Yeah, in fact now I have the Horcrux list.. as I belive anyways.

The Diary
The Ring
The Cup
The Locket
The Hufflepuff Cup
[maybe] Godric's Sword (but no because Harry already has touched it, not to mention killed a Basilisk with it) so OTHERWISE a different Gryffindor relic
and.. Nagini obviously.

What'dyou think After?
prince_halfblood_22
Er, how come we are discussing the locket in this thread? Isnt there a thread just for discussing the various horcruxes, of LVs? Now, for what you said about Nick, Jak. It is very possible, that he was framed by someone, for a crime that Nick, didnt really commit. Hm, this seems ironic, to the extreme. Isnt another person that was a Gryffindore, framed for doing something he hadnt really done? I am thinking of Hagrid with Aragog, and the opening of the COS. Feedback Please!!

P.S. Hey there Passerby!! Oh i need you to owl me. Please do so, in the next few minutes.

Thanks,

The first cup in your list...What cup is it if it isn't the hufflepuff cup?

also i think the reason the colour of the locket wasn't mentioned was just another cleaver trick by Jo..if she went into to much detail we would have picked up on it so much easier... but this way she can say see i mentioned it ealier do you get me?

but anyway prince is right we shouldn't be disscussing the locket here. ok...

i don't think there is a dirrect connection between nick being framed and hagrid being framed i mean i think it is just a gryffindor trait..it's not as if hagrid is the only gryffindor to be framed...everybody thought harry was the heir of slytherin...sirius was framed for the murder of lilly and james...harry was framed for the dementor attack and using patronus...there are probably more but like i told broomstick in an email..i have a fractured wrist and my typing speed is slow and painful...but i do it anyway because i have to keep up with you guys...does that make you guys feel special i go through pain for you...anyway as i was saying there are probably more but i can't be botherd to thin of them then go through the pain of typing them.

The cup Dumbledore drank the potion out of that made him so ill before Snape killed him.


Prince- feedback- Yeah, quite oincidental. Hmm...


I do have a theory about Snape- being innocent... Don't flame right away lol listen to this-

Snape made the unbreakable vow to carry through with Draco's mission- to kill Dumbledore, and everybody knew Draco didn't have it in him to kill so his mission from Voldemort wasn't a mission for Draco, it was a test of Snape's loyalty, Voldemort knew about the Unbreakable Vow so if Snape HADN'T killed Dumbledore he would have BROKE COVER. He HAD to kill him. Dumbledore knew about this, why else did he ask for him? I don't know... just a theory. I still hate Snape.


lozza-cm
I HIGHLY DOUBT that the cup is a horcrux actually i know that it's not...if it is i would gladly sit down season book 7 with salt and pepper and eat it...how would voldermort of made if a horcrux if dumbledore conjured it out of thin air almost 17 years after the horcrux's were made? it just doesn't make sence! but like i said we shouldn't be talking about this here so i am going to shut up now before i get introuble off a mod i just had to add that last little bit.
jarn
Lmao what the hell am I talking about then? I just finished a bottle of 110 so I'm a little disoriented and I'm going to go to bed here soon, so, last post in the house thread but here's a last thought: JKR hinted at Harry getting a new pet in 7, and Fawkes I belive still has a role yet to play... Maybe.... ????? Who else? I mean Fawkes just can't be cut out of book 7 never to be mentioned again right? Good night all!!
shasty
I know it is late but I just wanted to add my little tidbit before I head off to dreamworld.
#1. About Nick, he says in his song (which was edited out of the books but JK mentions on her site which I believe prince_halfblood_22 found the other day?) that a women came to him hoping he could fix her teeth. He made a mistake and was tried before he could fix the problem. Maybe this has some corralation w/ Hermione getting her teeth fixed? I don't know, but probably not I guess.

#2. About the locket. It is mentioned more than once in book five I believe. I think it is mentioned when Kreacher's cubby hole is found? I can't check though because I have lent my book to a potential Potter fan. The more the merrier right? biggrin.gif

Anyway if someone could maybe look that up for me, I would be eternally greatful.

Well, it is getting late and I have class tomorrow. Good night everyone. magic.gif
prince_halfblood_22
Ill be looking your post up in the OotP, Shasty, but I wont post what I find out about it, in this thread. I am posting it in the Horcrux Thread. Ill include the link to the thread once I post it. Now for what you said about Nick. I agree, it has to have some kind of meaning, Nick messing up a young ladies teeth, and then, Hermione having hers hexed, in her 4th year. I think its deeper than this though. What if this is a forshadowing of Draco's death? See, it was Draco's spell that riquocheted and hit hermione in the teeth. Could this be a death sentence, for Draco? Is Jo trying to tell us all something? Feedback Please!!

Thanks,

~~Prince~~
After the Burial
I don't think there is any foreshadowing involved here. If Nick's Song was important, JK would not let it be cut. I think JK wrote the song because she likes Nick as a character. Most of us love Nick. It is natural to wonder how a ghost died. Even Harry asked why the Bloody Baron is bloody. The song is cute and it provides background information on a beloved character. Does it need any more reason to be writen?
prince_halfblood_22
well, burial, the song may not have been included in the books, but, she has put it on her site, for a reason, other than Nick being a beloved character. It mentions Nicks crime, so maybe knowing that readers would read that song about Nick on her site, and read the GoF book, she went ahead and made the forshadowing I have mentioned. Think about it. Nick is dead, all because of something to do with a girls teeth. Draco hexed hermione's teeth in GoF, so, could this mean Draco will die in book 7? There is also some detail in HBP that goes with this. Im not sure where at in the book. Just think of what goes on with draco in HBP. Jo keeps saying that to Harry he is quite pale and sickly looking. His health appears to be diminishing. Feedback Please!!

Thanks,

~~Prince~~
dreamwalker
biggrin.gif Yay! I tried the horcrux thread with no luck so thanks for putting it there. I originally brought up the locket and I couldn't check the books because my husband loaned them to someone at work. About Draco: He spent a lot of time in the Room of Requirement. I don't think he saw much sun and probably wasn't eating much due to stress since Voldemort threatened his family. I think it's possible he will die in book 7 but will he be one of the 2 that will definately go or was Rowling refering to the heroes? Also you can't help but feel sorry for Draco in HPB. Snape is a friend (term used loosely) of Draco's family and seems rather friendly with Narcissa. Will Snape try to protect Draco. He's just a kid and Lucius is not a model father so would Snape feel a connection to Draco enough to keep him out of Voldemorts wand target?
After the Burial
What detail is that? I do not recall anything like that in HBP.

Why would JK put it on her website? I have no idea. For the same reasons that she added Dean's story. It provides insight into the character. There are some things she was not able to put in the books. I think this is one of them

I never mind reading a foreshadowing theory. They are always interesting. Sometimes, I think people read too much into certain things. I think foreshadowing works best in completely obscure places or in extraordinary circumstances.

In an extraordinary circumstance (Harry traveling with Dumbledore to see Slughorn), the reader is focussed on how different things are. It makes it easy to overlook something as being a part of those extreme conditions.
In an obscure action (cleaning Grimmauld Place), the reader focusses on the idea that everything is weird. This makes it likely that you will glance over anything 'normal.'

Everyday life events are not suitable for foreshadwowing because they stand out. The reader pays attention when Harry goes to Potions because they expect something to happen in this fantastic world.
dreamwalker
I seem to remember something being said about Snape attending a few dinners with Draco's family and that being one of the reasons Narcissa felt somewhat comfortable going to him about Draco. Is that the detail in HBP you were asking about, Burial? I'm getting the books back from my husband because there is too much I think I remember but can't exactly. Also I have found a few things that I don't remember at all like an accountant in the Weasley family. Now that will bug me until I read the series again. laugh.gif
prince_halfblood_22
Dream, the accountant in the Weasley family, I think was mentioned in SS/PS. It was the first train ride I think. Also, Burial, the detail I was talking about, was when harry notices Draco's sicklyness(Word?). I like your insight of the forshadowing that Jo uses. Hey, maybe this theory of mine, is just one of Jo's red hearrings. Im not really certain, but I think that Draco is a victim in HBP. He couldnt kill DD. Now, LV, is going to be looming over Draco's shoulder all the time. He will keep blackmailing him. Lucius, I think will be more of a victim, in book 7, rather than the villian. LV, will not be very happy with him. He didnt come to look for LV when he was whisked away, as Vapourmort, he used the Diary to his own advantage and ended up getting it destroyed, he fouled up his plans to hear the prophosey in its entirety, and now, his son has failed to kill the man who LV is most afraid of. The Malfoys are marked men and woman, in LVs eyes. I think what DD says, is more of a forshadow for Dracos death though. "he cannot kill you if you're already dead, Draco!" This is a clue of both, DD's and Draco's death. Feedback Please!!

Thanks,

~~Prince~~
jarn
Prince- That is a very good theory about Draco's death. I agree.
I think he's going to get his candle snuffed in 7. He has it coming to him SOOOOO bad. I don't think it will be anything extravagant though unless Voldemort himself kills him. I think he will probably wither away of some deathly illness... I don't know, I sure would like to see it happen though. Don't get me wrong, Draco's cool in the bad way but I just want to see him go in 7, I mean otherwise unless he doesn't perofrm some huge act of redemption he's a marked man for the rest of his life- because Harry is going to kill Voldemort.


Randomness: I'm still awaiting Mod/HA approval to start the Sirius fan club.
lozza-cm
OH i am soo all ready signed up for a sirius fan club!!! well not really but as soon as one opens BAM i am in it!!! i love him more then any other adults i the books!!!

anyway...i dont want draco to die...i want draco to redeam himself...by saving hermione's life (i picked her coz i all ready have wormtail down as saving harry and percy down as saving ron and draco was always mean to hermione so now he has toi make up for it!) and draco and harry become good friends...i think i have been read the draco's seasons (3 fanfics about draco) to much!!! lol
jarn
Hmm.. He may very well save Hermione's life or something. Because it comes down to this-

He redeems himself by saving somebody
or
He is killed
because
Voldemort is going to be over, and thus so will Draco if he doesn't get it straight.

But Ron or Hermione are definitely going to die... I don't know which.


As for the SIRIUS club yeah I can't wait, I'm very anxious. A number of people have already expressed their anxiousness as well. I'm just waiting for that SUPERDUPER FANTASTIC GREAT I LOVE YOU TO DEATH mod to gimme the thumbs up. I was so puzzled as to why there isn't a Sirius club but perhaps it was just waiting for me lol. AND THAT SUPERDUPER FANTASTI... the mod that approves it lol.
gaburdette
Ok fellow Gryffindors, you have my head spinning. It seems you are discussing everything except what this thread is for. (with the exception of Nearly Headless Nick) If anyone needs reminding what this thread is for, please read the first post in this thread.

Please keep all topics being discussed somehow related to the House of Gryffindor. I should not be reading items like the locket as a Horcrux or Draco's fate in book seven. Neither have anything to do with our house. Please make sure you post those items in the appropriate threads.

jarn
Lol sorry! Okay, I have a valid question for the house-

House Cup, Book 7?

Any thoughts? I know it's irrelevant as the houses are going to be the least of everybody's worries in 7 but still lol. Gryffindor still has a very strong quidditch team you know...
prince_halfblood_22
Jarn, without Katie, Harry, and Ron, the Gryffindore Quidditch team is doomed. They are the best players on the team besides Ginny. The question is, if they do open the school, but the trio dont go, then who will become the captain, and who will be the new players, and what positions will they play. Sure, McLaggen can always become the new keeper, but, he did poorly in book 6, I dont see him as a likely candidate. Ginny may become the seeker again, and captain to boot. The chaser to take Ginny's spot, will probably be a new find, as will the keeper. The beaters will be whoever they were in book 6. Oh, yeah, to fill Katie's chaser position, then I think that it will be filled by a new find also. My vote for both chasers, is the Creevey brothers. They seem very intersested in quidditch, as all the wizarding world does. I think well learn that they have hidden talents, as chasers. Now, with those people on the team, I think that Griffindore, has a chance to gain the Quidditch Cup, for the 4th year since Harry started his school career at Hogwarts. Feedback Please!!

Thanks,

~~Prince~~
lozza-cm
I am Quite depressed that the quidditch is all over and i most probably wont read about a new game...that i don't know the ending of sad.gif but i don't think we will even find out who wins the house cup....and i think forsecurity reasons even if they had the good quidditch players..that quidditch will be cancelled for security reasons.
Bumblebee
I think that Jo Rowling said, in one of her interviews, that there was going to be no more Quidditch.

I know that Quidditch is a popular wizarding sport and that there are a lot of fun things to say about it, and that Harry is a very good Seeker, but ... a lot has been said already, the story isn't about Quidditch, Harry has other things to do, it's possible that he won't be thinking about Quidditch or the House Cup at all ... what are these compared to stopping Voldemort taking control over the world?

I do think that Harry will be going back to Hogwarts, however.

Perhaps Ginny will become the youngest Quidditch captain in Hogwarts history. She is a good player too.

prince_halfblood_22
IF they do continue quidditch, then does what position do some of you think that Ginny will play? She is good at both, seeking and chasing. I can see her taking Harrys position, because, well, lets face it, shes the second best seeker there is, out of the gryffindores that attend Hogwarts at this point in time. What about the other positions? Who do you think will fill those slots up? Here are the positions that would be opened, if Ginny becomes a Seeker, and Ron and Harry dont play quidditch anymore.

Keeper
Chaser
Chaser

Now, based on those positions, who do you think will take over for the player that has resigned from the team?

Ah, and if Ginny doesnt become a Seeker, then omit one of the Chaser positions, and substitute it for Seeker. Also, if Ginny decides to join the trio, then who will become the seeker also? If she dont become Captain, then who do you think will take the Captaincy over? Feedback Please!!

Thanks,

~~Prince~~
Bumblebee
It's impossible to guess. I think there will be a lot of new blood in the team from younger years. People who have not necessarily been mentioned by Jo Rowling, students who started at Hogwarts years after Harry started.

Maybe that was also one of the reasons to stop describing the matches - Jo Rowling had enough characters already. She wants to keep the focus on Harry, not on who's who in the Hogwarts crowd.

prince_halfblood_22
Yes, on that note, I would have to agree with you, Bumblebee. Now for another topic. Does anyone think Ginny will travel with the trio, to help them find and destroy the horcruxes? If so, then how would she best help them? Remember, she felt a horcruxes powers, firsthand. She may be able to sense the hidden enchantments, that surround a horcrux. Feedback Please!!

Thanks,

~~Prince~~
Bumblebee
I've got a sneaky suspicion that Ginny will have tasks of her own and perform a useful, if not crucial, function in the defeat of Voldemort. I've got some idea of what she might do, and what would bring her and Harry together in the end.

Unfortunately, I'll have to wait like everyone else for Book 7 before I can see if those suspicions were justified...

prince_halfblood_22
what ideas do you have that she may have to complete on her own, that may aid in the defeat of LV, Bumblebee? I would like to know. I love getting feedback from people, about the theories I have for certain things.

And, hello Ola, your viewing the thread because i see your name at the bottom of the screen. Owl me if you want to, I have something to discuss with you.

Thanks,

~~Prince~~
Bumblebee
Well, prince_halfblood_22, I have no specifics, but if I were JKR and in the process of writing the last book, I'd find it impossible to exclude Ginny, so I'd be working on a way to include her without violating the things I've set up for Harry, Hermione and Ron. Let's speculate a little...

(-a-) At the close of Year Six, Harry believes that he must set off alone, despite what Dumbledore and Lupin have said. Somehow, he must change his mind so that the trio can work like a team. Perhaps something will happen that convinces him more than the arguments of his friends.

(-b-) Even if Harry includes Ron and Hermione in his quest, he will not include Ginny. Ginny accepts this, but it is not in her nature to sit still. She has proven time and again that she's got plenty of spirit. So what will she do? If I were the writer, I'd let her discover something, and then follow it up on her own. She won't ask for help (partly because she is peeved at having been dismissed, partly because she is quite an adventurous type). Her discovery will get her to a very dark place.
No, it won't be the Chamber of Secrets revisited, but something else. I don't know what it will be exactly or where, but she'll meet an adversary there -- possibly even LV himself.
She will be in possession of information that is important to Harry, without any means of giving it to him. Here I'm guessing that it will be through the greed of her adversary that Harry will get the information after all, in the way that the Dark Side always digs its own grave.
Towards the end of the book, all the pieces come together. Harry will have to complete the puzzle, of course - and in the process of doing so, he and Ginny will be united. Perhaps they will fight the final battle together.

I'm glad that I'm not the writer of Book 7. It's quite a feat to bring everything togehter, and there will undoubtedly be little plot element seeds that we readers are missing. JKR is excellent at plotting. Remember how both sides of the Vanishing Cabinet were introduced in the earlier books, to pop up as a major element in the fifth? There will be more things like that, you can count on it.
prince_halfblood_22
Right you are, Bumblebee! Well said, well said indeed! I like plot b of your post. Ginny does seem to be the type that would rather investigate things, than to sit back and let the work be done by someone else. It reminds me of a Fanfic I read in Mugglenet. In it, Lupin had a fiance, named, katy, and sirius, had a wife, named halle. Halle had died, because, LV and his DEs attacked the reception party of Lilly and James' wedding party. Halle who was pregnant with a baby girl, by the name of, Cherrish Halle Black, died, from unbellical strangulation. Shortly after, Halle died of severe hemorrage. Some years after this, Katy found out a secret that was being hid from her, by Lupin, Sirius, and James. She found out that there was a traitor among the Potter friends, and she sought out to find him/her. Moody gives her a map that he used to tell where their were attacks on certain homes, from the DEs. She ventures to one that is unmarked, and finds the Potter's betrayer. It turns out to be, none other, than, Wormtail. He AKs her, and she dies. Sometime later the marauders get the call that she is dead, while Lilly is in the hospital, having Harry. Now, you may ask, why is this important to the going ons, of the trio and ginny, in the last book, to help them vanquish Voldemort. It is closely related to your plot, Bumblebee. Feedback Please!!

Thanks,

~~Prince~~
Bumblebee
Prince -- Yes, I remember you pointing out that story before. No need to repeat the storyline, in fact you have to be a little careful because we don't review fanfic stories in this thread, and repeated requests for review may be construed as unwanted plugging by the Mods ... usually we place fanfic links in our siggie, where it is allowed, and leave it up to the reader to go there and leave feedback if they feel so inclined.

I'm not going to write a fanfic about Ginny's role in Book 7, by the way; my story suggestions are a speculation only. LKR has written Ginny to be a little powerhouse. The few times that we've seen her in action she has been very good at fighting, and we've seen that she has a very strong will. Does anyone really believe that she'll be idle in Book 7?

She isn't telling Harry, but she'll be there.

prince_halfblood_22
oh, well, I wasnt trying to boost the reading of the fanfic. I was just repeating it, for those who dont feel like going that many posts backward, and reading. Also, I thought it reasonable to put that, because, it backed up my theory for supporting your plot "b".

Thanks,

~~Prince~~
lozza-cm
I think ginny will play an important roll in book 7...but i don't think she will be involved in the final fight...she might be there knocked out or something but she wont take fight this is the trios fight...well it's harry's but you can't hae harry with out the trio! and quite frankly i will be a little peeved if she does take part in it...don't get me wrong i love ginny she is one of my favorite charactors..but..it has always been the trio's adventures..not the trio plus another person now that harry has a girlfriend.
MyBroomstickIsBetterThanYours
So... basically I kind of agreed with lozza-cm. (good to have you back happy.gif )
I think Ginny will have an important role in book 7, but not a main one... She might be "with" the trio, but not a part of it.
I think maybe... Harry will tell her to stay somewhere, not to participate in the fight or something like that... but she'll end up going/coming to where ever he said not to go, and possibly get knocked out or something... Harry will get angry and fight in a fiercer (sp??) way or something.
Yeeeah... I also think we're going to hear about another couple... no idea who though. rolleyes.gif
Phoenix777
Hey everyone! I've just been sorted into Gryffindor! Woo-hoo!

Yeah, i agree, Ginny will have a significant role. Has anyone else realized how much like Lily she is? Headstrong, red-headed, kind, and compassionate. Harry is a perfect mix of his father and mother, so Harry and Ginny go together like green eggs and ham. I think that unless on of them dies (which I suspect Ginny will) they will be married in the last chapter.
lozza-cm
WELCOME TO GRIFFINDOR Phoenix777!!! always love new memberds biggrin.gif i agree that ginny is alot like lilly and i also think that ginny will die (oh gosh i hope i am wrong) but i don't think they will get married if she doesn't..i mean harry would have just killed LV i know he will feel relief that it is finally over but it's not as if someone goes "yeah i just comited murder, wanna get married?" it would be a sweet happy ending and i would like to think about it but i don't think it will happen!

and broomstick what couple are you talking about tongue.gif it better be ron and hermione and your not thinking about making Jo put you in the book's so you can marry professor flitwick tongue.gif LOL

After the Burial
I see I have missed much in my brief absence. Welcome to the thread new Gryffindors. Bumblebee, I agee entirely on your perception of Ginny. She does have a streak of independence (briefly illustrated in Chamber of Secrets) and is supposedly a gifted witch (I still wonder why she is not a prefect...that needs to be explained).

Lozza, why do you think that Ginny should not change the trio into a quartet? I agree that it should remain the trio, but I am always interested in justification for opinions.
prince_halfblood_22
I like the trio, but, a quartet would do the marauders respect. It needs to happen, so that not all quartets, get this bad wrap, that one will always be the traitor. Die Wormtail, Die! Sorry about that, I just cant believe he betrayed the Potters. Also, he pretty much, got the Order of Merlin First Class, all because, he framed Sirius, for the Potter's deaths, and attempted murder of Harry. Not to mention all those muggles, I mean, a dozen of them killed, with one curse!! Sheesh! Feedback Please!!

Thanks,

~~Prince~~
mjane95
HEllo. I am from Hufflepuff but as prince said in our thread a little Interhouse unity isn't bad. So in discussion to your topic I think Ginny would attempt to do something instead of staying still. I also agree with prince when Ginny should join the trio and do justice to James and the other marauders. Ponder and I will return in a couple of days
Lord Jak
I haven't really thought that much on this, but I'd say if anyone was to battle Voldemort in Book 7 it would have to be either Harry or Neville Longbottom. Afterall, both of them we're born near the same day, had about the same childhood and both of their parents were taken away from them by Voldemort (only Neville's parents are insane). The whole plot behind the story could actually be about Neville, just that everyone takes the plot to be about Harry since he is the one Voldemort is always after! But this is only my opinion sleep.gif





Shopping at Diagon Alley
prince_halfblood_22
Your views on this matter are very interesting, Jak. Yes, Jo could do that. She does say that, LV picked Harry over Neville, and chose him, as his worst enemy. What if he was mistaken? What if he marked Harry, and Neville is the true nemasis. Hm, Ill have to ponder this for a couple of days, and Ill get back to you on this. Good point though, Jak!

Thanks,

~~Prince~~

After the Burial
I think Dumbledore made it clear that Harry and Voldemort will hunt each other until one of them dies. As Prince noted, what if Voldemort is wrong? I do not think Neville feels the need to hunt Voldemort (as Harry does). His anger is based towards Bellatrix. For this reason, I do not think Neville will be involved in the final battle.

I for one would be disappointed to enjoy six books of adulation and plot surrounding Harry only to be presented with the situation "HA HA! You were wrong! The true hero is Neville!"
prince_halfblood_22
Yeah, guess your right there, Burial. This is one of those, Ill Throw My Book If, situations. Hm, what do some of you think of the participation of the DA, in book 7? personally, I think that they will be fighting the DEs too. Who do you think will fight who? Jo, goes into extensive detail in the preceding books, on who fights who. So, who will fight each DE? Feedback Please!!

Thanks,

~~Prince~~

After the Burial
<Mod Edit>

Prince, I honestly do not know the role of the DA. I think Hogwarts will reopen. I also hope that Harry returns. Assuming these are both correct, I suppose Harry will use the DA (and all trustworthy students who are old enough) to help keep the castle safe. I expect Harry would arrange a secret "watch dog" program the same way as he did at the end of HBP.

Concerning pairings, I don't think many of them matter. A Death Eater is a Death Eater. Of course, there are exceptions (Snape, Bella, Malfoys). Others are probably not important enough though.
GodricsHollow
I believe that i myself relate most to ron. i really dont know why but like the 13th time i read the GOF i realized i would probably do the same thing if i where in his situation. lol never really knew why though.
After the Burial
Welcome to the Gryffindor Common Room Hollow. Are you recently sorted? Anyhow, please feel free to join the discussions. New perspectives are always nice. [Mod Edit - Pseudo-Mod'ing]

So you are Ron? I am proudly a male Hermione. (This is mostly because I actually read textbooks in bed.)
jarn
ph34r.gif Howdy common room!

Final Battle: EVERYBODY, I mean absolutely everybody is going to be fighting. I really believe so. Unless it's another Voldemort-luring-Harry-to-a-secret-place-like-a-dumb-child-so-he-can-force-feed-him-some-green-jets-of-light-with-70 something death eaters. situation. I don't see why not. Maybe that's a little exaggerated, EVERYBODY I mean. But hell why shouldn't everybody fight? They have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Except their lives. But if the battle was lost WITHOUT anybody being there they would die anyways.

Welcome to Gryffindor Hollow!
After the Burial
I do not think Harry would want a great battle involving everyone. Too many people would get hurt, and Harry would not want that. I think it should be this way, because this would prevent Death Eaters from saying they were under control like they did before. Also, it provides a grand opportunity for great resolution. One giant swift, sweeping redemption.
jarn
A good point After. It may be out of Harry's control though as the final battles always are...

However, I'm pretty sure it will be somewhere of Voldemort's choosing.

I'm sure the last or second to last(Nagini, whether or not she's with Voldemort for the last battle) horcrux that is a portkey that's going to take Harry to wherever the battle is, but on the flip side I don't think JKR would set Harry up to finally kill Voldemort all alone against Voldemort and however many death eaters he has with him and whatever else odds, you know?

I don't know. Whatever happens I know Harry is killing Voldemort and Ron or Hermione is dying. And Lupin or McGonnagal. I don't know why considering those are all like my favorite living characters but I just have a very strong notion...
After the Burial
I am not sure. I know many people are convinced that Voldemort will discover that Harry is hunting the horcruxes, but I am not certain that he will. He is cunning, so it would seem likely that he would notice what Harry is doing. It seems more likely that he would notice since Harry is his greatest enemy (so Voldemort would watch him closely).

But Voldemort is also exceedingly arrogant. I do not think he would think a stupid 17 year old would be able to find, let alone destroy, one of his horcruxes. I would not be surprised if this cost Tom greatly in the end.

Oh, I hope you are wrong about Ron and Hermione. It will probably happen, but here is to wishful thinking.
