Will Harry Die At The End Of Book Seven?

Post by Revan »

J K Rowling has now said in 2 interviews that Harry might not survive at end of book 7. What do you guys think. The prophecy says that in order for Voldemort to die, Harry would have to kill him, or vice versa. However, Dumbledore could have killed Harry if he had killed Voldemort when Harry was possessed. That doesn't make sense as the prophecy says that Voldemort has to die at the hand of Harry. In this case, Harry would not have killed him.
Surely, the way in which Harry and Voldemort and Harry would both die, is surely if Harry is possessed, and Harry sacrifices himself. But then, there would not be a battle scene at the end. Therefore I'm hoping that Rowling will not kill Harry at the end.
But what do you guys reckon? Will Harry die at the end of book 7, or will J K Rowling will be kind enough to let him enjoy the aftermath of killing Voldemort?

Me too, But I really don't know if he'll survive or not, it's a pretty tough call for me.

I think Harry gets a hero's ending on this one ,it would be a little much to take him through 7 years just to kill him off but I think the cost will be extravagant, like never being able to magic again.
Yes I guess we can all just get along !

I fully doubt that TRC. Magic won't be taken away from him. Bur I think he might lose friends, like Hargid, Dumbledore etc.

But so far there has been a price to pay for everything good that has happened, And I think in order to save his life from Voldy @ full power the price will be quite high :bounce03:

Yes...and I don't think Harry would want his life saved for a price like that.

It might be a happy ending, and it might not. It will surely be a complicated ending, it might be neither happy nor sad. But I think you are right, the price for vanquishing Voldemort will be high! I personally think Dumbledore will die... :cry:

I think he will. Because him and Voldemort are connection, both by his Scar and the Spell that was done to bring Voldemort back, in which he used Harry's blood.

What if Harry did the Killing Curse on himself? I'm not sure it would work, but you've gotta explore the possibilities.

There's also a need to explore more into Vodkamort's favourite method of killing. How does it work? Can it travel through living bodies to other bodies? Theory: If Vodkamort did the Killing Curse on Harry, and Harry grabbed on to Vodkamort, would they both die, or would Vodkamort die, or would Harry die?

There's always the idea that Harry's scar can act as a shield, and keep the curse from harming him. You know, it's attuned to Avada Kedavra, or whatever, and it (the scar) is only able to keep that one curse away from Harry. That's why he's vulnerable to the rest.

Well, anyway, I don't think Harry will die. So there. :)

*shrug* I still think that we should go to wherever JKR's living at and torture her with mashed potatos until she tells us. :D

Heh, sorry. Still, stainless steal feathers are useful. And painful. :twisted: I could fly over now--

That's it, I'm getting the bleach!

Uh, I don't think he'll die. Gotta hide now.

I think Harry will die...not sure how it's gonna happen, but Rowling doesn't seem the type to let a character live "just to be nice"...
If you haven't read the fourth book, I don't recommend reading the following...(I know, most people actually reading this thread probably already have, but just in case).
Spoiler
Since Voldemort has used Harry's blood to come back, I think he's now under the same protection as Harry, which was gained by Lily Potter's life-sacrifice for her son, so I don't think Avada Kedavra will kill Voldemort now, either. The same thing, though (Harry's blood being used to bring Voldemort back) may make the connection between the two of them strong enough that killing one kills the other
