This has been long overdue, I reckon so here ya go guys - brand new shiny thread for y'all. So how do you think JKR is going to wrap up the series? What will happen? Who will die? Who will survive? What will change? Let's get those theories and speculations rolling then people!!

The old thread has now been archived and can be found here.

[Hermie122]

You know, I think Ginny is gonna die in Book 7! I mean, Voldemort could find out that Harry really likes Ginny! I can't wait to find out!

[Ginevra Potter]

Hermie122, I completely agree. Voldemort will use Ginny's death to lure Harry in for that final battle, where both Harry and Voldemort (I believe) will die. I've written a lot about this in the first thread. I dunno if I feel like repeating it all. I'll see once there are more replies. But do you guys think that Dumbledore is really dead? I do, but I've heard rumors to the otherwise. Interesting thing to consider.
And what about Sirius? I have half a mind to think he's still alive, but I dunno for sure. What do you think? And how does your thoeries come into play in the ending?

Gotta Go. Time for dinner.

Ginerva Potter:

You know, I don't want Dumbledore to be dead, but I think he his. Harry doesn't like it and neither do I, but it happened, it's just hard to believe because he was such a great character. Dumbledore was like a father to Harry and a great headmaster to everybody else, it was really sad to see him go.

I am not too sure about Sirius either! I mean, it seems to me like he may have just disappeared for awhile, but it also seems way unlikely that he didn't die. Would he have come back to Harry if he had not died? And would Harry be able to command Kreacher like he does?

How do my theories play into the ending? Well, let's see. I think, like I said, that Ginny is going to play a big part in the 7th book because Harry likes her alot. I think she could get hurt, or maybe even killed. But it is also likely that Hermione or Ron will get hurt because of what has happened to them in the past. Plus, Voldemort could probably recognize Ginny, Hermione, and Ron by now.

Anway, that's just what I think. But it is really interesting that you think Harry and Voldemort will both die. Now that I think about it, its a definite possibility that both of them die. I don't think that Voldemort will ever win, but maybe one of his death eaters will escape or something and become the next Voldy?

Just a thought!

[Ginevra Potter]

That would be an interesting idea, to have a death eater take command after Voldemort's downfall. A way to keep the cycle of the story going and keep the reader wondering... "Who will the next Harry Potter be, then?" Fun stuff.

Yeah, I think Ginny will play a very large part in the next book. I actually wrote my own version of the very beginning of the seventh book that kinda introduces that. Here:

Harry Potter Fan Fiction: The Beginning of the Seventh Book
By Mary Julia (Ginevra Potter)

Crickets were chirping outside on the street of Privet Drive. Mrs. Arabella Figg’s tabby cat, Mr. Tibbles, was meowing mournfully from three doors up. Night was falling fast on the town of Little Whinging. On this late summer’s eve children were in bed while drowsy adults sat by the television, sipping cool drinks before retiring. But inside number four, in an upper room overlooking the calm street, there was much excitement going on.

Harry Potter was scrambling about the room, throwing strange things into an already overflowing trunk at the foot of his bed. All of his old spell books, his pewter cauldron, a moving photo album with pictures of his parents, and a jumble of wizard’s robes were already piled into the trunk. He picked up his copy of A Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi as he turned to speak to his best friend in the whole world, Ron Weasley.

“Are you sure we have to leave tonight! It seems like they would have given us a little more warning!”

Ron was frantically throwing things into his trunk as well. “I told you, they did! Errol must have collapsed or got lost or something. They sent him ages ago. That’s when the not was dated, anyway.”

Errol was the Weasley family owl. He was very old and didn’t always complete his missions. Harry recalled a time when Errol had to enlist the help of two other owls to deliver something to Harry
.
“I’m just so exhausted. You know, I think last night was a poor choice for staying up all night playing Exploding Snap.,” said Harry, sinking onto his bed.

“Yeah, well we can at least get a few hours of sleep. Hermione’s gone to tell Mum we’ll be a little late.” Ron sighed, sitting onto his own camp bed. “But I really want to get out of here.”

“You think you’re sick of this place? I’ve had to live with my aunt and uncle for sixteen years! I’ve never been more ready to leave in my life.”

Harry’s aunt and uncle, Petunia and Vernon Dursley, had allowed Harry to live with them since he was one year old, after his mother (Petunia’s sister) and father had been murdered by the most powerful dark wizard of the age, the evil Lord Voldemort. Harry had had to endure his aunt and uncle’s horrible treatment, as well as the abusive behavior of Harry’s massive cousin, Dudley. But Harry was turning seventeen tomorrow, which is the age of adulthood in the wizarding world, so he would finally be able to leave for good.

“Oh I can’t stand this anymore,” Ron burst out. He threw back his covers and crawled into bed. “Come on, Harry. Let’s get some sleep. We can finish packing when Hermione gets back in a few hours.”

Not needing telling twice, Harry threw back his own covers. “Good night,” he murmured, removing his glasses and laying down. He closed his eyes and almost instantly drifted off to sleep.

~~~~~~~~

“Harry! Harry, get up! Get up! Where’s something to throw at him?”

“Oh Ron, you’re so tactless.”

“Well, he won’t wake up! We’ve got to go!”

“Here, let me do it.”

Harry felt something warm brush his cheek. Then a very familiar voice whispered in his ear. “Harry, happy birthday!”

Harry opened his eyes. Someone was very close to him. He couldn’t tell who it was; there was a kind of white and orange blur. He reached over to his bedside table, grabbed his glasses, and put them on. It took a moment for his eyes to focus, but when they did he jumped with a start.

“Well, it’s nice to see you too!” Ginny Weasley was sitting on Harry’s bed, smiling and brushing back her beautiful long red hair.
“Yeah, well if that’s what it takes to wake him up, I’ll leave the kissing to you.”

Harry turned his head and saw Ron already up and grabbing his minute owl, Pigwidgeon, and throwing him into his cage. Harry turned back to Ginny.

“Why are you here?”

“Oh, well, I thought I’d come and see my long lost boyfriend, so Hermione brought me here. Side-along-apparition.” She smiled and looked to where Hermione was standing a little ways behind her, grinning behind her bushy brown hair.

“Hello again,” Hermione said. “You get a good sleep?”

Harry was just about to answer when Ron interrupted him.

“He’d better have gotten a good sleep! We’re really late. We were supposed to be gone by midnight, and it’s all ready half past! Get up, lazy bones!”

“Ron, it’s his birthday!” Hermione said scoldingly, reminding Harry strongly of Ron and Ginny’s mother.

“Hey!” Harry sat up suddenly. “It is my birthday!”

“You caught on quick,” said Ron, smiling. “And I wish you a good one.”

“Thanks,” Harry replied. “It ought to be! I can finally do magic at this house! I can’t wait to jinx Dudley!” He snatched up hi wand and forced himself out of bed. It was, after all, just past midnight, and he and Ron had pulled an all-nighter only the day before.

Hermione put on a very stern face. “Harry, you know you can’t do that! That’s against the-“

“Yeah, Yeah. The decree for something with Muggles, etc.,” Harry interrupted, too used to Hermione’s longwinded speeches about breaking rules. “Fine, I won’t jinx him. But Uncle Vernon, on the other hand-“

“Oh ha ha. Anyway, Voldemort can do magic at this house now, too. So I agree with Ron.” Hermione checked her watch. “We’d better get going.”

“Yeah, get up and get dressed. Hermione and I will leave the room.” Ginny stood and walked toward the door.

“Wait!” said Harry in desperation, standing up. “Ginny, why are you here?”
“I told you,” she said smartly, “I came to see my boyfriend.”

Harry felt very confused. “But, Ginny. Don’t you remember what we agreed on ...that day?” Harry asked, not wanting to mention the sad event that happened as few weeks ago when their dear headmaster of Hogwarts, Albus Dumbledore, had been murdered.

“Of course I do,” she replied, “though I can hardly say that I agreed. I’ve waited long enough. I don’t care what happens. I miss you and I know you miss me.” And with that she walked out the door after Hermione and closed it. Harry was left to stare after her.

“Well, it looks like you’ve got no choice, mate. I grew up with her, and when she sets her mind to something, that’s it. There’s no changing back.” Ron put on a sly smile.

Harry looked back at the door for another moment, the turned to Ron. “I see you’re taking this well,” Harry said, grinning as he began to pull off his pajamas.

Ron shrugged. “I figure that it’s the inevitable. Besides, I’ve got my own girl to worry about.”

Ron and Hermione had finally gotten together at the end of last year. Whenever Hermione popped in to say hi, they were always together. They usually acted normally, but those spare few minutes when Harry would leave the room were somewhat awkward to interrupt upon return.

When they had changed, they let the girls back in. Harry and Ron were gathering a few last minute items before they left, and banging about rather loudly.

“Shh!” Hermione whispered. “We don’t want to wake Harry’s aunt and uncle!”

“I couldn’t care less,” Harry said, not bothering to speak softly. “I’m finally leaving! They can’t complain.”

Hermione muttered something to the floor about, “common courtesy....”

“Have they ever shown me common courtesy?” said Harry defiantly. “Or any of you, for that matter?”

They all reflected back to the end of term last month, when they had gotten off the Hogwarts express. Ron and Harry had walked up to the Dursleys and Dudley had scrambled to the car clutching his bottom. Uncle Vernon said something very rude indeed to Ron and had turned away. Then Harry had informed his Aunt and Uncle the he would be having a friend to stay with him over the summer. Aunt Petunia had gone deathly white, and managed to stumble back to the car before she fainted. Uncle Vernon had turned instantly purple with his vein popping out. But before he could embarrass himself in front of all of the people at Kings Cross, Harry conveniently mentioned that Ron was now of age and could do magic outside of school whenever he liked. To that, Uncle Vernon had gone extraordinarily pale, turned abruptly around and headed back to the car. Ron and Harry had had to run to catch up.

“Good point,” said Ron, coming out of his reverie. “So we really should leave.”

“Are you still going to apparate there, even though neither of you have your license?” asked Hermione with a threatening tone.

“Yeah, why not?” Ron replied fiercely. “I only failed by half an eyebrow and Harry has been able to do it for ages. He even went halfway across the country with Dumble-“

He fell silent. They all looked at the ground. The loss had still not healed in the slightest. It had only been a month ago, after all. Finally after many moments of quiet, Ginny raised her head.

“Well,” she whispered, “we’d better go. Mum is expecting you, and she doesn’t even know that I’m out of bed.”

They put all of their stuff into a neat pile. Hermione flicked her wand and it all disappeared to the Burrow, just as Dumbledore had done only a year before.

“Well, let’s go. Hermione, do you mind if I go with Harry?” Ginny asked politely.

“Not at all! But Harry, you should really write a note to your family. You might not ever see them again.”

“I hope so!” But to Hermione’s stern look he added, “Oh all right.” Harry sighed, snatched up a piece of parchment, and wrote a hasty farewell note.

Dear Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley,
Thanks for everything. Sorry for all the trouble.
Bye.
Your Nephew,
Harry

He placed it on his bed and turned back to his friends.
“Shall we go then?”

They all spread out and prepared for departure. Hermione closed the window so the sounds wouldn’t carry into the night.

“We should take turns. Ron, why don’t you go first?” Hermione stepped back so he would have more space. Ron stood in the middle of the room, eyes closed in pained concentration. For a moment nothing happened, and then...

CRACK! He was no longer there.

“Well, you two should go next. I can stay behind in case anything goes wrong,” said Hermione.

“Nah, you go ahead. We’ll need more room with two people. If there’s no one here it’ll be... er... easier,” Harry said, hoping she had bought it.

“Uh-huh. Sure.” Hermione grinned. Then she stepped forward into the middle of the room and CRACK! She was gone too.

“Ready?” said Harry, looking down at Ginny.

“More than ever,” she replied, smiling up at him.

They stepped forward into the middle of the room. Ginny snaked her arm through his and gripped it firmly.

“Hold on a minute.” Harry took Ginny’s arm and turned her to face him. Then he kissed her: a long, gentle kiss that seemed timeless. When he finally pulled back, he grinned at her.

“You were right. I did miss you.”

She smiled back at him. “I told you so.”

“Yes, but this doesn’t mean this is a good idea. What if-“

“Shh.” She put her finger to his lips. “Let’s just not worry about it. Time to go.” She took his arm again. “Ready?”

“Ready,” Harry replied. “One.... Two.... Three!”

And the turned together into blackness.
Okay, thet was that. That's how I think (and hope) that JKR will do it. Anyway, that whole schpeal was just to say that I agree with you, Hermie122. Another question. What roll do you think Dumbledore's portrait will play in the second book. I have a theory on that, but I'll share it next post.

Cheers!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"And what are Fred and I, next door neighbors?"

[Hermie122]

Wow, that was seriously awesome Ginerva Potter! I hope it will go like that too! That would be so awesome to see Ginny refuse to not be Harry's girlfriend, if you can understand that.

I was wondering about Dumbledore's portrait too. I mean, can portraits give advice? Just something to think about.

Well, I would really like to know your theory!

[potterfan101]

if voldemort finds out that ginny likes harry he could use her again lik COS
but i think that if someone is going to die
one of the weaslys is my guess
but i love all the weaslys
WELL HAV TO WAIT AND SEE

[Ginevra Potter]

Here is what I wrote in the last thread in relation to DD portrait. This is a very vague idea that I have, but it's better than nothing!

As for Dumbledore's portrait, I think that it will help, but in the same manner as the other ones. The portrait will know all about his own life, but more like it's just a bunch of facts he has memorized. He wont be able to recall what he was thinking before he died or anything. Therefore, he will only be able to give very general advice. I do think he will help Harry find the horcruxes, though. Like, if Harry askes him who R.A.B. was, the portrait might say something like, "I believe I was working on that previously. I would suggest you find a book in the library that has something to do with..." and then give a vague description, like "the Daily Prophet in the 1970's" or something. Then Harry, Ron, and Hermione would rush to the library to research it, staying up incredibly late and getting incredibly frustrated by such bland advice. Not exactly that, of course, but something.

Anywho, I hope you understand what I was saying. That's the best way I can explain it, and it's still a little jumbled. Does anyone else have a different theory?

Cheers!

"Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another idea to get us killed. Or worse... expelled!"

[gryffindor_boy]

I think that Harry will die !I don't know why I believe this,but I'm sure that the Harry Potter series won't have a "Happy End".However,JKRowling is the only one who knows !I can't wait to find out

[luckyfish]

Ginevra Potter,
Hello, i have a similiar theory to yours, but i feel that dumbledore should be able to give loads of advice to harry even if he is a portrait. Look at all the other past headmasters and headmistresses, they have helped dumbledore in the past and i am positive that he will help harry in the seventh book just like you said! You have a great point that i wouldn't even have thought of! I have a bad feeling like yourself that ginny might get killed as voldemort might see that she means alot to harry and he will go after her to weaken harry. My mates and i always cum up with different theories and in the end we will just have to see for ourselves. I have a funny feeling that sirius' spirit might be lurking around the hall of prophecy but i could be talken rubbish!

sorry to bore you, just wanted to share my insight on the matter.

Cheers from luckyfish!!!!!

I'm quite sure that Harry will die. But altough I wish that Voldemort will die too, I'm not so sure he will. I belive too that more people close to Harry will die. Ok, I thought so for HBP too, but as this is the last Harry Potter- book ever - or so I belive- it would be in some way stupid, if only Harry would die.
I belive that Ron and Hermione are together in last book. The end of HBP already told it in same way, and if they really go with Harry in Codric Hollow and everywhere else, it would be kinda stupid if they weren't together. But I don't belive that Ginny will be with them. Althoug she and Harry are in love, Harry won't let him come in dangers.

[Hermie122]

I don't think that JKR will make Harry die. I mean, they are the Harry Potter books, so I think that if Harry died, it couldn't be called Harry Potter. Well, we'll have to wait and see!

[Dreama]

well,Harry will die..cause it's better for him..his parents,Sirius, and DD are waiting for him..almost every person that he had loved is dead,and he belongs there..with his friends and family..if he dies,he will be free from everything..from the prophecy,his scar,evil,other deaths..it really wouldn't be fair if he would have to see more dyin' of the people he loves..and Ginny will probably die,so they can be together in heaven..if he stays alive..all he's got is Ginny..and she still goes to school..what is he goin' to do alone,without anyone to point him what should he do next(he's got Weasleys and Lupin,but they're not DD and Sirius )he will probably get a job in MOM..and live like an average wizard.. but what kind of future is that to someone who defeated the greatest wizard in last,I don't know,100 years..he deserves more..that ending is too ordinary and stupid,at least to me..

[Verona]

I am one of those terribly annoying people who is absolutely convinced that Harry will die, and anyone who disagrees with me i usually end up debating them until i'm at wit's end.
First off, although i could see ginny dying, and i don't think it's personal enough. I know what many people think, he's in love with her, it's as personal as you can get. But for me, i think that the most personal person who could die, the person who could really spur harry into trying to kill Voldy is Hagrid. Hagrid's been with him through everything, and I think Voldy's going to kill him as direct personal attack on Harry.
In the end though, I think Harry will be a horcrux, and somehow he's have to kill himself in order to kill voldy, even though I'm not sure how it works. but J.K.R. is a very intelligent writer and I'm sure she'll find a way to figure it out.
I don't think ron and hermione will die, in interviews she seems quite against the idea of them dying. Anyone else i think has a good chance of being killed.
