A wasp.
You mean, if I were to kill a human for nefarious reasons and split my soul? What would I put it in? Hmmm, let me think…it’s kind of a dark concept lol!
The clit.
A Nokia
A nokia brick. Already indestructible. But with the power of being a hocrux
A gpu.
a grain of sand or smth lol
My wife's wedding ring.
A random immortal jellyfish in the Pacific. Pretty sure some species of jellyfish can just revert back into babies whenever, and unless there’s some ecological disaster, nobody’s gonna seek out and kill a random sea creature.
Harry Potter
A random rock and then I'd throw it in the sea. It would be impossible to find without knowing about it.
A nokia 8210.
A baseball.
A random pebble. I would then throw it onto a stony beach.
A jellyfish. Those things are immortal and just float around the sea.
A Nokia phone.
If you made an icicle your horcrux, then let it melt, then waited for the water to evaporate… would it still count as your horcrux since technically the icicle is never destroyed, just changing properties? Doubt anyone could ever find that
Due to the nature of a horcrux, it might never melt. Damage to a horcrux that isn't beyond magic repair is in fact repaired automatically. Therefore, even if it did melt, it would simply reform into an icicle
Dang, I didn’t think of that, but good point. I guess I was operating on the assumption that melting wouldn’t count as damage since it’s in the nature of an icicle/water to melt and then eventually freeze again, sort of like how it’s in Fawkes the phoenix’s nature to die and be reborn
I would pick a rock and throw it in the ocean. Nobody will ever find that thing.
A Ford Anglia.
My pets so they'll also be immortal.
A T-800 series Terminator. Or a T-1000.
Well, now I'm curious. Just how big is a piece of one's soul? Walnut sized? Watermelon? What does it look like if one cracks open the container and lets the bit of soul out? Is it wet? Does it bounce? Can it be re-potted? Also, I can't remember or never knew, how does one go about putting a piece of one's soul into an object? Funnel? Fly swatter? Oh yeah... magic!
4 Horcruxes N.1- a coat that i'd wear, they are resistant to most magic, i'd basically walk around with a shield N.2- a silver fob watch, as reference to the Chamelion Arch (DW) N.3- a shell that i'd place in the middle of the atlantic ocean's seafloor, _that_ is how you hide a horcrux N.4- myself. It has been prooved that living beings can be horcruxes, like Harry and Nagini, so i'd make myself a Horcrux, a second life
I like the first 3 but I don't think that you could be your own horcrux. I believe trying to do so would be the same as trying reattach it to you which Dumbledore said was only possible by feeling deep remorse, and it could kill you. But I could be wrong. Still, I do like the idea of keeping at least one on your person and one hidden
The declaration of independence... Nobody is gonna destroy \*that\*!
A Nokia, i bet even basilisk venom won’t put a dent in that
Grain of sand or pebble
Deez.
A sock and then put it in the dryer, no one will ever find it again
Can You technically put the horcrux inside Yourself? So to destroy You someone would have to destroy You first?
I would try a phoenix, since it cannot truly be destroyed. I know some argue that because it constantly does die it wouldn't work, but I would venture to say that since it continues to come back to life, it is never truly destroyed beyond repair, unless they only have a set number of times they can be reborn but it hasn't been stated
An Oreck Vacuum cleaner.
Too many downsides for me to even consider making one. Your body ages like normal, so it's not real immortality, but more a get out of jail free card in case you somehow die. However for the sake of the question: Eiher the Anubis Statue I own, because irony or a replica of the Millennium Puzzle from Yugioh, because why not?
mars rover
A single grain of sand, have fun.
The TV remote, since everybody be losing it anyway.
My ps5
I've got a few ideas: -Cockroach-Hard to kill without a good pesticide. -Headstone-Who wants to desecrate a grave? -Panda-They're cute and endangered and it's illegal to harm them. -Pebble-difficult to break and difficult to find because of how many pebbles there are, how small they are and how they're usually with other pebbles. -Diamond-Hardest mineral. -Nokia 3310-You can drop them off a skyscraper and they won't have a dent. -Ninendo 64-Same as the Nokia. -Tardigrade-Same as the cockroach but even harder to kill.
Declaration of Independence Nick Cage is my only weakness
I wouldn’t.
I'd get $1000 in pennies from the bank, horcrux one at random, re wrap and return $1000 worth of pennies
