What do you beleive will happen in the final Harry Potter book?

Question

Will Snape turn out to be a good guy?...Will Voldemort die?...Will Harry die?..Will Hogwarts be closed forever?..Give your account of what you think will happen in the final book.

Answer 1

hmm.. I've been thinking about this since Prince was released. To be realistic, I don't think that the "fairy tale" ending is actually going to happen.

From my current standpoint until we're given more information by JKR:

I believe that Snape is a bad guy. And a very very bad guy at that. I've never... EVER trusted or liked Snape from the very moment I picked up Sorcerer's Stone. Of course, Jo likes to throw us off so you never know.

Voldemort has to die. That one I can pretty much say with utter confidence. I believe that good will triumph in the end but possibly with the largest price of all, Harry's death. We already know that he's not a Horocrux. JK said it herself on her official website so I wish that theory would die off. Dumbledore's words in both Phoenix and Prince lead me to believe that Harry probably isn't going to make it. I have a horrid gut feeling that he'll have to sacrifice himself in order to take out Voldy.

I don't think Hogwarts will be closed forever, just until the danger has passed.

I would LOVE for everyone to have the perfect ending, Ginny and Harry reuniting, Ron and Hermione getting married, all the Weasley's making it out alive, praying that she doesn't kill off another beloved.

We know two big character deaths are going to happen in book Seven. We just aren't sure who. Let's hope it's someone we can all live without.

Answer 2

I think harry will have to die in order to kill Voldemort. I really find it a sad turn of events but I think it inevitable.

I also think that Ginny/ Harry's as well as Ron/Hermione's relationships will get alot stronger. Possibly one of the couples will get married, or both if they live-- in the Epilogue.

But hogwarts will go on. There is no way the series would end with it closing... that would be more depressing than Harry's Death. It would be like the death of the magic world.

Answer 3

I cant wait til it comes out! I love snape-he's my favourite character both in the books and the movies. I'm so convinced he'll help save the day in the end, maybe he'll like die saving harry's life or something. I want harry, ron and hermione to kill voldemort together and then at the end of the book there'll be like 'ten years later' and ron and hermione will have married and she'll be headmaster of hogwart's and harry will still be alive and kicking and hanging out with his best friends :D

Answer 4

It's hard to say. What we do know is that we'll find out something big about the Potters, Dumbledore's past, and Aunt Petunia. We will find out about Snape (personally, I think he's bad, but it's hard to say). We'll see Krum and Umbridge again, and I bet we'll see Dumbledore's brother (who, by the way, is the barkeep at the Hogs Head in Hogsmede) again. Somebody will die, and hopefully it will be Voldemort, but I presume that somebody we like will die too (I'm kind of afraid it might be Hagrid). And umm...personally, I don't think Hogwarts will close, but I also don't think Harry will go back as he'll be too busy looking for Horcruxes, going back through his past (we know that he'll visit Godric's Hollow) and yeah...there ya have it.

Answer 5

I think that in the final book everything will turn out ok. I don't think Dumbledore really died, so I think he will return. I think Harry and the gang will hunt down the rest of the horcruxes and destroy them, thus being able to kill Voldemort. I think Neville and Luna will die, but I think that Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Ron will all live. Hogwarts will stay open.

Answer 6

I like morrigin's theory that Snape will save Harry, I think that will prove that Dumbledore was right to trust him all along. I seriously don't think Harry will die, because good has to triumph over evil. Voldemort will definitely die as will Peter Pettigrew. Although Dumbldore is dead, I think McGonagal will let Harry come into the Headmasters office to talk to his portrait and I think he will be able to contact Sirius somehow. I don't think Harry, Ron, Hermione or Ginny will die, but I wouldn't be surprised if Neville or Luna die defending Harry.

Harry Potter Book 7 ...
Where Do We Go from Here
Harry Potter

...does this spell
the end of Harry?

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in book 6 finally tied together quite a few plot strands from the first five Harry Potter books.

JK Rowling has made it clear that the 7th book in the series will be the final adventure for Harry and the Hogwarts crew, and that the book will bring more deaths. She has also said that we will learn more about Harry's parent's, James and Lily. We know there will be a wedding, although we do hope that it doesn't turn out as bad as the World Cup of Quidditch!

The final chapter in the adventures of the boy wizard is written. JKR told interviewers at the end of June, 2006, "The last book is not finished. But I'm well into it now. I wrote the final chapter in something like 1990, so I've known exactly how the series is going to end."

While fans still have a long wait before the book is released, there are more than a few hints and rumors about what the future holds for Harry.

In an interview broadcast in June 2006 on Britain's Channel 4, Rowling said that two characters had been killed off in the last book, "One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die."

She added, "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'."

Jo commented in another interview when asked if book seven would be shorter than book five, "No, I think that [book seven] will be long because I won't want to let go. I'll just keep writing...I dread leaving Harry... "

Which really makes it seem that Harry does survive book seven...or maybe not...

Can it really be true that the world will have to wait until 2007 before finding out how this all turns out?

There is a rumor about the release date of 07/07/07 for book 7 going around that sounds very well thought out. The speculation is that it would be the perfect for date for the last Harry Potter book to hit the bookstores. It may not be true as there has not been any official word, but it sounds very convincing!

For now, the book's secrets are still safe in the author's imagination, where they belong. Still, fans can't help but start to speculate on what the next book will reveal.

There is a list of rumors on JK Rowling's site that you may want to check. She's added a bit about Book 7 to the welcome page as well. "For 2006 will be the year when I write the final book in the Harry Potter series. I contemplate the task with mingled feelings of excitement and dread, because I can't wait to get started, to tell the final part of the story and, at last, to answer all the questions (will I ever answer all of the questions? Let's aim for most of the questions); and yet it will all be over at last and I can't quite imagine life without Harry."

At an appearance in New York in August, 2006 Jo added some more hints...

* Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, who was murdered in Half-Blood Prince, has an important role in the final book - even though he is dead...
* Severus Snape (played by Alan Rickman in the Harry Potter films) is actually a good character.
* Harry's aunt, Petunia Dursley, will have a very important part in the final book.
* Not said at the reading, but strongly implied... Harry, Ron and Hermione will survive book seven.
* Rowling is still thinking up the title for the final book.
* Stephen King, reading from his work at the same New York benefit, asked whether Harry Potter’s rival Draco Malfoy would be redeemed. Rawling answered that all her charactersexcept Lord Voldemort, “appear redeemable” and that Harry firmly believed that Draco Malfoy was not evil.
* JKR added that book seven will explain the deep connection between a wizard and his wand.

The is a rumor that Harry may die in book 7...An article in the UK's Mirror reveals, "Actor Jim Dale - the voice of the teenage wizard in the US audio books - believes the seventh and final installment will spell the end for Harry." Yet Jo seemed to nix that idea when answering questions in New York.

Some fans are brave enough to create fan fiction that builds the next stage of the story.

Others just wonder out loud...

How will the struggle between Harry and Voldemort end?

What will happen next leading up to the final confrontation?

Unlike Snape, we're not able to look into the mind of JK Rowling to know what she has planned for Harry. What you'll find here are the results of our sometimes overactive imaginations.

Your guesses are as good as — and in many cases better than ours — but half of the fun of being a Harry Potter fan is weaving your own fantasies.

That being understood, for better or worse, here are our thoughts on what book 7 will reveal :

* Dumbledore is not out of the picture (or should we say he is in the picture?) All of the prior headmasters of Hogwarts live on in their portraits. Dumbledore will be around in book seven to guide and advise Harry. We believe that Snape and Dumbledore planned the death scene in book six to make Voldemort think that the only wizard more powerful had been eliminated. Snape did what needed to be done at Dumbledore's command.

Which means that the Half-Blood Prince will turn out to be a good guy!

* The forces of evil are strong and growing stronger. There will be many battles and adventures as Harry searches for the pieces of Voldemort's soul that are hidden throughout the world. He will find and destroy all but one of them. The last piece will be saved for the big finale...

* The speculation on many sites is that the big death in book seven will be Harry himself. We think this is almost true...in a way.

It has been foretold that Harry will have the power to destroy Voldemort :

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches, born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies, and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not, and either must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives"

Hermione

Will Hermione's love
save the day?
If Voldemort is defeated, it will have to happen in Book 7.

* We now know that Harry and the dark wizard can look into each others' thoughts. Dumbledore speculated that part of Lord Voldemort's powers were passed to Harry during the attack giving him the ability to speak to snakes and increasing his natural powers.

The death curse that killed his parents did not kill Harry, but left him with a scar that aches when Voldemort is close by. The speculation has always been Harry's mother, Lily, blocked the death curse. Her sacrifice was motivated by the oldest magic, pure love for her son. How angry and jealous would that have made Tom Riddle, who had never experienced love from his mother or anyone else? What could be the most horrible revenge he could inflict on the boy wizard?

* Could it be that Voldemort used Harry to store one piece of his soul? This would mean that even if Harry did destroy him, he would still have a life as long as Harry existed.

What better ending than to have Harry, who is pure goodness and Voldemort who is the embodiment of evil meet in a struggle within Harry's mind. Both personalities would be destroyed in the battle with the surviving Harry Potter/Voldemort persona becoming the union of good and evil.

This is basically the solution that Neo and the agent Smith found in the Matrix movies. Pure good and pure evil join into one powerful balanced personality...yin and yang.

Neither can be whole without the other. The merged Harry would take a new name to indicate that he is a balanced blend of good and evil. This new person would be as moral as any other normal wizard.

* We suspect that Hermione will have a hand in keeping Harry alive. Love saved him in the beginning and will push the balance in Harry's favor in the final meeting with Voldemort. The merged Harry could go on to marry Hermione and become the new Headmaster at Hogwarts.

Since he would be both Harry and Voldemort, Harry would be in command of the deatheaters and all of the evil forces.

How sweet would it be to have Malfoy actually taking orders from Harry Potter who is now merged with the soul of Voldemort?

We all have to wait for the answers -- when book 7 of the Harry Potter series is released -- to see where we go from here.
