I would have sworn that Gryffindor tower was tallest!

But, yeah. I was sure that Gryffindor’s sword wasn’t a horcrux.

Hmmmm, well apparently an encyclopedia is coming out with everything in it, including stuff that didnt make it into the books…

(I have so many questions, which i THOUGHT would have been answered in the last book)…

I hadn’t thought about ravenclaw tower, but I have to think it was. How would I ever get JKR to answer that question?

Haha, yeah. And going with the whole elements thing… Ravenclaws tower was the highest tower, and the Huppelpuff cup was right down in a vault… wonder if that was intentional??

Right on Chris. Overall, I have to say I’m happy with my hit rate here. Definitely wrong on some counts but right enough times to make me happy. =)

YES!

I knew the sword wasn’t a horcrux ;]

But that tiara, really was missleading introducing the new one, when it was in the room of requirment all along….

Yeah, but on the note of the diary, Voldemorts soul possessed Ginny. I know it was because she put her emotions into it etc… but I would expect more from the sword…

Good question, but first a comment about the notion that Harry wouldn’t be able to wield it – why not? He was able to hold the diary without harm. I think the curse from the ring came not from touching it, but from the “magic” required to destroy the “horcrux essense” of the object and thereby the fragment of Voldemort’s soul contained.

But on how Dumbledore came upon the sword and his interest, several thoughts occur. One is that the Potter’s (or Dumbledore) are Gryfendor’s descendents – they did live, after all, in Godric’s Hollow – perhaps that is James’ family home. Perhaps Voldemort knew the sword was there and intended that it be the horcrux vessel the night he killed James and Lilly. Another thought is that perhaps it had been kept in the hogwarts headmaster’s office from ancient times.
