Water.
Not a specific vial of water or a pond or something. WATER. All of it.
Destroy that 🖕
Nice try Auror but you’ll never catch me!
The elephant’s foot. Worse than any kind of curse, I cast radiation sickness upon you. Good luck finding a spell to counter that.
Pretty sure most people forget that a horcrux must be hard to find and destroy but not so hard that your people can still find them, reach them and restore your life.
So store an object nobody can find without a map. Encrypt the map asychonously and share it via secret sharing with a group of trusted people. Now your horcrux has horcruxes.
You need people to bring you back? Yeah naw, fuck that I’ll make a phylactery instead.
A speed limit sign or a mile marker sign. Hiding in plain sight.
Hopefully horcrux can’t be damaged by bullets…
That one manhole cover that got ejected from earth’s atmosphere
I think it’s cheating if you don’t have physical access to it otherwise you could just make it one of the voyager probes.
bitch nobody knows what that is
A mini solar powered satellite that i can shot into orbit, and a plastic dinosaur toy that which i just dump into a trashbin where it will be buried in landfill.
How do your followers access the satellite to bring you back?
Technically the potion doesn’t require a horcrux, it only need my father’s bone, my servant’s flesh, and my enemy’s blood. Horcrux is there so i won’t die.
- a used condom on a sandy New York beach
- the single pickle in the jar at the back of the refrigerator, alternatively the single broken carrot in the bottom of the crisper
- chewed up gum on the bottom of a desk
- a single pink shoe, size 4, in the middle of the woods
- a used dildo stuck in a gutter grate
- the McDonald’s French fry(or penny) you dropped under your car seat that one time
I think that covers most of them.
A Nokia 3310
That seems… overpowered.
I would make irreplaceable objects like the Mona Lisa or Kurt Cobain’s acoustic guitar into my Horcruxes.
I would make it so that the cultural loss of what it takes to kill me would be far greater than anything I could ever do.
Good idea, but you’re still using small objects which can be destroyed by someone desperate (or a clever enough wizard). You want something large and physically resilient - the kind of thing that would be both hard to vanish, and is going to take something like a bomb to get rid of.
Make it something huge. One of the Pyramids of Giza. The Papal Palace. The Tower of London.

A single helium attom?
Hydrogen?
Helium is a noble gas, I guess they don’t want to risk it breaking if it bonds with something else, slut that hydrogen is?
Ah, but your horcrux isn’t a water molecule to be split it’s the hydrogen atom itself so if it bonds and you split the bond the horcrux is still intact.
Like if the diary were put into a bookshelf it wasn’t destroyed by removing it from the shelf.
You can split a helium atom into two hydrogen, but good luck splitting a hydrogen atom.
Argon would be better, as it won’t leave Earth and float off into space never to be seen again.
When it comes to a horcrux that would be the most ideal no?
A grain of sand, dump it in the ocean
But then your loyal servants won’t be able to find it either to bring you back.
I was unaware that they needed to physically be retrieved in order to be resurrected.
I always thought of them as a sort of anchor, preventing a soul from passing. Being bound to earth. The horcrux’s physical form or location being unimportant.
I was thinking the same thing, except a rock. I frequently visit ships as part of my job, and it would be no problem dumping it somewhere it would be likely to remain undisturbed for the rest of eternity. A grain if sand is likely to move with the currents. A rock will not.
It’ll eventually be subducted, I think getting it into deep space is more likely to be long-term secure.
A screw thats about to be fired into space and ejected off into the infinite great beyond.
Can’t do shit about my horcrux if it’s floating out past nebula 12.
There’s a fan fiction where Voldemort (probably) horcruxified the Pioneer 11 plaque.
That kind of thing was going to be my answer to this question also.
The main downside I can think of, is a Horcrux similar to a Lich Phylactery in that you have to reform adjacent to it?
Incredible. I love it.
Obligatory Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.
My favorite fanfiction that spawned a doomsday cult of “rationalists.”
