Now that J. K Rowling has announced the name of book #7 ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows")...?

Question

...is there anybody who still thinks that HP will survive the series? Why or why not?

I don't think he will, and haven't thought so since I finished reading book #6. I'm pretty convinced that one of the horcruxes is within Harry and he will have to die himself to destroy Voldemort.

Answer 1

my theory is the same as yours. he will have to kill himself to kill you-know-who

Answer 2

I partially agree with you, but I don't think she'll actually kill Harry off. I definitely think that one of the horcruxes is Harry's scar. It would be the obvious thing to kill Harry off, as so many people began to suspect it after the 6th book. Not to mention that the possibility for occassional sequels is an option.

What I can't remember is if all the horcruxes need to be destroyed for Voldemort to be completely killed off? What if the only horcrux that survives is the one within Harry, but all the others are destroyed? Can Voldemort return then?

Someone will have to die as that's been the big build-up. I personally think it's going to be Ron in an attempt to save or help Harry.

Answer 3

I am at a complete loss as to whether or not Harry survives. Rowling gets most of her inspiration from mythology, and I just don't know enough about it to be able to predict accurately his fate. I seriously doubt, however, that a horcrux is within Harry. The spell to create a horcrux is supposed to be immensely complex and therefore I doubt that Voldemort would be able to accidently transfer a seventh of his soul into Harry.

Answer 4

First of all, before you come to your own conclusion, read the sixth book.

But in my opinion, harry is not going to die because the series is about good and evil and good must always prevail,

also, I agree with your horcrux/harry theory. You see, I don't think Voldermort had placed his seventh horcrux down when he went to godric's hollow, so he inadvertently placed it in harry's scar. I think that the scare will be removed after the book is over, but harry will still be alive.

But alas, all of this is but a theory and no one will find out until the realease of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. *sigh*

Answer 5

I agree. I dont know about the horcruxes inside Harry but i think he is gonna die killing Voldemort, but come back to life like Dumbuldore is gonna to in the 7th book..... ( whats up with the name deathy hallows??)

Answer 6

OK first some back ground information. Almost every little detail that the reader thinks is unimportant is actually foreshadowing about the next book or a couple books down the line.

So in my opinion she will kill of Snape and Malfoy(for disobeying lord voldemort and having snape kill him.

The series will contiune for atleawst aother three books(when harry goes to aruor school).

Answer 7

Voldemort was supposed to have all his horcruxes made before Harry was even born wasn't he? Isn't that the point of Dumbledore's trips down memory lane?
