It depends on how many one wizard or witch has. for example, Lord Voldemort had six and a seventh one he never meant to make which was Harry Potter. to be able to have a horcrux that person will have to murder others which will cause their soul to split. like Lord Voldemort, he split his soul into seven pieces. in the harry potter films, one by one they were destroyed. if a horcrux gets destroyed that witch or wizard will feel pain or die if only spliting their souls once. but Lord Voldemort as known as Tom Marvolo Riddle, was obsessed with not dying even at an early age causing him to create so many.
Voldemort split his soul into eight parts - seven into his seven Horcruxes, and the last piece was the piece remaining in his physical body. His horcruxes were;Tom Riddle's diary,Rowena Revenclaw's Diadem,Helga Hufflepuff's Cup,Marvolo Gaunt's Ring (Voldemort's maternal grandfather's ring)Salazar Slytherin's locket,Nagini (Voldemort's snake)Harry Potter (Due to back firing of the killing curse)And Professor Quirrell was not a horcrux.
voldemort has a couple horcruxes in harry potter. when you kill a person your soul splits. when your soul splits you can hide that part of the soul in an object. voldemort had 7 horcruxes. when all the horcruxes are destroyed, voldemort dies. [hint, hint if you haven' t read the 7th book]
b/c harry's scar was a horcrux, meaning it conained a piece of voldemort's soul
They had to destroy seven horcruxes. Voldemort wanted to divide his soul into seven pieces; since he himself had one of the seven pieces, that would have required only six horcruxes. However, he accidentally created one more horcrux.
Voldemort would split his soul when he murdered someone. Murder would tear the soul, and he would store it in an object.
Voldemort split his soul into seven pieces and then hid them in things. That's what horcruxies are, Voldemort's souls.
Voldemort creates Horcroxes by splitting his sole apart. It is a very painfull process. Voldemort had made seven Horcroxes, which ment he split his soul into seven.
He has got a part of Voldemort's soul attached to his, because when Voldemort first tried to kill him his Avada Kadavracurse bounced back and Voldemort's soul was split (again) and went to the only living thing left in the home--Harry.
Lord Voldemort had split his soul so many times in an attempt to become immortal, that he no longer looked like a human. He resembled a snake because he had a strong connection with them, going as far as to possess their bodies when he didn't have one of his own and to turn his own snake, Nagini, into a Horcrux.
When Voldemort tried to kill Harry, Lily's sacrifice protected him. The killing curse rebounded on Voldemort and part of his soul split apart and latched unto the only living thing it could find - Harry.
Most dark wizards never make more than one Horcrux...MAYBE two. Voldemort made SIX (seven, including Harry). Murder rips the soul. That's how you make a Horcrux. You murder someone, which rips your soul in two, and you can store one piece in an object, where it will remain alive should your body die. Ripping the soul makes it unstable. Since Voldemort ripped his soul so many times, he made it VERY unstable. And on the night that the killing curse that was meant for Harry rebounded and hit Voldemort instead, a piece of Voldemort's soul flew out and fused or joined itself with Harry's soul. So, since Harry has a piece of Voldemort's soul in him, he is in fact a living Horcrux.
voldemort intended to split the soul in to 7 thinking, that makes him invicible. one part left in his body and 6 horcuxes -dairy,ring,locket,cup,tiara,snake nagini.

No, part of Voldemort's soul is inside Voldemort but it isn't a Horcrux because it was always there.
