Title: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

• I think the outcome of book 7 is pretty well set. Voldemort will die, whether Harry goes with him or not is uncertain. Voldemort must die because if he lives on, with Harry dead, he will never die! No other person would be able to kill him due to what the prophecy said, he wouldn’t even die of old age of disease because he isn’t mortal anymore. He would just live on forever and eventually take over the wizarding and muggle world – No writer in their right minds would kill off the whole world!
• In book seven, Dumbledore will be killed by Voldemort. It will be the last and final straw before Harry kills Voldemort. He will sacrifice himself for Harry, and pay the consequences. Harry will then have a great power with in him, more wonderful and more terrible than anything before, and finally defeat Voldemort. There is another side to this story though. It might very well be possible that Wormtail will sacrifice himself instead since, he is in dept to Harry. Harry’s Mom loved him so much that she gave her life for him. She gave him a power that Voldemort could not understand, love. Obviously she is not his enemy, but Wormtail is. He is the reason why Harry’s parents are dead. Harry’s enemy Wormtail (aka Peter Pettigrew), will give his life to save him, and give him a power that Voldemort will again, not understand.
• Harry will destroy Voldemort the same way his mother did. Harry will sacrifice his life, most likely for either Hermione or Ginny, and the spell will rebound with such intensity from the first time that Voldemort will utterly be destroyed! As for Harry, will he come back to life or not, that is something only JKR can determine. Hopefully she will let him live in the end.
• Harry will return to the Dursley’s, keeping his promise to Dumbledore. The duration of his stay will be short, only remaining long enough to renew the charm upon him for the final time. He will tell the Dursley’s that he will never see them again. Uncle Vernon will be ecstatic, but Aunt Petunia may possibly reveal a side of her that we have never seen before, maybe showing that she knows far more than she lets on, and possibly reveals something important about Lily.
• He will then travel to the Burrow along with Hermione, and meet all of the Weasley family that are there for Bill and Fleur’s wedding. It will be in the garden of the house and a simple family affair. Harry will find it hard being around Ginny who clearly still wants to be with him, but she does understand what his reasons are and respects and admires him for that, as does Mrs. Weasley. Harry definitely wants to be with her too, but his worry that she will come to harm because of him assures him of his decision.
• Hogwarts will re-open but the number of students that return is smaller than most years. Some parents will be to afraid to separate their families, especially now that Dumbledore is gone. Professor McGonagall will become Headmistress of the school. Professor Slughorn will stay on as potions master and become Slytherin Head of House. He may become slightly less selective and elitist, after being so wrong about two of his ‘favourites’. Hagrid will become the Gryffindor Head of House, and Grawp will play a part in the story line. The post of Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher will be taken by an Auror and will teach the class much more practical defence.
• Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny will all return to school, along with Neville and Luna. The trio will use all the resources that the school has to offer to try and track down the Horcruxes, not really interested in finishing their education, though McGonagall will try and make the school run as normal as possible. Harry will visit Dumbledore’s painting for advice and possibly find clues and help that Dumbledore left behind to aid him. Ginny, Neville and Luna will try to help but Harry won’t let them, fearing for their safety, though they protest vehemently and still try. Harry is still slightly uneasy even about Ron and Hermione’s help, though he realises he needs their talents to help him and that they are stronger together. In the holidays they use that time to try and hunt down the Horcruxes, as they are now of age and can use magic freely. They possibly travel to Grimmauld place (remember there was a locket there) maybe left by Regulus, and maybe Godric’s Hollow.
• The final battle between Harry and Voldemort will take place at Hogwarts. Voldemort will be defeated at the hands of Harry, though a lot of people will fight. Snape will play an integral role in the whole of this, but as to what side he will end up on we are not sure of until the very end. Harry’s scar will disappear, severing his link with Voldemort forever. Ron and Hermione will get together, as will Harry and Ginny.
• The final chapter of the book will be like an epilogue, or will at least answer all the lingering questions that we have. We find out about what happens to all the characters, more about Harry’s family throughout the book, and what happens to them all after they leave Hogwarts.
• Then we all cry because it’s over…
