J.K Rowling announced that at least two characters will to die in the seventh book. Who do you think will?

Answer 1

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? (JKR said in a very recent interview that she gave a certain character a reprieve from dying) I have an inkling that it is one of the Dursleys.... or Snape.

Answer 2

I think Voldemort absolutely has to die. If he doesn't, then the books would have to continue, right? I'm not sure who else would end up dying. Perhaps one of the Weasleys? I'm pretty sure that Harry won't die, though. If he did, wouldn't that be sending out the message that good does not prevail over evil? I don't think J.K. would do that.

Answer 3

I really doubt that Harry will die. If he is killed, I think future readers won't pick up the series knowing the end already. That's the main reason I thiink that.
Perhaps one of the Weasely's, possibly Ron, and surely Voldemort will go.

Answer 4

I think Harry will die....that way he can re-join his parents. As a twist on the story (one of my friends and I were discussing this in great detail), we think that although Malfoy is Harry's enemy, he may die trying to save Harry or something. But then again, it makes sense if Voldemort/Harry die in a battle.....who knows! We'll have to wait and see! :)

Answer 5

I would guess, off the top of my head, Harry and Voldemort die battling each other. Or maybe Ron or Hermione will. We'll see.

Answer 6

Why don't you check out Mugglenet or the Leaky Cauldron. They are the two best Harry Potter websites.

Answer 7

Harry Potter has to be one of them. After all that has happened to him, in the end he must succeed, yet be the tragic hero and die doing it.

Answer 8

"Everyone" is not tired of this question! Isn't it okay to want to know what people think? I think Harry Potter and Voldemort will die (I don't want Harry to die).

Answer 9

Potter is one of them. Which makes sense! That little anorexic kid has squeezed out of crazy situations without a scratch.
Quite annoying if you ask me.

Answer 10

Snape and Hagrid
