Horcrux Series

You are about to embark on an adventure of epic proportion. The fate of the world is in your hands. Lord Voldemort has made 7 Horcruxes that will enable him to live forever. Horcruxes are objects used by Voldemort to conceal parts of his soul and tether him to life. They can only be created after committing murder.

‘Well, you split your soul, you see, and hide part of it in an object outside the body. Then, even if one’s body is attacked or destroyed, one cannot die, for part of the soul remains earthbound and undamaged.”

Horace Slughorn

Your task is to find each horcrux, retrieve the clues and find Voldemort before it’s too late. Hidden in each horcrux cache, you will find a clue that will help you to find the final location to destroy Voldemort for good. Time is running out! HURRY!

​The Tom Riddle Diary

T. M. Riddle's Diary was a blank diary which Tom Riddle transformed into a Horcrux. When Tom Marvolo Riddle was in his fifth year at Hogwarts, he achieved his goal of locating Salazar Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets and used his ability to speak Parseltongue to open it. He further used this language ability to order the Chamber's Basilisk to terrorise the school and hunt down the Muggle-born students. Eventually one, a Ravenclaw girl named Myrtle Warren, was killed. This event took place in 1943. Riddle would later use this murder to infuse the journal with a piece of his soul, and transformed it into his first Horcrux.

Lucius Malfoy kept the diary in secret, before he slipped 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.
