What will you do if Harry dies .. ?

[Mr Ollivander 382]

sorry , please don't hate me .... :sorry:

I was just wondring about all the talk that Harry might die in the end , so I thought about how would I take it in if it did happen , I know he's fictional ... but he is really a good fictional friend nevertheless ... :'(

so how would you react to the fact that Harry is dead , if indeed that happens .

again the question is " what if " , not " what may " .... it's a question about your feelings about Harry's death rather than the possiblity of it happening .


thanks .


P.S : if there was a similar thread , then please wipe this one off ... :cool:

[Hagrid442]

I'll feel sad, no doubt about it. I wouldn't be surprised though. There is alot of correlation between Harry and Jesus, and it's highly probably that he'll sacrifice himself at the end to bring about salvation.

I don't know if I'll cry. Probably not. I'll put down the book slowly, sad and blown away. I'll be sad, too, that it will be the last chapter in the life of Harry Potter.

[DogStar87]

It all depends on the situation. Knowing me, if he acts some sort of hero, saving the good side, destroying Voldie, and in turn, losing his life, I will probably cry out of emotions. If he is killed by someone from the dark side, I will probably do something out of anger.

To the guys: dont be afraid to admit you would cry!!

[JenBluffheid]

I'll cry. No doubt about that. I'll be crying for days! I'm a sensitive person, hehe.

[Hettie Hoffleboffer]

I'm with you Jen, I would cry uncontrollably.

Honestly, I would actually be a bit dissapointed. Not that I wouldn't understand that Rowling did it out of sacrifice or some other reason. But it would kinda suck after the years and years that you have invested into these books, and their characters, just to have a pessimistic payoff like that.

I just like happy endings I guess.

[Puffskein]

I've never actually cried at a book, I do get a lump in my throat occasionally...but I may well make an exception if Harry dies, or indeed any character we've got to know and care about through the series. Even though we didn't know Cedric all that well, his death felt like running into a brick wall, because it was so pointless.

[AlovelyDarkRose]

It would Probably take me a while to realize and comprehend Harry is Dead.

[Celestine_Adams]

I'd BAWL MY EYES OUT!! If anyone deserves to DIE, here are some other chars who could use a slow, painful death:

1) Voldemort (I'd probably clap if this one suffers slowly and painfully!)

2) Lucius & Draco Malfoy

3) Snape

4) Dudley Dursley and Dursleys Senior

HARRY DOESN'T DESERVE TO DIE!!! :'(

[Sherlock Holmes]

I think it's unlikely that Harry will die. If he does, it won't be until #7, because otherwise the title can't be "Harry Potter and the...". It is possible that Harry could be a sacrifice, as the books get darker that is not so far-fetched. But I still think that he is so much the central character that JKR can't/won't kill him. It would really be a weird ending to the series. I just can't see it working, from a writing standpoint.

[Hagrid442]

I don't know. I don't think it's too far-fetched for him to die. Jesus is the central character in the New Testament, and he dies. It wouldn't be until the very, very end of course that Harry dies.

Don't mistake this for me thinking that there's no way Harry will survive. Both are equally possible.

LOL Celestine. I don't think the Dursleys and Snape deserve death. Snape's shown that he has some moral fiber underneath his jerkiness and bitterness. And the Dursleys aren't so deplorable that they should die.

The Malfoys, yeah. At least Lucius. Draco's done nothing that really deserves death. But Voldemort and Lucius have killed innocents.

[Daily Propheter]

I'd be bawling uncontrolably, no doubt about it. I'd be in shock, walking around like a zombie for days.

[Celestine_Adams]

Heh. :D Perhaps it is because those chars annoy the cr*pola out of me, I am a bloodthirsty little :censored: itching to do violence to those who *seriously* bug me and those I love....
:angry:

[Harry Potter Freak]

I hope he doesnt die in the end.....i'll be bawling for days

[Fuchsia]

What could I do? Try not to cry because that would be kinda pathetic....I'd wait until no one else was around and then would cry.

[Kneazle]

I'd be shocked, no matter how much warning was given. I'd finish the story, come very close to hyperventilating when I actually comprehended it (that would take a while), and then cry hysterically.

[hedwigs_keeper]

I would probably cry. :'( That would just be too sad! I'm with the "happy endings" group....I don't want the good guy to get the axe! *sniffle*

[harryton]

if he dies, i would just hate the book and not read them ever again, becuase if it all leads to a dead harry then whats the point of reading the book.

[seashell323]

I tend to agree with harryton...I'd read the book, cry, and then end up absolutely hating the book (and possibly the series). It would be a pointless end, and in all honesty I'd probably be very angry.

[xicanti]

I would most likely bawl my eyes out.

I would still re-read the books, but I'd probably cry all through them each time, since I'd know what they were leading up to.

[hedwigs_keeper]

I would never stop liking the books, even if it did end up with *gulp* Harry's death. Granted, I would be a bit depressed reading them again, but nonetheless they are (will be) wonderful books.

[You-Know-Who]

I would be shocked, I would not cry, I would go to this board and talk about it :)

[lanifiel]

I think that if he does Die it will be in a great way, and that while it will be sad it will alos have that uplifting feeling attached to it as well, but I hope he does not die...

[Sherlock Holmes]

Lol, you know, if he did die, and we were all as grief-sticken as we apparently expect ourselves to be, that would really confirm the Muggles' (non-Harry Potter fans) view of us as fanatics that really need to get a life...!!

[fawkesthepheonix]

If Harry dies, I will be bawling. I know that for a fact! :'(

[Hagrid442]

LOL Sherlock. Well, alot of people have put their time and money and most importantly their hearts into reading these books. It's only understandable that they might feel some grief at the passing of someone they've gotten to know so well. :)

[Gandalf]

Well personaly I'd never ever look at the books in the same way again. I wouldn't cry, but I would be on the brink of doing so. I'd only cry if J.K. Rowling writes it in a very emotional way like in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I just can't help cry a tiny bit when Gandalf *dies* and Boromir dies.

IMO if Harry dies, it will be because he's either sacrificing himself to stop Voldemort, or Voldemort wins in the end. It would most likely the first option but I'd prefer the second option. About time we had a story without a happy ending and the bad guy winning in the end :devil: :devil: :devil:

[Aspen]

I'd probably be to shocked to cry at first then I'd throw the book across the room and cry, then I'd go get the book and start reading it again.

[Harmonica]

Oh Gooood...if Harry dies...I will have to start with Zoloft again and probably go in to a new deep depression. :'(

[Kneazle]

lol! Too true!

I wouldn't hate the series if Harry died. I agree with lanifiel that if Harry does end up dying it will most likely be somehow uplifting. I mean, in all probability he would die heroically, and I do think that the series will end with the downfall of Voldemort. If the end is sad, I trust that it will be fulfilling. I think that JK will leave us all satisfied, and that, whatever happens to Harry & Co., she will not needlessly kill characters and inflict unnecessary pain on her legions of fans. ;-)

[violet]

I would cry as if a real life mate had died!

[Da da da da da86]

I would be very satisfied with the book. It would show that Rowling does not compromise her creativity for what the fans want.
I might get a sniffle, though.

[Ness]

Me? I'd probly say "Oh, that's weird." Finish the book, Watch TV, Play Some Computer Games, Get A dink and some food, completally forget about Harry, then see the book later on and say "Oh yeah, that stupid series where the main charector dies". And still go on with my life as normal. However, the chances of that are slim. There's a greater chance that I'd Laugh my head off at him for being such an idiot and getting himself killed, and THEN say "Oh, that's weird." Finish the book, Watch TV, Play Some Computer Games, Get A dink and some food, completally forget about Harry, then see the book later on and say "Oh yeah, that stupid series where the main charector dies". And still go on with my life as normal. :D

[apples]

If Harry died, I would go into shock and then cry my eyes out. I'd feel really dissapointed about the books and probably not read them again for a really long time. :( I really want Harry to live!

[DogStar87]

But what if Harry turns evil and dies?

Uh oh. poke:

I never thought that circumstances might change that would make his death happy. What if something happens that would make his death good? I'm getting off topic, sorry about that. :sorry:

[hedwigs_keeper]

Harry? Turn *gulp* evil? I don't even want to think it! But even if he was evil, I would still feel bad if he died.....kinda like the Anikin/Darth Vader situation.

[xicanti]

I guess it would. :) But I'm sure the anti-HP people have been emotionally involved with books before too, (after all, I think the goal of most good fiction is to get you to care about what happens), so they wouldn't be very justified.

Beautifully said, xicanti. :clappy:

I would find it hard to believe that all people against Potter haven't gotten caught up in something they enjoyed, even one time in their life.

[Ava]

:'( of course i would cry. no, i would positively howl uncontrollably.:'( :'(
but i think there's a fat chance that he'll die out of some heroic deed in the 7th book. let's just hope Jo Rowling wouldn't kill him off. :angel:

[Katze]

If Harry dies, I'm getting rid of my HP books.

Don't mark my words though - I could change my mind!

[HP Fiend]

I Know personally I would be so very very diapointed if Harry dies. I Think that even though the book has mass appeal and is completely suitable for all ages, it was originally based for children, and to kill off the main character after everyone had grown to love him, would likely destroy the series for many children, and they would not really understand what had happened, and why. The concept is to abstract for some children. (At least where I live.) I think it would be a mistake if JKR was to do that.

[Fenrir]

I would have a huge lump in my throat. :( I don't cry, but I would be very, very sad for days. My friends would be even more convinced of my lack of emotional balance. :D

[girl_wizardry]

I got a massive shock when i found out Cedric died when i was still readin book 4....gosh but to find out HARRY dies is just soooo.....i don't know, indescribable(sp?). It'll be SO tragic. I mean, i would be very, very, very down for quite a long time cos then you know...that'll be the end of Harry Potter. There'll be no more Harry Potter. Gone. The end. That's it.

I don't know if i would cry or not but yea, i would be VERY, very down and sad....it's very very tragic. :(

[Firebolt]

I don't think JKR will kill Harry Potter. He is afterall the title of the book. Kids will be really sad about it.
And for myself, it will ruin my imagination.

[Katze]

I would cry! I know I would, and then I would be angry, which would ultimately cause me to get rid of my books and rid my life of HP. Sounds drastic, but killing HP off would ruin the magic for me.

Neither does Snape! I agree with the others, but not Snape. Although I do think he WILL die, he doesn't deserve to. He's been through quite enough...he has a right to be jaded and bitter.

[Skyfang]

Just like I did when Anakin Solo was killed of in the NJO books! Send the book flying across the room and scaring the cats!

[Fenrir]

Imagine it. The day the book comes out, Harry Potter fans start pouring into the streets, howling "WHY DID YOU DO IT? WHY, WHY WHY?" Endless mourning the whole week, and all Pott-a-holics would take their book, hug it and mourn the day he died in the book for the rest of their lives.

It could happen! Really. :D

[HandsClean]

I think that I would not cry but, feel sort of vanity...Why do I have to read this book?...something like that.

[Anne]

I think I'll be completely shocked and quite miffed. Harry's death just seems like a really dumb way to end the series, IMHO. I think for the story to hold up, Harry needs to survive.

[HbAznKyootie]

serioulsy i wouldnt be surprised because:

1) JK has been known to do the unpredictable
2) Its a sure way to stop any other authors to continue HP after shes done
3) If Harry an voldemort both dies, good and evil would balance each other out, so in a way, the story of good vs. evil still continues.
4) if harry dies, this will be a sure way of saying "thats it, its over..."

[rotsiepots]

Quite frankly, I think we should be more worried if JKR dies. No JKR, no closure, no Harry to worry about...

They could probably get some second rate author to finish off the books using JKR's notes, but it wouldn't be the same.

Be afraid. :scared:

[Oddfellow]

I would probably start reading my copy of Ron Weasley and the Golden Snitch Hogwarts Year 6...

"Many who live, Deserve death"
Gandalf
"To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."
Albus Dumbledore

[Astrum]

I would publish my own seventh edition of the Harry Potter series, only changing the ending so that Harry survives, and then get sued by J.K Rowling. But at least Harry survives!:sorry:

[littledrummerboy]

I'd be sad for a couple of days. I would find it even worse if Hermione dies. But I don't think she'll kill herself.

[Ashley Summerlight]

I'd probably bury his memory in the backyard with my dog.

[Charmed]

I can't and refuse to believe that JK would kill off Harry. Too many kids love him and admire him. Its just too shocking to comprehend that she would kill him off.

[WhiteSlash]

I would just sit there, unable to move, maybe cry. If you've seen that delted seen in the PS\SS on the DVD where's he's just sitting there after the mirror, I cry at that part and the part where he sees them. It's that song they play you know. And his eyes. It's soo sad. I mean, it's like you know him. After reading and some people(like me) who have had dreams about it, who would cry. I mean, I had a dream I would see him. When I woke up, for days I felt sick, because, my insides were telling me something. If he dies, I think I would feel sick again.

[Zen]

If JK decides that Harry will die then that's the way it goes. It's not going to change the way I feel about the books.

However, if it turns out at the end that it was nothing but a dream, that will make me :censored: furious. I hate when a book or movie does that. It's such a cheap way to end a story.

[triki1988]

It would certainly be something different. But, since I'm not expecting his death, I would just run around in circles pulling from my hair screaming, "NO NO NO NO NO".

[Godric Gryffidor]

Harry dies this would be me :'( :'( :'( Folllowed by this :grumble:

[mrsweasley]

I would feel completely BETRAYED by JKR!!
How dare she take us through seven years of Harry's life and then just off him!! I'd be pretty pi**ed. I think he'll go through more turmoil but will win out in the end. In these days of terrorism and war, there has to be someplace where good overcomes evil!

[Benzo]

I would read it over and over, not accepting it, then I would cry and I would say, Only JKR can do that in books for kids *cough, I am pretty old for a kid!*

[Padfoot127]

I would cry my eyes out! I'd shut down mentally and physically! I'd be dead inside, not having the will to live. Hey! I just remembered that I can read the books before he died and pretend that he didn't...

[chow mein]

Honestly, I wouldn't do anything. I might be shocked and a little bit surprised, but other than that, nothing. I'll probably try to look for another book series that could top Harry Potter - that will probably keep me busy for a while...

[Sredni Vashtar]

Harry won't die. J.K.Rowling has already confirmed this with a line in the first book. I'm paraphrasing, but it basically reads: "Harry remembered this for years to come." Something to that effect. Unless she takes the same route C.S.Lewis took when he destroyed Narnia, it isn't going to happen.

I'd be really angry if Harry died at the end of the last book. It would invalidate the whole series for me. To quote Blackadder: it would be like a broken pencil: pointless.

[Weatherby]

I'd feel betrayed, hurt and admire her guts at the same time.

[HPviolinist85]

I would probably be pretty upset about him dying. I'm accually not sure if he will be the one, but I think that either him, Hermione or Ron will deffinitely die at the end. As most people said on this thread, they will probably die a hero's death. Reading about how it will upset his friends will be because of his death will probably make me sad. I wasn't too upset about Cedric until Harry thought about it or talked about it. I won't believe they are dead, until it is talked about afterwards

[Nick]

I'd celebrate, especially if Voldemort came out unscathed. Not going to happen, of course, Voldemort is such an arrogant twat ..

[Fleur]

I'd be really shocked, and probably cry. Once I have collected myself, I would throw myself off a building.

Nah, I was just kidding 'bout the building part, I'd really just jump off a cliff :rolleyes:

[bubblesofdeath88]

I want harry to die! but i want voldemort to die with him. i am really sick of the happy endings of good over evil.

[Aliabes]

I've made a theory about Harry beind very very neqar death in OotP that I've posted in another tread. Here is it :

in a lot of interviews, JKR toys with us about being so shure that Harry won't die ; the UK covers were designed after JKR instruction, and NO Harry on them ; instead, a phoenix : the very bird that dies and is reborn then ; could the phoenix stands in for Harry? ; Harry will have to look very closely at death ;

BUt I also think this could be forseeing Harry's death in book 7 (I don't think he could play an important part as a ghost, though JKR told us we'd learn about people becoming gohsts sometime?)

Anyway, I cried at the end of book 4, just is the same way that you cry at a movie, or music, etc, because it closely relates with your mood, own emotions and feelings? When I cried for book 4 (I was reading it for the second times), I made a connection between Voldemort, the deatheaters, and the snipper that was killing loads of people, and the rise of terrorism. I was deeply sorowed for our own world through HP's, and I whished we had a lot of Dumbledore to help us down here.

Anyway, when Harry will die (I like to believe he will), I'll be in very deep sorrow, because emotionaly, i will have a high impact, not like if he was a friend.

me too!! not to sound mean or evil or anything. But most authors always do the "good always triumphs over evil" thing and I think HP should be diffrent. Of course it would be sad cuz we've gotten to know Harry really well over all the books, so yeah I'll probably cry too :sorry:

[A. Hugamuggle]

I think Harry should die, after he has taken care of Lord Voldemort of course, because Rowling needs some restitution. I don't want people trying to make "what if" fan fics or real novels trying to carry on her series.

I would also be crying myself. He is sort of like a friend to me and an escape from reality. I will dearly miss him "if" he dies.

[M a r v o l o]

I would cry incessantly!! OMG, after reading his books for... by the time book 7 came out... how long would that have been? 7 years? Holy heck!!! I'd cry for months!!!

[M a r v o l o]

I COMPLETELY agree. You can't create this wonderful amazing world with characters exactly like you, and then just kill him. And don't younger kids read these books too? Like 8 year olds? I'm 16, so I'd understand somewhat about why and how Harry died, but younger kids won't!! She can't do that!!!

[DRaGoNoFiLlFaItH]

if Harrys lives then people will want her to keep on writing about Harrys grown-up life. So I think thats why she might kill him off and I think it'd be good

[JofpGallagher]

I'll trwow the book away without even care to finish it...

[Potter80]

I don't think think JKR will kill Harry. There would probably be book burnings and riots. Everybody would be very upset. People might even start stalking JKR. I don't think she would risk all that.

[tizzy weasley]

I would cry a little and then reread the series over and over again. Maybe start a petition in the area....done it before can do it again.
Though it's very doubtful that she will kill Harry off.

[Taliesin]

I think a lot of us would. I would. I'd burn the thing to ashes... :D

[Daily Propheter]

I've re-thought my answer a little bit:
I'd gloat a bit. (My friend and I have a bet about it...we're so cold.)
Then I'd cry a lot.
Then I'd re-read all 7 books looking for foreshadowing to his death.
Then I'd write JKR and either commend her for doing something so drastic and daring, or complain a lot.

[FoolOnTheHill]

"HARRY! OH HARRY!!!" *bursts into tears*

This ^ will be me if Harry dies. But I don't think he will. I hope he won't. Also, someone said they'd be walking around like a zombie for days. Me too.

[MadMagic]

I'll be pretty disapointed if Harry dies. It will seem like evil won.

[Picko]

For me it would the only that matters is how it happens, if JK writes it in a way that makes Harry heroic in death then I wouldn't have a problem with it but if he dies like a punk I think I'd be a little upset.

[Auri DeMeer]

I cry at the end of the Little Prince and it's still one of my favourite books.

I'd understand if Harry dies, after finishing Voldemort. JR won't do it, though - too angsty for children...

Deep in my heart, I don't want any of them to die. Not even Voldemort.

[Yavanna]

One word: CRY. I would cry and lose faith in the human race. No, j/k about that. But I would cry,and be depressed for a while. (Is this a sign of obsession? OF COURSE!!)

[Mad Macca]

I would cry for weeks! Sad, but true. Harry Potter is my LIFE!

[Loz]

I cried when Cedric died - in fact, every time I reread it I get teary-eyed - so no doubt I would cry if Harry died. As I would if it were any of the characters I love. I might feel slightly lost for a while, as well - but I'm sure I'd get over it.

[Guardian Angel]

I would probably lose my balance and fall of the chair or the bed. Then I would start screaming - Noooooooooooooooooo!!! You know, like people do in the movies wnen something bad happens and then they raise their heads to the skies and start to yell... Only that I will yell at the cealing... And then the neighbours will pronounce me insane... But,I would still cry for Harry... (The same is for Ron or Hermione)

[DarlingChild]

I would probably cry :o I don't want Harry to die, but as long as he goes out in a dignified manner, and destroys Voldemortn in the process, I'll be happy.

[Dessie]

I believe firmly that Harry will die at the end of Book 7, I have believed this for ages, and I will go on believing it until Book 7 comes out (hopefully not too many years away, or I may go mad).

That doesn't mean I won't be sad. I'll be expecting it, but I have faith in JK's writing ability, she'll write it in a way that will make me bawl. :'(

[HPviolinist85]

Accually, I'm starting to agree. Proffessor Trelawney keeps predicting his death, and she does it over and over. She accually made a few good predictions in the past. Maybe we should look into this.
If Harry dies, he will probably die a noble death. I'm convinced.

[PotterIdentity]

See, with the exception of Professor Trelawney's last prediction in Book 3, I don't really take her predictions too seriously (and I believe that Dumbledore or McGonagall said something to that effect as well about her predictions never being accurate, except for the last one about Voldemort coming back). I think I would take her more seriously if it seemed as if the other teachers took her more seriously (especially Dumbledore), you know? Who knows, this may change in future books?

At any rate, I personally do not think Harry will die at the end of book 7, but my reason is not because I think JKR would be going for the "good over evil" triumph. I, however, do believe that someone in the trio will be killed, and I have a feeling it will be Ron. Harry has never really lived a day without the thought of Voldemort trying to kill him or at least someone really hating him, including the Dursley's. I would hate to see him die primarily because of this. I think Voldemort will be overcome, and Harry will finally feel safe from his wrath, but I think he is going to end up having to deal with a great loss at the end that no matter how much of an opportunity for freedom exists, life will never really be normal. I would hate to see any of the trio be killed, but I have a strong feeling that Ron will be and though we get to see Harry live, it will still be hard for us [the readers] to cope with because I think the majority, if not all of us, love Ron (and Hermione) just as much as we love Harry. I only felt it would be Ron over Hermione because Ron has that special male bond with Harry that's really irreplacable. If Ron does die in book 7, I hope it's for heroic reasons and not Ron just being killed by a deatheater or Voldemort. I can see Ron giving his life for Harry, though. This takes me back to the end of PS/SS when Ron risks his life on the chess board so Harry can continue. Also, during book 4 when Ron was taken for the second task. I think in future books, we are going to see this bond strengthen even more, and then there will be a twist in the ending. At this point in time, I just don't see Harry dying, but I also don't see a completely happy ending either.

I know someone made a comparison to Harry and Jesus in an earlier post, but this is just one more reason why I don't think JKR would kill Harry -- it would be too much of a correlation? I sense that she will try and stay away from those common literary elements because if that were the case of Harry sacrificing himself, I think everyone would be making this comparison and I can't see that being a goal of hers (just like that Star Wars comment that she made about Voldemort being related to Harry). Also, I do not think JKR would kill Harry just so people wouldn't expect any more books. People just have to accept the fact that she will not be writing more than 7 books for this series, it's not a matter for her, it's a matter for us because we're the ones that keep wanting more. Just because there are 7 books, doesn't necessarily mean that the series has to end with the lead character dying to complete everything. I initially perceived the 7 books just encompassing Harry's 7 years at Hogwarts. Lastly, and perhaps I am reading into this incorrectly, but I think if an ending where the lead character dies was really intended, I don't think the author would even make a joke about it in an interview because it's such a major turn in the plot. I think JKR just wanted to get our blood boiling about the idea and make us think about the "what ifs," but I think if an ending this dramatic and serious was really going to happen, the author would lead us in thinking about other matters so it would be completely unexpected? At least that's what I would do, but that's just my opinion. Anything is possible at this point because so much about the plot has yet to be developed so please don't take my predictions personally or seriously.

[sierra_sand]

I would be pretty upset, I would of course eventually get over it.
But it would be REALLY depressing. If he does die though, I hope she lets him have a little bit of happiness in his life before she "offs" him, or else it would be TOO depressing.

[too_wicked]

I think he'll die and I'm already bracing myself for the inevitable! I'll be upset of course but if that happens, I know JKR will do it in a good way. Yes, Harry dying is not good but JKR really writes good stuff!

[GrintSistah]

:'( IF Harry died i would cry like a little b:censored:ch! or if they Killed ANY WEASLEY then................they ...............will feel the RATH(sp?) of :angry:ME!!:devil: Oh man HEADS WILL ROLL!!:bite:

But i think the ones that will prolly die are Authur Weasley ( :'( ), Dumbledore ( :wow: ) ,and/or Hagrid (:no: ) and Voldie of course! :clappy:

[Stallion1]

Well first i would think what was she thinking then i would probably go into a dep depression lock myself in my room and then sit in the corner rocking back and forth saying "why why why did he die"

lol not!! i would probably be very angry.

[Lady Greyjoy]

poke: Are you guys alright poke:

A book (or series) having a sad ending doesn't make it any worse (sometimes it make it better). I would be pretty dissapointed that anyone would "burn" their copies of Harry Potter because they are uncomfortale with the fact that sometime good people die young.

I don't think the fight for good should be achived easily, in war people die. I think that if the series ends with Harry and Co victorious and all members of the trio are still living and unhurt (emotionally or physically) the series will be quite unrealistic.

Example:

World War II was a just war, yet many soldiers who fought for good still died, and those that survived could never be the same ( they had lost best friends, their innocence )

[Crystal]

I'm afraid I wouldn't be too unhappy. To be frank Harry is a very weak and characterless character. This is just my opinion but I don't care if he lives or dies, the whole "tragic background" thing is soooooo overdone, and he just dosn't catch my imagenation. Now if it was Ron or Hermione I'd be sad because they are far more developed characters!

[Stallion1]

you got a very good point crystal if ron or hermoine dies i dont know what i would do.

[Angel]

I certainly would be very shocked if Harry died. Then, after re-re-re-reading it I would really understand what happended and start to cry :'(
I'm not so sure that Harry'll dies, but I'm very sure that someone of the trio'll die.
But I don't agree with some posts of you, like "JKR can't do that"... I heard her once in an interview, where she said that NO ONE will influence her in what she writes in her books, not the fans, not the parents, not even her family. If Harry's death is already fixed in her mind, she'll do it.
But what could this be worth for? I can't think of anything but Voldemorts' defeat. I would be even more angry and sad if Harry died for nothing....but I hope it's not necessary!
And remember: Harry Potter is The Boy Who Lived, and not The Boy Who Dies Finally Anyway ;)

[triki1988]

I thik I'm going to change my thoughts on that one. If Harry dies, I'll take my bike, ride down to Miami beach and plunge myself from one of those big old bridges we've got...or better not. Maybe try to contact JK Rowling and ask *bawling like a maniac* "WHYYY!!!?? WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO US!?"

[Jessie]

I'd be pretty sad, but console myself with writing a fanfic where Harry is still alive. :p

[go_anna40]

I'd be pretty shocked, I'll probably shed a few tears here and there. I'd read it over and over again, trying to understand why Rowling decided to do that.
But then I'll get over it, I can't say it would be totally unexpected.

[Rowayda]

i wouldn't be very upset if harry died. Like Crystal, i feel his character is not developed properly but if Ron died I would feel much more depressed.(This is partly to do with the fact that i like Ron more than harry, in the book and the movies)
If harry does die, it would probably be very heroic, like him sacrificing himself and killing Voldemort in the process (something like that)

[Filius Flitwick]

I'd probably sit there in disbelief for a second, and then I'd realize that in the back of mind I was kind of expecting it. If you expect a good thing to last then that's just greedy.

[Padfoot127]

I would cry, like with Cedric and junk, but I'd be ok with it because it would probably be for a good reason.

[SnapesWoman]

I would scream at the top of my lungs:angry:*shaking fists* WHY GOD WHY ?:banghead:Then I would start to cry.:'( That would not be a good thing if he dies but I have a feeling he will at the end to save the world.:(

[Girl]

I hope he does not die. If he does I'll be so sad.

[harp230]

I think that I could cope with it if Harry were to die at the end of the series. Now Sirius on the other hand... I am sure I would pull the book out of the garbage before garbage day.....

[Barbara Kennedy]

I just think we all better keep a box of tissue handy when we read any of the next three books......
Yes, I'd cry, every time I read it, even the twelfth+.

[harp230]

Yeah I can't read GOF without yelling about how Amos Diggory acts towards Harry in the begining( thus irritationg Cedric) . i am so much more emotionally involved that last 2-5 times I have read the books....

[NuttyNiffler]

Depression would overcome me if Harry died...actually I will be depressed once there are no more books about the magical world.

[Lupin_Sirius_Fan]

I don't think that Harry will die as I sincerely believe that Harry will become an Auror - like Moody wanted.

I would be very disappointed in JKR if he did. It's too easy to make him die as a sacrifice so that Voldemort would be destroyed. Then again, it depends how dark JKR wants to make the books.

[The Next Weasley]

oh man, if Harry died...I seriously wouldn't know what to do. I'd most likely try to recreate the series if at all possible. If that didn't work, I'd do it anyways. But I'd probably starve myself for awhile. I tend to do that when somebody I love dies...like my dog died today...seriously, I've never known life without him...oops off topic. Well, I guess if I couldn't recreate the stories, I'd write to JK telling her to write after-the-books-sequels at least including Ron and Hermione.

[Lestrange]

If Harry died, I'm certain that I'd cry. I never really liked Cedric especially, but I really shed some tears when he was killed. Especially when I read the book again and Amos said something like "That'll be something to tell your grandchildren, Ced, you beat Harry Potter!"

If I read the series again it would make me feel sad to know that in the end, he would've died anyway. ...I'd probably be worse if Sirius died....I'm so attached to his character...:(

[GaPeach]

I would undoubtedly cry if Harry died.

I bawled during the Cedric bit in GoF, if that's any indication of how emotional I become when reading books. From a purely objective view, however (no shippiness at stake), I think it'd be awful if - after all the fear and sadness Harry has been through already - J.K. Rowling killed him. No, it wouldn't make the series needless, but...I personally think another member of the trio will make the ultimate sacrifice.

Don't know which it will be, but I'd be shocked/depressed just as well.

[Potter80]

I don't know why so many of you feel Harry is an undeveloped character. Harry has plenty of personality, and he is the hero of the books. The books are all written from his point of view, and the book is named after him. What we know about the story is what harry's thoughts are. If Harry died in the end it would be the end of the Potter family tree. Harry at least has to have an heir before he dies. I would be shocked and upset if he died, I would run around screaming like a maniac.

[Imperio! (Crucio!)]

:'( i would be very upset. no doubt about that. i wouldnt be surprised though. its obvious that one of the three are gonna die before, or in book 7. but still i will be very upset. actually id probably be upset more if hedwig died (i always seem to be upset with animal deaths than humans, i cried my eyes out on mighty jo young!!). even if hermione or ron dies i will be upset. actually whoever is destined to die i will be upset. even malfoy!!! :yup:

[drumchik182]

I know for a fact I would cry like crazy! :'( But I would take solace in the fact that it would be for a good reason. I cried when cedric died, I am sure I would cry at anyone else's death.

P.S. if he does die do any of you want to start a support group? :grouphug:

[GrintSistah]

Yeah!! :yup: we can make and wear black arm bands. as a tribute! we should do that for anyone important who dies (hagrid, any Weasley member, any of the fab three, DD, Snape, etc..)

[Potter_fan]

I would write JK and say "WHY OH WHY DID HARRY HAVE TO DIE?!?!?!?!?"

[Prof.Aze]

I would be very shock. I would just look at the book and do nothing as if i was hit by Petrificus Totalus. Maybe i would cry. I just can't stand someone dying that i like. :'(

[j_thunders]

If killing off Harry at the end of the series will make the book(s) better, then by all means, J.K. should go for it. Definitely. It shouldn't be one of those series where the main character never has to experience severe pain or death, and the only people who do are the main character's friends. That's like saying that heroes are invincible. I think the most heroic thing Harry could do would be to give his life to save someone else's. That goes for anyone.

Of course I would be crushed if he did die, but it would all be for the best. Would you rather have Harry die after saving (for example) Hermione, or would you rather see him standing on the sidelines watching Hermione being killed and not doing anything to stop it?

[AvidSkyRise]

If Harry died I would think it heroic and I would be very sad but hey...I'd be sadder if Ron died haha

[SammyAurore]

Definitely cry. I won't say who for those who didn't finish Book 5, but I (stupidly) skimmed through the book and when I saw the word "death" next to that character, my heart dropped to my stomache and my eyes teared up. First of all, I was mad at myself for finding that out before I was even half way through the book, but second, I just couldn't believe it! So I will definitely have a fit if Harry kicks the bucket.

[Christine Black]

I dunno. Even though I love the books, I don't like Harry much (does that make sense?). I wouldn't be that upset, I guess.

[PrtVeela]

Crushed...heart ripped out ...spit on then put back in, but I think that's the only way the story could end, any other way and I just don't think it would do the books justice.

It's the ultimate sacrifice, good v. evil...the final round! hahaha i got a little melodramatic at times ;)

[FredRocksMySocks]

i think i'd (a) cry (b)re-read the books over and over again, probably continuing to cry and (c)feel like i've lost a very very good friend. i do feel like harry is my friend...aww...i'm sad now...

[WaffenSS]

Hmm, honestly... I'll grin an evil grin.

[ilovedan112389]

I will probably cry.....may be i will commit suicide????hey, just a joke..

[Draco is Hot]

i'll be devastated. i mean cmon after all that boy has been through....it will be really sad. i'll cry for serious!

[tree guardian]

Cry all night. And read the death scene till the books end again, and again, and again, and then I would have to write a letter to JKR. Such a stunt like that would compel me to contact the author.

yep.

[KatPotter]

Mmmm i would be very dissapointed... yep dissapointed, i mean gosh it understable for him to give his life for others and it would be very heroic but its tooooooooooooooo sad.

[Tylindr]

I actually don't think it's going to happen. If he dies then (if you read OotP) that would mean some really strange stuff. If he does die, though, I would be very sad.

[danwilkie]

I'll cry like a baby. For days.

But if book 7 ends:

"And Harry woke up, and it had all been a dream. He was 11 years old in his cupboard under the stairs. He felt his head with his finger and found that he never even had a scar"

If that happens I will literally hunt JK down and kill her I think.

[Benzo]

I will go to his graveyard and pray for him.

[Bee]

"And Harry woke up, and it had all been a dream. He was 11 years old in his cupboard under the stairs. He felt his head with his finger and found that he never even had a scar"

Danwilkie, you have no idea how much I think about this happening. I would send a million Howlers to JKR!!!

Anyways, if Harry died I would be horribly sad and then run around to all my friends houses and say "na-na-na-na-na-na" because I know he will die!

[snitch14]

I'd be dumbstruck and sad all day... no more HP.

But if that doesn't happen, I'd still be dumbstruck and sad all day... no more HP books...

[jmk623]

I'll be totally crushed. My favorite charachter dead?? I'll be into mourning! Every since I read the first book I was hooked to the magic wolrd and Harry. To think that it's ended.......oh~~ that's too final.... I'll go to pieces! Poor Harry......poor me.....(having to cope with a Harry-less world)

[snitch14]

even reminding myself that it's just a character in a book, it wouldn't help... it didn't with sirius..

[firebolt2000]

I would cry uncontrollably. I would be so sad, especially since he is my favorite character, and he has done so much, I just don't want him to die. If a Death Eater or Voldemort kills him, I would cry too, but I would reallly mad and do something to release the anger probably.

[Hermione Cosplayer]

I'll tell you what! I won't read the next book!

(Oh wait, that would be the last book) :)

You know, I'm not sure I want to think about that too hard.

[Harrys_Lil_Owl16]

He has had so many near misses with death =( It could be the end for Harry in Book seven but I am sure JKR wouldnt let her leading man die on us? The bain of the books!
(please say she wont! *tremmers*) I'd be in a state lol i really would. Santana would have to put up with my hugs and crying as well as my b/f Jon lol.

[snitch14]

if jk kills harry, i have a feeling that she'll be swarmed with howlers

[Amadeus]

well.... I think JK is ready to kill off anyone...

but I don't think it is likely that Hermione will die..


Ron.... there's a possibility...


I think Harry will get killed off the book...


by the book 7 comes out..


the books will be targeted for more mature readers anyway(mature than 6 or 7)...


those who are 6 or 7 would be in their pre-teen years by the time book 7 comes out(under the assumption that book 6 and 7 take 2 years each to come out).


even if Harry doesn't get killed off,


something equally dark and gloomy will happen in book 7..


if it is a happy ending book where Harry and all his friends survive to see their 130th birthday or something...



it becomes another disney story..

[snitch14]

i heard that JK said that one of the trio will not make it in the end. can anyone confirm that?

[SilverStar]

I will have a good cry if that happens.

[Rowlingfan1]

Be happy and laugh in everyone's face, "HA! I TOLD YA SO!!!"

I will do the same WHEN Hermione and Ron get together, WHEN Harry and Luna get to gether before he dies, and WHEN Ginny and Nevile hook up.

[Sparkles]

I WOULD SCREAM IF HARRY DIES!!!!!!!!!!! That's not all i'd do, i probably wouldn't see the seventh movie if they made one because it would be too painful to see him die. I would hate to see him die. I'd much rather have pleasure in seeing voldermort bleed to death!!! :clap:

[Zachary1993]

sorry , please don't hate me .... :sorry:

I was just wondring about all the talk that Harry might die in the end , so I thought about how would I take it in if it did happen , I know he's fictional ... but he is really a good fictional friend nevertheless ... :'(

so how would you react to the fact that Harry is dead , if indeed that happens .

again the question is " what if " , not " what may " .... it's a question about your feelings about Harry's death rather than the possiblity of it happening .


thanks .


P.S : if there was a similar thread , then please wipe this one off ... :cool:

I would not be too happy. He would not be an Auror but Sparkles is right he will probably die in book seven.

[Courtz]

If Harry dies at the end of book 7, there's not doubt what I'll do... I'll cry hysterically! And take a sickie! I just hope he doesnt die! *fingers crossed*

[Discordia]

If he died than me an my friends would try and resurrect him.:D

Lol. No, if he actually died than I'd probably go into morning for a few weeks and watch all the dvd's and reread the books while drowning myself in icecream.

If he did die we could all give him a funeral and bring flowers and have an after party. We could have a Deathday party!

Also I'd probably go and flame all the forums.:elaugh:

[CraZy_Kender]

If Harry died, I would drown in tears and wear black mourningclothes until Rowling says "Haha got ya, he doesn't die, it was just a joke."

PLEASE DON'T DIE HARRY! :sad:

[PhoenixFairy]

If Harry I died I would cry and suld around the house for about a week. I'd reread the series again and then when I reached the final book I would cry harder. That's what happened to me in OOTP.

[WeasleyIsOurKing]

I'd be very upset - it's kind of like a part of yourself dying, isn't it? I know that sounds incredibly corny but at least to me it would feel that way. We see into Harry's mind, think what he thinks, feels what he feels. For a fictional character he's got an excellent ability to make us feel close to him.

[hermiones_peak]

I'd be depressed and burn all my HP books outside infront of the other bonfires of harry p merchandise,books,and ect... and I would send a hoard of self exploding stinkbombs to J.K's door step in pain of that loss and then fell sorry for burning my books and not letting my kids see em' mwa haha!

[FarhanaK]

WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :upset:


Then I will hope that Daniel will not play in the movie which Harry dies because then that means that I will have to see him DIE!!!!

WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :upset:

:upset: :upset: :upset: :upset:

Calm down... :frown:

I can't handle it!

WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! :upset:

:upset: :upset: :upset: :upset:

[GryffindorSeeker]

I'd be really upset... I'd probably cry. I might forgive JKR... eventually. But I wouldn't do anything drastic like burn the books.... Then I would come on here and vent.

[playmaker9]

i'd be sad, but i wouldn't cry or anything. only one book ever made me cry - Where the Red Fern Grows. And in tribute to that i don't allow myself to cry at movies or books anymore - although it can be hard. i would probably just be like 'well that was intresting' and then turn on my tv and see if manchester united is playing or something.
cheers!

[mina]

Eh, if it happens, it happens. I don't really care about Harry enough to care that much. I have never cried while reading a book, and I doubt that Harry's death will be tragic enough to finally accomplish an emotion that strong in me to cause tears.

[Flobberworm]

I would be incredibly upset and definitely cry for days. Harry has always been my favorite character in the series and I would absolutely hate to see him die. I was very sad when Sirius died, so I can only imagine how I would feel if Harry did. :sad:

[Edward Lupin]

i will cry, maybe, feel very very very sad :upset:
but life goes on... :P (sigh)
if harry dies, that means, no more stories about potter to read. and i dont think that JK Rowling would make him die. deal?

[Thayet]

I will laugh. Cruel? Yes. What can I say, as a series goes on the hero tends to annoy me, with the exception of tamora pierce books, but buffy is a good example.. Why cant she die? Back on topic, Harrys getting annoying, so his death would be good.

[hermione_fan]

I would ball my eyes out for hours on end!

[LumosSoleil]

Me too hermione fan. :upset:

I probably won't ever recover. I wonder if the ending is really emotional in the book (of course), they'll do the same for the movie because RotK really had me choked up. Wonder who'll direct the last movie because the ending has to be sad; someone has to die, and who knows how many :sad: .

But if Harry dies, there'll be no more Harry Potter books. I really hope he doesn't. We still have to know about his life after Hogwarts. If he's studying to be an auror, then he still has 3 more years of training like McGonagall says.

[Doggy]

I'd cry. A lot. And then sulk for a week or so. I sincerly hope that the 7th book comes during some holiday, so that I don't neglect school because of it. I think it's because I've followed the series for so long (five years?), watching Harry and the rest grow up and mature and get more problems. I'm so used to him now - I can't immagine a life where I don't know who Harry Potter is. If I had picked up all seven books at once, and read them all during a couple of days or so, it wouldn't have been the same thing.

But, now... I know Harry so well..

[Vequihellin]

I'd probably sit there open-mouthed in shock for at least an hour. Then I'd put the books in a box and refuse to look at them for a month! LOL I couldn't imagine a life where Harry is dead either! *sobs*

But, now... I know Harry so well..
I know!!! So do I!!!! Argh!

[GryffindorGr]

As with what Thayet says, he's becoming a bit annoying because of his lack of ability to see things clearly. He's angsty and depressive and self centered, YET I still like him. Because he is trying to do what's right and what's good but I dont want him to do it for the sake of becoming so self righteous that he loses perspective. What good would that do and make him no better than Voldemort?
I hope he doesn't die and he does suffer though, because without suffering, how would he learn anything substantial? But I do want a happy ending for Harry.
I would feel sort of pained and highly annoyed that he had died, as with certain characters in the book if they died.

[Lady Melanie]

If Harry died I would definately cry but i think that he is going to die in the seventh book because there is no way he could live and JKR not write more books about him. Last I heard she said that she was just doing the seven books so i think that Harry is going to die and everyone is going to cry when it happens

[FoxX Onward]

even though im a guy id shed a few tears, more than i did for siruis

[Ultraviolet]

I cry if Harry died. I cried when Sirius Black died so if Harry goes it will be a sad read indeed.

[tigerlily17]

I would pretty much feel the same way that I felt about Frodo leaving everyone. I would feel very sad and shocked but I would also know that he would get to see his parents and Sirius again. If he dies, he can at least die a hero.......although that would be so sad! :upset:

[SiriusPig]

I will be so sad beyond belief that I will be in shock for about a week. But I pretty much know that he is not going to die.

[~oSiRiS~]

I would be happy. It make for a great ending. Also if he lives then there would be a possiblity that more books "could" be made after the end.

[HarryPotter]

I'd feel sad... and incomplete º_º"

[sawyer]

I think that Harry's death would be a wonderful ending: no much more hollywood with good guys that defeat evil! :tu:
However if Harry died it wouldn't be Voldemort win.

[gottaloveLupin]

I will cry for some hours.
And feel depresses for at least one week.
And really angry with JKr.
I will really hate her for this.
I will put away the books and never read them again and never want to hear about them again.
And probably I will not go the movies either.

Yes, i know, I am too pasionate. But I really love Harry, fictional or not.

[UselessCharmMaster]

Nothing. I will close the book,because I suppose it will be at the very end of it.

[FloydTheBarber]

Nothing.

[Frankie Inkblot]

Raise a glass for the fictional Harry Potter.

Realistically, as it started as a children's sort of book, JKR knows that by killing Harry, she's sort of telling people that evil can triumph over good. Is that a good lesson for kids? Not really.

She won't kill him off, but if she does, I will be quite satisfied regardless.

[doadpadfoot]

i will cry hard and long, but not as hard and long as i did for sirius. sorry :sad:

[Xylia]

I wouldn't mind if harry died. He gets on my nerves sometimes. :shrug:

[koli]

i'll be glad b/c that's the way i want the book to end. perhaps him revealing whats behind the veil (b/c he is dead yadi yadi ya)

[S1R1US BLACK]

Unless J.K. does a suprise 8th book for life after Hogwarts, then I wouldn't care if Harry died.

[Arminius]

I'll dance on Harry Potter's grave.

Seriously folks, hopefully people will end their obsession with Harry Potter (this isnt aimed at one person, I swear ;)) and the actors who play the characters. I think the biggest mistake was making the book a movie so soon after its writing. That shows more marketing and greed than skill, unless of course your a die hard capitalist then it is skill, lol.

Hopefully people will find their own nitch and not mainstram male bovine fecal matter. I love Norse/Germanic/Celtic mythology and history. I also took classes on Mythology, and the Harry Potter books make me sick, the whole story is ripped from others.

[Badger]

It depends on the circumstances of his death, really. Right now I'm not at terms with Harry unless I'm in a very bad mood, because he's so incredibly angsty throughout OotP it just makes me want to bap him upside the head and tell him to pull it together.

It would make for a good ending, I think. But it's kind of what everybody is expecting from JKR. I think she should pull out something totally surprising to cap off the series.

[fiorenza]

I would cry for seven days, in remembrance of each of the beautiful years of Harry's life at Hogwarts....... ;p

[Godrics_Heiress]

I'd be disappointed and probably won't read the books again. I don't want him to die. :(

[Calen]

Maybe if he did die, JK could do it in a good way.
Have him reunited with his parents and Sirius.
That wouldn't be so bad. He stops Voldylocks and
dies coughing up blood but with a smile on his face,
cause he finally meets his parents. Bittersweet ending.

Or he could ascend! LIke to a higher plain of existence! And float around causing storms and stuff! Like in Stargate! :-D

I'd be incredibly distraught. :upset:

[OrlisGrape]

I would break down and bawl my eyes out. And then if I read the other books afetr that again, it wouldn't be the same, knowing that he died!! It's bad enough Sirius died! (I cried) But Harry? I wouldn't be able to handle it!

[Polychrome]

I don't know. I don't think it's too far-fetched for him to die. Jesus is the central character in the New Testament, and he dies. It wouldn't be until the very, very end of course that Harry dies.

Don't mistake this for me thinking that there's no way Harry will survive. Both are equally possible.



Actually, you are partially right. There seems to be some kind of connection in which Dumbledore, Harry, and Fawkes represent the trinity.

What people are forgetting here is that :

A: Jesus was ressurected.

B: There is a VERY strong connection between Harry and the Phoenix.

C: Harry is constantly surrounded by symbols of life, old age, etc.

The way I see it, Harry will likely end up clinically dead, and be revived somehow. I dunno if wizards use CPR. Heh.

Also, JKR has been taking his possible death in a very teasing way. Think about it for a sec. Maybe he'll die, but nobody ever said WHEN. Everybody dies and we have eternity to be dead. Possibly there will be some sort of flash forward where the characters are all old and dying of old age. *shrug*

id feel sad and proabably cry. Id feel sad for all the people if Voldy leaved casue only Harry could kill him and now he is dead. Id feel gald for the people if voldy died though

Be a bit upset, but I seriously doubt that he would die. A someone said, it would just show that bad can overcome good. I do not think this is the message she wants to give. But in light of the question, I definately would be crushed if that was his fate.

I'd first be crying, then I'd get angry and write to J.K. Rowling why she did that, then I'd be like "I'm never touching those books again", and finally read the first six for old times sake.

People, if you want Harry to die, then what are you doing at this forum? :upset:

It's very likely that I will cry.

[jerb]

I would cry. But there is still this little part of me that hopes he dies, just so he would have some peace.

:upset:

I wouldn't mind if harry died. He gets on my nerves sometimes. :shrug:


you know, that is so true! :agree: like in the 5th book, i just couldn't stand him because of all the mood swings he had, not to mention his bad temper. i hope this isn't a preview of what is yet to come. :scared:
