Alla:

Heeee. Don't get me wrong, I really want you to be right on this 
one, but for some reason I am **not** so sure that Horcruxes will be 
done away with so quickly.

Just think about how much time Dumbledore spent on them, just think 
that at least two people Dumbledore and Regulus died while hunting 
them.

I mean, I am guessing that final choice **will be** about self-
sacrifice for Harry, but that is will be IMO the consequence of the 
existance of the Horcruxes ( whether Harry is the one, just believes 
to be the one, or none of the above), **not** just appearing out of 
nowhere.

Just think about JKR hinting that last book will have a lot of quest 
features ( two sided mirror showing up for example) and I am not so 
sure that Horcruxes will be done with fast, but more like featuring 
very prominently during book 7, IMO.

Alla.
