The diary was the first of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes to be destroyed, by Harry Potter in the Chamber of Secrets, who stabbed it with the fang of the very Basilisk that was used to commit murder in the first place.
Save this question. Show activity on this post. I just realized that the order in which the Horcruxes were destroyed was the same as in which they were created: the diary, the ring, the locket, the cup, the diadem, the snake, and Voldemort himself.
May 29, 1993: Harry Potter stabs a basilisk fang into Tom Riddle's diary inside the Chamber of Secrets—unknowingly destroying his first Horcrux.
Voldemort creates his fifth horcrux using Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem. The diadem gets destroyed unintentionally by a fiendfyre spell cast by Vincent Crabbe as he, along with two others, attacks Harry. As a baby, Harry Potter was in the room when Voldemort's Killing Curse backfired.
Throughout the books and movies, five out of the seven that he created had been destroyed. Harry Potter was an accidental horcrux.
The Dark Lord — aka Voldemort — created seven Horcruxes in an attempt to sustain immortality.
So when Ron said three, it wasn't a mistake. He meant there were three more horcruxes to destroy before being able to destroy the fourth and final piece which was in fact Voldemort himself.
7. Nagini the Snake. Nagini, Voldemort's pet snake, was one of the more surprising horcrux reveals, perhaps due to being an animal.
Harry quickly tells Neville that he must destroy Nagini, Voldemort's snake. Nagini is the last Horcrux that Voldemort created and the last one to be destroyed. During the final battle of Hogwarts, Neville pulls the sword of Godric Gryffindor from the Sorting Hat and beheads Nagini, destroying the last Horcrux.
Quirrell is, in effect, turned into a temporary Horcrux by Voldemort. He is greatly depleted by the physical strain of fighting the far stronger, evil soul inside him.
Voldemort intentionally made six Horcruxes, but when he used Avada Kedavra on Harry, he unintentionally created a seventh Horcrux. Instead of dying, Lily's love for Harry created a counter 'curse' known as Sacrificial Protection and saved Harry.
He finds out for sure immediately after Nagini's attack on Arthur Weasley. This night is significant in many ways. While Harry sleeps, he enters Nagini's mind.
The cup was destroyed by Hermione Granger, using a fang from the Basilisk's corpse.
In an interview, J.K. Rowling revealed that it was the murder of Bertha Jorkins that made Nagini a Horcrux. After Voldemort discovered his Horcruxes were in danger, Nagini was magically protected, described as being encased in a 'starry, translucent sphere'.
Voldemort wasn't aware of Harry being a pseudo-horcrux because he didn't plan it, and Harry didn't know either until Voldemort “killed” him, but he actually killed the piece of soul kept in him.
The Locket
Of all of Lord Voldemort's Horcruxes, Salazar Slytherin's old locket is the most difficult to obtain and destroy. In the Half Blood Prince, Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore travel to an old cave where the Dark Lord would torture victims during his time as a teenager.
Riddle ultimately changed his name, by way of an anagram, from "Tom Marvolo Riddle" to "I am Lord Voldemort", as a way of removing his own heritage and of exalting himself, and he killed the Riddle family, partly because they were Muggles, and partly because they abandoned him and his mother.
This theory suggests that each time he created a new Horcrux, that specific Horcrux diminished a part of his soul. Thus, his nose began to sink in, eventually disappearing altogether. Due to his tampering with dark magic, his human appearance evolved into a more snake-like state.
However, all of this was no match for Albus Dumbledore who was able to retrieve the Horcrux and destroy it with the Sword of Gryffindor. For his troubles, he discovered the ring to be cursed, which blackened his hand and left him with a death sentence placed upon him.
There were 8 horcruxes. 7 were made by Voldemort intentionally ( Nagini, goblet, diary, locket, ring, diadem and the part of his soul in Voldemort himself) and 1 was made accidentally which was Harry.
You've got to put it beyond magical repair.” Avada Kedavra is an extremely powerful curse. It causes damage beyond repair, and it can not be blocked. All matches the description of a horcrux destroyer.
It would also explain why Snape saved Harry's life in the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,45 and why he tried to save it again in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban:46 As long as Harry was alive and Snape was the only one who knew Harry was a Horcrux, Snape would have leverage over Voldemort if ever ...
William "Bill" Arthur Weasley is the eldest son of Arthur and Molly Weasley; he is two years older than Charlie, the second son. He is tall with long, red hair tied into a ponytail and a fang earring, both of which his mother disapproves of. At Hogwarts he was in Gryffindor House and Head Boy in his seventh year.
The hugely successful author tells Wonderland magazine she chose the red-haired Ron for Hermione for very personal reasons having little to do with literature. She told the magazine she “wrote the Hermione/Ron relationship as a form of wish fulfilment” and said the couple might eventually need relationship counselling.
She doesn't want to hug him for fear it will become immediately and plainly obvious to him and even Harry how she feels about Ron. She's conflicted about those feelings and is thus not ready to go public with them.
