  Rowling has never revealed how Horcruxes are created, which has led to a lot of discussion among fans about how the evil objects are brought into the world. One of the strangest but also most well-supported theories on the creation of Horcruxes is that they are actually made via cannibalism. It fits with everything that we know for sure about Horcruxes: creating them is one of the darkest acts of magic, and the process involves murder, a spell, and some other action that is horrifying enough to bring nausea to Slughorn, Hermione, and even Rowling's editor. posits that this horrifying act could be cannibalism, one of the darkest acts that are frequently connected with gaining strength and power from the dead, with Voldemort eating his victims after he or one of his agents kills them. This theory, obviously, doesn't apply to Harry Potter, who Rowling has stated isn't a true Horcrux since Voldemort did not complete the proper ritual to make him one.
