Voldemort's Horcruxes RANKED (Worst to Best) - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’re going to be discussing Voldemort and his horcruxes. A known proponent of dark magic, Tom Riddle was a troubled young boy who began experimenting with the dark arts at an extremely young age. As he grew older and older, Tom Riddle, who had been born with an inability to feel certain emotions- grew hungry for power- fuelled by the spite that he felt towards his parentage and a world that he felt ‘rejected’ him right from the start. Dumbledore first encounters Riddle at Wool’s orphanage in 1938, and it’s on this visit that Dumbledore informs Riddle of his magical background. Riddle knew he was different, but he didn’t know WHAT he was- he had no sense of identity, however, that certainly didn’t stop him from tormenting all of the other orphans. As the years passed, Riddle underwent a lot of change- first he got in to darker and darker forms of magic- and later he decided to get rid of his ‘filthy’ muggle name- from that point onward going by a name that would strike fear in to the hearts of wizardkind- Voldemort.

Today’s video is going to look at one particular piece of dark magic that Voldemort produced in his lifetime- the horcrux ‘wickedest of magical inventions’. While studying at Hogwarts, Tom Riddle befriended Horace Slughorn, his (then) potions professor. Slughorn had a reputation for choosing favourites- and Tom, who demonstrated an unparalleled ability to learn and uncanny ability to perform magic, became one of these favourites. However, it was this relationship that lead to Slughorn revealing pivotal information about Horcruxes to Riddle.

A horcrux is an object in which a dark witch or wizard has imbued part of their soul. The ultimate purpose of creating a horcrux is to achieve immortality. However, the truly sinister component of creating a horcrux is that in order to produce one, you must MURDER someone. There are only two known wizards who have created a Horcrux, the first being Herpo the Foul and the second being Voldemort, who produced many. In fact, Voldemort ended up creating 7.

Anyway, without further ado, let’s dive in to Voldemort’s horcruxes, where I’ll be ranking them from LEAST to MOST effective (at least in my opinion). Bear in mind this list will NOT be in order of creation.
