OK, so I was just thinking, and I've got a new theory. If Dumbledore's theory is correct (and I guess we've got to assume it is, though why Voldemort would want to use a live snake for this purpose is beyond me), the Horcruxes are as follows:

1) Voldemort himself, whom we meet in Book One.
2) The diary, which Harry destroys in Book Two.
3) Something of Gryffindor's or Ravenclaw's (?)
4) Nagini, whom we saw for the first time in Book Four.
5) The locket, presumably the same one the Order found while they were cleaning out 12 GP in Book Five.
6) The ring, which appears in Book Six.
7) The cup, which we haven't seen in "real time" at all; presumably, we will in Book Seven.

It looks an awful lot like there's a one-per-book pattern, and if so, this mysterious object of Gryffindor's or Ravenclaw's should be something that we've seen in passing in Book Three. Any guesses?

Maybe Ollivander knows something.

Or Fortescue. It is a bit suspicious that the DEs would go after a seemingly harmless ice-cream vendor -- whose hobby just happens to be medieval history!

Oh, is it? I missed that!

Oooh! Cunning! The question of what the Horecrux is in book three has been bothering me for ages, I'm glad your adressing it... :goes to read the rest of the replies:
