I have only read the first 4, and they were pretty good, but I have a mad on with J.K about this one. She keeps hinting she is going to kill Harry. That would be terrible. Ok, so kids die suddenly. We get it, you made your point in the 5th one. But Harry does not need to die. There are other ways to end a series once and for all. Think about how much you will betray all the teens who grew up with him. I am calling it now - if she kills Harry then susceptible kids will kill themselves too. Even if just one poor depressed teen does then that will haunt her - surely.

Find a better way, J.K.

I really don't think that Harry will die, the Harry Potter books aren't really tragedies, i think its all just for suspense so people want to read it more to find out.

[Obsidian311-]

if harry does die it will be because of the bond him and voldemort share not because he is just killed. either way it would be freakin lame for him to go through all that crap for 6 years only to die in the 7th lol. but yea i can't wait.

I think Harry lives and V dies. She wouldn't end the series on the bad note of evil winning...esp. not in a children/teen book. You could find that in Stephen King but not J.K.R.

The series was sorta played up as Harry being a tragic hero. Something like a Hamlet type, but I don't think he would die. I do think if Harry and V died it would make for a fantastic/grand story. I think Neville will play a big part in this book. They have hinted at it and N.L. is an unlikely hero, but one nonetheless.

Noo! not another one, im still reading the last one.

Just checking but ArUsIoM, I don't suppose you went under Black Mage in ATW?
Not that 8-bit isn't terribly popular.

I think Harry lives and V dies. She wouldn't end the series on the bad note of evil winning...esp. not in a children/teen book. You could find that in Stephen King but not J.K.R.

I also don't believe she'll kill him off. Though I think if she wanted to have him die, it'd be easy enough to pull of a martyr (i.e. evil would not win)... and I don't think the teen label would prevent such either: They've already gotten pretty 'dark', but are still childishly light compared to some of the other 'teen' reading.

I'm tempted to think all the 'hints' about Harry pulling some sort of Matrix ending are simply hype; and judging by the message boards my little sister likes to visit, such a tactic would be working.

I think Neville will play a big part in this book. They have hinted at it and N.L. is an unlikely hero, but one nonetheless.

Some very big hints. I've no doubt he will play a critical role.

personally i hope he dies and good riddance

the books are very predictable and poorly written, the only reason JK Rowling has been succesfull is because the storyline is original

I would disagree here.
If anything, I believe we could say that for such an over-abused genre, the writing is quite good. Indeed, I must tip my hat to Rowling for being one of the better young-juvenile authors... I believe she actually does a very good job with foreshadowing and such for the level.

They're not the Brothers K.* mind you, but nevertheless are not so bad as to deserve the abysmal book-to-movie they got; Naked werewolf and all



*I did a search, and just to be clear, that's K as in Karamazov;
not "an american epic that falls short of its...."

Yes, you're probably right...Harry will die, and so will Voldermort....they will use their magic both might I just happen to mention are the killing curse.....The power they both are brought out just gets too powerfull for Voldermort to handle and so Harry's magic overwelms Harry himself as well...any way when the killing curse kills Voldermort Harry gets blown back unto a little jab sticking out of the wall, in turn the jab peirces his back and Harry falls to the ground but is still under control of the killing curse and destroys Hermione and Ron at the same time, but just before Harry could destroy Professor Snape, Dumbledore comes back and stops Harry by using a magic barrier to trap him.....the curse wears off and Harry sliently dies....thats what i think will happen in the book.....hehe....

[jar0dinges]

that is sick dumbledore is dead and harry wont kill hermoine and ron and i dont think harry will die

what would be kinda odd but really exciting if harry dies and voldemort lives then you would have a whole kind of different end then everybody suspects

also the last word is also already know scar and the last chapter was already written when rowling was only working on her first book

[onlinegamer91/kramer]

i think voldemort wil ne killed by nevel


there i said it woo hoo

now haairy has to doe yall know why?
so some idiot dont think they can wright more hairy potter books years after jk is dead altho it is regretible to see an old friend go it is a must

[Mordack]

I'm looking forward to it.

Whilst it's true that the HP books aren't the be all end all of literature that some people make them out to be.. they are, however, a damn good story. And I, for one, am awaiting the final volume with interest.

[jar0dinges]

i just ordered my copy

[Spacey]

I don't know if I'll buy a copy. I bought the last one and I didn't really like it. I thought Goblet of Fire and Prisoner of Az. were both much better.

On the other hand...I did get the last one at Walmart for very cheap.
