Question:

Who do you think will die?

i heard that someone in harry potter will die. aside from voldemort, who do you think it will be.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: In Book 7? Oh, boy.

Who I Think Won't Die:
Harry- JKR has NO reason to kill Harry. By killing off this beloved protagonist, she's sending a message that the only way to defeat evil is to sacrifice yourself. Plus, even if Harry's a Horcrux, I'm sure there's a way to destroy Voldemort's soul (say... the scar?) without killing himself. Hermione will find a way. :)
Ron and Hermione- No. Just. No. JKR will not have these two FINALLY get together and then just kill them off. Wrong, wrong , wrong!
Ginny- JKR's alluded to Ginny being Harry's soulmate in several interviews, most notably in the famous Mugglenet/TLC interview. I don't think that she would kill either member of this pair off if they're soulmates. A short romance during high school doesn't entitle a couple to soulmate material. Plus, I think Ginny's got a lot more to her character that we just don't know about yet. She's far too similar to Lily, and Harry to James, and by letting these two live, it's showing that there are ways to be in love and survive. Does that make sense?
Fred and George- JKR has provided them with a future throughout the novels. The money, their humor, the store, etc. I don't think she'd kill them off. Plus, they're needed for laughs.
Neville- Will kill the Lestranges. Will prove himself beyond all belief. Poor Neville. It would be so unfair, after all the misery he's been through, to kill him. He'll live a long and happy life afterwards.
Luna- Sort of like Neville, she can prove that you can be a bit off-beat and still be just as strong and worthy as anyone else.

Who I think Will Die:
Voldemort- The series cannot end until he dies.
Hagrid- Sadly, it's Hagrid's time to go. His role throughout the novels has slowly diminished over time, and he is the last parental figure to Harry. That doesn't bode well- look at Harry's parents, Sirius, and Dumbledore...
Mrs./Mr. Weasley (one or both, though I hope that they live)- Parental figure thing. Shows that Harry has to survive without parental guidance.
Lupin (maybe)- The only reason he'd survive would be for Tonks. Otherwise, in death, he will join his best friends.
Pettigrew- Scoundrel. Either death or a terrible, miserable existence that is worse than death.
Snape- He'll turn out to be good at the last minute and then sacrifice himself or something like that.
Percy- Oh, something's definitely up with Percy. Perhaps the Imperius Curse? Something is behind his behavior for sure, and after it's revealed, he'll die.
Lucius Malfoy- Either that or Azkaban or something worse than death.
Lestranges- Ditto.
Draco Malfoy- Now, this is interesting. Draco's so weak that I think he may be killed by Voldemort. He didn't complete the task, he's proven himself to be weak for the dark side, and sadly, he's not a strong enough person to join forces with the Order.

Those are the characters whose fates I'm reasonably sure of.
