The initials R.A.B. [may contain spoilers]

Eowyn, Lady of Rohan · 08-05-2005, 08:21 PM

So you know those initials at the end of the book in the locket that was supposed to be a horcrux? well i think that it was Sirius';s brother - Regulus A. Black. I think that the real horcrux is still at number 12 grimauld place which would mean that harry owns it.

There are so many "if"s when it comes to trying to predict things (but that's half the fun of it

). If R.A.B. is Regulus Black, Harry would own it, if the Horcrux and the locket at Grimmauld Place are the same and if Mundungus hasn't gotten his hands on it and sold it.

It has to be Regulas Black! That's Sirius' brother, a DEATH EATER! Hermione says that R.A.B had to have known Voldemort to call him the Dark lord! I know it's him! Also, it says that Regulas is dead, right? So it also says that "I will be dead by the time you read this" or something like that. I just know it's him!

yes, it most likely is him

**Nurvingiel** · 08-08-2005, 04:20 AM

I agree with you guys. I guess Regulus wasn't the snivelling coward (IIRC) Sirius figured him for eh?

I'm sure Mundungus has done something with it. Otherwise the scene with him and Harry in Hogsmeade would just be a red herring. (Possible I guess.)

Elanor · 08-11-2005, 05:43 PM

I agree that Mundungus stole it. That Hogsmeade scene wasn't for nothing! And it strengthens the evidence for RAB being Regulus. Yeah, I think Sirius underestimated his little brother. Slughorn mentions Regulus and implies that he was just as talented as Sirius. I even think Reg was in the Slug Club. And I think that Aberforth Dumbledore might have the locket now.... he was standing close to Mundungus when Harry saw them in Hogsmeade. While we know the identity of Aberforth (the barman in the Hog's Head), Harry does not, and I believe this will be part of book 7's plot.

So how did Regulus find out about and steal the locket? All we know is from his note, and what Remus says when they hear about Igor Karkaroff's death: that Regulus only managed to stay alive a few days after he abandoned the Death Eaters.

and all of those if's we know will happen in the world of fiction, because reg is the only one we have heard of and makes sense, that would mean harry should be able to get it easily, but than the classic cliche of him getting there too late to get it after mundungis robs im!

i totally think the same. i think its hidden at grimauld place and harry has yet to find it

Could the sorting hat be a Horcrux? (probably not, just an idea).It was one of the founders

Spock · 04-13-2006, 02:35 PM

Well I don't think the sorting hat but perhaps the sword that Harry pulled from it and that is still in DD old office, belonged to the founder of Griffindor.

Radagast The Brown · 04-13-2006, 02:49 PM

I doubt Voldemort could get it though. It's safe in the hat in Dumbledore's office. And also only a Gryffindor student could get it from the hat.

Spock · 04-13-2006, 03:02 PM

RTB-you forget, the 'evil' forces got into Hogwarts once, I don't think a simple thing like a password (knowledge of) would keep them out of the office, if they assaulted the school again. As far as the hat thingy, anyone can get the hat if they get into the office, I just think that with all the interaction, each term, with students, it would have made a poor place to preserve part of ones soul.

Agreed on the last part - though you have to admit it would certainly be unpredictable!

I still don't think it was possible for Voldemort to kill anyone in Dumbledore's office and put part of his soul in the sword while Dumbledore was Headmaster, without him knowing about it later.
