    Following Dumbledore's death, Voldemort has completed his ascension to power and gains control of the Ministry of Magic. Harry, Ron, and Hermione drop out of school so that they can find and destroy Voldemort's remaining three Horcruxes. They isolate themselves to ensure the safety of their family and friends. They do not have much knowledge about the remaining Horcruxes except the possibility that two of them are objects that belonged to Hogwarts founders Rowena Ravenclaw and Helga Hufflepuff, and that the third is Nagini, Voldemort's snake familiar. The locations of the two founders' objects are unknown, and Nagini is presumed to be with Voldemort himself. As they search for the Horcruxes, the trio learn details about Dumbledore's past, as well as Snape's true motives.

    The trio recovers the first of Voldemort's Horcruxes, Salazar Slytherin's locket, by infiltrating the Ministry of Magic. They recover the Sword of Godric Gryffindor; it is one of a few objects that can be used to destroy Horcruxes, and they use it to destroy the locket. In their travels the trio come across a strange symbol, which an eccentric wizard named Xenophilius Lovegood tells them represents the mythical Deathly Hallows. The Hallows are revealed to be three sacred objects: the Resurrection Stone, a stone with the power to bring others back to life; the Elder Wand, an unbeatable wand; and an infallible Invisibility Cloak. Harry learns that Voldemort is after the Elder Wand, but the trio decides that discovering Voldemort's Horcruxes is more important than procuring the wand for themselves. They break into Bellatrix Lestrange's vault at the Wizarding Bank Gringotts to recover another Horcrux, the cup of Helga Hufflepuff. Harry learns that another Horcrux is hidden in Hogwarts, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione enter the school. They find this Horcrux, the Diadem of Ravenclaw, and successfully destroy both.

    The book culminates in the Battle of Hogwarts. Harry, Ron, and Hermione, in conjunction with students and members of the wizarding world opposed to the rise of Voldemort, defend Hogwarts from Voldemort, his Death Eaters, and various magical creatures. Several major characters are killed in the first wave of the battle. Harry discovers that Voldemort inadvertently made Harry a Horcrux when he attacked him as a baby, and that he would have to die in order to destroy Voldemort. Harry surrenders himself to Voldemort, who attacks Harry with the Killing Curse, sending Harry to a sort of Limbo between life and death. There, Harry meets Dumbledore who explains that because Voldemort used Harry's blood to regain his full strength, Harry is protected from any harm that Voldemort could commit, meaning that the Horcrux inside of Harry is destroyed but that he can return to his body despite being hit by the Killing Curse. Harry then returns to his body, the battle resumes, and after the last remaining Horcrux destroyed, Harry is able to defeat Voldemort.

    Voldemort made harry into a horcrux so that he can continue his immortality. Dumbledore died, snape killed him, then Voldemort is going to kill snape to get control of the death stick aka Dumbledore's wand of power, but harry defeats him because the wand was not claimed properly. Oh and Snape is the Half blood prince because he's a half blood and his mother's last name is prince.

    haha you should read it to better understand it. it really sucks you in. but since you wont (totally missing out), it starts out when harry has to go into protection from voldemort until he's 17. Then he goes with ron and hermoine to go destroy the horcruxes that voldemort has made because if they do that, voldemort can die finally and be gone for good. A lot of people die (snape included: NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I almost cried. haha) and in the end voldy is dead! :D:D

    I think you're referring to when Harry received a fake horcrux from Regulus Black, Sirius' brother. Regulus had found out Voldemort's secret and was on a quest to destroy them but he died.

    *Spoiler*

    SNAPE KILLED DUMBLEDORE!

    Okay, kidding. But anyways, Harry became a horcrux when Voldemort tried to kill him because part of Voldemort's soul went into Harry instead of killing him, thus making Harry a horcrux.

    In the end, Harry used a ressurecting stone to revive himself after turning himself in to Voldemort, who killed him, releasing the piece of soul in Harry. Harry then revived and overpowered Voldemort.
