That's true, but not only because it would devastate the readers, but 
because of common sense--the books are all narrated by Harry, and how could 
he narrate it if he died? I doubt it'll be the Ghost of Harry Potter 
speaking. I used to think it would be incredibly cool if Harry died to 
defeat Voldemort--perhaps something having to do with the blood that 
Voldemort stole tied them together so much, among others things that happen 
later, that Harry killed himself to kill Voldemort. Otherwise, Harry killed 
himself to weaken Voldemort so much that Ron and Hermione, or Dumbledore, 
defeated him without using the killing curse. *sighs* >I also have my doubts

Hermione is extremelly smart and knows her spells well. She'd be hard to 
kill, once she gains a little more confidence.

True...but don't I wish it wasn't so. It would give the books such a fun 
twist. Especially if the last word 'scar' ended a sentence like 'And as 
Harry turned to smile at her, pain exploded in his scar.' Another instance 
of thinking Voldemort died, but he didn't.

Perhaps what I thought would happen with Harry could happen with Voldemort. 
Wouldn't it be lovely if Dumbledore and Voldemort were somehow related? I 
don't know how that would work, but it would just give such a...twist. 
Again. Anyhow, if they were, that's how Dumbledore could kill himself and 
destroy Voldemort.

That's so sad--I can't imagine Ginny dying! I agree that she seems like 
avital character, but I think it's more likely if she ends up as a crucial 
member of Harry's side.
