Hogwarts may not even be open anymore in DH. And even if it is, Harry said he's going on the quest for the Horcruxes and he won't be coming back to school anyway. So unless someone mails Dumbledore's portrait to Harry, he won't see him anymore. And I read in the paper this morning that JK said, "Dumbledore is definitely dead. He won't be pulling a Gandalf and being revived." But she still hints that "wizards have ways of making themselves heard from beyond the grave," so even though DD is dead, he may still somehow appear in DH. Maybe Fawkes brings a message, or writes a message in his ashes? I honestly doubt Harry is a horcrux. Voldermort was trying to kill Harry, and that's what killed him. How could he have made Harry a horcrux if he thought he was destroying him? And also, one must live while the other dies. If Harry is the last horcrux, then killing either of them automatically means the death of the other. Here's what I think: Hermione will do the brain-work ("What's the most likely item and location for the next horcrux and why?"), Harry will do th dirty work (the actual quest, etc.), and either Neville or Ron will end up saving Harry's life at least once. Harry will have a show-down with Voldermort. Perhaps they'll both shoot out one last curse at each other, and the book will end just before they hit; we'll never know the outcome. -IMP

I think that's a pretty big assumption. Harry wouldn't go back to the school, just for a few minutes, to talk to Dumbledore if he knew he could? He was dependent on him for just about everything that had to do with Voldemort. Or not even have someone talk to Dumbledore's portrait for him? I'm not saying that he will end up talking to Dumbledore some how, but I think it's a bit extreme to assume he wouldn't talk to Dumbledore at all if there was a way that he knew he actually could, even if he's not going back to Hogwarts to finish his schooling. And we don't know for sure whether he's going to return or not. Anything can happen. I've read some pretty good arguments that he'll return, and from the opposing side as well.
I can't see J.K. Rowling ending it like that. |

I doubt J.K. Rowling would end a whole series of books on such an enormous cliffhanger. There's rumors that say she has written a small section which tells the reader what happens to the characters. At least, what happens to the main characters. |

I read that somewhere as well. I'd like an ending like that. I hate it when authors leave things unsaid at the end of a series. |

Recalling the comments about Harry dying, I've had a theory of my own (which I haven't come across yet) and it's to do with Professor Trenawley. Throughout the books she has continued to speak of her predictions that Harry will die. Of course, you could say she's an old croney and that she's useless, but a few things did stick in my mind when I was reading Prisoner. For one, she did say something about a cup breaking and, quite surprisingly, a cup did actually smash. I think it was Neville who broke it, but what's important is that Trenawley's prediction was correct. Secondly, she predicted someone leaving Divination halfway (or the like) through the year, to which Hermione did leave. And thirdly, the most important predictions we've actually witnessed, and the ones which without a doubt came true, were - a) the prophecy, which brought Harry's story alive, effectively, and; b) the prophecy-like prediction she made in Prisoner, in which she stated a servant would return to his faithful Lord - Wormtail. Now, I'm not saying Harry will die, or that I believe he will (I'm not sure either way), but I do find it very interesting that Trenawley's minimalistic and true predictions should be added to the book. |

Once again, J.K. did a good job of making everyone rule out Trelawney as a nutjob!

Auron, you also might want to check this out: http://www.leakylounge.com/index.php?showt...&st=0&p=796788& She also predicts the lightning struck tower in HBP, according to the topic poster. |

I think, while she's overly eccentric (and a little erratic :P), things do wander into her head and she clearly just spouts them out, and they can nonetheless be very accurate. And if she's predicted Harry's death a few dozen times (if not a lot more) then I think she could be onto something. Could be, I obviously can't be certain. Although very interesting and something to think about. |
