book, not a pile of ashes. The Cup was still a cup, though likely
bent. And I believe that 'mangled' is an overly dramatic word, in
this case, for bend or misshapen.

I am missing something here plz help me to understand.
This piece of dark magic Tom Riddle came to know as horcrux from
the forbidden library says that a wizard can separate his soul into
7 pieces? Or more, nevertheless has to have some sort of scientific
background even in the WW.
 It would seem that LV had to have control of these pieces and know
what he wanted to do with them to make them horcruxes. Then he had
to make a decision in what to place them, where to hide them and how
to protect them.
 Given that Lily & James were murdered just before Harry was touched
in the head, would account for two pieces of soul not yet placed
anywhere. Then LV lost his powers and poof gone. Was the piece
attached to Harry-Lily's? And what happened to James' piece?
Can we name all 7 pieces.
In the Movie <I know no one cares> DH1 Ron destroys the locket
horcrux and said only 3 more to go. At that point, only the book &
the ring had been neutralized. Excellent word.
Way back in old school-3+3=6 Maybe just a Hollywood booboo.
