The 7 Harry Potter Horcruxes and Who Destroyed Each One

Voldemort split his soul into seven pieces and hid them in objects, in a snake and, without meaning to, in a boy. As long as one survived, he could not truly die.

Here are all seven, in the order they are destroyed in the saga. Each one has its own article with chapter references.

Tom Riddle's Diary

Destroyed by Harry · Chamber of Secrets

The first Horcrux — and the first destroyed. Lucius slipped it to Ginny Weasley, who began writing in it not knowing a memory of Voldemort lived inside.

Marvolo Gaunt's Ring

Destroyed by Dumbledore · A hidden shack

Set with the Resurrection Stone. Dumbledore destroyed it but was cursed in the process, setting in motion his own planned death.

Slytherin's Locket

Destroyed by Ron · Hidden in caves

Originally stolen by Regulus Black. Wearing it drove the trio to despair. Ron destroyed it with the Sword of Gryffindor.

Hufflepuff's Cup

Destroyed by Hermione · Gringotts Bank

Hidden in the Lestrange vault in Gringotts. Hermione destroyed it with a Basilisk fang in the Chamber of Secrets.

Ravenclaw's Diadem

Destroyed by Fiendfyre · Room of Requirement

Lost for centuries until Voldemort hid it in the Room of Requirement. Crabbe's uncontrollable Fiendfyre destroyed it — and Crabbe along with it.

Nagini

Destroyed by Neville · Battle of Hogwarts

The only living Horcrux. Neville Longbottom beheaded her with the Sword of Gryffindor — one of the story's most triumphant moments.

Harry Potter

Destroyed by Voldemort · Forbidden Forest

An accidental Horcrux. A fragment of Voldemort's soul lived inside Harry for seventeen years. Harry walked willingly to his death so Voldemort could destroy it.
