Although I am tired of hearing anything about them, let's debate. What, or who, are the horcruxes really?

There are supposedly 6 Horcruxes, and including Voldy himself, makes 7 peices of soul.

The known ones are:
1. Gaunt's ring
2. Tom Riddle's Diary

Theorized ones by the book are:
3. Salazar Slytherin's Locket
4. Helga Hufflepuff's cup
5. Nagini (Voldy's snake)

So, we have left one remaining Horcrux.
Dumbledore thinks it is either something of Gryffindor's or Ravenclaw's.

Some of you think it is Harry, or even Harry's scar.

JKR said it is Not the sorting hat.

So what is it?




Personally, I think it is the wand in book 1 that was sitting in the window of Ollivander's.
Quote:
the window displays a faded purple cushion upon which sits a single wand.


Or possibly, Voldemort takes the trophy thing literally. Hogwarts has a pretty impressive trophy room, and he has won one himself. Perhaps he made that into a horcrux?

But, debate.

There are about a million things that i think could be the horcrux...

I've heard other people say they think the last horcrux might be ravenclaw's wand.... maybe thats the wand in the window your talking about!!

Fact is, I have been REALLY torn about the whole harry being a horcrux thing.....

Here are my reasonings ...

It is VERY possible that harry is the horcrux. Dumbledore himself in the beginning of book one said that he wouldnt get rid of harrys scar even if he could because some scars come in handy. It has also been said that voldemort saved making horcruxes for particularly horrible bits of magic, and maybe he became so used to it that he accidentally made harry a horcrux when he killed his parents. It has also been said earlier in the series (ootp i believe) that prior to harry's visions, voldemort might not have known about the connections between him and harry.... and maybe all harry's voldy-like qualities were due to the bit of his soul inside him.

I also think that if voldemort didnt know that harry was a horcrux, then maybe its possible harry was the EIGHT horcrux. Created by pure accident. And this 8th splitting of the soul is possibly what reduced voldemort into the whispy creature that attached itself to the back of quirrell's head!

I dont want harry to be a horcrux because then, harry will have to die before voldemort can be defeated. I don't like this, because then it makes the prophecy untrue. The prophecy said that "one must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives" which is clear, one must die... not both...

UNLESS!!! There is a way to destory a horcrux without destorying the object containing it.... The ring is cracked, but still a ring. The diary has been punctured, but its still a book. If my horcrux theory is at all true... and i almost dont want it to be that obvious myself... Possibly all the buildup of harry's patronus and the dementors being his greatest fear are not trivial. Maybe, the dementors - doing voldemorts bidding - will go after harry, and end up sucking VOLDEMORTS soul out of harry!

....Not that i've thought alot about it or anything!
