that question about the thingies again

[quigonginger]

SPOILER SPACE:

I WAS SO GLAD I RAN INTO JOANNA THAT NIGHT.  I STARTED OFF THE EVENING 
OVERHEARING A GUY THAT LOOKED LIKE A PROFESSOR TELLING SOMEONE THAT HE 
HAD QUIT READING THE BOOKS AFTER POA BECAUSE HE DIDN'T SEE WHY THEY 
DIDN'T TAKE THE TIME TURNER AND GO BACK AND UNDO ALL THE THINGS LV DID.

I PROCEDED TO EXPLAIN IT TO HIM, AND HE AGREED WITH EVERYTHING I 
SAID.  I THOUGHT IT HAD THE MAKINGS OF GOOD CONVERSATION UNTIL I TOLD 
HIM I HAVE HAD INTERESTING CONVERSATIONS ABOUT FREE-WILL VS. 
PREDESTINATION AND HE SAID, "I'LL BET YOU HAVE."  

THEN I REALIZED HE WAS BEING SARCASTIC, SO I EXTRICATED MYSELF BY 
SAYING THEY WERE FACINATING CONVERSATIONS.

SO MUCH FOR TALKING TO SMART PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE.


Back to the smart people I hang out with online:

I posted my Horcrux question (were DD and HP wrong?) on another forum 
and found that I had been unclear.

What I was wondering was this:

They said there were 7 Horcruxes.  The diary, the ring, and LV's old 
body were gone.  That left 4 to search out.  (the locket, the cup, 
Nagini and the Rowena object.)

I think there should be 3 left.  One of the 4 that was left is now in 
LV's new body.  We know it isn't the locket, because that was emptied 
by someone other than LV.  We know it ins't Nagini because that one 
was made after his re-bodiment.  So that leaves the cup and Rowena's 
object, one of which should now be empty, having provided the new soul 
for his current body.

If they find the empty one first, they have to keep searching, but if 
they find the one with the Horcrux, then they just have to whack 
Nagini.  Maybe Herm will figure this out.

So am I making sense now?
