No: HPFGUIDX 171905

One of the horcruxes is an item that belonged to the founder of
Ravenclaw, possibly a beat-up-looking silver teapot.  It is in the
careful keeping of Kreacher.  Harry will learn this and be overheard
by Dobby.  To Harry's dismay, Dobby will take it upon himself to
destroy this horcrux.  The valiant Dobby will succeed in doing this,
but at the ultimate cost, as he and Kreacher will fight to the death
(both will perish).  In recognition of this sacrifice, a law will be
enacted requiring equal treatment for house elves and the official
end of the practice of slavery.

Another horcrux is a portrait painting of one of the departed
headmasters, this one from Slytherin.  Dumbledore, speaking from his
frame, will give Harry a cryptic clue about watching out for a
certain headmaster, but Harry won't understand the meaning, i.e.,
it's not the person depicted who is not to be trusted, but rather the
painting itself.  Neville will be the one to learn the truth, of
course by accident.  His gran will send him a plant previously
unknown to wizarding science.  After handling this plant, Neville
will pull from his pocket the slip of paper his mother gave him when
he visited St. Mungo's.  He will have forgotten he still has this
paper.  But the plant's juice on his hand will cause a secret message
to be revealed.  Neville is astounded, as this not only means that
his parents are merely play-acting at being insane, and they have
discovered one of the horcruxes.  With Neville's help, Harry destroys
the painting.  The boys can't persuade Hogwarts officials of the
dangerous nature of the painting, and they get into huge trouble, of
course, for vandalizing school property.

The Deathly Hallows is intended to be a public consecration of Lord
Voldemort as a godlike high priest of death, invested by the Evil
One, the ultimate unseen spirit of evil in the world.  It will be
revealed that the name "Voldemort" means "Will of Death"; upon his
apotheosis of sorts, Tom Riddle will be able to cause the death of
anyone to whom he merely wills it.  This would be the highest power
ever held by a wizard.

The penultimate horcrux is Voldmort's wand.  When Harry challenges
Voldemort to a wand duel, he isn't aware of this.  But during the
duel, a flash of magic comes from the crowd, and the wand is knocked
from Voldemort's hand and a woman's voice cries out to Harry to
destroy the wand, as it is a horcrux.  Which Harry will do.  The
mystery woman is Petunia Dursley.  She long ago received a cryptic
letter from Lily, who told her about Tom Riddle's wand and until
recently didn't understand its meaning.  She has learned, and now
knows that the time has come to use her knowledge – and bone up on
her spells.  She has defied Vernon and Dudley's pleas not to attend
the Deathly Hallows.  Upon knocking the wand out of Volemort's grasp,
Petunia will be seized by Death Eaters.  Thanks to ensuing events,
Petunia will survive, to the vast relief of Vernon and Dudley.  She
will be welcomed back into the wizarding world and will be offered
the position of new instructor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.  To
the dismay of Vernon and Dudley, when last seen she will be seriously
considering accepting the post.  She would no doubt be the first
successful such instructor.

Harry accepts the offer to be the youngest-ever headmaster of
Hogwarts.  He will offer the humbled Draco, now firmly on the side of
good, the position of professor of Potions.  Draco will be honored to
take over for the now-revered departed Snape.  Harry will insist that
the blushing Neville become professor of Herbology.  It's
appropriate, as Neville has scientifically documented the mysterious
plant from his gran, and it will be named after him:  Revelaticus
Longbottomii.
