A lot of people believe for various reasons that Harry Potter will die at the end of book 7. J.K. Rowling even stated in two interviews that Harry might not survive after the end of book 7. The prophecy says that Voldemort must die at Harry's hand. Could the disappearance of Harry's scar be the end of his magic or even his life? Can Voldemort really be killed; doesn't violence only beget more violence? Could Harry possibly kill himself in order to kill Voldemort while he is being possessed? Maybe Harry might be afraid of his own power?

As you can see lots of questions and speculation, no answers, please give me your ideas.

I'm abosultely positive that Tom will kill Harry then Neville will kill Tom. All the details are just decoration but I'm basing this on the "Harry is a horcrux" theory.
Because if Harry is a horcrux, he cant possibly kill Tom without killing himself (which im sure its very hard to kill yourself and then kill someone else) but the prohecy could refer to Neville as well and what better ending than the underdog killing the most evil guy ever. Happy

Final Fantasy X spoiler!

I think just for a good story ending; they both die. I wouldn't mind if Harry died. I'd probably act like how did when Tidus died at the end of Final Fantasy X. Sniffle. At the end, everyone is sad and they put a statue of Harry somewhere in a highly populated by humans area of Hogwarts (or it can replace that statue at the Ministry). Yeah, there's even a plaque that says, "In the memory of Harry James Potter, the boy who kicked the Dark Lords rear very hard with a steal toed boot."

I have a very strong hunch that the Patronus will help kill Tom. How many times have we been showed that Harry knowing how conjure a patronus really special and rare. Jo had made us focus on that. Does Tom know that Harry can conjure a patronus?

Most likely. Lucious Malfoy was there, near the hearing, and probably got the details to it. Anyway, I doubt Harry is gonna die. Which is unfortunete, because HP is a children friendly book, I doubt shes gonna let the MAIN charachter die. I'm not sure where I stand on the position of what I want to happen.

Children friendly book? No, I don't think so, if it was children friendly then Cedrik wouldn't have died, they wouldn't of spoke of it as him being murdered. In children's books people don't get murdered. Maybe there are some things that may lead you to believe that, but I seriously doubt that it will sway JK's decision of what she wants to be in the book. Although I do agree that Harry is going to live, I have diffrent reasons. I think that he will come extreamly close to dying, maybe he will die and somehow come back (which I think would be pretty cool).

Or perhaps everyone will just assume he is dead? Like we are doing with Sirius Black (sorry, I can't help but read fan fiction)?

Sorry Jon, I phrased thta incorrectly. Not really CHILDREN friendly, but not the dark type of book where JKR would kill off the main charachter in the end. It just doesn't seem right. Also, in "Children Friendly" books/movies nowadays, death and even murder isnt uncommon, it just can't be too graphic. But I agree, the term children friendly wasn't correct. Actually, I'd love to see the book take a darker turn, and Book 6, with Voldy being public, seems just th ebook to do it.

Harry would die, but it's still a happy ending. He would "go on" to be with his parents and Sirius, and probably Lupin, Luna and whatever other friends he thought he'd lost.

I don't think he will die. The book is written in 3rd person omniscient (you see the world through only Harry's eyes, if Harry didn't see it, you don't know it happened). If he DID die, it would be the last line of the book (which wouldn't give JKR a chance for her typical closure), or he would have to come back as a ghost or some other nonsense. That would be ghey. Very ghey.

Yeah, I think so. It looks like he's the final Horcrux. He'll probably be all noble and kill himself so someone else can kill the final piece of voldemort.

I think that he dies. No matter for what reason or how. I would love to see him die at the end of the books, call me cynical.

Harry Potter will not die - Albus Dumbledore die to save him. Albus Dumbledore always stated that his life did not matter that Harry's life was important and he gave Harry the tools he needed to defeat Voldermolt. Harry Potter was marked by voldermolt as his equal. Voldermolt is the one who is pushing Harry to Kill him. Harry has the power of a pure heart. Harry has been through so many hardships and he is stronger for them. Many would of never survived. Many would of took the easy way out. Harry is true to his heart and it is pure. TRUE PERFECT FAITH. Yes, Harry is human, but he is more, he is the who will save both worlds. The worlds will not be the same of course. JK will make sure no one will ever be able to use Harry Potter and his worlds.

I doubt Harry Potter will die either. We have an editorial about Harry Potter being a horcrux on here.

I thought that Harry was a Horcrux that Voldemort created by mistake. And if Harry has to destroy all of the Horcurxes then that means that Harry must detroy himself in order to destroy Voldemort. I would love it if that isn't so but it just seems to fit that way to me.

Yeah, that's simmilar to what that article I linked to expresses, though I personally do not agree with it as I am of the belief that Harry Potter will survive. Happy

I think he will survive but not like he is now he will change as a person, for one he will have to murder tom which will rip his own soul apart, of maybe their is an enchantment evoked by dumbledore, but under no pretence what ever happens at the end it will have something to do with harrys scar, maybe when he kills tom, which he will, he will lose all his dark type powers, like parseltongue, but we shall see, also lets not kid ourselve the only way supreme evil can be killed is by supreme love, because in is fruitless attempt to evade death tom riddle is killing him self, plus he is unnatural. Plus how do we know that when a horcrux is destroyed you destroy the soul, you should not be able to kill/destroy a soul that is not natural so maybe dumbledores ultimate plan is not to have tom die but to make him human again so he can feel all the pain he has caused others evidence of this is when dumbledore is dueling tom, and he says you do not seek to kill me dumbledore, above such brutallity are you.....and dumbledore replies just to kill you would not satisfy i admit. I WONDER.

i think voltermort willbe the one to die because i think dumbledores death put a protective spell on harry again the way his mum did when he was a baby.
re read the half bllod prince there are lots of clues in it the point you in the right direction.
1. why did dumbledore take harry to look for a fake horculks
2. why did he not fight snape before snape killed him.
3. why did he always trust snape.
to me it all points tho the same conclusion dumbledore died to make sure harry survived the final battle with voldermort.
and to make sure voldermort recieved his punishment.

havent you read the books properly voltermort cant die until all the horcluxed are destroyed cos his souls in them.
for voltermort to die harry needs to find them all first and destroy them.

Yes so we are told but as we are well aware that dumbledore can make mistakes, and i do not think that dumbledore knew off the fake horcrux beacuse no matter what his ultimate plan is i so not believe that he would ever put harry or the hogarts students in danger. Maybe when snape confronyted him he (dumbledore) realised he was wrong and was dumstruck like when dumbledore said to molly that people find it harder to so i know im wrong when they are proved wrong by others, BUT i do think it is fishy that dumbledore did not try to defend himself im sure all will be revealed.

I personally think that Dumbledore had to die in order for Harry to cease his dependance on him and mature. Without Dumbledore there is no one left to protect Harry or his loved ones. Harry must find a way to defeat Voldemort to protect all that he loves.

i think harry potter would have to die in the end. in book 6, they discussd about the horcrux and not being able to find the last one. dumbledore also said that u-know-who was putting part of his soul to objects (such as the diary, etc), and if anyone tried that in a living thing (say like a snake, or a boy, perhaps?) they could die. Maybe that's why potter has some powers of u-know-who, because part of his soul was transferred to him, and since he attempted to transfer part of his soul to a living object, it killed him! what's left of him are the memories that he left behind.. just a thought.. hehe

he would have to sacrifice himself to save the ones he love (ron, hermione, hagrid, the school, the whole world, well.. except the dursleys, etc). i guess that's the power dumbledore was saying.. LOVE, haha

I don't think Rowling could pull off suicide, it is just wrong. It would be too predictable to kill Harry off, it would be too predictable if Snape is really a good guy, it would be too predictable if Dumbledore is alive or comes back to life, and the converse of all these things would also be too predictable. If nothing is what it seems then I am right in saying that none of us really have any clue as to what will happen in the next book, and if Rowling is the genius that I believe her to be she will take everyone by surprise. Before book 6 I thought I understood what would happen but now I'm truly perplexed and anyone who thinks they know what will happen is just being mislead in my opinion. Rowling hid clues but like Sibyll Trelawny's predictions and her now legendary prophecy nothing should be taken literally and nothing will occur as you think it will. This is just my take on all this, and I have witheld saying it because many of you think you know exactly who is on who's side, who is going to die, who is really alive, etc. Have a nice day, and please come again, my rants are freshly served on a biweekly basis, sometimes more infrequently.

Well now for my two cents on the subject Happy... Everyone take your seats... I think everyone comes to this place to accomplish certain things and that when you have either accomplished this or totally missed the mark then you move on... Harry has had his set for him from the day he was born... The Dark Lord picked who is enemy would be leaving Harry with this task... Either Kill the Dark Lord or Be Killed Himself... I do not think either will survive the last book... I think Harry will kill the Dark Lord.. (boo's and hisses from me) But even killing someone as (cough gag choke) Evil (as I think evil and good are all a point of view) as the Dark Lord it is still causing another person's death... This will not do for Harry Potter... He will not live not sure how he will die.. I can only hope that wonderful Bellatrix is the bringer of his death but hey that is just me...

I figured out a cool idea (and all my ideas are cool except for this one time where Jas......long story) that Harry and Voldemort will both die: They both shoot Avada Kedavra at each other at the same time and they both got hit and they both fall down dead. But! Harry comes back to life because he killed to do the right thing out of Love for all the people he's lost and all the people he cares about and Voldemort killed to be evil and just kill. So Harry has the better advantage and Love is the answer cuz don't you think that's what this whole War was (is) about? Love and Hate. So, Love brings Harry back. Maybe Ginny goes over to him right after he falls and like her tears would bring him back kind of like Phoenix tears with healing powers. Or maybe Harry just comes back on his own or with the Love of everyone that cares for him. And all the people that Voldemort killed and his Death Eaters killed along with anyone else that died in the war comes back to life too. Now I know that no magic can reawaken the dead, but this isn't magic that brings them back, it's Love. All the Love for everything that is right and all those everyone lost and all who were lost. Everybody comes back. Harry lives. And he is happy.
Look, I'm sorry if all this sounds unrealistic but Harry Potter is as real as it gets sometimes. And even if this all this sounds crazy, can you blame me for liking a happy ending and wanting Harry to end up happy? I just can't bare to see Harry die!

So...all the people that Voldemort killed would be...un-killed? Even the ones with decomposing bodies and skeletal remains? Oh gee, how fun. The wizarding world would smell like roses tongue

Plus, if they both tried to kill each other at the same time, their wands would act all funny like they did in Goblet of Fire. I think. That might also mean that Harry would first have to disarm Voldemort before killing him...which would be tough, heh.

That's a sweet idea though, no matter how implausible it'd be ^.^

Well, u gotta admit it's a really nice thought! seriously...
ppl, I thought up another idea, although I know I'm not the first one 2 have thought this up: what if Harry's a Horcrux.
I think that statement would go sooo contradictory to my first idea I posted. Oh well, deal wit it...

Katane actually submitted an article on this site covering that very topic called Harry the Horcrux
