| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Horcrux (魂器) |
| Occupation/Role | A vessel for a copied self that preserves its creator’s existence 119 188 719 |
| First Appearance | Anton identifies Fiennes’s Ghost Armor as a Horcrux 118 |
Nature and Function
- Soul vessel: Anton describes a Horcrux as carrying a copy of the core self—memories, emotions, will, and related aspects of identity—rather than merely a severed piece of the Soul Shell 118 119 361.
- Continuing existence: In Anton’s “cloud backup” analogy, the copy helps keep the original self and Soul Shell intact. He later concludes that it preserves the person’s trace in the River of Time, preventing death from becoming final 188 719.
- Resurrection is not automatic: A Horcrux does not itself build a new body. Dumbledore’s Horcrux describes resurrection as using its imprint in the River of Time to reshape one, at the cost of memories formed between the imprint and the resurrection 188 234.
- Not all Horcruxes can think: Anton distinguishes Horcruxes whose copied self is carried by a Soul Shell from those carried by a body. In his account, the latter arrangement can produce thought, explaining why Tom Riddle’s diary sought resurrection while other Horcruxes appeared lifeless 749.
Creation and Variants
| Method or variant | Result |
|---|---|
| Voldemort’s method | Copies the self into an object. Anton believes Voldemort did this without understanding the soul’s distinct layers 361. |
| Anton’s Soul Scalpel method | Copies and separates the self without relying on the power of death. Early attempts involved the Cruciatus Curse and, when necessary, the Killing Curse; Anton later learns to perform the procedure painlessly 119 858. |
| Anton’s information-exchange Horcrux | Adds a two-way information connection between its Memory Planet and Anton’s, unlike Voldemort’s Horcruxes 428. |
| Half-finished Horcrux | A severed Soul Fragment that cannot function as a full Horcrux. The Potter family nevertheless uses one made for Sirius Black as the basis for further research 701. |
Known Horcruxes
| Horcrux | Details |
|---|---|
| Fiennes’s Ghost Armor | Anton identifies the Old Wizard’s ghostly armor as a Horcrux; he later inscribes a Ghost Armor Rune Charm onto Fiennes’s Dark Gold Body 118 294. |
| Tom Riddle’s diary | One of Voldemort’s Horcruxes. Anton says its copied self and Soul Shell gave it the unusual capacity to seek resurrection independently 188 361. |
| Gaunt ring and Ravenclaw’s diadem | Examples Anton identifies as Horcruxes carried by Soul Shells 749. |
| Harry Potter | Voldemort’s Soul Fragment attached itself to Harry after the murder at Godric’s Hollow. It influences Harry’s magic and links him to other Horcruxes 290 875. |
| Dumbledore’s Horcrux | Created through Anton’s soul-manipulation work; Anton later examines its spell patterns and interacts with it 197 241. |
| Anton’s buried Horcrux | Kept beneath the Elephant-eating Vine at the New Hut, with a Resurrection Ritual prepared as a safeguard 701. |
| Anton’s Chameleon Windbird Horcrux | Created with the Soul Scalpel before Anton uses a Time-Turner 719. |
Limitations and Risks
- A resurrected wizard may lose memories acquired after the Horcrux’s imprint was made 234.
- Voldemort finds that Horcrux-based resurrection can leave the restored body and wizard bloodline mismatched, impairing the mind 777.
- A Horcrux can interfere with its bearer’s mind; Anton considers destroying one that is causing trouble in his own 166.
- Anton keeps his Soul Shell research out of Wizard is God because he fears that a widely understood method would lead to Horcruxes being made everywhere 749.
