1. Become an extremely powerful witch hoặc wizard. This will take years of study and sacrifice which lie beyond the scope of a WikiHow article. As a general guide bạn should not attempt to create a horcrux until bạn can cast non-verbal killing curses.
2. Locate an object of extreme significance to you. An emotional attachment to the object will aid the process and make it easier on your body and soul.
3. Bathe in the Water of Sorrows and eat 1 cup of paste made from the Herb of Undeath no sooner than 12 hours before committing the principal act of the ritual.
4. Cast the preliminary incantation in the presence of your object. Bring your wand from hanging medial at your side to in front of your tim, trái tim at approximately 45 degrees from your waist. At this point bạn should flick the wand in a circular fashion 146 degrees and then whip it outwards to the full extension of your limb. During this last movement issue the following command: "Voces fallacis amicae"
5. Perform an act of unspeakable evil while carrying the object bạn wish to turn into a horcrux. Murder is dirty but very effective in this regard.
6. Within 15 phút of performing the act, clutch the object bạn wish to turn into a horcrux with both hands and yell the following incantation: "Diabolus fecit, ut id facerem!"
7. bạn will lose consciousness. This is a normal part of the process. When bạn have awoken the object in your hands will be a horcrux. bạn will feel very different (some have described the feeling as if bạn are "half empty") and will have an almost motherly affection to the object.
8. Cast protective spells on and around the horcrux, and do not tell anyone of its existence. bạn must eliminate anyone that finds out.
Tips
Although bạn should choose objects which are significant to you, be careful not to choose objects that can be linked to bạn with relative ease. This will generally send hordes of jealous followers hoặc irritating enemies out to destroy your horcrux, leaving bạn half a soul closer to death.
Don't ask your potions master about the creation of horcruxes, as it may undo all of your plans at a later ngày when he feels sympathy for a boy whose parents bạn killed a decade earlier. It is easier to figure out the general process through this wikiHow article, through sách in your school thư viện (please remember to wear an Invisibility áo choàng while browsing to avoid attracting attention), hoặc ask general Lời khuyên from the Dark Lord himself (avoid seeming too curious, hoặc he may see bạn as a threat and set out to destroy your horcruxes).
Don't make your horcrux your pet snake. Remember, driving somone's parents to insanity MAY make them want to destroy you.
Warnings
Do not attempt to chẻ, phân chia, split your soul into seven pieces. It sounds very fashionable but will turn bạn into a psychopathic maniac, assuming bạn are not one already. (Note: If bạn are a psychopathic maniac, it may be simpler to avoid the process all together, as it will simply cause bạn to appear thêm unhinged and cause man to avoid you).
When a teenage wizard comes to challenge bạn without a weapon in the midst of an epic battle, DO NOT attempt to kill him with the same curse which has already backfired on three trước đó occasions. He probably knows something that bạn don't.
Don't even bother trying to find the Deathly Hallows. Honestly, just don't.
While a teenage wizard is attempting to make an epic fight-to-the-death speech, realize that bạn do not need to listen to him. It would be much simpler to just perform the Avada Kedavra (Killing) Curse on the spot (or at least use the Cruciatus Curse.)But also remember warning #2 just in case
Do not leave behind any memories people may have that your old professor could use to figure out your plan and annihilate your horcruxes
