Pondering book 7 of Harry Potter...

[LIP_smack'in_FRACK]

Does anyone else think that Harry is going to die in book 7? Maybe it is just me, but I think that it would be very unsatisfying for readers if Harry just finished Hogwarts and went on with his life as normal...I am just curious to know what others think the final book will be about.

A co worker of mine was talking about how he was researching Greek or Roman (can't remember which exactly) gods and Hermione was involved in a love triangle (meaning Hermione, Harry, and Ron in the books) and someone dies -- so maybe someone really important gets killed off soon :eek: -- I work in a bookstore, so these kind of conversations come up when we are bored...what are other's opinions?

Ya my thoughts exactly! but i haven't read the 5th one yet, so i guess its a good thing that I have plenty of time to read ;)

[PuNkPrInCeSs]

yes he is going to die coz i'v read in a magazine that j.k.rowling is going to let harry die in her last book of harry potter

[bekahbeans]

well Parvati is a Hindu god, think she'll become a deity? :p

I doubt he'll die.

[tiger_rascal]

He will become headmaster at Hogwarts.

Well, there's always the infamous line that is supposedly the last on in the 7th book. Which kinda would mean that Harry survived and life is good. And Voldie died...and all is good in the world. :p

Rowling Hints at More 'Potter'
Mar 4, 10:35 AM EST

LONDON (AP) -- Harry Potter may be set to grow up. Writer J.K. Rowling hinted Thursday that she may not stop at seven books about the adventures of the young wizard and may write a further installment featuring the adult Harry.

In a live Web chat to mark World Book Day, Rowling — who has always insisted she'll write only seven Potter books — was asked by a fan if she intended to write books about Harry after he leaves Hogwarts, the academy for wizards.

"Probably not. But I'll never say never because every time I do I immediately break the vow," she replied.

Rowling, whose wealth was recently estimated at $1 billion, is writing the sixth Potter book. The most recent installment is "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."

"I can't say when it will be released because that's down to my publishers," she said. "But it's going really well. I am loving writing it."

She promised the latest book would include more romance for the boy wizard, but hinted he would also face a terrible ordeal. She added that she planned to try a "completely different genre" of writing when she has finished the seventh book, but did not specify.

More than 16,000 Potter fans submitted questions during the hour-long discussion.

Great, Harry as an adult. I dont know, but I think that would completely suck. The publishers will probably want to milk the Harry Potter phenomenon for all its worth until its absolutely annoying, but isnt it better to end it while its on top? I think that would be the smartest thing to do. I just don't see how a 37 year old Harry Potter could be interesting. But who knows, I guess we'll just wait and see....

i dont think he'll die. he better not! :(

[typicalusername]

it does seems like he will die in the end. he is suppose be this great tragic figure and usually in literature, tragic heroes die.

I hope Harry doesn't die. It would be a great loss. But only time and patience to wait for the 7th book to come out will tell.
