On Ceefax this morning Daniel Radcliffe  said he thought Harry
 would die as he and Voldemort share the same core which you see in 
 the  4th movie.
  I cannot think what in book 4 would equate to this observation, 
does anyone have any ideas?


Becki's thoughts;

He is refering to the re-birthing scene in the graveyard when they, 
(Harry and LV) are dueling.  Because the wands are brothers, (the 
core being from the same phoenix tail feather, Fawlks), (BTW, only 
the cores are the same, Harry, Holly/11inches, LV Yew/13 1/2 inches, 
SS).) they malfunction, causing the "Priori Incantatem" spell to 
take effect, (see GoF p.696 Am Vers.)  I think he believes that 
because the wands will malfunction when used in conjuction with each 
other that it will be an 'all or nothing' for the two of them. 
Meaning that they both with have to die if LV is to be vanquished. 

I don't agree.  It is my perception that the wands will only 
malfunction if they are used in that fashion, eg: the graveyard 
duel.  Why would Harry have to duel to vanquish the Dark Lord?  
Couldn't there  be other means in which to get rid of him?  Taking 
him off guard for instance?  Or beating him to the Expellaramius! 

I myself see Harry giving LV a quick swift kick in the behind into 
the "Love Room" and see him melting like the Wicked Witch of the 
West.
