It's time for the fans of the Harry Potter series to make predictions for the 7th book. These can be anything you want, even stupid ones.

I predict that the three main characters and Ginny all survive. I don't think Harry can die because the prophesy pretty much says he lives.

I know some have made the prediction that Harry will turn out to be a Horcrux. I really doubt that will be the case as I doubt a human can become one. I wouldn't be surprised in Voldemort's snake Nagini turns out to be one though.

I bet Hagrid, Snape, Malfoy, and most of the Order of the Phoenix members die (including McGonagall).

Any other predictions?

I predict that JK Rowling will make an obscene amount of money from sales.

really going out on a limb with that one.:p

Harry almost gets lucky but the sun explodes and the earth is consumed in flame.

I predict that JK Rowling will make an obscene amount of money from sales.

It turns out to have just been a dream; Harry is still living with his crappy abusive family and is still treated as a slave. Harry is so saddened that he cries and commits suiside.

Harry and Ron finally get it on and come out of the closet.

I also predict that Harry will defeat Voldemort after realising that spells and curses are useless once you can apparate. His new tactics will be as follows:

1. Disappear.
2. Reappear 10cm in front of his opponent.
3. Stab his opponent repeatedly in the face with a large knife.
4. Disappear again before their friends turn up.

This new tactic will allow him to vanquish every single Death Eater and they'll all live happily ever after (except for the people who've been stabbed repeatedly in the face).

Holy shit, can I borrow your crystal ball to predict the outcome of the lottery?

I believe it has been stated that 2 characters not counting Harry/Voldemort eat dust. So I am going to say Snape, and Wormtail. I also speculate that when the dust clears the Malfoys are in the poor house. And Ron's dad becomes Minister of Magic.

No, it only says that neither can survive if the other one lives. Is that the fallacy of the inverse or the converse?

Sorry, but I think McGonagall will make it. Either Malfoy or Snape will die, but not both - I'm betting on Malfoy dying to save Harry, the whole redemptive aspect to the character and all, and Snape will be involved. Ginny has to make it, but I don't necessarily think Ron and Hermione have to. It all depends on if Harry does. If he dies, they are safe; if he survives, one of them or even both may not.

Lupin's a goner, but he takes Greyback with him. If McGonagall dies, Hagrid has to survive in order to become the new headmaster. Harry will take out Bella, and Mundungus will be important to finding one of the Horcruxes - he may have even filched the locket from the Black residence.

I bet Harry dies. I hope he dies. And the whole world is purged of these crappy books. Oh and no, I'm not a fan. Not a fan at all.

Holy shit, can I borrow your crystal ball to predict the outcome of the lottery?

Sorry, it takes years of training to reach my level of proficiency.

i predict that snape will turn out to be a good guy after all and that he dies saving harry who then destroys voldemort permanently.

Incidentally, am I the only one who hopes that Voldemort will win, just for the comedy value?

Harry Potter: All your Horcruxes are destroyed! Now I can finish you once and for all!
Voldemort: Dude, what makes you think a whiny, seventeen year old could possibly defeat the most powerful wizard ever?
Harry Potter: Erm.... love?
Voldemort: Noob.
*Voldemort uses Avada Kedavra on Harry*
*Harry dies*
Voldemort: LOL!!!

I find your predictions be teh win, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I'd prefer it if they would rip Voldemorts mask off and it would turn out to have been Dumbledore all along.

"And I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for you meddling kids !"

Incidentally, am I the only one who hopes that Voldemort will win, just for the comedy value?

only if he is also revealed to be harry's true father, conceived in a torrid affair and that his mother had been going to run away with V. but changed her mind when the plan was to kill the baby.

I also speculate that when the dust clears the Malfoys are in the poor house. And Ron's dad becomes Minister of Magic.
i predict that snape will turn out to be a good guy after all and that he dies saving harry who then destroys voldemort permanently.

I agree with both of you.

Except that I can't shake the suspicion that she'll really kill off Harry.
So I predict that I'll probably bawl through the last part of the book. <<

Harry dies. If he doesn't I'm going to be saddened.

But how?

It would be very funny if he gets killed pointlessly about two-thirds through, run over by a bus or something, and then Neville kills Voldemort.

Perhaps Harry could discover that Voldemort is really his father, go into a blind rage and join the Dark Side, whilst Voldemort is redeemed by Hermione (who he's about to kill) after falling in love with her. Voldemort then has to vanquish Harry (who's taken his place as Dark Lord), peace is restored, and he and Hermione live happily ever after.
Ron can't stand Hermione's final rejection, and becomes a drunk hermit, doing cheap muggle-impressing tricks for booze.

Actually, if the lines:
"You killed my father!"
"No, Harry... I am your father!"
Aren't in there I'll also be saddened.

The only way I'll be happy with the ending is if Harry dies. It would make a clean sweep! Plus he's been a whinny little bitch for the last two books. Damn I want that kid to die.

Oh, and Sirius should come back to life so him and Lupin can have hot gay sex. Because we all know they were doin' it.

I find your predictions be teh win, and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Cool, that's two people who want my newsletter. I should start one sometime. :)

I believe Ron and Hermione will get together and then later in the book will be killed by voldemort. They will die hugging each other.

Hmm, Ok, I'll give it a try.

As Harry's and Voldemorts' magics are tied together, somehow Harry finds a way to permantely nullify the magic in himself. (as Voldy is only kept alive by magic, he 'bits the dust...') Harry becomes a muggle. A sad, broken man who only knows that he is missing some vital portion of himself. The magic world keeps an eye on the now-magicalless Harry, but otherwise, they don't interfere.

Snape dies in the attempt to keep Malfoy from killing Harry. (Keeping his oath and soul in the process.) And Malfoy turns into the next Dark Lord. Who promptly goes after the Weasley family and Herimone.

Oh, and after Headmistress McGonagall, The next best known one is Nevill Longbottom. It would have been Herimone Granger, but Malfoy killed her.

I believe Ron and Hermione will get together and then later in the book will be killed by voldemort. They will die hugging each other.

ewwwwwww you could be right.

Actually, if the lines:
"You killed my father!"
"No, Harry... I am your father!"
Aren't in there I'll also be saddened.

I'd prefer:
"You killed my mother!"
"No, Harry... I am your mother!"

You're a seer aren't you Trewlaney?

i predict that snape will turn out to be a good guy after all and that he dies saving harry who then destroys voldemort permanently.

I think Snape will redeem himself than die.

He only killed Dumbledore because he made the pact with Draco's mother.

I predict that the British goverment will get tired of this whole thing and nuke the Wizarding world. The end.
OR...
Voldemort's Harry's father. Voldemort kills Harry, Ron and Hermione get married before being killed by Death Eaters, Snape falls asleep while Malfoy is combating Misistry officials and Malfoy dies, thus killing Snape, the whole Order gets wiped out, Dumbldore comes back from the dead for no reason, and Hedwig becomes the new Minister of Magic after Hagrid kills Rufus whats-his-face.
TA-DA!

I think Snape will redeem himself than die.

He only killed Dumbledore because he made the pact with Draco's mother.

all i ask is that rowling make it work. if snape has to have been a double (triple?) agent for 16 years that there be some reason besides wizard alzheimers to explain why dumbledore was so ignorant of it.

I predict...
A man in the future buys a time machine. He travels back to before Harry Potter was published when J.K. was an unimportant person writting on napkins and what not. He goes up to her:
(Lines)
Man:Hello
J.K.: Who are you?
Man: I'm from the future! And in the future, you write a bestselling childrens series!
J.K.: Really? Wow. I've had some ideas, you know, about some Wizards, who go to school and-
Man: No,no,no. In the future, your book is about...uh...a crime-fighting weasal who can, uh, shoot lasers out his bumhole!
J.K.: Great idea, I'll get started right now!
Yes, this is the "Dicks with Time Mechines" portion of a Robot Chicken show which I shamlessly stole. Feel free to slap me if you care about Harry Potter.

I predict it will be another boring mediocre book in which sells millions of copies through familiarity with the name rather then the quality of the book ... the sole redeeming value of the series is the fact that it DOES get kids to read and that I am all for

Yep.

Either that, or there will be an amusing collision in the printers works, and this and Tom Clancy's back catalogue get merged.

EDIT: I also predict more 'SHOUTING IN CAPITALS!' Depressing, isn't it.

Does anyone else have a theory on who R.A.B is? Note: He is the one who stole the Horcrux and put a fake one in its place.The horcrux that Dumbledore and Harry retrieved on the night of Dumbledore's death.
I think it's Sirius brother Regulas. Maybe that is why Voldemort killed him and not because he tried to back out.My theory is further supported because Regulas was a death eater and only death eaters call him the "Dark Lord".

I think all the main characters will die, because Rowling will take the opportunity to present the theory that Muslims are immigrating to the UK to kill us all. Hogwarts will be neutered by pro-Muslim education initiatives, while at home muggles and mages alike will be kicked out of their own neighborhoods by angry Islamisists. The whole thing will end with a fiery nuclear explosion, smoke filling the sky. People will got ZOMGWTF and it'll be a huge controversy.

repent sinners! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbIAE8QlCo0) :headbang:

It's most likely Sirius's brother. In non-english versions RAB was changed to RA[first letter of the word black in this language].

Harry is a horcrux, he will have to kill himself. The prophecy said one must die at the hand of the other. In the third book they made a big deal out of wormtail has a debt to repay to Harry for sparing his life. Silver hand, so I think that that will have some significance. There will be an explaination for Snape.

I predict - nahh, who gives a shit. These books are unendurable.

I once picked one up off a table at a friend's house and, idly reading a chapter was rather surprised to discover just how jeuvenile the writing was. In her drive to be populist, Rowling aimed low (and was right to do so) but I can't help but feel that if I'd read a Harry Potter book when I was the right target demographic, I'd've felt rather cheated by the experience. Like I was being marketed to by some bunch of cynical assholes trying to exploit my love of reading.

Rocks fall. Everybody dies.

Harry Potter will die. This will mean that there is no point to writing more harry potter books and the world is saved!

The first one was pretty good - mainly because it was a kids book. Now they're getting darker and more mature, but the writing and characterisation havent changed - its like a kids idea of an adults book.

It's time for...ZARAKON'S HARRY POTTER SEVENTH BOOK DEATH LIST!

HERMIONE, which if you'll all recall is described as...either unattractive or average looking in the books, dies when she tragically miswords a syllable in the "make this more like the movie charm", turning herself into an exploding marmot which then, true to name, explodes.

RON will accidentally overdose on the Narcotic Jinx, which he's been using on himself for the past two books to put up with Harry's bullshit.

HARRY will die in a fight to the death with Parvati Patil over Ginny's love.

PROFESSOR TREWLIANE will die from shock when she realizes she can't spell her own fucking name.

DUMBLEDORE will majestically rise from the dead, only to be hit by a wayward frisbee two seconds later, killing him.

VOLDEMORT will die in a magical accident when, overcome with grief and remorse, he attempts to magically resurrect Harry's mother.

HAGRID will die trying to track down that dragon he had in the first book. The dragon hates him for abandoning him and attacks him, killing him.

MADEYE MOODY will die when his eye finally gains a sinister intelligence and hijacks his body, obliterating his consciousness.

JESUS comes back, but Fred and George turn out to be atheists and off him.

FRED AND GEORGE die after Percy douses them with Holy Water. The holy water also destroys him.

PERCY see above

MRS. WEASELY dies when those potato looking creatures in her garden rise up and establish a socialist government.

MR. WEASELY see above

MALFOY dies by eating too much ice cream while celebrating his victory over Harry, even though he wasn't actually involved.

MALFOY (THE OTHER ONE) dies in a fist fight with Dobby.

DOBBY dies in same fist fight.

SIRIUS hahahahahhahaha he's DEAD ALREADY! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

I picked up the first book when I was eight, so I grew up with them. After you get to the fifth you pretty much have to read just to find out what happens.

I despise the Harry Potter books. If you want real fantasy read Tolkien or Salvatore, or any of the plethera of talented authors who write for the Forgotten Realms series. David Gemmell is great, too.

Harry Potter is for kids. (12 and under). Anyone older should read some real fantasy.

Hehe, down with Harry Potter!

Hermione kills Harry and Ron and then runs off with Malfoy. in the end its Nevil that saves the day.

Awesome.

I can't remember how old I was when they came out, but yeah there is a "I have to find out what happens" element to things.

I picked the first book up from the WH Smith's in Paddington Station, on my way to work when I was 19 :p

CD's Admissions No. 3: I like the Harry Potter books.

I think Snape will redeem himself than die.

He only killed Dumbledore because he made the pact with Draco's mother.

He only killed Dumbledore because Dumbledore told him to. That pleading look Dumbledore gave Snape at the end was pleading to kill him so Harry would no longer have an idol to look upto and would be the greatest wizard in the world. Snape is the good guy. Remember at the end of book 6 he tells Harry what he has to do to kill Voldemort? Tells him to close his mind and learn to keep his thoughts to himself. i.e. swot up on occlumency and leglimency as Voldemort is an accomplished leglimens.
But somehow I don't think Snape is going to get the merit he deserves. I have a feeling he will die. But i sincerely hope he doesn't.
My other thought is that these are childrens books and in kids books good always wins over evil which makes me think that Harry might just pull through.

Hehe, down with Harry Potter!

Or you could just read what you enjoy and not care what age it is meant for. How can you use the phrase "Real fantasy" its an oxymoron. Fantasy is about total fiction and whatever is in your imagination when you write it/read it. :headbang:

*sigh* As much as it pains me to admit it, I LIKE the Harry Potter books... sure, Harry himself pisses me off in a way that only Jar Jar Binks could manage, but I still enjoy the books.

Now, to business: Voldemort will NOT be Harry's father, its far too cliched and then Harry would be forced to NOT kill him... besides, you'd think Dumbledore would just tell him, he can't be as beef headed as Obi-Wan... hey, anybody else noticing the star wars parallels?

Sorry.

Ron and Hermione were ALWAYS going to get together, it was unavoidable come the second book, and they won't get separated or killed... they are the un-questionable good guys in the story, always have been.

Ginny will be fine. The end.

Snape will be good, he always has been, he killed Dumbledore KNOWING that he would still be able to communicate through the paintings in the headmasters office, and tell everyone what a swell guy Snape really is. He will kill most of the Death Eaters, or at least distract them so Harry and Voldy can duke it out.

Harry will end up killing Voldy, but at great cost to himself... maybe his left hand will get withered and burnt like Dumbledore's, or maybe lose all his magical powers, or something like that.

Neville will kill Draco, but be horrified at what he did and so be out for the rest of the book, huddling in a corner, rocking back and forth going "...what have I done, what have I done?..."

Harry, Hermione, and Neville will move in with the Weaseley's, Mr. Weasely will become Minister for Magic, Mrs. Weasely will get some job at Hogwarts, Macgonnigal (sorry, I can never remember how to spell it... yeah, i know, i suck) will become headmaster, the school will be reeling from all the deaths to staff and students, but will push through to a glorious new age... blah blah blah.

Booyakasha.

Everyone dies in a brutal, bloody massacre. :)

Harry and Voldemore both 'die'.

it's been said that a part of Vordemort went into Harry, and a part of Harry is now in Vordemort. thus the prophecy "neither will live unless the other dies." a new person will be 'born', one who isn't 'Harry' or 'Tom Riddle'

Snape will die protecting Draco from Vordemort, and Snape will provide Harry with a clue he will need.

in the end, Hermione will become a teacher at Hogswort and Ron will join the ministry. both will be together in a relationship.

Harry/Vordemort will both dissappear in the final battle. and Harry will become, once more, a legend.

Everyone dies in a brutal, bloody massacre. :)

Neville finally snaps.

Any other predictions?

At the beginning of the book, Dobby will suddenly turn into an odd cocoon. Every major character will stand around, spending 450 pages talking about what they think will come out of the coccon. The cocoon finally opens, and THIS (http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/2/20/250px-Nibbler_(futurama).jpg) pops out and eats everyone.

...and then poops out dark matter. End of book.

I know! That's why I snickered at the end! Although I do consider Tolkien and the other authors I mentioned several steps above the Harry Potter books...

Or that, that works too.

Hagrid dies.

I read the first one. I do not think I was ever immature enough to read this garbage and I predict that I will not read this one either.

Meh, I'll just wait for the movie.:rolleyes:

Oh, and Sirius should come back to life so him and Lupin can have hot gay sex. Because we all know they were doin' it.

Kinky. Of course, you've got to ask yourself in what form... :eek:

I'm pretty sure some important people will die, but I don't think Harry will.

For all the Harry-hating people, well, I didn't want to read it at first, too much buzz about it. But then I was struck in Caracas airport with no book to read, and my crappy spanish.. So I bought Harry Potter tome one in spanish, thinking "it's children book... I should be able to understand it", and I did, and I enjoyed it enough to but the next ones. My favorite one is the 5, the Order of the Phenix, I love the whole revolt against the ministry of magic, but that's probably because of my political ideas ;) And somehow, Harry's stance against this women remind me my own stance against some of my teachers during Gulf War or during opposition to Juppé in 1995. Luckily, I didn't get anything craved in my hand...

Well, it's not the greatest books ever, but the background is rich, the characters interesting and nice (even if a bit silly sometimes), and there are some surprises. But there a few inconsistencies that spoils it a bit (at least for a roleplayer like me, who as a game master does his best to prevent inconsistencies). As another poster says, "apparating" is too easy and poweful, while nearly never used before... and wizards not using muggles stuff like guns and explosives is also weird (I would be Voldemort, I would have killed Harry with a gun, so I'm sure no "love magic" would protect him).

Kinky. Of course, you've got to ask yourself in what form... :eek:

Brings forth a whole new meaning of "doggy style".

Ron Weasly is a goner. It was forshadowed in the first book when He sacrificed himself in the wizard's chess game on the way to get the sorcerers stone. Besides, he's too stupid to live. He deserves a Darwin award.

Everybody dies.

Dobby goes on a rampage with a wand (proving elves are dangorious with wands!) and kill everyone, except Harry, who stops him by shoving a sock up his ass. Voldy comes and kills Harry, who uses Dobby as a shield, but Voldy commits suicide because he loves Harry. ....I just realised this whole thing is pointless. I'm gonna go cut my wrists or something.

I read the first one. I do not think I was ever immature enough to read this garbage and I predict that I will not read this one either.

Well that is an intelligent and mature statement if I ever heard one! ;)
