Right. So it makes no sense that the ring reacts to Harry as if it were
still a Horcrux. But it does act that way in the film. (And, of course, it's
just *wrong* that a Horcrux would destroy someone's hand unless it had a
protective curse on it--and even more wrong that "a Horcrux could be
anything." I wish they'd stick with the story on points like those.)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

DD states after Harry touches the ring that it still has power. This does
make sense in setting up the Hallows, because the ring may no longer be a
horcrux, but it's still a hallow. It may not be in the book, but DD
asserting that it's so powerful that even with the horcrux destroyed it's a
powerful magical item is not a far stretch. 

 

My presumption is that they don't want to first explain to a film audience
that the ring has no power because the horcrux was destroyed and then say,
oh! But it has power because it is a Hallow.
