At a recent family even a cousin and I got into an argument. Will Harry die in the 7th book? We both agreed on the fact that Severus Snape is good, and that RAB is Regulus A. Black, but we couldn't agree on who would die.
I say that Harry, Voldemort, and Hagrid will die, but she says that either Ron or Hermione, and Voldemort will die but not Harry. What do you think?

it's been established, that Voldemort and Harry are interconnected, one cannot exist without the other. That pretty much says all that needs to be said.

I think it may be Harry and Voldemort cuz of the whole connection they have.. the only other way I will appreciate another death is if it's Snape, defending Harry at the last moment and Voldemort ... or if it's Voldemort and Malfoy ... I would not be happy if they killed off Ron, Hermoine or Hagrid.. that would be VERY wrong, just like the death of Sirius ...

I don't think that Harry will die in book 7. I believe that Snape is good, that RAB is Regulas, and that Harry will kill Voldemort but not before Voldie and his crew kill Hagrid, Percy Weasley, and possibly Neville. I think that Harry, Ron, and Hermione will all live, but will have various injuries from their battle against evil.

I've read so many rumors and so many theories and opinions concerning this matter, and it's all really confusing at this point.
I am inclined to think that Harry is going to survive. Before you start getting angry and contradicting me, let me say there are several strong factors that determine me to cling to this opinion. One of this factors is the fact that JKR hates being easy to read. Harry Potter fans probably know how much JKR despises being predictable, therefore if most rumors and opinions support the theory that Harry is going to die, then you can be sure he will survive. You could contradict me with the theory that JKR wouldn't care about the public opinion and wouldn't try to change the plot just because we have already discovered her intentions and have examined the hints she left behind so closely that we were able to figure out how the story will progress. But just think about it. If you were a writer and if the hints you intentionally left between the lines would be so easy to analyze that your readers would already know what the next book you're writing would consist of, how would you feel? Wouldn't it be like the book has already been read although it hasn't even been published yet? Yes. This is reason is strong enough to determine JKR to distort the plot so we could be proven wrong. Like I said, if most opinions side with the theory that Harry is surely going to die, you can be sure he won't.
Another strong factor that influences my opinion is the story's pattern. This story is based on the theory of evolution. If you examine the story and the books progress closely, you will notice that it all works according to the standards of evolution. And if you analyze JKR's personality and writing style, you will see that it makes no sense for Harry to die.
Most people think Harry is going to die because they are afraid of it, they don't want it to happen, so it's only logical that if they are faced with the possibility of it actually happening, their first reaction is to say 'Oh, no, it will happen for sure!' This general opinion that his death is imminent doesn't come from any reasonable proof, it only comes from fear. So there's no reason to form your opinions according to it.
In a way, it would be understandable if he died though. Harry is the main character, the hero, the martyr. He's the one that the whole war is based on and the one that the whole wizarding world looks up to, so it would be logical and it would add a much more dramatic tone to the whole story if he would be the sacrifice, if he would die for the safety and happiness of the wizarding and muggle worlds. It's only logical that if Harry was the one who started the war he should also be the one who ends it. The idea that his death would represent the last say in the war and it would twist the evolution of the wizarding and muggle lives is appealing to people.
But just think about it. In every book, Harry had to go through a lot, he had to go through a series of tasks and challenges. Throughout the books, the challenges and experiences he has been forced to live have formed him and determined him to progress, to evolve. He's a character that suffered a lot, but not without a purpose. Every book and every year he spent at Hogwarts basically represented another challenge, another task. He successfully completed all these tasks, managing to fulfill the progress JKR wanted for him. Reading the books and watching him evolve is like watching a man climb the stairs. Each step was a test for him. Therefore it would only make sense that this man that is trying to reach the top of the stairs, wants to reach it for a reason. And it wouldn't be logical at all if once he reaches it, he suddenly falls off... would it? No, he goes there with a purpose. The last book is the final task. He doesn't have to sacrifice himself to complete it. On the contrary, he has gone through so much already that his destination has to be happiness.

Hagrid is definitely dying I think. Besides him I'd say that one of the two couples as they stand now have to go. It's either one from Ron/Hermione or one from Harry/Ginny. If not one of them then a whole couple. I don't think she'll kill one of each because then it would be a very sad ending indeed. If she doesn't kill of one of the main couples well I guess she will kill many smaller characters. Neville for one, and then the twins or a Weasley family member besides Mr.Weasley who has already been injured once.

I think it'll be Harry, and only because JK Rowling will not want other people to make cheap knock-off follow up wanna-be books out of her main character after her death.
