Percy makes sense because they've made such a fuss of him leaving the family so him comeing back and saving someone or dying by some other means seems right

perhaps but I think that one of the other ones will die either one of the twins or charlie as well as percy, probably a twin that be the most tragic IMO, but who knows. when is book 7 out BTW?

NOOOOOOO!!!!! J.K. Rowling can't kill a Weasely.

***azalea*** · 04-02-2006, 12:17 AM

Popular rumor has it that the book will be released on 7-7-07. But then, I suppose that it really all depends on how long it takes her to write the thing, I've heard she's only done about 4 chapters yet.

King of The Istari · 04-03-2006, 04:56 PM

thats not that bad really, Book 7 has got to be the hardest to write and it normally takes her two years, she supposidly writes them out of sync so she'll most likely have the 4 hardest chapters pretty much dealt with. the 4 chapters will most likely be something like:

End Chapter
First Chapter
Death of Character
Death of Character

i think that if any of the weasleys do die, then it would have to be either ron or ginny, or possibly a twin, to really make harry determained.

p.s ron should die after he and hermione

p.p.s a tradegy could happen at the wedding...

Finrod Felagund · 06-10-2006, 08:34 PM

i think Percy will redeem himself as a character and die to save Harry or his family. Perhaps it would be nice.

Maybe Merlin himself should show up and blow up the world.

jammi567 · 06-12-2006, 11:58 AM

you think so.

Finrod Felagund · 06-18-2006, 03:00 AM

Well, here's some things that J.K. Rowling has denied being True.

Character Information
There will be no character named "Icicle," and JK said that she didn't recall saying there ever would be
Dumbledore is not Harry's relative
Harry is not related to Voldemort and he is not related to Salazar Slytherin
Lily Potter is not alive
Lily was not a Death Eater
Crookshanks is not an Animagus
Neville is not the son of Peter Pettigrew
Remus Lupin does not have a twin brother
Petunia is not a Squib
Dumbledore is not Harry/Ron from the future
Mrs Norris/Crookshanks will not be discovered as an Animagus

Plot Information
Harry will not become Minister for Magic
Peter Pettigrew’s silver hand will not kill Lupin
Lupin will not return as a DADA professor
The prophecy refers to Harry, and not in any way to Neville
The final part of the prophecy does not mean Harry has to kill Neville, or vice versa

Other
The title of the book will not be "Harry Potter and the Pyramids of Furmat"
No prequel books are planned (no books before Harry's time at Hogwarts)
"Keeper of the Keys" has no secret meaning
The Sorting Hat is not a horcrux

And here's what we DO know for sure

Character Information
We will find out something "incredibly important" about Lily Potter
We will find out who R.A.B. is
We will discover more about Dumbledore's past
We will discover where Snape's loyalties lie.
Something will be revealed about Petunia Dursley, although it will not be that she is a Squib
Viktor Krum will return (World Book Day, 2004 interview)
We will see a reappearance of Dolores Umbridge - "It's too much fun to torture her not to have another little bit more before I finish." (MuggleNet/Leaky Interview)
JKR has said, "There is a character who does manage, in desperate circumstances, to do magic quite late in life, but that is very rare..."

Plot Information
Harry will face Voldemort for the final time
Harry will be attempting to find and destroy Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes
Harry will return to the Dursleys' during the school vacation, but the magical protection Dumbledore arranged will expire on his 17th birthday when he comes of age
Harry will visit Godric's Hollow
We will discover the reason for Sirius' death, and see a reappearance of the two-way mirror
We will see the wedding of Fleur and Bill Weasley
The fact that Harry "has his mother's eyes" will prove to be an important plot point
At least one character will die

Other
The last word is expected to be "scar," but may change
We will finally learn the full reason why some people become ghosts when they die and others don't
The final chapter, which has already been written, will detail what happens to the characters that survive
There will be no more Quidditch matches

Well, we still don't know who is going to die, but we know it will be more than one. Reuters is reporting that in an interview with Channel 4, J. K. Rowling said that one got a reprieve but 2 die that she didn't intend to die.

Rowling to kill two in final Potter book Mon Jun 26, 3:52 PM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - Children's author J.K. Rowling has revealed that at least two characters will die in the seventh and final installment of her bestselling Harry Potter series, but was careful not to say who......

"The final chapter is hidden away, although it's now changed very slightly," she said in an interview broadcast on Monday on Britain's Channel 4. "One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die."

When asked to be more specific, she added: "No, I'm not going to commit myself, because I don't want the hate mail or anything else."

She did explain that she understood an author's desire to kill off the main character of a successful series.

"I've never been tempted to kill him (Harry) off before the end of book seven, because I always planned seven books and that's where I want to go.

"I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks 'Well, I'm going to kill them off because that means there can be no non-author-written sequels ... so it will end with me, and after I'm dead and gone they won't be able to bring back the character'."................."

i just saw on CNN that Rowling has said that "harry might die"...er...shocker, eh?

Spock · 06-27-2006, 12:30 PM

J.K. Rowling has revealed that in the 7th and final Harry Potter story, 2 characters are set to die.On the Richard and Judy show yesterday, she also revealed, that she had actually written the final chapter, of the final book back in 1990.

"One character had a reprieve, but i have to say that two die, that i didn't intend to die" she said.

But she is being carefull not to reveal, who those characters are.

***Rían*** · 09-29-2006, 04:48 PM

I'm getting impatient - will it really not come out until July 2007?

cee2lee2 · 09-30-2006, 01:05 AM

Yes...supposedly to be published July 13, 2007. It's a long wait.

***Rían*** · 09-30-2006, 01:13 AM

dang! *stomps off*

The last sane person · 09-30-2006, 01:55 AM

I hope Hermione and Ron kick it. Death in a lover's arms or some rot.

minnie · 10-11-2006, 02:47 PM

Somehow I don't think Snape will turn good, and I also think that Dumbledore is really dead. It's sad, but that's how I think it is.......
Maybe the portrait of Dumbledore can help Harry somehow in the future, or
other things Dumbledore left behind.
I wonder what will happen to Dumbledores office and the instruments he had there! Will there be an heir?

jammi567 · 10-11-2006, 03:11 PM

j.k confermed that dd was indeed dead all the way back in august. just so you know.

klatukatt · 10-11-2006, 03:36 PM

Has anyone pondered the thought that Harry is actually a horcrux? Maybe an accidental one, but one all the same. Possibly to insure Voldemort's ultimate demise he has to kill himself.

I would like that.

(And Snape is bad. Oh yeah.)

***Rían*** · 10-12-2006, 08:03 PM

yeah, I think I remember that theory ...
