Qual é o plural correto de horcrux?

11

Nós todos sabemos que havia mais de um horcrux, então a palavra deve ter uma forma plural. Mas, qual é a maneira gramaticalmente correta de soletrar o termo para "mais de um horcrux"?

Essa é uma boa pergunta. A própria JKR não parece saber:

JKR: And did you like the dedication? "You were right all along about 'Horcri'?"

SU: Oh, no!

MA: Oh, Jo!

SU: There's that word!

JN: Nobody would believe me.

MA: Oh, he's never gonna let us--

JKR: So, I did write him a letter. And I did say that, actually, "horcri" is-- I mean, it occurred to me, you know, it really would've been, I think, a more correct plural, but I already had "inferi", and I didn't wanna have too many, umm, you know, Dark Arts weapons ending in "R I", so it was a kind of stylistic choice, really. I like "horcruxes" as a plural. - Pottercast Interview : Part 1, 2007-12-17

JN: Until next time, guys, keep twiddling those dials.

JKR: The next password will be: "Horcri". Pottercast Interview : Part 2, 2007-12-24

No entanto, em seu antigo website ela declarou explicitamente que era Horcrux es . Esta página foi arquivada pela primeira vez em 2006-06-12 e arquivada pela última vez em 2011-08-06.

Q. Is the plural of 'Horcrux' 'Horcri?'

A. No, the plural of 'Horcrux' is 'Horcruxes', as demonstrated by the eponymous chapter in 'Half-Blood Prince.'
