who will die in book 7? Options

[Potterfan91]

Why the talk of 7 Horcrux's. There's 7 pieces of HIS SOUL.

6 Horcrux's and the last piece that is inside him.

There is no 7th Horcrux, and wasn't meant to be a 7th one.

Quote from HBP:

"He made seven Horcruxes?" said Harry.......

and later Dumbledore says:

"But firstly, no, Harry, not seven Horcruxes: six. The seventh part of his soul, however maimed, resides inside his regenerated body."

True, I had overlooked that.

BUT then when would he have made the 6th horcrux???

Also who said that he had 7 pieces? I would have thought that LV would have lost the piece of his soul in his body when he tried to kill the Potters. But having the other horcruxes out there he was able to live off another living thing/being.

If that was true doesn't that mean he would have to use a horcrux to get his body back? And wouldn't that mean that there were only 5 pieces? DD and Harry have demolished 2 of those and the locket could have been demolished by R.A.B. So that means that there is only the Hufflepuff cup horcrux to distroy before LV can die.

Right???
Or am I just weird??? 12:wacko:

Okay, hang on there..

Moldie started with 7 parts to his soul

Part 1: Died when spell on Harry rebounded
Part 2: What he's living in now
Part 3: Diary - gone
Part 4: Ring - gone
Part 5: Locket - gone? I think so and should hope so!
Parts 6 and 7: Remaining horcruces to destroy - the Hufflepuff Cup, something of Gyffindor's or Nagini.

.. So I'm assuming there are 2 left to destroy before destroying him. However, Dumbledore implies there are 3 left - does this mean he doesn't think a part of Moldie Voldie's soul was destroyed at the Potter's? I feel perhaps it was was and he's already extracted another part from Nagini. Perhaps that's why he is so close to the snake? Because a part of his soul WAS in her, as opposed to IS in her.

I also think that Sirius will return.
I mean, his body wasn´t found after the fight and there wasnt a funeral.
Oh and guess what! The book 7 will be released in the 7 day of the 7 month of 2007 lol.

I think that deep inside Neville is a great 55:wizard2: . I think that at the end of the book Harry and V will be killed at the same time. Then Snape will have no one to follow and will become a leader himself. Then Ginny apppears and you know how they say she's good at jinxes? Well, then her talent will emerge and she will destroy Snape. Then because of all the commotion(I didn't think of where the battle will take place yet) the ministry wizards will be attracted to the scene and Ginny will be sentenced to death, but it will be for the best because her true love has been destroyed. Then that means that possibly Snape and V will become ghosts and will befriend the Bloody Baron?(No! They will have to haunt the battle scene for the rest of their ghostly lives which I'm sure will not take place at Hogwarts.)

I think this kind of answer belongs in a FanFic, and not someplace like this. 06<_<

[TheChosenOne]

I agree. It sounds to far fetch like a fan fic and I will be really sad and probably cry if that's what happens. I can't stand a horrible ending like death for Harry Potter for following and believing in him for so long.

[secumsempara_roc...]

I think Lupin will die. Werewolf are known to be killed by something silver and the hand in which Voltemort rewarded to Wormtail is none other than a silver hand. I think Wormtail will kill Lupin in the end and Tonks will kill Wormtail because she liked Lupin.

I think that virtually all of the people close to Harry will die in book 7. (Yes, Ron too)

In books 5 and 6, two major characters died (Sirius, Dumbledore). These two people were Harry's major supports (as far as adults go). Now, as we know JKR does everything for a reason, and I definatly think that these two characters died for a reason. Sirius and Dumbledore died because Harry was too dependant on them. Every time his scar prickled, he'd go to one of them. If Harry is to defeat Voldemort in book 7, he needs to start relying on himself instead of running to somebody else every time he has a problem. These deaths can, and should be taken as a foreshadowing for more deaths to come in book 7. I think that either Ron or Hermione, or both will die in book 7 because Harry depends on them far to much.

Well I'll disagree with all the people close to Harry dying. In the first place I don't feel Harry was dependent on Dumbledore and Sirius. Dumbledore always seemed to not be around when Harry was in trouble, it was Ron and Hermione that helped him out, and Sirius really didn't do anything to help him besides some advice. If anything it was Harry helping Sirius.

As for if Ron, Hermione, and Ginny dying.... I can't see it. But then it's my opinion, and you have yours. I chose to look on the positive side to this story, others look for the dramatic.

[tealinkea]

I think Voldemort will die in Book 7...
02:lol:

[kittygirl543]

I agree with Baty. I like to look on the positive side. 02:D

I remember reading an editorial on Mugglenet with an idea of comparing Harry to a person who is going through the alchemical phases...like that of making the Philosopher's stone, and I really saw it as a good idea. It said that Harry goes through three stages, black, white, and then red. It's really complicated, but the black stage is Sirius, the White stage is Dumbledore, and the Red stage is Hagrid...Rubeus Hagrid. Make sense?
I agree with that author, because it all eerily makes sense, and therefore, I DO think Hagrid will die.

Among others, I really don't want Snape to die, because I think he's a great character, but in all honesty, he probably will. Draco won't die, because I don't think he's as evil a character as we perceive him to be, and he'll probably redeem himself later in Book 7. Percy is a big possibility, because I remember Molly seeing her dead children in the boggart, and for all nine Weasleys to survive...that's some crazy red headed gene. Neville, (as I've said in a previous post) is also another that I think possibly could die...but that I'm still weary of.

There are my predictions. And Voldy is made good by a cheering charm. Woohoo.

[Potterfan91]

And Voldy is made good by a cheering charm. Woohoo.

That would be wicked sweet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laughing.gif)
But if it were that simple there wouldn't be such a great series of books to read and therorize about. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[RadToTheMax]

I think that Neville is going to die tying to save Harry's life because he could have been the one that Voldy chose to mark as his equal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif)

[genervt]

i also think neville will die by the hand of voldemort himself, but i see him saving McGonogall.
Hagrid is the other i guess to die, sad, but better than Ron or Hermione.

[the_prisoner_of_...]

I hope Snape dies. Even if he is good, I will always hate him. I've given my reasons for this on another thread but that's just my own ideas. To me he will always be the man that led to the "deaths" of James, Lilly, Sirius and Dumbledore.
For arguments sake, If Snape IS good, well Voldemort will more then likely kill him (or one of the Death Eaters will). Voldemort won't just let him go free. And if Voldemort is killed, Bellatrix is also a likely murderer.
And if Snape IS bad, well then someone in the order will kill him. Come to think of it, even if he's good, Lupin and all them won't just forgive Dumbledore's death and probably won't believe Snape if he says it was on Dumbledore's orders.

[baty4potter]

What's so funny about this whole thing is that we talk about Voldemort killing Snape, and I am one of those who has said that, but..... If Voldemort can kill Snape and he's quite powerful, then how do we think Harry is going to kill Voldemort. So I don't think Voldemort will die. I do think Harry will defeat him, but he is not *that* powerful to kill V.

[St. Jimmy]

okay. so here's my thoughts:

-either harry OR voldemort will die. i know-like i'm realllly going out on a limb there, right? but think about it, in order for this story to be effectively completed, one or both of them have to die. but ultimately i think rowling wants to leave the door open so she can write more harry stuff later in her career (though she'd probably end up killing him at some point before she kicked off herself)

-ron, hermione, and ginny are all safe in my opinion (because at heart i have to think harry will survive). ginny has a MAJOR role to play in this last book, given that harry loves her in a much different way than he's loved anyone else.

-snape? dies. oh yes, he eats it. he goes to the big hogwarts in the sky (or wherever great wizards go when they die). he has to. dumby has pretty much drilled into harry's head by now that voldy is a loner, a rebel (dottie), and he won't be trusting of anyone. even those who kill his most hated enemy outside of harry potter. we have to remember that ultimately voldy and dumby are the central characters in this story. not harry. the crux of the story is the untrusting evil v. the overly trusting good. it's why obi-wan and vader were the center of the real star wars trilogy, and luke, leia, and han were actually smaller characters in the over all arc.

bottom line is that ms. rowling rocks my socks as an author, and it's inspiring to someone who hopes someday to have his own writings published...though i could never dream of having a level of success within even a modicum of hers!

You know, as I've said, I'd hate to see Snape die...but I don't think Voldemort will be the one to do it. I've made this prediction elsewhere, but I think it would be difficult for Voldemort to kill Snape because I think he is the closest thing to a friend that Voldemort has. Whatever that may be defined as. Anywho, I think that if Snape dies it will be at the hands of someone who has been seriously hurt by him...and I don't mean Harry because I think Harry will come to find out that Snape is a pretty decent and loyal guy, but I think it will be Bellatrix or Narcissa when they find out he has betrayed them...or maybe even Lupin. Ah, but even Lupin might be a stretch. So who knows really.
As for Neville dying for Harry...I don't think I can see that happening. Not that I don't think he's not brave enough, but I think that Neville has to survive. Sure, he's Harry's other prophesized half...but I think that the type of character that Neville is and everything he has gone through to be a hero and everything he is, he just has to survive and be one of the happy ending stories about love and happiness and all those crazy things that Jo preaches about. =D

[the_prisoner_of_...]

I've made this prediction elsewhere, but I think it would be difficult for Voldemort to kill Snape because I think he is the closest thing to a friend that Voldemort has.

We only know from Snape saying he's close to Voldemort. We've always been told Voldemort didn't have friends, he didn't want to at least, but he needed followers. We've never actually heard Voldy saying Snape was close to him.
But what I was saying about Snape being killed by Voldemort before, Only applies if Snape is good. If Snape is "good" Voldy I don't think will have any trouble killing him. This is saying that if Snape has betrayed Voldemort, Voldemort will want him dead.
