    In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, by J.K. Rowling, a witch or wizard may use Dark Magic to divide their soul and hide it in other objects. The object then becomes a horcrux (plural: horcruxes). This must be done after an act of supreme evil e.g. murder. This grants them a form of immortality.

      A device created and used by the darkest of Dark witches and wizards, those seeking immortality. In a horcrux, one conceals part of the soul to prevent death. In order to do so, the soul must be torn into two pieces: one for the horcrux, and one that remains in the physical body. To create a horcrux, one must commit the supreme act of evil — murder, which rips the soul apart. They must then perform a special spell (the incantation of which has not been revealed) which will harness their soul, allowing them to place it into an object at will.
      The act of creating a horcrux is considered to be dangerously unnatural.

        The word Horcrux orginates in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince written by J.K Rowling. It means to rip the soul apart and place it in other objects for safe keeping.For this to happen the supreme act of evel must occur, murder. when he (Lord Voldemort) comitted his most import murders he performed the incatation which is unknown and split his soul with the power of each murder and placed those pieces of his soul in the six objects. he then hid the fragments of his soul around the world to make himself immortal, or as close as possible.

          A [horcrux] is an object in which one stores part of ones soul. When a witch or wizard murders someone they can use very dark magic and split their soul in two or maybe even more numbers and store part of their soul in an object which will allow them to be virtually immortal because while their physical body may be killed, their soul remains. In order to kill a person with a horcrux you must both kill the person and destroy their horcrux (or horcruxes) The [horcrux] can be a dark object, animal or possibly even person that has some meaning to the person who it belongs to (however they object does not necessarily need to have meaning to the person.)

            A bit of rare dark magic, in which one takes a bit of their soul and hides it in an object. The soul is split by committing the greatest evil there is- murder. Very dangerous, very tricky, best not to try it unless youre willing to end up looking like Voldemort.

              a type of dark magic where someone can pull apart their soul into any number of pieces and place the parts in any object such as a book or a ring. The key to ripping your soul into pieces in murder. A horcrux allows the maker to become immortal until all of the horcruxes are destroyed.

                The offspring of a ginger(no soul) and a normal human being(full soul), resulting in only having only a partial soul, a horcrux.
