Harry Potter’s Horcrux Plot Hole Was Hiding in Plain Sight the Whole Time

It’s common for Harry Potter fans to find inconsistencies in the story, but many of these can be explained by revisiting the books. Horcruxes were central to Voldemort’s attempt at immortality, and destroying them was the only way to defeat him. He created six Horcruxes – a diary, a locket, a cup, a diadem, a ring, and his snake – and some fans wonder why he didn’t make a seventh. Since Voldemort didn’t realize Harry was also a Horcrux, it seems logical he would have created another one. However, the fact that he didn’t isn’t actually a mistake in the story; it’s easily explained within the existing lore.
