I hope so, too. It's not that I don't like Harry, only do I have the feeling that it's the only kind of ending that would fit, but that's just personal.

On the other hand...the story is written from Harry's point of view, and it's almost impossible to write the death of a character through the eyes of which the story is told.

yeah, the whole "darkness... i feel so cold" etc. bit is a bit stupid, i think

if he dies it would have to be like a ghost story, you know... "when suddenly something reached out and grabbed me..." or something

I heard that JK met her fans at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on Sunday and she refused to say if Harry is going to live after book 7.

Could be because she wants to hold up the suspense. I hope he doesn´t die!!

Ok, let's continue the "Book 7" discussion here, as suggested. Where were we?

Marcus Baker wrote:Intresting theory. It does have the phrophesy in it, Harry will survive while Voldemort dies, but then he dies later. HOwever, I think something else will happen. Ive always imagined it like this:

Harry and Voldemort will end up dueling once again (this has to happen, unless JKR has a major twist in store for us), and then Dumbledore comes in. Maybe he distracts him while Harry Kills Voldemort. There are no death eathers because Ron/Hermoine/Ginny/Neville and the rest of the DA Members (if they are still around) will fight them. Dumbledore will die in the 7th book, im pretty sure of it (and who knows, maybe Nevilles fallibility will come in handy here, I really dont think hes going to improve and become a great wizzard skillwise afterall). Harry will live on, so will Ron and Hermione. Maybe one of the DA members die?? Voldemort will die for sure (the questoiin is how??). The wizzarding world will congratuate Harry and agknowlage him as a hero, he will go to auror school. I also think snape will help him in school. I dont think Harry will get into NEWT level potions, but I think his relationship with snape will get a lot better. Well, thats sort of an Idea on where IM hopoing the novel to go. I know a lot will be wrong, but this is how I see it in the future (which is probally not oging to happen, since I know JKR is going to throw a big twist soon like sirus's death). In regards to sirus's death, hes not going to Unite with him by dying. I see Sirus's death as Harry's weakness and loss of friend/godfather, his vengence, and the source for his power in the future.


Hmm, I don't think a final battle between Harry and LV could take place like that, simply because of one reason: As we've learned in GoF, Harry and Voldemort cannot kill each other with Avada Kedavra (or any other curse). And if it were as simple as DD saying "Look Tommy! I got something for you...", Voldie turning around and Harry killing him off, I'm sure it would already have happened. Now, in OotP, DD says that Harry possesses a powerful weapon, namely love, which LV underestimates. I think that will be the key to destroy Voldemort.
Either, I don't believe there'll be a kind of "and he lived happily ever after" ending. If Harry survives and kills Voldemort, he will be changed, just like Frodo at the end of LoTR. I don't think he will be able to go on like before.

The thing is if she told us whether or not harry dies she pretty much gives us the outcome.

1. If harry lives-Voldemort is definately defeated
2. Harry dies, but defeats Voldemort
3. Harry dies and doesn't defeat voldemort

3 is unlikely. Hence it is going to be one of the first 2. When you can narrow down the options that much you don't want to give anything extra away really. Especially as if you know the final outcome it becomes much easier to work out the general plot leading up to that event.

JKR only won't tell us to keep us guessing!

Yay, another person from my tribe. This is another good reason for Harry living that I had not thought of

i was thinking, and i reckon harry will die. i dont want him to, but i cant see any other way of it happening. i did this theory of voldie dying, and i dont see how it can happen without harry dying. http://broomsticksandowls.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=286&start=90
