I wonder how many people will die in the next book.

I  hate to say this, I think Rowling will try and tie up as many loose ends as she possibly can and killing off characters is the ultimate solution... also she sells more copies when she 'accidently' lets slip that someone is going to die. my bets are on either Ron/ hermionie/ hagrid/ ginny... because lets face it ginny isn't going to give harry up without a fight and she is BOUND to get in the way, even with her little hexes that she throws out from time to time. sorry folks am on a bit of a rant. but at least one of te people close to harry is gonna cop it in the next book because everyone who ever gets close to harry ends in a sticky end. Not sure if Harry is going to survive, will just have to wait for the next book to come out.... whenever that may be!!!!

Naw, Ginny's going to survive.  She and Harry are going to live happily ever after.

Snape is going to die in a show of sacrifice and tru loyalty.  He'll die saving Harry, fatally defending him from Voldemort.  Then, he'll have some meaningful last words for Harry.

Potter, in a rage, will end-up fighting Voldemort, but killing him in a way related to love or something, which seems to be a theme. 

Predictable.

Snape wouldn't die for Harry, and if he did, Harry wouldn't give a smurf. Not only has Snape been give Harry crap all 6 years at Hogwarts, but then he went and killed Harry mentor. If Rowling does have this happen in the book, it will be the worst ending to a series, ever.

Second, tru is not a word. Also, I think that Harry will kill Voldermort, bringing good to the land, but die in the process, like after Voldermort is dead for good. This way, good will win, there will be no smurfy sequels, Harry will have time to say goodbye and such, and the prophecy is technically fulfilled.

And also, the Christian Coalition will be happy with this ending, because Harry Potter (obviously their sworn enemy) dies.

If she actually sets up the series so that no one may create another book in the "Harry Potter world" as someone mentions previously I'll be very sad to see that great universe go to waste.  I think its great the way Star Wars is expanded on by the hundreds of books out there following other characters and time frames.

I watched the first HP movie again just last weekend and I realized that I would love to see a book or short story at least about the making of wands.  In GoF where each wizard must have thier wands inspected and the girl's wand is commented that the Veela hair in it is 'upredictable' at times or hard to control made me really want to know how more about the process.

My favorite story set is The Sandman by Niel Giaman and not too long ago read a collection of short stories written by many other notable authors that had to do with the universe created and developed over the course of The Sandman and I'd love to see Rowling let something similar happen.

So you think someone's going to write a book about James Potter and his adventures at Hogwarts with Lupin, Pettigrew, and Snape?

Could happen.  Or a young Dumbledore series.

Not likely, but there's an entire world of material that could be created.  It'll probably wind up being fan fiction.

Why not?  I would read it, and I'm sure others would as well.

I'd be down with reading a James Potter book but like I said the concept of wand making process that seems the most interesting to read. If Harry Potter was slightly less kiddie, a suspenseful book could be written about the travels of some Auror or Van Helsing type-guy

ehn either way a book or two of short stories focused more in the 'general' wizarding world would be very cool.

I'd like to throw in my theory about who is RAB.  I don't think it's Regulus (sp?).  I think it may be Mr. Burke from Borgin & Burkes.  It's not a strong argument, but it's food for thought.

These are my reasons:
1. We've never seen him, he may be dead or searching for magical items, like, oh, I don't know, horcruxes.  It'd be interesting to see him as a kind of wizarding Indiana Jones.
2. Voldemort used to work for him.
3. He knew that Hepzibah had the Slytherin locket since he sold it to her.

Of course, I could be wrong, and I often am.

That's actually a good point. We never were told of Burkes' first name.

Nah, considering the way Rawlings writes, she likes to use family bloodlines to explain everything. Think about how pretty much every single mystery had something to do with someone being related to someone else.

Or not. I don't really remember everything from the other books. But it just seems like RAB should be Regulus Black. Guess we'll all find out next year.

Or will we
