Predictions for the 7th Harry Potter Book

[JEM]

Anyone have some interesting predictions on what will happen to Harry in the last book?

[Oblivion]

no predictions, but i really hope that Harry doesnt actually drop out of Hogwarts

[Unwilling]

I hope he dies.

[JEM]

I think Draco Malfoy will change to the good side, Snape won't.

[oror]

Hey
I LOOOVE harry potter its my all-time obsession... And no way, i donno who wrote that s/he hopes HARRy will DIE - but don't evveerr hope that. i know what is happening in the 7th book anyway, i read a whole 3 page summary by JKROWLING on the Net:
<this wont be 3 pages, im summarizing it into 3 sentences!!!>
- The book will mainly focus on Harry trying to find all Voldemort's horcruxes and get them destroyed, plus, it is not decided yet if he will go to Hogwarts again. If he does, he will be taking his NEWTS and deciding what to be when he is older which is most likely an AUROR. At the end of the book she has written an Epilogue, which is all about what happens to everyone at the end, where they go, who gets married to who, etc. OH YAH - okay one more sentence - ANOTHER DEATH WILL COME IN THE BOOK
stay tuned, cant wait for more!:) :idea: :bigsmile: :smile1:

I don't think Harry will become an auror. He didn't have high enough grades on his OWLS. I think an exception from a guy who hates him, the Minister of Magic, is unrealistic.

As for the death, I think it will be Hermione or Ron, not Harry. J.K. Rowlings likes death and promised it, but I don't think she will go as far as killing Harry. At least I hope not!

[oror]

yep. i think its ron, to be honest... and i actually never thought about his grades. just the fact that he was really considering it. so what CAN he be?:wondering

[Isis]

I think he would end up as an Auror -- his grades were fairly good, he can always improve by the time he hits NEWTs. I don't like the fact that there's going to be a prolouge, though. I like it when books reach the end and they end; it lets you imagine if you want to and gives you a good ending feeling. Saying what happened to everybody just kind of...ruins it.

I'm all for Snape being good. He's good dammit. He had something up his sleeve along with Dumbledore - who, by the way, better not come back. he can't pull a Gandalf/Obi-Wan. Nuh-uh. No.

[Isis]

wth, I can't edit!?
Boo.
I meant epilouge in my second sentence. I transpose stuff in my head all over the place.
I don't like the epilouge thing. There.

[Turpentine Kisses]

Okay, well...Isis, you and I would obviously have fun debating a lot of stuff.

I personally, want Dumbledore to come back, but just to tell Harry goodbye, and stuff like that. Maybe as a temporary spirit, though that is very unlikely.
And as for Snape, I know that he is bad, always has been bad, and I hope he dies. But that's just me.

I also see that no one has touched SHIPS at all. I would like to start that debate.

My Fantasy SHIPS:
Draco and Hermione || S.S. Leather and Libraries
Harry and Ginny || S.S. Orange Crush
Ron and Luna || S.S. Looney Lions

Most Likely SHIPS:
Ron and Hermione || The Good Ship
Harry and Ginny || S.S. Orange Crush

I kinda don't think that Draco will end up with anyone but Pansy, but I can't remember their SHIP name. Oh, btw, I got all these names off of Fiction Alley.org.

I don't want Dumbledore to come back either. That would be freaky and wouldn't add anything. He told Harry everything he needs to know.

I think Snape is bad...remember our debate from August-ish... the unbreakable vow he promised means that Malfoy must also change over to the good side. Plus, I don't like Snape, maybe he will die.

[Cierra]

Snape is a paradox for me. I don't think he's all bad though I certainly don't like him and I hate the fact that he killed Dumbledore.
As for Dumbledore coming back... I doubt it. that'd just be weird.

[Oblivion]

i dont think Dumbledore will come back, nor do i want him to, it'd be odd. I hope Snape some how redeems himself, i liked it better when he was the mean guy, but not bad.

[Inwe Ringil]

Yeah, Dumbldore coming back would just be too weird.
I also hope Snape redeams himself. He and Sirius were my fav. characters.

[Cierra]

Sirius:( I was so sad when he died. he was my favorite. I really hated the way he died too. A stupid viel thing! He wasn't even outright murdered! He just fell! Blah!
I have a horse named Syrus Black:smile1: Not sure why the spelling's different. We got him from a friend who's obsessed with Harry Potter.

[rentonsshygirl]

WEll, I just jopined this thing, but you want predictions? some are obvious, others are meh, alot are speculation.

~ Harry as a Horcrux. Highly unlikely. DD said himself, it would be unlikely for Voldemort to make a living thing a horcrux. Why would he risk harry that way? Nagini for that matter. They could both die, like any living thing, and then, there goes 1/7th of his soul right there. True, it could have been on accident, but, how would you make an accidental horcrux? You would have to say the spell right? Its not like a fully loaded rusty gun thats been sitting in the everglades since 1982, about to go off due to a rusted coil/spring. I dont think he made it on acident, and I dont think the scar is a horcrux either, as another said it, "The scar is not a physical item/object, away friom the skin that wears it." I love how they addressed that. But you see, the scar could not be a horcrux in and of itself.

~ R.A.B. Aaah, good ole Regulus Black. I have found that I am not the only reader who believes in his deeper connection in the future book. You may deeply disagree with me here, but hear the reasoning. In HP and the OoTP, you hear about Regulus. However, you never hear his middle name. It may have arisen in previous books. Also, in the same conversation, Sirius says "paraphrasing - By the time he realized what he was in, he was in too deep to get out." For a brief moment, i thought of undercover work for the ministry. It happens all the time in reality, where an agent will go into hostile waters undercover for up to years, and its surprising just how many fall in too deep to turn back, or get lost in it. Doubtful. Highly doubtful. Perhaps, he had a revelation, and decided the best thing to do, was destroy what he could, when he could, and why did Sirius have to refer to Regulus as "He was probably not important enough to be killed by Voldemort himself." Maybe he was killed by voldy himself. He has to be dead, right? The black family tree has registered his death, unless by some strong magic, a spell was placed on it to show he was dead, and is hiding out.

~ Petunia. Yes, the crane. Could she possess magic? This has bumtumbled in my head a bit, and I wonder, could her pure hatred for Lily come, only because she was not accepted into Hogwarts as well? Sheer envy? Perhaps thats where that spawned from, or her powers came about late. Regret. Such a strong emotion, for any character, fiction, or factual. Perhaps she regrets not reconnecting with her sister, and taught herself to hate her sister. Could it be even, and this is going WAAAAY out on a limb here, that Petunia could have ties to the dark lord? Well, think of it, voldy had to have gotten his wand back somehow, so, who retrieved it? could it have been Petunia, who was driven so insane by jealousy, she stayed for dinner and a movie? (God, i would hate to see what voldy had to pay for THAT date) You never know. Perhaps, she really does care for Harry, but cant stand showing him, because she fears losing him, and doesnt want to feel the pain. Who knows.

~Snape. YES! I find it hard to believe that Snape really has turned back to the dark side. Maybe there is more to his dark betrayal than what some think. It seems, that Snape (and read this carefully) had a sort of obssessive love with Lily Potter. Disagree if you would like, however! The potions book that harry used in HBP, also had girly handwriting in it. Certainly not snapes, (or IS it... does, someone like a little village people?) Since lily was also good at Potions, though it seems Charms was her cup'o tea, perhaps they actually shared that book, and made it together, revising, and editing it. you never know. Is that why he hangs onto that memory? Of snapping at Lily? Could she have had something for him, something that he gave up right at that moment? As well, could that be why he has been saving Harry? Alot of people say, "Well, it was the debt he owed James." or "But he hates harry, anybody could see it." Yes, but why hasnt he killed harry yet? Or at least hurt him more than he could have. My guesstimation? Love. His hatred for James Potter, that drives him to insanity, but his undying love for Lily, that stays his hand. Notice how, even though she was muggleborn, he never says anything bad about her, though he seems to be all over james, remus, sirius, and peter? Why is that?

Well, those are some of my predictions for now, if you like what i have to say, then i will put up some more, but go through and reread those spots, things will start to click.

[Dominique]

I've read alot of people's thoughts/opinions on Snape/Lily, which are pretty interesting. But your ideas sound good (rentonsshygirl) and I agree with most of the R.A.B. stuff. That topic has certainly sparked a lot of debate all over the net!

People have really good questions & theories--we'll just have to wait for the 7th book and hopefully all of our questions will be answered =)

About Dumbledore, I don't really think he'll come back. It looks like Harry is pretty much on his own. There's most likely going to be a fight between Harry and Voldemort, but I wonder how the prophecy will be fulfilled?

[rentonsshygirl]

Thank you. I have been rereading the books for some sort of clue as to what the last book is going to be like. I am REALLY curious, as to wether there might be something deeper with Harry's father involved in all of this. Or his mother. There must be, right? Why stress her eyes? its been said numerous times by numerous people (E.G.- Lupin, black, slughorn) That he has his mothers eyes. What is His fathers family like? You never hear anything about them, or what they were like. Once or twice i thought, "how cool would it be, if voldemort was Jame Potter's father?" I mean, they look almost exactly alike, Harry and Tom Riddle. Is there a deeper connection between them? I dont know.

No, I dont believe that dumbledore will join the Ranks of Obi Wan Kenobi, and Mufasa. He is gone. Perhaps, he will return to the school. spend his summer at 12 Grimmauld place, then go back and find clues, yes, thats where i think he will find most of his answers, at the place it all started where his parents were confronted by the dark lord himself. perhaps there is something there, that will help Harry. Or something that will make him finally realize or understand something. I do however, believe that Fawkes is going to play a huge role in the next book. I have encountered alot of people saying no, but remember. Fawkes only answers to those who are true to Dumbledore, and HArry? He is Dumbledores man Through and Through.

[Dominique]

I wondered about Lily/Harry's eyes too! You're right--it's been mentioned so many times!

I also wondered about Lily and James and what their jobs were to earn so much money! I hope we learn more about Harry's parents and family!

There are so many possibilities (good point about Fawkes!) out there and so much suspense!

I wonder what the other horcruxes are? Although I read someone's theory about Harry's scar being one, I find it unlikely, even though it seems like a neat idea!
What if something like Voldemort's wand was a horcrux? (but that would mean he used another wand to make his into a horcrux, and wizards/witches sometimes lose their wands; seems kinda risky)

[rentonsshygirl]

His wand being a horcrux, as you said, would be unlikely, because, as you said, he could have lost it, easily. As well, wands do break, (as we learned from our dearest Mr. Ron Weasly and his unfortunate near Hit and Fly Anglia accident from the second book.) As well, like they learned in their first or second year, spells dont work as well when you use someone else's wand. It is likely, and i am curious, as to wether Voldys wand, reacted to him, as Harrys reacted. You dont see that, maybe it could be why ollivander went missing.

[Dominique]

True. I wonder what the other horcruxes are? We know that the diary is one, Voldemort has to have part of his soul as well, the locket, the cup, the one Dumbledore destroyed, so what are the others? Where are they?

Wizards and witches depend heavily on their wands! Ollivander just went, why? To where? Now I'm curious about so much more! I hope the 7th book will satisfy readers and answer our questions!

[rentonsshygirl]

You know, I almmost wonder sometimes, if Fawkes could be a horcrux. Think of it. Dumbledore said that Voldy likes trophies, right? Well, to turn Fawkes into a horcrux, would definitely be a trophy. Not only is it so close to Dumbledore, but it is right there under Dumbledore's nose, and, like Voldemort wants, Fawkes is a Pheonix. Immortal. Technically, Fawkes doesnt really die, his soul is the same over and over. Perhaps because he is immortal, a piece of his soul will be too, since Fawkes, is undoubtedly the pheonix that resides in harry and Voldys wand to some degree. So they are both connected to Fawkes. :idea: That just makes me curious about it. I mean, i am not saying it is, but I thought about that. I also wonder, what the epilogue is gonna be like.

YES! I want the epilogue! The reason is, if there is none, then it leaves the books open for a sequal. Please, the series is too good to ruin with a sequal. A prequal... MAYbe. But, having an epilogue to wrap it all up, is just like, the end. Really, the end. No more. It will make it alot sadder too knowing its the end. I mean, I started reading them when I was 13, two years after the firsdt one came out, and as you grow, the book grows, the characters grow, and its like you grow with and with some people, INto the books. Everything is becoming darker for Harry, as he matures, and is more knowledgeable about the world around him. I hope they dont go through too many more Directors for the movies though. As much as i liked each movie, the artistic differences really begin to show in the movies. luckily, the last movie was pretty true to the second directors taste, but the second ones, was sooo different from Chris Columbus's taste. Idk, did anybody else realize that?

[Dominique]

wow, imagine if Fawkes really was a horcrux! How would it be destroyed? But how did Voldemort manage to turn him into a horcrux? I didn't hear any theories on that one before!

Maybe after reading HP7, there won't be a need for a sequel or prequel. We'll just have to wait and see!

[rentonsshygirl]

Well, I definitely think itgs possible. When Voldemort went back to ask Dumbledore for a job, and harry saw his hand move towards his wand, well, flick towards it, it could have been a spell or charm, or even a curse (seeing as how they have never been able to keep a DADA teacher since, or, I, like many others, read too far into a simple gesture of barely contained anger. Its a thought.

[Dominique]

That's a really interesting idea! What if it's true? Spells can be preformed w/o speaking too...so I guess that'd work. That DADA job is really cursed! No one we've read of has kept the post for more than a year! I wonder who's the new DADA teacher will be?

[JEM]

I think it will be another Order member who wants to keep a closer look on Harry...if Harry returns.

Who will be the next headmaster?

[Dominique]

That wouldn't be a bad idea--since trouble always seems to find Harry!

Won't Professor McGonagall be headmistress?

[JEM]

They need a better character then Professor McGonagall to be the headmaster/mistress. She is always the same. I want someone with at least a little personality, like Dumbledore to be the new headmaster.

[Dominique]

She's very serious and (sometimes) strict. I think she could manage to keep Hogwarts running. Who could take the job? Must be a lot to live up to, with Dumbledor as the old headmaster.

[Turpentine Kisses]

You know, I do believe that it'd be kinda cool to have Dumbledore's brother as Headmaster. I mean, it would be ironic, and strange, wouldn't it?

[girlonfire]

i think (HOPE) dumbledor and snape planned it, i dont think dd is really dead, i think he's a horcrux o something or is alive sum where else...somehow...i think snape is pretending to be on the bad side...i think he'll have to fool everyone, and is, or else he'll stop volde killing harry, snape isn't evil, his evil was born from jealousy, and a life time of being out shined by potheads. He has no thirst for power, just revenge, but i believe snape is going to b a real hero and hermione and ron better make out coz we're al dying its soooo obvious they despratly like each other, two friggin books and all we get is a jealous ron, and a kiss on the cheek!

[girlonfire]

dd's horcrux is in foawks, not volde, remember fawks flew away when dd died?

[Dominique]

so many ideas! I can't wait to read HP7!

[Turpentine Kisses]

I don't. I hate Ron and Hermione as a SHIP. It would ruin the whole Trio thing. Then it'd be, a couple and Harry. NOT cool.

But, I think that Ron and Luna should get together. I mean, they are both like, mental.

[girlonfire]

but they should at least have a quicky, i mean jk's been teasing us with the idea for so long, but ure right about luna, trouble is i just cant see them, but i cant c ron really liking her in that kinda way, i thought harry and hermione worked better actually, but ure right i don't thing any of them should date, hermione should run off with crum...

[rentonsshygirl]

I doubt that Ron and Luna will get together, but in the epilogue, it might work out that Ron and Hermione get together when they older, and Ron is a bit wiser. lol. I just cannot see them ever breaking up, the trio i mean. So if Harry gets with Ginny afterward, and Ron and Hermione get together. then that will keep them all together. Fawkes is a highly likely suspect for the Horcrux, not Dumbledore. If Dumbledore was a horcrux, then I think that He would definitely know it. I dont see why people think Harry was a horcrux. He was meant to be killed, not marked. Unfortunately, he was marked, but not as a horcrux. Immediately after he tried to kill harry, when the spell turned on him, he was nearly destroyed. When did he have time to impart a chunk of soul into Harry? I hate when people say that harry is a Horcrux, he is susceptable to Death. Why would he do it? Minerva is likely to be headmistress. she was basically second in command.

[Dominique]

I just hope the trio maintain their friendship!

I wonder if the DA will play a role at all in HP7? Maybe just Neville and Luna, since they love the DA so much!

[Mystical Luna]

I agree with Isis, in saying that Snape is on the good side. I mean after all if Dumbledore is such a wise wizard he would have had to have had a lot of trust in Snape, (despite how he may seem on the outside). I don't know but this is just my opinion. I believe that Dumbledore purposely appointed Snape as the D.A.D.A teacher in book 6 because he was planning for his (fake or real) death. The position of the D.A.D.A teacher has always been cursed since Voldemort placed the curse on it. Ever since then no teacher has lasted no more than a year. So why would Dumbledore have appointed Snape to that position without having a good reason to do so? At first I thought Dumbledore still possibly being alive was quite far fetched but I went on this site recently and there was some really interesting theories on Dumbledore's death on it, amongst other things. www.dumbledoreisnotdead.com check it out if you are curious

[whatwillhappen--]

yep. i think its ron, to be honest... and i actually never thought about his grades. just the fact that he was really considering it. so what CAN he be?:wondering

i think that in the 7th book, Harry will realize exactly how much the students of Hogwarts need a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and he'll fill in the spot. After all, in the 5th book he was really good at teaching it.

[Gavin Ramaswami]

Anyone have some interesting predictions on what will happen to Harry in the last book?

I hope that Harry gets to see his parents.

[Harry Potter on Halo]

I don't think Dumbledore died. In the other books when a person got the Avada Kedavra spell, they just crumpled to the ground. Dumbledore was thrown backwards off the battlements. Another thing is Fawkes. Dumbledore said that pheonix's are heavly magical birds, and Fawkes' lament probably healed Dumbledore. Remember that no one saw Dumbledor's body after Harry' did on the ground afterwards. Also remember that pheonix's can carry heavy loads.

[JEM]

I think that is a good point. Dumbledore did fly backwords. However, I think that Dumbledore is dead. In interviews before book 6 was published, JK Rowlings states that someone important will die at the end of the book. Furthermore, Dumbledore death puts Harry at more risk to be killed then he would if Dumbledore was alive. Another reason is that I really don't like Snape and that unbreakable vow that he made really makes me believe that he would want to kill Dumbledore, just to save his own life.

Snape may have cast a spell on Dumbledore by thinking it, like a Stunning spell or something that only made Dumbledore look dead. My sister is in the firm opinion that Rowling will kill off Harry. Gee, I hope not. That will just make a virtual horde of readers very, very, very, very mad. But I think if Dumbledore did not die then it will make a very good ending, like a reunion after the Fight (Voldy vs. Harry). Or Dumbledore could be all through the book, lending advice to Harry, kinda like Obi Wan and Luke Skywalker in Star Wars.

[Harry Potter on Halo]

Where did you find the three page summary?I would like to read it.

[Harry Potter on Halo]

Hey
I LOOOVE harry potter its my all-time obsession... And no way, i donno who wrote that s/he hopes HARRy will DIE - but don't evveerr hope that. i know what is happening in the 7th book anyway, i read a whole 3 page summary by JKROWLING on the Net:
<this wont be 3 pages, im summarizing it into 3 sentences!!!>
- The book will mainly focus on Harry trying to find all Voldemort's horcruxes and get them destroyed, plus, it is not decided yet if he will go to Hogwarts again. If he does, he will be taking his NEWTS and deciding what to be when he is older which is most likely an AUROR. At the end of the book she has written an Epilogue, which is all about what happens to everyone at the end, where they go, who gets married to who, etc. OH YAH - okay one more sentence - ANOTHER DEATH WILL COME IN THE BOOK
stay tuned, cant wait for more!:) :idea: :bigsmile: :smile1:
byyyezzz

Where did you find the summary? I would like to read it!

[Harry Potter on Halo]

Just thought of this. What if Dumbledore created a Horcrux? I know, I know a Horcurx is evil. To make a Horcrux, one must kill another human. Then the soul splits. The Horcrux is the container that the wizard chooses to put his soul into. You're thinking "But Dumbledore is good! He would never kill anyone!" But you forget. In the first book Harry gets his first choclate frog card. It reads, "Albus Dumbledore. Famous for his founding of the 12 uses of dragons blood, defeating the dark wizard Grindlewald in 1945, and his work in alchemy with partner Nicholas Flamel." See, he defeated someone. What if he killed him to extinguish the threat?! Not for evil purposes, of course. But then Dumbledore would be eleigible for a Horcrux. Which he could put into Fawkes, as phoneix's never die, but are reborn form their ashes. But this is based on the assumption that DD killed Grindlewald. But what else could DD do with him? There is no mention of him at Azkaban!

[Oblivion]

ALLLLL Predictions
i dont think dumbledore will come back, i've already said this. If he did then the book would seem like those retarded soap operas. Snape hopefully will redeem himself, Harry will not continue with Hogwarts, McGonagul(not spelt right) will take head mistress and gain more of a role, DADA will be occupied but the teacher will stop after a year, Harry will search for the horcruxes successfully and destroy them.

[JEM]

I want Dumbledore to come back because I like him as a character. However, I don't think he will. I don't think that he would make a horcrux. I think in the last book he said those were for people who were weak and afraid to die. Dumbledore is not that way. Also he is against the dark arts, he teachs people how to fight the dark arts. If someone was against the dark arts would he keep a horcrux? No. Dumbledore would never give into a temptation like that.

If someone was against the dark arts would he keep a horcrux? No. Dumbledore would never give into a temptation like that.

In the first book, McGonagal said Dumbledore knew all the dark arts, but chose not to use them. He might have been afraid to die becaues he got his hand fried by something, and he said himself that his reactions wern't what they used to be. Deuling is all about spell knowledge and split-second timing. So he might have created a Horcrux as a back up.

[JEM]

Dumbledore could beat Voldemort when he was healthy. So he could easily beat someone like Snape, even if he was dying. Maybe he had some sort of spell on him that caused him to give up. That is the only way I can think of that he could lose.

[Harry Potter on Halo]

Maybe, because Dumbledore drank that Dark potion protecting the faux Horcrux, DD was already weakened. So when Snape cast the spell on him, it caused DD to go into a coma-like state. Then Fawkes carried him off to a safehouse to be revived at the right time.

[Harry Potter on Halo]

Another thing is Dumbledores wand. He's wand was not broken, like the tradition states that wizards must do. Remember in Slughorn's song when he was drunk? "...and they buried him, with his hat turned out, and his wand broken, which was very sad." So I firmly do not think DD is dead.

[~*Lil_Bookworm*~]

Does anyone think they know who R.A.B. is???? I REALLY want to know who it was who took the real horcrux and put the fake locket there. Whoever it was obviously had something againced voldemort and they had to know alot of voldemorts childhood to know that it was hid in a cave. He chose to hide it there because thats where something strange when he was a child occured.

[Dominique]

I really want to know too! Book 7 will be really exciting, no doubt!

[Dominique]

Dumbledor is human, despite his awesome skills, but I was somewhat surprised that Snape was able to finish him off like that. I wonder what was in that potion?

[JEM]

Dumbledor is human, despite his awesome skills, but I was somewhat surprised that Snape was able to finish him off like that. I wonder what was in that potion?

I was surprised too. I don't like Snape, but I don't think that he would have done that if it wasn't for the unbreakable vow.

[HPfan13]

i think that Snape is good...like, when Dumbledore is saying "please severus" when snape killed him he was saying like, "please kill me" because he knew that snape made that unbreakable vow thing...so if snape didn't kill dumbledore, he would have died and dumbledore wanted snape to live...and i think it wuold be cool if dumbledore had a horcrux too because like, you have to kill someone to get one so it would be like...woah there. and for the R.A.B. i think it's regulus black or however you spell it because...that's the only person i can think of with those initials

[dixie_diva_81]

okay so the scenario would be this. Draco was told to kill Dumbledore but as he proceeded he had could not kill him and then Snape appears and kills off Dumbledore instead. So we all know Snape is a double agent but can he be a triple agent. Lets just assume he is a double agent here for a minute, so we know Dumbledore probably new Voldemort was going to send someone so he had a hunch that it was Draco so he proceeds to kill Dumbledore but lets say Snape interfered with Draco killing him cause Dumbledore knew he was going to die so he staged it to look as if Snape killed him so Voldemort would take him back. And in return Snape would leak info back to the good guys. So really when u think about it, Dumbledore really saves Draco from a fatal mistake and later maybe Draco will realize this and turn to the good side.

if that's what happened, Dumbledore is one hell of an actor. but hey, after Snape kills him, Harry gets all noble and "rawr, he killed my idol, charge!". i think Dumbledore probably would have seen that coming, and at least given Harry enough information to know that something like his fake death was about to occur. besides, as much as i love Dumbledore, i think this is finally the point of the story where Harry learns to fly solo.

What about the portrait in DD's office (well i guess it's now McGonnagall's office). In the wizarding world portraits can move and talk. Why dosn't somebody ask his portrait. And just because he has a portrait dosn't mean he's dead. He could have prearranged it, so that when he left the school and someone else was brought in he would get a knew portrait.

I agree, I think Harry Potter will become an Auror, and he'll still encounter much trouble as Ron and Hermione help him find those last few objects they are searching for. I feel that there may be some terrible accident, and maybe one of them is killed!

This doesn't sound good.

NOO!! she can't do this to me, harry can't die!! :cry:

[Ren]

Does anyone remember that DD told Harry that Voldy had his snake kill some old man?:confused: I'm not the only one that remembers that am I????:huh:

[sumbluskies]

I believe I faintly remember reading that part, yes, it's true.

[Ren]

Do you think that old man may have been RAB??? I mean I like to belive its Sirius's bro to but I also like to keep an open mind about things like this. DD said voldy only made his soulsplitting holders after important deaths (or something like that). Maybe that old guy was RAB and the snake killed him..

[sumbluskies]

That would be quite a twist, wouldn't it? Hey, at this point, I wouldn't rule out anything. It is a possibility, and it does sound pretty evident.

[Ren]

Does anyone think they know who R.A.B. is???? I REALLY want to know who it was who took the real horcrux and put the fake locket there. Whoever it was obviously had something againced voldemort and they had to know alot of voldemorts childhood to know that it was hid in a cave. He chose to hide it there because thats where something strange when he was a child occured.

What if RAB was one of those muggle kids Voldy tortured when he was a kid?? The kid could have a squib at the time so...I dunno...

R.A.B is deff. Regulus Black, he WAS a death eater, but then he was burned out of the family tree tapestry, because he was a betrayer, so he must have betrayed vold. and besides, in the letter that is in the locket, it says, ill probly be dead by the time this reaches you or whatever, cause i think voldemort knew regulus was going to betray him, and he was killed by someone after he drank the water and was weakened, i dont know that it my opinion and it seems to fit pretty well.

that suck if JK killed off Ron and Hermione. But then it might not be them. It could be a weasly and Tonks! Or Fred and George! She said that two characters were going to die. And she hinted that Harry might not survive!

[HPfan13]

But what's the point if she kills Harry? it would just be like...okay...

And I think that for the whole 'DD would have given Harry a warning about him dieing' thing...it's like...in, like, every book Harry has something with Snape and brings it up with DD...but DD always says to trust Snape and he says it over and over and over...so if Snape really is good and stuff, then I think that in the 7th book Harry will have to learn to trust him and whatnot [[if he is a good guy]] and it'll be all omg remember dumbledore

it would suck even worse if she killed of Harry's and Ron's owls :sad2: I mean come on, they were the 2 best characters in the books :)

I hope that Harry gets to see his parents.
I hope Harry gets to see his parents too =]

but wow, a lot of predictions. But I don't think we can be sure who is going to die. I mean come on it could be anyone. Ron and Hermione, Harry and Voldemort. Or characters such as Hagrid or Draco or Snape.
Because I wouldn't be surprised if JK killed the characters the public was least expecting.
And I think Harry will not want to return to Hogwarts, but I think he'll eventually miss it and want to return. Or needs to be able to get back into the school to be able to find more information out.
Theres also the possibility of Harry dying and Voldemort returning because Harry didn't destroy all the horcruxes.
But then there's the opposite happening, Harry destorying all the horcruxes and Voldemort dying.
So you never know. I guess we'll just have to wait and seeee.
Eh, one more year as of tommorrow. it seems so far away.

[mollyolliepants]

about harry dying, i don't think he will. i mean come on, how stupid would it be for JKROWLING to write these 6 amazing books if only to kill off this totally loved character at the end? it would have been pointless! the only reason i can think of that she would is that she didn't want it to be too predictable like oh at the end obviously harry will win b/c he's the good guy or wtvr. but i don't think it's too predictable! if she does kill him there will be millions of people all over the world that are seriosuly gonna hate her.
++ if she kills harry, who will marry ginny? :love:

[JEM]

JK Rowlings has been telling the press that she might want to kill Harry, so no other author can make money off her creation. Once Harry is dead, an author can't write a sequel.

I don't think anyone is going to get married. JK Rowlings books have all been getting darker. It would be to happy for something in her "darkest book".

[malena]

I think that the R.A.B is most deff Regulus Black, think about it, it must be a character that had been mentioned at least once in any of the books, the books wouldn't have been so great if things wouldn't have been connected like in any good suspense. And syrius did say to Harry that Regulus understood what he was involved in at some point,and wanted to get out but it was too late.
Also, to some mates here that dont remember accurately, it was Syrius that was burned down from the family tree not Regulus. And the old man Nagini killed was the muggle in the Riddles' house, that gardener Frank something.
I sort of like the idea that Fawkes is a horcrux, but not Voldy's, it's Dumbledore's.Yes splitting your soul is evil, but wha if DD was afraid that there would be no one to protect Harry when he's gone? And he knew that sooner or later he would die, and he knew it might happen before Voldy's defeat.It's clear that Fawkes is a lot more than just a bird, remember what DD sais to Malfoy: I will never leave this school as long as there's someone loyal to me here, he left but said he didn't REALLY leave, and then the book ends with Fawkes saving Harry.I really think that Rowling stated everything in the 6th book to make sure we all understand that DD died, the fact that the spell that he put on Harry broke off, the portrait, and Hagrid carrying his body.Let's face it DD died :( I didn't like that at all, he was the funniest character except the Weasley twins, but DD is dead. Anyway, that's what I think :)
