Why did no one else make horcruxes?
A Horcrux was an object in which a Dark Wizard or Witch had hidden a fragment of his or her soul in order to become immortal. Horcruxes could only be created after committing murder, the supreme act of evil. The Horcrux was considered to be the most terrible of all dark magic.
How did Voldemort lose his body?
Originally Answered: Why did Voldemort die when he killed Lily? Lily sacrificed herself for Harry, which created a protective charm. The consequence was that when Voldemort next tried to kill Harry, the curse rebounded and destroyed his body.
Did the Death Eaters know about horcruxes?
Just one though, since it’s made clear 7 is unheard of. However, as its been said, if Lucius (arguably one of the smartest/most powerful of his Death Eaters) didn’t know about the diary, then none of them knew or had any idea as to what it would be.
Why could Voldemort not get another Horcrux?
Voldemort could not get another Horcrux because he did not know he had seven in the first place. When he tried to kill Harry, the spell rebounded and killed him instead. His soul became disembodied and jumped into the closest living thing in the room, Harry.
What happened when Voldemort tried to kill Harry?
When Voldemort tried to kill Harry after killing his parents, the spell backfired, breaking his soul apart and with one fragment seeking out the only other living thing in the room, attaching to it – and that being was young Harry.
Was Harry Potter the 6th or 7th Horcrux?
Harry was the 6th, but Volde didn’t know that. So after his remaining soul fragment went from body to body, in 1994 he was made a homunculus by Pettigrew (rudimentary body like a baby). After in that baby form, the same year, he found Nagini and made her a horcrux. He thought it was the 6th, when actually it was the 7th.
Did Voldemort create more than one soul at a time?
So it seems unlikely that Voldemort would create more than that, he was relying on that number providing additional magical support. To clarify, he made six* because he thought (and attempted to confirm with Slughorn) that seven pieces of soul would make the concept of immortality through Horcruxes even more powerful.
