Did Dumbledore become a Horcrux?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Albus Dumbledore was fatally wounded by a curse that had been placed on the Peverell ring in Harry Potter, and it's possible that this particular Horcrux was carrying more secrets. The standard purpose of Voldemort's Horcruxes was to tether his soul to the world of the living in case his body was destroyed.
Voldemort was highly methodical in Harry Potter with his Horcruxes, their hiding places, and protections. Since the curse he placed on the Peverell ring would do nothing to keep the Horcrux from being destroyed, it must have had a different purpose. Given what we know about Horcruxes, like Tom Riddle's diary, which Voldemort had explicitly intended to possess the person that found it, it could be that the curse of the Peverell ring was a more aggressive version of the same goal.
"'But don’t you see, Harry, that if he intended the diary to be passed to, or planted on, some future Hogwarts student, he was being remarkably blase about that precious fragment of his soul concealed within it. The point of a Horcrux is, as Professor Slughorn explained, to keep part of the self hidden and safe, not to fling it into somebody else’s path and run the risk that they might destroy it — as indeed happened: That particular fragment of soul is no more; you saw to that.
