Surely if the above were true, Harry et al couldn't go around 
destroying other shelves containing other prophecies; presumably not 
all of them are about the Trio? 
Wonder what happens with all those prophecies now smashed? Are they 
kept as some sort of corroboration, or what?
As we don't know how the 'globes' are created, or the security system 
in MoM, I guess we'll have to wait for the next installment....
