Geocache Description:

A Horcrux is a powerful object in which a Dark wizard or witch has hidden a fragment of his or her soul for the purpose of attaining immortality. Creating a Horcrux gives that person the ability to resurrect him/herself if their body is destroyed; the more horcruxes a person creates, the closer they are to true immortality. Creating multiple Horcruxes can be very to be costly to the creator, by both diminishing their humanity and even physically disfiguring them.

Lord Voldemort (Tom Marvolo Riddle) created seven horcruxes.


Tom Riddle's diary was a blank diary which Tom Riddle transformed into a Horcrux. This event took place in 1943, during Riddle's fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it was the first Horcrux he ever made. Before Lord Voldemort's first defeat in 1981, the diary was passed to Death Eater Lucius Malfoy, who kept the diary, in secret, before slipping it into Ginny Weasley's cauldron of school supplies at Flourish and Blotts in 1992. The diary used its magical influence to possess and force Ginny to re-open the Chamber of Secrets, but it was destroyed by Harry Potter in 1993 with a basilisk's fang.
