NO joke i dont know y but i like hermonie more than i ron actually know i like ron its just thats it s hermonie and plus it would be no suprise shes almost killed ron off so many times!!!!!
Hmm, I'm swell with computers, so let's see if this works... (I'm a closet Harry Potter freak, I mean my friends and family know, but I usually don't surf the internet because I find out that people realized stuff that I didn't so I just get mad. But here goes nothing.
When I first found out that J.K. was going to kill off two characters; I freaked out. It was horrible when Sirius died, and then Dumbledore, but now J.K. was expecting us to cope with losing two? Yeah ****ing right. But then, after an hour of hyperventalating, I realized that one of them had to be Voldemort. (I deserve a cookie for figuring that one out.)
Since the fifth book I have believed that Harry and Voldemort are going to die, because of what the prophecy said: "Neither shall live while the other survives." Someone mentioned it on the first page, I think. J.K. always plants her things earlier on in the books; so it's very probable that they will both die. (I can image J.K. being all "I told you so in book five, your dolts...) But the way it's written can be taken differently by different people; that's why it's tricky.
But I'm pretending that the world is a fairy tale and that Harry won't die because I love him too much. Or that if he does die I can just dry on him like the movies and he'll come back to life. Or give him a magic rose or declare my everlasting love or something else inspired by Disney. Wow, tangent. I beileve Hagrid is a big contender to dying, simply because he's one of the father figures to Harry. Sirius died, then Dumbledore... his guardians are diminishing at an alarming rate.
I don't think that the Avada Kedevra curse will not work just because the caster did not beileve it. I think this is where I'm supposed to use the quotes button...hmmm. I'm not sure that Wormtail will be killed, but he will at least save Harry's life. He was put in Gryffindor for a reason. And I really dont' know about Snape; if he's on the good side or not. I kind of want him to be on the Dark side just so Harry can have huge duel with him. T'would be fun, that's for sure. Hmm, I ran out of room...
In the setting in which i believe JK to be writing i think it impossible that she would allow evil to triumph over good...yet that is not necessarily to say that Harry has to live, and as Nannibef says i really really don't want Harry to die i mean i cried when she killed off Dumbledore (no im not sad i just realised that the books would now be completely altered and reading them would be so different because i keep think hes now dead...) anyways... i found this page with info on what is left for book 7 i copied and pasted it into word and saved it....so ill see if i can fit it in here...if not ask and ill pm it to you....or ill post the site if i can find it again! xx

Voldemort can't win; the people would revolt. The guy who wrote the Sherlock Holmes books ended up killing Holmes, which made the people angry. Thus the people began to throw stuff at his house and threatened his life and stuff until he wrote a new book were Holmes miraculously survived. Something along those lines anyway...
Anyway, I don' think J.K. would do it, I would say won't, but nothing is impossible. She may kill off Harry with Dumbledore, which would really, really suck, but I don't think Voldemort could win.
I've written that I believe Harry will die with Voldemort. If he doesn't (which I hope he doesn't) then I feel that Hermione will die. The Death Eaters will target her more just because she's a "Mudblood" and I think J.K. will have her die to show that a person born outside the wizarding community can care about what happens to it just as much as a pureblood wizard can. I really wish that they could have visited Hermione's home, or at least met her parents (I know they are in the books, but you dont' even know their names). But I think J.K. did that to show the complete seperation between the Muggle and Wizarding world. But I don't want her to die either....
Wormtail has to help Harry somehow, it wouldn't have been hinted at if it's not important. Yet again, he's in Gryffindor for a reason. He must have one teeny tiny redeemable factor in him somewhere. He may not die for Harry, but I believe that he will help somehow.
Sorry for quoting stuff wrong, I don't proofread.
I agree with Nannibef. Cause what is it that all authors want most out of their books? its as much publicity as possible. The only ending would be that voldemort dies and harry lives, or voldemort dies and so does harry but still dying as a hero. If she kills harry and voldemort lives shes gonna get complains

§ What Harry’s parents did is important to the later plot.
§ Is there something more to the cats appearing in the books than first meets the eye? (i.e. Mrs. Figg's cats, Crookshanks, Prof. McGonagall as a cat, etc.)
JKR: Ooooo, another good question. Let's see what I can tell you without giving anything away ... erm ... no, can't do it, sorry.
§ Harry might get a different pet "at some point."
§ We will find out more about the history of James Potter’s family in the next books.
§ A few of the Hogwarts professors have spouses, but the information is restricted – we’ll find out why!
§ JKR on the last chapter of book 7: "this is really where I wrap everything up, it’s the epilogue. And I, I basically say what happens to everyone after they leave school – those who survive – because there are deaths – more deaths coming."

§ JKR "never said that he [Harry] would have a 'more permanent injury'" in a future book.

§ What Harry (and all the characters) will be going through will be quite "tough."

§ Rita Skeeter is "morally horrible," but tough and determined; "there is more to come on Rita."
§ Cuaron "put things in the [PoA] film that, without knowing it, foreshadow things that are going to happen in the final two books."
§ More characters are going to die (in Book 6 and/or Book 7, she did not specify).
§ No book character has returned from the future.
§ The last part of the prophecy does not mean that Neville and Harry must kill each other.
§ Neville does have a "significant part to play in the last two novels and the fight against Voldemort."
§ The prophecy did not mystically intertwine Neville's fate with Harry's.
§ There will be no more Quidditch matches.
§ We will learn more about Dumbledore's backstory in Book 7.
§ JK won't answer if Snape is evil or not because it will have such a huge impact on what will happen when Harry and Snape meet again: "I love the theories."
§ Umbridge is still at the Ministry; we will see more of her because JK wants to "torture" her a bit more.
§ At the moment the last word is still "scar."
§ JK has started planning and writing Book 7, though she will be taking a break from serious writing while Mackenzie is still small.
§ As one can guess from the end of Book 6, the founders of Hogwarts will play a role in Book 7.
§ Who is R.A.B.? Regulus Black is a "fine choice."
§ JK will not comment on whether or not Sirius' mirror will allow communication with Regulus or not.
§ It is possible that we will find out what spell Dumbledore was trying to cast on Voldemort in the Ministry.

§ JK won’t tell us if there will be another scene in the locked room in the Department of Mysteries.
§ JK: “Dumbledore's family would be a profitable line of inquiry."
§ Dumbledore’s “gleam of triumph” (GoF) will be enormously significant to Book 7.
§ Dumbledore's guesses about how to kill Voldemort are “never very far wide of the mark.” Harry will need to get rid of four horcruxes, and then “go for Voldemort.” Dumbledore has given Harry “some pretty valuable clues” and Harry "has amassed more knowledge than he realizes."
§ At least one of the remaining Horcruxes is pretty easy to guess at if you are a careful reader.
§ Harry and Ron will never read Hogwarts, a History.

§ JK doesn't know yet how long Book 7 will be.
§ "There will be some characters [in Book 7] who you don't know particularly well, and there may be a couple of new characters, but nobody really major. You know pretty much the cast list by now."
§ Sirius' death was not arbitrary. Plot-wise, Harry needs to "go on alone and to give him too much support makes his job too easy."
§ The magical protection Harry receives from staying at the Dursleys will not hold once he turns 17 and becomes a man.
§ Petunia knows about dementors because she "overheard a conversation" between Lily and someone else. But there is more to it than that; we will earn more in Book 7.
§ JK will not tell us if Lord Voldemort ever finds out what the prophecy fully said.
§ In Book 7 we will become better acquainted with another member of the Order of the Phoenix. This is someone we know about but have not "met properly."
§ Jo says she thinks it will be at least another two year wait before Book 7 comes out.
§ Wormtail won't kill Lupin.
§ Ravenclaw "Will get their day, if you know what I mean!"
§ When asked about the graveyard, Jo seems a bit thrown and says "Where is the Hogwarts graveyard? They're making up features now."
§ It would not be possible to change the ending of the books, but Jo has
made some "'tweaks" to the final chapter of Book 7 and will have to rewrite it when she gets there.
§ When asked if Harry's eyes are important, Jo agrees that they are mentioned again and again, but won't say any more.
§ Loves fan-theories. People have been very close to figuring out things and some people have even figured out part of Book 7.
§ "When people have finished reading this book, they will really know what to expect in book seven and I think I give very clear pointers as to what Harry will do next."
"There is plenty to guess at... at least one thing I think people will probably deduce, there is a mystery left at the end, but I think they might already know the answer if they think about it."
§ In Book 6 Harry finds out a lot about the past which "hopefully will be of use to him in the future."
