I'm sure there are plenty of these types of threads already. But I couldn't find any.

It all depends for me, but I can see myself being angry if he survives.

I wouldn't say horribly, but I would say I would be disappointed if he's still alive at the end.

Yea, I'd be disappointed, but then I'd be sorta lk "yay he saved the day once again no expression"

No. Quite the opposite, in fact.

I'll be really disappointed if Harry doesnt turn out to be a Horcrux, and have to die to defeat Voldermort, unless Rowling manages to create a very clever twist. If it's just a straightforward tragic death, I'll probably be disappointed and if he doesnt die, she'd better have a damn good reason!

Am I the only one who would be dissapointed if he died?

I've stated my reasons for why it's impossible is the past, so I will leave that theory alone for the time being.


I'm a tad indifferent on the subject. For one thing, unless she has a really good twist or something, there's no way she could legitimately pull off having Harry live. But at the same time, we've spent 7 books over the span of a good 8-10 years reading about and getting to know and understand Harry as a character, and the situation he's in. After all that reading, and all the things Harry did get through, for him to fail the final challenge makes the entire thing seem like a fruitless en devour.

Member.
we have to take into account the circumstances surrounding his death, or his survival.

I think jkr would be disappointed. If HArry does die at the end then many people will be bugging the crap out of her to write new books. better to kill him off in an epic duel than when hes 30 on the streets begging for a nickel saying he was the "chosen one".

I totally agree with you 100%. Haven't you people ever heard of happy endings. And wouldn't it be better if she wrote more books on Harry? I mean, the woman is a billionaire because of him, imagine how much money she could make if she made another one. And I also understand what you mean, it would be annoying if the sequel goes on and on. But that doesn't mean she has to kill him. She could start on other stories.

Too big of a risk if you ask me. Really, it actually doesn't matter if he lives or dies. JKR is ending it in a way that if he lives or dies, she wont write more books on him. By explaining what happens to everyone in the last chapter and such. Harry dying or living doesn't phase me... if anyone cries though I'm going to hit them with the 2x4 of Reality...

I don't think J.K. Rowling could kill Harry and make it good. My mom saw somewhere that someone hacked onto some computer and found out how the book is going to end. She won't tell me though.

If Harry dies I won't care, that is, if she can write it well.

Harry better die at the end. makes the most sense. so many ppl died for him and he avenges him by killing voldemort, then somehow dies. He'll be happier dead because he'll be with his parents, sirius, dumbledore (yes i think he's dead), and any others that have died i didnt mentionn or will die in the seventh book. the ending can still be happy even if he dies he'll be w/ the ones he loves. WOW

Diger
Yeah who knows. I didn't read anything about the hacker I was just told about it. And I wasn't told much either.

But right now I'm seriously doubting that the book will be all that great.

Sparkling Heart
I think It will.

Except for the Weasleys (especially Ginny) and Hermione. And Hagrid. confused

i am gonna cry so hard at the end of this book, because I cry at almost every movie. I CRIED DURING SURF"S UP FOR PETE"S SAKE!! And no matter who dies, I'll cry, I know it. I will cry, because 2 characters are supposed to die, and unless it's Umbridge and Snape,Voldemort and Snape, Voldemort and Umbridge, I can guarentee I will cry. I'll even cry for Malfoy, although it may be from laughing so hard in his case...

I'm gonna cry if Draco dies cry

And I think Wormtail is gonna have something to do with the last book somehow... ermmhappy

Selina*Starfire
Look, even if none of my favorite characters are killed, I'm still gonna bawl my eyes out, because it's the end of the series. cry

She has to kill him. I think so, at least. She isn't going to, though. I'll bet you anything.

Fawne
It be sad for him to die. but he has to. it'll make the book and story meaningful in a way

Forcewielder
But it will be adding insult to the injuries that Harry has suffered throughout the series. He lost his parents, is contsantly abused by his aunt and uncle, being threaten with death by Voldemort and his followers, and battling all sorts of nightmarish creatures and the only way to free him from this kind of lifestyle is by killing him?

Forget it. He deserves to live.

Weeping Fairy
I wont be disappointed; however, i will think it to be almost to "happy ending la dee da" kinda thing, but i trust that JK will end the story quite wonderfully. Hell, JK could end the series with Harry and Grawp gettin married, Snape and the Giant Squid falling in love, and Draco being DD in disguise, and it could still be an awesome ending cuz JK's just good like that. I think that a really good way to end the series would be for Harry to sacrifice himself (assuming he is a horcrux) just like Ron sacrificed himself in SS at the giant chessboard, then describe how all the pain from losing his loved ones finally left, and he was reunited with his parents, DD and Sirius. Buuuuuut..... Im not JK, im not the one writing the books, so im not gona say how it should end, thats her job, not mine, and however the series does end, i think JK will do Harry justice.

Why would JKR kill off Harry after making like 8 books about him? That would be really stupid if they kill him off..

Rave X
Technically, he was dead for some time, right? I honestly never figured out what I wanted, Harry alive or Harry dead at the end. But after everything he has been through, he deserves some happiness, so all in all, I like that he lived. Again.

willRules
Meh. I was always more concerned about it being a good story or not. it was ok. Dumbledore was a total gangster despite being dead so I liked it yes
