Well if THAT is her only reason for killing Harry off, it is a stupid one! I mean, if someone wants to pilfer, they will pilfer no matter how Rowling kills Harry off. Mind you, this is a magical world and whatever it is that would kill Harry could have a "magical" explination to bring him back to life later on if someone REALLY wanted to re-awken dead Harry. All they would need is a little imagination and "abracadabra", Harry is alive again, ya know?
So all I'm saying is she'd better have a damm better reason if she does end up killing Harry b/c of that. (Plus, she'll most likely be dead or close to it by the time someone can pilfer...its 50 years, right?)

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.

Harry Potter doesn't have to die, that's just one of the MILLIONS of theories floating around about what the prophecy that you'll hear in the fifth movie means. JK has threatened to kill "the whole lot of them" in a few interviews. Sometimes I think it was stress and other times it was to save them from being rewritten or furthered by another author without her permission (she's not against fan fiction, she was referring to others making money from her idea). Other characters set to die are: Sirius Black (happens in the fifth book, hated it, but happens) and Dumbledore (Yes, I know, but he dies in the sixth book). There might be other minor characters that bite the dust, but these are the major ones that go.

For the hundredth time, yes, Harry is going to die because and ONLY because the author is a greedy (fill in the blank with whatever you want) that doesn't want her story pilfered by someone else later on down the line. I don't think it will be Hagrid, because I read somewhere that the guy who plays Hagrid in the movies refused to play him if he was going to die off. I think the dead characters will be Harry, Voldemort and maybe Snape. Or Kreacher.

I don't believe Harry will be dying, because this is a book in which goodness always prevails.
And, love, read the books. They are so much better then the movies.

I hope she doesnt kill him off. Hes a strong character and has been. I hope she makes Harry potter series last a little longer. Not ready to see Potter go yet.

I think that if they don't kill off Harry, they will Hermione and/or Ron. But if they do kill Harry than it will be him, Voldemort, and Hermoine. (Ron's too scared to die). But that's just my opinion.

My wife and I don't think so. Why don't you like to read books? Give these ones a try. Also, I've listened to one on cassette. It was fun.
