Watched The Aristocrats today. Much laughing involved. There were some awesome renditions by... a mime, as a card trick, and by Bob Saget. (yes, you have to see it to believe it, but I believe he told one of the best ones in the movie. Gottfried was great as well.) Man. And Whoopi's is funny, too. The joy they take from crafting the perfect story is quite infectious. :D

And I went to work. And I came home and packed more books.

Sneaking suspicion that Harry is random 7th/8th horcrux

I have a sneaking suspicion about a Horcrux that isn't Harry.

The Aristocrats was awesome. The card trick was fantastic.

oh? Do tell!

It's a bit of a stretch, but hear me out. (I developed this theory with some other people for an RPG we're working on.)

The three symbols of the Founders that we know of so far are Hufflepuff's cup, Slytherin's ring, and Gryffindor's sword. Those are three of the minor arcana of the tarot (cup, ring/pentacle, sword). The fourth is the wand.

JKR has made a big deal since the very first book about Harry and Voldemort's wands being matched, that Fawkes only gave two feathers and they each have one.

Now, what's the likeliness that Voldemort would have gotten his hands on Gryffindor's sword? Not too likely, as it was inside the hat until Harry pulled it out. But what if Ravenclaw had a sword (or something like it -- we decided it was a quill, for "the pen is mightier than the sword"), and Fawkes' feather inside Voldemort's wand, being the representative of Gryffindor and Dumbledore, was the location of the last Horcrux?

Because really, how could you possibly get close enough to Voldemort that you had to destroy his wand? Not to mention the wand being the soul of a wizard...

hmm.... iiinteresting. So you're saying that Harry must destroy Voldy's wand, perhaps in the process of dueling... like one of those GOF things, or something... And here I was thinking that all the stuff about Harry having a bit of Voldy in him meant that he was, unwittingly on both parts, a partial horcrux.

But what about the other 3 horcruxes? I mean, arcana is 4, right?

Well, there's the diary, the locket, and the four arcana. Voldemort split his soul into seven parts, but he has to keep at least one part. So six horcruxes and the soul that's still in him.
