This is the first I've actually heard of hints of another horcrux in book six. So of course, I really don't have guesses on what a horcrux could be..one that was hinted at in book 6 anyway. I've always had a feeling it'd be interesting if Harry was a horcrux himself.

I dont think that can be a possibility, cause dumbledore said that voldemort would not use a living thing as a horcrux if he could not keep it near him, also he has been trying to destroy harry and not to keep him safe!!! so that possibility is ruled out!!! it has to be a thing which is kind of casual , but talked about a lot... thats what i think!!!

Harry can't be a Horcrux for the simple fact that Harry has to be the one to kill Voldrmort and if Harry is a Horcrux as long as Harry is alive Voldermort cant die. Also if Harry was a Horcrux then Voldermort would not be trying to kill Harry because in essence he would be killing a piece of himself as well.

I think the new horcrux maybe the one Tom got as a reward for his services to the school. Its a wild guess..but still a possibilty. :)

In the HP universe, a horcrux is a magical ogject created through the use of the Dark Arts: a "receptacle in which a Dark wizaed has hidden a fragment of his soul for the purposes of attaining immortality."

hey dude, sorry for saying this, but you should start reading what the discussion is about before you reply to it. every one who has read potter will know what a horcrux is and no one asked you for an explanation here...

Can you be a bit more explanatory??? what do you think that he is hiding??? i dont think slughorn has a horcrux, or that he is a horcrux , cause as i ve told earlier , its has to be procted too well, and voldemort knows that...

Aside from Tom's trophy, I can't think of anything else that may be a possible horcrux in book 6. But I remember Dumbledore mentioning a number of things tha could possibly be a Horcrux like Helga Hufflepuff's cup so perhaps those are the hints that JK mentioned. Maybe I'll read the book again and find some more hints towards the remaining horcruxes... ;)
