My apologies if this topic has already been discussed.
Could one of the horcruxes be hidden in the Room of Requirement? We
know that the room can only be discovered by someone who is in need.
We know that Lord Voldemort wanted to return to Hogwarts to teach
Defense against the Dark Arts. Dumbledore knew that his primary
reason to return was not to teach but to recruit future Death
Eaters. Could other reasons be that he wanted to hide his completed
horcruxes and/or find Hogwarts relics (assuming LV already knew
about the room)?
The book cover for Deathly Hallows (UK Children's Edition) appears to
show Harry, Ron, and Hermione being hurled through a circular doorway
into a room full of "treasure." Could the Room of Requirement be the
room where the "treasure" is contained?
After reading (again) Chapter Twenty-Four (Sectumsempra) of the Half-
Blood Prince where Harry is attempting to hide the Prince's copy of
Advanced Potion Making in the Room of Requirement from Snape, there
were key thoughts/words that caught my attention:
"I need a place to hide my book." (Harry attempting to open the door)
"...objects hidden by generations of Hogwarts inhabitants."
"Harry hurried forward into one of the many alleyways between all
this treasure."
"He opened one of the cupboard's creaking doors. It had already been
used as a hiding place."
I can't help but to think that in book seven, Harry will need the
Prince's copy of Advanced Potion Making and possibly discover hidden
clues to another horcrux.
Just some thoughts.
