    one in Grimmauld Place, now held by Kreacher or Mundungus, but 
    we don't know.
  -Four is almost certainly Hufflepuff's cup.
  -Five is a huge question mark, even to Dumbledore.  He suspects 
    it might be an unknown artifact of Ravenclaw's or Gryffindor's, 
    but that's not a lot to go on.
  -Six is somewhat questionable, but Dumbledore is pretty sure it 
    is Nagini."


Morgan here: This has been touched on before, but I also think that we will have been introduced to one horcrux in each of the 7 books. The number 7 is just too important for that not to have happened. My theory has some holes in it, though.

Part of the problem is I can't remember ever seeing the Hufflepuff cup elsewhere in the books. I do not believe any of the items we have seen act is good ways will end up being horcruxes (e.g., Sorting Hat, Gryffindor's sword, Mirror of Erised). Upon thinking about it I think anything with a horcrux inside it would be ruled by the evil of that soul, as the diary was.

Voldemort himself - Book 1 (where we saw his soul apart from the body)

Diary - Book 2

Hufflepuff cup - ?? (I thought this was the goblet of fire at first, but it is too old) Needs to be found in Book 3 or else my logic falls apart!

Something of Ravenclaw's - ?? This could also be Nagini, in which case she was introduced in Book 4

Locket - Book 5

Ring - Book 6 (unless we have seen the ring before and this can be traded with the cup)

Something of Gryffindor's - Book 7 Harry will find in Godric's Hollow
