What is going to happen in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?

Question

I want some good, long theories about this! I don't want to hear rubbish like Harry is the 7th Hoarcrux, or that Dumbledore is really Vernon Dursley is disguise! And if you are not a Harry potter fan, then don't waste your time telling me! Just ignore the question and answer my other one about strange and norrell!

Answer 1

Harry (nor his scar) is categorically not, I repeat not a horcrux. We will learn during the course of the book that after he left Voldemort for Dumbledore, Snape remained 'Dumbledore's man through and through'. He did what he did on the lightening struck tower on Dumbledore's express orders (so as to preserve his credibility with Voldemort and in order to assist Harry), in the same way that he ordered Harry to obey him without question, even if that meant abandoning him. More than 2 people are going to die, people keep misunderstanding what JKR said when she said that 2 people who she had intended to live were now going to die and one that she intended to die was getting a reprieve. I believe those 2 people are in addition to others that are also going to die. I think this will have to include at least 1 Weasley. If Harry does die it will be because he grabs Voldemort and physically drags him through The Veil thereby sacrificing himself in the process. I think we'll see very little of Hogwarts, possibly only a visit there to retrieve a Horcrux (Ravenclaw's goblet?), though if any of the trio survive we may learn that they go back there after Voldemort has been defeated to complete their final year - this whole process may even take place across the Summer holidays so they can return to Hogwarts for their final year would be their only 'normal' and uneventful year, but we won't experience it in the same way as the other years. We'll also learn that Kreatcher kept the heavy locket they found when clearing out Grimmauld Place and that this is the real Horcrux that RAB (Regulus Black) stole from the cave. Mundungus Fletcher may have stolen it with his other 'loot'.

Answer 2

After Dumbledore's death, Harry plans to destroy the parts of Voldemort's soul which are hidden in the four remaining Horcruxes: the locket, Hufflepuff's cup, the Diadem of Ravenclaw, and the snake, Nagini. When the Ministry falls to Voldemort, Harry, Ron, and Hermione go into hiding, apparating from place to place every few days. Together, they find two Horcruxes, and find the symbol, and discover the meaning, of the Deathly Hallows, three magical objects that allow the posessor to become the master of death. Harry believes that this is the way to defeat Voldemort: Hallows versus Horcruxes, but Ron and Hermione, who do not believe the story of the Hallows, convince Harry to continue searching for the Horcruxes. After finding and destroying the remaining Horcruxes, Harry and Voldemort face off at Hogwarts Castle, and Harry triumphs. The epilogue of the book shows how Harry marries Ginny, and Ron marries Hermione, and a brief glimpse into their lives after the death of Tom Riddle. There, short and sweet description, not word for word, and it gives you the general idea of the story without overloading you on details. Thous you still should read the book, it's way better than any abriged description anyone can give you.

Answer 3

I think we are in for the wildest ride yet. So much so that no matter what we predict, we will certainly be caught off guard by something.

Generally speaking, JK Rowling has told us that we will finally know everything we need to know for the story. However, there are rumors of her writing another book to tie up the other burning questions we've had but it will not be an eighth sequel. I think Voldemort will be finished. It would be too much of a let down for evil to preside at the end of a body of work. We know that people are going to die and that she has changed her mind about killing off someone of importance to Harry. Could that have been Ron or Hermione? Who knows.

In interviews she has avoided the question of a possible return of Sirius. As far as we know he may just be trapped in another realm and not actually dead. However, she has made it very clear in interviews that Dumbledore is most definately dead. She even said that the master needed to be removed in order for Harry to go beyond.

I think that after finding and destroying all of the horcruxes, he will have to find some means of killing Voldemort. We know that his wand can't be used against its brother. So that in itself should prove interesting.

All along the way we will learn about Harry's family..which we virtually know nothing about. She has dropped little crumbs along the way (maybe spilling a little in the third book). I think that although he will go back to his parents' hiding place, he will still end up at Hogwarts. That is still wear most of his support lies.

Neville is one of his support characters that I plan to watch in great interest. I think that he is more powerful than we realize. I personally think that his grandmother did something to his memory that has also effected him in other ways. I just hope it didn't do any permanent damage. It is clear in the past two books, that he may very well overcome these problems. I also want to know the significance of the wrappers his mother gives him and if his parents will come into play some more.

I think the house elves will also play a major role in Voldemorts' and the Death Eaters' demise. I am surprised haven't heard any theories on the house elves in all of this. However, they have their own magic, as do the goblins and other creatures. However, the figures of the fountain are already set in place. I can't help but wonder if the fountain was a sort of prophecy of sorts, for the end of the series. Even if not all of the elves would look at Harry that way, we do know of one house elf that would certainly fill that role.

I think that the DA is going to be seen more, but I don't know for sure how. We know that Hermione and Ron will probably end up together if neither of them is killed off. I also hope Ginny and Harry end up together.

Well, that is all that I can think of at the moment. I do have to say I think Harry is stronger than Neville simply because there was obviously some transferance of powers from Voldemort when he originally went after Harry. But Neville's background suggests there is more to him that has met the eye.

Answer 4

Harry has been burdened with a dark, dangerous and seemingly impossible task: that of locating and destroying Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes. Never has Harry felt so alone, or faced a future so full of shadows. But Harry must somehow find within himself the strength to complete the task he has been given. He must leave the warmth, safety, and companionship of The Burrow and follow without fear or hesitation the inexorable path laid out for him.
In this final, seventh installment of the Harry Potter series, J.K. Rowling unveils in spectacular fashion the answers to the many questions that have been so eagerly awaited. The spellbinding, richly woven narrative, which plunges, twists and turns at a breathtaking pace, confirms the author as a mistress of storytelling, whose books will be read, reread and read again.

Answer 5

My best guesses:

1. Harry is not a horcrux! (This idea makes no sense in light of the prophesy for one, and why would Voldemort put part of his soul into someone he might have to fight anyway! Also, that would make it impossible for Harry to survive, since he presumably would have to die to destroy that part of Voldemort's soul and would leave Vodemort still alive, albeit with only the soul still in his body left--but then, who else could take him in a fight???).
2. Pettigrew still has a debt to Harry and that debt will be collected upon.
3. Neville will find his strength and confidence.
4. Bill Weasley's marriage will be the scene of a big fight, and maybe the death of one of the major characters.
5. Draco Malfoy will not be a major factor, unless he admits to himself that he is in over his head with the Deatheaters and turns coat.
6. We will find out that Harry is Dumbledore's heir, and among the things he gets is the pensieve and a bunch of very instructive memories.
7. Finally, about Snape:
Snape is Snape. He is beyond the sort of simplistic categorization as "good" or "evil", IMHO. I do believe he is not as evil as he appeared at the end of HBP. It would take too much space to really go into this in detail, but consider this:

It is well known that Snape played the double-agent prior to the death of Harry's parents, and there is no reason to believe he wasn't still a double agent on the anti-Voldemort side. Why then did he bind himself to the success of Draco's mission and then actually kill Dumbledore?
My answer: Dumbledore knew that destroying Slytherin's ring had fatally wounded him and Snape knew so too. Therefore he allowed himself to be bound to Dumbledore"s death, a death he knew was imminent and against which he knew Dumbeldore had taken precautions to ensure that his death would not derail the anti-Voldemort movement.

Now, on the other hand, if Snape has turned coats; why did he not kill Harry* or disable him and take him helpless to Voldemort? JKR made it clear that Harry is no match for Snape as a wizard (yet). If you look at Snapes "taunts" at Harry and put them into anyone else's mouth, they're very good advice on what Harry needs yet to learn to fight strong adult wizards on anything like equal terms.
My answer is that Dumbledore at some point shortly after Harry was orphaned made Snape take an unbreakable vow to protect Harry. This fits in perfectly with Snape's actions toward Harry in the books thus far. Yes, Snape is a mean SOB to Harry, but that is Snape's personality, and he didn't vow to be nice to Harry after all.

My conclusion is that in Book Seven, Snape will act covertly and eventually overtly to aid Harry, that he will likely live, and that Harry will be just as in the dark over Snape's motivations as when Harry entered Hogwarts. (BTW, the above is why I don't think Harry will die. If I'm right, then Snape dies too if Harry dies, and Snape is the ultimate survivor).

*My reading of the prophecy is that there is no requirement that either has to directly kill the other, just that one no longer lives, so I think Snape certainly could have killed Harry and talked his way out of it afterwards

Answer 6

im a BIG hp fan so ill try my best 2 guess wht might happen:
i thin tht harry will go to the wedding an nothin much will happen thr. but whn he goes to his parents house he will get sum surprises tht will make him stronga. also whilst he is looking for the horcruxes the trio will get more powerful becuz of the obstacles voldemort will hav set in their path. this way harry, hermione an ron will take down death eaters/giants/dementors/inferi an otha creatures.
i think tht da horcruxes r hiden:
- slytherins locket is with kreacher
- an i dont knw exactly whr da rest r but da places thy cud be r chamber of secrets, near harry's parents house an in da riddles house. as for nagini shes always with voldemort (or nearby).
i think tht snapes betrayal is genuine an if thrs a SLIGHT chance tht it was fake thn harry will neva 4give him.
as for the final fight between harry and volemort only JK Rowling knws.....

Answer 7

There will be a nice easy beginning, things will get a little bit tense and hairy and then, above all the odds Harry will win through with his boyish and slightly wearing amazingly natural wizardry.
