Following Dumbledore 's death, Voldemort consolidates his support and power, including covert control of the Ministry of Magic, while Harry is about to turn seventeen, losing the protection of his home. The Order of the Phoenix move Harry to a new location before his birthday, but are attacked upon departure. In the ensuing battle, "Mad - Eye '' Moody is killed and George Weasley wounded; Voldemort himself arrives to kill Harry, but Harry 's wand fends him off of its own accord. Harry, Ron and Hermione make preparations to abandon Hogwarts and hunt down Voldemort 's four remaining Horcruxes, but have few clues to work with as to their identities and locations. One is a locket once owned by Hogwarts ' co-founder Salazar Slytherin which was stolen by the mysterious "R.A.B. '', one is possibly a cup originally belonging to co-founder Helga Hufflepuff, a third might be connected to co-founder Rowena Ravenclaw, and the fourth might be Nagini, Voldemort 's snake familiar. They also inherit strange bequests from among Dumbledore 's possessions: a Golden Snitch for Harry, a Deluminator for Ron, and a book of fairy tales for Hermione.
