The seven horcrux?

Question

I have an idea what the seventh horcrux might be, based on J.K. Rowling's habit of mentioning something apparently unimportant on passing that then turns out to be something very important. I'm curious to know other people's ideas. I will tell you what I think it might be when I choose best answer. Best answer doesn't necessarily have to name the object I'm thinking of. In fact, I am curious to see if it might be something else I haven't thought of.
The horcruxes we know about are:
1. OK, one is in Voldemort
2. The ring (destroyed)
3. The diary (destroyed)
4. The locket (at Grimauld Place)
5. Nagini, Voldie's snake
6. Hufflepuff's cup
7. ? - something belonging to one of the founders of Hogwarts

Please do not say Harry! Dumbledore says in HBP that it is risky to make a living being a horcrux, though he thinks Nagini is one. So it seems definitely unlikely that Voldemort would make Harry a horcrux!!

Wanna play?? :o)

Pablo, you are right. I didn't know that the theory was that Voldie made Harry a horcrux by mistake. However, I'm not convinced. I'm pretty sure Harry is NOT a horcrux, by mistake or otherwise.

OK, my theory is that it's the tiara that Harry used to mark where he left his Potions book. I believe that Voldemort used the excuse of petitioning for the job of DADA teacher, which he must surely have known Dumbledore would never give him, so he could plant his horcrux at Hogwarts. What better place than the Room of Requirement? I think the tiara belonged to Ravenclaw.

Answer 1

LOL This is one of our (as in my husband and me) favourite games!

We think it is Tom Riddle's cup for Special Services that Ron was spitting slugs all over back in Chamber of Secrets.

Waiting to see what your idea is! ; )

Answer 2

I don't believe that Harry is a horcrux, but I think you're missing the point of the Harry-is-a-horcurx believers' argument. Nobody's saying that Voldemort intentionally made Harry into a horcrux, as that would insanely dumb (as you said). Their argument is that Harry becoming a Horcrux was an unintentional side effect of the night Voldy tried to kill him. Although, no one really has a good explanation as to how that would have happened.

There is also a lot of doubt floating around as to whether Nagini is a horcrux, or just another red herring. After all, Dumbledore never really gives any solid reasoning for Nagini being a horcrux.

And as for what the item of the Ravenclaw's or Gryffindor's might be a horcrux, it's hard to speculate. Although it seems clear that it will be an object of Ravenclaw's rather than of Gryffindor's.
