Vad är rätt plural av horcrux?

11

Vi vet alla att det fanns mer än en horcrux, så ordet måste ha en pluralform. Men, vad är det grammatiskt korrekta sättet att stava termen för "mer än en horcrux"?

Det är en bra fråga. JKR själv verkar inte veta:

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
