Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the title of the final novel.
J.K. Rowlings has hinted that Harry may not survive and that one (voldemort) cannot live without the other (Harry).
I cannot wait for it to come out! But I will also be sad.... as nothing to look forward to!

Deathly Hallows.
The "Deathly" already sounds ominous. The fact that two of the three finders of Horcruxes have been killed. Dumbledore and the ring, RAB and the locket... Harry surviving the diary Horcrux was possibly pure chance, so the fact that he has a few more to gert rid of isn't promising.
Also, Daniel Radcliffe (the actor who is Harry) has been in correspondence with JK Rowling since he was in the first movie. He knows Harry better than 99.9% of people in the world (the only exception being Rowling herself), and he thinks that Harry might die. Might being the keyword.
Lastly, there's the fact that Rowling and ESPECIALLY other authors couldn't continue the series if she kills off Harry. She has mentioned this a few times.
Though nothing has been confirmed, the overall chances don't look good for Harry's survival.

I've read so many rumours 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 rumours 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.

There's a big possibility...as a writer..I think the best ending would be that Harry defeats Voldemort...but also dies in the process (still having time to say goodbye to everyone).
