what will happen: Harry Potter dies BUT...

Neville will kill Voldemort and die in the process.

I bet Cho sticks his little one in Hermione.

Cho that rascal.

?? Cho is a chick, and a fox as well

oh, I thought korean girls had penises.

my bad, my bad.

No, No. 2:45.

The prohecy states, as written by Professor Trelawny, "one cannot live, while the other survives".

If you noticed that when Harry (= the good) prevails over Voldemort or Malfoy etc (= evil) it is with good, like in the Order of the Phoenix where harry forces positive memories to think about...and wins that battle.

I say Harry lives, but the story is comming to an end, as we all well know.

Therefore Voldemort cops it, to officially end any need for continuation of the saga. AS the trend has been good over evil throughout.

Harry lives however, either Hermione or Ron die.

I think either both Malfoys must die so that ends any other potential to resusitate the story, as there always must be an evil component. I think all Weasleys live except possibly Ron or Hermione Granger, one but not both cop it.

I think Hagrid is a slim possibility to die, but minimal.

I think all other Griffindors survive.

All Professors survive and Snape actually is part of some grnad, master plan to save Harry. See I think he killed Dumbledore for the greater benefit, partially planned by Dumbledore, as Dumbledore admitted to and was referred to as 'getting old' anyway - hinting that if he dies - and he asked to be killed his powers go now to Harry or Neville or a 'Good' Snape.

You actually make me almost want to get the books and read them.

Rowling has stated that 2 characters die in the final book. When she first wrote the final chapter (years ago) she had another death, but she has since changed it.

She has also "admitted" that killing off Harry would make a good ending because the story could not be continued. Therefore, she of course did not kill off Harry.

Ginny Weasley takes a hit for Harry, Ron will get wounded trying to protect Hermione who goes completely berserk with rage at Ron's being wounded (they will marry at the end of this book) and cuts loose counting a sh*tload of Death Eaters along with Lucius Malfoy as her victims {remember Malfoys' hatred of Muggles and Mudbloods...Hermione IS 1/2 Muggle, this will be an embarassing death for Malfoy}.

Snape is actually a deep cover double agent for Dumbledore and assists Harry in taking out Voldemort (Neville with finish off Draco but gets it from Lucius in retaliation who will get emulsified as stated above by Hermione) but buys the farm in the process. Snape will wound Voldemort so Harry can administer the coup de grace, but not before Cho also sacrifices herself to protect him (Harry).

Both Malfoys and Voldemort cop it. The Death Eaters WILL be mostly wiped out.

Hagrid will do something heroic.

Pearcy Weasley will be a swine and cause some havoc amongst the good guys by defending the Ministry of Magic's administrative position. Pearcy would make a good chairman of the GOP.

Prof. MacGonagle will also get taken out heroically in the final battle.

Anticipate a return of the girls from Beauxbaton and the boys from Durmstrang to help as word goes out in the Wizarding Word of the upcoming final smackdown.

Dead:

Ginny & one of her brothers

Neville

Snape

Voldemort

Cho

Both Malfoys

Prof. MacGonagle

Most if not all of the surviving Death Eaters, whose passing along with Voldemort's causes Harry's scar to vanish

Harry survives to become Headmaster of Hogwart's, Ginny and Ron become co-Ministers of the Ministry of Magic, Hagrid recovers and become DADA instructor, the surviving Weasley brother along with Seamus become Professor's at Hogwarts. A special seat is set at all Hogwarts' events to honor those of the good guys and gals killed in the battle.

*** SPOILER ALERT *****

voldemort is harry's grandfather

harry will show voldemort mercy

v will then kill granger

anguished harry will kill voldemort, and will give up his powers and leave the world of magic

ha, good Lord. Have a massacre.

Voldemort IS Harry's father. Come on, it all makes sense... Voldemort killed Harry's parents. Voldemort WAS his parent.

Just like in Star Wars.

Well, the previous poster said that only 2 people die. That being said, one of them is obviously Voldemort. And the other will more than likely be Ron or Hermoine. Unless they meant that two good guys will die in addition to bad guys. In which case: both Malfoys are dead, Voldemort is dead, Ron or Hermoine bites it, hopefully not hermoine cause the movie version of her is hot now, Neville will be killed as well.

also: Dumbledore is not dead.

voldemort is harry's grandfather, they share same blood, that is why harry's blood was necessary to bring voldemort back

voldemort was upset with his son for marrying a muggle and wanted his grandson (harry) raised in dark magic

harry's parents sent him to muggle land to save him and they were destroyed by voldemort

it is possible that harry's father is alive and trapped somewhere, but his mother is not

"one cannot live, while the other survives"

This is a complete rip off of the Matrix where Neo and Smith are connected and thus Neo must sacrifice himself to finally destroy Smith.

I think that since the first chapter of the first book was entitled "The Boy Who Lived", the last chapter of the last book will be entitled "The Boy Who Died" and Voldemort will kill Harry.

My money's on Ron dying and the final fight playing out somewhat like the chess game in the first book whereby Ron sacrifices himself so Harry can kill Voldemort. That would be intense foreshadowing.
