A Horcrux is a fictional magical object in the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling. The concept of a horcrux was first revealed in the sixth novel, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, although horcruxes are present in earlier novels without being identified as such. Rowling uses the character Horace Slughorn to introduce their properties. They are the main focus of the final book in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Horcrux is a "receptacle in which a Dark wizard has hidden a part of his soul for the purposes of attaining immortality."[1] With part of a wizard's soul thus stored, the wizard becomes immortal so long as the horcrux remains intact, typically hidden away in a safe location. If the wizard's body is destroyed, part of the soul remains preserved within the horcrux.[2] However, the destruction of the creator's body leaves the wizard or witch in a state of half-life, without corporeal form.[3] The dark magic involved in the creation of a horcrux is considered most despicable and is therefore rarely published, even in books devoted to the Dark Arts.
A horcrux can be made from any normal object, including living organisms. Destruction of the horcrux destroys the fragment of soul contained within it, ending its protection, and returning the creator to a state of normal mortality, unless of course, the creator has more horcruxes. This destruction requires the use of powerful magical means that damage the horcrux so it can't mend itself, like basilisk's venom or cursed fire. If a wizard has created more than one horcrux, he will remain immortal until they have all been destroyed. Without horcruxes, the wizard will die normally if mortally wounded. [4]
Lord Voldemort is the only wizard explicitly mentioned as having created a horcrux (though others are known to have done so), and is the only wizard known to have created more than one.[5]
Creating a horcrux requires one to commit a murder, which, as "the supreme act of evil, (...) rips the soul apart."[6] After the murder, a spell is cast to infuse part of the ripped soul into an object, which becomes the horcrux. The spell can be found in the book Secrets of the Darkest Art[7].
There is no apparent restriction on the nature of the items that can be made into a horcrux. Inanimate objects are usually used, but a living organism can also be made into a horcrux. There is also no known limit on the number of horcruxes a wizard can create. However, as the creator's soul is divided into progressively smaller portions, he loses more of his natural humanity and his soul becomes increasingly unstable.
Under very specific conditions, a horcrux can be made without the intention or knowledge of the creator. The only time this is known to have happened is when Voldemort unsuccessfully used the Killing Curse on one-year-old Harry Potter. Voldemort's body was destroyed by the attempted murder and a portion of his soul was embedded within Harry.
I think you want to know how the horcrux got into Harry Potter? when Voldemort killed Lilly, she was holding Harry, the moment he killed her, the horcrux infused itself into him-thus the scar..it's explained in the final book-that's why its said, neither can live without the other or something to that affect because in order to destroy the horcrux within harry he would have to die (be destroyed). that's what the whole elaborate deal was with dumbledore-why he set everything up like a deck of cards to fall in the right places to keep harry alive-and why he included snape (and used his love for lilly against him). Pretty genius if you ask me-JK deserves every billion dollar she has :)
There is no spell specified anywhere in the book. It is just said in the sixth book, that to make a horcrux you need to kill people. The more you kill the more eligible you become to make a horcrux it says. According to J.K. Rowling, Avada Kedavra is the most evil and darkest curse used to kill. So logically to make a horcrux you must use the spell Avada Kedavra and have utmost evil desire in mind to kill and a lot of hatred and darkness in your heart.
the spell was not mentioned.. the method wasnt mention either. there was merely a book the Hermione had about the dark arts and only she knew what to do to make a horcrux

The book never says...but the curse to make a Horcrux does have a contercurse...but that is said to be extremelly painful!
I always wondered how the procedure goes to making a horcruxe, but all it say is that you have to kill someone.
You'd better ask that from Tom Riddle or J.K.Rowling. Because unless I'm mistaken, that spell isn't in any Harry Potter books..
