Hmmm. I am inclined to believe it will re-open, maybe even as a base of operations, after all really it is one of the few places that could be considered remotely safe from Voldermort and followers.
And besides, there is alot of characters there that over the books have grown to be important, if anything the school could even be seen as a symbol, what with the sorting hats chants about pulling together over the last few books.
Spoiler:
And to be honest, I think Harry needs the school, sure he said he won't be coming back, but really, it sounded like the normal reaction of someone who was hurting and looking for revenge. Really, he needs to train up some where safe, as if he can't fight Snape who may or may not have been holding back, then he might struggle with the other challenges. Likewise stability is important, and it's not like he has much experience wandering around finding dangerous things. Look at how Dumbledore struggled with all of his resources and knowledge, in the end it contributed to his death, whether he intended it or not.And then there is the whole as long as Dumbledore supporters are there Dumbledore will never really be gone, and there is his portrait, which could be handy. Finally there is Voldermort's ties to the place which seems to suggest it will have a part to play, maybe not as major, but still a part

Yes, all indications seem to be the portraits retain the memories and personality of the portrait subject, at least to a degree, so one would think Dumbledore's portrait would be able do do something, anything. Maybe I just like the idea of Harry recieving spell training from a portrait
✅ I agree... Hogwart's is a central setting, perhaps not so much now Harry's on a mission away from the school but definitely still as important, if not more so.
It's already been stated in here (very successfully) that there are many characters tied to Hogwart's who have become extremely important in the last five books, and this, in theory, should be enough to ensure the re-opening of Hogwart's.
Also, with regard to the head dying, I think this holds no significance to whether the school will open again as many heads have died before and Hogwart's stayed open! If they were going to close the school indefinitely for deaths on the premises, surely it would have been closed after Myrtle's death at least?
I also think Harry will return to Hogwart's because, as Phoe said, it's his anchor, the only true anchor to the wizarding world... he has learned all he knows in those walls, met all of his closest friends and allies and most of the important occurrences have happened in the school or grounds. And Hagrid's determination to stay in the school for any pupil who wished to remain makes me believe Harry will go back, if only to see Hagrid (amongst others) and, as Imperial pointed out, the school would be a fantastic 'base of operations' ✅
Plus, the books just wouldn't be the same for me without Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry 😂

i think it will, but the trio and Ginny and such won't go. anyway, Harry said he was gonna go to Godric's Hollow. Where and what is that, anyway?
You don't know what Godric's Hollow is? It's where James and Lily were killed by Voldemort. I'm not sure where it's at, though...

I'm pretty sure that Hogwarts wil re-open. Perhaps Harry will not be a 'regular' student, and go there for support from the members of the Order, and his other business he must go about to destroy Voldemort.
My thoughts exactly
I don't ever remember reading about Godrics Hollow... When was it mentioned (before book 6)?
