| rdfs:comment | - Horcruxes were multiple souls found in the Harry Potter series. They were found when people (most commonly known, Lord Voldemort) would split their souls into pieces using magic and hide them in different objects. This way, they would live much longer. In order to kill the person, you would have to destroy all of the horcruxes first. You could not destroy them with a simple magic spell, they needed to be destroyed with something more powerful. Harry destroyed the horcruxes with the Sword of Gryffindor.
- 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. Creating one Horcrux gives one the ability to anchor one's own soul to the world of the living if the body was destroyed, giving them chance to re-created a new body. The more Horcruxes one created, the closer one was to true immortality. Creating multiple Horcruxes was suggested to be costly to the creator, by both diminishing their humanity and even physically disfiguring them to the point that they not only become eviler, but also turned into a humanoid abomination of their former selves.
