I haven't read this thread as I'm still reading the last book, I will keep an eye on it though. If I have time this weekend I'll try to finish it!

I think Harry will survive and become the Dark Arts teacher...

I'm not a Snape fan. I have discussed this topic to death with my dad, but he hasn't conviced me that Snape isn't evil. Why'd he take the Unbreakble Vow in the first place? That's what I want to know.
Who dies? Percy. Only way the git is going to redeem himself. Maybe Ginny, but that would make me sad and I just can't see it. I've thought Ron would get it before Ginny. Especially as Ron is going with him. Snape (whether as punishment or some way to redeem himself is yet to be seen) Malfoy (maybe that's just wishful thinking)
Not Harry, though. If he kills Voldemort, it means he gets to survive. "For neither can live while the other survives." Which means once one dies, the other can go about his business.
No, Harry is going to become the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts. I've always been sure of that.
*edit* so many posts in front of me already! I love the theory about the chess game...

Yes...but that would be the point. He and Ginny got together...Harry broke it off because he didn't want her to get hurt...she still manages to get hurt (I.E. DEAD) in the end. Basically would drive Harry to do the "Aveda Kadavara"
You have to mean it for it to work. And if Lord V killed off Harry's sweetie...he would definetly mean it.

I also loved it when they got together. I cheered.
Maybe he'll think she's dead and that'll drive him crazy enough to kill, and then she'll just be injured badly and they'll be able to be together.
Okay, my romantic side is coming out.

Damn! Now I'm going to have to clean out boxes until I find these and reread them! I actually liked them enough that when I heard that the UK version of one of the books had a misprint that got into the first edition, I went onto Amazon.uk and bought it, even though I had a preorder for the US version.
I will say this: I am looking forward to the next book, but we may all be surprised. I heard one of my favorite authors speak once, and she said that she was never sure where the characters in her books were going until they got there, and sometimes it surprised her where they ended up (that is Madeline L'Engle, BTW).
So who is he?
He's my husband.
Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!

You know honestly...I did thin of Ron first. I did...but the more I thought about it the more I was like...no...Ron's going to get hurt....probably protecting Hermione...but I just don't think Jo has the heart to kill him off. Love the idea about Percy though. Stupid Git. I hope he does bite it. Course he's not a main character so him dying wouldn't be a big deal (well, to the Weasley's but that's another story)
I'm going to have to disagree with you with the Harry one. Even Jo has hinted of offing Harry. They have an article on it at mugglenet.com She was asked some questions and sort of eluded to the fact that Harry is offed in the end.

Agreed fan...but Jo has had the last chapter locked away from some time now. She did mention that One character got a reprive. Who, we can't be sure.

Now, I wrote a little something about HP grown up. Not the DADA teacher, but an Auror. With a snarky, trench-coat wearing partner.
Imagine - The look - Neo meets Martin Blank - on a cool flying motorbike, big sword slung over the shoulder, wand in a spring-loaded wrist holster under the leather jacket.
And his partner, leaning casually back and cleaning his nails with a silver athame, all sleek elegance from his blond hair down to the tips of his silver-buckled boots, grinning nastily round a cigarette, and wearing a very cool dragonhide trenchcoat (the real John Constantine meets Spike, with a touch of Corinithian)
"Remind me why I have to work with you again?"
"Because we scare the s**t out of everyone else."

OK, found the locket reference! It must have been Regulous, then!
(frustrated grammar teacher coming out) The word is "allude". She has alluded to a possible Harry death, but I think she's just winding us up. She hasn't said one way or another.
Hopefully we'll know by this time next year.

"Goblet of Fire"? There's a misprint in the first US edition of that.
