Which of Lord Voldemort’s Horcruxes does Harry Potter destroy first?
Correct!
The first of Lord Voldemort’s Horcruxes destroyed by Harry Potter is Tom Riddle’s diary. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry discovers that part of Tom Riddle’s soul is hidden in the diary. Harry destroys it in the Chamber of Secrets with a Basilisk fang. At that point, however, he does not yet know that the diary is a Horcrux. Years later, Albus Dumbledore explains the significance of these magical objects to him.
The diary was Voldemort’s first Horcrux, and Harry destroyed it with a Basilisk fang. Basilisk venom is one of the few means capable of permanently destroying a Horcrux.
