That JKR, seven books, seven horcruxes (I guess technically six with 
Voldemort himself being the seventh bit of soul left).  It would be 
just like her to use the theme/title/plot of each book to identify 
the item/whereabouts/how to destroy each of the horcruxes.


SS:  Something of Gryffindor'or Ravenclaw/Gringotts
COS: Diary/Chamber of Secrets/destroyed by Baskilisk fang
POA: Hufflepuff's cup (Lucius Malfoy has to have his tea!)/Azkaban
GOF: Nagini/Graveyard
POA: Locket/12 Grimmald Place/may or may not be destroyed
HBP: Ring/Gaunt House/DD destroyed but we don't know how.
Book 7:  Voldemort 

Oi..the possibilities are endless.
