I just finished the book. I cant belive what happend. Why did Dumdledore trust snape so much? I wonder if the Horcruxes that R.A.B. got was destroyed. The book was great, this is the first Harry Potter book thatmade me cry. I was really happy to see that Harry and Ginny hooked up. But I cant help feel a little depresed. Ron and Hermione was a givin. I always knew that they harbord feelings for each other. Why couldnt Harry and Ginny stay together. Harry oviously pulled some stupid excuse out of his butt. I dont think that Ginny will give up on him.


So I guess we are left with the question..... How the hell is Harry going to destroy those final Horcruxes and destroy Voldermort?

And from that another question rises..... What really happend to Dumbledore? Is it possible that What Snape did is all part of a plan that has been years in the making? Or is Dumdledore really gone? What now..... Rowling cant just leave us hanging like that..... I hope the new book is finished soon! But I guess you cant rush a master piece.

I have a lot of questions, ahh the joy of HP! My biggest of course was why did Albus trust Sev so much, like most people. I am hoping that this is some plan of Albus's. Albus is an accomplished Legimens. He could tell when people are lying to him. I want to know Sev's story! Darn it JK! Harry broke up with Ginny because things are getting so heated with Voldemort. Now that Harry knows about the Horcruxes, he will be hot on Volemort's tail. He doesn't want any romantic entaglements because he's already afraid Voldemort will get to him through his friends, and Voldemort would definatly go after his girlfriend. Ginny and Harry will probably get together (If Harry survives that is!) after the final battle with Voldemort. My big question is when Voldemort will discover the life debt Wormtail owes to Harry. I mean how does Voldemort even know that Pettigrew's nickname at school was Wormtail? I thought only the Maurders and the ones who read the map knew that! I'm thinking Draco is going to have to bite it, because Voldemort's going to be ticked. I also think there will only be one surviving member of the trio, and I think it will be Hermione. After all Harry is a tragic hero.

I agree with you about Harry, I think that Rowling had the full intentions of killing Harry of at the end of the series. Thats ok though, at least Hermiome might still live...... praying drooling

I don't think any of the trio will die. I've been wrong before. But still... the thing with Harry is that the last word of book 7 is supposed to be "scar". This leads me to believe the last sentence could be something about, "Voldemort would never be a danger to the wizarding world again, but as a reminder, Harry would always have his scar."

I'm no wordsmith like Rowling, but I would hope it would be something to that effect. Not to mention, every book is from Harry's point of view, unless in the first chapter of almost every book, when it's from someone else's. How could you finish the book if Harry's consciousness left? The thing about Ron and Hermione is that there is a lot less assurance that they'll live, and unfortunately, Ron is probably worst off. However, I guess this is wishful thinking, I don't think he'll die. It's likely though, that as soon as Hermione and Ron have admitted their love for one another, one will die defending the other. I would absolutely HATE that. But stupid things like that happen in these kinds of stories. frustrated

I dont know if the exact reason for Harry's scar was ever explained, Its been so long since I have read the first book. But wouldnt it be kind of cool if his scar is a Horcrux. That would be a pretty cool twist for the final book.

Red 8, the reason for Harry's scar is that the Avada Kadarva curse touched him there then rebounded onto Voldemort.

I'm so amused that a Harry Potter thread is the most active one on the board. What nerds we are, I love it.

Another reason I don't think Harry's scar is a horcrux - that means that Voldy wouldn't have tried to kill Harry as a wee baby because he put part of his soul into harry. That'd be bad bombin' for Voldemort to purposely do that.

But then again, when Wormtail used Harry's blood to revive Voldemort, that part of Voldemort's soul could have been used to bring him back to life, yes? So perhaps, the scar/Harry WAS a horcrux after all, but now that Voldy used the soul splinter, Harry's back to "normal" in that he's not a horcrux? But he can still speak parseltongue.

Hmm. Lots of questions and little to no answers.

from the way it was described - Volde would of had to use Lilys death to make Harry a horacrux - you have to actually kill someone at that time to be able to imbed your sould into another object

I don't know, this story was so much more real to me this time around then the other ones. There is so much more speculation in it then questions answered for me. I swear I hope the next book is over 1000 pages so everything I want to know is answered...

my biggest question after reading the book was mostly, "if it took two people to get the horcux out of the cave, who did the R.A.B. bring for help?"

probably a dumb question, but that's what i want to know. Hehe.
