How many Horcruxes did Voldemort create (not counting Harry)?

6. Voldemort aimed to split his soul into seven parts—one in his body and six in objects—so he created six Horcruxes: Tom Riddle’s Diary, Marvolo Gaunt’s Ring, Salazar Slytherin’s Locket, Helga Hufflepuff’s Cup, Rowena Ravenclaw’s Diadem, and Nagini. Harry became a Horcrux by accident and isn’t counted here. Why it matters: Seven is a magically powerful number in the wizarding world, reflecting Voldemort’s obsession with control and immortality. To remember them, think “DR-LCDN”: Diary, Ring, Locket, Cup, Diadem, Nagini. Most were destroyed by basilisk venom or the Sword of Gryffindor (which absorbs basilisk venom), underscoring that only powerful, corrosive magic could undo his darkest protection.
