"A price has to be paid, we are dealing with pure evil here. They don't target extras, do they? They go for the main characters -- well, I do."

The author said she did not want to commit herself either way on Potter's fate, telling interviewers Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan: "I don't want the hate mail, apart from anything else."

It's hard to say but my guess would be that Harry & Voldemort will kill eachother. BY killing off Harry JK Rowling can be sure that no one can write about him in the future. What do u think???

As much as I don't like it, I think it is totally possible that J.K. Rowling might kill off Harry. If you remember the article, she said that there is a good side to killing off your main character. When she is dead and gone, no one will be able to come back and write Harry because he already died; it would be satisfactory to know that no one will come back and take over you masterpiece.
Here is a list of people besides Harry that I think might perish.
Ron: Besides being Harry's best mate, we haven't really seen him prove himself in times of danger and battle. He showed his strengths back in Book 1 when during the giant chess match during the hunt for the Philosopher's Stone. There is a theory that Ron will sacrifice himself for Harry in the final match against Voldemort.
Pettigrew: Do I have to explain it? Let's see... He betrayed the Potters, he helped Voldemort get his body back, and is an all-around bad guy. I think it's time to go, and that the life-debt that he has to Harry will be involved somehow.
Draco: I think that apart from being "bad", Draco is really a tragic character. His family are Death Eaters. He's got a lot to live up to. I got the kind of feeling that he was forced in the Book 6 to serve Voldemort. All the stress he underwent, the frustration, the anxiety... I mean, the poor boy was misguided. Remember that he is only about 17. People can make horrible mistakes when they are at that age. Unfortunately in Draco's case, it might cost him his life. He's in too deep.
Professor Trelawney: I think there is a possibility of her death in Book 7. She's always predicting how people will die, and seeing strange, dark omens everywhere. I think that is a kind of subtle foreshadowing. She sees death everywhere, why can't it be hers? I just wonder how this would play out, and how important it would be to the actual plot.
Percy: Hmm... Anyone sure which side he is really on?
Who will get a reprieve? I have an inkling that it is one of the Dursleys.... or Snape

Voldemort pretty much has to die. You can't let someone who his that evil live. However, I also think that Harry himself is going to end up buying it in the 7th and "final" book. The famous author has said that she didn't want anyone to "add on" to life after Hogwarts. She has also stated that she only wants to write 7 books. For both of those reasons I believe that she will have to bump off Harry. I think it's interesting though. If she does kill off Harry to stop it at 7 books, ensuring that she will not have to write another and stop any "add ons", it will only serve to piss off so many people from around the planet. If she ever wanted hate mail to rival George Bush and Kim Jon IL or however it is spelled then killing the boy wizard is a pretty good way of making sure that happens.

They're saying Harry Potter is. The author said that she didn't want anyone to write more Harry Potter books after the 7th one.

Hagrid, Arthur Weasley, Voldemort, McGonagall, and Peter Pettigrew. Snape might sacrifice himself.
The trio will live.

On Mugglenet.com, I heard that J.K. Rowling is planning to kill off two characters. I think that Voldemore is going to get killed and he is going to take Harry with him.

I honestly think Harry will :-(. As sad as that will be. but it even says in the earlier books that Voldemort and Harry pretty much will be the end of each others lives.

I don't want to believe Harry will be killed off. So I'm going to say Dumbledore and Voldemort.
