less than seven, write "n/a" or add extra letters as necessary.
Horcruxes in previous books and previously inactivated Horcruxes
must be identified for full credit. If you think one of the soul
pieces is in Voldemort so there are six external Horcruxes plus the
bit still in him, then write "In Voldemort" for one of the answers.)

b. Marvolo's Ring

d. Hufflepuff's Cup
e. In Voldemort, but destroyed by the A.K. curse he tried to place on

had to use it to stay alive and then he found Quirrell before the
events of the first book.
g. An artifact of Ravenclaw's.


In case Hogwarts does not reopen, or in case we do not have
sufficient information to answer #5 and #8 above, these two
alternate questions will used in place of #5 and #8, above. If #5
and #8 are sufficiently answered in DH, the alternate questions will
be used as tiebreakers.

patronus:  a snake
boggart: Voldemort

Alternate 2. What is behind the locked door at the Department of
Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic?

This will not be revealed in the book. Harry will have the chance to
