What will happen in the 7th Harry Potter Book?

Horatio's Girl

Hey, first time Thread, so here we go. Harry Potter. It rox! so what do u all think will happen in the egarly awaited 7th book? including who you think will die.

Faith

Harry, Ron and Hermione will all die in the first chapter. Sadly, Harry will never even get to take his apparition test.

Voldemort will be victorious and will take over the world, including the muggle one. House elves will be replaced with muggles.

Dumbledore will turn out to be Voldemort's twin brother, secretly working alongside him the entire time.

No, seriously, who knows? I think Harry will die though. And Ron.

The Bollox

Marts' prediction:

through an unholy twist of fate, Neville really IS the one. Voldemort will kill harry and Neville will kill Voldemort

r3nu4l

Harry will be placed in mortal danger and have to face Voldermort. There will be sexual tension between Hermione and Ron who will get it on briefly before some silly misunderstanding causes them to break up.

This break up will cause both Hermione and Ron to miss out on the bleedin' obvious that Harry is in serious trouble and their bickering will occur while Harry and Voldermort are fighting to the death, Harry will be on the verge of being beaten when Dumbledore will mysteriously appear and save him.

Voldermort will be enraged and go after Dumbledore whereupon it will be Harry's turn to save Dumbledore and defeat Voldemort. When Voldermort dies Sirius will be released from the mirror prison he has been kept in since book 4.

Malfoy and his Dad will also be killed, Ron will probably kill Malfoy and this will make Hermione moist for Ron again!

Harry will be officially adopted by the Weasleys and will return to the Dursleys once more to collect his stuff and sh1t on their doorstep before leaving forever.


Or something like that...

Despite me implying that it will be predictable, I really love the Harry Potter books and can't wait for the next one!

oRlyYaRly

Harry and Ron will die for some reason at the start of the book. Voldemort will just stop killing people and stuff for some reason.

Then the rest of the book will just be about Hermione's N.E.W.T adventures.

Blush_01

Voldemort isn't really Voldemort, Snape is Voldemort. He outs himself and decides to live in peace and harmony with everyone, except the Voldemort imposter, who he explodes as part of a huge fireworks display. The book will be a million pages long, and most of it will be filled with Dobby's diary entries.

hydomel

I think that Dumbledore lives on, i just can't think of a good enough explanation. I'm sure good old JK will think of it for me though.
Ron and Hermione will probably get together, which is a sickening prediction seen as JK refers to Ron and Hermione bickering together as being not altogether unlike Arthur and Mollywobbles.
I also don't believe Sirius is dead, and I like to think that he's coming back (come on JK...DO IT!!!)

i also think that Neville will inadvertedly hear the prophecy and think that he's the Chosen One and also the Boy Who Scored, and he will attempt to do something stupid and incredibly Neville-like in his quest to impress his grandmother.
that is all.
want 7th book

Tiger Weenie

If Dumbledore doesn't come back to life and Harry doesn't defeat Voldermort and Ron and Hermione don't get together I will go back in time unread all of the other six books(adult version of course) i will take down my Hogwarths poster from over my bed, tear down my Harry wallpaper and change my Harry Potter Duvet, pillowcases and curtains. So there JK if you are reading this you will have one very dissatisified customer on your hands if it doesn't end happily ever after. Seriously though what am i gonna do when there is no more Harry Potter to read? Please help i seem to get dizzy even thinking about my life without Harry Potter books.

ron is killed and Hermone goes gagga and kills he who cannot be named, harry helps her get through it all and they all live happlly ever after, except for Ron that is who does not get to live happlly ever after due to the fact that he is dead

Greyfox

through an unholy twist of fate, Neville really IS the one. Voldemort will kill harry and Neville will kill Voldemort

Now that would be very interesting..

I think poor owl Ron will be killed off..

The main thing I want to see is Harry KILL Malfoy...that little jerk has it coming

kashi

I think Dumbledore's murder was some type of smoke screen, and that Snape is good really. Why else would Dumbledore have trusted him? We all know that Dumbledore was a wizard with his finger on the pulse and not much got past him. I certainly wouldn't put it past JK to kill Harry, but I think she will kill Ron or Arthur Weasley. I just hope I can last until July without exploding or driving everyone insane!!

kashi

Scarinae

Remember how in the Chamber of Secrets Ginny got possessed by Tom Riddle through his diary? I can't remember the phrase exactly but when Tom was explaining it to Harry he said she poured herself into the diary blah blah... Well I'm hoping that Ginny will turn out to be a Horcrux and Harry will be forced to kill her. Then he really WOULD have something to whinge about

dajaffa

Snape will turn out to be good. All that talk in the last few books about why Dumbeldore trusted Snape, we'll find out what that was and probably that at some stage Dumbeldore told him if he has to kill him for the cause to do it.

I used to have a load of other theories, I'm gonna go read 1-6 and get back to speculating then!

grumpytrousers

I think snape will be revealed to have been good - it's me own theory that he was under one of those (forget the name) unbreakable vows with Dumbledore, and did what he did at the end of book six to keep his side of the bargain.

I also - controversy ahoy - think that Draco Malfoy will be redeemed at the end of book 7; I think he'll be the usual priggish, oafish self most the way through the book and then something will happen in terms of family pressure asking him to do something terrible. He'll rebel, and join Harry et al...

the usual misunderstandings will occur, Ron will be suspicious of him, Hermione will see the potential for good in him, Harry will be confused, yeah-di-yeah-di-yeah...

can't wait for the book either way!

Scarinae

Does anyone else reckon Sirius will turn out to be evil? Professor Trelawney's prophecy specifically says that before midnight Voldemort's servant will escape - that's assumed to be Wormtail, but he escaped well before eleven at the end of the Prisoner of Azkaban, whereas Sirius escaped on Buckbeak at five minutes to midnight... I don't think she'd emphasise the time like that unless it has some significance. Also, he tried to kill Snape when they were in school together, he sent him down the passage of the Whomping Willow to be savaged by a werewolf, nice people don't do that! I reckon Snape will turn out to be good and Sirius is evil, and he'll contact Harry somehow.

Also, to state the bleedin obvious, Wormtail will end up saving Harry's life in repayment for Harry saving his...

has anyone else read ''What will happen in Harry Potter Seven?''

a mirror, eh?...
maybe it'll be THE mirror!

doonothing

i cant quite remember the halfblood prince, but horcruxes? 7? thats right innit?
surely harry'll turn out to be the last horcrux, wouldnt that explain everything? and he ends up having to make the ultimate sacrifice to bla bla christ like symbology. my religion teacher predicted this when i was in like, 2nd year. harry will hafta die to save everyone.

and no way is snape eveil, not a chance.

katarin

snapes evil.
the evidence is there, you're in denial.
he never liked harry, i think he'dve gotten over the james thing somewhat.
and harry wont die. no way in hell.

Johnny Bitte

Harry will die for sure, Snape will turn out to be good of course,
sorry if this is a spoiler to anyone but when he Killed Dumbeldore,Albus did say to him "You promised" as if he wanted snape to do it.

Dumbeldore has a master plan all along and it will come to an end in 7.

tenner bets! guaranteed. you'll see...


i was serious about the tenner bets...

The Bollox

Harry, in a way, HAS to be killed off. Not because it would be a good twist but because JK wouldn't want someone finding a loophole in the copyright and make a sequel.

I have been revising books 1 - 6 of late, I am at book 3 now and one hairbrained theory is sticking in my mind which I heard before and laughed, but it could happen: Dumbledore is Harry only much older, which would explain why Dumbledore can see Harry while he's under the invisibility cloak, in that he wouldn't have to, he was standing in such and such a place all those years ago *I realise I am making little sense so I shall stop*

however I could see the time-turner coming into play in book 7 in some way

Weren't they all destroyed in OOTP?

The Bollox

I don't think so. I remember them finding a room full of them, but I don't recall them being destroyed, although it's been a while since I read the book

Acid_Violet

Time turner? Those watches Hermione had for going to classes?

galah

after reading all the books again (in preparation ;-)) I too can't get rid of the feeling that Harry is the last Horcrux - and "one can't live while the other is alive", so Voldemort will have to kill Harry...Or the other way round...

ANyways...can't wait...roll on July 21 ;-)

Blackhorse Slim

Harry; Voldemort, you killed my father! :mad:
Voldemort; No Harry, I AM your father. Join me, and we will rule the Galaxy as father and son!
Harry; Noooooooo!!!:eek:


...or was this idea used before somewhere....?

The Bollox

I don't think so, but run as fast as you can to the patton office before it's too late

Extreme-LoopZ

She said that two people are gonna die in this book......one of the Weaselys is definately gonna die, possibly either Arthur or Ginny, and I don't know who else, maybe Neville/Tonks/Draco? Another thing....Dumbledore is dead but his portrait is in the headmasters office, I know Harry isn't going back to Hogwarts but he could go and talk to Dumbledore if he wanted......oooh where do you think Dumbledore's portrait leads to? Grimmauld Place? maybe to a Horcrux!? :eek:

January

I think the last horcrux is in Grimmauld Place....

Mushy

Dont either Harry or Voldemort have to die? So that'd leave one more person. Or is it that thats a given, and at least two others will die? One Weasely has to go, eith Ron or Ginny IMO. Looking forward to it now, hopefully it'll keep me entertained for a day or two.

The Bollox

the last horcrux is in Godric's Hollow, that's what I have my money on. that Harry will go there at the start of the book and then near the end will slap himself on the forhead and remember a suspicious looking artifact in the gaff

Extreme-LoopZ

Sorry Mushy, yeh, I'm taking it as a given that either Harry or Voldemort die, leaving two others. But that's just my interpretation, maybe she ment including one of those two.....but I think if she does it that way then the other person will be someone pretty important, like Ron or something.... we'll have to wait and see

storka

Harry has to die. End of. Jk firstly as was said doesn't want some two-bit writer coming along and ruining her work and secondly she can't just finish the book with "....and they all lived happily ever after". To complete the story Harry has to die!

And i'm prepared for it this time! Not like with Dumbledore!:D

Mushy

Yeah, it would make a lot of sense for Harry to die, but for something that kinda started off as a kids book, it'd seem so odd to kill off the person who all the kids love. Ah well, things change. Although I just cant see Voldemort surviving either.

Acid_Violet

She said on Jonathan Ross that lots of people die.

If Harry dies doesn't that mean the Voldemort will triumph?

Why are y'all so convinced that some Weasley's will die?

Mushy

We're not confused that some Weaselys will die, we're just sure that it'll happen. Its kinda predictable that at least one of them will be gone by the end.

Loads of people die eh? This book is just gonna be riddled with Harry searching for Horcruxes, and people dieing. Oh yeah, are they actually going back to Hogwarts, or is that closed now? Forget that bit.

And also, how many horcruxes are left? I know there are 7, one destroyed in Book 6, take it that one in Book 2 was also a Horcrux, were there any more destroyed?

The Bollox

thinking about it Harry may not die, it's possible she'll give a brief story as to what happens after the Voldemort fiasco and carry him up to his eventual death. but personally I don't want to see that happen and would much prefer it happen that Harry and Voldemort are fighting, when it finally dawns on Harry why he is the last horcrux (the reason why will be said in the book earlier on) and will sacrafice himself and get Ron / Hermionie / Snape / other character to deliver the final blow to Voldemort now that the last piece of his soul is him. my money's on Snape for finishing Voldemort off.

off topic: is the 't' in Voldemort silent? I heard that somewhere. it makes his name seem a lot less fearful though

Secretpint

I think at the end of the book it will be revealed that Harry dies of TB.

but no one can really saw I think JK has written something thast no one can predict, I really cant wait to read it, what does every think the Deathly Hallows are?

The Bollox

Godric's Hollow probably, Harry's parents house

lilmissprincess

I heard somewhere that Lupin dies.
And yeah, this could be a "journey" book, cos they said they weren't going back to Hogwarts if it reopened.

doh.ie

Some thoughts on Dealthy Hallows' final plots:

As for Book 7, although some of these have been discussed throughout the forums already, my predictions for the final Potter book are:

Harry will go off looking for the other Horcruxes, likely find and destroy the cup and/or locket on the way. The locket, Regulus Black's, will turn out to be the one mentioned in the 12 Grimmauld Place clean-up in OOtP - question is who has it? Kreacher (very likely - we know he will play a significant role), Mundungus Fletcher was selling items from it - even Aberforth Dumbledore could have gotten hold of it. But I do believe it will still have the Horcrux. Regulus managed to get it, but died before he could remove the Horcrux. He may also have died honorably by making this attempt to stop Voldemort.


Harry's scar *is* the final Horcrux (don't think Nagini will turn out to be one at all - that is a red herring). The reason I say scar over Harry himself is because I think Voldemort planned to make the death of Harry his final Horcrux all along. Here was the boy who was the subject of a prophecy against him - and the son of parents from Griffindor house *and* living in Godric's Hollow. Quite strong Griffindor connections there. Also, when Volemort is near, it's the scar the hurts, not Harry's whole body. (JKR said the final word in the books was at one stage, "scar" - could it be that for the first time in his life, at the end of the books, Harry no longer feels special or marked - for the first time, he is a normal wizard - with NO scar to make him stand out or in any way special.)


Related to that, is it possible that Harry *isn't* special at all -that it is Neville who will eventually eliminate Voldemort. Remember, his magical skills have dramatically improved via the DA. Technically, he was *marked* by the life he grew up with - and what happened to his parents. I know JKR said the prophecy was definitely about Harry (proven by his ability to lift the prophecy in the Ministry - if it wasn't about him, he would have gone mad.) Still, being "special" all his life has made Harry feel isolated and an outcast; the Neville connection may return in Book 7 and JKR's assurances the prophecy is not about him may be designed to throw us off. (I'm aware there are many fans who believe the prophecy is about both of them.)


Harry's mother's blood flows through him. There's a line in OOtP (I think) about Harry being safe at the Dursleys because his mother's blood flows through him and her sister. I think this is important because of the "gleam of triumph" Dumbledore had in relation to how Voldemort returned (using "blood, forcibly taken") - it may well be Harry's MOTHER's blood (though him, and which is now inside Voldemort) that will prove his undoing. (There's also the many, many mentions of Harry's mother's eyes...) Voldemort also cannot abide love, yet this now flows through him too, albeit without his knowledge.


The two-way mirror Sirius gave to Harry is too vital (and introduced with such emphasis) that there must be more to it. I don't think Sirius is alive to talk to via it, but like the Vanishing Cabinet (references scatted throughout the books up until its vital use in HBP), it will prove vital in the fight against Voldemort.

It would be aptly poetic to have the final confrontation at Godric's Hollow, but I do believe the final scenes will be at Hogwarts itself.

Snape definitely working for the Order still, and will prove to be honourable all along (may end up sacrificing himself.) I'd like to see a scene with Snape and Harry, working together, agreeing to put their differences aside. I reckon Dumbledore and Snape had previously agreed between themselves that if it became necessary, Snape was to kill him (Dumbledore) to deflect attention from his undercover missing. Likewise, I don't think Malfoy will prove to be wholly evil - his reticence to kill Dumbledore showed that. He may also fight against Voldemort in the end, a fitting lesson the book's young readers.

I'd like to see more of the Pensieve-style Riddle flashbacks in Book 7 - they were by far the most entertaining thing about HBP, and in my opinion, the entire series so far.

The Bollox

I can't wait to find out why Dumbledore trusted Snape so much. I'm sure there will be a pensive moment

so true. i was just commenting to a friend that i couldn't remember, for the life of me, bog all about what happened in book 6, but that I remembered the 'back story' being absolutely out of the top drawer...

Green Giant

Malfoy to kill Snape? I've heard the rumour going around...

Tar.Aldarion

Hagrid will die saving Harry.

Acid_Violet

Hagrid as a character has always been on a tangent to the main plot imo, kind of there to lighten things up or something, except for the few notable exceptions (buckbeak in the third book and hagrid delivering harry to the dursleys) but I find he was mainly there to fill the gaps in the plot in those situations.

not having a pop at you, now, or anything, but just as a matter of interest, considering we're talking about a book of which less is known than the dead sea scrolls, a book, indeed, that has been read by, at a guess, tops ten people on the planet, what makes you think that the half baked rumour you heard might hold any water whatsoever?

I'm not saying your source isn't good; its quite possible that you personally know a crooked lorry driver who's borrowed a consignment of them and has personally read it, but otherwise, admit it, you're just repeating a load of hoary old b*llocks.

There's nothing wrong with you stating in this thread, or any other, as far as i'd see "I think x y and z will happen", but to try and tart it up with "i've heard that x y and z will happen" is just irritating in the extreme, because whilst you *may* well have heard it, your source probably isn't reliable, and thus the words 'i've heard' become redundant...

</end rant> enjoy the book!

ps don't think snape'll be killed. I think the explanation for his actions at the end of book six will come early in book seven and he'll be more than ever working to take down Malfoy Sr et al, and perhaps getting even young Draco in on the act. I *really* do think that Draco will have his, um, shot at redemption in this book...

themont85

Harry to survive, I don't think Rowling who thought of the story on a train would have killed of the main character for a childrens book. Also looking at the way the books are written she would have to write an epilogue to finish the books definatively away from the style shes written the books.
