Diary — while Tom Riddle was still travelling after leaving + Borgin and Burkes, and he considered dropping it into `Mariana + Trench`_ as the safest place to be. Safe it was, but the diary + was squashed by the weight of the water (15,750 psi, 1107.33 + kg/cm², 10 kilometres depth), a ton on each square centimetre + was just too much even for the magical protections on the + diary. + +2. Hufflepuff’s Cup — while still travelling he left it in the + middle of Sahara desert, specifically at Reggane_; which + unfortunately was the place of French Nuclear tests in 1960 + completely evaporating it. + +3. Marvolo Gaunt’s Ring — left in the Gaunt’s shack, which was + a miserable ruin with unknown owner (obviously Gaunts didn’t + bothered to register their ownership in the Muggle land + registry). So, when Muggles were building a highway pass, it + was silently eliminated (better to ask for forgiveness than + a permission). Hundred metric ton bulldozer_ was not impressed + by few slithering snakes and run through wards over the shack + without even noticing them. The ring in the box was later + found by a construction worker, who was immediately killed by + the curse. After even the emergency doctor, who was + investigating the incident, has been killed, the company + decided to cover up whole disaster, and threw the ring + (holding it in the protective cover) into a blast furnace, + which quickly overcame all Horcrux protections and it was + destroyed. + +4. Slytherin’s locket — he left it in the cave near the sea and + it was salvaged by Regulus Black. Kreacher was not clueless, + he asked for help His Mistress (a bit of elvish sophistry + … when she is dead, she is not member of the family any more, + so he could tell her whatever he needed) and found a book in + the Black Library, and after learning how to, he made trip to + Rockall_ and using Fiendfyre. + +5. Ravenclaw diadem — it was left in the Room of Hidden Things, + and later found by Winky, who was cleaning up all things left + in the castle by her now imprisoned young Master, Barty Crouch + Jr., when he was still nineteen, but excessively smart and + planning for DADA Mastery. While looking for some lost stuff + in the Room, she found excessively Dark magical object. She + knew that her young Master would like to preserve it, so she + travelled with it for him to Azkaban (wards didn’t stop the + elf’s apparition), but she was attacked there by Dementors. In + panic, she dropped the diadem, apparated away, and the horcrux + was immediately sucked dry by a Dementor savouring extra Dark + piece of soul. + +6. Harry’s piece of soul — Dumbledore was not idiot, even without + knowing what it was exactly, before Harry was deposited with + Dursleys, Dumbledore scraped out unknown piece of Dark Magic + matter in the Harry’s head, while it was still fresh and it + still didn’t take a root in his skull. It went out easily and + without support of anything living died on the pavement of + Privet Drive, Surrey. + +So, when Harry got to Hogwarts in September 1991, there were no +Horcruxes remaining and Harry had wonderful seven years of study, +where the most memorable events of his life were his Quidditch +victories and his first date with `${somegirl}`. + +.. _`Mariana Trench`: + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mariana_Trench + +.. _Reggane: + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggane + +.. _bulldozer: + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caterpillar_D11 + +.. _Rockall: + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockall |
