what might their relics be?

slytherin's was a ring and a locket. well, since slytherin wanted to keep hogwarts exclusively for pure bloods, i think the ring can symbolize that, the same people over again. as for the locket, i have no idea what i might mean.

hufflepuff's was a cup. hufflepuff loved feeding people, was a fantastic cook, blah blah. cup makes sense.

gryffindor's a sword. bravery, courage, fighting for what is right. appropriate.

but what about ravenclaw's? that's the unknown relic. any ideas?

how about a claw of a raven.

Also, I don't think that the mirror of erised would be Ravenclaws. Dumbledore said that men sit there and waste their lives looking at the mirrow. Ravenclaw is a house for the witty and smart. Wasting your life looking at a mirror isn't very smart.

yes, but if you look on the cover of the first book, the illustration of a mirror somewhat resembles a bird. plus, it is a high priced object, something that voldemort would want to include. but i do think that nagini, voldy's snake, is a horcrux.

I just looked at it, and I don't think it looks like a bird at all.

Ravenclaw's...hmmm

I've heard everything from the Mirror of Erised to the stool the Sorting Hat sits on... lately I've been reading a lot of theories concerning her wand.

I am really stumped on this. I just don't think it is anything anyone has said.

i was actually thinking of a spear... but we havent encountered spears in the book, so maybe that isnt it.

i think all of the horcruxes have already been revealed, we just have to read back through the books and find them.

I think that a mirror is apt.The sorting hat says Fair Ravenclaw meaning she was beautiful.What if the mirror that Sirius gave Harry used to be Ravenclaws?He broke it remember and we haven't heard about is since and Rowling said that it would play an important roll but not in the way we would think.
