I think Harry is a horcrux aswell...cause when Harry didn't die in the 1st book, maybe voldemort used the horcrux spell on him but made it look like the avada kedavra curse.

Just trying to come up with something :p

    The more the movie is to the book, the better.
    Harry's attitude is really getting on my nerves these days. I liked him better when he was grateful for going to Hogwarts, so scared and timid. XD

    It's quite obvious Hermione loves Ron. Oh you know she does, they give out a thousand hints in the book.

    Yeah there have been many theories that Harry's scar could be the last horcrux and in order to destory it he has to kill himself
    I see the ending as a sad ending I just cant see Harry working at all, I can either see him dead or as having lost his magical powers :\

    I think Harry may well survive, but Hermione and Ron die.. This could lead just kidding to producing a one off sequel to the book of Harry becoming an Auroa :)

    At the end of the 7th book there shouldn't be a need for auroras, Voldemort will have been defeated and all the deatheaters would revert I expect
    It would suck for Ron or Hermione to die, I wanna know what they end up becoming :p

    OH I remember now. Dumbledore died, I think she made him die cause in real life the person who played him died..

    Her recent books have been so movie orientated cause shes written the book for the movie I think,

    Since the 2nd one, theyve been using a different Dumbledore so I cant see how an actor's death could change her opinion on the books :blink:

    Hermione ---> Librarain or quality parchment maker. Or Minister of magic
    Ron ---> Harry's Personal Assistant.

    Richard Stallman knew the ending before it was out.

    "hey, snape kills dumbledore"
    "NOOOOO you bitch! you bitch!"

    Oh, and Harry Potter sucks. Why dont they have an army of wizards find voldermort and kill him? He's the chosen one is pure bullshit. just kidding Rowling just needed some money now its just exploitation.

    Horcrux is an object in which Voldemort splits his soul into so he cannot be killed unless these horcruxes are destroyed first because each of them act as another life basically. It is thought he has made 7 of these

    Oh. Anyways, about what Rambo said saying that she made him die because the actor died in real life, that's what I said but everyone said she already wrote all the books o.o

    What Rambo said is definetly not true, she has had the story planned out since like the idea came first to her, she is definetly not going to change it because some actor died at the end of book 2 o.0

    Erm on the subject Rambo raised DD's death had nothing to do with the actor's death. just kidding got the storylines already and book 7 is not already written. If it was it wouldn't be prodicted to release in 2007. She hasn't began writing it she just knows the main plots all she has to do now is connect it together and add the inbetweens. And she also mentioned she wasn't planning to write any books on "older" Harry hinting his either going to die or she cant be bothered.
    As for Harry being a Horocrux I don't think that would be possible since voldemort lost his body trying to kill Harry. Very complicated subject but I doubt Harry is one unless just kidding wants a gay sort of ending.
    But Zaiban Your right about the curse. It sopposed to cause instantanious death but many believe Snape did a wordless curse.

    ES: Was Dumbledore planning to die?

    JKR: [Pause.] Do you think that's going to be the big theory?

    MA & ES: Yes. It’ll be a big theory.

    JKR: [Pause.] Well, I don't want to shoot that one down. [A little laughter.] I have to give people hope.

    ----------


    ES: I remember actually putting a poll up on MuggleNet asking people if they thought he was going to bite it.

    JKR: And what was the result? That's really interesting.

    ES: The majority thought he was going to die in book six — well, six or seven. Most thought it was going to be in seven.

    JKR: Really. Yeah.

    ES: It was probably 65/35, but definitely, most thought he was going to die.

    JKR: Yeah, well, I think if you take a step back, in the genre of writing that I'm working in, almost always the hero must go on alone. That's the way it is, we all know that, so the question is when and how, isn't it, if you know anything about the construction of that kind of plot.

    ES: The wise old wizard with the beard always dies.

    JKR: Well, that's basically what I'm saying, yes.

    [Laughter.]

    MA: It's interesting, because that moment — I think we all sort of felt like he was going to die as soon as he started imparting these huge swallows of wisdom.

    JKR: Mm.

    ----------


    ES: Oh, I have a question about that. When you write the books now, do you see the actors from the movies, or do you see your own characters?


    JKR: My own characters. Every time.

    ES: Their faces don’t infiltrate your head at all?


    JKR: Not at all. I still see my Ron, I still see my Harry, I still see my Hermione. I was writing them for too long before the films came out for the film images to displace what’s in my head. I was lucky in that sense. I’d lived with these characters so long, it just couldn’t have any effect. Occasionally I will — Ron/Lavender, I did kind of think of Rupert. I mean, it was always planned that way, obviously, but I would kind of emerge for a coffee break and I might have a wry smile about Rupert.

    MA: Doing that?

    JKR: Not so much doing it, he’ll be more than adequate to the task of doing it, but thinking about him attending the castings for Lavender, stuff like that. It just kind of makes you smile once you know the people who are acting it. But I really mean what I’ve said before – you would have to go a very long way to find three better-adjusted people, given what they’ve been through, Rupert, Dan and Emma. They’re incredible.


    Dumbledore is definitely dead gone dead in my opinion, just as Sirius is. However, I do think he planned it. There's a lot of hints in the book that Snape and him planned it out.

    And no, Rambo, she didn't kill Dumbledore off because of Richard Harris (original actor for Dumbledore who died). ;) She's had Dumbledore's death planned out from the moment she started writing the first book. She's had ALL the books planned out. Small details have changed, of course, from then to now, but the major plot points haven't.

    Right now she hasn't started on book seven (except for that last chapter that she's had written this whole time), but she's triple-checking her plotline. She should get started on it this month if she holds by what she posted in her website, though. ;)

    She's also said that book seven is the definite last in the story, however, she may write another charity book (like Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages) after the series to explain any plots or backstories she couldn't fit into the series, like where dementors came from, Founder stories, etc.

    Dumbledore has always said Snape is trustworthy and you wouldn't expect someone as wise as him to be wrong so yes I agree it was planned out.

    A side book would be cool! ^^ They did one with thr His Dark Material trilogy called Lyras Oxford and I think he's doing another book on Dust or something ^^

    Thats how Voldemort lost his body, it obviously take more strength to put a horcrux into a human, than it would into, a book.

    >_> he was trying to kill Harry because of the prophecy. So why in turn would he cast a killing spell and I'm pretty sure that's not the spell to make a horcrux. But we just have to wait a year and find out the truth of dumbledore and horcrux. I agree that dumbledore might not cdome back for the pure fact it's harrys stroy and he has to do it on his own. but it would be a nice finish to have dumbledore come to him when its done.

    But for someone to make a horcrux, they have to kill...

    Anyway, what I came in to say was that RAB is almost certainly Regulus Black, Sirius' little brother.
    I think this because the initials make sense in English. But, you might say, "B" is not an uncommon last initial.

    "Z" on the other hand, most certainly is. In the Dutch series of Harry Potter books, the initials are RAZ.
    Guess what? In the Dutch books, Harry's godfather is called Sirius Zwarts...
