death of harry potter?

I think Lupin and Wormtail, since Wormtail ended up with that silver hand after he helped ressurect Voldemort at the end of book 4. It might be reading too much into it, but silver is always the kind of weapon thats used to kill werewolves.

And Snape. Snape needs to die. I'd like it a lot more if Snape is truly evil and isn't good pretending to be evil all these years. I'm sure thats what will happen, but I prefer an evil Snape to a good one.

How ya doing, buddy?

And about the deaths.

I seriously doubt that the announcement has anything to do with Harry/Voldemort dying at the end. I has been obvious since the prophecy at the end of Order of the Phoenix that one of them would have to kill the other. Also, I do not believe that she is referring to the possible deaths of Ron and/or Hermione as well. If I recall correctly from the article, Rowling said that "two people die who I had not originally planned on." or something to that extent. She says she has had the ending of the final book written for fifteen years. If one of the very main characters, i.e. Harry/Ron/Hermione/voldemort, is to die at the end of the book, it would most likely have been planned from the very beginning and would not pertain to this situation.

I don't think it will be someone who is so essential to the storyline, either. I think people such as Snape or Hagrid are too close to the central storyline to just kill off without having it planned before hand.

If I would have to venture a guess, I would have to say it would be one of the well known, but less important characters.
-A member of the Order of the Phoenix (Tonks, Lupin?)
-A member of the Weasley family?
-Draco or another Malfoy? (Failing orders, letting down Voldemort)
-Peter Pettigrew (Dumbledore says that he is indebted to Harry because Harry saved his life.)

Double Post:


Wormtail's hand won't be used to kill Lupin. Rowling has already stated this on her website.

I'm not talking about him using the hand to kill Lupin, I just mean as a general sign that he may kill him. She may end up killing Wormtail and Lupin, completing the deaths of the Marauders.

Harry's insistence that Black is still alive, somewhere, is a likely catalyst for a "surprise" reappearance by Black just in the nick of time. Black is a surprisingly popular guy and I can think of a few Potter fans I know who'd be saddened by his confirmed death. Sirius's death would tie up some loose ends.

The room that held the veil Sirius fell through was a execution chamber of sorts (Dumbledore alluded to this at some point, or perhaps the Pensieve). Blacks death is the one that dissappointed me the most out of all the death so far in the series, so I'd very much like him to reenter the series but I've pretty much accepted the fact we won't be seeing him again.
Rowling has confirmed (somewhere, I can't remember exactly where she mentioned it) that he was gone for good and we wouldn't be seeing him again, but as I said before, he was probably the character I like the most out of the series so far.

I'm interested in the way book 7 is going to play out though, since the usual format of Harry going elsewhere before school starts and the events that occur through out time at school won't play a role in the new one. And he has a lot of ground to cover hunting down horcruxes in the next book, so I imagine this last book is going to be very very long. (I hope)

The other thing I'm interested in is how Voldemort is going to be defeated. To be honest Harry going toe to toe against him in a duel should in no way lead to him beating him. He doesn't have the skill to beat Voldemort magic on magic, sure he's talented in the DADA, but theres no way that can make up for the disparity between the two. Dumbledore held his own against him, so I find it very hard to believe that Harry can improve enough over the school break and manage to take him down that way, as Harry is no Dumbledore.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I suppose she could have planned on him coming back and not on him dying during the battle at some point. It just seems rather pointless and cruel to have him comeback for a last minute reunion only to have him killed off once again.

I would be pissed if this were the case. If this was going to happen, I could see it happening perhaps as it did when Snape came across Sirius again, Harry having found out Snape is innocent, then Sirius arriving. As I said though, I think he's dead for good.

I think he's innocent too, the evidence points to it and I'm sure thats how it will eventually turn out (Something to do with Lily helping him turn), but I think it would be much more powerful if he had been true to Voldemort the entire time and been leading Dumbledore along the entire time till the right moment.

I thought the exact same thing when I got to the end of book 6 and read that the wedding was going to happen. It'd be the perfect point to see event similar to the times before the death of Harry's parents, when things like that happened and a constant sense of terror. If one of the Weasleys goes, I would be guessing if Rowling really wants to shock everyone she might kill Molly, I think that would blow everyone away and have more impact than any of the others.

But then, you would assume that the security for this thing would be crazy, I mean, the event will be a whos who of people that Voldemort and the Death Eaters want to kill, I would have thought they would have made it unplottable etc to prevent it from getting gate crashed by Death Eaters.
