So what do you guys think will be happening in the 7th and final book of the Harry Potter series? Who do you think is going to live or die? Who do you think is R.A.B.?

As for me: There's no doubt in my mind that R.A.B. is Regulus Black, Sirius Black's younger brother that defected from the Death Eaters and died. And odds are that Locket Horcrux is within No. 12 Grimmauld Place.
 
SPOILERS: Harry vs. Voldemort to the death!!!!!!!!!!!!! o.o o.o o.o XD Ok, bad joke.

Evidently, a death happens in this book that JK felt was so crushing it needed a help line. Fingers are pointing to at least one of Harry's closest friends. Pretty much anyone with a brain has guessed Regulus Black as the writer of the note. There's a lot Harry has to do to get where he's going, though, and I'm not sure if the Order is going to be too keen on letting Harry go loose. He is going to need their resources to find the Horcruxes, though. Snape good or evil? I'm going coin toss just so that people don't lynch me. At any rate, Snape has Harry's number and I don't know how he is going to beat him if he has to face him.
 
Everyone will die. Rocks will crush them.
 
Neville will defeat Voldemort during an epic battle between Harry and Voldemort.
 
Bah, I have a very out there idea of what's gonna happen: Harry and Voldemort are about to have their final battle, but it turns out Snape's been playing everyone for fools and he's just been using Voldemort and Dumbledore to gain more power. Harry and Voldemort form a temporary truce to stop Snape, and for some reason I haven't decided yet, Voldemort blocks an attack aimed for Harry, which kills him. Voldemort's sacrifice gives Harry the same protection his mother gave him, which effectively allows Harry to kill Snape.
 
No no no. Gilderoy Lockhart was the mastermind all along. He used a Time Turner to go into the past, kill Tom Riddle, and steal his power so that he could make everything FABULOUS! Then he used a polyjuice potion with a dash of snakeskin to pose as a new character named "Voldemort", popping up randomly between the years to start a complex series of crisis so that he can market beauty and bath products in the future, and thus achieve total world domination. The real Snape was actually good, but was killed and replaced by Lockhart after book 2, in which he fakes memory loss so he can be "sent to St. Mungo's". The Lockhart in the hospital is actually Gilderoy's twin brother, Gilderay, who was lobotomized to take his place.

In the final battle, Harry will give him unsightly combination skin, thus utterly defeating him forever more.

Why would Neville be fighting Voldemort? Getting rid of Bellatrix Lestrange would be Neville's top priority.

As a matter of fact, I think Neville will rise on top of Bellatrix in Book 7.

And Zeta what you said was a bunch of nonsense!
 
You'll be singing a different tune after Hermione and Ron are boiled down to make hand lotion and scented lavender candles.
 
Zeta wins. :D

Well, I'll be dropping off the internet the day before the release to avoid spoilers and won't come back until I've finished it.

R.A.B. is Regulus without a doubt.

It needs to be a happy ending. Bittersweet ending, maaaaaybe as long as it doesn't hit home too hard. I want everyone major to live. :( Except, you know, Voldemort.

So who wants to bet S.P.E.W. will be a success? And Luna becomes Headmistress of Hogwarts? BD
 

Thank you for that little slice of happy. Personally, I think the entire series will be ruined if the final line in This Clip is not utilized.

Evidently, a death happens in this book that JK felt was so crushing it needed a help line.

Seriously? Seriously. Well where the f*** was my help line for how Mostly Harmless ended?! :conangry:
 
I won't be getting it here...but I want to know all the spoilers from this book...I haven't read any books since the 4th one...but I want to just know what happens...without actually reading it.
 
I've stopped speculating what will happen and I'm going to avoid possible spoilers like the plague. I'm going to go for a ride with an unknown destination with this book. Just like I did with books 1-4. Getting all shocked over Cedric in GoF was so much fun. I imagine I'm going to be flailing like crazy after I finish this book. Whatever happens. I don't care anymore. Jo wants the readers to enjoy the ride? Then so help me Primus, I'll enjoy the friggin' ride.

(Snape is more awesome than all of you, that's probably the only thing that's certain. Probably Regulus too.)
 
I'm surprised that no one has bothered to say that they think "Harry Potter is going die because he's a Horcrux and the only way to defeat Voldemort is to destroy his Horcruxes."

Well, I have an argument to partially disproves that theory: Dumbledore managed to remove the Horcrux-spell off of Sytherin's ring without COMPLETELY destroying it. Odds are that Peter Pettigrew might provide a way to remove the Horcrux spell from Harry Potter (provided of course that he is one) without killing him.

Keith Olbermann from Countdown recently gave a similar theory, but he also said that Harry, instead of going the commercially suicidal route by dying, would lose his magical powers after Snape pops in and tells him of a way to stop being a Horcrux other than by killing himself (which he was just about to do).
 
Yeah, Keith Olbermann needs to get a clue. I heard that as well. Harry is not going to become a muggle . . why would that happen?

I'm kind of iffy on the whole "Harry is a horcrux" ordeal because I really don't see why he would be. I mean, it could always be unintentionally . . but whether or not Voldemort planned to make him a horcrux, DEFINITELY not. Voldermort set out to kill Harry . . so why would he put a piece of his soul into a baby's corpse? No logic there at all.

Of course, if Harry is a horcrux then I bet there is going to be someway to dodge around it without killing him. All though, man, I hope Harry dies.

Then we'll have lego sets: "Harry's funeral! Hermione comes in a stunning black veil!"

Someone told me that the ending was going to be (FALSE BUT I'LL PUT IN SPOILERS ANYWAYS):
that Draco kills Voldemort
and I was just like "UHHHHHHH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" the chances of that happening is basically .000001%
 
I have a bigger hole: JK has very well established that one spell cannot do two things at once. If Voldy did Avada Kedavra on Harry, then how in the world did it turn into a Horcrux spell? True, a murder is needed to activate the Horcrux spell, but plainly the spell is a separate one from the Killing Curse. It doesn't add up. Of course, Harry's scar is a unique phenomenon in the magical world. I still think the connection he has to Voldemort is the only side effect that thing has.

Anyway, I've been wondering why did Dumbledore wait until Harry's sixth year to put Snape in the DADA position? I think it means something.
