There has been much discussion on the final book in the Harry Potter series – much of it focussed on ‘Will he die? Will he kill Voldemort?’ This is too narrow a focus, and the bigger focus should be on the total destruction of magic. Here is the plot for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (well at least what I think it will be 
):
The Plot
The war between Harry Potter and Voldemort will reach a crescendo with both sides amassing armies on both sides. Voldemort will be the more powerful and all seems lost for the ‘forces of good’. Finally the forces of good discover a method to destroy Voldemort – however, using this method will destroy magic forever. No more magic, no more Hogwarts, everyone becomes a Muggle.
During the final battle, with Voldemort gaining the upper hand and on the verge of winning the war, Harry unleashes the secret weapon on Voldemort, killing him, but at the same time, removing all magic from the world. The last chapters of the book will deal with all the ex-wizards/witches dealing with life without the magic they had got used to relying on. Finally Ron and Hermione get married.
Continue reading for the justification …
Justifications for the Plot
Harry Potter will live
Although JK Rowlings has expressed the opinion that killing Harry would be good since it would stop people writing additional books, my plot suggestion of removing all magic from the world accomplishes that too. And it does this without killing off the central character of the book, which I think would be (a) too unpopular/traumatic for young readers and more importantly, (b) too obvious a plot line.
Voldemort will lose
At the simplest level, the Harry Potter series is about good versus evil where good triumphs through adversity. So Voldemort must lose. That could be either by dying, or by losing all access to magic. Either way, he loses.
The destruction of magic
I think this is a highly plausible plot theme for several reasons:
- it ‘kills’ Harry without physically killing him
- it ‘kills’ Voldemort without (necessarily) physically killing him
- it makes Harry’s ‘victory’ over Voldemort bittersweet since it sacrifices magic in the process. Sacrifice has been a recurring theme in the Harry Potter series and the destruction of magic to ensure the safety of the world fits right in.
- it’s not an obvious plot line – therefore there is the element of surprise which any author loves in their books

Well… that is a VERY good theory. Not something i’d considered, ever… but I have a question! How would they go about doing that? I cant see it possible to destroy all magic in the world, seeing as it flows through their blood and a wand only focuses that energy…
Zimmay, to use the counter-argument I saw on the COS Forums, we are all born with the ability to reproduce (that’s in our blood) … but that ability can be taken away by using chemicals, medical procedures or even the environment (eg too much radiation). Similarly, magic could be destroyed in a similar way. A similar story is played out in the X-Men movies – where there is a mutant gene that gives them their powers and the ‘bad’ people seek out a ‘cure’ that can eliminate this gene and render those currently with mutant powers powerless.

I think this is a very intriguing theory, but my issue with it is that since many of the books have included foreshadowing for later plot elements, I find it hard to imagine a totally unmentioned, not-even-hinted-at-as-being-possible conclusion being reached in the final novel. Are there any hints in the previous books for this being foreshadowed that I’ve missed?
16/08/2008 at 9:44 pm Permalink
Good theory but not possible, JK explicitly says that an unexpected student will become a teacher at Hogwarts. Which means that it must re-open at some point.
16/08/2008 at 9:45 pm Permalink
if a student becomes a teacher it would be none other than Hermione
16/08/2008 at 9:45 pm Permalink
I think that if the student that becomes a teacher at Hogwarts is “unexpected,” it’s gotta be Neville!!
16/08/2008 at 9:46 pm Permalink
i think that this is a very un-thought-of idea but i can’t immagin that j.k rowling will do something that drastic to end the series and if she does then i will be seriosly upset.
16/08/2008 at 9:46 pm Permalink
I still think that Harry might die at the end. I don’t think JK Rowling would do something that she didn’t foreshadow at all. I think that the only way that she can effectively end the series is by killing Harry and Voldemort at the end. You may think that that is too obvious an ending, but because of the theme that good triumphs over evil in the Harry Potter series, i really don’t think alot of people expect him to die.
16/08/2008 at 9:46 pm Permalink
That’s a pretty good theory but JK Rowlng keeps hinting that she might kill Harry, or at least one main character, besides Voldemort. She said that you have to make sacrifices. She also said that she killed 2 characters she hadn’t planned to kill.
16/08/2008 at 9:47 pm Permalink
i think if there is one main character that will be killed besides Voldemort, it will be Professor SNAPE.
16/08/2008 at 9:47 pm Permalink
An intriguing theory. However, I see it as extremely unlikely, as she has forshadowed something that big, nor has she even hinted at something having that kind of power. And as someone already mentioned, Hogwarts will have one of the students as a teacher. There wouldn’t be a need for Hogwarts in a world without magic. However, it is an interesting theory that caught me quite off guard.
As an afterthought, what would happen to the creatures that are inately magical, like the Pheonix’s, Dragons, and Centaur? Those creatures could not survive without magic.
16/08/2008 at 9:47 pm Permalink
I can’t kill magic if Hogwarts reopens as it is a school of magic. Malfoy is going to be the new Hogwarts teacher and also Ginny Weasley is the one who dies!
16/08/2008 at 9:48 pm Permalink
I think that if she kills Harry it would upset 99% of the readers and ruin the whole series, i would def not go see the rest of the movies if she kills Harry in the end, he’s been through so much, he deserves a happy ending!!!
16/08/2008 at 9:48 pm Permalink
i don think she’ll kill harry or wipe out magic.. i would mean a loss in revenue after the initial buying spree.. and a very talented writer can always bring him up like a phoenix..
let’s hope that it’ll be an end satisfying us all
16/08/2008 at 9:48 pm Permalink
I think its an interesting idea. its true that sacrifice has reoccurred but i think its a little far-fetched. Yes, her goal is to end the story, but i was more in the mindset that she would end it happily. like the lord of the rings. i also think harry and hermione will get together, but harry will realize that hes meant to be with ron. i hope ron dies. he is so annoying. harry wont die because its his book. voldemort will die though. “Deathly Hallows” makes me think of hell. i believe that harry and voldemorts war will end in hell, or the darkest and most sinister circle of the underworld. there harry will triumph because of his parents’ souls and the souls of all those who have died because of voldemort. (kind of like in the 4th book but different) and then they all live happily ever after. o btw. nick

Hello there
Your theory sounds believable the loss of the magical world in the Harry Potter books sounds like a great way to end everything.
IT would be indeed worse than killing Harry Potter or Voldemort alone.
Although, a great way for JK Rowling to stop the series from continuing.
But think about it, wouldn’t the very first witch or wizard of the magical world of Harry Potter would have made sure that there was no spell to destroy magic universally forever?
There is always an exception…so why not?
But I was thinking that as to where the story is leading, it would only make sense if Harry died. First of all, all those caring for him die one by one…James and Lily Potter, Sirius, then, Dumbledore the one Voldemort ever feared. With Dumbledore, and Harry’s mother out of the way, Voldemort has all his chances to just go up to Harry and kill him on the spot!
During all these books, he could have, but he never did—which leads me to a ridiculous idea that there would be some connection nothing friendly or sentimental, but that if Voldemort killed Harry, he would believe to be killing a part in himself too. The part that helped him to rise again in the 4th book.
Even if Voldemort killed off Harry, he would still not be completely satisfied. He has, first of all, has a servant who helped him relive under Harry Potter’s debt as Dumbledore says in the 3rd book. So Peter Pettigrew, might as well try in a way to help Harry or even consider it, but all the less go back to his evil master. Snape will NOT be a good guy, he will just go back to his original side! Are we forgetting here that HE killed the all-time wizard Dumbledore??OR that he made a binding contract, link, with Narcissa Malfoy, that he would watch over little brat Draco??
But what really kills me, is that JK Rowling is very likely to kill off Ron and Hermione who were just there to help Harry, making it impossible for them to ever truly love each other!
If JK Rowling is depressed now, I completely understand! In either way, each decision seems to have bad consequences! If Voldemort were to kill Harry, the dark world would triumph again, making the world far more dangerous to live in than it had ever been!
And if Harry were to find all the horcruxes and to kill off Voldemort, he would bear no more connection with the darkest wizard! I believe that deep down, some where in Harry, his connection with Voldemort, is a part of his strength…this may sound ridiculous but it sounds like it!
Harry can speak parseltongue just like the dark lord, they are both half blood, grew up with muggles, share the same type of wand–if either of them is killed, I believe that it would ruin the living one remaing all the less!
Not everyone who cares about Harry is gone! We are forgetting Lupin, who knows a great deal and who is in the Order. Rumor says that since Pettigrew has a silver arm, this might kill off Lupin, since silver arms are the ultimate weapons to kill off werewolves.
JK Rowling lured herself into a trap, and in either way she cannot get herself out of it! If she kills Harry, she is killing herself too! Harry is the reason of her riches! Harry is the reason as to why JK Rowling doesn’t have to write in a cold café, because she didn’t have a heater in her house!
She will be miserable no matter what she does-I’m sure that each character means something to her, even Voldemort.
One thing I love about the 6th book, is that Jk Rowling makes us see that we cannot conquer our ennemies without knowing a great deal about their lives! If Harry didn’t know that Voldemort considered Hogwarts as his first and true home, or that he loved valuable objects, Harry would never have had one idea of where to search for the horcruxes
One thing I don’t understand is that Ron and Hermione would be ready to abandon Hogwarts to go help Harry search for his Horcruxes? Well they have had indeed a very long lasting friendship, but to go that far is incredible. Apparently, JK Rowling has told us that two of the main characters will die, which I believe will be through the searching for the Horcrux process or facing Voldemort.
My comment here isn’t really helping anybody, but just saying that Rowling lured herself into a trap that will be very tricky indeed to get out of.
My best to all Harry Potter fans

Right. Here’s the theory that will sway all of your minds and put them to ease when it finally happens.
For those of you who read all of the books, (obviously everybody) there is one logical conclusion that I’ve been able to come to.
Remember the Horcruxes they set off to destroy at the end of the 6th book? After they have destroyed all of them but one, they will come to the realization that Harry is the final Horcrux. He must die in order for Voldemort to die. And if you recall, there were two children born the day Harry was… Himself, and Neville Longbottom. The theory was that the child born on this day would be the end-all, be-all of Lord Voldemort. The book’s series was focused on the wrong child, however. With the final Horcrux destroyed, and Voldemort vulnerable, Neville takes him out with the pain and fury that only a child who grew up with insane parents caused by dark magic would give. Neville Longbottom, unsuspected hero, but obviously so. You can’t make that much of a prat out of somebody throughout the whole series and NOT expect big things to happen.
Thanks for your time.

Well, it has been some great theories here how the 7th book will end. I just hope none of you get disappointed when you read the book
.
I have also thought about the possibility that magic disappears from the world but I don’t think Harry is a horcrux. Voldemort wants to kill Harry so why turn him into a horcrux? Then he must live if Voldemort wants to maintain his “immortality”. An interesting theory though, caught me off guard
I hope for a happy ending! I’m tired of all this heroic deaths. But she said two characters will die…
Oh well we will find out 21th July
Bye!

If Ms. Rowling does kill HP, then she slays the goose with the golden eggs. Merchandising would drop to nil and backlash would be dreadful. And it would just be wrong!
16/08/2008 at 9:52 pm Permalink
In your responce to “Zimmy” you mention the “Cure” in the x-men movie. well at the very end of the move you see that the cure is ineffetcive (magneto moves a chess piece) so there for i can’t take your responce seriously. also i feel that if JKR was to “kill” off magic it would be more troubling to young adult readers because that would be like taking away their imagation. Magic i feel is the basis of JKR world that she’s imagined and let us as readers become a part of, and why yes this would in fact leave her in peace from writing another book she would inturn be killing the imagined world that we all visit time and time again when we read and reread her books
16/08/2008 at 9:52 pm Permalink
i think that is the worst theory ever…where do people come up with this stuff. jk rowling is much more talented than that and will come up with a much more creative ending to this amazing series. i would be very dissappointed if that was the ending.
16/08/2008 at 9:53 pm Permalink
Man I hope you are wrong. Magic destroyed? How depressing. I am also a Star Wars fan and destroying magic would be like destroying the force. The universe would not be able to go on with out it. As for who is going to die I don’t think it will be Harry, but I would put money on either Ron or Hermione. Ginny is also a possiblity, although I hope not because I really like her.
16/08/2008 at 9:53 pm Permalink
Hello all. Very good theory but personally I think Harry might die. I would be more sad if magic ended then if Harry dies. But it’s up to J.K. Rowling and none of us will know until it finally comes out. And for all of you who want a happy ending, even if Harry dies it will be happy- he would get to be with his parents which is what he has wanted all his life, right?
16/08/2008 at 9:54 pm Permalink
i think that with all the d*** horacruxes around that killing voldomort is highly unlikly. Instead of removing magic from the WHOLE world good will find a spell that temporarly takes magic from voldomort. then harry would kill voldomort, but become (mabye mortaly) injured in which case harrys power would be substatilly weakend and become the new defense teacher. sorry it was long, but its not easy to find a harry plot that i could fully agree with
16/08/2008 at 9:54 pm Permalink
Thats a good theory about the upcoming book, but i really dont think that that’s possible. Not that i would love for Harry to live and he kill Voldemort in to pieces. I just hope that Voldemort dies, Harry lives and marries Ginny, Ron and Hermione becomes a couple in the book and life, ( J.K said that some how there going to end up together, no matter what anyone says.) and that malfoy and voldemort ( two people dies).
But i dont know, i might be wrong, and probabaly am, but i have a mind.
( p.s I hope Harry, Ron and Hermione doesnt die. And if she kills Harry it makes the books pointless of all the fighting with Voldemort or the dementors. So i dont think she’s going to kill him.)
16/08/2008 at 9:55 pm Permalink
Jeez! reading all of your comments was an abnormally funny way to waste time! although i am not the biggest harry potter fan in the world, i have read the books and seen the movies. You are all a smart bunch, but now i must tell you what will actually happen…not! why dont you all just wait until whenever the book comes out…sometime n july? btw, whoever said that jk rowling trapped herself, with this inevitable ending, i completely and thouroughly agree. does anyone else have any interestiong ideas?
16/08/2008 at 9:55 pm Permalink
Well what vivid imaginations we all have. Lots of great theories here and it could go either way.
My question or thoughts are thus: Could Harry really kill someone? I’ve been thinking, I guess if your angry enough any one can kill but you have to be in the right situation and the right time…. Way can’t Harry use the abelivate charm like the one Professor Lockhart use “on him self”. Wouldn’t that be just as effective? Theoretically it could be use on all the death-eaters. For that matter do you see Ron or Hermione killing? I’m not sure which of the main characters will be killed off , I was so up set when Dumbledore was killed off I cried for days and was depressed for weeks…I’m not sure how I’ll handle it if someone like Lupin or Hagrid were to die, those are other rumors I’ve heard.
Someone above wrote something about the silver hand the Perrigrew now has is suppose to kill werewolves? I had not heard or read anything of regarding that.
I also hope they keep the magic…. I just don’t think the books will have the same meaning as the years pass and we read the books over and over knowing the ending at that point is one thing knowing there is no more magic will kind of ruin the first 6 books.
So these are just my thoughts…
16/08/2008 at 9:55 pm Permalink
because of the great connection between harry potter and voldemort, i guess if voldemort kills harry potter, voldemort will lose all of he’s magical abilities. maybe that’s why, he still didnt kill harry potter when he got a chance. the same way goes with harry potter, if he will be successful in killing voldemort, he will lose all of his magical abilities. that’s one way of ending the story. if harry potter dies and voldemort cant use magic, im sure he will be definitely be captured. if voldemort dies and harry potter cant use magic anymore, then its one way of ending the franchise.
if jk rowling will change her idea of making an 8th book, maybe she’ll find a way to make voldemort restore his magical abilities if harry potter gets killed in book seven and find a way to resurrect harry or maybe just a spirit or something else and if voldemort is the one who gets killed. harry potter will find a way to restore all his magical abilities and maybe voldemort will somehow find a way to comeback for whatever reason i cant think of.
its just a possible idea on how to end harry potter and a way to continue the story after book seven.
sorry for my gramatical errors, im not really good in english…
16/08/2008 at 9:55 pm Permalink
That is a really good prediction, and I do agree that sacrifices are made in every Harry Potter book. But what about the title: Deathly Hallows? The prediction does not say much about that. I think what will happen is that Harry does kill Voldemort, but in return, he gives his own life. Sort of like a sacrificial spell Moody or someone teaches him. That also does not sa much about the itle, but oh well. Your prediction is good, though.
16/08/2008 at 9:56 pm Permalink
also, this theory of mine, will fit that one of harry’s classmates will become a teacher of hogwarts.
maybe the last horcrux is a friend of harry, but it is too hard to think that harry might be the last horcrux.
16/08/2008 at 9:56 pm Permalink
i think Neville is going to become the new herbology teacher in hogwarts.
16/08/2008 at 9:56 pm Permalink
These have been some mighty fine arguments, so how about one more. First, while JK does want to end the series for good, I think the “death of magic” idea is too extrem and quite silly. Keeping other writers from continuing the story and killing the whole HP created world are completely different.
Now as for possiablities for #7, I think the idea that JK has forshadowed some of it is quite possiable. Maybe with shops disappearing on Diagon Ally, maybe its the Weasly twins that die. Now for foreshadowed surprises, how about this, with the offer to Malfoy ,” He cannot kill you if you are already dead. Come over to the right side, Draco, and we can hide you more completely than you can possiably imangine.” I think Dumbledore himself is not dead and will help by the end. Maybe Snape too. As for student teachers, I like Neville, Hermione, and maybe even Luna or Malfoy.
I do expect a fairly happy ending with good prevailing in ways only JK can. Thank you Ms Rowling for your books, they have ALL been most intertaining!
16/08/2008 at 9:57 pm Permalink
I think that this theory is great but inaccurate. I believe that since she forshadowed the death of Harry that it will more than likely happen. It is possible Rowling could suprise us and let them live. What would be wonderful is if the magic is dimminished but it reverses the death of those innocent souls killed by Voldemort or any other evil witch or wizard. It would give Neville his parents, Harry his, Dumbledore, and Serius Black back. I only hope that Harry DOES NOT DIE. I believe that the magic will be reversed but I agree with Michael. What would happen to the magical creatures that cant live w/o magic. Such as Hippogriffs and House elves, and Pixies…etc….etc. Besides that-I CANT WAIT TIL IT COMES OUT-BUT I ALSO KINDA DREAD IT!!!! I DONT WANT IT TO END!!!!!
i also think that possibly Harry is the last Horcrux. I mean Voldemort “tried” to kill him-maybe he was placing a part of himself there at the beginning of the very first story so the only way to kill Voldemort would be for the only person able to kill him(being Harry) would have to “sacrifice” himself. Sad-but very possible.

i think harry will be fine and hermine and rone they will all thre run hogworts voldimort will finally die and thw wizaedry world will go on for the next gennerashion think about it evil has to finally die soharry will be with hermine and ron will find someone from the blue suiit girl that came when all the schools where in one place and gennie will be with nevil think about it harry and hermine have things in comen well the ending will be that harry and hermine will get married and run hogworts with ron and the other teachers
16/08/2008 at 9:58 pm Permalink
Firstly, I think Dumbledore will come back as a ghost. I know this sounds a bit ridiculous, but it would be a way for him to still help Harry . I think one of the deaths will be Minerva McGonagall. I also think that Harry will obviously not come back to school, but will not stop learning about magic, and will train with Moody or Tonks or Lupin or somebody. I am also a huge fan of the Harry is a horcrux theory. If you think about, Voldemort said Harry’s mother didn’t have to die, and Voldemort was intending on using Harry’s life for the last horcrux, but when his mother died, Voldemort used her life as a horcrux. Who really knows though, just giving my thoughts.
16/08/2008 at 9:58 pm Permalink
I’m, i don’t think that all the magic will disappear, that is totally stupid. I think that harry and hermione will get married. I hope that ron dies, he’s so annoying and yuk. The two main people i think will die is ron and voldemort. Also that maybe ginny and neville will get together. hey did you know that i’m playing football in may, i start training next wednesday. Go the hawks!!!! I’m a girl and 13, by the way!!!! h/hr rules!!!!!!!
16/08/2008 at 9:58 pm Permalink
I don’t think that magic will be completly removed from the world. I think that Voldemort will use Ginny as a bait to get Harry and Harry goes to save her. Voldemort then manages to kill Harry, but Ginny manages to break free and her, Hermione and Ron all join together and kill Voldemort themselves.
Then Ron and Hermione will kiss,
Then at the end of the book, in the last few chapters it will speak about Ron, Hermione and Ginny and what they are doing and so on.
I also think that another cool and unexpected plot will be Fleur (or Phlegm) is a Death Eater or is under the imperious curse and is feeding Voldemort information from inside the Ministry of Magic.

I’ll give you the credit that your theory is pretty original… but, r u serious? J.K. herself said that 1 of Harry’s classmates would become a teacher at Hogwarts School of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY, also that although she said it wasn’t positive, she is not cancelling out the possibility of an eighth book. Besides that’d just plain suck. A world without magic do you want to deprive millions of young children of the hopes or dreams that they can fly around on brooms come there 11th birthday? It’s okay kids there is still magic in the world, lol. I’m very interested though to find out the significance that aunt petunia will play (being that she will play a vital role), what further signicance Lily Potter plays, why Dumbledore had “a gleam of triumph” in his eye once he heard that Voldemort used Harry’s blood to resurrect his body, and who this mysterious R.A.B character may be (could be Regulus Black, Sirius’ younger brother).

O Crap, Hermione Will Marry Ron. I thought Harry Potter Would
16/08/2008 at 10:00 pm Permalink
Good theory. But I think only Harry Potter will lose his magical powers, which would really make sense. Harry has always been a misfit in the magical world and by losing his powers, he would be making the ultimate sacrifice.
But then I suggest he finds some work at Hogwarts, as a teacher of History (which he is not great at), and he shall be known as the famous non-magical teacher, who at least has a story relevant to his class. After all, Harry Potter would be the most important historical graduate in the history of Hogwarts!
(Plus this always leaves open the possibility of a sequel if Rowland so wishes, but in the meantime, Potter has no powers).
16/08/2008 at 10:00 pm Permalink
Here’s what I think will happen. I’m on the boat that Harry is Voldemort’s final Horcrux. Harry finds this out and in the final battle lets Voldemort know that if he kills Harry he kills himself. Voldemort doesn’t listen, thinks he still has 4 Horcruxes, and kills Harry. While he’s doing his victory dance Snape comes up behind Voldemort and kills him, and he really dies because he has no more horcruxes.
16/08/2008 at 10:00 pm Permalink
I think this is one of loony lunas theories. Harrys magic may be destroyed if he kills voldermort as when voldermort cursed him,he inherited many of his powers. However I think it is too fat saying that all magical will come to a stop. It would ruin the rest of the books!!
16/08/2008 at 10:00 pm Permalink
er… here goes, from a non-fan who hears too much of it from my partner to ignore this guff….
Neville turns out to be the chosen thingy (born on same day or something wasn’t he?)
Snape turns out not to be bad and didn’t really kill Professor whojamaflip, it was a plan to get old “I’m a troll, volderoll” to come out of the wood work.
16/08/2008 at 10:01 pm Permalink
That is ridiculous, I would burn the 7th book and write my own if that happened. As if JK would do it anyway, she would sooner let Voldemort rule the world and enslave all muggles, mudbloods and bloodtraitors and personally I would prefer that. Atleast there is always a slim chance good magic will shine through. You are an idiot.
16/08/2008 at 10:01 pm Permalink
harry is the last horcrux. his aunt wouldnt let him go to hogwarts because she got th letters telling him he had to come to stop voldemort. her aunt freaked and said no.
16/08/2008 at 10:02 pm Permalink
look it is such a harsh reality but i think harry may die and go back to his parebts while killing voldemort all the same. i agree with tim harry may just be the last horcux but trav you are on the right page too i would burn the seventh book if that happened too ther is a very good chance harry will prevail and triumph over voldemort people who think voldemort may in fact triumph is an idoit and should gfo stick there faces in a toaster

Percy dies while trying to keep the secrets of the Order of the Phoenix.
He has taken the Unbreakable Vow, but is tortured by Snape and chooses to give up a known fact rather than something useful and dies because of it.
Small spoiler but spoiler non-the-less.

I agree that Voldermort will die he has lost at least 2/7 or more of his soul. He has also killed a unicorn that in itself has cost him half his life and it is curesd. How much of his soul did he kill will he kill Harry parents.
The magic world can not beremoved from the world because it is wornen into the fabric of the world and the living. Where what happens to the creatures of magic, wands, spells, curses, jinxs etc. the magic still exists. Even if it is removed I do not think it can be removed from the witch and wizard it will resurf.
Draco will die he is to scared and with him Snape will die or Volermort does not trust Snape and tortured dies and Draco dies. Remember his and will torture him and he will die and Draco too. Draco morther went against orders when she asked for Snape help and her sister did not like, she will probably tell to get in good with Voldemort.
Snape did appear to enjoy killing Dumbledore.
But remember he hesiated both Dumbledore and him know legilimens and occlumency what transpired???
I think Percy could die because he has know idea what and who he has gotten into.
Maybe somebody in the Wealsey family, some a the DA members.

Harry won’t die and here’s my reasoning.
JKR said that she wrote book seven in a way that no one else will be able to continue.
If she kills Harry, someone can easily say he didn’t die or was only stunned, etc.
After all, Arthur Conana Doyle killed off Sherlock Holmes and people still brought him back.
The only possible way she can permanently end the series is to have a very well detailed epilogue that clearly and completely wraps up all loose ends and sub-plots. Only then will the story be complete to the point that it can’t be continued.
However, she said nothing about anyone being able to write prequels except thata fter book 7 we’d have all the backgorund info we need.
I do wish she’d write a book about Dumbledore’s history though.

The destruction of magic? Please? Your an idiot! why would J.K.Rowling write that magic can be destroyed? Thats a shitty redicoulus ending and far beneath her. She has said she will kill two main characters, now think, who are the two most important characters in the story line? Harry and Voldemort. Obviously voldemort dies, it would be a terrible ending if he didnt. Now take a minute and think about Harry, when attacked by Voldemort as a baby Voldemort almost killed himself. Why? Because he made Harry, or at least his scar, a Horcrux. That would explain exactly why the link between Harry and Voldemort exists. Sure killing Harry in the end would suck but if you read any other great literature you find it is the fate of great people to die before they can see the effects of their “mission” lived out after them. If you think about it killing Harry to kill Voldemort is the perfect tragic ending.

wouldnt it be much nicer if Harry will be reveald as the last horcrux… in the end, would sacrifice, killing himself to kill Voldemort… for the sake of saving the wizarding world…? tragic…

Hey, everyone, how about this???
NEVILLE is the last Horcrux!
Harry is faced with the decision of killing Neville or allowing Voldemort to live. Remember the prophecy? “Neither can live while the other survives”… it was talking about Neville all along! And I came up with that all by my little self!
What do you think?

harry has to die no matter what b/c he is the 7 horcrux of voldemorts soul. i think when voldemort killed harry a piece of his soul got mixed in harrys soul…. dont know if maybe harry can
destroy his inner soul but deathly hallows sound like a tree. mabye a tree where all souls return or where voldermorts other horcrux may be located?

this is ridiculus
plus harry rn and hermione live
J. K. Rowling was asked which 5 charectors she would want to have lunch with
and sh immediately said harry ron and hermione
but stopped saying “you see i know who actually dies in the end” and asked wether she ould invite dead people
so in short i beleive they do live

i reckon tht mcgonagal dies and malfoy is the teacher. Nevill must have a big part because all the way through there has been signs to link him to harry but never strongly, and why is he in griffindor he isnt brave or tht stuff, the hat sees inside and i think nevill is going to play out as importante, i reckon dumbeldor returns as a guide but not alive and i think snape isnt evil if he is it all seems to perfect. But my main plot idea is that in the last page harry wakes up from a 18yr coma and it was all a dream, now tht would be cool.

Maybe neville is the seventh horcrux and he must die with Valdemort. In doing so everything reverses back to when harry was a baby and gets to live out a normal wizard life with his parents alive, but no neville or valdemort.

i believe the past memories that dumbledore showed will play a role in where harry should look for the horcruxes, i also belive Harry wil die as he is 1 of the SEVEN horcruxes that is significant. this is because voldemort used Harry’s blood to regain power/regenerate. therfore the scar signifys that. snape isn’t evil he himself leads Harry to voldemort. it maybe that Harry is not the chosen one and voldemort got it wrong this is because the imposter only herd a bit of the prophecy, therfore voldemort gambling on who was the child he must kill. voldemorts name maybe significant in the final book.

I think Harry marries Ginny or Luna and Ron marries Hermionie and some weasilys die. I think fred or George or both won’t survive. I think Hagrid will be head master or Percy or McGonagle.
