Here's where you post your theories on what will happen in Deathly Hallows! ;D
What is the significance of the title? What will become of the school? Who will live, and who will die? Most importantly, will our lovely ship sail? lol Tell us what you think.

ok...so last year i predicted DD dying and Min becoming headmistress and i was right..go me! so this year...Deathly Hallows to me seems to imply that there is a place that obviously signifies death or so... or people who can be or are hallows as the word mean 'holy/sacred', so sacred people who have died, like Harry's mum, who we apparently will learn about more, and perhaps DD and his past(with Min ^_^) i think im expecting Harry to die, its obviously possible...perhaps Snape, we hopefully will learn more about him...we are to know about teachers' lives (Min/Albus  )...and the school can possibly stay open, cos it Min's turn to shine and run the place( go MIN!)... thats all i got for now |

I'm still on the fence aout Hogwarts being open. My heart says it has to be open, the wizarding world needs it and of course it would be Min's time to shine, however I'm trying to imagine how it could open in the middle of a war with it's imensely popular headmaster having just been murdered on it's ground my one of the teachers...I guess Im just being really indescisive right now

well someone has to...I think it would be great if it was Min...like HArry goes to kill him and she intervenes or something...heehee, but he has to die...maybe he'll redeem himself and save harry by jumping in front of a spell or something...I really don't think she would let him live through to the end of the series...HArry can never truely forgive him unless he dies saving either himself or one of the trio, and that would be proof that he is on their side
though vengeful Min is still a nice thought

I think I believe that Snape will die, but I'm not entirely certain. It would be really great if Min could avenge Albus's murder by killing Snape or something, but knowing JK it probably won't happen.  However, with JK saying she'd reveal which professors are married (she did say that, correct?), I'm pulling for ADMM! After all, they're the most logical match, if you ask me.  |

Voldermort will be defeated, because otherwise the series really couldn't end. Snape will die, either supporting the Ootp or the DE because even if he is good, he can't really make a life for himself in society because everyone would hate him. I haven't given much thought to all that will happen during the book itself, but I have some ideas about the epilogue JKR said she would write. I think that Ron and Hermione will get married and that Neville will become the Herbology professor.  I say this because JKR was quoted a while back as saying that one of the students would teach at Hogwarts (everyone says "Hermione!") and that it wouldn't be the one you would expect (everyone says "ok then, not Hermione."). Anyway, those are some of my ideas, I may come up with more stuff later. |

If it is Neville, which is possible, than professor Sprout would have to be killed...probably. I don't think Ron and Hermione will get married at the end. They're too young for it, aren't they? I know Harry's parents were married about the same age, I just think it's way too early. |

Not at the end of the book...JK said she would write an epilogue for what happened to the characters afterwards

Harry could teach at Hogwarts as well. He's already done it with DA so he has some experience. That would mean he'd survive Book 7 but if he taught DADA something bad would probably happen to him anyway.

I think that Neville will become the Hogwarts teacher, Minerva and Aberforth will tell Harry about Dumbledore's past, Minerva and Luna will die, Snape will redeem himself, and Harry will kill Voldemort, but die himself.

Well, I see that no one has posted to this thread in a while, but with the release of the cover art, I thought I'd try to revive it *grin*, or at least post my own predictions. (I scrolled through really fast so I didn't see any of the others, although I doubt my predictions are original!) Aberforth Dumbledore will play a greater role than he has in the previous books. One of Harry's Muggle relatives (either Petunia or Dudley) will have some kind of surprising role to play. Hagrid will either die or be terribly injured, probably mid-way through the book. Severus will be killed. He will turn on Voldemort before that, doing something that helps Harry & the Order. Filch and Pince will make another appearance together. *grin* Someone in the Weasley family will die. (There are so many of them, what are the odds of them all coming out alive?) Percy will turn out to be . . . I don't know, actually, but I think he will have some key role to play. I'm worried about the Ministry for Magic effing things up for Harry & co. We will learn more about why Voldie/TR is doing what he's doing (and if it's really about "blood purity," I'll eat my hat -- I think he's just using all the pure-bloods and exploiting their weakness [which is what any racial prejudice is]). Anyhooo, my two Knuts worth!  Now I'm going back to read everybody else's predictions. |

I think Harry would be killed by Voldy. After the cover art came out I thought of that as a possibility. Harry would find all seven hoxcruxes. |

Hogwarts will probably stay open. And I have this feeling that Molly Weasley is going to die.

ek! Not Molly!
I do think that one of the Weasleys will die, but I think it will be Charlie, or Percy *is hopeful*. Bill and Arthur have already been injured in the books, so I don't think she would kill them, and Molly is the head of the family so I don't think she will die either. Ginny and Ron will live so that they can marry their respective partners and if one of the twins died, they would both have to die because it would be cruel for one to live w/out the other.
And yes, Argus and Irma will live happily ever after *tries not to plug her own Argus/Irma fic...fails* lol
I do want to see more of Aberforth and I'm sure we will, I'm just not certain what kind of role he will play.

I have somehow had the sinking feeling that Molly Weasley might actually die, too. She always worries so much about her family and thinks about her husband and children dying, but what if it wasn't them but her? In terms of heartbreak her death would be it for me ...
Minerva could be another character we might see die - but for any true ADMM shipper who believes in any sort of afterlife that wouldn't be so bad now, would it? At least she would be reunite with Albus ...
Other predictions:
We will find out why Snape looked at Dumbledore with "revulsion and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face" before killing him. If Severus had taken pleasure in killing Dumbledore he would have smirked! And I'm sure that Dumbledore let Snape read his mind in that situation, too.
We will HOPEFULLY find out why Dumbledore trusted Snape so much. I just don't want to believe that Dumbledore was mistaken.
As for the rest of it - I simply don't know. Whatever the outcome will be, I'll be happy - but I'd be happier if Severus wasn't evil and ADMM was confirmed!
Regarding the book title:
I wager that "Deathly Hallows" refers to people. Maybe we will find out that some people who have been acting like saints before are really not so saintly, but rather deathly (as in deadly) instead ...

I doubt Snape will live long. Hopefully, Minerva will kill him and have a chance to get revenge on Umbridge.

Omgosh, I've just begun rereading HP and the OotP again, and, well, I know it's a stretch- a very BIG stretch- but has anyone ever considered the fact that Ms. Figg and Minerva may be related?! The idea first popped in my head when I was reading about her love of cats, but I was really surprised when I read, "... and her feet were halfway out of her tartan carpet slippers." Yes, I know cats and tartan are pretty ordinary things, but hey, this is J.K. Rowling's world we're talking about here!!

Yes, I know cats and tartan are pretty ordinary things, but hey, this is J.K. Rowling's world we're talking about here!! I suppose that's possible. I think Arabella has more of a role to play, as well. After all, she kind of looked after Harry when he was growing up, so it would seem natural that she would play a role in helping him in the final book. My latest "favorites" (meaning that I think they're likely, not that I want them to die) for the two deaths that will upset a lot of readers: 1. Snape 2. Hagrid 3. Ron 4. Sprout It's not so much that I think Sprout is a particularly beloved character at the moment (we don't see her a lot in the books) (sorry, OSUSprinks), but if the common theory that Neville goes on to teach at Hogwarts is true, Sprout has to leave for some reason (if he teaches Herbology, which seems reasonable). If Ron doesn't die, my next Weasley candidate is Percy, followed by Molly. I still think that a Weasley will die. I will be happy if I'm wrong. I am also sure that my stories, particularly "Resolving a Misunderstanding," will be completely canon-shafted, especially Albus's history, but I'll still finish "Resolving a Misunderstanding." Unless DH depresses me so much I can't look at anything HP-related. I had hoped to have it finished before Book 7 came out, but I don't think I'll manage it. Oh, and news for those who have been reading "An Act of Love," I've written more of it, and should have an update for that story within the week. I've worked on "RaM," as well, but haven't gotten the crucial "ball scenes" written yet, and I don't want to start an online riot by posting only half the next chapter and not getting to the crucial scenes everyone's been waiting for! LOL! |

I think it would be hilarious if Lavender or Parvati became the teacher--Divination Teacher, that is!
For the record, I am a Snape fan, and I believe JKR has hinted somewhere that Snape is not evil (though thoroughly unpleasant, obviously).
Also, remember that Hagrid heard Snape arguing with Dumbledore, Dumbledore telling Snape that "he had promised he'd do it" or something like that. I think it was definitely planned.
I wonder why so few people consider the possibility that Hermione will die. I think she is highly likely to die. Virgin sacrifice (killing of an innocent young woman) is a common theme in mythology, one that usually takes place at the beginning and/or end of a war (ie: Iphigenia and the Trojan War), and JKR seems to use a lot of mythological motifs in HP.
As for the marriage, I really do think it will be AD/MM, or possibly JKR is referring to the marriage of Hagrid and Maxime, which I think is highly likely.
I don't think Snape will die. Snape is, above all else, an expert at saving his own skin. He is cunning, to say the least, and a survivor. People like that just refuse to die.
I also think it's possible that one of the Weasleys will die (possibly Mrs. Weasley). She is the last real parent figure that Harry has, and JKR seems determined to make him a true orphan. Also, she is most definitely a representation of the goddess, and it has been shown in mythology that spending too much time with the goddess can result in nasty things, including the goddess turning on you (not likely) or else death/deception of some party involved.
Jeez, I've been reading too much Joseph Campbell.
She might get rid of one of both of the twins. Comic relief has been known to be killed off (think Rosencrantz and Guildenstern). The twins also have two things Voldemort despises when used against him: extreme cleverness and bold irreverence. Weren't there also a pair of brothers who were aurors that were killed during the first war (their names escape me at the moment). JKR tends to like repeating history (ie Ginny/Lily parallels).
Sorry, I know this post is everywhere. I'm just kind of rattling off ideas.

I think Molly's a big target. The Prewetts were a big target and her twin brothers Fabian and Gideon died.
JKR said that some professors are married but keep it a secret and the only marriage that I think it'd be important to keep a secret would be AD/MM so I'm really hoping thats going to come up.
I think Snape was in love with Lily. this just seems to make sense to me for some reason. JKR said that Snape is capable of love. This is just a guess but I think that Snapes worst memory is his worst memory because in that memory he calls Lily a mudblood when all she was trying to do was help him. I don't think its because the Marauders were messing with him since they were always messing with him.
I dunno if that all makes sense but thats what i think.
