Yahoo! Update from JK Rowling:
If you have read all the books then please remember in the goblet of fire Dumbledore said that no spell can rise people from the dead. If Harry dies then Harry dies. I will not tell you what will happen in my next book by the way.
Joanne Kathleene Rowling.

Yahoo! Answers Update from JK Rowling:
Well if you don't like it because Dumbledore died then there's a site called, erm, ... http://www.dumbledoreisnotdead.com. But don't think it will happen because he's not going to do a Gandalf, is he?

Answer 1

Yes, I think J.K will kill him off so that no one else can keep writing Potter sequels after she quits. It would be sad, but it would be the smart thing for her to do. DO I want to see him killed off? No, but I do see why she may do it and I would not hold it against her. It is her story and she can tell it anyway she wants!

Answer 2

I think this question is prime BS - I don't think this is the real JK Rowling at all, for the following reasons:
JK Rowling is a writer, and the phrase 'If you have read all the books then please remember in the goblet of fire Dumbledore said that no spell can rise people from the dead' needs to be looked at.

Would any writer use lower case when referring to one of their creations? Also, 'Dumbledore said that no spell can rise people from the dead'. Rise? Surely the correct word is 'raise' - I'm sure JK Rowling is too good a writer to make mistakes like that.

Now...that 'K' - JK Rowling's real name is Joanne Rowling - the K was added for publishing purposes, and I've only seen 'Kathleen' printed once or twice, but never 'Kathleene'.

I could be wrong (it has happened once or twice), but I don't think this is genuine.

Answer 3

Seeing that you are supposed to be the real J.K Rowling I have a few thoughts/theories on your next book.

Firstly is Harry a horcrux being you said that harry was a parselmouth because voldermort was. Harry's asked dumbledore if 'he put a bit of himself into me' to which dumbledore replied 'yes'.

Secondly is R.A.B (The name on the letter where the locket Horcrux should have been) Regalius Black, Sirius' brother, because if I remember rightly there was a locket in 12 Grimmauld place which no one could open and it had a snake on it, which as you obviously know is Slytherin's family crest. The letter also said 'o the Dark Lord' which is only ever said by Death Eaters and Voldermort killed Regalius for trying to back out fo the Death Eaters.

Thirdly Is Harry Potter, Godric Gryffindor's decendant, as his parents lived in 'Godric's hollow', and the fact that Dumbledore told Harry in your second book that only a true Gryffindor could have pulled the sword out the hat when he was facing Tom Riddle in the Chamber of secrets. It would seem ironic as both Slytherin and Gryffindor were the best in their time and matched in power. So maybe it is true of Harry and Voldermort. Which would explain whyv their magical core in their wands were identical.

Fourthly why did you have to make Snape an actual good guy. Why did he kill Dumbeldore on Dumbeldore's orders. This is what I think they were arguing over in the woods when Hagrid heard them. Wouldn't it be better if Snape had died because of the unbreakable vow and let Dumbeldore live.

Answer 4

Certainly not!!! Sirius and Dumbledore have already died, poor Harry is all alone out there, he's already suffered so much, it woudn't be fair. He's your "son", you've got to be nice to him. Harry can become the new Hogwarts Headmaster, or head of the Auror Headqarters, or an international Quidditch player, and so we can all imagine his life after school. It would be cool if neither Harry nor Voldemort died, and the whole series ended with Voldemort becoming a muggle or something terrible happened to him to prove Dumbledore was right when he told him that there were worst fates than death.
If Snape really killed Dumbledore (like I think he did), he ought to die in revenge.

Answer 5

I certainly hope not! If he dies and Dumbledore is dead too, there will be no great wizards left in the story. If the seventh book is the last book, Voldemort and Harry will no doubt have to confront each other for the last battle between good and evil and that would involve at least one of them dying; otherwise nothing will be resolved. I hope the ending is a happy one, as essentially, the power of love Harry has should conquor the evil in Voldemort.

Answer 6

I don't like what JK Rowling(I mean you) is trying to do with the books, it's as if the original flair that got the series started has gone missing and readers just buy the book for the sake of getting it and reading what has already been branded as acclaimed, instead of deciding themselves. It does great for the marketing and sale though I bet.
The sixth book sort of disappointed me though it was a great read on its own. The demise of the series began with book five, which was a similar case for me as with the sixth. I really liked books 3 and 4 and Miss Rowling will have to pull off something short of a miracle to put some faith in me about the series in book 7. To answer your question though I reckon Harry won't die-die(as in die and stay dead sort of thing), he's lost a lot but he isn't getting away from it that easy. (Voldemort will probably die too and the last thing we need is another prophecy in the afterlife to which both Harry and Voldemort will go- "Not AGAIN!" in an eerie unison)

Answer 7

I don't think that Harry will be killed off. Adding death to books shouldn't be the only way that the books appeal to older people. Harry has become someone for kids to look up to and he can't die. Harry stands for hope through all adversity. There are other ways to end a series other than killing off people, by Voldermort being defeated Harry can finally live his life and carry on. I'm an optimist and Ron or Hermoine dying either just doesn't seem right.

Answer 8

Hi, I really hope you don't kill Harry off because I've become kind of attached to him over the last few years, but if you feel the need to kill him off I'll get used to it once I stop grieving.
There is so much potential for Harry as an adult even just for a one off book to let us see how he would be as a fully fedged wizard and so we can see if Ron gets it together with Hermoine.
Any how what ever you do it will be a great talking point until we find out. Just like Dumbledore's death (although I don't think He is). Thanks for so much enjoyment so far!!!

Answer 9

I hope not. I think that children need a hero and need to believe that good triumphs over evil in the end. I know its not real but I remember when I was a child, if someone died in a book, I would be so upset. And as this series of books has gone on for quite a while now, children have invested a lot of time in Harry and his friends and probably feel like they know them. So I'd definitely like to see a happy ending.

I'm 34 (a big child) and have read all the books and I think I'd be upset if he died.

Answer 10

If you kill Harry off it will be the most boring ending of all time. (then Harry died...the end.) Personally, I think he won't although that's pretty cruel because so many of his loved one have died already. What we think you're probably going to do is: bring Dumbledore back, kill off almost all the main characters (in a giant battle), either Dudley or Malfoy are going to die or turn into something horrible for life, Harry and Voldemort face off in a one-on-one fight (someone will risk thier lives to help/save Harry in this battle and will be killed so Harry who has been losing thus far will with all his anger and grief beat Voldemort forever!!!). Whatever you do write it quick before Daniel Radcliff grows too old and Malfoy dies of old age!!!

Answer 11

Harry Potter will be dying in the final book. He is now too old to continue at school and so therefore has run his course as the present Harry Potter. But he lives in a magical world so remember that doesnt mean it has to be the end. Anything can happen in the world of magic!
