Kathryn:  As I said in a post, maybe even
yesterday...why would Mr. Diggory's death be hard to
write, we've seen him what? 3 times in the entire
series (The Weasley's fire place, the Quidditch World
Cup, and after Cedric's death).  He is so much less
significant to the plot than Cedric was.  Since JKR
specifically said that this book would have a hard to
write death, I assume that it must be someone more
significant to the plot than Cedric was.

"I don't see what you need an owl for in school
anyways besides the mail. I don't think I would
appreciate being turned into a pumpkin or poisoned." 

Kathryn:Isn't getting mail important enough? I'm
pretty sure that's one of the main reasons kids have
owls.  I don't think the school would have an Owlery
if alot of students didn't want to bring owls.  And
what are you talking about being turned into a
pumpkin?

"No Weasleys will die in any of the books. No one
important will unless it's for a good cause. It would
be stupid to kill off anyone except for Dumbledore 
or Harry."

Kathryn: Well *obviously* Harry wouldn't die until
book 7, cause it would be sorta hard to have "Harry
Potter and the...." without Harry Potter.  And I
totally disagree that no one important will die. 
Voldemort really wants to kill Harry, so if he can't
get to Harry, I think he'll probably try to hurt him
by harming or killing people close to him.  Of course
Harry will be sad if anyone dies in the war, but I
seriously doubt JKR is so childish that she'll avoid
killing anyone important.  It doesn't add to the story
to kill off characters we've only met a couple times. 
To really affect the story it has to be someone who's
usually there, and then isn't.

Or, they(Harry and Voldemort) will both have to die at
the same time and the WW will be destroyed and Harry
will wake up with his parents, no magic, just a happy
family.

Kathryn:
I won't say this is completely impossible, but I think
it would be a truely dissapointing ending.  For
everything to just be over.  And there would be so
many loose ends to tie up.  Would it mean everyone was
non-magic now? Would Dumbledore die because he's now a
150 year old muggle?  Would it be like the WW ever
existed? Would R/H/H know each other or would it be
like none of that ever happened?

Or better yet, he will end up in the future. Hermoine
and Ron with him. I think that Ron is going to have to
find someone else. Hermoine should be with  Harry, and
if not, Harry and Cho will have something going on and
she will die. 

Kathryn: 
Ending up in the future like, we skip ahead to the
future, or like "Back to the Future" where they get
sent to the future as they are and they're still young
and everyone else is old?  And I think that most of
the clues point to a H/H friendship and a R/H romance.

And, I must have deleted it but at some point there
was something about Harry being REALLY powerful.  I
disagree.  If Harry was such a powerful wizard, why
did it take him so long to learn the patronus charm? 
And how come he can't see anything in the crystal
ball? He has shown that he is not AMAZING at his
practical exams, so I don't see evidence that he has
some sort of stonger magical power or ability than
others.

Me again:

Now to explain what I meant with the powerful wizard fact is this. If I have 
a 200 IQ (assuming we all use IQ to test intelegence) and decide to study 
physics before I learn to read, things will be quite difficult. As well, If I 
tried to do linear algebra before I tried addition. It doesn't mean that 
Harry is any less powerful if he has to spend some time working on things. 
The Patronus charm is far advanced probably past the N.E.W.T.s, so the fact 
that he even conjured anything his first try and in the end he actualy 
prduces something shows that there is a little more power than elementary 
magic. As well, the whose Prioro Incantem at the end of the GoF shows that 
his power matches Voldermorts. Dumbledore said that Harry had gone shoulder 
to shoulder with a full grown wizard, not to mention the second most 
powerful, if not the most powerful, wizard in the world.

There has to be something underlying all this that gives Harry such power. 
He's not book smarts, but he seems to do pretty well with duels and the like. 
He seems to know how to defend himself, Gryffindor instinct. Think of 
Hermoine as a witch with a 200 IQ and a 50 WQ (Wizarding Quotient) and Harry 
with a 150 IQ (he's not stupid) and 500 WQ. The reason why hes not the best 
student, but he knows how to get the job done. As well, Harry has a 100 PQ 
(Premonition Quotient) which puts him way ahead of Hermoine and these books 
are not Hermoine Granger and the Philosopher's Stone.
