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

[#1 Eastender]

People assume it is released on the 20th because it is actually realeased at 1 minute past midnight, making it just the 21st, therefore some think that of still being the 20th...if that makes sense

ps. i havent preordered the book but i will be one of the first to be queing up outside the shops lol, i am a true Harr Potter fan, i only heard about him in 2003 when the order of the phoenix was released lol

[#1 Eastender]

i was just reading right at the beginning of the threads and i saw that people were writing about possible people who might die in the finale of Harry Potter, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and i wanted to put my two-pence worth in lol. my theoriue is that ron will die along with a not so popular character whom has a fairly big part such as neville and/or that harry potter will indeed be one of the two people that die but may be able to return someway or another...as much i hate to admit however, i think that it would be best to kill harry potter off as this would be the only way to truely finish the harry potter series, as if he was to live the reades will still live in hope of another book!

another thoery is that when the last harry potter book comes to the end, jk rowling will introduce a new fresh character with a new background, maybe not so dark and not so young perhaps, to continue the harry potter series under a different name and there introducing a whole new legacy of books with the same feel but different texture if you know what i mean!

let me know what all of you tghink of this...

good theroy

jk said in her interview with jonathan ross that its not just two people who die infact the word she used was bloodbath - i dont like the sound of that

[Chloe O'brien]

Hands up how many members will be spending the 21st reading the book cover to cover without putting it down just to find out what happens. Whatever happens I'm sure there will be a lot of cheers and tears.

"There are deaths, more deaths coming," she said.
"A price has to be paid. We are dealing with pure evil. They go for the main characters."

Sounds like a few more than two to me

Who do you class as main characters? Obviously, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Hagrid. Are the Weasley's, Snape and the Malfoys main characters?

Either Voldy or Harry has to die (the prophecy) so I'm hoping its going to be Voldy then the wizarding world can be a good place again I think Hermione might die too. I really wish Sirius was still alive, I'm not particularly bothered that Dumbledore is dead.

another thoery is that when the last harry potter book comes to the end, jk rowling will introduce a new fresh character with a new background, maybe not so dark and not so young perhaps, to continue the harry potter series under a different name and there introducing a whole new legacy of books with the same feel but different texture if you know what i mean!

I remember JK saying somewhere that there would be no new characters coming into the last book. I'll try and find it.


And everybody has known about RAB since the last book, there is only one person we know with those initials. I'm reading OOTP and Sirius has just told Harry that Regulas was murdered by Voldy so maybe Voldy found out that Regulas knew about his horcruxs and killed him before he could spread the word.


Oh I can't wait for the book.

Ok, next question: Is Snape a goody or a baddie?

[Chloe O'brien]

Voldermort has to die he's the baddy and good has to triumph over evil. But it won't be without tragedy and heartbreak. Either Harry and Snape or Harry and Hadrig will die, so before you start reading the final book make sure you all have a large supply of kleenex beside you.

I think the most interesting theory i've come across so far is this......

1. Lily and Petunia are the decendents of the Slytherin bloodline. Tom Riddles mother, Merope, had a daughter, as well as a son...Petunia and Lily's mother. Harry is therefore Voldemorts great nephew...
2. Petunia when applying at Hogwarts was discovered to be the most powerful wizard in the entire wizarding community, therefore, she was sent away...she later reveales my next spoil..
3. Lily and James were experts in Horcruxes and were obsessed with killing Voldemort. When Voldemort tries to kill Harry in the first book, Lily actually turned Voldemort into a Horcrux and split Harrys soul. You can make a Horcrux not only with evil, but with love, as well.
4. In the last book Harry does die, but is able to come back because Voldemort is Harrys horcrux...

Some very interesting theories there.

If Lily died before Harry then how could she make a horcrux? You have to kill somebody/something to make a horcrux (as far as I can remember).

MYSTERY SIX: WHAT IS AUNT PETUNIA'S SECRET?

HARRY'S unpleasant Aunt Petunia has always played a lowly role in the Potter books-but there are big things in store for her in the next book.

Rowling said back in 1999 that a non-magical character will perform magic in "desperate circumstances"-but this hasn't happened in any of the first six.

And at the 2004 Edinburgh Book Festival, she mentioned that something more would be revealed about Petunia Dursley in future.

"There is a little bit more to Aunt Petunia than meets the eye," she teased. "She is not a squib (a person of wizarding heritage who lacks magical ability), although that is a very good guess.

"Oh, I am giving a lot away here. I am being shockingly indiscreet."

However, in August last year, she stressed that Aunt Petunia will NOT perform magic.

Rowling has never fibbed about what's coming up in the next Potter book, but she has been deliberately misleading before.

Is it possible she'll be used as a conduit by Dumbledore-who wrote Petunia a letter before he died?

Or is it possible her son Dudley has inherited some magical ability down the family bloodline and is just a late-bloomer?

Either way, we reckon there is still a partularly important skeleton in the Dursley family closet that not even the odious Uncle Vernon is aware of.

Aunt Petunia isn't a witch or a squib, therefore she can't do magic or be any relation of Slytherin's.
