I think next time she has an interview, we should ask her that question. Is Sirius still alive?. We should also ask that about Dumbledore, aswell. I agree with you 'LizzieJO2', they're a lot of theories to think about.

I believe that the final battle in the 7th book will have hp and voldemort facing off with snape being there also. With all of the twists JKR throws at all of us I believe that Snape will kill Voldemort and actually help harry out, because it is a little weird that Snape has had all of these opportunities to kill Harry and has saved him. SNAPE KILLS VOLDY

To 'rockermybaby',
J.K Rowling said there will be only seven books, so she will have to fit all of that in one book! I hope it is really big.

i think ron and hermione will be married for sure. i think bill and fleur might break it off only because their love was pretty rushed due to voldys return. hagrid will still be in full service to hogwarts and neville surely will teach herbology! fred and george might make enough money from their joke shop so that the weasleys arent poor anymore. all will remember harry potter as the boy who lived and saved them from evil.

I pretty much agree with everything everyone has said...except for one thing.

I think that Voldemort will take Harry down with him. so both of them will die. Im not sure if dumbledore is dead or not but i know that in some way he will help harry. i also think that ginny, hermione, and ron will support harry throughout the battle and stay with him to the end. and then of course ron and hermione will get together.

I think Sirius and Dumbledore are dead as door nails. I think that Bill and Fluer truely love eachother and will get married. I think that when Ron and Hermione get married, they'll both work, but once they have kids, Ron will stay home and Hermione will be the one who works. And I see the final fight at Hogwarts, and I think Harry will win and live.

[COLOR=red]I've got 2 possebileties:
Harry dies together with Voldemort. Ron and Hermione will defenitly get married. I have no idea what Ginny will do.
The other one is that Harry survives. Ron and Hermione will also get married and Harry will marry Ginny. They will all live happy together after all without all those adventures.

I prefer the last one, but anything could happen in the end. It's all up to Jo.[COLOR=red]

That is a good idea, 'Amyrat151', that if Ron and Hermione get married, Hermione will be the one that works, and Ron will stay home and look after the kids.

Voldemort will die. DUH!!!! lol

I believe Harry will win in the end over Voldemort without dieing himself. In book 6 I remember after DD first lesson with Harry, DD asked Harry if he felt sorry for Riddle. I believe in a way Harry will have to have some sort of love for Riddle. Like pity on him or something.

This would be something Voldemort would feel, Harry's love, and something voldemort knows nothing about.

Okay! Here is my altimate ending. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, Luna, and Draco(yes Draco) have found and destroyed all the remaining horcruxes. Then Harry and the gang go hunting for Voldemort and his Death Eaters. Of course they find them and they start fighting. The gang is losing but all of the sudden the remaining members of the Order show up to help Harry and the rest. The people all seem to pair up and of course Harry is fighting Voldemort. Now people are dieing left and right. Harry fires off a spell to finish off Voldemort. Hit hits(real anticlimatic like). The dust settles and the only people left alive are Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and a couple others but I don't know who they will be. That is my altimate ending. Bad I know but it is the best I can do. I may think of something better later on but for now here it is.

All things concidered, I don't think Harry will die. I'm not saying that there will be a *happy ending* its just I don't think she'd do it. Imagine the international uprorar if she did.

On the subject of Harry killing Voldemort I think it'd be cool if Harry killed him using a muggle method, like by shooting him. It would add to the drama plus provide proof that being a wizard makes you no better than anyone else (a huge theme in the books).

Hey!! ok here´s my theory guys...
I believe that Harry is a horcrux (or maybe only his scar, dunno) so, in the end he will have to face Voldy and kill him, but he will have to die with him...
But WAIT. It may have a happy ending after all. As Harry will sacrifice himself because of LOVE, (which is the great Power Voldemort cannot understand) he will live!!!

Oh and i´m really looking forwards to Bill and Fleur´s wedding... and to Ron and Hermione be finally together... and still dunno what will happen with Snape what do you think?

Wow, that was seriously awesome Ginerva Potter i enjoyed reading that seriously. it was so sweet, wow, i'm blown away!

This is my theory:
Voldemort is much powerful wizard than anyone else and it will be difficult to kill him even without Horcruxes. Harry in future maybe (if he'll survive) will be great wizard but not now - he is to young. And then, all Horcuxes have vey strong defense. So I think that RAB will destroy all Horcruxes, and Harry will fight with Voldemort. And as I said he is much powerfull than Harry. But his weak point is that he is evil, and about his evilness he will make some mistake. And then story will be as it was in "Lord of the Rings" where Gorlum helped Frodo to destroy the ring. So I think that Piter Pettigrew will somehow kill Voldemort. And die with his master. And maybe Harry will be close to death but love to Ginny, and his friends will save him. And all everyone will be happy, and story ands by words
"And just one thing, that reminded Harry about terrible things that took place in past, was his SCAR"
PS (Please sorry for my language, I'm trying)

Yeah ... That sounds interesting , I enjoyed reading that!

Here's my take.

At the start of the book, the Ministry of Magic is stunned, floundering, because of Dumbledore's death. Deloris Umbrage runs for Minister of Magic, telling a lot of viscious lies, and maybe even using false arrests and assassinations to claw her way to the top.

The Order of the Phoenix is also in trouble. McGonagal, Moody, and Snape each insist that they are now in charge, and DD left instructions that Snape was the one to take over command. But, of course, no-one trusts him, and Lupin wants to kill him.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione are practically under house arrest at Hogwarts.

To continue:

Harry, Ron, and Hermione are practically under house arrest at Hogwarts. This is about the only thing everyone in power can agree on. McGonagal and Moody want them guarded, and the Ministry has posted 3 aurors, including Tonks, who follow them around in shifts and actually sleep in the Gryffindore dorms.

Tonks keeps them posted. The ministry has issued an order for Snape's arrest.

I think the idea of Harry, Ron and Hermoine being tailed in school is an idea i thought about as well. I thought the idea that R.A.B destroying all the hocruxes is good. However (not saying that it is), if Regulus is R.A.B than that would be almost impossible and harry and company would have to destroy them. Anyway, if Bill does teach he can help them destroy the hocruxes and Harry will go after Voldermort. But you are right, Harry is not as powerful enough to take on Voldermort by dueling. However, Harry is a true Gryffindor and Voldermort is a true slytherin. I think that the veil is going to make another appearance and I think that Harry will somehow have to get Voldermort in there (pushing him or whatever), whole body and soul. Basically, I really want Harry to win over Voldermort. But Harry does think more along the lines of Mad Eye Moody when it comes to unforgiveable Courses (except for the Cruciatus Curse), that he would not use the Killing Course for any reason. Just a thought though.

Of course Harry will win! How ever Harry will not be an Aurore but a Dark Arts Teacher. Since, he proved to be an effective teacher and it also allows him to stay near his favorate place. Also with Voldermorts passing the curse will be lifted. However the reason I put this idea here is following. I think the next Dark Art Teacher (for book 7) will be Voldermort who will disguise himself to reenter Hogwarts. With Dumbledore's passing he can now risk the entry to Hogwarts. Three importants reason to enter Hogwarts first to penetrate the ancient magic in the castle, second his horocux in the castle and third to kill Harry Potter. Yes, Harry will be back because "Dumbledore will" will ask him to do that. Since, Dumbledore is resting inside Hogwarts his presence there will magical extent protection to Harry. This in turn will help set a showdown with Harry and Voldermort inside Hogwarts. Whenever I reread the books 1-6 I realize a log of things are interconnected and they are presented for a reason. I would like to hear other people view on my two prophecies:
1. Harry will in future be the Dark Art Teacher
2. A diguised Voldermort will be Dark Arts Teacher for book 7

I also thought about Voldermort teaching defense against the dark arts. It is a really good idea. I also agree that the final battle will occur in Hogwarts. As you said many things are interlinked in the books. It is a good theory. I like the thought of Harry teaching defense against the dark arts. However, one of the things that harry and snape have in common is the fact that they favor their houses. Snape always gave leniency to the slytherins and harry will inadvertantly be lenient to the Gryffindors. I still think he will be an auror or will at least try to become an auror. However, if he cannot become an auror I guess he would teach at hogwarts.

This is how I think Harry will defeat Voldemort:

I believe Harry—with lots of help from The Order, his friends, & possibly DD's portrait—will find all the remaining horcruxes and destroy them. I think he'll then continue on his way to finding Voldemort and when he does I think it'll be more of a fight between their minds and souls rather than a duel using wands....

I think because Harry is so young and thus inexperienced with the world of magic, he will resort—literally—to using the power of love that resides in him to possibly possess, or use occlumency to destroy Voldemort. Since we know that Voldemort cannot stand to be possessed by a soul so pure and full of love, I think there's a great possibility that if Harry possessed Voldemort—or was able to get into his mind—and stay there for as long as he could, I think he'd end up killing Voldemort. The only problem is that that could kill Harry because in OOTP when Voldemort possessed Harry, Harry felt like he was surely dead, and even DD was frightened Harry might have been hurt (or killed), so there's a great possibility Harry might die in the process. He might not though — he might be strong enough to do it and pull through in the end, which I'm hoping he will.

Overall, I think him using his mind to destroy Voldemort is a very logical ending since we know a duel would be fairly pointless, and I doubt Harry would resort to using AK anyway.

And of course, after Voldemort is defeated, I think the remaining characters will live happily ever after (as cliche as that sounds). If Harry survives, I think there's a great chance he'd be made a top Auror, since he actually defeated the greatest dark wizard of all time. Hermione may become a teacher, and Ron might work in the ministry like his father (although not in the same field). For some reason I could also see Ron becoming a excellent quidditch player, just because it would be a dream come true for him, and a bit ironic since he wasn't the best when he was on the team at school.

I notice that about ginny ans well. Seven is a reoccuring number in the books. Maybe ginny will end up helping Harry more than he thinks that she will. Something tells me that Lily worked in the Dept. of Mysteries as an unspeakable or something like that. I know it seems unlikely, but it was just a thought I had. I just think that there is much more to Lily than we know. I highly doubt it was anything evil seeing as how JKR debunked the rumor that Lily was a death eater. Whatever Lily and James' professions were (Auror, unspeakable, teacher), I think that harry would follow in one or both of there footsteps.

There are seven of each of these:

hocruxes
Harry Potter Books
Weasley Children (Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, George, Ron, Ginny)
Ginny is the first girl in seven generations (in the weasley family)
years at Hogwarts take your NEWT's
Harry's birth month

This is all I can remember at the moment. But I think I prove my point.

i do ot want the end to come.....but i think that several main people will die but......i think that all the crazy people who say its all just a dream and or that harry will die are off their rocker..........if jk does kill harry theni will die...

As easily as Snape had fought off Harry in HBP I'd be surprised if Harry doesn't spend a good deal of his time from school polishing up his skills and knowledge of spells and dark magic. Dumbledore seemed to think he had more potential than Harry had shown. "I'm not worried, i'm with you, Harry." Harry's problem is that he doesn't apply himself. Surely his maturity and realization of the significance in his role toward defeating Voldemort will cause him to leap forward in great bounds with his abilities. He won't have a chance if he doesn't do something to improve them. I'm also curious to see Snapes new role in the final book. Theory...He killed Dumbledore to save Malfoy from crossing a road he did not want Malfoy to cross. It was an action that allowed him to protect the Order by quickly getting the deatheaters to leave, save a student from commiting murder, and give Harry more time to mature in his preparation to defeat Voldemort. Surely he could have made it more difficult on everyone if he had hesitated. Instead he showed haste. He will be a key in helping Harry destroy Voldemort. Harry will be forced to make a judgement call on wether or not to trust him in a desperate situation. I'd be willing to bet there is a great deal of good in Snape. Dumbledore trusted him, and it was obvious that Dumbledore did not fear death!! He almost seemed to ask for Snape to kill him. Surely JKR would have put in a little bit more description of Dumbledore's shock in seeing Snape arrive had he not known Snapes intentions. Yes Hermione and Ron will both be together and both will survive. I believe that it is possible that Ron will be in a near death experience where they will both slip death. Harry will have thoughts of Ginny and have a near death experience himself, but the order and other mysteries are laid out in front of him to help him in his journey. Nobody of great significance will die except Voldemort and Snape. Perhaps Slughorn and Lucius(protecting his son). A journey will be made back to the school, and Harry will find that the resources of the school and its teachers will be at his disposal. The majority of the book will involve the destruction of Voldemorts lost souls. One easy and 3 hard. Harry himself will start to understand that it is his love that makes him powerful. He will see a new side of magic that hasn't been explored. His love for all those he has seen suffer or lost will be his power over Voldemort. He will find or create a spell that cannot be repelled by dark magic. It will not kill Voldemort as one would think. The love spell alone will suffocate Voldemorts torn soul. To accomplish this, Harry will return to hogwarts a hero and embrace Ginny. Snape will die a hero of good in Harry's effort to destroy Voldemort and it is possible that Draco will be saved by Harry from Voldemort. In the end I only see the two dying. Snape and Voldemort. JKR does not spend much time killing people off. She understands her duty to her readers. It would be in poor taste to kill off Harry. Same goes for Ron, Hermione or the one girl that Harry has any feelings for. Harry has a great future ahead of him. One last long bridge to cross. Good luck, Harry! Ginny and Harry TF(together forever).

Hehehe, i think that Harry and Voldermort will both die. Because it's like good can't survive without evil, harry can't survive without voldermort. I want to believe that sirius black is still alive because hes harry's only family, j.k is making him more unhappy.

Hey there Devon,

Would you please have a read of the signature rules? Your photo is too big to be in your signature like that; I'd appreciate it if you'd change it.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM myself or another mod or prefect.

Thanks,
QQS

To be honest, in the end I would love to read a "reunion scene" between Harry and his parents, whether he is dead or just dreaming. To me, it would be so lovely, if Mr and Mrs Potter just said "Son we are so proud of you and we love you". It's as if all of his worries about his parents and such would just be ended by that little sentence.

Naturally, I don't really want to see anyone die, but I do have a strong feeling that Hagrid will die and give Harry that final push to kill Voldemort. After all, who has been there for Harry since the beginning, who has always been his friend, told him all about his parents, etc? By killing Hagrid, Voldemort would be directly attacking Harry and I think that that would absolutely make Harry furious.

This is really a reply to the point raised about DD's portrait. (I think there are so many possibilities for how JKR will end the series that I prefer to read other people's theories than tie myself to one). I have read that she has said on numerous occasions that she doesn't believe in bringing characters back to life once they have died, but I also do think that she is fond of loopholes in rules.

Anyway, I think if DD is dead (and I must admit I have some faith in a theory I read on how he might not be dead [related to why he was pleading for/with Snape just before his death]) then his portrait mustplay an important role in the conclusion of the series. (How can such a monumental and relatively undiscovered character be killed off just for chock value?) I believe that some portraits have quite a bit of personality, such as Sirius's relative who is an ex-Hogwarts headmaster. We see him, after direct discource with Harry and DD, and upon hearing of Sirius's death, rushing out of his portrait and into his other one at Grimauld Place. He has also commented on the goings on in DD's office throughout the series. IE there is some kind of "intelligence" in them The ex-head portraits seem to be able to comment intelligently, so why wouldn't DD's portrait be able to do the same?

His charachter had only really begun to be discovered in HBP, when Harry starts to spend more time with him. Coupled with this is his wealth of magical knowledge (what was that first offensive spell he cast at LV at the battle of the Ministry of Magic? the one that made the deep gong bell like sound?) that it also seems a shame for Harry to miss out on (although maybe that is part of DD's mystique - if we know the all the secrets the experience will not be as thrilling?).

I just think that DD's character always played such a central role in Harry's life (whether Harry knew it or not) that the portaits in the HP world having "life" is not an opportunity JKR will pass up.

I agree, 'mozartharley', I think DD is dead maybe DD was very brught but naughty at school. Just like Harry...

I also agree that DD portrait will play a large part in helping Harry. I think that his vast length in knowledge will open a plethora amount of things for Harry to learn and ultimately take on Voldermort. DD has always been someone with so much knowledge. Many wizards are his age and are talented at magic as he is. I just wonder how he knows all these things, but it seems that those who are similar to him know less. I guess I just wonder how a person can be that smart. Anyway, yeah DD portrait will play a part in the 7th book. Sorry if i am confusing you. o have finals coming up and I am trying to study for those and plan three trips this summer .

I think Ron or Hermione is going to be put under the Imperius curse and made to face off against Harry
there is no possible way to tell what Harry would do but im sure he wouldnt kill them

as for Snape giving the order time by killing DD that may be true

he was the ONLY Death Eater on that tower who didnt taunt Dumbledore even when DD had no way of getting to his wand

Wow~ You guys are amazing! I've got nothing to add! You all summed it up for me...

Also, Ginerva Potter, you are amazing! I was just as riveted reading your stuff, as I am when I read JKR's! Great job!!
