Children and adults are expected to rush and buy the final Harry Potter novel in their tens of millions when it is complete, and if the publication of the sixth book is anything to go by, secrecy surrounding the plot will be tight.
Rowling has already said that the final chapter of the seventh book was written long ago.
"The final chapter is hidden away, although it's now changed very slightly," she said in an interview broadcast on Monday on Britain's Channel 4. "One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die."
When asked to be more specific, she added: "No, I'm not going to commit myself, because I don't want the hate mail or anything else."
She did explain that she understood an author's desire to kill off the main character of a successful series.
"I've never been tempted to kill him (Harry) off before the end of book seven, because I always planned seven books and that's where I want to go.
"I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks 'Well, I'm going to kill them off because that means there can be no non-author-written sequels ... so it will end with me, and after I'm dead and gone they won't be able to bring back the character'."
Rowling, 40, wrote the first Harry Potter adventure when she was an unemployed single mother, but has gone on to become one of the richest authors in history with a personal fortune estimated at more than $1 billion.
The Harry Potter series has sold an estimated 300 million copies worldwide.

I don't know, nobody really knows except Rowling at this point. One of them is definitely going to be Voldemort or Harry, I'm hoping it's Voldemort. The other is probably going to be somebody close to Harry, to make him even more angry at Voldemort for the final battle. Or it might be Snape, but I don't know if J.K. is going to throw in some plot twist. I don't know, I guess we will just have to wait ! :)
Actually, I think Neville might die.
I don't know!! But its bothering me!!

I think that she set us up in the last book and the fact that Voldemort now has some of Harry's blood in him and they are connected in that way ....she will make it so the only way for Harry to finally get rid of Voldermort is for both of them to die! Somehow Harry will feel responsible for one of his friends dying because of his connection to Voldermort (Voldermort will most likely have figured out a way to use his mental connection with him and start killing people close to Harry.) So Harry being the noble, unselfish hero will sacrafice himself for the greater good, and design a plan where he tricks Voldermort into thinking he has finally won and by him killing Harry it actually will kill them both at the same time! How's that?

I think that wormtail will die first, and then Lupin, and I think the ppl unintended to die will be Luna and ron, Have you noticed that the marauders have been killed off in reverse order. First Prongs died, then padfoot, next is wormtail I'm sure of it an then Lupin wil die. I think that Luna liked Ron from the begining and that she will die trying to save him but they will both die instead.

I think Voldemort will die, and sadly, probably Harry...that way she'll never be pressured to write anymore books on him, and no one else can write stories about him either. I hope I'm wrong though, I'm still in denial that Dumbledore was actually killed in the last one...Snape may die too though, I dunno...

ron for sure i think but idk about the other one...like i might say lupin or something but hes not really a "main" character...it sounded that the only main people would be harry, hermione and ron which means it must be hermione and ron that die...but that doesnt really make sense to me...i def think voldemort will die...and prolly draco malfoy...maybe snape...but i really dont know at all...good question

Even Daniel Radcliffe feels his character should be "offed" as he called it.
I don't know...I kind of feel like Ron and Neville will die, or Ron and Hagrid.
