I think harry will die as well as the Voldemort.Hermion and Ron are in danger.

i agree with alot of the theories. i believe that one of Harry's close friends will die. friends like Ron, Hermionie,Ginny, or Hagrid. I also like the theory that both harry and voldmort will be killed. That is a good theory. I also like the clever theory that harry is a horcrux. That would explain a bunch of things, like why there will only be 7 books when we all know she could make any more.

I think that Harry and Voldemort will both die, is a good theory, but I hope Ginny, Hermione or Ron wont die, because the book won't be the same without them.

After reading that JKR is bringing back the Ford Anglia and Viktor Krum in Book 7, and that Harry has a new pet - most likely Buckbeak, I'm guessing, than I've come to the conclusion that Book 7 will be an amalgamation of all that has gone before.

Harry will need everything he has learned in the previous books to defeat Voldy.

I do think we will see in Book 7:

* Mirror of Erised, with different heart desires for Ron and Harry than we saw in Book 1

* Ford Anglia - she said in an interview it was returning.

* Dementors - working for Voldy by Book 7? Just how far infiltrated into the Ministry is Voldy? Pretty far, I'd guess.

* Viktor Krum/Fleur Delacour we know come back in the final book. Possile that the tiara Fleur is to wear at her wedding is a horcrux, does that mean Krum leads the trio to another Horcrux? Does Krum's return jar Ron into action with Hermione?

* Department of Mysteries - we will see behind the locked door, and also the Pensieve...I think Harry will use it to show Ron & Hermione what he knows so far.

* The different types of love JKR has included in the series will play an important role. Especially obsessive love, since that's how Voldy came to be born. And especially unselfish love like Lily to Harry.

* Voldy will get something "worse than death" in the end.

I agree with 'PigWithHair', although I'm not sure about the tiara, that Fleur wears for her wedding, is a horcrux. I can't wait to see the Ford Anglia again!

Dumbledore seems so sure that godric gryffindor's sword is not a horcrux of voldemort. Therefore, I thinck right near the end. in the final fight between LV and Harry Dumble dore will return and help Harry. I still thinck Harry will die though

How can Dumbledore help Harry when he is dead? Although the sword being a horcrux, and that Dumbledore didn't know, is a good idea.

Hey Ginevra why dont u continue writin' ur own theory?????????????????
Its fantastic plzzz go on then!!!!!!!!

I know this might sound stupid, but I am new and I have LOVED Harry Potter since last year. It was because all my friends had like obsessions and I didnt, so like I started reading Harry Potter and got hooked. I am 13 in 8th grade.

So I have thought about Harry Potter and how the serius will end. I really dont think Harry will die. First of all, he is the main charecter. J.K. Rowling cant seriously do that! Well she can, but I dont think she will. What I do think is that someone else will go traiter. Can I have feedback on this?

I think maybe like Ron or someone we know well will go traiter. Or be imperiused or somethin.

I also have a feeling that someone will die. Yes, very obvious. but I dont have a clue WHO. I agree that Voldemort might get the worst then death thing dumbledore was talking about.

Ginny and Harry will work together. Ginny will force Harry to let her, like in Order of the Phenox when they were going to go to the ministry and Harry didnt want her to go, but she made him let her. I think it might be another one of those. Ginny is a forcefull human. She doesnt want people thinking she is week and inept.

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=1][COLOR=blue]I'm new to this too, and I'm the exact same age and in the same grade. I became a Harry Potter fanatic like, less then 2 months ago, and have loved the series since. I don't think that J.K. will kill Harry at all. She says on this very site that she won't. People are saying that Harry is going to get Ginny pregnant, which I believe is just ludicris. I don't believe J.K. will do that... and I don't want to believe that she will either. I also think that Dumbledore is dead, although I have read very convincing evidence against it, and that Snape is evil, once again, I have read very convincing evidence against it though. I suppose it is perfectly possible that someone goes traitor, but I think that Ron would die first... to me it doesn't seem like it's in his nature to go traitor on a friend after 6 years. I do believe that Voldemort will kill Ginny to lure Harry to him, it seems like the kind of thing Voldemort would do and Harry would fall for because he is the type of heroic person that would do so. Any other ideas?

I really need to start thinking about insugnificant (sp) things jkr has put in the past books. I know something in there will be one of those 'oh my gosh i cant believe i didnt think of that!' Thats her style, she wants us to think. I really do think that Dumbledore died for a reason. Harry needs to fight Voldemort ALONE in the end. Meening no ron, hermione, ginny, anyone to help him. Just him and voldy!

I think you are right! Voldemort will do something with ginny MAYBE to get Harry to come. But I also dont think its true.

Its posible that Harry goes LOOKING for Voldemort so he can fight him. I really do see this as a posibility. Harry knows about the profocy (sp) and knows he needs to kill voldemort himself. He will hunt down voldemort.

Yeah! He probably is going to go looking for him, I totally agree. Do you think Snape is evil?

I think Harry would live because JKR wouldn't have wrote seven whole books and then kill off the main character. It doesn't seem right. I think Dumbledore is still alive. Snape is still on the good side and Dumbledore and Snape made a plan to pretend to kill Dumbledore. They did this to somhow trap Voldy and help harry kill him. I don't think Ginny will die, it is too much of a repeat of CoS.

I don't know... I think that Dumbledore is dead and that Snape is bad... and that Ginny might die to trap Harry. But I'd be really cool if I was totally wrong...

I'm re-reading all the books (for the 4th time), and some things are coming out that may be part of the end.

1) In OOTP, Charlie Weasley's job for the Order is to make contacts with wizards from around the world: "Dumbledore wants as many foreign wizards brought in as possible." (p. 70) Also, JKR has already brought in two other wizarding schools in GOF, so we could see some powerful foreign wizards joining the order and helping Harry, perhaps against the Death Eaters. (Maxine VS Bellatrix--there's a picture!)

2) Pettigrew will aid Harry in his fight with Voldemort because of the debt he owes Harry for saving his life in POA. Remember that DD has said Harry will have cause to be grateful for saving Pettigrew's life (sort of like Gollum being allowed to live by Frodo)

3) The truth about Snape will come out and he will help both Harry and Draco. I think Snape was in love with Lily Potter, one of the reasons for his hating James but also causing him to seek revenge on Voldemort for killing her.

4) Ginny will help Harry, but without his knowing it because she doesn't want to weaken him. However, this feisty girl isn't going to just sit in the Burrow and wait to see what happens. She will stay in contact with Hermione and find some way to help.

5) We really haven't seen the powers of Mr. and Mrs. Weasley at full throttle--but with all their children in danger, these two will enter the fray with the rest of the Order. Harry may have to battle Voldemort alone, but both the Order and the foreign wizards can help with the Death Eaters and the horcrux search.

6) Sirius and DD are REALLY DEAD--JKR has said so. But she also has pointed out that no one we love ever really dies--they live in us and can be called upon to help us in time of need. That's why Harry's patronus is a stag--because he has the strength of his father in him. DD knew he had to die in order for some of this strength to pass to Harry.

7) DD will still help through his portrait and perhaps through the pensieve--I think he placed several thoughts in it before he and Harry went to the cave.

8) Grawp won't be the only giant on Harry's side--Hagrid and Maxine's trip has been mentioned too much to just have the giants disappear in the last book. They'll show up and help Harry this time.

9) I hope JKR won't kill Harry--not just because I want a fairy tale ending, but because it would undermine her theme about the strength of love. Harry will be on the verge of dying, but then someone else will give their life so he can live. Just hope it doesn't have to be Ron, Hermione, or Ginny. Perhaps Snape or McGonagall.

10) Voldemort will be conquered through love--Harry would never use an unforgivable curse. Voldemort made a big mistake in using Harry's blood to rejuvenate--DD had a "look of triumph" on his face at the end of GOF when he learned that Harry's blood had been used.

Anyway, just some thoughts. I do think JKR drops clues like breadcrumbs throughout the books--but she does it with just a slight mention here and there (note the short line in OOTP about the "heavy locket" which would seem to be the Slytherin locket so central in HBP). Time to go back to my reading and try to find some more breadcrumbs!

I think Voldemort will die but some people who are really close to Harry will die too. Harry will cry a lot in this book because JKR said in one of her interviews that The reason for Sirius Black's death will be exposed and there will be a huge revealation about Lily Potter.
So he will be sad!
AND the wound of Dumbledore's Death has healed yet.
I think Voldemort will die because If Harry dies then Voldemort will continue to ruin other ppl's life and I think there is something really really significant about Harry that we don't know yet Because some are wondering why Voldemort will mark a little baby as his opponent!
And The remaing couples will get married
And Harry will live at Godric's Hollow peacefully with his wife.

If Voldemort uses anyone as bait it will be either Hermione or Ron. Voldemort knows that these two people mean more to Harry than anyone (other than Dumbledore, but he's apparently dead.) Voldemort, who knows everything, won't bother to kidnap Ginny to use her as bait. He knows that their short little romance is over. That would be like using Cho as bait. No, Voldemort will go 'for the throat'. He'll use Hermione or Ron as bait to get to Harry. Many people believe that Ron will die in the last book, much like he sacrifised himself in the first book during that Wizard's Chess Match scene. In all honesty, I don't want anyone to die, other than Lord Voldemort of course.

i've just had a wierd thought!
what if voldemort made ginny a horcrux thingy (something do to with CoS) and so harry has to kill ginny!...that would be awful!
but i doubt it would happen!

cheers~!

In all my re-reading, I just finished OOTP. On p. 843, Dumbledore is explaining to Harry why love is such a powerful force. He says:

"There is a room in the Department of Mysteries that is kept locked at all times. It contains a force that is at once more wonderful and more terrible than death, than human intelligence, than forces of nature. It is also, perhaps, the most mysterious of the many subject for study that reside there. It is the power held within that room that you possess in such quantities and which Voldemort has not at all. That power took you to save Sirius tonight. That power also saved you from possession by Voldemort, because he could not bear to reside in a body so full of the force he detests. In the end, it mattered not that you could not close your mind. It was your heart that saved you."

Sooo--there's yet another piece of evidence that Harry will defeat Voldemort through the power of love. I'm betting that the room in the Department of Mysteries will play a part in Book 7.

In addition, when Harry talks to Nearly Headless Nick about Sirius becoming a ghost, Nick says, "I know nothing of the secrets of death, Harry, for I chose my feeble imitation of life instead. I believe learned wizards study the matter in the Department of Mysteries--."

Yet another indication that the Dept. of Mysteries will play a part--perhaps the wizards who study the secrets of death will be able to help Harry connect with those who have died.

this is, in my opinion, the best option for The end

i also believe that, if she has any sense at all, JKR will adopt this ending instead of her own.

harry wakes up in a hospital bed after a disaterous encounter with greyback and snape. but when he sees himself in the mirror, he doesn't see his scar. he tries to figure out what's going on, but he has no success. later however an old doctor gives in and tells him what's been going on. he tells harry that he contracted a rare disease around the age of eleven, and has been put in a mental institution. the doctor tells him that it is a strange form of dimentia that causes hallucinations and amnisia. his brain is unable to form long term memories except for the ones he creates in his subconcious state. in short, he can only remember things up to age eleven, as well as the hallucinogenic dreams. ever day, harry awakes to find himself unawhere of his situation, and with further knowledge of his alternate life. later though, harry learns that his mental state may have been originally triggered by a car crash he experienced at the age of one. a car crash that his parents never survived...

Jerry Plumber... I am sorry but I totally disagree with you. It would ruin the whole series for me if I found out that Hogwarts wasn't real and that Harry was mental. It would totally let me down and I'd never respect J.K. again.

i think ive said this b4 but that was a long time ago and i wanted to see what every1 thought of it now

harry's scar is a horcrux and in order to kill voldy harry must die himself.

my reasons for why i think harry' s scar is a horcrux is on a diffrent thread....the one pertaining to horcruxes....

yeah, i agree tkdmally, i would probably burn my harry potter collection if JKR wrote something like that, but i think this would be a good alternate harry potter series...

anyways i thik i know how it will end. i thought this up a while ago, but i thought the time is right to post it here...

Voldemort, the newly self-appointed minister of dark magic...(after killing most of the order, of course), smiles to himself as he sits down on the comfy char in his office. 'Finally,' he says to himself... 'my long years of plotting have paid off.' (a small figure walks in the door, voldemort turns to face him) 'Master Dobby, you survived...'

'Surprised?' he says. voldemort sends a killing curse at dobby. dobby dives out of the way, and the force of the curse smashes him into the wall.

'i have waited a very long time for this moment... ' mocks voldemort, 'my little friend...' voldemort raises his wand. 'Once again, evil will rule the world...' voldemort says.

'Not...' says the small figure, 'If any thing to say about it, I have!' dobby shoots a powerfull blast of magic at voldemort and sends him tumbling over his chair.

As Voldemort regains his composure, he lunges for the exit. But little dobby is soon blocking the doorway.

'If so powerfull you are, why leave?' he says. Voldemort seems to swell with anger, and raises his wand. dobby pulls out his own wand.
'At an end your rule is, lord Voldemort, although short it was...'

'You will not stop me,' Voldemort scoffs, 'My new Master has become more powerfull than either of us!'

'Faith in your new accomplice, misplaced may be, as is your faith in the dark arts...' says dobby with a grimace.

But as a side door in the office chamber begins to creak; Voldemort turns to aknowledge it. Taking this split second advantage, dobby disarms Voldemort, sending his wand out the window and into the night. The momentous victory is short lived, however. The door opened to reveal Harry Potter, standing hooded and cloaked. but something was wrong with his eyes. they were red with a yellow tinge. harry walked towards dobby, raised his wand, and killed him without a word. When the flash of green faded, harry turned to face the old, misshaped wizard. voldemort fell at the feet of the new dark wizard.

One phrase escaped harry's lips; 'rise, lord Voldemort...'

~ note the obvious copyright breach on star wars, revenge of the sith...

That's a good idea, but the last word of the story is 'scar'. I don't want Harry to go bad or die. I want it to be a true heroic tale..

I think that in the end of Book 7 there will be another final battle between Harry and Voldemort.Harry will become alot strongher than he was and will somehow put up a fight to Voldemort.I don't thing that "Hogwarts" will be closed.Harry still needs to learn a thing or two more.My suggestion is that he will become an Anniamgus.He learned alot from The Prince's schoolbook in potions.Maybe he will become very good at transfiguration.And i have two suggestions about the end:
1.Both Harry and Voldemort will die at the final battle
2.Just when Voldemort has killed Harry and is very tired Neville will appear and finnish The Dark Lord.This means that this hole time Voldemort was chasing the wrong boy.
However it is possible that the Prophesy was about Neville and Harry but I dont think that this is going to be the truth.

sorry professor, but you clearly need to re-read book #5. neville is not the chosen one. the chosen one, who is to defeat voldemort, is harry, because voldemort chose him. it is not some outside force that dictates who the chosen one is, it was voldemort. so neville can't possibly distroy voldemort, dumbledore specifically stated that.

Hi @ all
I found this theory in a post on a german website an I’ll try to translate it the best I can. (My English skills aren’t the best, sorry)

JKR said once, that there were some hints to the storyline of the following books in “The philosophers stone”.
Maybe the chess game describes the wizard war in the last book. The chess men are described more as human than as pieces of stone. The white chessmen are terrifying and faceless (Philosopher’s stone, page 302: “Harry, Ron and Hermione shivered slightly- The towering white chessmen had no faces”)- THE MASKS OF THE DEATH EATERS!!!

Ron decides who of them takes which position (Harry à bishop / Hermione à castle / Ron à knight)
That’s a strange decision, isn’t it? Ron’s very good at chess. He has to know, that it would be better to be King, because he would be able to stay on the field till the end of the game to give orders. So why is he the knight?

JKR likes symbols. The whole game is a symbol!
Ron’s the KNIGHT because he has a pure heart, and because he’s brave and loyal! He is not the kind of person who gives orders. Hermione is the castle because she thinks and acts straight. Harry is a bishop! He’s standing next to the king (Dumbledore) and moves diagonally, which means that he’s not as straight as Hermione, and he’s a mysterious character.

The war begins. White plays first. The white pawn (pawns are standing in front of the king à Voldemort) moves first.
WORMTAIL. He gave Voldemort back his powers and his body.
To check if it is real wizard chess, Ron sacrifices a pawn – CEDRIC! He got taken by the pawn who started the game !
WORMTAIL KILLS CEDRIC
- Book 4 , page 691 “Kill the spare”

Then she describes, how the second Knight is taken. The white queen beats him (page 304, “The white queen smashed him to the floor and dragged him off the board, where he laid quite still, face down.”)
BELLATRIX (white queen) KILLS SIRIUS (second knight)
- Book 5, page 711: “Harry heard Bellatrix Lestrange’s triumphant scream, but knew it meant nothing- Sirius had only just fallen through the archway, he would reappear from the other side any second… But Sirius did not reappear.”

But the battle goes on…
“Every time one of their men was lost, the white pieces showed no mercy. Soon the was a huddle of limp black players slumped along the wall.”
PS, page 304
MANY; MANY PEOPLE DIE
- Book six, wizard war
“He did it, Prime Minister, he threatened a mass Muggle killing unless I stood aside for him and-“, HBP, page 17

“What with all that, and then losing Amelia Bones. (…) We think he who must not be named may have murdered her in person…), page 19

“And then there was Emmeline Vance,…, page 19

…and then…

“Yes…” said Ron softly, “it’s the only way…I’ve got to be taken”
“NO!” Harry and Hermione shouted.
“That’s chess!” snapped Ron. “You’ve got to make some sacrifices! I take one step forward and she’ll take me- that leaves you free to checkmate the king, Harry!” (…) He stepped forward and the white queen pounced. She struck Ron hard around the head with her stone arm and he crashed to the floor.(…) The white queen dragged Ron to one side.” SS, page 304/305

RON SACRIFICES HIMSELF, TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR HARRY, TO DEFEAT VOLDEMORT!
- Book 7??
- Ron is going to be killed by Bellatrix Lestrange, and Harry defeats Voldemort


“The white King took off his crown (power) and threw it at Harry’s feet.” Page 305

OMG, it was a hard piece of work to translate that. Please don’t be too hard with me, my grammar isn’t the best…
(There was a also a comment about Snape in the original, but it was a bit far-fetched… well, more far-fetched than the theory itself^^° )

What do you say?

Dude I really like this theory. Its ties in almost perfect to the whole plot of the books and the direction they are taking. I wouldn't be suprised if Ron did that. I know Bellatrix is evil enough to do that. Maybe after Ron's death Hermione and Harry will combine their powers to defeat LV. We all know they are the two best in their class. Magic wise. I know I got this off of another thread but I wanted to put this in. If its already in here then sorry about this. But I think this theory has alot of credit.

That is a really good theory, I completely agree with you, the war does seem like the chess, Harry, Ron and Hermione had to play in the first book. I already thought that Ron was going to be killed in the seventh book (although I don't want him to die!) I never had any evidence though that he was going to be killed, but now I do!

Yeah I know what you mean, I don't want any of the Three Characters to die. I would not forgive JKR if she did do this, but I would understand if she did because I read that chess theory. It would be almost the perfect ending for the books. Someone dieing so Harry can destroy Voldemort. It would be a classic which I would love to read over and over again for the rest of my life. JKR is a master writer and I love reading all of her books, to me they never get old, I think they get better everytime I re-read them. I really think something will have to do with Fawkes int he 7th book. Hey everyone.

Ah well the chess board theory again. This has been discussed at some length here and I saw this same posting at Leaky.

While I do think the ending of Book may have a lot to do with the end game in Book 7, I take a much broader view.

Firstly, it is important to recall that while Ron did sacrifice himself so that Harry could move on, which I think Ron will do again in Book 7, Ron survived that sacrifice.

And, because of how his character has been developed, especially thorugh Book 6 where JKR went through definite steps to mature Ron so he would be, in JKR's words, "worthy of Hermione," I think Ron will once again survive sacrificing himself.

Ron will act the knight again in battle against the Death Eaters. He has always seen the whole picture in terms of how important it is for Harry to move on. Especially now, with Ron's entire family on the front line of battle, being Blood Traitors as they're called, he'll be even more ready to do this again.

Like Ron, Hermione will be needed as she was in Book 1. Recall that Hermione figured out the Potion Puzzle in the first book. It's my guess that she will be the lead in figuring out the Horcruxes, which Harry needs to have accomplished so that he can move on and defeast Voldemort.

In the end of Book 1, Harry confronted Voldemort, who had underestimated Harry and, in the end, Harry survives. So, this is what I see happening in the end game of the final book.

Ron and Hermione will make it possible for Harry to move onto the final confrontation and they will all survive - well, all except Voldemort. He's toast.

Wormtail may help Harry somehow in the end as well, seeing as how Harry didin't let Sirius and Lupin kill him back in Book 3.

Thats very interesting. I forgot about Hermoine helping with the potions would be important later on in book 7. Sad thing is I re-read book 1 only last week. Yeah I know that Ron survived the chess match and will prolly survive in book 7 if he does do it again. But I think it would be a much better ending if Ron were to die, it would tie into the part where Harry is the only one to ever survive when Voldemort wants them dead. I know I will prolly get sasses by Ron and Hermoine supporters. I really don't care, It would just make sense if it ends with a non-happy ending. Just my thinking but each book gets darker and darker so why not book 7 end with one of the main characters dieing, it would just make sense to me. I am open to ideas on this topic and I know I will receive replies. Sorry if I make people mad but its just my opinion.

Okay! So this is how I think its gonna go down! LoL! My friend gave me this really great theory!

What if the infamous firebolt scar on Harry is one of Voldemort's horcruxes? So in the end! Harry will end up killing Voldemort and well.....also end up killing himself! Its a pretty sucky ending! But hey......man! If that happens I'd be crying so hard! LMAO! Wow....

ANYWHOO!!!

Now to go on about the romantic stuff!

RON AND HERMIONE WILL GET TOGETHER!! THEY JUST HAVE TO!!! GAH!!! If they don't I'll be so mad! They were SO CLOSE in the 6th book! GAHH!!!! *cough* Anyway......maybe Ginny will try to get back with Harry! Who knows......

I CAN'T WAIT!! WOO! WOO!!!

Eh, I totally just realized I'm way behind on info.! LMAO! And well....the things I discussed above has already been predicted! LoL! Aw well!

Hello Everyone - new member.

I think that Malfoy and Harry will become alies to save Malfoy from being killed by Voldemort. Malfoy is afraid of his father and Voldemort and in the end will not allow them to rule.

Also, I think that Professor Snape was in love with Harry's mother and this is part of the anger and hatred that Snape has towards Harry's father and Harry.

I surely hope that Hagrid doesn't die but I think he is part of the reason Harry and Malfoy join forces.

I await a reply. Felocity

I totally agree with you, 'hpcrjan', I think Malfoy and Harry will become allies, to save Malfoy from being killed by Voldemort. Also, I think that Professor Snape was in love with Harry's mother and this is part of the anger and hatred that Snape has towards Harry's father and Harry. I hope Hagrid doesn't die either, he is one of the most kindest people in the Harry Potter series.

The only thing I hope j.k. doesnt do is kill off any of the trio, but i have a feeling she will because you cant copywrite characters, so if she doesnt kill Harry, Ron, or Hermione off, some one can go do a story on one of them when they are grown up. So unless she want some one getting $5,000,000 on a crappy book about the trio when they are older, she will probably have to kill one them off unless shes gonna keep on writing!

I think Ginny and Ron will die sacrificing for Harry and Harry will end up with no one. Hermione was in love with Ron so she was sad too. Then, Harry and Hermione will be in love with each other but they can't forget Ron and Ginny so they won't be together.

The chess theory is so out there but it fits so well it's uncanny.

buck beak already is his pet
the ford angelia could it take a AK spell for ron maybe,
and harrys new pet in my opinon is fawkes who will prove very important in defeating vl

well....i don't if i think it would end like this or i hope to end like this--my point is that i think ron and hermione will be toghether, but after hermione will have a relation with vicktor krum,; as for harry i hope that he will live happy with ginny(after he beats voldemort of course ).

bela

yes that would be a nice ending, but can anyone go back to normal like that after so much pain, and loss, and death and destruction, i dont think it can be a happy ending

I think people in the magical world, will feel happy and sad. Happy that Voldemort has gone (if he does die, and I hope he does!). But sad, because so many people have lost there lives, because of Voldemort. I really hope Ginny and Harry get together, and Ron and Hermione, and Hagrid and Madame Maxime.

my guess is that the couples we saw in book six
were there for the fun of book six, but also...
to make the deaths in seven even worse because we will have a death and then a sorrowfilled partner, so i think the end will be filled with sadness.

I like the chess board theory and of course we all want Harry, Ron and Hermoine to live, however, I'm still in doubt about the "Dumbledore trusts Snape" theory. Why does he trust Snape to the death.

Hagrid was a wizard in training and his wand was broken. In the first book Harry asked Hagrid if his wand could be repaired? Hagrid's always showing up at the right time and is constantly saying things he wished he didn't say. Will Hagrid become full wizard or has he been hiding something. Also, Dumbledore made the statement, "I'd trust Hagrid with my life".

Harry's parents showed up in "Sorcerer's Stone" and "Goblet" to help him. Love - the bonds of love can never be broken. Love is the strongest element, this has been stressed.

Sirius, will he reappear?

Draco's father is relentless and abusive, I wonder if he's going to do someting to hurt Draco's mother or Draco himself. Maybe he will be told to sacrifice Draco. What about Cedric?

JKR said once (I think) that she had already written the last chapter, and it ends in "scar". Post your thoughts about what it will contain!

Remember that in the epilogue, Harry has already defeated Voldy, and may or may not be already dead himself.

My theory: Harry will die (because I thinnk he is a Horcrux), then he will go to be with his parents, Sirius, Dumbledore, and other good friends he would have lost in the last book. The epilogue returns to the normal world, and talks about where his school friends are, something like 10 years later.

JK mentions a character becoming a professor, and it isn't Hermione or Ron. I'm guessing Neville, in Herbology.

Obviously Hermione and Ron are going to end up married, and they'll probably get the Burrow. Fred and George will probably have their own little bit in the epilogue, and they'd have done really well. And the scar bit will probably be about Ginny, looking at a photograph of Harry.

Please tell me your ideas!

I'm very glad someone finally brought this topic to the fore. Yes, JKR did say she'd written an epilogue, though she wasn't positive she was going to use it at one point, then later she referred to it as the last chapter, so it looks as though she will (thank you!).

Nothing is definite in regards to the outcome, though.

My guesses:

Draco Malfoy
The Malfoy fortune is lost. Draco has to get a job busing tables at the Hog's Head. He falls in love with a girl only to find out she's a muggle.

Lupin
Seriously injured during a battle and not much help to Harry at the end, he lives to marry Tonks and has children. Lupin works for the Ministry later on in Werewolf/Wizard relations as part of a new Ministry project.

Arthur Weasley
Promoted again after a few years to Minister of Magic.

Fred and George Weasley
Expand their business into an international chain of joke shops, they later create a wizarding amusement park called Weasley World.

Charlie Weasley
Takes over as Care of Magical Creatures teacher at Hogwarts after the death of Hagrid during the war.

Bill and Fleur
Have a couple of kids with French names who like raw meat.

Neville Longbottom
Teaches Herbology at Hogwarts.

Ginny Weasley
Marries Harry. Takes over Madam Hooch's job at Hogwarts after raising little Potters with red hair and green eyes.

Hermione Granger
Marries Ron Weasley. Works in Muggle Relations Office where all she needs is one O.W.L., enthusiasm and a good sense of fun. Raises five little red-haired Weasleys and pens Hogwarts: A Revised History.

Ron Weasley
After Hermione is injured during the war, Ron decides to become a Healer. She helps him study for the required N.E.W.T.s. He becomes a leading Healer at St. Mungo's and has the portrait removed that accused him of having spattergroit. Raises little Weasleys with Hermione and coaches his kids' Quidditch team.

Harry Potter
The Boy Who Lived becomes an Auror. He and Ginny work with orphaned wizard children to ensure they grow up in a loving and safe environment and don't get sent to orphanages as Riddle did, or treated as Harry was by the Dursleys.
Harry never writes or authorizes a biography on himself, but does enjoy monthly hang-out sessions with Ron, Neville, Fred, George and Seamus at the Three Broomsticks.

Wouldn't that be fantastic if that is how it would all turn out? The only one I am going to disagree with here is Arthur's. I don't think he will become Minister. It is a tough job, and after seeing what evryone one else had to endure when they were Minister, I think that would turn him off of being the Minister. But all the rest of the stories are good. I like Ron's.
