What do you think will happen in the 7th Harry Potter book?

Alot of interesting theory/speculation here.

The other day in english class we had to review the heroic pattern, and I noticed Harry followed alot of it...which kind of made me guess the end of the seventh book.

Spoilers on all released books to follow:


This is the heroic pattern, retaining to Greek Mythology, but it does bear striking resemblance to the HP books.

Harry has a mudblood mother and a pureblood father, kind of like one mortal/one divine parent. He does not have an unusual conception/birth as far as we know. An attempt is made on his life near birth, it is however not made by a father/grandfather. He is taken from Gordic's Hollow by Hagrid after Voldemort tries to kill him and is left to be raised by the Dursely's. Harry mentions wanting to go back to Godric Hollow in Book Six (Godric's Hollow is his real home).

Harry is fated to be a great wizard after Voldemort's attack fails, he is also fated to be a good seeker in Quidditch. We all know about the prophecy from Book Five.

This element of the pattern I find very interesting. The purpose of the journey is obviously to kill Voldemort, Dumbledore is/was his guide, every wizard can use magic (weapon in the form of a wand), Harry duels many monsters (spiders, many within the hedge maze of Book Four), he tries to run through the arch to get Sirius back from behind it, and here is the speculation. He is only partially successful in defeating Voldemort...how that's possible I'm unsure, of course I'm only guessing.

Harry wants to return to Godric's Hollow, but before the defeat of Voldemort.

This is the only element I see not fitting too well with the HP series.

The first one is true, the second one probably won't be (hopefully).

Now on to the most interesting element:

So, will Harry die after he kills Voldemort? Hm....

Sorry for the long post e.e;

i don't know, i think that they will have a giant battle. but after casting their most powerful spells, their spells collide and take both of them out. either that or along his journey to find Voledemort, Harry ron and Hermoine discover a powerful spell that they can only use together. they will use that spell to defeat voldemort. i have no clue what she will write after if that is the case.
