I've always thought that when Voldemort made his first horcrux it held a larger chunk than those made after. The only reason I would say this is because when the horcrux is first described to us, it is illustrated by Slughorn as: "Well, you split your soul, you see, and hide part of it in an object outside the body." He didn't mention how large that fragment would be, so I always assumed that at first it would be half of his soul, then a quarter, and then an eighth of what once was. However what stops this theory is the fact that Nagini was the last horcrux made, and she would have only contained an extremely small portion of Voldemort's soul, and yet the snake is connected to him in a very intimate fashion. They can hear each other's thoughts, and Voldemort can even possess the snake, as he did Harry at one point. So perhaps it is the personal significance he gives on the horcrux, or else how much he allows himself at the current time to connect the two souls together-his and the fragment in the horcrux. The more intimate he gets with the horcrux, the more the two souls come closer together with power like two magnets attracted to each other.

I think the power of a Horcrux has a lot to do with the object chosen to become a Horcrux. Out of the seven Horcruxes, you could arguably say that the diary, Nagini, and Harry are the most powerful considering the extent of the damage Voldemort's soul causes through them. The one thing these three Horcruxes all have in common with one another is communication: they are all capable of instant communication with people (slightly less so for Nagini as she is limited to fellow Parselmouths) and they have extreme capacities for working with memories and the mind. The other Horcruxes don't seem to have these possibilities not because they are less powerful, but because a ring, a cup, a diadem, and a locket can't talk. Yes, the locket does communicate in some senses with Ron as it gets into his mind/emotions the way the diary does with Ginny, but we don't actually see it working to same level of invasion like the diary does until it is at it's most vulnerable position - about to be killed by Ron. The diary, however, is invasive and explosive from the get-go the minute Ginny starts putting herself into it.

To go on a bit further with this idea, we do see that the locket has the ability to greatly affect a person, just as much so as the diary does, when we see how much it changes the Trio in Book 7. However, look how long that took! It was a very long while before the locket had worked its way into Ron enough to make him actually leave the group, whereas the diary gives Harry instantaneous "answers" and memories the moment ink hits the page. I really feel communication and the type of object used is key to determining a Horcrux's power.

First off, I am not entirely certain that the diary was the first horcrux that Voldemort created. As Dumbledore points out, the diary concerned him because it was left about casually, which one wouldn't do with a one-and-only horcrux.

I believe that Voldemort's first horcrux was the ring. During his conversation with Slughorn, Tom is wearing the ring, indicating that he had already killed his father and grandparents. He wore the ring for a time until he created the horcrux. Then he hid it in the Gaunt shack.

Two things come into play here. First off, it doesn't seem as though the horcrux must be created right at the time of a murder. It seems that it can be put off. So, Voldemort did kill 3 people at the Riddle house. Perhaps one of those murders could've served for the diary, and not Moaning Myrtle, as is commonly thought.

I feel as though Voldemort created the diary after his conversation with Slughorn, and I think it may be different because he created it with the intention of using it as a weapon. Certainly, Lucius Malfoy knows how the diary can work. Even though he does not know it is a horcrux, he does know that it can be used to open the Chamber.

I think the diary was just like any other horcrux, with an equal amount of soul and emotion. We don’t really know the properties of the other horcruxs, but the locket almost possessed Ron. However the diary was unique because it was intended as a weapon, that’s why Riddle made it a muggle diary so innocent people would pick it up and open the chamber.

I think Harry's the most powerful horcrux that Voldemort created and the one to defeat him in the end.

I think that Riddle exuded more power through his diary than his other horcruxes because he was more aware of himself inside it. His other objects were merely stolen trophies. He poured all his twisted thoughts and feelings into a muggle diary (which is ironic considering that he used it to harm muggle-borns) and because of all the anxieties he felt about not knowing who is parents were at this point he felt more hatred and insecurity when making this horcrux than the other ones. In my opinion because of how significant he felt HIS thoughts were; superior to everyone else's, the diary would have reflected this by being really powerful.

On the question of the week, I feel that the diary is not that much powerful than the other Horcruxes, it simply worked with a more dramatic effect. The diary Riddle did not really do anything on its own, it simply had the Basilisk at its disposal. I think any other Horcrux could have created a similar persona if at all necessary. Diary Riddle only did this to get to Harry. In all other situations, Harry was already in his grasp.

I disagree with most of the commentary. I believe the soul is immaterial (which is also put forth by JKR in the discussion about a sword hurting the body but not the soul), thus there is no regard for how many times it is split, the soul still has no mass and the "strength" of each of the Horcruxes would be the same.

What is interesting is this mass-less entity can be ripped apart and damaged. Perhaps the more damaged and unstable it becomes, the less "strong" it can be considered. Perhaps a soul is essentially energy - and that its energy can be repaired and returned to its original state. Pure speculation on my part and would probably be taken to task by a few people versed in metaphysics.

I do submit, though, that the soul has no mass and therefore no one part is larger than the other.
