Horcruxes can only be created after committing murder, the supreme act of evil. The Horcrux is considered the most terrible evil magic. During the school year of 1943, Slughorn professor in Hogwards hosted a supper in his office including Voldemort. After the others were dismissed from Slughorn’s study, Voldemort remained and questioned Slughorn on the matter of Horcruxes, and whether it would make him more powerful if he were to create six, therefore having a seven part soul, as seven is the most magical number. Slughorn reluctantly agreed to give him an overview of Horcruxes, on the condition that everything they discussed remained between them. Using the information, Riddle later went on to create six Horcruxes, making himself Horcruxes Voldemort killed many. But the seventh one is Harry himself it is unknown to create him. To Harry finds all Horcruxes and destroyed. To safeguard the life of Voldemort, he killed many people. The love of his life, quest for power and dictatorship brings disaster.
