Debate 5: Will Hogwarts reopen next year?

I think that Hogwarts will certainly open. McGonagall will make a great headmistress. Besides...it would be a pretty boring book if there was not Hogwarts. I don't think Harry will go back to school but the school will definitly be open.

I infer that if Hogwarts existed AND if I were magic msn-oh I would have started in the HBP year (in the 90s). We don't know if Hogwarts was still running after the fiasco that summer so anyone younger would not have gone at all even under the impossible circumstances.

✅ I see... so, you and I at Hogwarts together, which house would you have been in?

oops, got my sums wrong, I would have been 11-12 in OoTP academic year (1995-1996) and the cut off point for academic year grouping is September birthdays.

So, which house... never mind the year 😛

I really think the last book will be the worst.

Agreed... but hopefully there will be a few glowing moments.

Especially if Snape dies a painful death. Trustworthy or not, I still don't like him...

I disagree, if he's innocent he deserves recognition and if he's guilty, only then does he deserve death.

But if Harry is responsible, is he going to listen to whether he's innocent or not? If Harry corners him somehow... maybe JK won't make Harry too dark. Whatever. I just don't like him.

I hope Harry would give Snape the chance to prove himself, if Dumbledore has taught him anything it's to evaluate situations and be objective.

Agreed!!!

Okay, yeah you are right. Point conceded. Harry oughtn't kill Snape. I still don't like him though...

😂 Wonderful... so you think someone else should? 😂

Well, he's betrayed one side or the other, or both... it might happen.

✅ I think so too... although I sincerely hope he is able to clear his name and help Harry before he is savagely murdered for his disloyalty.

I think that Snape should pay for what he did if it wasn't just staged or something, but I don't think he should die. I wouldn't want Harry to become a murderer. Send him to Azkaban for life or something. He's not worth it, although he must at least go under the highest security at Azkaban for what he did to Dumbledore.

IF it was real, IF he wasn't just doing as DD directed. I think it's all part of a master plan. We should really start giving credit where credit's due, to the characters and the author.

It will re-open if it doesnt it will be cutting out to many characters out of the book and Dumbledore died for nothing sure he died for Snape to get close to Voldemort and to Get Harry Pumped to kill him but Dumbledores main Priorty is the education of the students of Hogwarts now he wouldnt let himself be killed if he knew the school wouldnt re-open

I can see it both ways...but in all actuality, Hogwarts doesn't NEED to re-open. Harry has already learned everything he needs. I think the 7th book will focus mainly on the Order. Hogwarts isn't a safe place for the students/faculty, the Death Eaters got in, didn't they? We know that 17 Grimmauld Place is Harry's, so the Order could go there. No, this year is going to have to be spent searching for, and destroying the remaining Horcruxes...
