I looked around to see if this topics existed, couldn't find one, so I thought I'd make one.

Which groups of people/beasts do you think will or won't join Voldemort? For example, the giants, the merpeople, the centaurs, the dementors, even the Muggles, just anyone you can think of.

Does anyone think anything different? Like if the dementors won't really switch sides? Post your opinions!!!

I think the muggles will stay out of it...but if they were to join a side I think it would be the good side, but they wouldn't know what was going on the whole time (it would be hard to explain). The dementors are questionable, as long Voldemort is letting them run rampant they'll stay on his side...but are they really on anybody's side? I think the merpeople will also stay out of it, as well as the centaurs...but if they were to choose a side, I think it would be the good side again because they respected Dumbledore and I think there were other reasons throughout the books.

Yeah, I actually think the magical folk will want to keep the Muggles out anyway. The dementors I think will sway with whoever pleases them. Though they do seem a little too evil to be on the good side... perhaps they could just suck Voldemort's soul out of him.

I think the giants are gonna be split up, some on The Dark Lord's side, some on Harry's side (severus snape is on Harry's side too!!!!)
and the dementors are on Voldemort's side 100%! I think the rest of the magical creatures will either choose to stay out of it, or be split up as I think the giants are going to be. everyone is different!

I think muggles' ignorance to the fact that there is even a war goign on will keep them out of it. As for the centaurs, it seems everytime one pops up he's saying how they are seperate from the wizards and want nothing to do with them so I can't see them taking a side or associating themselves with the war in any way. On the other hand, I'm sure they realize that if VOldy's side would win it would be only a matter of time before the repercussions reached them [the centaurs]. So they may fight against Voldy and co. but not because they want to help Harry, it would most likely be because they want to keep themselves safe.

Voldemort would kill Muggles lmao, as for centaurs, they are too arrogant to listen, and they will DEFINITELY stay out of the war. Being in the forbidden forest will keep them safe imo. Merpeople are too loyal to Dumbledore and can't be bothered to help while they are always at sea.

Dementors - Giants - Death Eaters

Dark Lord
- Death Eaters
- Dementors
- Dumstrang
- Slytherin House

Harry
- Merpeople
- Griffindyor
- Hufflepuff
- Ravenclaw
- EVERYONE ELSE

Durmstrang go with Voldemort? Hmm...likely I guess, since they are a dark Arts school. Maybe Viktor Krum will be on Harry's side though. What about Beaubatons? Did I spell that wrong? I think they will most likely be on Harry's side, since Madam Maxime respected Dumbly-dorr. Either that or they'll all just stay in France.

first ill start with humans

DE- clearly vl with maybe the traitor or two
Ootp- obviously the good side
ministry- split pretty nicely
students- slytherin will be on vls but the rest on the goood side
beuaubatons- well hagrids got maxime so probally the good side
durmstrang- well krum did prove that not all of them are bad
muggles- probally will be clueless and either way what can they do?
elton john- whatever side wins

creatures and such

goblins- as long as their gold is safe their out
house elves- how sweet would an army of house elves be, but their
magic tying them to their masters could be tricky
giants- well weve got grawp hagrid and maxime so we could convince a
few but mostly on voldys side
dementors- they get more satifaction from vl
centuars- whoever attacks them first will feel their wrath
merpeople- goodside
vampires- the evil side
werewolves- the bad side until greyback is gone then probally the
goodside

yeh sounds like a battle

I think that some are already on sides. I don't think that you can call it Harry's side because not all of Voldemorts enemies are on Harry's side. The Dementors and Giants are on Voldemorts side. Though there are very few giants left, less than 30 I'd say.

I believe that many types of creatures will not join sides such as:

Goblins- They seem like they are too into themselves, as you might say. They love money but I don't think that they would be bribed to do something for someone else.

Centuars- They are an indendent creature like we learned in OotP. When Umbridge said that the Ministry let them live on the land, the centuar said that it was their land and she was treaspassing on it. And then when Harry told them that they wish they would only get rid of Umbridge, they got mad because they were being used. Since they don't like that, they won't join Voldemort's side or the other side.

Werewolves- Enough said with Greyback. He is the 'leader' of the werewolfs that we know of or he has the most influence on them. Though Lupin is one and is on the good side and Bill might become a werewolf. So it might go either way on that.

House elfs- They can't be that important. Hogwarts has 100 of them but they can only use their magic if their masters are being harmed. I don't have a copy of Magical Beast so I don't know the full extent of house elfs magic and limits.

Meremaids- They will not play crutial role in anything. They can only stay in water and thats all they can do. Unless Voldemort decided he wants to fight underwater, he has no need for them nor does the other side.

Vampires- We haven't been introduced to any of them, or at least not yet. (I used to think Snape was a vampire but I scrached that idea). They might pop up in Book 7, I doubt for the good. If anything, it might come up in the muggle news that people have become scared of sunlight.

As far as the other schools go, I don't see them getting involved. Though it just occured to me that they might have been introduced for something though it might have been just for the champions Fleur and Krum. Though we know we will see Fleur in the next book for sure so that might leave Krum to be able to come back and play a role in something.

Well those are my thoughts on this topic for now.

Voldemort - DEs (duh)
Giants (most of them)
Dementors
Vampires (mostly)
Werewolves (mostly)
And a few others on top
Some slytherin Y7s (not all of them are bad)
House Elves*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the middle - muggles
Centaurs (untill provoked)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Good side - OotP (duh)
Few Giants
Few Werewolves
Few Vampires (we saw a good one at slughorns party)
Centaurs (if they are provoked)
Hogwarts Y7s and ex-pupils
Snape (still have faith in him)
Ministry of magic
House Elves
Hogwarts teachers
Goblins (Bills persuading them)


*Dependant on master IE master give it a direct command like KILL HIM!!!

So there you have it, i think thats sums it up pretty well

Here are my thoughts and this thread! I liked the way hp6 set up his reply so I am going to steal his format. (sorry mate).

DE- Voldemort but some on the good side. Like Lucius perhaps. He's probably very scared of Voldemort right now and their might be room for outcasts like him.
Ootp- Good Side
ministry- We know Voldemort is bound to have spies but there will be people like Barty Crouch all over again. Ruthless but undecided.
students- Well even though Slytherin supports Voldemort, I'm not sure every single one is "dark."
beuxbatons- Depends on if the French Ministry decides to get involved. If they side with the English Ministry then we might see that play a part.
durmstrang- Hard to tell. Karkaroff was the one teaching them Dark Arts but he's dead so it's really hard to tell.
muggles- Oblivious to whats going on.
elton john- very original

creatures and such

goblins- they are not foolish and will take whatever side seems more powerful.
house elves- They have a different brand of magic and might be a big part.
giants- All depends on who the Gurg is.
dementors- Voldemort because he can offer them more prey.
centuars- Neutral. They do not like humans all together.
merpeople- No major part
vampires- Hard to tell. Sanguini seemed to not be to happy but we dont know enough yet.
werewolves- Fenrir seems to hold such an intimidating card. I think that eventually they will side with the Order.


Another point I have is that this might be like a World War. We know other countries have there own Ministrys and such and we might see different countries side with different people. I know the Canadian Ministry will side with good guys

ok this topic interests me alot, but ive got 2 questons for yall

1 can a house elf 'choose' sides, wouldnt it just be on the side of its master?

2 is there still an order of pheonix, i know theres a good side, but is there still an order?

cant wait for the answers

i think that...

Voldemort:
Dementors
Death Eaters(of course)
Giants (maybe)
Slytherins (past & present)



Harry:
All other Houses(Past & Present)
Beauxbatons Academy
Some of Durmstrang(not all are for voldemorts ideas ex. Viktor Krum)
Ministry of Magic
mabye muggles if things get to carried away( ministry will decided to tell them the truth then erase minds later on)




Thats what i think

I definitely think that something has to happen with the house elves. I just can't accept that the whole side story with Hermione was for nothing. It has to lead somewhere. It seems to be leading to an equality among all creatures (especially if you think about Dumbledore's comments with the statue in the ministry) Could they suddenly abolish the tie of elf to master in a time of need? Could the ministry do that? Could the elves revolt if they wanted to? Is the binding simply by choice or is it magical? I don't really know.

(im just commenting on this. Ive been reading this and i realized how Harry has links to almost all the creatures. )

Harry's Links

Hagrid, Maxine - Giants
Bill- Goblins
Dobby- House elves
Krum- Durmstrang
Fleur, maxine - Beuxbaton
Lupin- Werewolves
Good Ministry- many people

I know there is more but i was just giving examples, I just thought that it in kind of convenient that JK has placed so many links to other races around Harry.

I like what you said Vulturemort, about the house elves. The more I think about the HP series the more I realise it's all about who you choose to be, not who you are born. So I really hope the house elves stand up for themselves. If the ancient tradition can't be broken that quickly, they should at least kind of rally around Dobby and support his struggle with authority.

And obviously Dobby will be on the good side, so the other house elves will be too.

Quick thought on Muggles - not everyone, but maybe the leaders of foreign countries might be involved. The British PM is already there. And I think it will be very wide battle. We might hear a lot more about wizards from other countries.

well i think it will be the same groups of people who always fight against voldy,and the same people who always try to kill harry.but if anybody is going to fight you think the giants,dementors,and of course the death eaters to be on voldy's side.but of course harry has the reminder of the order with exception of snape,the D.A.,the weasleys,the ministry,and i would expect the rest of the wizard world to help,and that is alot of people.

Okay, except all the giants and other schools and things, there is one little person who I am really curious about -

...Drum Roll...

Dum Dum Dum Malfoy.

What do you guys think, will he join the baddies or the goodies? I think it will be very interesting to see who he joins.

ok here is what i think

LV
Death eater
Dementors
other evil creatures

Harry
The school
Order of the Phonix
Centuars (if they have to be brought into it)

now in my opinion the tunring point will be who gets the giants becuase we know they are very resistant to spells beucase remember in the 6th book when Mcgonnagle is getting hit with the stun spell Hagrid in a fury runs after to save her and he is getting hit many times yet is unharmed. So i think Grawp and Hagrid will have a major roll in the 7th book as to getting the giants to join with harry.

OK guys after reading all these i i have come up with some interesting stuff...
Voldy-
1. DE's
2.Some vampires
3. Some werewolfs...but they wont be much use unless they can do magic too...like fenirir cant do magic but has gotten so bad he lusts for blood.
4. dementors

harrys-
1. the order
2. if you havent noticed harry can get a great deal of help from the weasly's...charlie=dragons...percy=ministry...bill=goblins...
3. beaxbatons(sp?)
4. maybe durmstrangs...ill talk about krum in a minute
5. fawkes
6. hagrid=giants
7. memories from dumbledore...but many other people as well.
8. snape
9. and out on a ledge...both malfoys

OK. So i said ill talk about Krum. He is an interesting part iin this. He was so close to Karkaroff(atleast thats how it seemed) he could be for Voldy. But i think he and Harry are verry similar. Ex. They can both fly really well, they both are close with hermionie.

So in conclusion id say that Harry has a lot more help on his side than Voldy does.

I agree with Walter, all those creatures who have shown darkness all ready will go to that which is most like them. And the rest will choose Harry, or just be neutral. If that will even be a choice

It was said in the fourth novel that the Dark Lord would obtain the Giants, the Death Eaters who were still in Azkaban, the Dementors his most loyal servants, and... Ok, there was another one, I thought, but I can't think of it right now. He also has the Vampires, maybe, the Were wolves, and probably anything else that sounds dark, mysterious, and such. Well, he has obtained all of those, so I guess he's pretty much ready, dontcha think so? For the other side, they have the Order of the Phoenix, and the Ministry, though they're kinda against the Dark Lord, but not with the Order either. There's also some individual people, but I'm guessing we can all name those, so I won't bother. The muggles are going to be brought into this whether or not they want to be. Remember the opening chapter of the sixth novel? The muggles are going to be affected; In war, no one is left unaffected, not even those who claim they took no part in the war, as history has proven so far. The neutral characters who, in the end, will chose one side or the other are the Centaurs, the Ministry to an extent, the goblins, the dragons (dude, I want the dragons to play a part in the next book, mostly cause I'm a Dungeons and Dragons fan), the giants who didn't join the Dark Lord, the Muggles (they're easily manipulated, so who knows), and I guess the other schools of magick might join the Order's side, though they might just think it's a business that they should have no part in (like Switzerland in that one war!), or they might run to the Order's aid. Who knows? I don't!

~La MaitressedeMort

i dont know if the minstry could tell the muggles and erase all of their minds that would be a very difficult task, but who knows, i think that the main creatures will be split, the giants, werewolves, etc... i wonder if a house elf could go against there master? but hogwarts has a whole bunch so maybe they will factor in.

Don't forget Voldemort has werewolves on his side too thanks to Greyback

I think that it was suggested somewhere that the goblins might join either side - they're oppressed by the Ministry of Magic on one hand...but weren't there goblin killings during Voldemort's last reign of terror?

I've been thinking about this and to me it sounds like either side could struggle and many will be reluctant. Obviously voldemort has some werewolfs on his side and he's made a good impression with the giants but the problem is would he be able to control the giants? and if he has too many restrictions they'll just rebel against him. I think the dementors won't exactly care as long as they get to use the dementors kiss which I don't think the good side would use against people. The goblins would probably join the good side but for a lot in return (I'm not sure what yet) I think vampires could be on either side but most likely voldemorts. I've also thought of something that hasn't been mentioned which is banshees I'd of thought they'd be a useful weapon.

Krum Neville Ginny And Luna wil be there with Ron HarryAnd Hermione

How about this...I think I got everything mentioned so far...



Voldemort:

Death Eaters

Werewolves

Giants

Dementors

Slytherins (past & present)

Other dark creatures that Voldemort pursuades



Harry (Whoot!!!):

Other houses

Beauxbatons

Some of Durmstrang (Victor Krum)

Ministry of Magic

Centars (the ones in the Forest?)



well... thats what I think.

How about this..

[b]Voldemort:

Death Eaters
Malfoys
Giants
Dragons(maybe)
Trolls
Werewolves
Basilisks and Snakes
Other Dark Creatures..
Goblins(maybe because of the ministry)
Dementors

[b]Harry:

The order of the phoenix
beauxbatons and Durmstrangs
[some durmstrangs]
Other Houses
Centaurs
Ministry Of Magic
Thestrals(guess)I dunno but they will be a good ally)
Ron, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, Luna

But how about lephricauns?
I dunno but it is possible they will join to Harry and the ministry
because in the quidditch world cup the lephricaun is the sign of Ireland

i would have to say that the durmstrungs will probably be split just like hogwarts because there are some like krum and then there is the fact that people like karkoroff were afraid and fled when Lord Voldemort came back( i know karkoroff isnt durmstrung headmaster anymore but he's a good example)

I think half of the gaints will be on one side and all the others on the other side i don't think that the centers will be in the war and the dementors will be on the evil side.
but i just thought of something when Fleur marries Bill won't she get her whole school to hlep with the war?

Most of the giants will go to LV. The merpeople will stay out of it. The centaurs would never serve either side. The goblins...I don't know. Pretty much everyone else is already decided. Dementors are LV's servants. I don't expect other creatures to play a large role. The house elves could, if their masters let them.

hmmm....good topic. let's see...

VOLDY/ B-B-B-BAD TO THE BONE SIDE:
-death eaters
-slytherins
-giants
-dementors
-stupid ppl who just get scared and join him. ><

HARRY/ AWESOME PPL SIDE:
-3 other houses from hogwarts ppl
-mermaids
-centaurs
-ministry...even though i hate them.
-random nice ppl!
-goblins
-ghosts
-and....LOVE of course!

Dark Lord
- Death Eaters
- Dementors
- Slytherin House:past and presant
- bad werewolfs
- trolls

Harry
- Merpeople
- schools(Griffindyor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Dumstrang, belulex)
- muggals
- giants
-O.O.F
- ministy
- good werewolfs
-centours
-house elfs

I thought of that first,but i got closed down!
that is not fair,all the following monsters and creatures come from fantastic beasts and where to find them:
anyway i think dragons will come in handy,the dark lord may use basilisks
Norbert will come back,i know that for shure,
giants will side with the dark lord
Centaurs will side with the wizards for this one instance
Unicorns will side with the order,
All the house elves in hogwarts will help our heroes,
trolls will help the deatheaters,
have you ever wondered what happened to fluffy?
he will comeback to help,
The pheonixes will help the order(duh)
goblins will split,
Vampires will help the dark lord and some will help harry
were wolves will side with the dark lord exept for one(lupin)
Ghosts will help somehow(i still cant come up with a way)
all the Acromantula(aragog's brothers and sisters)
will side with deatheaters,
Augurey birds will help the order
Chimeras and Erumpent will join the order
Graphorns will help the darklord
You can guess Griffins and Hippogriffs,
Kappas will join Voldemort,and will fight the merpeople who will help Harry
Lethifolds will be Bad and so will the Manticores
Nundus will help Voldy
Occamys will be good
Re'em will be good
Runespoor will of course play bad guys
Sphinxes will help harry
Tebo will be bad
and all the Yetis will be too far to help

Voldemorts Aide:
Bad werewolves
Slytherins
Death Eaters (of Course)
Some Giants
Crooked people in the Ministry of Magic
Some of Durmstrang (Karkaroff was Headmaster and a former DE)
with a note on the Durmstrang bit I have read in several different places that Viktor Krum, if he comes back in Book 7 will be on the bad side and not on the good, because of the fact that Durmstrang was a Dark Arts type school, Karakaroff was Headmaster and Krum may be taking over his former Headmasters Duties.

Harry's Aide:
Gryffindor, ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff
Hagrid
The Weasleys (except Percy)
Beauxbatons
The rest of the Giants
House elves
House Ghosts
The rest of the Ministry of Magic that is not crooked
The Order of the Phoenix members

Now as far as the Centaurs, merpeople, and such I think that they will stay out of the whole mess I don't think they will want to get involved. Merpeople won't be much help in the water anyway.
Muggles will be left out of it also.
Now as far as Snape goes I want to think that he will be on Harry's side but I am leaning more towards him being on LV's side. Well that is my summary of who I think is going to help who.

Hi

Just this is great let see with what I can come up with

Order/Good Side
~The whole Order of course
~Griffindor students
~Ravenclaw students
~Hufflepuf students
~Merpeople
~Centaurs
~Aurors
~Ministry who is for the Order/Good side
~Hogwarts Elves and Ghosts


Dark Order/Side
~Death Eaters
~Dementors
~Gaints
~Werewolfes
~Slytherin students
~Ministry who is for the Dark Lord
~Trolls


Hope it is great

[font=Comic Sans Ms][font=Arial][size=4]Probably Voldemorth will got: His Deatheaters ofcourse; the werewolves; Inferis ofcourse; Dementors probably<he got preety control of it>; vampires.....
I've got a feeling bout Snape.....
On Book 6 Dumbledore always emphasize that he trust snape very much nd everything..
I think that has got something to do with the story.....

Harry will of course get: The order of the phoenix
his buddies at hogwarts <almost all of hogwarts actually>
the centaurs <they've got good relations>
the merpeople of course <they're just neighbours>
the houselves
the ministry
Dragons
goblins
the veelas <beauxbatons>

The giants i think will b divided
sme of them we're already convinced by the dark lord...
But i thnk Hagrid will do smething....

I think this is how it will go:

Voldy:

Death eaters obviously
Most giants
Werewolves
Trolls
Slytherin students
Dementors

Harry:

Gryffindor students,Ravenclaw students,and Hufflepuff students
Elves
Ministry
Merpeople
The Order of the Phoenix
Dragons
Dumstrang
Beauxtabons

I also believe the Centaurs will never join harry so they will either be neutral or be on voldys side.

i think DEs, werewolves, dementors, giants, trolls,those spiders that are like aragog, ghouls, boggarts, snakes and maybe dragons? will join voldemort.

i think harry's team will only have buckbeak [witherwings], house-elfs, possibly fawkes if he returns, and the people from the order and his friends.

My views are basically the same as everyone else's: (they're all really obvious)

Voldemort
Death Eaters
Most of Durmstrang
Most werewolves
Most Slytherins
Voldy will probly use the dragons and giants, and of course, the dementors
I'm sure Death Eaters who have house elves will use them

Harry
Dobby
Everyone who isn't a Slytherin
OoP
Hagrid and all the Hogwarts profs
Krum
Beauxbatons
Ministry (against Voldy, that is)

Centaurs want nothing to do with humans, so they will probably remain neutral. Muggles will most likely stay out of it, except for the PM, who has contact with the Minister of Magic.

I think that harry will persuade the centaurs to join his side but i think LV has the giants.Although Grawp will deff. fight against Lv

Voldemort:
Death Eaters...duh!
Werewolves that Lupin does not convince
Giants
Centuars
Slytherins
Any one that is stupid enough to follow Voldemort's orders

Harry:
His besties!
Hogwarts Professors, besides Snape...
Gryffies, Huffies, and Ravies
OOTP
Ministry of Magic
House Elves
Grawp!

haha. I might be missing some people...but there's my thoughts!

I have had a dream of Voldemort having the last remaining fragment of his soul sucked from his body by a Dementor, which would, of course, require the Dementors to switch back, or more likely, for them to run right down the middle. That seems more their style - I don't think they are terribly particular about whose soul they suck.

Regarding house elves, I think it would be incredibly fitting tribute to Hermione for the house elves to revolt against their owners and support whichever side they choose. I can't imagine house elves supporting Voldemort in masses (Kreacher being an exception).

Regarding giants, I'm guessing that they'll mostly be with Voldemort, and this may ultimately lead to their extinction, since their numbers were dwindling to begin with.

Regarding Centaurs, I doubt they'll be involved because they are so damned self-centered that they wouldn't want to be seen serving any master.

Regarding the Mer People, I don't see a lot of opportunity for them to be involved, unless the final battle is somehow fought in the lake at Hogwarts.

Regarding the question of whether there is still an Order of the Phoenix, I am quite certain that there will be. Just because Dumbledore died doesn't mean that the order ceases to exist. In fact, it would be rather like a phoenix to come rising out of the ashes when it appeared that all was lost.

I'm going to make a bold prediction. I believe it will be important, if Harry is, indeed, to live, that Harry establish himself as not just a force within the wizarding community but as the leader of the forces of goodness. In that regard, he will have to make the leap from being a lightning rod to being a unifier, and if he succeeds, I'm willing to predict that a great many Slytherins will wind up in his corner. The way he will do that is to show that Voldemort will torture or kill anyone who gets in his way, and toward that end, I expect that either Draco or Lucius will wind up dead early in this book.

dudes this is like some sort of nsync vs backstreet boys

ok on voldemrts side are:
dementors
deaht eaters
slytherins
werewolves
giants (maybe)
goblins (maybe)


harry
OoP
Ministry of Magic (though not very useful)
Hogwarts


anyway the centaurs are neutral, they don't want to get involved

Voldemort
Death Eaters (obviously!)
Slytherin
Dementors
Most of Durmstrang
A very small amount of the MOM
Some Giants
Goblins
Werewolves (-Lupin)

Harry
Order of the Pheonix
Gryffindors (sp?)
Hufflepuff(sp?)
Ravenclaw
Some Giants
Ghosts
Hogwarts Teachers
Dobby
Other free house elves

Stay out of it
House elves (because they have to stay with thier masters)
Centuars (if they do join the war though they will join Harrys side)
Muggles

Thats all i can think of for now i will add more if i remember

Honestly, I think the muggles will stay out of it..
As for the giants and the dementors, we know LV turned them against the "good people", so if they don't act quickly, they'll have the giants and the dementors against them. And i'm pretty sure dementors will stay on LV's side, since they're dark creatures. As for the giants, I doubt Hagrid will risk his life again to try and talk with them especially knowing that DD's dead..
I think the merpeople will be on the good side though... same thing for the centaurs, if they have to join the battle...

Well, in fact i agree with (and repeat) what Vee said... I guess you said all in fact...
Oh, exept for the goblins: Hagris said they aren't bad creatures, but they're just impressive or something like that, so if they don't stay out of it, I think they'll be on Harry's side..
