H-H-R7, hmm very well though out i'd have to see. seems pretty well thought out, i can't wait to findout though !!!

I dont know if anyone has brought this up yet, but i was doing state tests today and i came across an exerpt about romulus and remus, the twins who founded Rome and decided to do some research and these are some things i found interesting.

"One night, however, Mars, the god of war, came to Rhea in the temple of Vesta and raped her. Some say that he took the form of a wolf for the rape. She bore him twin boys of remarkable size and beauty, later named Romulus and Remus."

I don't have to say much about this.

"Romulus and Remus were kept safe by the river deity Tiberinus, who made the cradle catch in the roots of a fig tree growing in the Velabrum swamp, which therefore has a high symbolic significance. He then brought the infant twins up onto the Palatine Hill. There, they were nursed by a wolf, Lupa"

The fig tree could be parallel to the Whomping Willow that kept Remus safe while he was at Hogwarts. And Lupa... Lupin

"At last, Remus leaped across the trench, an omen of bad luck, since this implied that the city fortifications would be easily breached. In response, Remus was killed. The specific Latin phrase detailing Remus' death simply states, in a passive voice, that Remus was dead, without noting either that he was murdered or by whom; he simply 'became dead'. It has long been held that the text implies Romulus murdered Remus"

of course, since Lupin does not have a twin brother (at least not that we know of) this could be the flaw in my theory.

Even still, based on the parallels I think Lupin will be the next death. It is probably far fetched and I am probably being over-analytical and its probably just a coincidence. Then again, since when has JKR been big on coincidences?

By the way, here's my source.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romulus_and_Remus

I`m not so sure,but i have to say my opinion.So i thought that Harry would die,but now i`m not so sure.
I expect something more *crazy* or probably *tragic*.
I`m not sure that j.k will kill harry,or if will do it,harry will not be the only that will die...


he`s preparing as a surprinse ...hope i`m not wrong
sincer i saw harry potter 3 i knew that j.k is thinking to kill harry,but now i hope he`s more creative ..and original...

I don't think Harry will die... I hope so. If he does, please tell me what's the point??? he's the most important character... and people all around the world love him! :-)
I think lupin or another one from the order will die, maybe Moody.
Or also Ginny, as someone said, could die.

woah the research you did HP'sPrincessFiona, is well done i give you kudos. Anyways I think its kind of to planned out you know what i mean ?
But it would be locigcal, hm i guess will have to see.
I just keep pondering over everything that could happen , I think of all these different scenerios aha !

I have heard the Lupin theory before and i think it does have merit in fact that is the one reason i think there is even the smallest possibility that Remus might die other than that i really don't think it will happen. Maybe if we had been introduced to a Romulus i would be worried but we haven't. Maybe its just me not willing to believe Remus could die.

Right, I'm afraid I really don't think Harry will die - although I could be very drastically wrong ... You see, in one interview when they asked her something about killing off Harry, JKR said she really admired authors who killed their main characters - she thought it was a very brave thing to do, or something. Now, if she was planning to kill off Harry, that would be a pretty arrogant thing to say - this was a pretty recent interview, so she would have known what was happening in Book 7.

Plus (this is partly my dad's theory, but I agree with him), JKR is an excellent writer (I think we all agree) and although her books are not read exclusively by children, they were originally aimed at kids. So, bearing that in mind, killing off main characters is not something that children's books do - characters that are around the main one die, but not the main character (or very rarely anyway).

Lastly, JKR has a very strong sense of good and evil in her books, and the idea of good triumphing over evil. So this seems to lead to the theory that Harry will not die, but Voldemort will.

However, I have no doubt that some people close to Harry will, although not Ron of Hermione - I keep the same reasoning as for Harry. My bets are on Lupin, at th moment, as the next death, although I think Hagrid may die as well.

My reasoning for Lupin is that since Hogwarts, all the Marauders have met horrible fates (well, Lupin hasn't really yet - he was a werewolf at Hogwarts too) - James and Sirius have been murdered by Dark Wizards [Voldemort and Bella] - although I admit that I'm not sure whether Sirius is definitely dead (I wrote bit in the Department of Mysteries on this) - and Wormtail is trapped in servitude to Voldemort, which, you have to admit, isn't exactly pleasant So the only Marauder left is Moony, so I think he will be a casualty (*sniff*). I think the Marauders have this fate sort of to show that with great courage and goodness (is that a word?) comes great pain and sacrifice.

I think Hagrid will die too though, becasue remembering his devotion to Dumbledore, and the trust Dumbledore placed in him, I think he will be in despair after Dumbledore's death (I know there's a theory that Dumbledore will come back - but then I think Hagrid will die protecting him if this happens - 'I would trust Hagrid with my life' - Dumbledore) that he will get reckless and not care about being hurt or killed anymore, and will end up either dying in a revenge attack for Dumbledore or protecting Harry, Ron and Hermione, or other Order members.

Gosh, I said a lot, didn't I?

Draco Malfoy is main enough of a character, is he? I think he will die in order to do retribution. Dumbledore talked to him a lot at the tower and it is possible that he was touched, repented and would want to make up for all evil he has done. It is also very evident from HBP that he is not entirely evil as he was not able to kill Dumbledore. I guess it would be in the form of a sacrifice for Harry (or for Snape, or for Hermione ). Of course, I'm hoping the other one would be Voldemort.

I'm sorry, but I don't see Draco dying - going to Azkaban, maybe, or turning good. I can see the thing about him repenting and all, but I don't think he has the guts to die for his cause. But I still love him

That's not the point though! I think if any of the kids die, it'll probably be a Weasley or few, maybe Tonks (yah, I know she's not a kid) or someone really good - like Cedric was .... RIP Cedric

Hey!

Just to say, I'm brand new, so sorry if I cause any problems, just let me know.

And I think Hagrid dies, and also snape.

WingzofDoom, i like your 'theroy' of deaths i dont have much to say but i do indeed like reading people's theory, i still think harry will die for some reason and it might have to do with his scar.
but i think that all book will have a connection though , so it makes sense.
I don't...

At first I thought that Lupin might die, but then I had to change my mind. The reason for this is, besides Mr. Weasley, Lupin is the closest thing to a father Harry has. Lupin know more about James than any other character does. Mr. Weasley already has too many children to comfort after the war (if he survives) and if Harry lives, he is going to need someone there for him and I think Lupin will fit just fine.

Or, this could just be me really not wanting Lupin to die talking

I might have posted on here before but that would have been a while so i quess my view may have changed.

I firmly beleive that first of Harry will not die! It's like with Rose in Doctor who Ruseel.t.Daveis ( Head Producer, writer.) Said he never had any intention of killing her off. I think it will be the same with J.K i dopubt Harry will be killed.

On to who will die. Some members of the minister. Sadly i think Neville. Moody and a two more main characters. Like hmm. I think that Ron could be for the chop. But i think no matter what Hermione will survuie i have a gut instinct. I think yeah Ron will die.

Idk, i really don't see Ron dying. I mean, i understand that he would be an ideal character to die, because it would add an intense emotional struggle. But I've always thought (and this is probably extremely cliche of me) that the trio would make it through to the end having triumhped over every struggle that has been thrown at them. I think that killing off Ron would hurt the chemistry of the book as well as make Harry and Hermione incredibly vulnerable. They are definitely the strongest as a whole, and if Ron dies, they will lose a lot of strength that cannot be replaced and that is vital to the final battle.

I think Neville is also a prime candidate to be killed. And i would not at all be surprised if he does this avenging his parents or saving Harry. He has shown a lot of loyalty to Harry throughout the books, especially in the department of ministry scenes and i think that may have foreshadowed that his loyalty would show in book 7, this time putting him in severe danger. Here's my theory, do we know why Neville's parents were tortured into insanity? I know they refused to give the death eaters information, but what was the information? Personally, i think they refused to give information on the Potters' location (not as if they could, considering they weren't the secret keeper and didn't know in the first place) or just general information concerning them. I think a similar situation will occur in the 7th book. He will refuse to give death eaters information concerning Harry and they will use the Cruciatus Curse on him. But we've seen Neville capable of fighting, and I think that he will fight it, not only to survive, but to make his Grandmother proud of him and to avenge his parents. However, I see it coming down to the fact that he doesn't have the heart to kill and will, therefore, be killed. But he will die as a hero.

And to what April said about Lupin being a father figure to Harry and knowing a lot about James. That is perfectly true, which is why I think he has to die. Didn't JKR say that she wanted Harry to make it through to the final battle by himself, without a gaurdian, and that is why Sirius and Dumbledore were killed? Even if she didn't say it, I definitely think that reasoning is legitimate and I think the only help Harry will take with him to the end is Ron and Hermione. Lupin's taught Harry his share. He taught him how to keep sight of all that is good and it will defend you against evil (patronus). He taught him that with confidence, laughter, and good humor you can conquer any fear (ridikulous). I don't believe that Lupin has much more to teach and i think he has already played his role. We didn't really see much of him in the fourth, fifth, and sixth books and I think that it was because he is not really an essential character anymore. Yes, Harry still looks up at him and he continues to influence and encourage him. But I think he paid his dues and IMHO he will be one of the deaths of the final book.

i love jsut coming here and readig what peoples opions are, does anyone else, i especially like the ones that are like woah that totally makes sence omgomg what if that does happen HAHHAH anyone get what i mean ?

I say one of the Weasley's will die. That clock that Mrs. Weasley has have to be very important as it seems that almost every book seem to mention it. Especially in Book 2, Book 5 and Book 6 where everyone is in mortal peril.

I can say that I highly doubt if it's Percy. As much as I don't like him, I don't think he's going to die. Not Ron or Ginny either. For the reason that I see them having a happy ending. Not the two older brothers because they don't play a big enough role.

Which means...It's one of the twins (or both) and it makes sense as they do not live at home anymore. They live in Diagon alley. A lot can happen there! And they're twins. JK might feel that losing one will not be that big of a deal since there's still the other.

The other might be Hagrid. Or Snape. But I think that Snape is already considered dead. So he doesn't really count. I mean, if he's good (Which I think he is.) He will probably die. If he's bad, all the more reason that he dies. So either way. He dies.

Hagrid because he'll probably protect someone.

well i was reading an interview with jk rowling, but they didn't state the exact wording of what she said excep for one part..just look below..

Asked which five of her characters she would like to invite to dinner, she chose Harry, Hermione and Ron, but then hesitated before choosing her last characters, saying "See... I know who's actually dead", unsure whether she was permitted to invite those who are 'dead'.

See?that means that harry,ron,and hermione are not dead.cuz she chose them but was hesitating on who to choose for the rest cuz she didnt know if she could invite those who are dead...i also read on her website that she was aked who is her favorite new character...she said luna lovegood.wouldn't rowling have invited lovegood if she was her favorite new character?i think so..i also think that neville will also die to sacrifice himself for harry..i dunno know..
but about the interview about who she would invite to dinner..what if she was not tellling the truth..you know..she could do that..but i doubt it..but how could she finish off the potter books without killing harry,ron,or hermione cuz people could still write books about harry and stuff after she dies or sumthing..oh i'm confusing myself!!

i alo think that maybe sum of the weaslys may die...or maybe snape or one of the order of the phoenix members, but as for ginny..no cuz harry will marry ginny!!

I think that sadly Hagrid will die.

DD said that the dementors and giants would join Voldemort. We already have seen the dementors attack Harry and let Voldemort's followers escape Azkaban. Since DD was right about them he was probably right about the giants. Since Hagrid is a half-giant, they might want him to join Voldemort or else... death.

I think firstly, we should ask who got the reprieve (according to jkr)?

That would probably not be one who dies in Deathly Hallows. The person who got the reprieve, I think, was Mr. Weasley. She probably had him die in the DoM, but then thought better. He would certainly have fit the pattern of parental figures dying (or big brothers, in the case of Cedric), but would have been too heartbreaking to the reader and disrupted the flavor of the Weasley clan.

Snape must die for the 6 book build up to work. Whether he does so snivelling or as a hero remains to be seen. SHe has taken sigificant plot time having the Snape/Harry conflict come to a head for it to not take a twist, and have them reach some understanding of sorts. Harry will find out why Dumbledore trusts Snape only too late.

Voldemort must die. Good must destroy evil. No explanation needed here.

Neville seems a likely candidate as well. He has been described by too many as inept, and by his grandmother as not being cut from the same cloth as his noble parents. Maybe he does them one better after all.

Draco must not, or it makes Dumbledore's sacrifice moot. HE must be redeemable.

The introduction of Grawp could signal the death of Hagrid. He basically passes the torch to Hermione to carry for Grawp.

She has also used significant build up for Ginny and Harry to kill Ginny off.

Okay I definitely have my hunches on who's going to die but I hope I am wrong and everyone makes it (He he sarcasm).

Snape: I think Snape has played his part well but has gotten himself in to deep to come out alive. Either Voldemort will kill him for being good or Harry (or the Order) will kill him for being bad.

Besides JK has said he wants Harry to come out to the final battle alone although I don't know what exactly that could mean. If that were true than she would have to kill off Ron and Hermione which I definitely do not think will happen. I think that Harry will leave leave Ron and Hermione lost somewhere so that JK words that Harry must fight alone can come true otherwise I do not see how that will work??

Lupin: I think Lupin will unfortunately die. He also has played his role. He infiltrated the werewolf camp to try and persuade some to come to the good side but I think Greyback wil finish the job.

Percy: I don't think he is going to die but I would like him to He is as obnoxious and self centered as some people I know and I totally hate it. Even when he was wrong he does not have the guts to admitted and just say sorry. He's a bad looser who will end up bad because of relating with the Ministry.

Neville: I think in general all those that fought alongside Harry in the MoM in OOTP are in danger because the death eaters and Voldemort will consider those to be Harry's closest allies.

Hagrid: He is too attached to Harry and I fear for his life very much. I think his brother might protect him though.l

Well, I'm not particularly clear on the 'two characters' thing, I'm not sure if she explicitly stated 'two characters will die' or if it was more 'two characters will die that I wasn't planning on'

That behind us, I think it's the second one.

I think that Hagrid is going to die, easily. I don't think poor widdle Hagger will make it. And, I also think that either Ron or Hermionie will die, leaving the other distraught. Not sure which, I can't pinpoint it. Hmm. I'd hazard a guess at Ron.

I think a couple of minor characters will die, namely Dean, he'll find out about his dad and die, and Lavender or Parvati. And Florean Fortescue. Other than that, there probably will be deaths here and there.

...

i think she meant that there will be two significant deaths, deaths that will affect Harry directly. Of course there are going to be deaths here and there, as its a war. So I definitely agree that it probably won't just be two deaths in the entire book, but I think she was implying that only two significantly influential characters will die.

I just read the interview itself, she says 'two characters will die that I didn't intend to die'

So, I suppose that two characters are going to die that she originally hadnt planned on. So, I think there may even be more than 2 significant deaths.

It's all very rosy, ain't it.

Well if you ask me, McGonigal (sp?) has to die.

I cant say I have a reason, but it just seems to fit.

Critisize all you want, but I have a feeling that McGonigal will be axed.

Well Vampire-Lips, I have to agree. I don't see Professor McG making it. She's already a bit weak, and shes a bit old, though not by witch standards. And, as headmistress of hogwarts (I wish they'd just use Principal ) she is going to be a prime target.

*waves*

[b][color=#993399]I believe for some reason that Hermione will die... it's just something different and not alot of people would expect it since she is so smart and would probably know what to do in the face of danger... however, she has shown that she can be weak and might not be able to survive the tragedy that is of the second war against He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named...

I also agree that Professor McGonagall might not make it also...she has also shown weakness in a previous book.....also I don't think that Neville will die...in my opinion he will kill Bellatrix Lestrange since she damaged him more for what she did to his parents...

Due to my own bias, I don't think Ron nor Hermione will die. Actually, I just don't want them to. Harry has lost everyone else in his life, it would be so cruel to take away his best friend(s).

For me its inbetween Mr./Mrs. Weasley, Snape, and Harry. I think there will be a Weasley casuality. It makes me really sad, but there are SO many of them and so many of them are main characters its hard not to see it happening.

Hmm Ive just had a thought, nevile seems important but not really mabey neville REALLY is the one voldemort feared would bring his down fall. And I think that would be an unexpected turn!

lol nevielle get revenge on his parents is an interesting theroy, it also be hilarious to see lol, i cant wait and love reading these to see if ANY one is even right.

As far as I can remember J.K. Rowling said that two characters who originally intended to live will now die while one character got a reprieve.
She never said that only two characters will die, I reccon it will be more, after all they are fighting a war.

For me the two characters that die, that she's refering too are:
Ginny and Lupin.

Ginny will die protecting Harry just like is mother did for him (lets not forget she looks so much like harry's mother anyway).
Harry want's to protect her from harm but she's very headstrong and I'm sure she wouldn't take a backseat just because Harry tells her too.

Lupin will most likely die at the hands of Greyblack probably while protecting Tonks.

As for other character that will die I'm definitely gonna say Harry (Sacrifice), Snape (killed by Voldermort) and I'm also pretty sure that Voldermort will die too (simply because it wouldn't make sense if he lived)

I highly doubt that Ron or Hermoine will die purely because there as to be some main character that survive.

Character that got the reprieve; Draco.
(Snape will sacrifice himself for Draco) he did promise Narcissa that no harm would come to her son.

My guesses:

Lupin = Maybe protecting Tonks or something, but I just have the feeling he'll probably die.

Wormtail = Helping Harry or something similar - still has the debt to repay.

McG = Old, getting weaker, and now in a position of power as Headmistress. Certainly three things that all lead to her death.

Harry + Voldy = I think both will die - Harry sacrafcing himself, Voldemort because, well, he's the villain.

Hagrid = I've had the feeling he'd die for a few books now, but I can certainly see him dying early on in the last book - fueling Harry even further.

I believe that Snape will die.Towards the end.Fighting against Voldemort(hopefully) or sacrificing his life for Harry.Obviously I think that he is on the good side but somehow he has to pay for taking away Dumbledore's life.And it will make everyone believe that he never betrayed D.

Ok dokie, here come the guesses a.k.a. things I think are logical for weird reasons

I don't think Harry will die... nope, don't care, no way, he can't and end of subject.
Neither will Ron or Hermie.

Neville wont die, he will battle with Bellatrix, he'll get the upper hand, show mercy and she'll be back in prison baby, oh yeah! Nevilles too sweet to kill and he would be showing a greater nerve than her by letting her live!

Based on a weird theory that I read and really liked I think that Hagrid is a goner (has to do with Slughorns living room and there's a topic on it that I did). Ummm, I don't want him to die I just can easily see it happen. Just imagine though, if he's there until the end and then finally gets taken down by the DE's... he woud take so many out and he'd have to be really outnumbered as his giants blood helps protect him against spells! Him sacrificing himself to help Harry get to V, that would be perfect and such a noble way for him to go! I would cry so hard I'd need a man size box of tissues!

I also think that Trelawny might die, as she's now unprotected from the DE's, or less protected then when DD was around.

How about this... Petunia dies protecting Harry and her Diddums! Well, not protecting so much as buying them time. It's a possibility and it could be the suprising thing about Petunia (which I don't think has anything to do with DD as he hadn't actually met her properly until HBP).

My only other thought is that someone providing light or hope to either Harry or the wizarding world is going to kick it. So either Harry, which I obviously don't want, or maybe Ginny or Mrs. Weasley (noooo!).

So who lives that wasn't originally meant to? I think it could be Draco. Rowling has said that she's really started to like and relate to Draco during HBP. Could be an interesting factor. Maybe Snape hides Draco from V or something, I don't know. I just can't imagine what would happen if Draco goes back to V. Snape would be fine but Draco would surely be a goner. Hmmmmm. Well, this post has atleast wasted a half hour of my time so, how long is it tell the book comes out again? Oh, another 74 days... Gee. Whiz. I'm going to go crazy until then. So do excuse random rants if they happen

I agree completely with the person before me(sorry I didn't look at your name). I just have one addition:Ginny. I don't want it to happen but it will. Harry will be battling Voldemort and will lose his wand or something like that and fall down. Voldemort will fire a killing curse at Harry but Ginny will take the hit for him. Voldemort will take Harry's moment of shock and fire another killing curse at him and it will rebound because Ginny's sacrifice will leave the love protection and Voldy will be no more.

Hermione for me.I dont wanna say it,but she'll die.She's a muggle-born,one of Harry's best friends,and,if Snapes truely on the D.E side,he'll tell Voldy about her smarts.I think She'll be ....i dont wanna say it...killed by either Bellatrix or Malfoy.(draco,that is)
I also think that Authur Weasley will die.Hes a "blood-traitor"and wil die protecting his family,probably by Lucius Malfoy.I think something will happen during the wedding.A lot of wizards and witches in one spot,with attacks everywhere and Voldemort and the D.E murderous,a war will brake out there.
So,Reprieve:Ron,his loyalty to Harry.Can't go past it.
Deaths:Hermione and Authur.

~Nitwit.Blubber.Oddment.Tweak

you know, i think i remember reading something about that. Alot of people thought it was overanalyzing, but i think whoever came up with it knew exactly what they were talking about. Symbolism is everywhere in these books and I applaud the person who drew parallels from this scene. It really is a good theory, and I don't think that overanalyzing is possible in literature.



While this is a good theory, I disagree. JKR has said that she wishes Harry to face LV alone. This is why she killed Sirius and Dumbledore off, Harry will never truly succeed if he's constantly protected by others. It's his job and only his job to defeat LV if he acts on the prophecy, which as we saw in HBP he has finally accepted that. That being said, I think his final battle will be one on one with LV, no DE's, no friends, no gaurdians.. just the two of them. I honestly don't think that anyone else will envoke a love protection on Harry, because I think JKR was emphasizing that loving someone enough to die for them takes so much strength and courage that it isn't an everyday thing. If anyone can do it, it defeats the significance of it. I'm not saying that no other character could do it, because there are plenty left who would, but I don't think that anyone else will because it takes away the vastness and intensity of Lily's love for her son and I think the other characters will show their love in different ways.

As I have previously mentioned I believe that Lupin and Neville are prime characters to fall. But recently I've also began to think that Snape will die. Now that everyone believes him to be loyal to LV, it will not be easy to prove that he is loyal to DD (if, indeed, he is). I think the only way to truly prove this will be through an extreme sacrifice: his life. Maybe he will die fighting LV, saving Harry or Draco, or in battle against the DE's.

In my opinion quite a few main characters will die in the books:

Harry and Voldemort- I always thought that Harry would die being a hero and Voldemort is going
to have to die.

Wormtail - I know that Wormtail is going to die but I don't know how - either he is going to
protect Harry and die because he is in debt to Harry or otherwise Harry will kill him.

Snape - I think that Snape will be killed by some member of the Order in revenge for DD's death.

Hagrid - I have had this feeling that Hagrid is going to die for a long time and I thought that he
was going to be the one who would die in HBP. I think that slowly everyone who cares
for Harry has been killed and and Hagrid is probably the person who is the most
parently figure to him now.

I am rather preferring that the only one left will be Ron and Hermione. Harry and Voldy will die and the rest of the OOTP will die in combat to save Harry. Snape will die but will become a ghost and chased and teased by Peeves. Hagrid will not die but relocate to a nice location in the mountains to creat a new half-giant colony with Madam Maxime... of course all the children will be born with beards. OH, and of course Fang will never leave Hagrid.

Hagrid Harry and Voldemort and many other side characters that they read from the paper i am guessing. Professor McGonagall as well.

Sadly I think Harry's gonna die. I think Harry AND Voldemort will die. J.K doesn't want anyone to continue the serius so she'll kill Harry. But I don't think she wants the ending to be too sad so that's why I think Harry and Voldy will die. I don't think Ron or Hermione's gonna die.

Ok so this seriously just hit me. I'm not sure if this one counts exactly, but I am now convinced, but not happy, that Dobby will die. If you think about it, JKR has laid this one out perfectly, Dobby seems so willing to do anything for Harry, so I would not at all be surprised if Dobby dies protecting Harry.

wel that's...thinking positively?

i think that hagrid's going to die. for tons of reasons.
1. He's Harry's last parental figure
2. His death was foreshadowed in HBP in slughorn's house when everything is wrecked. It says that the Grandfather clock (possibly Dumbledore) was on the floor all broken with its pendulum laying beside it (the locket?) and the grand piano (Hagrid) was also broken.
3.Hagrid was the first wizard that Harry really met

HARRY CAN'T DIE IN HIS OWN BOOK! THATS NOT FAIR!!

I the questions is who will die in the final battle, then I am going to plump for Voldemort and two others that JKR says she didn't intend to kill. Probably Snape and another main character like Neville. But, if the question is who will die at the end of the book, I will have to give the answer Harry.

JKr said ages ago that she would tie off all ends in the final book so that no-one could come along at a later date and write another Harry Potter book, this is how I think she is going to do it.

There will be the big final battle yes. Harry and Co will be glorious and live. The book will end with JKR telling us what happens to Harry and co. What they did with their lives such as marriage, children, jobs etc. Then Harry will grow old and die.......the end.

Who will die ... well, i don't like to think about it a lot, but i have a feeling that it'll be Voldemort and Neville.

Voldemort, because, well, he has to die. If he stays alive, then he's just going to go and take over the rest of the world and kill anyone who stops him. No author would do that to her highly successful book series.

Neville ... i dunno why. Really, i have no clue. But he always seemed like a vanurale character and important enough for it to have an impact (A very big impact if you ask me-i love him) and seriously, i don't want him to die, i reakon he should find a magical cure to heel his parents via Herbology skills and he can live in OBHLF (one big happy Longbottom family).

But ... yeah. *sigh*

Somehow i don't think Harry will die. I know he has a high chance of him dieing and probably will, but i honestly don't see him dieing, can't imagine him dieing, and quite frankly, i don't think he will.



I certainly hope not-Hagrid is one of my favourite characters. But i heard the forshadowing of the piano theory and hope it's not true.

JK has said that two major characters will die. That is why I think that once all the horcruxes are gone that Harry will take LV with him through the veil at the department of mysteries. I think the cover art hints to an out come along those lines.

i do not think that nevil will die, i think that ::
draco is most likley going to die, becuase SERIOUSLY! he did NOT kill dumbledor, snape did. even if he did, i think voldemorts TRUE intentions were for him to die, because he was mad at lucious.
i also think that molly and author might die, i know that it is sad to think about, but jo said that she killed of two people that she did not intend, her husband even siad "NO NOT THAT ONE" to one of the characters. and i think that she seems to be (or voldemort) seems to be killing of any one harry feels is a parental figure to him, i dont know if this is on purpose, but look at the past. first his parents then sirius, then dumbledor, i mean maybe even hagrid might die. im not sure about nevil dieing though, he might KILL belatrix la strange (different topic though) ?!?!

I have no clue who will die, i hust hope it's not hermione cause i really love her. If i had to make a prediction i think it will be a member from the order, like tonks, they might feel they have to put their life on the line to save harry.

hey ,

I really hope harry won't die cause that would be to sad . see it this way , the guy hasn't had much luck in his life , had he ? first his parents end up killed . then he has to go and live with the dursleys . the moment he starts believing he might be rid of the dursleys because he could go and live with sirius , sirius dies . and then the person he trust the most of all , the one person he really looks up to also dies ( DD) . this all becaus of voldemort !
I think harry should survive voldemort and be able to leave voldemort behind him and start a nice life ^^
what we know is that there will be a lot of deaths 2 main characters included
so who could end up killed => everyone
but i'm scared that it would be mrs weasley she's like a real mother to harry . but this would be terrible , al those weasley kids would be without their mum and that's not something you want for anybody :s
i hope voldemort will die ( who not )
i'm also scared that neville , ron or hermoine will die
actually im scared for almost all characters , i just don't like reading the parts were people good people get killed cause I think that's really sad ( and I'm just a happy ever after person )
the last chapter of the book will be about what the characters do in the rest of their lifes , so I think if voldemort survives this is clearly war war war . so who would end a book with a never ending war ^o) that would be horrible so I hope that doesn't happen
can't even imagine how it would be to life somewhere where's no love and people got do die because of origine , and not of who they are . that's like going back to world war 2 that was like that then it was you're jewish , you ought to die . then it would be/ is you're no pureblood you must die
horrible thought i think
so thats why I think / hope voldemort will die and harry survive but their will be sacrifices and i'm just scared for mrs weasley , nevill and lupin . he's the only marauder ( who isn't bad ) still alive . so maybe all four ( thinking that wormtail also will die (and he diserves it )) of the marauders will be dead by the end of the book 7 .

This is my thoery of the deaths LV will die because harry sacrifices himself as an act of love maybe for ginny and because he does this and is connected to LV by his scar this will kill LV as LV has harrys blood in him but sadly harry will go to (boo hoo) i also think Hagrid will die as he is another parent figure to harry and they havent got a very good record have they. Neville will get killed by sum DE after he kills or sends bellatrix insane retrobution for his parents. ron and hermione will survive because DD wanted more love in the world and love will be needed top repair all LVs damage i also think snape will as he is evil and sum member of the order will kill him as revenge for DD the reprive will come to Draco as he proved he cudnt kill DD and JK sed she had grown fond of Draco during HBP well thats about it tell me if you agree of disagree

i think that someone close to harry will die, i hope its not harry.... i think it will be either ron, hermionie, ginny, or hagrid. i just have a feeling that these are the likely candidates because they are so close to harry, so voldemort might want to kill them.
