The Official Book 7 Thread Version 2.0

[WildWill]

I just saw a thingy on the CNN Headline New scrawl that JKR said at a book festival that Harry will definitely.....







Wait for it.













Turn back now if you don't wanna know....










Really.....







I'm not kidding....











Harry will SURVIVE the end of book 7. SO I guess we know who's NOT going to....

You know who...

[Charninja]

And here I was thinking you DIDN'T like Harry Potter. I wonder what gave me that idea. Unless you are being sarcastic or lying through your teeth, whih though possible, I myself would find hard to believe.

That being said... damn. I was hoping the little jerk-off would get his head blown off or something. Maybe that's just what I want to see in the moie though... It would be fun watching Danny's head getting blown off, that way, Emma could be allllll mine......

[Emperor Anubis]

Wel that should've been obvious after book 5, but at least there won't be any more people saying he dies and voldemort wins. That would be a terrible ending.

[BD25]

Actually, if you go to mugglenet.com and you check the transcript, it says he survives TIL book 7. Not til the END of book 7. Just til. She said anything after that would be giving away too much. Really, double check everything first.

Transcript: http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/news_view.cfm?id=80


In your stories, will Harry Potter ever grow up as a wizard?

Well, I don’t think it is giving too much away to say that he will survive to book seven, mainly because I do not want to be strangled by you lot, but I am not going to say whether he grows any older than that because I have never said that. You are good at putting me on the spot!

[BD25]

Well, JKR has had a Question and Answer session in Edinburgh after a book reading and has provided us with some hardcore facts. The transcript can be found here (http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/news_view.cfm?id=80) and some basic facts established are:

Aberforth Dumbledore is the barman in the Hog's Head
Dumbledore's patronus is a phoenix
Grawp will be more controllable in the sixth book
We will see a bit more of Rita Skeeter
There will be a new character called McLagan
Harry does NOT have a godmother

(Taken from CBBC's Newsround report found here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/uk/newsid_3566000/3566714.stm))

Also, JKR has confirmed that she's more then halfway done writing Half Blood Prince and so far it is her favourite book in the series. Go read the transcript and visit www.mugglenet.com for updates!

[Busterslash35]

some basic facts established are:

Aberforth Dumbledore is the barman in the Hog's Head
Dumbledore's patronus is a phoenix
Grawp will be more controllable in the sixth book
We will see a bit more of Rita Skeeter
There will be a new character called McLagan
Harry does NOT have a godmother

By listing Dumbledore's patronus, could that mean his will appear in the next book? But a phoenix suits him nonetheless.

EDIT: Stitch post! 626.. heh.

[crazynig1086]

If Aberforth is mentioned that must mean he will make an appearance also.

[BerserkerAzn]

I've been waiting for Aberforth to appear in the books...Dumbledore's brother, member of the OotP, etc. He could be pretty important...what I REALLY want to know about is that graveyard...hmmmm....

[Emperor Anubis]

Didn't somebody mention Aberforth being the bartender before? On this board? It sounds familiar. I really can't wait for this book now.

[RCG_]

I don't see JK's answer as a confirmation that the barman is Dumbledore's brother.

still refuses to confirm r/hr or deny h/hr. dagnabit. i wanna know who she ends up with NOW. i can wait on the rest.

[Village Dag]

I can smell WORST type of ending ever. Try something a little bit unhappy or realistic JK, for God's sake, you are unpredictable. Don't give us predictable crap please.

[PhoenixTail234]

Actually, if you go to mugglenet.com and you check the transcript, it says he survives TIL book 7. Not til the END of book 7. Just til. She said anything after that would be giving away too much. Really, double check everything first.

Transcript: http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/news_view.cfm?id=80

Yeah, I don't think it's likely that JKR would release the endding of the series, cause that's exactly what we're waiting for, to see who will live and who will die. Personally I don't think Harry will die.

And RCG, JKR has hinted time and TIME again that it will the R/H. In an interview someone once asked about Hermione and Harry kissing, and she was quick to point out that it would be much more likely for Ron and Hermione to kiss then Harry and Hermione. And everytime someone questions her about the H/Hr/R love triangle, she always laughs and says, I would have thought you'd have figured that out by now...

[Jeenyus]

I thought I heard somewhere that JK Rowling has announced that she will write an eighth Harry Potter book. If that is the case, then Harry would pretty much have to survive.

[Ace of Spades]

I thought I heard somewhere that JK Rowling has announced that she will write an eighth Harry Potter book. If that is the case, then Harry would pretty much have to survive.

No. There will definetley not be an eigth book about Harry Potter. She's considering an encyclopedia of sorts, but nothing about his further adventures.

And it's been obvious since Goblet of Fire that Hermione and Ron will be together.

[OmegaT]

Ok. We all know how 6 left off. *SPOILER*










Dumbledores is dead, Snape and Malfoy have left Hogwarts for good, and all that hard work to find a horocrux was for naught.*END SPOILER*


What is gonna happen in number 7? If it is, in fact, the last book Miss Rowling in going to write(and just in case she reads this ALL her others were spectacular), not only must it be at least the size of #5 or bigger, but it will have to deal with so much! We know Harry must:

>Destroy 4 horocruxes(we already have the ring, the diary and, although we haven't seen the one from book #6, I'll bet R.A.B got rid of it since he knew what it was)

>Dicover why Albus Dumbledore trusted Prof. Severus Snape so much
Dumbledore always trusted Snape so much-i know i wanna know why

>Find Snape
he ran away, hated Harry, and he killed Dumbledore-we(well harry) need to know why

>Find Lord Voldemort
the now strongest living wizard probably wont be that hard to find, but still, it's gonna be tricky

>Kill Lord Voldemort
we all know what the prophecy says-"neither can live as long as the other is alive" or something like that. six books will have led up to this-J.K. better make it worth it-I don't want the my $80.00 or so dollars that I paid to get all these books to have been a waste.

Now, let's speculate.

[BerserkerAzn]

1) You may want to color those spoilers in Color=333333.
2) You might want to read through all of this first: the old 7th book topic. (http://www.pojo.biz/board/showthread.php?t=184121)

[Darth Payne]

Does anyone have any guesses as to where Voldemort hangs out?

[InEviTabLe.SiN]

Man, I have no idea what is going on because I haven't read the 6th book yet. I can't afford it! And it was obvious Harry wouldn't die and You-Know-Who would because that's quite typical of Good vs- Evil stories. But, JKR could have just been barking us up the wrong tree..

Er, library?

[Crestfallen]

I believe Harry and Voldemort go down in the end.


It just doesn't feel right that Harry once again eliminates Voldemort and recieves even more glory.

There will be stipulations if my theory is incorrect, thats for sure.



Whatever happened to wormtail? Maybe his debt to Harry plays a role in Voldemort's final destruction.

[Niamh]

Does anyone know a release date for the 7th book??

[puflin4]

i think that voldermort will die, and harry will live, good question about the release date

[orange peel]

i personally dont like it all ending like this, harry skips skool, blindly goes to fight voldemort, trys to destroy 4 horecruxes (notice how the fake locket horecrux had so many enchantments on it and harry didnt know any of them), and thinks he can kill snape while at it.

Is it possible for another author to pick up where rowling left off? when the final book ends, harry's still gonna be a child, no doubt.

[Orichalcos]

To Quote TheOneSin:

Actually...here's something that just popped into my head..what if Harry takes out Voldermort, but is killed at the same time??? The whole basis of this is the quote from the prophecy:

"Neither shall live while the other remains..."

So, if they follow the prophecy...they should both end up dying. I mean, I know it might be a far stretch, and I might not have given this enough thought, but I just thought I might through that out there...


Edit: Clarification: What I meant by the prophecy saying they should both end up dead is that one way to interpret it is that since they both are alive at the time of their final duel...the other cannot be able to survive..


/Quote End

-------------

Remember that Neville was mentioned too? Could it be that by sacrificing himself in the final battle, he will die and thus Voldemort will die too? Just my small thought for the day. It makes sense to me, allows Neville to take the life light for his death, prove that he is a true Wizard afterall, and go down in history as a Hero (as well as Harry)?

[Airknight]

i believe harry would destroy the current voldy and he had to find the rest horcux after he left school~ or he killed the current voldy then some death eater kill him/curse him, then harry left his job to Ron and Hermione~

it is gonna be an unpredictable ending, it is just J/K's style of writing~

[Sephirtoh_Masamune]

Meh. There are so many speculations at this time that it just doesn't seem right to discuss the 7th book without more info and basis of FACT.

We are starting to get more and more facts as the year goes on and ends. As for the ending of the book, we all know that NOTHING will be revealed until the book actually hits shelves...when that is I have no idea...but I can't wait.

[Shizzle]

He's not going to skool in the 7th book.

[Sephirtoh_Masamune]

I beleive he might actually go to school...even if it is for a little bit. I mean it is called year 7 at hogwarts. I know he will be traveling around and doing all sorts of things, but I still don't think him experienced enough to find the horcruxes. I beleive the Dumbledore picture will help him a tremendous amount.

I beleive the Dumbledore picture will help him a tremendous amount.I agree fully that the Dumbledore portrait will help him immensly. I WANT Harry to go back to school though.

Also, if WildWill checks this, could he edit the "Snape is Good" thread to make a list of all the good things Snape has done?

[Sephirtoh_Masamune]

Umm actually I can edit the first post to include all the good things that he has done...I mean it IS my thread. :)

[Airknight]

He's not going to skool in the 7th book.
he is~~ i read something about book 7 will take place in hogwart somewhere~~

he might leave school occasionally, like Dombly, but he would be in school i think~

[The One Neo]

Well not to long ago I saw this A&E Biography on her, and I learned some things...

The last word in book seven is "scar"

She wrote the last chapter of the book already and has it locked in a high security vault

[Niamh]

I think polyjuice potion will have something to do with book 7 because JK said the chamber of secrets holds many clues for the ending its just a thought!!
I also wish she would reveal something about book 7 like the release date or something coz i cant wait to read it!!!! :)

[orange peel]

i believe harry and co. will all die trying to get at a horucrux and dieing from a bunch of hidden spells they are all too underclassed to see/understand. afterall, even "the chosen one" was baffled when dumbledore was destroying spells that didnt even seem to be there.

and the whole order of phoenix will rush madly at Voldy since of an emotional rage of Harry's death. Voldy having the upper hand since he is calm and clever while they are mad and blindly rushing at him, wipes half of them out with dementors, theo ther half are killed by death eaters. then it turns out dumbledore were two people/twins and only one of them was killed while another hid in a fox hole. they are both equally as strong so the one who hid is the only survivor and rushes at Voldy. There is a quick duel, Dumbledore trips on a root, Voldemort yells " avoda vodavra" and dumbledore dies. Voldy rules and enslaves the world for eternity until Judgement day where they all go to hell.

THE END

[ZanarkandAce]

Something dawned on me while listening to book 2... (Yes, I was listening to book 2 on my iPod)

Can a person be a horcrux?

[flame_champion]

why not? Nagini was theoretically made into a horcrux. But Harry couldn't be a Horcrux. When would Voldemort have done it? In the half second before the Avada Kedavra Spell rebounded and nuked him? Horcruxes are powerful and complex dark magic. I imagine it would take alot of preparation to perform the procedure.

Horcrux 1. diary(destroyed)
Horcrux 2. Ring(destroyed)
Horcrux 3. Necklace/locket(potentially destroyed by R.A.B)
Horcrux 4. Nagini
Horcrux 5. Hufflepuff's Cup
Horcrux 6. Potentially an item belonging to gryffindor or ravenclaw(i'm betting ravenclaw since the sword is safe)

and of course, Voldemort's Original body. Voldemort wouldn't have mde saeven horcruxes. He merely wished to divide his soul into seven parts. His original self would have been the seventh part. which leaves 6 horcruxes(stated above), 2 of which are destroyed, 1 potentially destroyed and 3 left to find.

THE END
Start the presses! :D

[ZanarkandAce]

Bummer. Because it stood out in the 2nd book that Voldemort transfered some of his powers and abilities into Harry when he tried to kill him...

And don't you make a Horcrux by killing someone, then transfering your soul into an item/being?

Voldemort killed Harry's mom, then transfered some of his powers into Harry. Probably accidently made harry into a Horcrux... That would be interesting to see. In order to kill Voldemort, Harry has to kill himself...

[Watto]

I can actually see that happening now...

[flame_champion]

And don't you make a Horcrux by killing someone, then transfering your soul into an item/being?

i would imagine that it would also require some kind of ritual/incantation/ something else. It's serious dark magic.

the transfer of power (which really doesn't seem like a transfer of power so much as a sort of sharing of the senses) wouldn't necessarily mean that he's transferred his soul. But who knows?

[sixersballernum3]

Although I highly doubt it, Harry being a horcrux would be the worst twist ever.

However, I believe some sort of incantation is needed to create a horcrux. When Voldemort went to kill Harry, it rebounded and hit him. I would venture to guess that once this happened, he hardly had the strength to make Harry a horcrux. If in fact that's even possible.

[orange peel]

Harry probalby wouldnt kill himself. Afterall, he cant even perform "Crucio" all though he's tried numerous times in the 6th and 5th books after he found out what they were.

And Voldy quite the wiz in Dark Arts. He's gone much farther than everyone.
He wont make a mistake like accidently making a horucrux. He's too good to make such a big mistake.;)

[Darth Payne]

We've already been through this before, last year. There's an incantation in making a Horcrux. How can you "accidentally" say an incantation you knew?

[orange peel]

This thread is ...dead.

Can we keep it up by starting again with: "wat do you think will happen in the 7th book?"

i believe its simple: harry gets all the horucruxes, kills voldy, lives a good life, THE END:D

[Watto]

i believe its simple: harry gets all the horucruxes, kills voldy, lives a good life, THE END:DHarry? Living a good life? I can't see that happening personally... :(

[orange peel]

Harry? Living a good life? I can't see that happening personally... :(

Wats there to be afraid of after voldy and the death eaters are dead?

[orange peel]

Even he Harry does kill Voldemort, he'll have to deal with the resulting celebrity status he hates so much. All Harry wants is to be normal and killing Voldemort will pretty much ensure he becomes infamous. More so.

Yes, the status. but thats good, isnt it?

they're even richer (they're-i mean harry and his wife [whomever it is])

[orange peel]

I also believe people can be horucruxes, i mean nagini is and she's an animal. and since humans are mammals, then there's not much difference between mammals and animals.

p.s. -sorry for me triple posting but i accidently hit the send button twice after my computer started lagging.

Yeah, I guess they can be. Though the issue of whther humans can't because they have sould, animals don't issue is debatable. But then again, Quirrel shared his body with another soul.

[orange peel]

Even he Harry does kill Voldemort, he'll have to deal with the resulting celebrity status he hates so much. All Harry wants is to be normal and killing Voldemort will pretty much ensure he becomes infamous. More so.

he's already much of a celebrity so there isnt much difference. and since he knows magic and there Unplottable places and he's rich rite now +the money to come once he killz voldy, there wont be much trouble if he doesnt want to be seen.

also, i know this is unrelated but isnt it sad how all wizards/witches never get the joy of internet,computer, videogames, TV, AIM, etc? I prefer to be a muggle, they seem much better than being a wizard with none of that stuff

[Watto]

Why would you want computer games when you could go out on your broom, or play chess ("Smash him!"). And when all written publications and photographs have moving pictures, who needs TV? AIM/MSN? Just apperate when you want a chat, or use an owl.

Exactly. Name one thing wizards would need that Muggles have.

[The Englishman]

And there are the muggle born Wizards who have the joy of both worlds; the cool things that Wizards/Witches can do, and all the normal everyday stuff because of how their parents live.

[ajp123]

With the "Harry is a Horcrux" theory, how would Harry be able to kill himself and Voldy at the same time? Somehow acquire two wands, point one at himself, one at Voldy, and somehow manage to perform TWO avada kedavra's? I doubt it.

~AJP.

[ZanarkandAce]

It was a theroy, is all. Because all of the Horcrux's must be destroyed in order to kill Voldemort... So Harry has to kill himself after he destroys Voldemort, or he will be that evil ghost thingy again... Less than human but more than a ghost. It's how he survived before... And it wouldn't be hard for someone else to finish him off if he was in that spectral form, if he did indeed come back to that after being hit with a Kedavara Curse (If that is indeed how he will die.)

And why would Harry have to kill himself with a wand? He can die any which way you look at it... Someone could come along and stab him or something... A death Eater Stabs him or something, and in the process of dying, he hits Voldemort with the Avada Kedavra, and dies...


Personally, I think that something else will eventually come up with Dark Wizards, even after Harry finishes Voldemort... And I think that we might see in the end, a flash forward a little, and see Harry teaching Defense against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts. And maybe Hermione teaching EVERYTHING ELSE WITH HER TIME TURNER!!! I think that even Ron could come back and be the ref for quidditch or something. Take Madame Hooch's place.

he could just force him into a unbreakable vow and break it, killing both
