A device created and used by the darkest of Dark witches and wizards, those seeking immortality. In a horcrux, one conceals part of the soul to prevent death. In order to do so, the soul must be torn into two pieces: one for the horcrux, and one that remains in the physical body. To create a horcrux, one must commit "the supreme act of evil" — murder, which "rips the soul apart." They must then perform a special spell (the incantation of which has not been revealed) which will harness their soul, allowing them to place it into an object at will.
The act of creating a horcrux is considered to be dangerously unnatural.

He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has several horcruxes that are hidden; and only when they are all located can the Dark Lord be defeated.

a type of dark magic where someone can pull apart their soul into any number of pieces and place the parts in any object such as a book or a ring. The key to ripping your soul into pieces in murder. A horcrux allows the maker to become immortal until all of the horcruxes are destroyed.
Lord Voldemort ripped his soul into 7 pieces to become immortal so Harry, Ron, and Hermione must find the horcruxes to kill Voldemort.

A horcrux is an object in which one stores part of one's soul. When a witch or wizard murders someone they can use very dark magic and split their soul in two or maybe even more numbers and store part of their soul in an object which will allow them to be virtually immortal because while their physical body may be killed, their soul remains. In order to kill a person with a horcrux you must both kill the person and destroy their horcrux (or horcruxes) The horcrux can be a dark object, animal or possibly even person that has some meaning to the person who it belongs to (however they object does not necessarily need to have meaning to the person.)
Harry Potter must find and destroy all of Voldemort's horcruxes. After Harry has done this he can kill Voldermort, the final and ultimate horcrux.
