The Official Book 7 Thread Version 2.0

WildWill · 08-15-2004, 02:15 PM

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 · 08-15-2004, 02:18 PM

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 · 08-15-2004, 02:19 PM

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 · 08-15-2004, 04:45 PM

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.

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 · 08-15-2004, 04:51 PM

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 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)

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!

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 · 08-15-2004, 05:34 PM

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

BerserkerAzn · 08-15-2004, 06:41 PM

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 · 08-15-2004, 08:13 PM

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_ · 08-15-2004, 11:33 PM

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 · 08-16-2004, 02:23 AM

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.

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 · 08-16-2004, 12:00 PM

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 · 11-08-2005, 11:09 AM

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 · 11-08-2005, 11:56 AM

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.

Darth Payne · 11-11-2005, 05:36 PM

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

InEviTabLe.SiN · 11-19-2005, 06:27 PM

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 · 11-19-2005, 06:36 PM

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 · 12-05-2005, 10:01 AM

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

puflin4 · 12-05-2005, 05:53 PM

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

orange peel · 12-05-2005, 06:01 PM

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 · 12-22-2005, 05:50 AM

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 · 12-22-2005, 09:07 AM

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~
