[QUOTE="billd91, post: 3120546, member: 3400"] You throw in the towel too easily. There are a lot of people who are thinking Harry's going to be one of the casualties of the series in the end. I can see why. But I think it would be a bad ending and so far Rowling has shown that she's probably smart enough to know that. Think about it: If Harry dies in the confrontation with Voldemort, we end the 3rd straight book eulogizing some sympathetic character. Boring. It would be a horrible rut to get into. A better ending would be for Harry to be taking stock of what to do now, perhaps learning a lesson about what it means to be a heroic while also being an ass (I'm betting Snape is one of the characters who gets cacked by Voldemort for turning on him... yes, I believe Snape is still under cover in the Death Eater camp and opposing Voldemort even though he killed Dumbledore). Because doing too much euologizing dead heroes would be bad for Book 7, I hope the "unexpected" deaths that Rowling had not originally planned happen early, in the first couple of acts. Horcruxes: I think one may in Hogwarts. Makes some sense. Hidden right under everybody's nose. Probably the main reason Voldemort returned to ask for the Defense Against the Dark Arts job as Dumbledore surmised. I think there will be some evidence of what horcrux Voldemort was intending to make by murdering Harry at the scene of the murders of his parents. Aside from Bill and Fleur's wedding, Harry's trip to his infant home will take up most of the book's opening chapters. Other character: Snape will be dead by the end of book 7 Draco will turn against Voldemort and, grudgingly, help Harry Ollivander - currently referred to as missing - kidnapped by Voldemort to make him a new wand... one that cannot lead to a repeat of the priori incantatum since it will no longer be a brother to Harry's wand, but I doubt Ollivander will count as one of the 2 unexpected deaths that Rowling has talked about Fred and George - we haven't seen the last of them, and I'm really hoping they aren't the 2 unexpected deaths... but it sure would have an effect Percy - will see the light and join his parents - quite possibly one of the 2 unexpected deaths Hagrid - he's the lead candidate, I think, for being one of the unexpected deaths Moody - he's the other lead candidate, I think, for the unexpected deaths Rowling has talked about Lupin and Tonks - survive to get married and, dare I say it, squeeze out a few puppies <oh, I can't believe I said that...> [/QUOTE]
