In the wizarding world of Harry Potter, Horcruxes are objects in which dark wizards can hide a fragment of their soul to achieve a form of immortality. Lord Voldemort, the primary antagonist in the series, creates a total of seven Horcruxes to safeguard his existence. These objects include a diary, a locket, a cup, a diadem, a snake named Nagini, and, unintentionally, Harry Potter himself. Each Horcrux requires a heinous act to split the soul, making the process deeply malevolent. The Horcruxes serve as both a narrative device and a central plot element, compelling Harry and his friends to embark on a dangerous quest to destroy these objects and ultimately defeat Voldemort. The concept of Horcruxes adds a layer of complexity to the magical universe created by J.K. Rowling, exploring the dark depths of dark magic and the consequences of seeking immortality at any cost.
