This is the thread that should include discussion about the content, beginning, ending, deaths (possible), and new characters in the book.

Spoilers may not be posted in another thread unless that thread has "(WARNING: SPOILERS)" in the title.

Considering the importance Voldermort places on Hogwarts, I don't doubt that he'll be there, at least for part of the time. However, as a student, I doubt it.

I agree that if Harry can't even hex Snape he would have difficulty taking on voldemort by himself. However I really see the end as Harry (whose greatest strength is his ability to love apparently) uniting his friends and using them to take on Voldemort. This includes snape. My guess is that he also made an unbreakable vow with dumbledore to protect harry.

Either way its really exciting. Book 7's coming out next month right?

We wish, Cicero. Would Harry really find time for school in between looking for Horcruxes? I think one of which is going to be the sword he pulled out of the sorting hat in Chamber of Secrets. It belonged to Godric Griffindor and the school's founder's were mentioned. Then again, he would have to finish school to become an auror. Unless killing Voldemort would replace NEWTS? In anybody likes the theories, I would recommend Mugglenet.com.

I think Harry will go back to school to protect the last horcruxes(I believe the sword is one). Also, to gather strength to take on Voldemort. But, I could be wrong, as i usually am.

Well I was too busy to finish it as fast as I hoped.

1. I don't think that RAB will be regulus. What would AB stand for? Probably the nick name of some other character or a new one.
2. I am sad that another person had to die in this book. :( I kept hoping until the end that Dumbledore would wake up. Or, that Dumbledore and Snape changed bodies. So in fact it was Dumbledore that killed Snape. For Dumbledore to infiltrate voldemort HQ.
3. Well it is sort of obvious that the last book, will be locating and the destroying the horcruxes.
4. OK is it just me. But I imagined Ginny to be like waaaaaaaaay younger then Harry. Too young for Harry to date.
5. Maybe I should get my mind out of the gutter. But at some point the story skips and it just says "Harry spent a wonderful evening with Ginny." So did he get some?" ;)
6. I was hoping that Hermione and Ron would get together at the end of the book. I liked the fact that Hermione obviously likes Ron. And when ron was ill and dreaming, he was obviously referring in his slurs to hermione. So, do we think that Ron and Hermione will both confide in Harry in the last book, and he ends up match making.
7. How come it is all acceptable for people to not finish high school? First the twins, now Harry, Hermione/Ron as well???
8. I wonder if book 7 will have an ending. If Harry ends up battling for instance Malfoy forever.
9. Wonder if Harry will encounter the people he lost in some way. If Voldemort can make a horcrux. It is at all possible, that James, Lilly, Dumbledore, Serius did as well. I somehow think that Dumbledore will be in the next book guiding Harry.
10. I think definitely the last 100 pages of this book was fantastic, to me one of the best 100 pages out of any of the books.
11. Maybe once Voldemort is killed, the people that he killed will come back alive.
12. I think it is going to be an open ending. Happy ending. But the possibility that someone will return.

I think Snape either ends up not being bad, or ends up replacing Voldemort.

I hope that book 7 with Harry being a teacher at Hogwarts. Happily married to Ginny. Or something.
Perhaps they will do a take in the last book, on Harry 10 years later.

I think RAB stands for Regulus Black, and maybe his middle name starts with an A. I also think of the 6th and 7th year more as college than high school, but that is probably me. This was definitely my fav book though.

1. RAB = Regulus A. Black.

2. I'm sooo sad too.

3. It seems like the last book will be hunting down horcruxes and the final battle with Voldemort.

4. Ginny is only 1 year younger.

5. Hee! JK did say Harry had 'more romantic times' in this book.

6. There better be a hook up between those two!!!

7. I guess it is just accepted? In the US you can drop out at 16 with parents' permission. Also, it may be like college, as LilRach said.

8. I really sorta hope that it doesn't have an ending. I would rather it end with Harry and Voldemort pulling their wands out or something like that.

9. I really do hope that Dumbledore somehow guides Harry. But, it is doubtful that any of the OTP members have horcruxes as you have to kill to make one.

10. Last 100 pages are always the good part.

11. I think when you are dead, you are dead. :)

12. I think an open ending is what we will get.

I've heard that he last word of the last book will be scar, if that's a help

Well, even without a Horcruxe, Dumbledore still has a painting up in the Headmaster's Office.. should Harry be at Hogwarts, at all.

Yes, I also heard that the last word will be scar, but I have no idea how it will relate to the plot. maybe the scar plays a bigger part in the next book, or even helps explain how Harry is to kill Voldemort...
