Eddie responded:

Godrick's Hollow, where it all began.
or
The "Room of Love" in the Ministry of Magic.



Sandy responded similarly:

Since it is the ultimate climax of the series it will occur towards the end
of the book, although where that will fall within the school year I haven't a
clue. ...snip... As to where, I think it will be either at Hogwarts or
at Godric's Hollow. I hope it is at Godric's Hollow because that's
where it all began so it would be fitting that it end there.


Kemper now:
My question was unclear.
I was responding to Steve's suggestion of using the Veil to have Harry
go to the land of the Dead and return after meeting up with family and
friends.  The question I asked of Steve (or anyone) was /where/ and
/when/ use of the Veil would be used as I argued against seeing it in
the Death Chamber (or whatever the name of the Veil room) as we've
seen a climatic battle there.

Steve may be suggesting that the Veil be used earlier in  the story,
that has nothing to do with the story climax; I don't know.

Kemper, who agrees with Eddie and Sandy that the final battle would be
fitting at Godric's Hollow.  Don't journeys end where they begin?
