I was wondering if anyone had given any thought into the possibility
of the last two unaccounted-for horcruxes might be Harry and
Voldemort's wands. I have been dwelling on the theory for some time
now.
First, there is the obvious fact that Ollivander has disappeared, his
wand shop left empty. He was the one who told Harry's wand is
the "brother" to Voldemort's, each containing a feather from
Dumbledore's phoenix.
Second, at the very end of the book, Harry actually looses his wand
while confronting Snape. I am assuming that he retreived the wand,
but JKR never does confirm it.
It would make perfect sense to me, that the horcruxes could very well
indeed be Harry and Voldemort's wands, although I do not quite
understand how it could be possible. Dumbledore has theorized that
Riddle's horcruxes are objects that are of significance to him. It is
also telling that in the Chamber of Secrets, Riddle reached for
Harry's wand. Wands are such an important part of a wizard that they
are often overlooked, which makes them perfect candidates for
horcruxes.
Is this too far-fetched, or does this theory have some merit? I would
love to hear some comments on this.
