How does one split their soul?

Firstly, the soul must be split into two, where one part remains in the human body while the other is destined for the Horcrux. This splitting is accomplished by the “supreme act of evil,” murder, which “rips the soul apart.”

What happens when you die with a Horcrux?

When your body is killed, a Horcrux prevents your soul from passing on, as some of it remains alive and untouched, keeping the rest of it from passing on. Your soul instead becomes disembodied, and you travel around like Voldemort did, before Pettigrew found him and made him a rudimentary body for his soul to occupy.

How does the Horcrux work in Harry Potter?

In general, for a person to die and their spirit to move on, it must ALL move on; the Horcrux functions by holding a portion of their soul in a safe, earthbound container. Until it is destroyed (destroying or freeing the soul) the person who created it cannot die in a permanent sense.

What happens to the soul when the horcruxes are destroyed?

If the pieces of soul inside the Horcruxes have all been destroyed (pieces of soul inside Horcruxes can actually perish opposed to pieces of soul inside the body), then the last piece of the soul will be forever trapped in limbo. This is depicted as a mutilated baby, powerless to move and destined to suffer for eternity.

Was Harry a Horcrux of Voldemort?
