Possible Couples
So who will hook up in Book 7? Below you can find a list of likely pairings we compiled after the events of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. This page will give you a general idea of who we believe will get together in the next book, but if you're looking for hardcore shipping analysis, head on over to the editorials section. To see who was suspected of coupling in Book 6 before its release, click here.
If you think there should be more or less people on this page and you have a good argument to support your ship, e-mail an editorial (not just an email saying who you think will couple) to the Editorials staff. Please read their submission tips before emailing them. If they like it, we may post it here.
"ship" = relationship
Harry and Hermione
From Emerson and Melissa's interview with JK Rowling on July 17th, 2005:
ES: Harry/Hermione shippers - delusional!
JKR: Well no, I'm not going to - Emerson, I am not going to say they're delusional! They are still valued members of my readership! I am not going to use the word delusional. I am, however, going to say — now I am trusting both of you to do the spoiler thing when you write this up. I will say, that yes, I personally feel - well it's going to be clear once people have read Book 6. I mean, that’s it. It’s done, isn’t it? We know. Yes, we do now know that it's Ron and Hermione. I do feel that I have dropped heavy hints.
Ron and Hermione
After reading Half-Blood Prince, I'm sure most of you will agree that Ron and Hermione will eventually hook up. Although they never did anything in Book 6 to indicate they're now officially an item, we know this is due to the massive and more important events taking place elsewhere (like Dumbledore's death). I'm sure we'll see these two properly confess their longings in the next book. After what happened in the penultimate novel (Ron's jealousy of Hermione dating Cormac McLaggen and Hermione's jealousy of Ron and Lavender's relationship), this pairing is a sure thing. Besides, JKR confirmed this in her interview with MuggleNet/TLC.
Harry and Ginny
At Dumbledore's funeral in HBP, Harry told Ginny they could no longer be together.
"Ginny, listen.... I can't be involved with you anymore. We've got to stop seeing each other. We can't be together." (HBP, pg. 646)
Harry explains to Ginny that if Voldemort discovers they are an item, she may be in danger. Ginny protests saying she doesn't care, but Harry refuses to let another loved one die at the hands of Voldemort. There is a small possibility that their relationship may rekindle in Book 7, but I seriously doubt it. Harry has bigger things to do.
Draco and Pansy
A likely couple... pre-Book 6. Since Prisoner of Azkaban, the pair has been almost joined at the hip. For example, when Buckbeak bites Draco in Book 3, we see Pansy absolutely devastated. We also see hints of a relationship in Book 6:
Malfoy, sniggering, lay back down across two seats with his head in Pansy Parkinson's lap. Harry lay curled uncomfortably under the cloak to ensure that every inch of him remained hidden, and watched Pansy stroke the sleek blond hair off Malfoy's forehead, smirking as she did so, as though anyone would have loved to have been in her place.
Pansy clearly likes (if not loves) Malfoy and looks up to him, but I can't say that Malfoy feels the same way about her. He enjoys Pansy's company but only because she fawns over him and gives him royal treatment. Besides, even if he did like her, he's too busy with other things - just like Harry is too busy with his Horcrux quest to stay in a relationship with Ginny.
Hermione and McLaggen
It's obvious Hermione went to Slughorn's party with Cormac just to make Ron jealous. Not gonna happen.
Won-Won and Lavender
Again, just Ron trying to make Hermione jealous. That relationship is over.
Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour
These two are engaged and have a wedding planned for the opening summer in Book 7, so unless something goes seriously wrong, these two are sticking together.
Hagrid and Maxime
We actually didn't see much of these two together in Book 6, but our bet is they're still "close" - and who knows how their relationship will develop in the seventh book?
Ginny and Neville
It's a longshot, but as Ginny is now Harry-free, she might take more of an interest in Neville. They've always been close - even if Ginny is friends with him partly out of pity.
Luna and Neville
Although we haven't seen much interaction between these two, there have been a few times of note where the pair have worked together: Department of Mysteries battle, the Death Eaters/Order fight following Dumbledore's death, and Dumbledore's funeral. Luna and Neville also have something in common - the "loss" of a loved one. Luna's mother died when she was young, and Neville's parents barely recognise him. Also, both of them are hardly the most popular kids at Hogwarts. Perhaps, they'll comfort each other in the dark times expected in Book 7?
Edit: JK crashed this one.
Tonks and Lupin
We see from the hospital wing scene at the end of HBP that Nymphadora and Remus do have feelings for each other; the only thing that's keeping the relationship from developing at this point is Lupin pulling away because of his lycanthropy. We think he'll come to his senses eventually, though, especially in these times, where it's most important to keep loved ones close.
The following couples were considered pre-Half-Blood Prince, but we really don't believe stand a chance now. However, if you have a strong argument for why any of these couples could work, please e-mail your thoughts to the editorials section and, again, if they like 'em, we'll post them here.
- Ron and Luna
- Harry and Luna
- Harry, Ron, and Hermione Love Triangle
- Hermione and Krum
- Hermione and Draco
- Ginny and Draco
- Ginny and Colin
- Ginny and Neville
- Percy and Penelope
- Harry and Susan Bones
- Harry and Cho
Debunked Rumors
Before each Harry Potter book comes out, there are always people who will try to turn theories they've concocted into fact, or even those who will simply create rumors for the fun of it. Currently, there are a few about Book 7 and below you can find the ones which JKR has debunked.
Character Information
* Dumbledore is really dead. He is not in hiding and is not coming back.
* There will be no character named "Icicle," and JK said that she didn't recall saying there ever would be
* Dumbledore is not Harry's relative
* Harry is not related to Voldemort and he is not related to Salazar Slytherin
* Lily Potter is not alive
* Lily was not a Death Eater
* Crookshanks is not an Animagus
* Neville is not the son of Peter Pettigrew
* Remus Lupin does not have a twin brother
* Petunia is not a Squib
* Dumbledore is not Harry/Ron from the future
* Mrs Norris/Crookshanks will not be discovered as an Animagus
Plot Information
* Harry will not become Minister for Magic
* Peter Pettigrew’s silver hand will not kill Lupin
* Lupin will not return as a DADA professor
* The prophecy refers to Harry, and not in any way to Neville
* The final part of the prophecy does not mean Harry has to kill Neville, or vice versa
Other
* The title of the book will not be "Harry Potter and the Pyramids of Furmat"
* No prequel books are planned (no books before Harry's time at Hogwarts)
* "Keeper of the Keys" has no secret meaning
* The Sorting Hat is not a horcrux

Voldemort will be defeated. And Harry Potter will die doing it.
And Hermione and Ron will live happily ever after.
This is my list of why I think Harry Potter will die:
1. With Voldemort defeated, there's no much reasons to keep Potter alive.
2. He will become more famous. A martir of literature.
3. Rowlings can have a great excuse to try writting something different now that she doesn't need more money.
4. Rowlings will assure that NO ONE (before or after her dead) publish an unautorized Harry Potter Book. (Just imagine....Harry Potter: The College Years Part 1 of 4....a movie written by George Lucas). Just take a look what happend to many important book, comics and movie franchises.....they end up in crap (Harry Potter...the babies!).
5. Otherwise, he will have a trouble finding a job as an adult. What he will become? An auror? To chase who???? Voldemort defeated, probably most Death Eaters in Azkabaan...?
6. Ron and Hermione are almost couple already. And Harry is the bad third. And no, Ginny Weasly will become very hot for him.

Harry believes that it is a thank you to defeat Voldemort: Hallows as against Horcruxes, yet Ron and Hermione, who have not got self assurance the story of the Hallows, convince Harry to proceed searching for the Horcruxes. After looking and destroying the relax Horcruxes, Harry and Voldemort face off at Hogwarts citadel, and Harry triumphs. The epilogue of the e book exhibits how Harry marries Ginny, and Ron marries Hermione, and a quick glimpse into their lives after the death of Tom Riddle. There, short and candy description, not be conscious for be conscious, and it provides the final theory of the story with out overloading you on info. Thous you nonetheless might desire to examine the e book, it is much extra sensible than any abriged description everyone aspects you.

Personally, I don't think Harry will be able to communicate with Dumbledore. I think that all the important information Harry never got from DD because he died will be given to him by DD's brother Aberforth. Remember how DD would go to his brother's pub, the Hog's Head, often. I think that DD feared he would die before he could tell Harry everything he had learned or already knew about Voldemort and the Horcruxes, so he made sure he left the valuable information with somebody. I think that somebody is Aberforth, who will turn out to be a crucial figure in book 7.

I think Voldemort is Harry's grandfather. Several times Voldemort said that he was disgusted with Harry Potter's father because he married a muggle born witch.

harry and voldemort are going to cancle eachother out like killed eachother, that is the only way to keep balance. or harry is going to defeat thim, but chooses to go away...wherer nothign every can happen...but something is going to happen where the DA gets back to gether or something.
p.s. i think it kinda sucks for harry ot know that his powers mostly came form teh man who's trying to kill him. i mean, if he kills voldemorte, how powerful will harry really be???
