Harry’s Task at Hand

Let’s take a look at what Jo says about what Harry’s task is in the book 7:

"Dumbledore's guesses are never very far wide of the mark. I don't want to give too much away here, but Dumbledore says, 'There are four out there, you've got to get rid of four, and then you go for Voldemort.' So that's where he is, and that's what he's got to do." – JK Rowling

So, that is what Harry has to do in order to have a chance at any sort of normal life: the horcuxes must be found and eliminated, then Voldemort must be found and eliminated. This is potentially problematic, as Hermione would say, because destroying those horcruxes can be deadly to begin with, let alone facing the Dark Lord.

I also have to wonder how quickly Harry will be able to do these tasks. It took all of book 6 to find and a horcrux, and then only to find out it wasn’t one. The book must be at a pretty fast pace to including finding 4 horcruxes. Unless, they are in the same place. Like if RAB went looking for them all? It’s reaching, I know.
