The book said that the remaining horcruxes would be something special to each of the respective houses kind of. 1) The Hufflepuff cup, 2) Slytherin's lockette, 3)The snake, 4)Something of either Gryffindore or Ravenclaw.

That's not a coincidence at all, just a cliche.

I agree. I'll bet if we looked hard enough, there are alot of stories that have that cliche in them.

I just finished the book. My girlfriend is one one of the Potter message boards cause she loves the books and the theorizing that goes along with them. So here are some of the things me and her discussed about the book after I read it...


First, we both believe Dumbledore asked Snape to kill him. There are a couple reasons. Snape very well could be a double agent and by killing Dumbledore he proves his loyalty to Voldemort, while still being able to pass info along to the order. Second, it's been said in past books a number of times that Dumbledore does not fear death. Why then was he saying "Severus... stop... don't, etc" when he was about to be killed, other than to put on a bit of a show for the death eaters?

Second, one of the horcruxes may in fact be a locket that they were unable to open in one of the past books. I don't remember which one but my gf pointed it out to me.

My gf also thinks that Harry will return to Hogwarts for a couple reasons. First, the order will play a larger role in the next book if Hogwarts is seen as a headquarters. If the book was just Harry's travels throughout the land, the order wouldn't play any sort of hand in the book which seems to defeat the whole purpose of the forming of the order. Also, apparently JK has said there will be a new DADA teacher next year. Whether they play an important role or not is unknown. So obviously in order to know what is going on at Hogwarts with the professors, Harry needs to be there.

I also think it's safe to say Ginny won't be used again by Voldemort. It seems pretty uncreative of JK to use the same person twice as being used by Voldemort.

I felt the book was well written. There was a bit more of a social aspect to the book with all the snogging but I mean they're 16. It would be unrealistic to not have relationships enter the fray. I'll chat with my gf some more tonight and I'll ask her about some other stuff.

Yes, someone else agrees with me about Snape and Dumbledore!

That locket was in OotP. When they were cleaning Grimmauld Place.

You wanna refresh my memory of the locket? What did they do with it and such?

In Order when they are cleaning out the various rooms in Grimmauld place its mentioned in passing. And then never mentioned again. Which is why people think its a clue. :P

page 108 wrote:There was a musical box that emitted a faintly sinister, tinkling tune when wound, and they all found themselves becoming curiously weak and sleepy until Ginny had the sense to slam the lid shut; a heavy locket that none of them could open; a number of acient seals; and, in a dusty box, an Order of Merlin, First Class, that had been awarded to Sirius's grandfather for 'sirvices to the Ministry'.

they found it in the order of the phoenix aka sirius' house when they were cleaning up the rooms. there were several things they couldnt/didnt get rid of in the black house, including that locket which wouldnt open and the tapestry with the black family tree on it.

and about the whole dumbledore's death thing i have to say that i agree with jim and cass because i dont think dumbledore is someone who fears death either.. and believing that he ordered snape to kill him is much more comforting thought than dumbledore pleading to snape to spare him..

'Secret messages' hidden in Harry Potter books
28 Jul 2005 by Peter Gee
Bloomsbury, publisher of the Harry Potter series by author JK Rowling, yesterday denied that the Harry Potter books contain thousands of secret messages relating to Devil worship and futuristic predictions.

Doreen Mullet, an amateur Graphologist and Astrologer, claims to have identified over three hundred hidden phrases in the latest book 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince', including 'Worship the Devil', 'I like the Devil', 'The Devil is cool' and 'Kill Mummy'. Doreen also claims that earlier Harry Potter books foretell: the invasion of Iraq, the imminent invasions of Iran and France, the Isle of Wight gaining independence in 2017 and George Bush divorcing his wife and marrying Donald Rumsfeld in a surprise gay marriage ceremony to be conducted on his Texas ranch in 2009.

"Obviously Doreen has discovered something quite significant here," said Doctor Douglas Ramsbottom, an Astrologer who runs his own business from a council estate in South Manchester. "All the phrases, referred to as the D'Potter code in astrology circles, can indeed be made from individual letters, page numbers and the ISBN numbers of the Harry Potter books".

A spokesman for Bloomsbury commented, "Following this logic, people can obviously make up any sentences they like." But Doreen insists: "The evidence is there for all to see", pointing out that even the phrase 'prayer troth', an anagram of 'Harry Potter', means 'prayer belief'.

JK Rowling was unavailable for comment yesterday and understood to be 'resting' having spent an exhausting two days writing the final adventure of the Boy Wizard entitled 'Harry Potter and the Black Prince'.

DeadBrain can exclusively reveal that 'Harry Potter and the Black Prince' is the story of Harry's eighteenth birthday party, where he spends an interesting evening with his chums at a mysterious public house called the 'Black Prince'. There, Harry turns eight pints of lager into six pints of green liquid and an assortment of diced vegetables. The suspense starts when Harry and his fellow students discover that their memories from the previous evening have been erased, including the tragic death of Harry's best friend Ron Weasley, who tries to fly off the roof of the 'Black Prince' using a bar stool and a pair of serviettes.
