Guesses for Book 7 (Assume **spoilers** for all previous 6 books!!)

[PTeppic]

We've presumably all read books 1-6 by now. So - what do we think is going to happen in book 7? And/or title guesses too, since we're at it.

For the even braver, how about some sort of rating of how likely their guess is:
e.g. Hermione and Ron get it together (probable), Dumbledore reappears [see other threads for background] (possible), the book is called "HP and the Heir of Gryffindor" (guesswork)

 

[PTeppic]

Some of my thoughts:
Probables:
Harry ends up at Godric's Hollow
Pettigrew's debt to Harry (POA) makes an important (life-saving?) re-apperance

Possibles:
Despite the end of HBP the school does re-open as usual
"Prior Incantatem" happens again
Harry, Ron or Hermione works out how to become an Animagus
RAB is not Regulus Black

How much of Godric's Hollow is left? Wasn't it pretty much flattened after Voldemort was there? Although I do think he will go back!

And the last one's controversial There's a general acceptance floating around the internet that it could well be him. It's not like Jo to do something we expect though.

It is possible that one or more of the trio dies...

Can't remember where I read this now but she already has the title, it is a title she was going to use for an earlier book - maybe 4 or 5 - but then changed it. It may even be what you just said, I can't remember now.

What about Arabella Doreen Figg? Does she have some part to play? Why introduce her and then never develop it further?

Having just re-read books 5 and 6, I think I retract that, and go for the more obvious, RAB is Regulus Black. He turned from the dark side at the end, and finding the Horcrux would have been the icing on the cake - though who knew? Something left to find in Grimauld Place?

She makes the surprise pseudo-re-characterisation (after many years of being bumbling) in Order of the Phoenix... I suspect that was the main appearance. As a squib there's not a lot else she can do.

He also gets mentioned more than perhaps he deserves, in passing, in Half-Blood Prince, prior to the RAB discovery.

There is also a "a heavy locket that none of them could open" found during the clean-out at 12 Grimauld Place (btw I've only just 'got' GrimOld place!) which matches the frequent description of Salazar Slytherin's locket, as "stolen" and sold by Merope Riddle nee Gaunt: "a heavy gold locket"

Hi folks,i have a couple of guesses on book 7,firstly,Dumbledore may not be dead,he may just be playing dead,to lure Voldermort out into the open so he can take him out,he'll jump up with a 'gotcha',and slot him.Secondly i'm not convinced sirius is dead,not properly,if you cast your minds back to book 5,the manner in which he died is a little questionable,that portal he fell through at the moment of death,no body,nothing,that,to me,leaves it open somewhat.Icould be wrong on these points,but they do hold theoretical weight,to me at least.

My thoughts:

Dumbledore is dead. (This has in fact been proved by JKR)
Harry will find some way of contacting Sirius.
Lupin will have a greater role.
Hagrid will die.
As will one of the Weasley twins.
Harry will not.
Snape will save Harry.
Peter Pettigrew will redeem himself.
RAB is Regulus Black.
Dementors will kiss Voldemort.
The Wand man (can't recall his name at the moment), who was 'missing' in book 6, is in hiding with the Order.

 

[PTeppic]

Dumbledore is dead. (This has in fact been proved by JKR)

In this context, what do you mean by "proved"?

Not mathematically... If based on the book contents, this could be a reasonably well used plot device, as mentioned above, to lure out Voldemort. There's an entire thread or two about it somewhere around. If based on interviews, it could still be a bluff, to not give away such a major plot point. Or it could be true, but is it "proof"? The only way to know for sure will be to read book 7.

 

[MJRevell]

Hehe, true I should have said confirmed, which she has in a recent appearance in New York.

 

[Adasunshine]

Mr Olivander is the wandmaker.

As for what will happen in Book 7 well...

JK has already confirmed that someone will die whom she didn't originally plan to die, I think this is Ron or Hermione.

I'm hoping Harry can contact Sirius, there's more to that curtain than meets the eye.

Dumbledore is most certainly dead but Snape is still good pretending to be bad pretending to be good and will lead the rest of the Order to Voldemort.

Something wonderful will happen with Longbottom, he will play a big part in saving the day.

Harry will die, I've accepted this as fact. He will die along with Voldemort, it's the only way that Voldemort can go completely.

yeah it is said that harry is also a Horcrux

 

[idioteque04]

hey,

whats a horcrux?

and does anyone think voldemort will prevail? or become good?

 

[PTeppic]

Horcrux is in book 6: it is the name given to any otherwise everyday object in which a part of a witch or wizard's soul is stored, their soul having been split in two by a massively evil act such as murder, and otherwise the shriven part of the soul just goes away somewhere.

Voldemort is unlikely to become good: as per the prophecy, neither can survive whilst the other lives. Hasn't JKR been pretty clear: one (or both) has to die at the end?

 

[idioteque04]

thanks dude,

yeah i guess i was just hoping they would make up over a nice cup of tea and could both live...

 

[JohnSnow]

Something wonderful will happen with Longbottom, he will play a big part in saving the day.

Could not agree with you more. Longbottom may be the one to finish Voldemort off in my opinion, or at least assist in it.

Still not sure if Harry is going to die or not, Dumbledore is dead though.

Harry will finally prove that he is the greatest wizard alive by doing something unheard of / never done before. He will do this on his own without help from Ron or Hermione.

Harry and Ginny get together and she dies causing Harry to basically snap. We all know that love is the greatest magic there is and that would be a good use of it. Although I do not want to see Ginny die.

Harry will put Draco Malfoy in the Cruciatus curse (please)

Snape will die saving Harry (Jo has some serious love for that guy)

A la Star Wars, harry will create his own wand so he can officially whip up on Volde (don't think this is going to happen, but would be interesting)

McGonagall will become headmistress of Hogwarts

Lucius Malfoy will be imprisoned in Azkaban

Luna Lovegood will be killed

Hermione will go back to Hogwarts as a tecaher

the book should be called Harry Potter and the Arse Kicking of Voldemort however Harry Potter and the Broken Horcrux (I know she has stated the title to most likely be used already and this probably isn't it).

I hate to possibly upset anybody, but....Harry and Hermione will turn out to be brother and sister. Honestly, they will - it's so clear to me that that's the big secret to Book 7!! If you think that's sheer madness, all I'll say is read the books again with that thought in mind.......so much makes sense when you do!

lmfao would u like to give us evidence here maybe?

Ok, "evidence" is maybe too strong a word, but my reasoning is as follows:-I started to suspect it during GoF, and am now more than certain – the clues are all there, especially in HBP.
[SIZE=+0]Not convinced? Well, for starters:-[/SIZE]

• their ages / birth dates fit - Hermione's birthday is in September, Harry's is in July,and must be almost a year after hers (because she is eligible to take the Apparition test, but Harry isn't old enough yet);
• there are so many similarities in wizarding talent and abilities (best students in their year);
• this explains why Hermione is such a talented witch (she isn't "muggle-born" at all, but was adopted because James & Lily for some reason had no alternative but to do so - for her own safety and security???);
• this outcome means that Harry & Ginny will get back together, and Ron and Hermione will finally get together, and no-one will be disappointed (because they will all end up related, and Harry finally will get to have a real family which is genuinely "his");
• they even look alike (dark hair with a mind of its own!!!).

I suspect that in book 7, either Aunt Petunia will reveal this (as something she had no compunction about not disclosing before), or Harry will discover it as a result of going to Godric’s Hollow.
Ok, tell me I’m wrong (but I won’t believe you!!). I’ve discussed this with two fellow HP devotees, one of whom grudgingly acknowledges “there might be something in it”. The other one is now equally convinced of it…….and JK has actually said, on the subject of a Harry / Hermione relationship, ("Trust me, you don't want to go there", said with a definite shudder!!!).
