    Go to school for aeronautics, become a rocket scientist. Get a job making rockets and satellites. When you finally get to work on a probe that is designed to not return, make it a horcrux just before it’s launched. Even if people eventually figure out what it is, they won’t be able to do anything about it until we have access to FTL travel.

        Huh, maybe.

        You don’t respawn from the horcrux, it just tethers your soul to the world, but maybe it could result in your soul getting drifted into space somehow?

        I don’t think that’s what Rowling intended, but I dare say she might have made a few logic errors in her children’s books.

          It could be the reason they were all relatively close to the UK. Proximity to the main alive version. Maybe they work as a big “triangulation” network.

        Yeah, I assume you’d have another one (or more) on earth that would be the “main” one(s). It’s like doing computer backups (keep them apart), but with more murder.
