So what would be your Horcruxes?

I feel like it's been a while since one of these types of Harry Potter questions has been asked. Or maybe that's just because it's been somewhere close to ten thousand years since I last regularly prowled the halls and corridors of Books & Authors.

Anyway! I saw this post on Tumblr, http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mbe1pjTqAk1qzcv7... and I thought it was amusing, so I thought I'd ask about other people's clever ideas on what to turn into a Horcrux. We can just ignore the fact that you have to murder another human being and rip your soul apart in order to make a Horcrux. If it would make you feel more comfortable answering the question, you can just pretend that instead of killing people, you only have to write a ten page paper on why Twilight is the greatest work of fiction of all time in order for your soul to be ripped apart. Or maybe that's just as awful of a crime upon humanity... I don't know. You can insert whatever you wish instead of murdering people to create a Horcrux. I'm really only seeking witty answers about the object in which you'd store your soul, so what you have to do to contain your soul inside said object is pretty irrelevant.

Bonus Question: Would you recommend I start watching Doctor Who? And if you don't know about Doctor Who, are there any other insane fandoms that you'd recommend I be recruited to? It's been a while since anything has happened in the Harry Potter fandom, and I need some source of procrastination throughout my life, which fandoms happen to help me with fantastically.

Thank you for reading / answering! :)

    Doctor Who is awesome- also check out the BBC Sherlock!

    Lets see - for me what is more important than what they are is how they're hid.

    1. Turned into a rock, and placed in the foundation of a muggle building. No magic or anything protecting it (unless a small ward is necessary to hide the evilness) so it is not an obvious location that just needs to be destroyed.

    2. Turned into a different looking rock (no sense in giving hints if my enemies manage to find one) and buried in a forest somewhere.

    3. Turned into yet a different looking rock (aren't I creative) and dropped in some random part of the ocean, preferably somewhere inaccessible, but not something predictable like the Marinas Trench.

    4. Yet another pebble, this one taken to the Chamber of Secrets. In an unobvious location, would carve out a little bit of the floor, place pebble (which would be of the same stone as the floor) then cover with grime.

    4. A random silver spoon, which I would then donate to the thrift store along with an entire set of identical others. I would make sure to pay no attention to it and not follow up later as to who bought it. It would be hidden, and the location unknown even to me, in case I were watched/interrogated.

    5. One of the Crown Jewels, or some equally important Muggle object, thus gaurenting easy around the clock security.

    7. A wire, which I would the have permanently glued to the back of my teeth. (aka my permanent retainer)

    I would also set up several decoy locations, with lots of wards and enchantments in significant locations, with objects that most people would think of using for their horcuxes- jewellery, fancy box etc. These would have remote monitoring spells on them so I could see who was on to me.

    Tips on how to make horcruxes is to kill any one then say an incantation over the article you need the horcrux to be. The motive Voldemort simplest made seven used to be considering the fact that he concept seven was once a magical number, And if he made any longer it would have killed him. Ballot: Tonks is cool

    I'd make a rock into a horcrux and cast it off to sea so no one could find it. I'd make another out of a rock and send it into deep space.

    My horcruxes would probably be some of my favorite books. Doctor Who is amazing. I would definitely recommend Doctor Who.
