'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' Discussion - No Spoilers

I went round my Aunt's the day the 5th one was released, she grabbed the book off of me and read bits until she found out it was Sirius that died, then told me. I would not go at 12am to get it, even if I did it wouldn't be finished in that day. I'll get it about 10am instead lol!

I remember when the last book was released. I asked my niece who had died and she refused to tell me. I said to her that I hadn't read the other books so it didn't matter just tell me.

Who do you think are the two who will die? I can't decide between Harry and Voldermort, one of them has to die because the prophecy states that neither can live while the other survives. Maybe Voldermort dies to make it a happy ending for the wizarding world. After all, if Harry doesn't kill him then who will?
I'm not sure on the other one, maybe Snape or Hermione.

[Bad Wolf]

i would hope they are all baddies, but my heart is saying voldemort and ron/hermionie

[Luna]

i think it could be one of the twins - ron will die but be brought back some how

JK Rowling has spoken out about her heartbreak after completing the final Harry Potter book.

The author recently finished the seventh book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which is due out on July 21.

Rowling admitted that her feelings were mixed as she wrote the final words of the epic series, and that the sense of completion was a hard one to come to terms with.

"I always knew Harry's story would end with the seventh book, but saying goodbye was just as hard as I knew it would be," she wrote on her official website. "Even though I'm in mourning, I feel an incredible sense of achievement. I can hardly believe I have finally written the ending I've been planning for so many years.

"I have never felt such a mixture of extreme emotions in my life, never dreamed I could feel simultaneously heartbroken and euphoric."

I'm going for Harry and Hadrig but there will be a twist at the end perhaps we will see Harry reunited with his parents in some after life existence and we will see Ron and Hermione sobbing their hearts out along with everyone else. similar to LOTR when Frodo and Gandalf went of on the ship

[Katy]

Its going to be so sad. I cant wait. Im really slow reader though, so im usually on chapter four by the time everyone else has finished it. It will also look like the book has done three rounds with Ricky Hatton after ive finished with it.

[Abigail]

It's going to be emotional, I hope the ending is really good and clears everything up. Umbridge is back! I love that woman for being so evil

Harry will return to the home of his non-magical (Muggle) relatives, the Dursleys, during the school holiday. The magical protection Albus Dumbledore arranged, which requires Harry to have a home with them, is set to expire on Harry's 17th birthday July 31.
Harry plans to visit the remains of his parents' home at Godric's Hollow. Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger plan on accompanying him on this trip.
Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour plan on getting married in August. Several of the main characters have been invited.
It is unclear what will happen to Hogwarts after the attack on the school at the end of book six, but Harry has said he will leave school to continue his battle against Voldemort. If the school reopens, new instructors will be needed for Defence Against the Dark Arts (replacing Severus Snape), and possibly Transfiguration in the event Minerva McGonagall becomes Headmistress.
Harry comes of age (for wizards) when he turns 17, and is therefore entitled to perform magic outside of school and to obtain a licence to Apparate. His friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, and many of his classmates, already turned 17 during the sixth year, and Neville Longbottom turns 17 on July 30 - the day before Harry does.[15]
There is no explanation at the end of Half-Blood Prince as to the true identity of the mysterious "R.A.B.", who claimed to have stolen one of Voldemort's Horcruxes with the intent to destroy it, while replacing it with a fake that was recovered by Harry and Dumbledore.HBP Ch.28 The most likely candidate is Regulus Black, who Rowling said was "a fine guess" for R.A.B.'s identity in an interview. Also in book 5 when cleaning out the cupboards in 12 Grimmauld Place Mrs. Wealsey finds a heavy locket that she was unable to open.[16]
Because Harry convinced Remus Lupin and Sirius Black to spare Peter Pettigrew's life in the third book, Pettigrew owes Potter a yet unpaid life debt.
The quest to identify, locate, and destroy Voldemort's remaining Horcruxes will continue. The remaining Horcruxes must be destroyed before Voldemort can be successfully conquered.
Harry will have his final battle with Lord Voldemort by the book's end.
