OMG!! I think I found the locket!!

[Lady_Imrahil]

Forgive me if you guys have already found this and discussed it, but I think I found Slytherin's locket/Voldemort's Horcrux.

As review, at the end of chapter 28 of "The Half-Blood Prince," Harry discovered the locket they had recovered was not the Horcrux, and contained a letter addressed "to the Dark Lord," a title which Harry had previously observed was only used by Death Eaters. Also, it was signed "RAB" which has to refer to Sirius' brother Regulus Black. He was a one-time Death Eater, and he was mentioned about three times randomly in the book---we all know J.K. Rowling well enough to know that nothing is random in her world. This also would redeem him, making a nice little ending to the Black Family, Sirius too.

Now, I was reading "The Order of the Phoenix" to my little brother, and was in chapter six, page 116, the last paragraph, where they are cleaning Sirius' dining room shelves, remember, the House of Black. Among the list of items, she randomly mentions "a heavy LOCKET that none of them could open." They were throwing some of these things away, but Kreacher kept stealing them. When, later in the book, they went to Kreacher's "nest" so Hermione could give him her Christmas present they saw that "in a far corner glinted small objects" (page 504). So either it will still be in the dining room of the Order of the Phoenix (ah, the irony) or in Kreacher's nest.

So? What do you guys think? Have I hit gold or has my Rowling paranoia sent me over the edge?

That's cool but I already knew that... sweatdrop  

[Xenia Sol]

Wow, i didn't know that! Very good analysis! eek 4laugh  

[Ginnny_Weasly]

its like you can read J.K. Rolings mind as she writes  

[Night_Class]

hey well tahts something else including that there isn't much about how jk hides things in her books i wouldn't be too surprised  

[kitsunemajin90]

That's a really good point. It has been mentioned quite a few times and I believe you're right. We won't know until the next book comes out though.  

[beachvolleygirl10]

cool! i never thought of that! and i've read the book 5 times! I just go with the flow and don't overanalize though. Not that i think your OVERanalizing, just that you though through this A LOT. nice job!

I was thinking the same thing...I had remembered a heavy locket they couldn't open...and the RAB thing...Regulus somthing Black, maybe that's why Voldemort had him killed!  

[Spastic waffles]

I was thinking along those lines too.  

[Lady_Imrahil]

Thank You! 3nodding I'm still excited. Whee heart

The other thread I created for this topic in the main forums got some nasty remarks from the fans who let me know, VERY clearly, that my discovery was "old news." Everyone here who knew was nice. Thanks!
