Book Seven: Who Will Live and Who Will Die?

not to sound like a pesimist but im gonna have to say that almost everyone will die... slowly but surely a death will occur assumin that DD is dead harry will be emotionally crippled first siri and now DD voldemort will then slowly pick off everyone close to him and then finally go after harry

After HBP and the depressive mood it's written in I think Harry will die :(

Almost everyone will die? That's pretty dark. What are we reading then, "Nightmare on Elm Street, Part 10?"

What about Hogwarts? Will it live or die? I believe it will survive, but the division into houses will be no more, as foreshadowed by the sorting hat's new song.
I think so as well, it would be really sad if Hogwarts died...

Others I think will live:
Ron, Hermione, Bill, Fleur, Ginny, Lupin, Draco

And a few I think is destined die:
Voldemort, Bellatrix, Greyback, Snape (please let me be wrong :upset: ) and a Weasley twin.

edit: ooops, I've forgot about Pettigrew - he will also get the axe:agree:

Charlie Weasly might die, because out of all the Weasly's in the order he hasn't really been important so JK might pick him off.

I think Snape and Draco will die. Draco never did his job right??? Maybe Bill will die of his bites maybe.

hmmm, interesting...

I've got three lists...

Who will die
Voldemort (well, duh)
Fenrir Greyback--He is just way too creepy and scary to keep around. My bet is that Lupin or Bill (or a team of both) kill him.
Bellatrix--Again, to nutters to live. She's also done too much damage to live. I'd like to see Neville finish her off, after what she did to his parents.
A Weasley. My money is on Arthur.--I think that the Weasley family has had several close calls, and they won't all be coming out of the war alive. I picked Arthur to die because he seems like a little more of a dead-end than the rest of the Weasleys, like there's less to his character than pretty much everyone else.
Peter Pettigrew--He's bound to Harry. Perhaps he will sacrifice (there's that word again) himself in a way that causes Harry to be able to defeat Voldemort. If that doesn't happen, the Ministry, Lupin, or Harry may catch up with him: there's a lot of unresolved issues there.

Who *may* die
Harry.--Perhaps he will die in the act of killing Voldemort. It won't be an easy task, and I think that perhaps he'll sacrifice himself for the world, a parallel to Lily sacrificing herself for him.
Remus Lupin--One of my favorite characters of ever. He's a very tragic character:werewolf, friends all dead, etc. Perhaps the thread of tragedy will continue. But now that he and Tonks are together, he's found some happiness at last, and he'll be able to pull himself above all the tragedy he has experienced over the course of his life.
Percy--Perhaps he'll die a heroic death, redeeming himself for his family. Perhaps not.
Lucius Malfoy--Voldemort isn't very happy with him, and now that Draco has, perhaps, escaped...

Who is safe
Ron and Hermione--It would be too cliche to kill the sidekick. It happens too many times in literature...and I think that JKR is smart enough to rise above that.
Snape--I think that JKR makes evil realistic. And sometimes the truth is that bad people get away. He's smart enough to avoid capture/death. And ambiguous enough to not be so positively evil as to make death inevitable (an example of a character whose death is inevitable is Greyback). I'm not arguing if he's good or evil. Regardless, I think he will go free.
Fred and George--Unstoppable. Too funny. You can't kill just one, or all comic relief is instantly gone. It's too pessimistic a move to split them up. It's like saying that this world is a dark and joyless place. That's not a theme here. JKR endeavors to show people that even in the darkening times, people need things to laugh about even more; people will always find things to laugh about. Case in point: The 6th book, darkest of the series so far, is also the funniest yet. No killing Fred and George, hahaha. Bottom line: I happen to like their humor so much that I refuse to think that either one of them will ever die.

Here is my list who i think might die:

One of the Weasleys: I don't know why, but i have the strongest feeling ever!
Rubeus Hagrid: He does too many dangerous things, one of them is going to kill him
Lucius Malfoy: He just has to! He is too evil to live
Lupin: All the marauders have to die

Live:
Harry: Come on can you kill Harry?
Ron: Just can't see him dying.
Ginny: Can't kill the love interest after everything Harry's loved has already died.
Fred & George: Don't seem the type to get entrenched in battle enough to die.
Neville: Steps up as a wizard.
Luna: Same as Fred & George.
Tonks: Just seems it to me.
Malfoy: He'll make the right choice.
Rest of Weasley's not listed below.

Die:
Voldemort: If he didn't there'd have to be a Harry Potter 8...
Lupin: All the Mauraders together again.
Pettigrew: Life debt to Harry.
Snape: Wanted dead whichever side he ends up taking.
Malfoys Parents: His dead screwed up and his mom doesn't seem too strong to me.
Greyback: Just creepy.
Hagrid: Thinks too much with his emotions, respectable although very unwise.
Hermione: Not very aware of her surroundings much, I think she'll be caught off guard, plus you can't teach a duel in a book.
Mr. Weasley: Father figure.
Percy: Disposable

maybe a youger person to make it more hard hitting. most probably ginny - sum1 whose very close to harry, also maybe one of the weasly parents. something that would be quite hard hitting would be if an authority figure lin the order died-which most probably will happen, but im not sure who exactly the head of the order will be.

After HBP and the depressive mood it's written in I think Harry will die :(

NO NO NO ... he can't die ... must ... LIVE .... HAPPILY ... EVER ... AFTER!!!!

i think Voldy, Lucious and wormtail will die. Voldy is just not happy with L. and wormtail has the life debt and of course Harry must kill LV. I think that a weasley will die, maybe charlie...but for molly's sake i hope not. I dont think the trio will die bc i wouldn't be able to handel it! :sad:

i think Voldy, Lucious and wormtail will die. Voldy is just not happy with L. and wormtail has the life debt and of course Harry must kill LV. I think that a weasley will die, maybe charlie...but for molly's sake i hope not. I dont think the trio will die bc i wouldn't be able to handel it! :sad:

I really don't think the trio will be offed, I think LV for sure will end up dead dead and very dead, I think that perhaps we'll see the loss of a Weasly ... but i'm not wholeheartedly sure about that. I know we'll see the deaths of a few more of the OOTP, and i'd like to see the DA take a more active role ... as far as searching and destroying, Neville I could see dying but not before he offs Bella.

Snape is going to die while attempting to save Harry.

My reasoning is this(apart from the whole good-and-evil discussion).

He doesn't have much going for him. He has a job teaching something he loves but no one will ever learn to appreciate. He doesn't have a wife or children. All the people he's ever loved are dead(his mother, Dumbledore, Lily). He betrayed the Potters and killed Dumbledore - and still suffers from the guilt. So he will be the main person to go.(Besides Voldemort).

To die:

Harry,(maybe not but I'm preparing myself for the worst)
Ron
Ernie Macmillian
Snape (haha I didn't say 'Professor')
Voldemort
Dolohov
Alecto
Greyback
Another Weasley, hopefully Percy
Madam Pomfrey
Wormtail will die repaying his life debt to Harry, but it won't work.

Maybe die
Professor McGonagall
Professor Sinistra
Hagrid
Cho Chang (although I think she served her purpose in book 5)
Draco Malfoy

To Live
Hermione
Ginny
Luna (wishful thinking)
Rosmerta
Moody

ahh nobody died in ron´s family..i´m afraid one of them will and i hope it´s percy.. but i believe that it will be one of the twins if not both. i believe that PPetigrew will die( and i hope painfully), and Bellatrix(i hope Neville get her), and Draco(because he is a coward), and Snape(trying to protect harry), and Lupin(i´m soooo sorry),and Tonks and Narcissa and LV, for sure!.

Let's see...
-Snape'll die protecting Harry
-I want Lupin to live,
-The trio hopefully will survive...
-I think Percy might die protecting Mrs. Weasley.
-if say Fred died and George didn't, imagine how depressing life would be.
-Ginny will not die.

I agree with most of this. Percy will die a hero - he was a griffindor not a slyterin.

I DO see the twins fighting on the side of good not evil, like RAF fighter pilots, merry to the end (one assumes).

If one died it WOULD be incredibly sad...the point of death...and learning to live again afterward...

There are so many Weasley's one must die.

My theory is that anyone seriously injured to date will not die ie Ron, Hermione, Mr. Weasley, Tonks, Prof. McGonnagall.

I think the whole break up thing with GINNY to keep her safe was pointless. They were an item for the whole year at school - the DL kidnapped Ginny in Book 2 for goodness sake !!!! Ginny is still a big target.

I read that Hagrid might die - and that does WORRY me... He has seemed so strong and kind... more even than remote and mysterious Dumbledore, and he feels the pain of the creatures around him. His death could be brave, slow and terrible in it's majesty. I really hope it doesn't happen.

I agree with most of this. Percy will die a hero - he was a griffindor not a slyterin.

Just wanted to point out so was peter p. and look what he did. Plus JKR said there are de in other houses or that came from other houses.

I really don't think the trio will be offed, I think LV for sure will end up dead dead and very dead, I think that perhaps we'll see the loss of a Weasly ... but i'm not wholeheartedly sure about that. I know we'll see the deaths of a few more of the OOTP, and i'd like to see the DA take a more active role ... as far as searching and destroying, Neville I could see dying but not before he offs Bella.

I agree with you i do not see the trio being offed either. JKR said they were strongest when together and why break that up. Plus fromt he jokes she has made about people thinking she owuld off ron i think he is safe. Though i will be suprised if at least one weasly does nto die in the process. I do not see neiville dying though, JK said one would be a professor one day and i think neville will be that one.

not to sound like a pesimist but im gonna have to say that almost everyone will die... slowly but surely a death will occur assumin that DD is dead harry will be emotionally crippled first siri and now DD voldemort will then slowly pick off everyone close to him and then finally go after harry

I do not think all of them will die. In any war there are always survivors. There will be in this one to, though we will loose some more people.



My list of who will die is snape, peter, vold., bella, maybe mad eye and a weasly though that would suck.

I think the trio, ginny and lupin will live. Other than that i amm not sure who else will live or die.

At this point, I think that the death of my beloved Sevvie is inevitable - but I think that he will die a hero's death on the Order's side. I have tons of other reasoning behind this, but I'm it's all already been mentioned earlier in this thread.

Harry will live. JKR's thrown us some nasty turns throughout the series, but I cannot for the life of me see her offing the Boy Who Lived. I just don't see it happening. Likewise with Ron and Hermione...there's a possibility, but I highly doubt it.

Lupin, most likely, will die...he's such a noble heroic-death type, unfortunately. I could see Neville dying, as well as maybe McGonagall and a Weasley or two.

My mind says Harry will die because I think he will sacrifice himself for the wizarding world to live.

LV has to die or the series would not have been worth it.

One of the Weasleys will probably die.

Lupin because I think ,like someone previously posted, all the Mauradeurs (sorry about the spelling) will die.

Peter Pettigrew because of the life debt.

Severus Snape just because!

My heart hopes beyond hope that Harry lives and he has red, untidy haired children with Ginny who are raised along side cousins of Ron and Hermoine's!!

If,however, Harry does die I hope he is reunited with all the people he has lost!

My mind says Harry will die because I think he will sacrifice himself for the wizarding world to live.

LV has to die or the series would not have been worth it.


Definitely LV must die.

I think Harry will be prepared to die - but then won't - like he was when the DL possessed him at the end of OOP.

Harry:will Live but if he dies im expecting it (but killing the hero how cliche is that?)

Hermione: will live but will suffer a serious injury.

Ron: 55%-live 45%-Die Ron is the person who harry might AK Voldermort with the anger of ron dying.

Mrs Figg-Die

I agree, it's time for the Order to have a good fight ... LIVE and get those Death Eaters!!!!!

Yeah, thank you, I am sorry, but I disagree with the many many people who have been promoting the death of harry. Come on, he is the boy who lived, not the boy who dies. Yes, it would have a dramatic element, but I do not want to have a dramatic element, if I want drama I will sit down with a Steinbeck novel. I want a good story, and let me tell you, J.K. Rowling has done that so far. A++

I believe harry will make it through this. The stories show how love is the greatest power of all, and if love cannot save the hereo at the end then what can. If harry dies it is not showing how powerful love truely is.

:tu: I couldn't agree more! There is no way that JKR will kill off Harry. Wouldn't that contradict her "Good VS Evil " theme? I don't believe that Harry is a Horcrux either. It would seem like Voldemort won even if Harry sacrificed himself to save the others. I think the trio will live and Harry will end up with Ginny. Wishful thinking? Maybe. I agree with all your other predictions except Mrs. Weasley.

I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but I believe that the first death(s) of someone significant will be at Bill and Fleur's wedding, most likely being Fleur. This will allow Bill to team up with Harry to find the remaining Horcruces. And yes, Ron seems the most likely to die. But, maybe Rowling will surprise us after reading how everyone on Earth assumes he's gonna die. I do assume that Harry will die, much like Frodo in LotR. Frodo never feels the same after destroying the ring because he destroyed a part of himself with it. The same will happen once Harry destroys Voldemort because they are both connected.

It seems like it would be really sad for Harry to die at the end. I mean, I get what you are saying about the whole Frodo thing, but he didn't actually die, he went to the undying lands, and so far there is no such place in JKR's world. I mean, yes, death is "the next great adventure" but still, Harry is young and has a lot of opportunities for adventures in this life--having a family, maybe. Though his ambition to become an auror is kind of moot if there is no Dark Lord to defeat...i don't know. I debate this point with myself, but it just seems like Harry won't die. And I also wonder if she will kill Hermione instead of Ron, because as you said, everyone thinks he will die. But he also makes more sense than Hermione because he seems like a self-sacrificing kind of person (e.g. the chess game in SS)

I definately agree with both of you. It would seem terrible if the boy who lived, as you say died in the end! And Harry as the Horcrux would be extrememly unsettling because the prophesy basically says one lives, one dies, not no one lives. It is after all, the triumph of good over evil! If good dies too...

I really don't fancy Percy's chances of survival. He is getting more and more disposable within the storyline of each book.

Yeah, if one of them has to go...that sounds so mean, but I don't want it to be Ginny, the twins, or Won-Won :upset: :p

:tu: I couldn't agree more! There is no way that JKR will kill off Harry. Wouldn't that contradict her "Good VS Evil " theme?

Not necessarily. There have many accounts in fiction/mythology where the hero has ended up dying, his death viewed as a sort of sacrifice for the "greater good". The Good still prevailed in those stories, even if the hero did die; sort of a bittersweet, sad but uplifting ending, you might say.

That said, I don't think Harry is going to die either. I don't see any of the trio dying for that matter.

I don't think anyone major will die. Think about it, Dumbledore was more or less the biggest death you can have. No one's death, save Harry's will have as big of an effect. JKR is a smart enough writer to know this. Killing off more major characters would simply be a cheap tactic used for shock value and more or less killing for the sake of killing. JKR knows that. I don't predict any major deathes...unless of course Harry dies, which fingers crossed, won't happen.

I don't really know about Harry living after the seventh book. It kind of seems like his role in life was to kill off Voldy, so what would his purpose in life be afterwards?

I'm kind of sad about it, but I think Harry will die after he defeats Voldy. It only makes sense, looking back at British Lit, where JKR gets a lot of her storyline. I think Harry will die, and all who are still alive will grieve him.

In Beowulf, when Beowulf dies, they set him on a boat and let him go onto the sea, like a king. I think they will do the same to Harry.

I think if Harry died it would make for a more powerful finale, but I don't think he will. Too much mention of how he has powers the Dark Lord does not just to have him go down with Voldemort.

Harry: live
Voldemort: Die obviously
Snape: Die saving Harry, redeeming himself. *trusts Snape* Sad as it is I can't see his character survivng no matter what side he's on. I'm so sure he'll die

Hermione: Live
Ron: Live
Wormtail: Die paying back a debt to Harry too? Otherwise too foul to live
Draco: 75% live, will have redeemed himself in some way...predicting death of Lucius (90%) and maybe Narcissa so that he'll turn away from the dark side...if he doesn't get killed by Voldemort for failing

Moody: Die, some good guys have to go, and he's getting old
Neville: Live
Lupin: Live
Lestrange: Die, too evil
Lucius: Die
Narcissa: Live hopefully along with Draco turning away from the dark side
Tonks: Live
Weasleys: Live-I don't think any of them have to die

I think the people who have already been in mortal danger will survive. For example, Ginny was near death. She'll live. Hermione was petrified (not necessarily mortal danger, but she COULD have died). She'll live. Arthur Weasley wil live.

That said, I think the people who are in danger of dying could include Charlie, Luna, possibly Fred and George, even Molly. It would be a shame if McGonagall died, but I'm sure at least one other teacher will perish.

Snape has to die. I'm on the Snape is good side, but I think he will die in the final battle for the good side.

Snape has to die. I'm on the Snape is good side, but I think he will die in the final battle for the good side.

There's also the possibility that Harry will kill Snape as revenge for Dumbledore, regardless of which side Snape is on, long before the "final battle". If Harry were to run into Snape, I don't think he'd hesitate one bit to do something very bad to him. Harry never trusted Snape for the first six years even though Dumbledore consistently tried to get him to do so, and he has absolutely no reason to start trusting him now!

The books are so much more interesting with Snape, it would be a shame if he died early on...

LV dies, but there's still the lingering question of "did he *really* die?".

... *offtopic* LV. that's so weird. i've always thought of LV as Louis Vuitton before Harry Potter. :P

Tom Riddle will receive a definite taste of death.

Snape, Draco, and one of the Weasley's will die IMO also.

I personally think that there will be more death than in the first six books combined. I believe, however, that the trio will live as well as Snape. I think that Lupin will die to save either Harry or Tonks. I think that at least one Weasley child will die if not two and one of those will be Percy. I think maybe Molly may die trying to save Percy. I agree that at least one teacher will die and that likely will be McGonagall. Of course, He Who Must Not Be Named will die (completely) as will Lucius Malfoy. I cannot decide on Draco as of yet but I expect Neville to fight valiantly and die. Wormtail will certainly die and likely at the hands of the last remaining of the Marauders. Still not sure on Hagrid either but his death would completely destroy Harry. Well that's what I think for now so we shall see.

Harry - Live, but nearly die (keeping my fingers crossed that Harry pulls through, but Dumbledore has done such a good job of preparing Harry for death...and Harry has said it would be better to die a few times...:()
Hermione - Live
Ron - Most likely to die out of the trio, I think. He might sacrifice himself as he did in SS/PS
Ginny - Live
Voldemort - Die, die, die!
Hagrid - die
McGonagall - Live
Flitwick - Live
Snape - Die (I think he's good, but either way, good or bad, he's going to die)
Lupin - can't decide. Half of me thinks all the Marauders will be dead at the end of the series, but I really want to see him survive and lead a happy life
Pettigrew - Die (maybe repaying his life debt to Harry)
Neville - Die, I'm afraid...
Luna - Live (after all, why bother killing her off?)
Tonks - Die, I hope.
Mad-Eye Moody - Live, but be even more paranoid than before
Draco Malfoy - Die, but for the Good Side

Oh, there is going to be a lot.

For Deaths, I have a feeling some of the Order will be taken out, NOT Moody, Tonks, Lupin or Kingsley for sure. Though one of them could very well die. I have a feeling Voldemort AND Wormtail will be dead by the end. I dont know about Snape. Harry I think will live. Though he could die, who knows.

I have the vague suspicion that for every horcrux (left) somebody will have to die. And since Trelawney's prediction at the christmas diner table (book 3? book 4?), I am convinced that Ron will die before Harry does.

I'm pretty sure Harry will die;
and Voldemort, of course...!
I think Ron and Hermione will live (and get married ;) ;
I think Wormtail might die fulfilling the life-debt;
Snape - will live, I think (he's just not the kind of guy to die... :p )
Lupin and Tonks will - live (don't think JKR has heart to break them up now that they're finally together :p )
Weasleys - will live
Hagrid will live
Neville or his grandmother might die

Bad guys-

Die-

-Voldemort
-Wormtail (probably helping harry)
-Snape (regardless of weather he is good or evil, he probably won't make it.)
-Bellatrix (hopefully by Neville, or maybe Harry)
-Maybe Draco (But I think he will at least somewhat turn a little good by the end)
-Most of the other minor death eaters

Good guys-

Die-

-Ron (sorry, but I think if any of the trio was to die it would be him, theres a lot of stuff pointing to it, check out the editorials, and wasn't there a rumor that JKR had once planned on killing him off in GoF)
-Maybe either Lupin or McGonagal, or Mrs. Weasly (they would be the closet adult characters to Harry now that Dumbledore is gone)
-probably some minor order members (kingsly, moody, diggle, etc)

live-

-Harry
-Hermione
-Ginny?
-Neville?
-Luna
-Rest of the weaslys (if any are to die it will probably be either Ron or Mrs. Weasly, or both)
-Hagrid (if he was gonna die, it would have been in book 5 or maybe 6, he's shown he can make it through the whole thing)

Deaths:

Lord Voldemort - Naturally. He'll have to be destroyed in some way or another for the books to really end.

Bellatrix Lestrange - She is extremely loyal to Voldemort, and this could lead to a number of possibilities as to how she would die. She could die fighting for her Master - likely, since we know she'll brave extremes for the Dark Lord (However, the years in Azkaban may have unhinged her further than we think, and she might rebel against him due to a feeling of unappreciation. I doubt he'd hesitate much in eliminating her if he couldn't force her co-operation.).

Mad-Eye Moody - As stated before, he's aging and could be hampered by the wooden leg. His death wouldn't really have tremendous shock value, I think, but I could see him as a logical Order casualty. He IS a great Auror, and the fact that he's actively working against Death Eaters makes him a target.

Draco Malfoy - I could see him fleeing from Voldemort early on, possibly with Snape in tow. He'd probably end up aiding Harry - not out of good will, but to remove the threat of the Dark Lord's wrath and to gain some extra protection for himself by travelling with others. It wouldn't be an easy alliance, anyway, especially if Snape were there. I could see him getting killed by Voldemort or a Death Eater near the end.

Severus Snape - There's a variety of ways this guy could go down. If we were to go with the Malfoy story I suggested above, I could see him actually betraying Harry, Ron, and Hermione at some point by keeping Voldemort informed of what they're doing - having maintained the pretense that he was concerned about Malfoy (If the Vow's still in effect, it'd probably be his own life he was worried about.) and was protecting him. If this were the case, his treachery would most likely backfire and he'd end up dead.

My suggestions on Malfoy and Snape are probably very unlikely, but it'd be entertaining.

Lord Voldemort, of course.

I hope Bellatrix gets it, and Neville is the one to do the job.

I have a suspicion that Ron may die, just because of the whole mirroring theory, he had such a near miss in the first book, so I think him sacrificing himself is a likelihood.

As many of you, I think that there will be multiple deaths in book7.

I really don't want Harry to die, but unfortunately I think he will.

I also think that at least one of the Weasleys will die, they are all in mortal peril, and it would be a miracle if they all survived.

Voldemort I just assume will die, otherwise the story will have to continue, and I think JKR has said something like "no way", right?:)

Wormtail might also cop it, he still owes Harry.

As for other deaths I don't really want to speculate, I find it a bit unnerving.

No way the Weasley family will all come through alive, I think

It would be so sad if Voldy stormed the wedding and killed Bill...right after he and Fleur are declared husband and wife

Harry must die.

At the point where Harry defeats Tom, and we know that he will be victorious, he will no longer be a boy. He will be seventeen and "of age" in the wizarding world. He will be forced to leave behind all the childish things of his past and will have to face the world alone...strong and confident in his abilities.

The first chapter of this entire saga is "The Boy Who Lived!" Why did Harry live? Because he became the focal point of love. Through his mother, in someway entirely incomprehensible, Harry became the antithesis to what Tom stands for. Tom stands for darkness; Harry stands for light. Tom stands for hatred; Harry stands for love. They're symbolic for diametrically opposed ideals.

Significant among this symbolism is that whilst Tom roamed the wizarding world before Harry's amazing feat of survival the wizarding world lived in fear and doubt. Their world wasn't really "alive" at all. There was little joy because Tom sucked it out of them because of his prevalent darkness.

When Harry came along, and Tom chose to ignite the "prophecy", the winds of change started to blow. Tom disappeared and the wizarding world came out of its deep frost. Remember Fudge in the first books cheerily going along greeting Muggles and all. Harry became the flash-point. In a very real sense, Harry was the reason the wizarding world came alive again. How did he do this? Because he was the boy who lived.

Now, seventeen years later we come to dark times once more. Because of Tom's choice, Harry remains the embodiment of hope, love, and joy for the entire wizarding world. He is their essence, their life. If Harry fails, then Tom's darkness spreads unchallenged throughout the wizarding world...and possibly beyond. Harry is the key.

It is in this sense that we can realize that as long as Tom lives, people will die, suffer, and fade. Therefore, he must be stopped at all costs and only Harry has the power to do it. Since Harry has always been the inverse of Tom he now will have to make a choice. How far will he go? How much will he sacrifice to literally "save the wizarding world from certain death?" What will he give to ensure that his friends and loved ones will live? His mother chose to sacrifice her life so Harry might live. Will Harry do the same so that others might live? Tom's defeat came because of his mother's choice. Will it come again because of Harry's?

I think the answer is clear: Harry, whose eyes are truly a window to his soul (and his eyes are those of his mother's...who sacrificed herself), will make the same brave choice as his mother. He will see that the only way to defeat Tom is through love. He will see that love is the true answer to darkness, just as his mother so aptly perceived those long years ago. His insight will lead him to make the same choice Lily did and sacrifice himself for those he loves and for the greater good. As a result he will die for the salvation of the wizarding world. I am not thinking in a Christlike sense, but I think he will die and from his death Tom's darkness and evil will be utterly torn down and defeated. Hope will return to the wizarding world because Harry is the focal point of the kind of love that can defeat the selfish wickedness Tom so embodies. Harry's death will save all wizard-kind and spread love, hope, and peace for a time.

Thus the saga will be bookended by two chapters. The first is the wonderfully hopeful "The Boy Who Lived!" and the last will be entitled, appropriately so, "The Man Who Died!" The intricate path and lovely story which JKR has woven for the world will then be complete and it will proudly proclaim: Love is the answer to darkness!

Just my thoughts.

:slyth:

I think Neville's gonna die. He's gonna do something really heroic, like saving Harry's life (he is a gryfindor), but then he's gonna die. I hope he kills Bellatrix first.

Harry must die.

...

Harry, whose eyes are truly a window to his soul (and his eyes are those of his mother's...who sacrificed herself), will make the same brave choice as his mother.

...

Thus the saga will be bookended by two chapters. The first is the wonderfully hopeful "The Boy Who Lived!" and the last will be entitled, appropriately so, "The Man Who Died!"

Basically, you think Harry will die because:
(i) You like the symmetry of Harry living at the beginning and dying at the end; and
(ii) Harry has his mother's eyes.

I can't argue with (i) since it's your own personal preference/opinion.

As for (ii), it's been said time and again here that we haven't learned why Harry having his mother's eyes was important. But in HBP, it was what led Harry to finally get Slughorn's memory. That one single memory showed that LV wanted to make six Horcruxes, not just one. That one single memory basically showed Harry and DD what they needed to do to finally defeat LV. I'd call that a pretty big turning point.

To be honest (my own personal opinion), I think we've seen the significance of Harry having Lily's eyes played out.

Also, I think Harry will be willing to die in book 7 but that it won't come to that. I have a hard time seeing JKR writing the epilogue 15 or 20 years ago (or however long ago it was) as "motivation" to complete the series if the epilogue had Harry (the main character for 15 or 20 years) dead.

(ii) is not entirely about Harry having his mother's eyes though. They function as a window into who Harry is as a person. The fact that he has his mother's eyes is a significant reflection of his character and his moral constitution. In fact, I think they serve as a visual link between his mother and Harry. They both share the trait of self-sacrifice and love. Their having similar eyes give us this indication. As a result, when push comes to shove, Harry will be willing to sacrifice himself for those he loves and for the salvation of the wizarding world. It's the same sacrifice his mother made at Godric's Hollow all of those years ago.

I do especially like the symmetry of Harry's life and death bookending the saga. I feel that it's entirely appropriate and accurate to the type of story that JKR is trying to tell.

Acturus
:rave:

I agree, as well. I believe Harry dying would fit into the books genre. It would suit her style of writing. But then again, I don't know if I would like that ending. Maybe instead of Harry dying his scar will die.

I believe that Snape will live, Wormtail will die, Voldemort will die (of course), Ron and Hermione will live and Neville will die. But, of course, they are my predictions and most likely will be the exact opposite in the last book.
I however do think that there will be a lot of deaths in the final battles.

I think a lot more people are going to die in the last book.

Die:

Voldemort
Ron
Snape
Wormtail
Malfoy
a bunch of death eaters
Hagrid
Neville
and Harry

This isn't Hamlet, where nearly everybody dies at the end and the only people standing are those on the periphery or newcomers to the scene like Fortinbras. In my opinion, of course. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is the penultimate book of the series, and I believe that Dumbledore's death is likewise the penultimate death. The only two other deaths that would be more climactic (story-wise, at any rate, not necessarily emotionally) would be Harry Potter and Voldemort.
What's the worst thing that could happen to Voldemort? Death. Pure and utter non-existance. He's done everything he possibly can to avoid it, and in his mind, there is nothing worse than death - even having a fractured and missing soul.
Harry on the other hand, seems to know and accept the fact that death is a part of life, and to quote a phrase, "a necessary end and will come when it will come". So what's the worst thing that could happen to him? I don't really know the answer, but I think the worst that could happen to him is that he would become cold and unfeeling, relentless, merciless; in other words, become like Voldemort himself. I don't see that happening any more than I see Harry dying.

Those that may die in book 7:
Voldemort - A given; see above
Severus Snape - Definite. I hope for one last heroic deed from our dark and sinister man. I hope he goes out in a blaze of glory (to coin another phrase).
Mad-Eye Moody - Very likely. He'll go down but he'll take a lot of baddies with him.
Some minor membors of the Order as well as Death Eaters.
Bellatrix and Greyback will both die.
Perhaps Narcissa - defending her son?
Wormtail - Definite. And good riddance.
Some innocent by-standers, including muggles, and perhaps some of Harry's schoolmates.
Hagrid - Uncertain. I certainly hope he doesn't die. - I love ol' Hagrid. :upset:
Percy or Charlie or another Weasley: Uncertain.

Those who shall live:
Harry - Very definite. See above. The Boy Who Lived. May not be unscathed.
Ron - Very definite.
Hermione - Very definite.
Ginny - Very definite.
Remus Lupin - Quite positive.
N. Tonks - Again, quite positive.
M. McGonagle, the Twins, Bill, Fleur, Molly, Arthur (?)
Hagrid - yes, he's on this list too, I'm more inclined to think he'll live, but not sure.
Neville - He will live and bring honor once again to the family name.
Lucius and Draco Malfoy - I think both may live, humbled and in disgrace. A fate worse than death for so proud and vain a family?

None may come out unscathed physically, mentally or emotionally, of course; but I imagine a slightly bitter-sweet ending, more sweet than bitter. Sort of like after a violent thunderstorm has finished; the atmosphere quiets and settles; and the sky is still filled with grey and silver clouds but between and beyond the clouds, you see sunlight and blue skies. Or a rainbow arching to earth. I imagine an ending with hope for the future and not entirely humorless.

All this is my opinion, and I know lots of you believe in your opinions as strongly as I do mine. I'll be reading book 7 with a bottle of Ketchup at hand in case I have to eat my words! :eyebrows:

I don't know exactly who but I think a Weasley will die... hopefully Percy because hes a 'hmm cant think of any clean insults to say about him'.

I hope Snape dies...I have never liked him much.

The way I look at it the only guarnteed death is Voldemort. I mean think about it-Harry Potter's target audience is kids therefore good always triumphs over evil. it's that simple. I'm of two minds as to whether or not Harry will kick the bucket in the process as well, but somehow I can't really see it happening. It'd seem a little anti-climatic I think to kill of the hero. Ron and Hermione won't die now for sure because they have to get married and have bushy red haired children! ;)

I think Snape has a very high chance of dying and one of the Weasleys will have to die. Bill won't as he's already been grievously injured. My instinct says Charlie or Percy and I'm hoping it's Percy. Git.

Neville will take down Bellatrix but I can't see him flat out killing someone. Unless he just pushes her off a cliff or something.

Moody of Kingsley's going to die, I can feel it.

I'm hoping Fudge and Umbridge get killed somehow. I'm really optimistic about that possibility.

I know that more nameless and faceless individuals will die, and probably random characters who have been mentioned in passing. Should be interesting.

I agree that over all there is going to be quite a few deaths in book 7, it's a bit hard for me to say who, exactly, I think will bite it at this point though. But, my predictions are:

LV, Snape, one of the Weasley's (I can see Percy, as he REALLY has to redeem himself with his family, and in our eyes, somehow, and what better way than to sacrafice himself for one of this family members? Although, I am scared for Ginny as well), Bellatrix (and I so hope Neville gets her), at least one of the Malfoy's

I think Lupin and Wormtail will die because I believe all 4 Maruders will be gone by the end of the series. And I also strongly believe that Wormtail will pay off his debt to Harry by saving him from Greyback. You know he's going to take down a werewolf with that silver hand of his, and I just don't see it being Lupin now that a much more badass werewolf has been introduced.

Wormtail would then probably be taken out by one of the DE or maybe even LV (depending where and when it all would go down) for helping the enemy, or something of that sort.

As far as Ron and Hermione go, I'm way to unsure to even make a guess. I want both of them to live, obviously, but part of me could see Ron going, but also how unexpected would it be for Hermione to go? Even JKR has said how she doesn't know why more people aren't worried about her wellbeing instead of Rons.

And Harry could go either way.

Here's who I think will die and who I think will live:

Severus Snape- I believe Snape is bad and that Harry will kill him before his final confrontation with Lord Voldemort.

Peter Pettigrew- He is so sniveling and cowardly that he has to die in the seventh book, but at the hands of a Death Eater or LV because he is going to have to help Harry due to his blood debt.

Lord Voldemort- He is obviously going to die

Harry Potter- I think he will tragically and heroically die in the process of killing LV.

Hermione Granger- She will live and get together with Ron Weasley and live together ever after.

Ron Weasley- He will live also because he has to morn Harry's death and be with Hermoine.

Draco Malfoy- He is going to be killed by one side, if not the other.

Other Weasleys- They will live in order to grieve over Harry, continue their Weasely Wizarding Weezes," and do all the other stuff they usually contribute to the books.

Hmm... Here's what I think

Severus Snape - He'll live and be forgiven by the magical community.

Peter Pettigrew - He'll die at the hands of Voldemort for helping Harry with something to fulfill his lifedebt.

Lord Voldemort - He'll be dead by the end of the series... I hope.

Harry Potter - He'll live a long and happy life as a war Hero and maybe get married to one of the living characters.

Hermione Granger - I think she'll die b.c of some mistake Harry or Ron makes, and they blame themselves for her death. If she does die, I hope they have more than 5 lines of mourning her death.

Ron Weasley - Not too sure about this one. I think he might die protecting Harry, though it's more likely he'll live if Hermione dies and vice versa.

Draco Malfoy - He'll join Harry and live to the end of the series. What happens to him after Voldwar 2 I have no idea.

Other Weasleys - I think that most of them will live except for Ginny, who will die a slow, painful death and get 5 lines of emo moments from the other characters.

Other Characters - I think most other characters will live, except for maybe Neville, who will get an Order of Merlin 1st class for his bravery on the field.

People will die in book 7, that is unavoidable, but, I think it would be too cliche if Harry dies. I just don't think he should. The hero must die to save us all, no thanks.

But is that does happens, then so be it. It is the great will of the JKR!

Having listened to JKR and her desire never to write about HP again, I think she has to do something drastic in Book Seven. I believe she will end the wizarding world after the final war between good and evil. The only real way she can do this is to let live only a few people who understand that at long as Hogwarts exists, there is a potential for another LV.

At the end of Book Seven, all wizards, students, teachers, ministers, anyone associated with the wizarding world, including LV, the DE and all the bad wizards will die in the final battle - except Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny - enough people to stop the possibility of a new wizard world starting up, but ethical enough not to take advantage of their own wizarding prowess.

Any other scenario would have to allow for the circle to loop over and over again, eg, another LV, another DD, another Harry, etc., and require JKR to answer questions for the rest of her life on when is HP, or his successor, coming back.

In the LOTR series, Tolkien did a similar job by removing all elves, wizards and ringbearers from earth and letting the lowly humans figure it out for themselves - which they did. I think JKR was a Tolkien fan.

Harry will live, what's the point if he dies?
Ron or Hermione, one of them could die. But it would be a sad cliché. In any case, since JKR likes to surprise us, she may kill off Hermione (because most people think Ron is more likely to die). I just hope she won't. Really, it'd be the worst possible ending for me. And I would be in denial...like forever!
Hagrid will die.
One Weasley brother will die.
And some members of the Order (not to important to the story) along with Neville will die too.
LV will die, of course.
Pettigrew, Bellatrix, Lucius, and Draco will die.
Snape has a 50/50 chance

Ginny will live and get together with Harry (since her literary makeover in book 5 she looks like 'Super Ginny' :td: even if many don't buy it, myself included)

The rest of the characters will live.

Some people say that there will be just a few deaths, well I think there will be more than just a few. I mean, JKR did say that she had a chapter about "those that survive"...So many will die. :upset:

I think that Harry will live. He is the hero, and I think that he will be triumphant and alive, given that other valiant characters have died thus far.
Hermione will live, as will Ron
I think that Hagrid will die in battle
I think that McGonagall will be severly hurt, but not die
Neville will die
Ginny will live
Pettigrew will die along with about half of the DE's
Bellatrix will live
Voldy will die
Ginny will live and fight w/Harry

I think that most characters will live and perhaps many hurt but still alive.

The Trio and Ginny will live. I'm not sure with the rest of the Weasleys. One of the might bite the dust.

Snape is a dead man walking
Neville and Luna imo will not live through the series as well.

I want Lupin to live but JKR may kill all the Marauders.

DIE
Lord Voldemort-Love overtakes evil as Harry vanquishes Voldemort.
Severus Snape-Harry loses his temper and casts a mad Sectumsempra and Snape dies a slow death :evil: .
Bellatrix Lestrange-By Neville and Harry tag team style :rotfl:

Hedwig will die and i will giggle.......

Lupin is going to play a big role in the next book. So I think being that he loves Tonks, she will snuff it. Don't get mad, revenge in books like this are always so sweet. Harry-live. LV I don't think will die, JKR has said many times in the book that there are things worse than death, I think Harry will figure out what that is and LV is doomed to that. Wormtail-die but due to his life debt he will do it in service to Harry, whether he wants to or not. Percy-gone. JKR will make it an emotional one too, I think. Bill too. Charlie will live because he has already been damaged. I like the Longbottom theory. He will die but he will go great. Snape will die I think, trying to save Harry. Bellatrix, man I hope she dies too, or at least goes insane like the Longbottoms. Moody will die. Harry will not let anyone else too close to him to go. He will find a way to save the main ones, i.e. Hermione, Ginny, Ron, and Molly. I don't know about Mr. Weasley. Draco, I don't know, live I think.

hiya,
this is waht i think will hapen
Ginny-live (i hope)
harry and LV will both die in battle killing each other or just LV will die
Ron- live i think
hermoine- i think ron and Hermoine will both live, but then again, im not too sure, i dont want them to die.... but... i think if hermoine dies, ron lives and the other way round as well.
Neville and Luna will both die, but i agree that neville will get an order of first class etc.
one of the weasleys will die or mabye more
percy- i think will die
snape-die (harry will kill him)
peter- he wil die protectiing harry
lupin-not sure
tonks-mabye
draco- will join harry, mabye and then die or will die on the bad side or LV will kill him...

People who will live:

The Trio
Ginny and the rest of the DA
Moony
Hagrid (:grumble:)
The Weasleys
Tonks
Malfoy: Harry, Snape and Narcissa Malfoy will protect him
Malfoy Sr.: captured by Arthur Weasley this time and put into prison for the remainder of his natural life.

People who will die:

Voldemort: killed by Harry of course but I like Proudaddy's idea of Harry figuring out something worse than death and using it against Voldemort. Maybe fill him with some lurve...

Pettigrew: killed by Voldemort after he finds out that Pettigrew has a life debt to Harry

Snape: killed by Voldemort after he finds he's actually with the good side and that it was all an act.

Lestrange: killed by Neville by pushing her behind the Veil.

Greyback: murdered by Moony and Bill and possibly Fleur :D.

Umbridge: killed by Hagrid and the all the half breeds in the wizarding world and the twins also.

Who I think will die

Voldemort- If he doesn't die than the series would have a pretty bad ending.
One of the Weaselys- At least one of them will die. The death will be pretty tragic.
Hagrid- As much as I hope he won't die I have a feeling he will.
Snape- If he is evil he will die. If he is good he will probally die too.
Remus Lupin- He will probally die trying to save either Tonks or Harry. :sad:

Who I think will live

Harry- The books are called Harry Potter. Besides a lot of people think Harry will die. His death wouldn't be that surprising. Jo makes the books unperdictable.
Hermoine- I hope she lives anyway. But it is possible that she may die.
Tonks- I don't know why I just don't think she'll live.

Several other minor charectors will probally die. And a few will live.

I´m affraid that there definatly will be people dieing, but who - I don´t want to think of - to sad, really, but I wouldn´t mind getting rid of Bella (that ***) but well, we´ll see...

i didnt mention hagrid, but i think he will die....

I think if Hagrid has lived this long, there is something big saved up for him. But he's too loveable to live. So here's a few I think will die.
Fawkes: it would be kind of symbolic, like the end of an era, so I think her long lifespan will end.
Hagrid: see above.
Neville: another loveable goofy one that would be tragic to see die.
Draco: probably everyone will end up being against him. He'll be too scared to be a full-blown Death Eater, but the Order won't want him either. He would also be a tragic death because things could have been different for him.

That's just a few that I can think of right now, I change my mind on this subject every day. I am not convinced about any of them dying, especially Hagrid because he is so strong.(He would also make a good epilogue subject) The only one I am sure will die is Voldemort.

This just came to my head and I doubt its true but maybe Harry saves Voldemort from death so that would mean that Voldemort owes his life to Harry and he can't stand that so he kills himself.

Harry will live,
Ron will live,
Ginny will live,
Hagrid will live,
Percy will die,
Hermione will die.......because she isn't anymore needed after Voldemort is gone her prupose in this story isn't anymore there. In fact this is a typical JKR writing all characters who aren't any more needed in Harry's life are killed off. All good characters which could cause a problem in plot are killed off.

We got at first Cedric, he had to die otherwise Harry would have never dated Cho at that time he needed to start his first dating phase. So He is killed, darn it.

Sirius was in book5 only needed to give Harry support and understanding how it must be to got no information, seen as liar etc. But at the end of OotP it was very clear the world believed him again.
Also shown was a conflict potential with the Weasleys. Molly claimed Harry as good as a son to her in this moment Sirius dead was a certain thing. You never win against the Weasleys in JKR's story. The Weasleys are Harry's family not Sirius. To avoid any conflicts, Sirius dies.

In HBP Dumbledore was bond to die because he stood in the way of Harry too. DD would have been a problem for Harry and his Hero status. So he needed to be killed off too.

In book7 Hermione is going to die simple Harry won't need a bookworm, know-it-all anymore after Voldemort is gone. If Hermione remained alive the conflict between her and Ginny needed to be solved, the conflict between Harry and Ron too. Because in both cases Ginny and Ron share a certain jealousy or better said conflict potential. If Ron and Hermione fight Harry is standing between them, if Harry and Ginny fight Hermione stand between them. Potential conflicts in HP must be avoided, best way kill Hermione off and Ron ends up with Luna.

Harry won't ever appear too close with Luna, Ron never too close with Ginny. Conflicts avoided.

My Book 7 'Death List':
-Voldemort
-Snape (I have this gut feeling that he's going to die doing something quite noble, hence the redeemable quality that Jo hinted at many years ago)
-Wormtail
-possibly Lupin
-other Order members (dunno who. Not Tonks or Kingsley)
-Bellatrix
-Ron or Hermione (I'm leaning towards Hermione here. I mean... we've seen the effects of Voldy's 1st horcruxes on DD, the greatest wizard of the age. His later horcruxes have GOT to be much much worse. I have never, previously, had his two best friends on my other book deathlists. She's the brains of te outfit, yes, but she's not as agile.)
-possibly Harry (Although I doubt it, technically being a children's book. But the hero doesn't always live in the hero cycle.)
-Percy (his estrangement will be the death of him)
-Draco (which is much too bad because I'm starting to feel for him)

Gasp! You forgot Umbridge! Gah, either she'll die or forever have nightmares of Centaurs, Werewolves, Giants , & Peeves chasing her! :p
__________________________________________________ _______________

My own list:
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Lupin, Tonks, the rest of the Weasleys, Neville, Luna, and such will all live!

As long as my favourites don't die...Yes, I can dream :p Well, I know this won't happen, but I'll adjust.

Snape is going to do something noble so that we'll all love him more at the end. He'll go out with a bang, but I think as a good guy. I think Snape will die being good because it's hard to see Snape living to be an official goodie-goodie.

One of the Weaslys will probably die, not Fred and George, they are comic relief and possibly supply more magical gadgets for Harry :o Anyway, one of the Weaslys dies, Percy get's Pee'd off and is more significant.

Harry won't die. Dumbles said that Harry's greatest stength was that he was human, that he could endure, love ect. It wouldn't make sense then, for him to die to rejoin his loved ones.

Pettigrew has a life debt too. He'll probably redeem himself in a way similiar to Snape. He'll probably die though, probably by Voldy.

I can't decide if Lupin will end up fighting Pettigrew or Greyback. Anyway, I would hope every single Marauder won't die. Lupin was very close to Harry but wasn't as close as Sirius or DD so I don't think his death would have the same impact, therefore it won't happen.

Bellatrix will easily fight to the death in the name of Voldie..It's only poetic justice for Neville and perhaps Harry to fight her.

I don't think Malfoy will die, he's already proven he doesn't truly have the heart for killing and being a true Death Eater. He may just switch sides if Voldie kills his mother or father.

Ron/Hermoine won't die either. I doubt Ginny will die, she's already had her turn almost dying by Voldie in book 2.

Hagrid is extremely loyal to Dumbledore. If he does die, I know he'll get slowly cursed to death as he fist fights 10+ wand drawn Death Eaters. It was awesome seeing him beat the **** out of people and not get hurt by stunners in book 5.

For people saying Voldemort won't die because there are worse things than death, the prophecy calls specifically for him to be dead. I actually doubt he'd choose to be a ghost because living without any real power would be useless to him. Err..well ghosts don't really live but you know what I mean.

I do not believe that Ron, Hermione, or Ginny will die. Even though ti seems likely, since ones closest to Harry have been killed. I believe that their charaters are too central to everything going on, and they will not be knocked off.
People were talking about Harry possibly being a horcrux, ludicrous thought if you ask me. LV made his horcruxes out of powerful and cherished objects of great wizards, when he went to kill harry he had no idea of his greatness and would make no horcrux of him.
Snape may die, but he will die honorably, for i refuse to believe he is on the dark side.
The death eaters, dead at the hands of the order, hands down, none will survive.
Draco will live, i dont believe he is truly evil, though he is a scumbag.
I dont believe Lupin will die, I believe he is too much of a last link to Harry's parents to be killed off. Plus i think something will come of the romance between him and tonks. Someone from the order will meet their death. Im not sure who, perhaps Shacklebolt, or even snape may be the one from the order who buys the farm, because im sure he did not kill dumbledore out of treachery, and dumbledore's portrait will reveal that.

A lot of action is coming in the last book, i already cant wait

I read somwhere something about Rons name relating back to self-sacrficie or something ( in other words, sacrifising himeslef to save Harry - similar to PS/SS) Has anyone else heard about this?

I think Snape will die, once he has revealed to Harry that he is good and the reasoning behind Dumbledore's death. I think the trio will live, and I think Luna and Neville will live too.

Pettigrew will die, so will Bellatrix. I have a feeling Lupin may be killed by Fenrir, or atleast hurt extremely bad. I don't think Percy will be killed...but I think he will redeem himself to his parents, and then Arthur will die...leaving Percy feeling terrible.

I hope Rufus gets killed...wouldnt it be cool that the Minister gets killed? I think it would!

ok can anyone comment on dumbledore family and lineage... i think it is important and i think the 7th book will have a large portion devoted to that... JK rowling hinted at that in her last interview

I think Snape will die saving Harry from Voldemort, at the same time as killing him (Voldemort).


I would like to see Umbridge have a long drawn out painful death, but I doubt it will happen.

I think the Trio will live.

I don't want Snape to die but I wouldn't be surprised if he did. I think it would be an honourable death however as I think he's still on the side of the Order, and he and Harry will have made peace with each other beforehand.

I think it would be really interesting if Bellatrix was killed, or at least defeated, by Neville.

I expect something to come of Lupin/Tonks so I think they both live.

I think one of Harry's friends might die - one of the minor Gryffindor characters, or perhaps Luna. I hope it wouldn't be Luna as I like her too much.

DIE


Voldemort: Because if he didn't it would be a neverending loop of death in both muggle and magic world. It just wouldn't make sense.
Harry: Because I think they'll both die in the end. But I have my doubts.
Ginny: Too close to Harry. The only way she wouldn't die is if she was barely included at all in book 7.
Bill: Just a bad feeling.
Fenrir: Lupin and him will battle it out, Lupin will win.
Bellatrix: Neville or Harry will kill her out of revenge. I'm rooting for Neville.
Neville: See above. If Neville dies in that battle, Harry will take over and kill Bellatrix in his place.
Hagrid: I just don't see what he can give to the story anymore.
McGonnagall: Bad feeling.
Lucius: He has no more use for the Dark Lord.
Peter: Will die saving Harry's life.
Snape: He's stuck inbetween Voldemort and the Order. He has no way to live on either side. I think that Harry will have mercy on him, and Voldy will kill him.
Mrs. Weasley: Because I just don't see her living past the end.
Percy: Who DOESN'T want to see him die? :huh:
Umbridge: Obvious reasons.



I think everyone else will live, possibly. Except for a few Order people..Maybe Kingsley or Moody..

I think Fawkes will die, too. He isn't yet, but he is loyal to Dumbledore. I think he will die defending Harry. After all, he is part of both Harry and Voldemort's wand.

Live:
Harry
Hermione
Ron
Snape
McGonagall
Tonks
Lupin
Percy
Charlie
Bill
Fred
George
Molly
Arthur

Die:
Voldemort
Wormtail
Mad Eye
Mundungus
Greyback

That's just what comes to mind right away.

I think Fawkes will die, too. He isn't yet, but he is loyal to Dumbledore. I think he will die defending Harry. After all, he is part of both Harry and Voldemort's wand.

I don't think he can die...He just keeps being reborn. Remember how he swallowed the Avada Kedavra in book five? (I believe he swallowed it...)

The people who die will die for a reason, that's the way JKR write's. If they died for no reason what would be the point of killing them (except Umbridge; she would deserve it). Anyway people usually want the good people to live and the bad people to die, so that means that won't be happening. In the end it will go the way JKR planned it from the start, and the conclusion will be astounding.

My "live" list happens to include only good guys for a reason. I put so many then just stopped and I figured I'd be better off putting down the good guys I think would make it. I see those I listed as surviving for a reason too, not just "I want the good guys to win".;)

As for the bad guys, I think the well known Death Eaters will end up in Azkaban. For example, Bella and Lucius. Then, the ones that were at the Ministry, Rookwood, Macnair, etc. will probably end up in Azkaban as well. I think Fenrir will die because, really, what else could you do with him? He's a different type of enemy. He's really messed up in the head, nothing about him is right or human to an extent.

I think the first of the Order to die will be a rather unknown member. One whose death Harry would hear of but not be affected by on a personal level. Instead, it would be like a wake up call; it's really happening and the Order has taken a hit, know what I mean?

I hate to say it but I strongly believe Ronald Weasley's life will be cut dramatically short. Comments that Ron makes in passing tend to become very relevant later on. In PS he tells us that we have to make sacrifices before he lets the queen take him in the Chess game. It would be an interesting paralell if he sacrificed himself for the greater good in the final book as well. Ron's death would give lots of people (Harry, Hermione, the Weasleys, Hagrid etc) the anger they need when fighting the forces of evil.

I doubt that any purebloods will survive to the end of the series. Voldemort will definately have a part to play in this eventuality. Ahhhh the irony. :rotfl:

My other suspicion concerns the marauders. i don't think any of them will live past the end of book 7. I have a feeling that wormtail will somehow redeem himself before his death as well. Afterall he was put in gryffindor for a reason.

Other than that everyone will either live or is a definate maybe.
Oh- and the dementors will have a date with Nagini. :p

First off, not nearly the amount of people we expected to die in book 6 did, so therefore we can probably accurately predict that not many people will die in book 7. Jo has repeatedly proclaimed that Ron is her favorite character, so I doubt she would kill him.
I honestly don't think book 7 is going to have many battles or events like a war. We saw more action is book 5 when 6 had the war proclaimed. Ahh..but who knows. I predict more strategy than fight.

I think the only death we can be really certain about is Snape's. His character has been setup that way, I feel. Also, I'm thinking Ron will die or be very close to death. Any other deaths will be DE's or Order members (Lupin and Tonks will survive, but Kingsley, Moody, Aberforth, Mundungus may bite it)

People at the final battle -
Voldemort
Harry
Hermione
Snape
Wormtail

I think Voldemort will discover Snape's true allegiance and murder him in front of Harry. Then he will take the Mudblood Granger and threaten to kill her unless Harry bows down to him and allows him to kill him, thus fulfilling the Prophecy. So Harry has a choice - attack Voldemort and watch Hermione die or sacrifice himself and let her live. He is about to lay down his life when Ron appears and attacks Voldemort, who parries his spell and then performs the AK. Hermione runs to Ron's side and Harry and Voldemort battle it out to the death (i.e. Voldemort's).

Well soounds maybe logical but I am going to bet Ron dies protecting Harry and Hermione.

Matt

Die
Most Death Eater will die, Bellatrix go back to Azkaban.
Narcissa, Lucius, Snape, Voldemort
Harry, Ginny

Live
Draco, Hermione, Ron and family

It has to be dramatic for book 7 so, this is my thought.
I think at the end, Harry Potter will die and Voldemort too

Live:
Harry
Hermione
Ron
Snape
McGonagall
Tonks
Lupin
Percy
Charlie
Bill
Fred

Mundungus
Greyback

That's just what comes to mind right away.



I don't think he can die...He just keeps being reborn. Remember how he swallowed the Avada Kedavra in book five? (I believe he swallowed it...)
I think the one who live will be....
Hermione
Weasleys family
Luna Lovegood
Neville

Dead
Harry
Voldemort
Snape(25% sure)
LILY AND JAMES (100% sure) LOL


datz aLL dat i could thinkkk

Well soounds maybe logical but I am going to bet Ron dies protecting Harry and Hermione.

Matt
Naah,, It's more logical if Harry died because of protecting Ron

I think that Snape (however evil) may have an attack of concience and die trying to battle Voldermort or save someone (In my mind this doesn't redeem him for what he did in HBP).

I have seen it suggested that Harry will die when he kills Voldermort because of the link they share, but that link was partly severed in GoF during Voldermorts return.

Ron may die trying to save Hermione, but I hope not as I think the trio should live.

So here are my lists.......

Live:
The trio
Weasly Family
McGonnagal
Lupin (Will avenge Sirius' death)

Die:
Voldermort
Lucius Malfoy
Snape
Pettigrew
Greyback
Bellatrix (by Sirius)
A lot of Death Eaters

Not to be evil, but I get an eerie feeling Molly is going to die. Her bawling over the dead-body-boggart could be seen as foreshadowing.

Well, I think Voldemort and Wormtail and many death eaters are going to die... But I have no idea which ones of the good guys will die. I've got a feeling that the trio + Ginny are going to live. Somehow I don't think that Snape is going to die, although I'm not sure if that's just because I so much want him to survive! He's my favorite character, and I believe he's on Dumbledore's side. I just think that Snape dying a noble, heroic death saving Harry would be a bit of a cliché, so I hope it won't happen that way. Maybe one of the Weasleys is going to die, or maybe Hagrid or McGonagall.

I think Voldemort, Wormtail, Bellatrix and some other death eaters will die. I also think Harrys going to die, even though, of course, I don't want him to.

I think Ron, Hermione, Neville, and Ginny will live. I don't think any of the other Weasleys will die either. I don't see Hagrid dying.

Why are there so many that think that Harry will die? What is the basis behind that. Does the hero have to die to introduce drama into the book, I think not. Harry is the boy who lived, I wish that people would belive in him.

B/c it would go along with a common canon that the good guy triumphs over the bad guy... I want the bad guy to win...for once...

B/c it would go along with a common canon that the good guy triumphs over the bad guy... I want the bad guy to win...for once...

So you want an evil person to escape justice and to kill a bunch of kids, what kind of sick idea is that? Yes, in cannon the good guys usually win, this is because we wouldnt like reading so much if the bad guys won, there is more than enough of that is the real world. Why in heavens name would you want these kids to die?

Who wants the evil, foul, soul splitting mass murderer and muggle killer to run amok? That's awful! Anyway, to be completely honest, last time I read the HBP, the good guys were losing. The ministry was completely ineffective at stopping the Death Eaters, and were doing almost more harm than good what with their propaganda and spying on the order (not to mention arresting the innocent, like Stan). The Order was taking up slack, but honestly at the very best they were holding the Death Eaters back, and at the worst they were fighting a losing battle. Surely enough parents and friends of students have died to prove that. Also, in response to this quote:

Moved and Seconded!

Well of course Voldemort will have to die. I'm also thinking Snape will die too.

I don't think that many people will die in book 7. Or to be abit more accurate many main characters.

Since only Sirius und Dumbledore were killed until now it's IMO abvious that JKR hates killing her main characters. And the thought of her getting on a killing spree in b07 is indeed attractive ;) but not really likely...

Of course, this could be exactly what she wants us to think...

Personally, I don't think that any of the trio or Ginny are being set up to die. My reasons:

1. JKR has joked about the possibility of all three of them dying in interviews. If she's planning on killing any of them, I don't think she'd discuss it at all. She'd want it to come as a complete surprise. Plus, there's the fact that she claims she cried when she wrote Sirius's death. Do you really think she'd talk about the three main character's deaths in such a light-hearted way if that's really what's going to happen? I don't.

2. The romances. IMO, if any of them were being set up to die, then the respective pairs all would've had torrid love affairs only to be tragically interrupted by one or both of their deaths. As it stands, Ron and Hermione aren't official quite yet, and Harry and Ginny are on hold. Especially regarding Harry/Ginny, the "call off the relationship until the danger is out of the way" situation is a classic one, and almost always ends with the pair getting together at the end.

As for who I think will die: my money's on Snape (definitely), a Weasley, (probably Percy), Hagrid, and of course, Voldemort.

Think about this....

Dumbledore, Sirius and Lupin are all father like figures for Harry as he never had someone to look up to. Now the only caring adult Harry has left is Lupin. I have a nasty feeling he has it coming. Then Harry will truly be alone. But I'd like to see Lupin kill Fenrir Greyback sometime in the last book.

Along with Voldemort, I believe a member of the Malfoy family will die. JKR said something will occur in book 7 regarding Snape's "pattern of redemption"...He may yet sacrifice himself. Fenrir Greyback dying would prove popular, as would the death of Belatrix... Except for Cedric, all the casualties of major characters have been older.
I still think Dobby will get it...

Fenrir definitely deserves to die, but he's off limits: he was captured in "The Lightning Struck Tower", HBP. Harry hits him with a body bind and then goes running after Snape (pausing briefly to zap the DE fighing Ginny). Since we didn't see him run away and all of the order were in the tower, we can assume he was out for the count.

i think lupin will finish greyback and get his revenge for the miserable life he caused em

But I think it would be mentioned while they were all at Bills bed...

I imagine the last part of the book will be full of death. I'm pretty sure Voldemort is gonna die (big news) but also Wormtail who is likely to give his life for Harry. I'd also say Bella. I hope snape is not going to die, I don't feel he has to in order to prove he is actually on the good side. I can't see 2 ppl sacrificing themself for Harry... it would be a bit too much.
As for the good side, honnestly if the Weasley family get over all this it would be below all statistic laws. But it's hard to say who will die and I prefer not to think about it as so far Joe killed all the guy I wanted so badly to stay alive.

i can see snape dying at the hands of somehow saving/helping harry. if he lived, i don't know if he'd have a purpose in life. he's never loved anyone(well not that we know of, and if he has, their dead), and the only person who truly believed in him, dumbledore, is dead, so he has nothing to live for really. (i know it sounds awful but it's true) as for harry, i'm on the fence on this one. part of me thinks jkr won't kill him off cause that would just be cruel, but other things, clues lead me to believe that he will. in sorcerer's stone, there's a scene with firenze and bane in the forbidden forest, right after voldemort tries to kill harry. bane is angry at firenze for saving harry's life. he says, "Remembe, Firenze, we are sworn not to set ourselves against the heavens. Have we not read what is to come in the movements of the planets?" (american ed. p 257) i may be reading to much into it, but it could be the possibility that bane is saying it's in the stars that harry dies, and firenze should have just let voldemort kill him. i don't know......

Before HBP I always had the feeling that DD would die , but I figured JK would kill him off in book 7, but I was wrong. Now I'm starting to get that same feeling with Snape. I figure that he will be killed in some wild moment of redemption when we all realize that he has been on the goon side the whole time. Remus Lupin hopefully will not die, but if he does die I think that it will be because of injuries sustained from fighting Fenrir. Fenrir will die at the hands of Lupin, but before dieing he will have probably killed off a few minor charachers. As for the Weaslys i don't think Percy will kick the bucket any time soon because he has been such a prat to everyone throughout these last few books, and finally after book 7 is over he will see the light. if a Weasly dies I think it will be either Arthur, Charlie, or one of the twins, but not both. i still haven't decided if Harry's going to die yet. Who knows? I guess we will eventually find out.

in sorcerer's stone, there's a scene with firenze and bane in the forbidden forest, right after voldemort tries to kill harry. bane is angry at firenze for saving harry's life. he says, "Remembe, Firenze, we are sworn not to set ourselves against the heavens. Have we not read what is to come in the movements of the planets?"

I've always been taunted by that scene too, not just because it imlies that the centaurs believe Harry is doomed to die, but also I'm not even sure Harry would have dies if Vapormort had attacked him. Harry had the protection given him by his mother against LV in his skin. On the other hand, Vapormort had horcruxes squirelled all over the place. Maybe nothing would have happened to either if Firenze hadn't stepped in.

Which brings me to my prediction. I think Firenze will die :upset:

hagrid will eathier die or be sent to azchaban (yeah i spelt that wrong)

it will be the one last thing to tick harry off before he goes and lays the smackdown on voldemort

I change my mind completely on this everytime I think about it.

At the moment I think those who will die will include Voldemort, Snape, Bellatrix (at the hands of Neville!), and Wormtail (after repaying his life debt to Harry). Along with a fair few other Death Eaters (Greyback-hopefully, beacuse lets face it he is rather unpleasant).

I think on the good side it will be unfortunately Harry. This is because of the underlying themes of self-sacrifice and nobility throughout the series, and generally because I can't see it ending up as a fairlytale ending. In addition Harry would also get what he sees in the Mirror of Erised, in PS/SS, which is to be re-united with his parents (albeit in his afterlife).

Lets face it, as Molly said it will be a miracle if all the Weasley's come through it. I find it difficult to decide though. I feel that Ron will live if Harry dies, as JK is unlikely to kill them both. They will most likely receive different fates like James/Sirius. Bill was attacked in HBP, but survived, so if he were to die it would probably have been easier to have got it over and done with. I only think one Weasley will die and, can't see the Twin double act getting separated. I can't see it being either of the parents or Charlie. So it boils down to either Percy or Ginny. Percy either seeing the error of his ways and fighting on the good side, but dying heroically, or at the other end of the scale maybe ending up as a Death Eater. I reckon the latter of these two is a distinct possibility, as Percy's ambition seemingly knows no bounds. Ginny also is a possibilty, as others have said parallels can be drawn with Lily, so perhaps she will die in a similar manner.

A few of the Order like Shacklebolt and Moody will probably not make it either.

Basically I think there will be a fair few deaths on either side, it is afterall a war.

Having said all this I'll probably have a totally different view when I wake up tomorrow!

Voldemort, Wormtail (saves Harry), Bellatrix (Neville gets his revenge), Greyback (Lupin and Bill get their revenge) and some other DEs
As for the good guys
I have a funny feeling something bad will happen to Fred and George, but i hope its just a feeling.
And I can see Percy doing something stupid that might get him killed.
As for the trio I think its very doubtful that Ron or Hermione will die but very possible that Harry will, hasnt everyone been predicting it since he started school ((foreshadowing))
But the only thing I know for sure is that Ill need a box of tissues

I think on the good side it will be unfortunately Harry. This is because of the underlying themes of self-sacrifice and nobility throughout the series, and generally because I can't see it ending up as a fairlytale ending.

LotR had a fairy tale ending?

It depends on how Harry survives and how the ending is written...

Here's my two cents on this. I'll just list the deaths to make this easier.
Mrs. Weasley, Fleur, Ron, George, Hagrid, Lupin- good side
LV, Bellatrix (AK she casts bounces back and hits her), Draco's parents (ooo now he and Harry have more in common)(Killed by LV also), Pettigrew (Uses his hand to take down LV, redemption from character like him would be a good plot twist).
Various Other minor characters

hum...I have a bad feeling that Harry won't live to tell his story..Voldemort I think he must die... I mean..the bad guy usually dies..bad theory but moving on..:blush:
and...I think Luna is not going to be saved...

OK, well this is a tough one........ it depends how nasty JKR is feeling at the time. This is how I HOPE it'll turn out:
Neville/ Harry will kill LV, the other will die.
at least one weasley, Im afriad to say.
Hagrid? I hope not, but it looks likely :'(
Lupin- sorry, mate, you're great and all, but you've had a fair few run-ins with death already....
The DA will rise again- but will suffer, I think :(
URM.......oh yeah, LV will hopefully die *cough cough*
Pettigrew (the little weasel! :p ) will either a) disobey LV, and die protecting harry (or then again, Snape may well do that) or b) kill harry then die himself
All in all, there's gonna b one massive show down between good and bad and both sides will unforunately (in the case of good side this is) suffer :(:(:(
DONT DIE NEVILLE!

I have a strong feeling its going to be Harry that she's going to kill...but he's gonna die after killing Voldy, i'm sure of it. i'm very sure ron & hermione will survive & go on to get married and have kids & all the happily-ever-after things! (though we're never gonna read about it).

poor harry tho', i'm gonna be really upset if & when she kills him. but i think it'll make him the ultimate hero if he does die after killing u-know-who. the whole good triumphs over evil thingy, y'know.

I don't think Harry will die, because it would be so completely unfair and he would never have a chance to be with Ginny until she died too.

I don't think Harry will die, because it would be so completely unfair and he would never have a chance to be with Ginny until she died too.

Life IS not fair...

This is what i think will happen: harry, ron and hermione will live. harry will kill voldemort (I SAID HIS NAME!). ron and hermione will get together. ginny and harry will live seperate lives and harry will get together will luna lovegood or gabrielle (fleurs sister). wormtail will help harry kill voldemort but wormtail will die. snape will be put in azkaban. draco will come over to the good side with his family.dumbledore wont really be gone. later in life harry will become the best auror ever. he will then be minister for magic but give it up to be headmaster at hogwarts. :p

I think that Harry will die but he will kill Volemort (and dysroy all of the horcruxes) in the prosses. Then someone Ron and Hermione will die because I don't think that JK could break of the trio.

Maybe Harry will somehow pursuade Voldemort about love. He can conquer the "Dark Lord" and make him realize his own true self. The dark lord will die, but maybe Tom Riddle won't (just a silly wild guess*-*).

I think Lucius will be killed at the hands of his son, after Snape betrays and deserts the DE's and Lucius finds out about the Vow between he and Narcissa and tries to kill Narcissa but Draco saves Mommy and they both go to the Order for protection....

i think dat lupin will die and tonks will go wid him n harry's gonna get angry n kill voldy :D
or...hermy or ron will die n harry'll kill voldy
or...neville will help harry 2 kill voldy
at these 3 options u see VOLDY HAS TO DIE!!!

i think that wormtail will repay his debt to harry by saving him from LV
ron nor hermione will die
hagrid might die
i belive draco will die
I do believe harry will indeed kill LV

can i just ask? how would you kill Hagrid? the giant blood is really strong.but then if giants have been killed by aurors before. maybe you have to send like 5 at a time or somethng.

Or Hagrid could be hit with an Avada Kedavra: I doubt even a full giant or dragon would be protected from that (though you'd need a very powerful wizard with something that big), and Hagrid is neither huge nor a full giant. He's still really tough though, I doubt he'll be killed (or if he is it will be really sad).

hagrid can be injured grawp showed that you just need to throw him against a wall and beat him up like a muggle

True, but Grawp's fifteen or eighteen feet tall. You try beating up an eight foot tall, four foot wide guy with muscles like Arnold and see how far you get XD.

I think that Harry and Voldemort will die at the end because of what the prophecy says...

Yes, we at least know that much. And I think we can rule out Harry because if Voldemort lived and took over the world we would all scream.

Here's what I think:
1) I'm not sure if Harry will live or die. If he lives all will be good, but if he dies it will all be bad.
2) Voldemort's going down. If Harry lives, Voldy's dying. If Harry dies, Voldy's dying. It's a win/win situation (well, except for if Harry dies, that would still be sad).
3)Hagrid (i'm sorry to you Hadrid fans) is going buh bye. I don't see his character being strong enough to survive.
4)As much as I hate to say it (NOT) I think Ginny's going to die, because Harry (Aargh!!!) loves her, and even though he broke up with her to "Protect her" (Yeah right, all us Non Ginny people KNOW that he just didn't want her <and yes, that was SARCASM>) she's still going to be determined to be by his side... therefore putting herself in danger's path.
5) Hermione's not dying. You can just tell.
6) I don't think (I HOPE not!!!!) Ron's going to die, but I do think he's going to be hurt in the final battle.
7) Luna's not dying. People see her as wierd, but I think she's more alert and would be able to prevail in the time of danger. She's not going anywhere.
8) Neville? Naw, no way. But I do think he's going to be a major part in killing Voldemort.
9) Draco? I think Draco will.
10) Lavender? YES!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, kidding. (or AM I?...)

One person who's kaput: Trelawney.

We've had such a build-up of the danger she is in if she leaves Hogwarts, and her discontent because of Firenze.

I think she will be lured out in Book 7, questioned by LV, using the Bertha Jorkins model, and reduced to rubble.

i think that harry,ron and hermione will stay alive though someone from the weasley family will die i think,and i think its is CHARLIE!!!!!
though neville will live too!!!!
but hogwarts will remain open!!!
IT CANT CLOSE!

Harry possibly but only because Dumbledore made it so pointedly clear that death is not the end despite what Voldemort feared. And Harry seemed to realise that especially in the last book.

i completely agree with you. yeah, she'll go. she'll be questioned by LV because he'll think shes actually a good seer because shes the great granddaughter of some famous seer. and he'll be dissapointed i might add. :p

I had never thought of Trelawny dying. However, now that I think about it, it seems like a plausible death because she is a very valuable asset (I'm guessing that's why Dumbledore kept her over the years even though her prophecies have been correct twice).

On another note, I can see Harry dying as well. I don't know if J.K. Rowling would be as bold as to let Voldemort live and Harry die (although sometimes, I wonder...) but I can see Harry dying/sacraficing himself in order to kill Voldemort. This would along the lines of Dumbledore sacraficing himself when he and Harry went to the caves.

I don't think Harry will die. JKR has to appeal to children, the audience this book is supposedly aimed at. How many children's books end with the hero dying in battle? (I'm not asking for a list thanks :rolleyes: ) Even sacrificial death is pushing it a bit far. Although I would like to see how Warner Bros dealt with it.
Dark side
Voldemort has to die, or at least be utterly defeated. I like the theory of him being shoved through the veil, along with the other Horcruxes. ('Not Harry, please not Harry, take me instead')
I also think Bellatrix and Snape should die, hopefully at Harry's hands - though Neville would be cool for Bella. Possibly Wormtail also, I'm still not sure whether there is hope for redemption, but maybe he will sacrifice himself, thus being redeemed and paying the Life Debt he owes Harry.
Light side
I have a horrible feeling Professer McGonagoll might die. She is one of the few characters whose death would affect Harry, but would not impede to too great an extent on the Horcrux Hunt. Also fitting into this category are Hagrid, LupinTonks and Mr and Mrs Weasley. Of these five I think Lupin may well have to go (please JKR, no). Harry depends on him as a teacher, and the father figures in Harry's life tend to meet rather sticky ends. I don't think Hermione, Ron or Ginny will die. I don't have a rational explanation for this, and I know there are many good arguements for one or more of them dying. But there you go, I'm not a very rational person.

No matter what Harry survives, he is not enough Jesus, and way too much Luke Skywalker to croak at the end. Snapes a definite death, but Wormtail's up in the air. He's always been in awe of the one he follows, and his debt to Harry and love of James may really sway his conciounse(i cant spell). All i really really know is that book 7 has got to be at least 1000 pages, theres way to much to wrap up to be less than that, so that leaves a lot of time for a lotta death, but also a lot of life saving acts of heroism.

i personally think it will be wormtail. it was made clear that harry will appreciate in the end that wormtail owes his life to harry. Just a guess but it might be possible if wormtail is somehow in the "final battle", and has to sacrifice himself for harry? i dont know thats just one of my ideas. Im up to constructive criticism! "Owl me"...

I have a theory.... When the four marauders are listed in book three its Moony,Wormtail,Padfoot,and Prongs (Lupin,Pettigrew,Sirius, and James).
When listed backwords it's James,Sirius,Pettigrew,and Lupin. James and Sirius (maybe) are dead so couldn't it be possible that she's killing them as she listed, but backwards? Thats my theory anyway.

Die
Voldemort, Snape (while saving Harry's live), Bellatrix (hopefully by the hand of Neville), Lupin and some other Order members

Live
Ginny, Ron and all the over Weasleys, Hermione, Neville, Fleur, Tonks

Now you'll miss Harry, but i just don't know if he will live or die. But i like Happy Ends and so i hope he will live together with Ginny

Of course some Members of the Ministry will die. I hope for umbride and the new Minister of Magic

ithink the same i also think that filch will die and so will his cat and i think bill or charlie will die unlike u but i hope percy

Hermione's "Exceeds Expectations" OWL (instead of an "Outstanding") in book six is a clue-I think she will die in book seven. And although I currently cannot find examples, George has always been differentiated a little specially from Fred-I think he'll die too, and both deaths will be heroic.

Hermione's "Exceeds Expectations" OWL (instead of an "Outstanding") in book six is a clue-I think she will die in book seven. s will be heroic.

What could possibly make you think that a test result could foreshadow someone's death. That is absurd.

Oh, ermmmmmm...
I hate to say this guys, but Harry. Definately Harry. I mean, I would be absolutely devasted if he did, but it would be a satisfying ending, making me cry, and I love things that make me cry...
Voldemort...duh...
One of the Weasleys, probably Fred or George, or Charlie, as I can't imagine Ron dying, and Bill has already been injured, so... oh yeah, and Percy, I hope Percy dies.
Ginny'll live. Of course Ginny'll live.
Draco Malfoy, not sure. If he turns to the good side, then yes, if not, then no (it's a cruel world...)
And Finally... Tonks. I seriously think that Tonks will die. I hope not though...

What could possibly make you think that a test result could foreshadow someone's death. That is absurd.

excuse me, I'm entitled to my opinion. Rowling puts every little detail in there for a reason.

But Ron got an E on his DADA owl too. I think the point of that scene was not to show who would die but to point out, again, that Harry is the best at DADA in the school.

excuse me, I'm entitled to my opinion. Rowling puts every little detail in there for a reason.

No, of course you are entitled to your own opinion, I was merely wondering why you felt that an "exceedes expectations" grade would warrent a death? What is the logic behind that, there seems to be little connection to a grade and an actual death. Hermoine has always proven to be a brilliant witch, and if she dies (which I doubt), it will not be from something other than lack of intelligence.

Oh, ermmmmmm...

You seem quite certain that these characters will meet their fate and die. What is the reasoning behind that? Why? Have you no hope it these characters? Have we gotten to the point that we need death and death alone to provide an adequate dramatic element. He is the boy who lived for crying out loud!

And what specifically is it about Tonks that makes you think that she will Seriously die?

But Ron got an E on his DADA owl too. I think the point of that scene was not to show who would die but to point out, again, that Harry is the best at DADA in the school.

Right, but the best mark in DADA doesn't help you to fight Voldemort!

I think Ron, Hermione and everyone else will die in the final fight but Harry will die fighting Voldemort (And take him down with him). Just what I think... I hope it doesnt happen...

I surely hope that both Ron and Hermione live. Because it looks like they will finally get together in the next book and I would hate for that to happen and then one of them dies!

Also I hope Lupin and Tonks survive because they finally got together too.

Sighs* I do think one of the Weasley's wont survive.

I do think Harry will live! Someone was saying JK Rowling will write more books after the 7th but I dunno how credible that source is.

I do think Harry will live! Someone was saying JK Rowling will write more books after the 7th but I dunno how credible that source is.

I am pretty sure that JKR has confirmed that there will only be one more book.
I have a feeling that Harry is not meant to survive,. A bit like Frodo in LOTR. He has a path he has set out on. A quest that may claim his life. I just cannot imagine him as adult and having kids etc. I just dont see it. :upset:

Has anyone suggested that the characters who have been recognized with a Happy Birthday on JKR's website probably survive the series. The main characters who were never wished happy birthday were Serius, Voldemort and Dumbledore. Maybe she couldn't bring herself to wish happy birthday to someone she know would die.

If this is correct I'm afraid Snape survives.

How long has she been doing this? Is there a list of these characters anywhere?

Follow the links on the left of the Mugglenet.com main page. JKRowing.com info.

OK Thanks.

Interesting, but I can't see some of these characters surviviing. Like Draco or Hagrid. Draco's just gotten in too deep in the DEs, and I just believe Hagrid doesn't have much longer due to a theory that I like.

But if this list does indicate who survives, it troubles me a bit not to see some characters that I like. But maybe they are simply too minor...

is sirius dead? you dont know it might just be a one way portal.

i think sirius will come back or maybe harry survives and goes through the archway.

i dont know theres just something funny (not haha funny) the archway.

i think sirius will come back or maybe harry survives and goes through the archway.

Hey, it's like Frodo's departure to the Grey Havens...or whatever.

I think Harry will die because if his scar is a horcrux he'll have to kill himself to get rid of it. Hopefully there will be some unknown spell to get rid of it, so Harry won't have to die. It could also be Draco because in the 6th book he kept saying, "If I don't do it then he'll kill me." or something like that. Draco didn't kill Dumbledore, but Snape did, so Voldemort may kill Draco since he wasn't the one that killed Dumbledore after he had been ordered to. Anyways I completely think Voldemort will die.

My prediction:

Harry and Voldemort battle it out near a lava-pit. Harry pushes Voldemort in, but slips off a ledge, and falls in, too. Snape comes, finds Harry melting in lava, so he Levicorpuses him to safety. Snape constructs a magic-fueled body suit to preserve Harry's recently-mangled body.

Later, Harry throws Snape into a seemingly bottomless, vertical tunnel because Snape eats Harry's waffles, and tries to use the familiar, "they were getting cold" excuse.

Then Harry gets very angry, and accidentally steps on Crookshanks, killing him instantly.

Well, that's my fantasy for Book 7. Honestly, I think Harry, Voldemort, Lucius, Wormtail, and Snape will all die. Give or take a few (...few as in 5, 6, 7, 8 etc.)

in book three. there are thirteen people sat round the table at christmas. Trelawney warns that when there are thirteen people sat around a table, the first one to get up will die. Sirius Black got up first. two years later, he died. in book five, Ron is the first of thirteen people to get up from the table. by the end of the last book, it will be two years since Ron got off that table. he may die, just like Sirius.

Die
Lupin,Tonks, Mr.Wesley,Percy Weasley, Voldemort, Draco&Lucius Malfoy and Harry.

Live
Ron Wesley, Hermione Granger, Mrs.Wesley , Ginny, Neville, Luna and Snape ( i know he is evil but he is my fav charcter) :upset:

:evil: I think Harry will be victorious and Voldemort will die along with his followers(death eaters). :p

Harry will die but be brought back by something . . . perhaps a Horcrux of his own. Take a page from Voldie's book.
Ginny will survive to finally give him the family he's always wanted.
(If Ginny dies, Harry really won't have anything to live for.)
Hermione dies. Ron dies.
All the other Weasleys survive.

Gagh. Not that I want to read all those deaths, but I think that's what will happen. How else is Harry going to get to the Horcruxes? There will be sacrifices involved and I imagine his two friends will jump in to keep him safe. Man. That's going to be rough.

Here's what I think:
1) I'm not sure if Harry will live or die. If he lives all will be good, but if he dies it will all be bad.
2) Voldemort's going down. If Harry lives, Voldy's dying. If Harry dies, Voldy's dying. It's a win/win situation (well, except for if Harry dies, that would still be sad).
3)Hagrid (i'm sorry to you Hadrid fans) is going buh bye. I don't see his character being strong enough to survive.
4)As much as I hate to say it (NOT) I think Ginny's going to die, because Harry (Aargh!!!) loves her, and even though he broke up with her to "Protect her" (Yeah right, all us Non Ginny people KNOW that he just didn't want her <and yes, that was SARCASM>) she's still going to be determined to be by his side... therefore putting herself in danger's path.
5) Hermione's not dying. You can just tell.
6) I don't think (I HOPE not!!!!) Ron's going to die, but I do think he's going to be hurt in the final battle.
7) Luna's not dying. People see her as wierd, but I think she's more alert and would be able to prevail in the time of danger. She's not going anywhere.
8) Neville? Naw, no way. But I do think he's going to be a major part in killing Voldemort.
9) Draco? I think Draco will.
10) Lavender? YES!!!! YES!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, kidding. (or AM I?...)
i have a feeling, considering a line from HBP, (that i can't think of at the moment), that Harry will kill voldemort, but go down with him. I think it's something that Harry said that was like "I will defeat him, even if I have to die doing so" or something like that. I only read HBP once. I think i should re-read it........ anywho, that could have been JK Rowling's way of foreshadowing Harry's death in the final fight with Voldemort. that's just what i think

I dont think that Harry will die..
remember folks this is a children's series...she has to leave hope somewhere..

I do think that a Malfoy will die (either Draco/Narcissa or Lucious/Narcissa)

I think a Weasly will die (Charlie or Percy & one of the parents)

I think one of the lesser characters will die (i.e. Seamus or Dean)

I think one of the professors will die (Im going with Hagrid..as much as that hurts me)

Thats all folks..

in book three. there are thirteen people sat round the table at christmas. Trelawney warns that when there are thirteen people sat around a table, the first one to get up will die. Sirius Black got up first. two years later, he died. in book five, Ron is the first of thirteen people to get up from the table. by the end of the last book, it will be two years since Ron got off that table. he may die, just like Sirius.


?? You seem to be saying that Sirius Black was the first to arise from a table seating 13 at some point in book 3. Sorry, when did that happen?

I could really see Harry dying at the end of this whole thing. That ending would resonate with the clues we've been given about what basically drives his character.

One driving force for Harry is a desire to be with his family. When he looks into the mirror of Erised he sees himself surrounded by his family. The only way to achieve this is to join them in death. We know this thought is somewhat attractive to Harry--when he is possessed by Voldemort and thinks he is about to die, he thinks longingly of how he'll see Sirius again.
Of course, Harry doesn't HAVE to die to be with family. He could make his own. So Harry's somewhat morbid longing to be near those who are dead isn't really proof of anything. But it is one suggestive piece of evidence.

Another is that Harry, as Hermione well pointed out, has a Saving People Thing. He likes to save peopel, particularly those he loves, and he doesn't hesitate to sacrifice himself if he thinks that is necessary. Of course, this also doesn't prove that Harry actually will have to sacrice himself in the end, but it would be consistent with what has consistently been revealed about his character through the books.

To me, the fact that he doesn't seem to clearly imagine a life for himself post-Voldemort is also very suggestive. He can't really clearly imagine himself with Ginny--even being with her short-term felt like something "out of someone else's life." Career-wise, the only post-Hogwarts goal he has ever clearly articulated is being an Auror. But I don't think he really does want to be one. He wants to hunt down evil wizards, Voldemort in particular, yes, but he is doing that already, as a rouge agent. Harry clearly wouldn't fit in with the politics of the Auror's office if Rufus is a good example of a successful Auror.

Also consider that Harry is set up as similar to Voldemort in some ways, but at the core they are opposites. One thing we know about Voldemort is that he fears death above all things. Harry does not. I believe that in some ways, Harry longs for it.

Of course, those things aren't proof of anything either. Maybe Harry just can't imagine the future because it is hard to think past the current war he is fighting. But in my opinion it is more than that. Harry is a sigularly directed and pure individual, a hero who does not fear death and who would willingly sacrifice himself for those he loves. He was born to defeat Voldemort, and I also believe he was born to die young.

I think Voldemort will die.

I WANT the following people to die:
Hermione, Ginny, Draco, and Luna.

Why? Because I love them so much! I like sad books; if they die I'll cry; therefor eI want them to die!

Sound crazy? Maybe. But that's just how I feel. Anyone else? Owl me!

I think that seven people will die in the seventh book because seven seems to be the key number in all these books.

Yea I so agree. I love sad books that makes me cry. That's why I hope Harry dies.
I can't really see Harry surviving after all this. Will he be able to lead a normal life after he defeats Voldemort? Marry Ginny and live happily ever after? I don't think so. It's not because I think his scar is a Horcrux (why would Voldy want to kill im if he's a Horcrux??) but it's because I think he'll drag Voldy down with him. I think towards the end of the book when the climax reaches its full height, Harry will realise something that will destroy Voldemort and in the process I thnk he will die too.
I also think Mrs Weasley's fears will come true. I don't think all of the Weasleys will survive. I think it would be either Mr or Mrs Wealsley. Or perhaps Charlie.
I also think a minor character will die too.
Wormtail is another character that I think will die in debt of Harry saving his life.

But Ron got an E on his DADA owl too. I think the point of that scene was not to show who would die but to point out, again, that Harry is the best at DADA in the school.

Yes. Okay. I'm a bit embarassed. I read too much into it!!

It is rumored that the last word of the book 7 will be scar. How can it be if Harry is already dead. ie. "And there lies Harry's remains with the cause of his death, his scar" nyahahahaha.. pretty dull isn't it?

i think ron or hermiony or ginny or someone in rons famly will die

Harry will die. I personally believe that Harry is a Horcrux and that he would have to die to kill off Voldemort. I don't think Ron or Hermione will die but I think someone who is like a father figure to Harry will die -- maybe Hagrid or Lupin?-- because that's who she tends to kill off (i.e. Sirius and Dumbledore). But I do believe for Voldemort to die....Harry has to die.

Yeah, I would rather Harry die to be honest....come one realistically speaking, he doesn't have much of a chance. I don't see Remus living through it either, but I do think Hermy, Ron and Ginny live. I think it would cause a dramatic irony if Kreacher dies right at the very end.

I think Voldemort and Harry will die together in the end. I've always wanted Harry to die, I mean I dont hate him or anything, I just think it would be a great ending.
I think Hermione and Ron will live. I hadnt considered Ginny, but if she keeps a close relationship with Harry, there's a chance she might die too (that would be so surprising yet expected and so incredibly sad, it would probably drive Harry and so many others crazy and their thirst to kill Voldemort would grow even more).
I think at least one member (probably more) of the Order will die and probably some students
Man! Book seven will be sad! Lol

I don't think Harry will die in the end. I believe he's a Horcrux but, when Harry kills Vold, Vold won't be able to use Harry's body, because of the "love".

Theories... Theories.... Theories.....

First of all it would be a travesty if Harry died considering the books were based on him as the main character, his death is not really a possibility to me. Plus considering the prophecy...

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies ..."

One will survive and i personally would have to believe firmly it will end up being Lord Voldemort. Here is a list of folks I imagine becoming deceased and a list of folks who survive in the upcoming book....

Deaths:
Lord Voldemort
Petter Pettigrew
Fenrir Greyback
Lucius Malfoy
Bellatrix Lestrange
One of the Older Weasley's (Bill, Charlie, or Percy)
Rufus Scrimgeour
Remus Lupin
Tonks

Living:
Harry Potter
Ron Weasley
Hermione Granger
Severus Snape
Draco Malfoy
Neville Longbottom
Minerva McGonagall
Rubeus Hagrid
Luna Lovegood
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley
Fred & George
Ginny Weasley

Plus considering the prophecy...

Quote:
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies ..."


One will survive


I hadn't thought of that, that one will survive. It gives me hope that Harry will live.

Of course the dark lord has to die.
Further more:
Antonin Dolochov( is old, but also powerfull, dies at the hands of moody)
Severus Snape( dies saving either harry or neville)
Rubeus Hagrid( the rubedo stage, killed by the dark lord himself)
Dawlish( to much of an idiot to survive)
Pomona Sprout( one of the students becomes a teacher, it just has to be neville)
I hope Bella dies, but i can't see neville or harry pull the trigger
I don't know how, but Molly will have to go.
Kingsley Shacklebolt( overpowered 3 to one at the minister)
Fenrir Greyback( killed by wormtail in some way)
Peter 'Wormtail' Pettigrew( Remus finishes his job from POA)
Maybe some lesser known Order and DE members, like Sturgis Podmore, Elphias Doge, Nott etc.

Wormtail and Moony have to die because all the maraurders (sp?) will die, it just has to be. Harry will die along with Voldemort, either in some self sacrificing thing, or for other reasons. Ron and Hermione won't die, but some of the other Weasley's will (personally I hope it's Percy....). I want Snape to die, but he probably won't. Oh well....there are my few speculations right now.

I think Harry, Ginny, and Voldemort will die (the three people with some of Voldemort in them.) And I think Lucius Malfoy, another one of the Weasleys, and Mundugus are also kicking the bucket.

How does Ginny have a piece of Voldemort in her?

Diary. I meant, has or has had. He was like possesing her.

Voldy dies for sure, and i think (hope) the trio and Ginny survives.
Deaths
Hagrid
Snape
Luna
Lucius
Percy
more students
and someone we know but not from school (minister for magic, diagon alley or hogsmeade)

I think Ginny will die :upset: I hope I'm wrong but seeing the pattern of deaths in the previous books, I think it might be her next. I mean the people who mean the most to Harry keep dying(Sirius & Dumbledore) except for Ron & Hermione and I dont think either of them will die.

I think Ginny will die :upset: I hope I'm wrong but seeing the pattern of deaths in the previous books, I think it might be her next. I mean the people who mean the most to Harry keep dying(Sirius & Dumbledore) except for Ron & Hermione and I dont think either of them will die.
Oh, dont you worry, Ginny will not die. We are going to start seeing a turn in the last book. It is time for the workers of dark magic to meet justice, time for some death eaters to recieve their lunch, and time for Harry to be able to save those who he loves.

I think that someone else close to Harry will die in the next book maybe Ron, Hermione or Ginny or maybe even Remus.

I can't decide who I think will die between Harry or Voldemort, I'm lean toward both, otherwise I'm half and half.

I also think that Peter Pettigrew will die.

I don't know about Harry or Voldemort but I think these people from the good side will die:
Fred and George Weasley
Ron
Hermione
Some other Weasley brother
Lupin
Tonks
Moody
A lot of members from the Order
Fleur

I just realized when reading OOtP: Mundungus is gonna die for sure.
Ms Figg shouts she will kill hum numerous times, or that Dumbledore will kill him. And in HBP, Harry strangels him. Could be.....right?
