Hi all,
I am just curious - how many of you are of the opinion that Harry will live, and triumph over Voldemort at the end of book 7? Personally I think he will
triumphed over Voldemort, yes, but I doubt if Harry will survive. Like his mother who had sacrificed herself to protect him, it would make sense that Harry will have to sacrifice himself for someone else in the end. I'd hazard a guess that it will be Ginny. Besides, if Harry lives, JK Rowling would be hardpressed not to continue to develop her little wizard's story. That's my penny worth of thoughts, what's yours?
Harry better not die, that would really suck... and wasn't this topic already started? It had like 30 posts.
I think he will live. I am absolutely positive about that, besides I have heard that J. K. Rowling said he won't die. So I trust that he won#t. But i am very curious what will hapen in book 7.
Hm, frankly after book six came out, I don't really care. Actually the only reason I'm going to read book 7 is because I might as well finish the series, but book 6 was such a disappointment. However, I think too many people will be even angrier with rowling if she kills harry.
i think book 6 was cool.
as for harry, i think voldimort will kill him
Oops, sorry all, I didn't know that the topic had been discussed before. All the more for me then.
I wanted to add that I loved book 6. I've even dshed a few tears on it. like some of you, I was sad that Dumbledor died, but I was disappointed that his death was - well, pointless. I could've swallowed the bitter pill a bit easier have they found the real horcrux.
i hope harry doesn't die, but something tells me he might...
hmm, well...Rowling doesn't have a lot of happy fans after the end of book six...and I have a feeling she won't have any if Harry dies...but maybe she doesn't care. But I agree with Mini in that if Harry lives people will want her to continue his series. Personally, I hope he lives...he's a cool character.
Well, I've visited Rowling's website, and she's no fool, she said that she knew a lot of people will disapprove of book 6. But she also said that she'd have to please herself first.
Well I like book 6. HOwever it is sad that Dumbledore died. But really. She will not have many fans if Harry really dies in book 7. I am positive that he will live. However another person might die ... maybe Ron, or another close friend. I don't doubt that.
I'm thinking Lupin will die in book 7. Since he mingled with werewolf on the Order's behalf, yet he was there during the fight at the school and some of the death eaters might have noticed his presence.
Noooooooo!!!
Well ... maybe he will but that would suck.
Zoners,
Yes, we were all upset with the outcome of book 6, but, aren't we missing something here? I despaired like the rest of you THINKING that Dumbledore had died. But something on another site has given me hope for the future of the wizarding world. The post on that site says that Dumbledore flew in some fashion when Snape executed the killing curse. That did not happen when the curse was placed on Harry's parents, however and when it was place 14 years later on the caretaker of the Riddle House. Dumbledore is very intelligent. Yes, I said is. He is also very generous of heart. He trusted Snape until the end. Don't you think that he would have done something to protect Snape against what he was called to do? It seems likely to me but too many thing point to the fact that Dumbledore is no longer in the wizarding world except as a portrait. But, consider the points I have placed on your very intelligent minds and let's keep posting! Hope book seven comes soon!!!
Hmmm, Bridge Soldier got a point there. But has Dumbledor not said at one point in the book that since he's wise, the mistakes he make tent to be more costly! So maybe he did make a mistake in trusting Snape so much! At any rate, a lot of questions will remain unanswered until we know whether or not Snape is evil.
I am glad that Dumbledor is an important figure though, for Harry could still seek his guidance if he could locate a portrait of the once upon headmaster somewhere.
Very true. And, do you think Snape is evil? In my opinion, he is. He still is. No good person would have had the coldness of heart to kill Dumbledore. So he *must* be evil, in my opinion.
Snape's cirtainly foul enough, but at the same time, Rowling has a way of twisting things, so she might just prove us wrong by showing Snape as a good guy.
But how can Snape not be evil to keep his stupid vow to Narcissa? Arg.
Rowling indeed says that she'll be killing more people in the next book. Says it right there on her web site. I don't think it will be Harry, Ron or Hermione, though. Harry will need Hermione's and Ron's help to do what he has to do to defeat Voldemort, because Harry himself is only a mediocre wizard at best, and he's only gotten this far on pure luck. I don't think weve heard the end of Dumbledore, either. Part of me is hoping that he planned his death with Snape, and Snape killed him as a necessary thing. Without Dumbledore, Harry will have to fend for himself, and maybe, in doing so, he will learn things he couldn't have learned if Dumbledore was still alive.
I think Harry will survive and Voldemort won't. The profecy says so too in other words. I never trusted Snape, even when Dumbledore did. He's one evil snake that bastard. Maybe, and it's a big maybe, Harry will finish off Voldemort, and lose his powers at the end of the book, which will make it possible for him to return to the none-magical world. I have a feeling that one of the Weazleys will die in book 7, another reason to cry then... Does anybody know when book 7 is expected?
First off, I agree that for the moment, Harry's but a mediocre wizzard, for sure if he has to rely on his magical power to defeat Voldermort, he'll probably be dead within a heartbeat. However, Dumbledorr said, Harry's ability to love is his strongest weapon. We'll see if love can really triumph over evil.
If Rowling has to kill off one of the Weasely, I hope it will be Percy, since I don't like him much. errogant little twit!
Does anyone has a theory on, why had Dumbledor a triumphant look, when Harry told him that Voldemort had use his blood to regenerate?
you know something, book 6 was not all that. but I believe that serious and dumbldore are not dead and that they will come back. As far as Harry potter goes he will die. Sure of it. He always comes out on top and this woman who writes them doesn't seem like she is an happy ever after type.
Personally, I like the fact that JK Rowling is not a happily ever after endings kind of author! She adds originalities and a touch of reality to her writing by being so! Goodness knows, there are enough authors whom believe in a happy, happy joy, joy endings. What a bore!!! In the real world, "good people" do get kill and that's that.
And yes, I know HP is a fantasy serie.
Wellif I had to say i think Harry will die in the seventh book. Harry is so mediocre it is not even funny. If Harry's greatest power is love, I don't think that will kill Voldemort. I don't see where Voldemort cannot love I ehink he chooses not to love people. That makes things very different, but I also wondered why dumbledor looked triumphant when Harry told him that Voldemort used his blood to regerorate. I have been wondering if Voldemort really is the evle one here. I know that yawl probily think I'm nuts, but let me explain. Voldemort only kills when he has beaff with someone. after all didn't he tell Lillie to move out of the way. I think the only reason that he killed her was because he knew that death would be the only thing to force her to stop shealding Harry. Think about it like this if yawl had to chuse who would be the to live or die out of yourselves or someone else. Would yawl chuse someoone else to live instead of yourself? So yawl can tell me what yawl hink about my theory. And please be nice about it peoples I know we all love Harry, and we want him to live, I just don't see how that is even possible.
Yes... you are nuts! There's no way in hell that Voldermort is not evil! How would you know that he wouldn't have Killed Harry's mother off afterward? If you were to question Snape, that's one thing, but Voldermort? come on...
Ok, if J K ends book seven happily ever after... I'll hunt her down and kill her myself. I've heard the debate about whether Albus will be a ghost or not, but I hope he's not. he can stay in his portrait in his office and guide harry from there. I agree that "Love is your strongest weapon" is some hint, and that magic alone won't kill Voldimort. I also think that RAB from the fake horcrux is Regulous black.
I cried over book five when serious died, but not over book six. Book six was a necessary evil I think, and was bound to happen.
book seven should be interesting
I agree with Cala. I would hope that JKRowling won't sell herself short by giving book 7 a happy ending. In terms of horcruxes, we know of the diary, Marvolo's ring, the cup, Naginnie, and what's left of Voldermort's bit of soul. Anyone want to hazard a guess where the other 2 horcruxes can be found? I am thinking that one of them is hidden at the school, in the chamber of secret, as it's a place in which Voldermort has an attachment to.
1, the ring
2, the diarey
3, the locket
4, the cup probably
5, the snake maybe
6, something of Ravenclaw or griffendorre... maybe
7, his soul
I don't think another horcrux will be in the chamber, because after he let the basalisk out and Albus kept a close eye on him, Tom said he'd never returned to the chamber I think and besides, the horcruxes were made after he left hogwarts. I don't where they are, that sould be interestin to see. I wonder if somehow, Harry's one? I mean, highly unlikely, *shrugs
I've often believed that Harry was a Horcrox. I hope personally, that he does die. It would end the book perfectly if he dies. I also would be extremely disappointed if Dumbledore turns out to be alive again. He's dead, let him stay dead. As for Snape, I don't believe he's evil. He kept the vow on Dumbledore's orders in my opinion, so that his position as spy will not be compromised. In the end, Harry and Snape have to work together. The whole series has been leading up to it. Harry has to learn from Snape, and there's nothing more to it. Snape is the only one who can teach Harry what he needs to learn to survive, or for the final battle at the very least. Snape, is, not, evil! He will come up with some kind of proof for that, and Harry will be forced to rely on his teachings.
As for where one of the other horcroxes maybe found, I was thinking, the orfenage where Tom grew up, in the very room that he lived in, probably. I mean, all the other places seen in the pensive seemed to have horcroxes, didn't they? Anyways, just my two cents.
But then, Mad dog, why did Snape knockout Flitwick, then take off up to the Astronomy tower with the four death-eaters who were most certainly bloody evil, including Fenrir Greyback, to back Draco Malfoy of Slytherin House and Lucius Malfoy's son, up when Voldemort had instructed Draco to kill Dumbledore? Why, after killing Dumbledore, would snape have taken off down the staircase with the other four death-eaters, including Draco, and ended the fight below stairs with the Gryffindore DA members and the Order Of The Phoenix's surviving members? Why did he go and disaparate with the evil death-eaters if he was acting spy for Dumbledore? Why was he so eager to get away before the ministry turned up? Sorry, MadDog, but you obviously didn't read HBP properly. look at Snape back in chapter 2. He actually helped the death eaters with the capture and murder of OOTP member Emmaline Vance, didn't he? Snape is Evil with a capital E, and that's all there is to it! Hope he meets an acceptionally nasty end in book 7, I really do.
Book 7 will certainly be interesting. I happened to come across a fanfic not too long ago and lets just say I found it rather interesting. If anyone is interested in it it’s called harry potter and the war of souls.
hmmm, I think your theory of Harry having to work with Snape is an interesting one. Goodness knows Snape can definitely teach Harry everything there is to know with regards to the dark art. As for Harry being one of the horcruxes, I highly doubt it.
Voldermort is known to hide his horcruxes in a place that have significant meaning to him. He dislike the orphanage, so I'd be surprise if he had hidden one there.
I was actually thinking of The Riddle house as one possibility, seeing as it is where he has taken vengance upon his father and grandparents.
OO yes, the Riddle house. And voldimort didn't start making them, like I said, till he was an adult, so unless he traveled back to the orphanige for some reason...
and I like Ather's idea. I agree with it. If snape is good and on the right side, and is just leading voldimort on, he's doing one hell of a job...
Ok, I have a question and a theory to run by yu guys.
First off, When Dumbledor died, the freezing charm that was cast upon Harry was lifted. Now, does this mean that since the secret to the Order of the Phoenix whereabout resided within Dumbledor will be revealed to everyone including the dark side?
As to my theory, I wonder if there's a possibility that Syrius brother is still alive and hiding somewhere as his body was never discovered.
If somehow Harry manage to survive in the end, He could be reunited with his Godfather's brother and have another chance of being nurtured by a parental figure.
This is far fetch I know, but hey...
I'm teling you guys, you'll see! Snape's gona turn out good! Just...trust me on this! As for joining the other death eaters, and disapporating with them, I think it was all a part of the plan. I think that all of it is part of a plan that Dumbledore and snape came up with. Anyways, it's just my theory, we'll see how it all plays out.
O yes, and wanting to make a dash for it before the ministry turned up? How cowardly can he get for heavens sake? I'd be more scared of getting caught out by you know who himself, never mind those softies at the ministry of magic, and think back to chapter two of HBP when you say Snape'll turn out good. What did I say happened to Emmaline Vance in my last post? and how did the deatheaters capture and nastily murder her, not too far from the Ministry Of Magic in London.
hay I feel that voldemort and harry will both be killed.
I think snape will live on and also think that dumbledore will be able to guide harry through the troubles in the book
Harry will not die! He will kill off Voldermort. Snape will be killed for the evil twit he is. He deserves to die a most painful death.
Can't wait for the book, but I'm sad at the same time!
You lot just don't quit, Harry is going to die people. Face the music Harry doesn't have the know how to fight Voldemort, so I don't see How he can win.
I actually agree with you on this one emerald
I cannot wait for the 7th book, and I am sad to hear that JK Rowling says she won't write anymore. I am hoping that the series will continue, perhaps through Harry's university years. I have no doubt that he will kill Voldemort. I imagine that he will have to learn a whole lot more and get a lot stronger, but I am positive that he won't die in the end. That would absolutely suck! I think that Harry and Hermione should hook up! Ginny is totally wrong for him.
I think that Ginny is a bitch and I think you are a romantic. How many people are thinking like me as far as harry dieing in the seventh book? Yawl are going to think I'm nuts, but I want to know if anyone else thinks Voldemort is not really the bad one here? Do yawl think dumboldoor is really noble?
Ok, yall, J. K. isn't going to drag this out afterthis book. common sense. She will also shock the hell out of us, so I'm not sure if Harry will die, or if Dumbeldore will be evil, or what. Writers are very evil people. *smiles. Personally, I hope Harry does die, and Jenni's not a bitch. And at the very end of the book, Fred and George are coming to live at my house. yay!
Well I kknow that J K Rowling is going to shock everyone and I don't care what yawl think, but Ginny is really a bitch, and Harry can do better than a slut like her. lol hahahahahaaahhah
Ok, I'm not going to debate whether or not Jenni is a "bitch" because it's of little important in my humble opinion.
I doubt that Dumbledor is evil, and I am convince Harry will die.
I was thinking of this the other day. You remember Fawkes, the phoenix in Dumbledore's office? Well in my opinion, it would be awesome for the final battle of Book 7 to have something to do with a phoenix. Say, for instance, Harry somehow takes on the characteristics of a phoenix, sacrifices himself for one of his friends ( I hope it's Hermione!), die and then rise up from the dead like Fawkes did. *That* would be something to shock us all to death. Everyone tell me what you think. Is that an innovative idea or what? By the way, I don't think Ginny is all that bad, but I still think that she and Harry don't really have too much in common. It seems to me that it's inevitable that Harry and Hermione will end up together when it's all said and done.
Well I think that is highly unlikely, because it is the wonds that have the feather from fox, and not Harry or Voldemort. If you say that then the same rules would apply to Voldemort as well.
I haven't read all the thoughts on this topic, since there are quite a few, but I figured I'd give mine anyway. I'm the biggest HP geek I've ever met, and that's putting it lightly. I will be more than furious if Harry dies, and I think it would be an absolutely silly and pointless ending to the series. That's not to say he won't, but I'll be upset if he does, not because I like his character. As for the comments made about Dumbledore's possible survival, all I have to say about that theory is bah! Dumbledore died, and everyone needs to quit being in denial and just deal with it. I cried, and I seriously considered going into mourning, but he's dead. That's just how it goes. I'm making no predictions about book seven, other than that I agree with the comment that Lupin will probably die. I'll hate it, because he's one of my favorite characters, but it seems to me that Rowling is eliminating everyone who could possibly help Harry in his inevitable face-off with Voldemort, and Lupin falls into that category. It makes sense. I also loved book six, and wasn't disappointed in the slightest by the quality. I guess we'll just have to wait and see about seven.
Ahhh...boooooooooo! If I hear one more person say Harry and Hermione should be together I think I'll puke. It's as plain as...whatever's plain to you that Ron and Hermione have a thing for each other, and if Harry gets in their way I'll kill him myself. I absolutely love Ginny...I think she's fantastic.
I heard people in the editory are already betting that Harry will be killed in book seven. I don't want that to happen!!! I would hate the books then, lol
Oh and btw, I personally like Ginny. And I agree that Dumbledore could guide Harry through the troubles by talking to him through that portrtret. I would hate it if Lupin would die, or Ron or Hermione or Ginny. And no, Snape will certainly not turn good. At least I don't think so.
I think we all need to chill and J K Rowling knows how she wants to finish the storey, but I can't see how Harry is going to win because Voldemort has more skill and he is just better than Harry could ever be. Even if we discount their ages, Voldemort had more skill at Harry's age anyway.
Firstly, there is no way, that Harry should end up with Hermione.
Secondly, I know where the locket is! Do you remember when they were clearing out the drawing room in the goblet of fire? One of the things they threw away was a locket. I bet creature has it.
I think you mean Order of the Phenix, but yeah I thought about that possibility, but it cannot work. Who ever found out about the Horcruixes would have been really close to Voldemort, and Scieris said that his brother was not inportant enough to Voldemort. So I can't say if that could be the locket, but If it is than it would not be in the house anymore. They threw all of that stuff away.
Love might be stronger than hate. So Harry might win with the power of his remaining friends, and maybe Dumbledore really comes back. You never know. I hope Harry will win.
Please forgive the spelling here, but I'm going to put my two cents in here.
First of all, I wonder myself if Harry is a horcrux. It certainly would explain why he had all that pain in his scar, and why he was able to see what Vuldie was doing. I wonder, though, if the horcrux in him was distroied when Vuldie came back in GOF.
Yes, Ron and Hermione had feelings for one another, and I think they got together at the end, even though it wasn't talked about.
I hated Snape at the end. But something just doesn't make since. I don't exactly know what to make of all that.
I think Fox will play a big part in book seven though.
I know quite a bit about the Harry Potter books, and anyone who reads them thoroughly knows that the plot can change on a dime, and so I can definately see a lot of changes happening in book 7. Anyway, at the end of book 6, Harry breaks up with Ginny. I don't remember exactly what he said, but it was something about how they could have had years together, but he had to continue his quest. And Ron and Hermione went with him, so I can see how they will play a major part in the final showdown. And I still think Harry and Hermione will get together, no matter what anyone says. Don't argue with me, let me have fun imagining. After all, that's what books are for, to cultivate imagination. To digress a tiny bit, I think the movies pale in comparison to the books.
I have to agree with you I think that Harry and Hermione will end up together and Ron and Ginny will die before everything is over. Or may be Ginny will get Voldemort back for using her like that. But who knows?
Snape's good, everyone! Good, I tlel you! *grins*
Personally speaking, there are much much more interesting plots and sinarios to guess and ponder over as to what might or might not happen in book 7, then the Hermione/Ginny/Harry triangle, but that's just me.
ahem...what did dumbledore preach throughout the end of book 5 and through book 6? the fact that harry has the powers that Voldemort has!
I tend to believe that harry will survive, but ron/hermione won't.
chelsea, you've got to fight me for the biggest harry fan, have loved the books since I really began reading them.
as for dumbledore being alive still? bullshit!
Ummm come on who still believe that Dumbledor is alive, get a clue people... I think Voldemort won't be defeated dy magic, because he is too powerful, but it will have to be something on the line the matters of the hart, so Tom Riddle will most likely not die but I think Voldemort will die and tom Riddle will come out as himself for good andf may be he might get to teach like he wanted to. I hope yawl get what I mean by all that...
I'd be inclined to agree with emerald. I do think that someone close to Harry will be killed off before it's all said and done. I would place my bet on Ginny, because I agree with whoever said that Harry will have to sacrifice himself for someone he loves. I also think that Harry will have to work with Snape. I am still unsure about that Snape. He has seemed evil all this time, which is my opinion, but you never know what Rowling will throw at us next. By the way, I still don't think Harry will die. That would really be a sucky ending to the series. Somehow, he will pull through. And I still think he and Hermione will get together, no matter what anyone says.
According to the profecy either him or Voldi will die, but I hope it's not Harry.
Well If yawl really want to know Harry might not have to sacrofice himself for no one, but I think Harry will have to learn to love Voldermrt at some level. As for someone dieing I think it might be Ron or Ginny. If we are lucky I hope itis one of those two. Now here is a kicker for you lot, and I want yawl to comment on this issue. If Dumbledor was so noble did Lillie and James know about the full contense of the profecy, because I don't think they did. If so Lillie would not have tried to stop Voldemort from trying to kill Harry, she would have just let him at Harry, because she would have known that they culse would have rebounded on Voldemort. So we have to ask ourselves who in the hell was Dumbledor trying to hurt here, and is he as noble as we think he is?
Even though her continual insistence that Harry and Hermione will end up together makes me want to puke, I must agree with Darrah that it will be a sucky ending to the series if Harry dies. People say it makes no sense for Harry to win because he's not skilled enough to fight Voldemort, but he's done it before. Not on such a grand scale as this predicted final battle, but he's done it. And like Garret's already said, Dumbledore says Harry has what it takes. That should count for something, because...well, it's Dumbledore. As I said, I'm making no predictions because J. K. Rowling is insane and there's no telling what she'll do, but I do think that more than one person will die. And I don't see why so many people dislike Ginny...I think she's spiffy. And as for Ather, he only says that 'cause he and Snape have so much in common. Lol. Oh, and Garret, let's fight, then...violently.
I agree, Chelsea. But I hope you are right and Harry wins.
But what is the problem of Harry and Hermione being together? It's not that bad.
It would be very interesting if Harry could kill Voldemort with kindness, i.e, by forgiving him. Yes, this is a principle that goes along with all aspects of life, Christian or not. I'm not sure though, now that I think of it, if forgiving would work. But it is definately something to ponder. And yes, Rowling is verrry good at throwing twists at her readers. It is something I have loved since the series started. I know the last book will be chock full of surprises.
What is so bad about Harry and Hermione getting together is that it's just not supposed to happen. Ron and Hermione have had a thing for each other since...well...a long, long, long time ago, and something was happening between them at the end of book six. She can kill Hermione if she likes, but she'd better not make Harry and Hermione into a couple. Gag!
And as for Harry winning by forgiveness, it's an idea. As I've said, no predictions where all that's concerned. It will be strange if that's what happens, though, considering Harry's feelings toward Voldemort and all the people he's lost due to Voldemort's evilness.
yes! no harry and hermione.!
I agree with Chelsea and Blake. what a horrible idea to put Harry and Hermione together!
I'm still sticking with my prediction that Harry will have to sacrefise himself for someone in the end, and that person might be Jenny.
Okay, well I've probably been the last hold out in the world with regarding to reading Harry Potter, but I finally started with the first book. I may continue just to see if I can become a fan, but I'm not yet. I just keep thinking there must be something to it and I should give this stuff a try.
People get a clue, Ginny and Harry will not be together, but I don't think it will be Hermione either, it may be someone else intirely, so enough with the Harry/Ginny and Hermione/Harry shit. I asked what yawl thought about my idea of who was Dumbledor ws trying to hurt by not telling Lillie and James the full contense of the profocy. So insted of going around the same old shit can anyone answer my question and give your own opinion.
I was so pissed when I found out that Dd died. OOOOOOOH, I was one mad Russian. And, I didn't just shed a few tears, I outright cried and I'm not ashamed of it either.
Book six was good, but a bit disappointing. Anyone surprised at Snape?
I can't help but wonder. Could Snape be cursed and therefore, not acting on his own accord? Or, could someone be disguised as Snape?
Maybe it's just wishful thinking?
Y Brezhnev
No Snape was not forced to act as he did, but I think he made his choice the night Bella and Narsisa came to his house. As for Snape being good that is just wishful thinking and a lode of bull shit. Person I like Voldemort more than I like Snape because we all know that Voldemort is a soalless son of a bitch, and he doesn't try to hide the fact, but Snape did not have that to do. So that makes him worse than Voldemort in my book.
I also cried, but...I'm a bit ashamed of it. *hides face* I felt like the biggest loser...pretty much ever. Ah well.
I'm going to go with your wishful thinking idea. Snape's either evil like everyone thinks, or he's cowardly beyond all comprehension. Either way, it'd be nice if he died. I wouldn't cry over that one.
And as for the speculations about Dumbledore not being good and trying to hurt someone, I think we should stop reading far too much into everything. If you're going to make a good character bad, pick another one.
I love the series. Has the 7th one come out yet? I hope Harry lives and I think he will. If he doesn't live, then she will have a lot of people mad at her.
Again, I hope she won't sell herself out by letting Harry live just to please the public. It would be awesome if he'd die for an important cause.
Everyone would hate her if Harry died. She won't do that.
Agreed, Kimmy. I mean, if he dies, I'll feel a bit gypped, but if the only reason she let him live was because people would be mad at her otherwise, I'd be annoyed. I guess I just can't be pleased. Lol.
What if he lives but loses his power?
And, yes, I do agree that if Snape is a double crosser, as it appears he is, then he is worse those who do not disguise their evils.
Yuri Brezhnev
Ines, I'm sure Jk Rowling won't lose any sleep over the fact that people will hate her should Harry dies.
The idea of having Harry live, but dis-obe of all magical power is an interesting idea.
And I know where this idea comes from. Hee hee. But I doubt she would do that somehow. Somehow I have the feeling that it will be a rather happy ending - well, I say rather because I think *someone* will have to die. Ron maybe, or even Hermione, but I don't think it will be Harry.
Well I think Harry is going to live, but Tom Riddle's aultra ego Voldemort will die. As for Tom I think he will turn completely around. The reason I said that Dumbledor isn't noble is because of what the prophecy said. The curse that failed rebounded on Voldemort because he had to mark Harry as his equal, so that's why I ask if dumbledor told Lillie and James the full contents of the prophecy. I know that we all want to believe the best about dumbledor, but we all know that he didn't like Riddle at all. When he didn't give him the teaching job it was christel clear. Voldemort had most of his horcripxes at the time, so that wasn't the reason he asked to teach so what were his reasons?He didn't start coming out in the open until Dumbledor told him no about the job..
Hey has anybody heard anything aboutwhen book seven is coming out?
some time in 2008, I think...but Dumbledor never told Lily and James the prophesy in the first place, did he?..hm.
Of course he didn't If he did than Lillie would not have tried to defend Harry as a little child. She would have just let Voldemort at Harry, because she'd known that any curse he did would have rebounded on himself so that is why I asked if Dumbledor is really noble.
I had an idea. You know in the sixth book, Dumbledore was acting kinda strange sometimes? Maybe it was not really him, like someone disguised as him. Something to think about. Discuss.
I know what you mean, it was like he already knew what would happen before it did, but I think may be he use a time turner to go forward in time, but I could be wrong. Tell me if yawl agree.
The seventh book will be called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Snape is such a complex character. At this point, I couldn't care less about the possible couples in the final book. All I know is there is going to be more than one death, and Harry and Voldemort will have their final show-down. Is J. K. Rowling good at keeping secrets, or what? Harry dying would make for a very sad ending indeed, but a very unique one as well. Not too many stories about heroism have an ending where the villain triumphs. And yes, I feel Harry's ability to love after everything he's been through will play a part in the final battle.
Wow so much to say...
first of all.
I don't know what to say about the harry/hermione/ron/jenny stuff.
Whoever ends up with who i'm hoping willl be happy but at this point, I know for harry at least, there's way more important things on people's lists than who to spend the rest of their life with.
I mean if voldemort wins there won't be any life left to spend with anyone will there?
So that's the last thing we need to wonder about.
Secondly....
Whether snape is/isn't evil...
I don't haev the answer, it looks like snape is evil but... I could be wrong and.... so could we all. There were a few good points brought up about snape being impersonated by someone else... and now that I think about it there was enough time for the person... it didn't take long at all... that part of the book was pretty fast paced. But still.... Not sure on that one.
Same thing about Dumbledor.
I'm not gonna say that there's no way that he couldn't've been being evil or that he could be alive... JK says on her site that he really is... so i think that we should accept that people, and go on with it.
thirdly.... As this is another one of the well-discussed topics...
The horkruckses.
I don't know for sure what the remaining ones are...
but I do know that whatever they are... They are somethings that Tom... not Voldemort... held dear.
i say this because...
I don't remember what book it's in, I should look before I go any further with this post... but as I'm spending time with my girlfriend and trying to eat my dinner, I'll leave it to my memory for now, and come back and post more later after I've read back...
It was said that he'd created the first horcruckse was created while he was still at school... the diary.... not sure if any others were created then... but... that one at least was created then... he was obsessed with preserving himself young so... wouldn't it stand to reason that most of the others were done while he was still reasonably young? Perhaps not still in school all of them... as he could only do it as he killed someone but... still....
There aer more things that came to my attention but rushing just now and don't want to make anymore mistakes by going just by memory.... so I'm gonna get outta here before someone calls me out on something... hehehe.
Friendly waves...

Great points, I think these points are a great thing to remember, for Harry has to to fihgt the battle on his own.
On the Richard and Judy show last year when the sixth book of Harry Potter was about to come out to the shops, I heard J K Rowling say that Harry will live, but then she said she wants him to die and it would end the series. I read that she has had all seven books and the last line of the last book planned all along.
heard the same thing, but only she knows, unfortunately
lol-Let it be known that Severus Snape is, in fact, not evil, will probably be a huge hero in the seventh book, and because of that, he probably won't make it to the end of the book, which is gonna suck! I've also heard that Umbridge, Viktor Krum, and Rita Skeeter are going to make appearances. I like Ron and Hermione as a couple, and also Harry and Ginny. I hope J.K. Rowling expands on the Lupin and Tonks thing, although I'm kinda worried that Lupin won't make it to the end either. Apparently, we're s'posed to find out something about Petunia as well! I think it's very possible that R A B is Regulus Black. Am gonna totally reread all the other books before Book 7 comes out!
same here Did you know that when this series is finished, and if you have all seven audio books, it would take you six and a half days to finish every single one of them without stopping for sleep? I think I might just try that.
Damn! It wouldn't even take that long to watch all seven seasons of Inuyasha!
I'll take your word for it, even though I've never heard of or seen that show.
hay now doing a 6 day stint will be so cool. i did it wid da 4th ne & the 6th one. non stop listening.
two weeks and six days
well i saw the order of the phoenix movie yesterday and i thought of something. the profecy says this, taken from the book
he will have power the Dark Lord knows not . . . and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives .
if it's talking about the fact that harry knows love and voldemort can only hate, that could be what the profecy means. neither of these powers can live if the others survive. it could be harry's love or voldemort's hate...
and i read somewhere in a website about the seventh book, harry will have to choose between what is right and what is easy... so it could be that he doesn't choose what is right and joins voldemort... and at least it wont be the classic ovvious happy ending...
I agree with maddog. I think it's gonna turn out that Snape is good. as far as couples go, I think it'll be Ron and Hermione. and lastly, I think Harry will die, for a few reasons. one, I think it'd make for an interesting ending, and two, it'd be nice to see something rare happen. it's not often that we see a main character (and one who's not evil) die...and I think we need that. I think it'd make for a perfect ending, to be honest.
That would make for a very interesting ending. only six more days until we find out
Right well, even though the book's out in a matter of days and it's rather pointless to speculate now, I'm going to do so anyway as my views on the entire thing have drastically changed.
I'm still not making any predictions as far as who dies and who lives, but now I want Harry to die. I've read so many series' like HP where the whole good and evil thing is going on, and the hero always lives. Always. For once, I want to see an author get creative and do something different. I don't care how many fans would hate her if she killed him, I want him dead. I of course want Voldemort to die as well, because otherwise it'd be rather stupidly pointless, but. We shall see.
I really don't care about Snape one way or the other. I think he's sexy in the movies, but in the books I'm indifferent to him. Even if he does turn out to be good, I still won't like him, but that particular plot twist just isn't something that interests me at this point. As for Dumbledore, he's dead. The end. And, Harry joining Voldemort in the interest of what's right versus what's easy is an interesting idea, but not one I think we're going to see. It would just be wrong in every way.
End ramble.
I'm looking forward to the new series. I'm going to buy the print copy and scan it in. I'm a poor graduate student after all. I think that Harry will kill Voldemort, and he will marry Giny.
here's a bit of a news article I found relating to this subject:
How the hell is Neville the Chosen One, when, when Harrry's parents were killed, and he, Harry, has the scar? Obviously, this person didn't read very carefully.
I agree! how can that be correct? Harry IS the chosen one! He has to be or otherwise it wouldn't make sense!
2 days!
I would like everyone's opinions about the spoilers for this book being leaked out. It is an extremely hot topic. By the way, the book is out now. I can't wait to buy it.
o my god! This book is beautiful! All I'm going to say is, don't get too relaxed when you first start reading.
I'm tense right now, waiting. Gur'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r!
Tell me about it Joanne, gur'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r!
nine hours and forty-five minutes, Can the damn clock move any slower?
Oh my God, I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited. Here's what I think. Since Snape... Oh ok. maybe I won't say it. I just can't wait to find out if my theory is right. I'm gonna be really sad if it is.
And if it is correct, can you come back to this board and tell us what it was?
two hours and fifty-nine minutes! yeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyey!
Hi hope harry lives! Well, it'll be, what, 3 more hours or so till bookshare's got it, I hope!
down to one hour and twenty minutes
Well, personally, I rather favored the thing, even the epilogue, yes. It was good. Don't know why people don't like it, but hey, it's not my job to bash them either. Lmfao!
