[HPforGrownups] Should Harry Potter die?

[Donna Rae]

No: HPFGUIDX 1972

I'm sorry, I disagree.  Seven years to become a wizard and then he dies?  No, I don't think so....I don't really think readers would react positively to that.  I know I wouldn't.

This is only IMO...

  Do you think Harry Potter will die at the end of book 7? Rowling has 
  already said she doesn't plan to continue the series after 7 so at 
  that point she really won't have any further use for him. I bet she 
  bumps him off. She doesn't seem too squeamish to do so, when they 
  make the movie of Goblet of Fire they'll have to tone down that 
  ending or it'll get a R rating, or worse. She'll probably have him 
  produce Harry Potter junior first, just in case, that way if she 
  changes her mind in a decade or two she can still write about a 
  magical little boy named Harry Potter. Arthur Conan Doyle didn't make 
  any precautions when he killed off Sherlock Holmes and a few years 
  later when he decided it was a big mistake he had to write an awkward 
  saved by a miracle story. 

  Would this be a good idea, should Harry Potter die? I think so, a 
  tragic hero gives stories a grandeur they wouldn't otherwise have, at 
  least that's what the ancient Greeks thought. I'll tell you one 
  thing, somebody important is going to die, if it's not Harry then Ron 
  is a dead man. 

  I'm betting that in book 5 Sirius Black and Ron's dad the new 
  Minister of Magic Arthur Weasley will die, in book 6, Neville 
  Longbottom, and Dumbledore will die, Harry's owl will die too but 
  Dumbledore gives Harry his Phoenix in his will. In book 7 I think 
  Harry Potter will die, Voldamore too. Rowling has already said there 
  will be more deaths and the next books might be even darker than 
  Goblet of fire, and that's pretty dark.
