Will Harry Die In Book 7??

[j. d. worthington]

Mmmm; this, too, is questionable, but -- let it pass....

Judging by what she said in that interview, it could very well be Harry. I suppose the seris could soldier on if Ron and Hermione died, but you can't really have an eighth Harry Potter book without Harry. So yes, I think he will. Harry giving his life to kill Voldemort, or having to die for voldemort to die, would fit in the series well.

I think he'll die but I'm not sure he'll stay dead. I really think Harry is a Horcrux; and it's left ambigious in the last book about what the last one is. We know a living being can be one ( Nagini might be); Harry's scar is also a symbol of a transfer of power, I think the source of that power is part of Voldemort's soul. It would also explain why Voldemort wants to kill Harry ( and not a death eater) so he can get it back.

So I think Harry will have to die at least temporarily to kill Voldemort.

I think it will be good if Harry dies, the series has draggon on far too long and this will be a conclusive end to it.
It feels like she is flogging a dead horse now.
Rowling has proved she has got a brillient imagination and it would be such a shame if she will continue with Harry forevermore and not develop new charecters and alternate novels.

he is going to fight voldermort in a supperburlybrawl(neo-smith), then fly into space and destroy the death star, ride a horse and save earth from the vogons, visit shayol ghul and kill smaug and watch a klikiss and a iluminati priest do battle with staffs of power, amongst other things

Vogons? Nah Prof Binns could defeat 'em.

The kid should have been strangled at birth.

interesting theory... I rather like that...

in all seriousness, I think Harry will die in book 7. I've actually thought that for a long time...

[Adasunshine]

I'm with Roheryn, it was hinted at years ago and I've just always assumed that Harry has to sacrifice his life for the greater good. To me it would make more sense and be more believable then to have Harry survive what JK Rowling herself described as pure evil.

I think Harry will die but not because he's a Horcrux. Voldemort never anticipated touching Harry and transferring any power. That outcome was the one he least expected.

The cynic in me says he might die to eliminate any possibility of anyone taking advantage of the character but then again if it turns out she's a one character wonder she might not want to do that in her lifetime.

There has to be a confrontation between Harry and Voldemort and one or both of them might well die though I agree with j.d. that it would be cruel to kill Harry given all the kids reading the books. There's reality and then there's reality and killing Harry would be a tad much.

[jof]

I think harry's going to survive for the base reason that these are first and foremost childrens books. I think kids as young as 5 are read to about it...this would ruin there lives to exaggerate :P

[orionsixwings]

I think Rowling had always planned Harry's death. What concerns me are the two other characters which she says get chucked, which she didn't plan but get killed anyway.

I suspect that Ron dies, and Hermione grows up to be a spinster, like McGonagall. Hagrid dies too. The one that got a reprieve would be Hermione --- I think Rowling wanted to kill her off, but decided not to.

Neville won't die, and I doubt he'd do anything spectacular. Although, I suspect him to become a Hogwarts teacher -- he'll be teaching Herbology.

Which would solidify my theory that his scar is a Horcrux, and the only way to rid him of it would be to receive the Dementor's kiss.

I don't want him to die, but I think she will kill him off. Simply because she doesn't want other authors writing about him when she's dead.

[star.torturer]

she said that that wouldnt happen
