One of the problems of Book VII in the Harry Potter series is determining the nature of the Ravenclaw/Gryffendor horcrux. According to Dumbledore, there were six horcruxes containing parts of Voldemort's soul--his diary, Marvolo's ring, Hufflepuff's cup, Slytherin's locket, the snake Nagini, and an object from either Ravenclaw or Gryfffindor. In order to kill Voldemort, Harry is going to have to destroy all of Voldemort's horcruxes first.
Finding the horcruxes probably won't be that big of a problem. Harry has already shown that he can break into Voldemort's mind. All he has to do is get into Voldemort's head again in order to locate the remaining horcruxes.
My daughter Katy announced a couple of nights ago that the "sorting hat" would be the Ravenclaw/ Gryffindor horcrux. It's a very good idea. The sorting hat has been at Hogwarts since the founding of the school. Likewise, it wouldn't take much exposition to claim that it had originally belonged to Ravenclaw or Gryffindor. The question would be how Voldemort would have gotten into postion to turn the sorting hat into a horcrux. So far, Katy hasn't had any more luck in explaining how Voldemort got to the hat than Hillary Clinton has had in explaining away her vote to authorize force in Iraq.

Maybe I'm missing the whole point, but I just can't really get into Harry Potter. I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan, I love fantasy in general, but for some reason Harry Potter just seems genuinely boring to me. I think you should pick up the first season of Battlestar Galactica on dvd. You might like it.
Different strokes. We have a Harry Potter family and we'll be at total immersion when Book VII comes out in July. To the contrary, I've always thought that the Lord of the Rings was a huge bore and haven't even been able to get all the way through any of the movies. But I have heard that Battlestar Galactaca is good.
I LOVE THE SORTING HAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
