I'm nearly positive Dumbledore is dead because a) Harry gt put under a full body bind. Dumbledore knew that if he lives he'd be able to release him. Since he obviously didn't, the only other way he could have been released was if someone else did the counterspell (which they didn't because they couldn't see him, he was under the invisibility cloak) or if the DUmbledore dies (all active spells of his would die, too).
I hope that made sense... it sounded way better in my head!!
libby74;1780838 said:Maybe, they will kill Voltemort, and everyone that he killed will come back... That would be cool!! You never know with magic!That would be cool... but its kind of Disney.I don't think JK will have the ultimate happy ending.... *sigh*
I think there will be some sort of happy ending but my sister was saying (she's been keeping track of all the websites and such) that Rawlings said that the books teach that there is a lot of sacrifice to be made to choose the path of good... so.. I'm thinking that a lot of good people will die.. because supposedly Rawlings is all about the lessons for children (and I'm thinking a few for adults too, hehe)..
If there's lessons to be learned.. Dumbledore had to be sacrificed but is still in the painting.. to the greater good..
You can't trust everyone... hence Snape. Or appearences can be decieving?
I really need to go back and reread all the books in the series. I've read so many others in between the HP books.

I can't wait for the final book. I work at Barnes and Noble here in Richmond and I'm hoping to work at the Harry Potter Party. I've already got my black cloak all ready and a Ravenclaw scarf. Oh and I have a little stuff animal owl thats about 3-4 inches high that I can safety pin onto my shoulder. I can't wait. I'm so excited. I still haven't pre-ordered the book yet since I've been so busy, but I'm going to do that next week.
Wonder if I could get the Tonk to sit on a shoulder by then...wonder if B&N would let me take the Tonk in on a shoulder...

The employees are going to be dressed up??? Now I HAVE to go!!
I just preordered my copy from Powells here in Portland. This will be THE place in the area to do the midnight release. It's an older, creaky-type building... pretty freakin' cool place. They said they will be doing something, just not sure what yet. So I have preordered and will drag as many as humanly possible with me!!!
Anyone here in Portland?

No... out: I'm in Northern Virginia... I'm still looking for somewhere around here to do something really cool. So far the best luck I've had is a B&N.

I have been finding out loads of stuff about this book alot of spoilers and by the sounds of what i have found out the book is going to be very dark and sad
and i do know the last word in this book will be SCAR. i really cant wait to read it, i think this may be the biggest book too, so i need to spare some time to sit down and read it
i dont think anything fu is happening in london for its realse
which is sooooooooo not fair
i also love the films although they always skip things in films so i perfer to read the book, but the graphics in harry potter is amazing its a thing for all ages i dont think jk realised what a hit this book was going to be, i dont beleive she could leave harry behind
. if you want to hear any spoilers then let me know i must say that they may not be true but i must say i do belive some of them.
I can't wait for the final book! I want to try and reread all of them before the last one, but don't know if that is going to happen. I am already reading two books at one time. I will at least reread the 6th one before the last one comes out.
That is one of my favorite book series to read. Each time I reread them, I forget so much and it's like reading for the first time again. I think that Snape is still on Hogwort's side despite it looking the other way. I also think dumbledore is truly not gone. He did not die like the others did with that same curse. I also think Neville and Peter Petigrew will play a major role in the last book.
I am sad that it is the last book, but like all good stories, they must come to an end. I think that it should be Rawlings decision on whether or not she wants to continue the series. But most often than not, contiuations are never truly as good as the original.
I'm just excited that I get the book delivered to my door the day it is released!
I wish Rawlings would come down here to see us. I would love to tell her how much her books have inspired people of all ages and get her to sign some books also!

Actually, it is not the longest book. Book 4 is still the largest book. This one will be around 780 pages. Order of the Phoenix has 870. I wish the final book was longer, but I'm sure that it will be suspenseful enough.

J K Rowling is doing a book signing in London for launch of the last book.

Thats pretty neat! I am going to have to set some time aside to wander around on there. Thanks!
I am re-reading all the Harry Potter books to prepare myself for the Seventh book. I am a little scared of reading it because I am dreading the possibility of one of the main characters dying. I have developed a soft spot for Neville Longbottom, so I am hoping he doesn't die as well.
Very cool site but I can't find a dratted thing on the web.. that site or others, about anything going on in DC. I so want to do something cool. I still want to try to train Pogue to be the shoulder cat for the book release.
I'm re-reading the series too. I'm on the fourth book. I pre-ordered mine from Amazon a long time ago. I've got to get up early
on Saturday morning after it comes out, so I can't go to an event. Dang. I do have a cloak though!
I started re-reading "Order of the Phoenix" last week, so I'll be finished well before the movie opens. I'm anticipating/dreading reading book 7. My understanding is that not 1 but 2 characters die. I'm going to assume one of them is Voldemort; the other almost has to be a good guy, doesn't it? I'm really anxious to find out if Snape is really a dastardly scoundrel, or just a greasy-haired, misunderstood teacher.
well me being a harry potter nut has thought about the new book and decided what i think is going to happen ... lord voldermort will die both dursleys will die apart from dudley who is a wizerd and patunia (sp) is also a witch, harry survives and becomes something to do with merlins beard and i have a feeling the book is going to be about harry as a adult and no longer a child. also snape is a good guy dumboldor ask him to kill him as he knew he was going to die from his last injury and he went back to lord voldemort as a spy dumboldor will still talk to harry through pictures in this book and siruis is still alive but is stuck behind that screen thing. but knowing me that is wrong.
