> adults cover to me, or perhaps the fake locket.

I know everyone has interpreted the thing around Harry's neck as a locket,
but my son and I agree that it looks more like a small bag. It has too much
of a "fish" look with a split tail, and this to me is the top part of a bag.
A locket wouldn't have that top part- it would just be attached to the chain
with a loop or wire or a whole in the locket itself. What would be in that
bag is much a mystery to me, but it makes more sence than Harry carrying
around a Horcrux. Then again, why was Dumbledore wearing that Ring!Horcrux
before he was able to destroy it's contents, other than to make sure it
didn't disappear? Is the are any power to wearing or using a Horcrux before
it's destroyed? Did Dumbledore some how use the "power of the ring" before
he destroyed the Ring!Horcrux? We know the Diary!Horcrux had powers- in
controlling people, the Chamber of Secrets was opened again, and havoc
unleashed. That Horcrux required a "life force" to enable the Horcrux, and
we know that Ginny nearly died so that Voldemort could achieve his means.
Part of that wonders if part of the Ring!Horcrux was used, as Dumbledore's
arm (lower part with the hand was dead). What did Dumbledore gain? All this
makes me wonder what Harry has in store for him to destroy these objects, as
they can't be that easy to just remove those deadly powers.
