In a previous post, I gave my theory of Dumbledore, but numb-nuts couldn’t find it, so I’ll put the link here. He was put out that I hadn’t given my theory of what’s happening in the final book.
- We will hear from Dumbledore in some form (see previous post)
- Hagrid will die. He’s the big death, I suspect.
- Ron and Hermione will be a couple
- Neville is probably the final horcrux even though every seems to think it’s Harry himself. I disagree as you can be your own horcrux — that would be contrived, and I don’t think Rowling would do it.
- Hermione will not die because I believe this is Rowling’s representation of herself in the book
- I am undecided if Harry bites the big, fat, furry one.
- I believe at least one member of the Weasley clan will die.
- I believe we will get a huge moment out of Draco Malfoy. I do believe Ms. Rowling believes in the fact almost anyone can redeem oneself, and I think Malfoy, git that he is, will surprise us in the end.
- Rowling doesn’t lightly pick her book titles, so the Deathly Hallows is itself a clue. A “Hallow” is something that has been made holy, sanctified, and/or consecrated. This will tie back to his parents’ death somehow. It may also refer to Gordric’s Hollow where it all started, so to speak. (For instance, Rowling herself assists with translating the titles and the Swedish title is Relics of Death.) Again, this indicates that there is a specific set of items/relics/etc.
- Harry must kill Voldemort. Dumbledore clearly says so. Harry says, “I’ve got to try and kill him, or -” and he replies “Got to? Of course you’ve got to!”
So, there’s my predictions for this weekend’s big book release. I plan on reading it Sunday and Monday, assuming it arrives Saturday. Unlike Mr. Numb-Nuts, I do not intend to hang around awaiting its arrival.
For those who wish to know right now, the book has been leaked and is available, though I would prefer everyone buy a copy. I am not going to look at the illegally available copy
