Question on Harry Potter, Voldermort, Horcruxes...?

Here we go..lol

Tom was in his final year when he was 17; it mentions in Book 6 when Harry and Dumbledore visit the Gaunts (in the memory) that Tom revenged against his father's family and also murdered Morfin. One of those murders I believe went towards the horcrux; I think Morfin was his first murder.

He also asked Horace Slughorn how many you could make in his final year, not how to make them. Dumbledore says in book 6 that he believes Tom had already known how to make them but wanted to know what would happen if he made 7. I just read book 6 again that's how I remember so clearly lol.

Hope that helps! =]

EDIT: The basilisk killed Moaning Myrtle, as she says before she died she saw yellow eyes. And he was in his seventh year at 17 by the way.

I've noticed a few slipups from rowling, ie not explaining things in earlier books and then making it up later in another book

i dont think for the puprpose of the diary he killed anyone in particular, but just killed a part of his mortal soul when he created the horcrux diary.. i think that one in particular was just to make the story work whereas the other ones were deliberate

it's been a while since i read that one (read the whole series twice over)

To create a horcrux you dont need to kill anyone, the only reason he killed people to get items was because the only way to posses the more expensive and rare items were to kill the owners. he was already experimenting with horcruxes while in hogwarts, he was kicked out of the school by dumbledore i believe, since dumbledore knew that tom was up to something, and it wasnt really hagrid who killed all those ppl with the giant spider.

Yeah, he was killing that young. It was mentioned in one of the books how he allegedly tortured two other children at the muggle orphanage when he was on a trip to Godric's Hollow, and he hanged a pet rabbit. :(

Maybe it was the rabbit? Although it was the teenage Voldemort that made the diary...hmm.

Just a guess. I don't know either.

Just finished the series for the first time.

(: I love it.

Voldemort does not understand. he's attempting to kill Harry through Prophecy, which states: "the single with the means to triumph over the darkish Lord techniques ... born to those that have three times defied him, born through fact the seventh month dies ... and the darkish Lord will mark him as his equivalent, yet he will have means the darkish Lord is acquainted with not ... and the two might desire to die on the hand of the different for neither can stay collectively as the different survives ... the single with the means to triumph over the darkish Lord would be born through fact the seventh month dies ..." And he can not sense while a horcrux is destroyed.

I'm not sure but I think he killed Moaning Myrtle to create that Horcrux. Also, he did made it in his sixth year which, you're right, doesn't make sense.
