hpfan_mom:

Scholastic.com has a pronunciation guide that you can get to from 
this link:

http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter/reference/

According to this guide, the plural is horcruxes, pronounced hor-CRUX-
es.  You can hear someone say the word (JKR?).  Not exactly canon, 
but perhaps Krum will need help with the pronunciation in Book 7 and 
it will be confirmed.
