So it looks like Kreacher will have a role in the movie version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix after all. Apparently the directors of the movie didn't really see a point in including Kreacher's character. JK Rowling intervened and said that if they didn't include Kreacher, that might make things more complicated in future movies. Interesting.
Perhaps Rowling is saying what many Potter fans have believed all along: that Kreacher has hidden the locket that RAB (Regulus A. Black?) stole from Voldemort's cave - the same locket that once belonged to Salazar Slytheryn himself - and contains one of the seven Horcruxes.
How did the locket happen to end up in the Black house? Perhaps Kreacher was with Regulus in the cave. Regulus wouldn't have been able to retrieve the locket alone - and bringing another wizard wouldn't have worked. Seems like there's more to Kreacher than meets the eye.
