To me it seems certain that JKR is going to kill Harry Potter in book
seven, due to three solid reasons:
1. In interviews with JKR, she has made it clear that the book
series will end with book 7.
(www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/potter/jk_interview2.shtml)
(Interviewer quote, 'And how vital is Book Four in the 7 book series
for Harry?' JKR quote, 'Crucial. Book Four's a very very VERY
important book. Something very important happens in Book Four. But
also, it's literally a central book.') Why would JKR make book 7 the
last? Because she's going to kill off Harry.
2. We also know that the last word of book 7 will be 'scar' (subject
to editers change). I have done a little resurch and am certain it
will read something like, 'Harry Potter, the greatest wizard of all
time with the lightening bolt scar.' Why would she write a summery of
Harry at the end of the book? I think this is because she is
summerising harry's life when he was alive.
3. The death of harry will lead to the death of further Harry Potter
books. So that we wont wonder what happens in the future. If Harry
was to die then the reader wouldn't care (as much) about what life
will be like after Hogwarts for Harry and his friends. IE- jobs,
deaths, marrage etc...
I have only one set back to my theory that Harry Potter will die.
1. JKR may be trying to make us believe that he will die, in the hope
to shock us in book 7 when Harry lives).
This is my opinnion anyway - and in my mind, i have no dought that
Harry will come out alive in the end of book 7.
