I've found the same website as you have and am inclined to agree with 
you that Harry will be on a quest for those four hallows once 
belonging to the four founders and now containing death for Voldemort 
once they are destroyed.

There are several reasons to suppose this will be the case:

1. We know that Harry will be hunting for Horcruxes and that the 
Horcrux is encased in some sort of object.

2. We know that the four founders will play significantly in the next 
book.

3. There are already many strong connections between Harry's story 
and Arthurian legend and every reason to suppose that the tie-in's 
will continue.
