Book 7 Harry Potter & The Deathly HallowsFollow

So are you excited?! Do you think having the LAST book and the 5th movie released w/in a week of each other will have negative or positive effects on one another?

Don't make me call Pikko on you

I BEET PROMATHIA TODEI!!

I dont really have high expectations for it. I loved reading them, but after awhile it sort of turned me off. Why is every male adult an idiot, or evil? Even harry's dad tormented snape as a boy, and good lord, dumbledore was a staggering idiot, on the level of either obiwan or yoda, in "enabling" tom riddle. even professor lupin has to have a dark side.

it's a bit sad that snape is probably the most interesting character in the series. He's the one that actually has power and choice to act. Usually harry is led around the nose by the plot and his "destiny," with ron and hermione along for the ride. I'd like to see how she wraps the series up, but i wager it will either be too formulaic, or she'll do something to annoy her fanbase to no end

We need to start a "which two potter characters die" poll.

So I'm expecting one of two possibilities. He either dies a martyr's death or replaces voldemort as a dark wizard.

Good will triumph, it's the basic theme of the books I'ld say.

I'm still thinking of what exactly is going to happen to Snape. Pretty much everyone believes that he is still good, maybe he killed Dumbledore or not, but he's one that is going to live imo.

Voldemort and Dumbledore die in book 7. (yes, Dumbledore again, most likely because he isn't dead, yet)

That adds a whole other layer of depth to my slash fiction...

Too much Revenge of the Sith.

I'm guessing Potter lives, Ron dies and Lil' Redhead too (his sister, forgot her name). The Harry falls madly in love with Hermione and Emma Watson who will be legal by the time they turn it into a movie will do her first nude sce--

What?!

Even if Dumbledore is dead, it doesn't mean he didn't arrange it that way. Remember how he stuns Harry and how he pleads for his life, eventhough he told Harry that death was just another adventure?

But to go with the "Dumbledore is not dead" theory, why was Snape so eager to step in and prevent Malfoy from casting the Avada spell? Perhaps because he knew that Malfoy would succeed in casting it (you can only cast it if you really want to - and Malfoy wanted to save his father). Perhaps because Snape cast a different spell that didn't really kill Dumbledore.

As for the picture appearing in Dumbledore's office, also bear in mind that the pictures are "alive" and it would, to my knowledge, probably be possible to cast a transformation spell on them. Who says the picture is really one of Dumbledore and not just a fake?

Besides, as Tolkien proved with The Lord of the Rings, killing off the know-it-all and bringing him back even stronger had a pretty nice effect.

He's not quite dead!

Well, maybe, maybe not. JK can basically do whatever she wants with these books; she's far from writing herself into a corner. I'm going to take an agnostic point of view on who's going to live or die.

Okay, maybe he is dead.

Dumbledore is definitely dead, and the books seem to imply that he meant to die, and Snape is actually "good".

At this point in time everyone is so sure that Dumbledore's "death" wasn't completely in vain that a true plot twist would be if Snape was actually evil to the core.

48 days left till the book comes out Have you pre-ordered, going to the store at midnight, or do you have the patience to wait for it a bit?
