Rowena Ravenclaw’s Horcrux Is a Tiara

Something belonged to Ravenclaw that was turned into a horcrux as the only known relic of Godric Gryffindor, besides the sorting hat, is the sword. Scouring the books looking for clues and listening to the audio books in the car I’ve paid close attention to when Harry or other characters are touching stuff that they are not paying attention to. This is a very dangerous practice in the wizarding world too. I’m surprised that Harry isn’t more careful after what he found at Sirius’. Anyway, I digress.

In the Room of Requirement is the Half Blood Prince’s book hidden in a cabinet. On said cabinet Harry puts a bust(can’t these talk like photos?) and puts a silver tiara on top of it. Why is there something of this value laying there amongst the other broken and junkie objects?

Tom Riddle(aka Voldemort) killed three people the night he killed his father. He could have made more than one horcrux at the time. Then hiding it where everyone else hides their stuff, in the room of requirement. Remember too that he wanted a teaching post. Dumbledore assumed it was to find more relics, but what if it was to get one of his horcruxes back?

it is also mentioned that the weasleys' great aunt muriel has a goblin-made tiara that Fleur may wear at the wedding. maybe this is the same tiara?? I just thought since these are the only times JK mentions a valuable tiara in the books, maybe this is a horcrux, and we already know how harry will come upon it.

I also think the tiara is the horcrux, but why does Ravencalw have a tiara? What is the significance of it? Thanks.

well it says in book seven that voldemort thought he was the only person clever enough to get into the Room of Requirement.
also it mensions in the seventh book that Ravenclaws doughter the grey lady had told only one person about the diadem, who happens to be tom Riddle, and where she had hidden it. In Albania. Tom Riddle spent many years travelling there, it also was his hiding place when he was less than human. so he couldnt have been picking up the diadem when he went for a teahing post because he hadn't yet gotten the diadem.


i also think that it takes more than just one death to create a single Horcrux, or else Voldemort would have more than seven.
