Neville (who, by the way, was NOT the original subject of the prophecy, a matter that was fully answered by the prophecy itself in book 5, page 842)<BR/>4. Fred and/or George Weasley (With Mrs. Weasley's clock and her boggart fears revealed, at least one Weasley needs to go. It won't be Ron or Ginny - see below - and Arther, Bill, Charlie & Percy aren't loved enough by the readers for their deaths to have the appropriate impact. Plus, Fred and George have wanted into this fight more than any other character, and they are bad-ass wizards despite their poor academic performance). <BR/><BR/>Harry will not die because: <BR/>1. The prophecy requires one, but not both to die.<BR/>2. Harry, or his scar, is the sixth and final Horcrux (yes, I agree with Mr. G&T's count, book 6, page 503), but there there has to be some kind of de-horcruxification, probably performed by Voldemort, perhaps with the help of Snape, in the final battle just before Snape kills Voldemort. <BR/><BR/>Ron, Hermione and Ginny will also not die. JKR has worked too hard to set up that family and will allow them to live their lives. <BR/><BR/>RAB is Regelus Black, Sirius's estranged Death Eater brother. He stole the locket and brought it home, to 12 Grimmauld Place. The Order found it and tossed it in book 5, but Kreacher rescued it from the rubbish and it remains buried amongst the filth in his room. Either that, or it was stolen by Mundungus Fletcher and sold to the barman at the Hog's Head in Hogsmeade. <BR/><BR/>Having not died, what will Harry do? Harry will not go on to be an Auror, but instead will be Hogwarts' Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. <BR/><BR/>Geek love at the G&T house.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15373687.post-47674168945108680282007-07-19T10:04:00.000-07:002007-07-19T10:04:00.000-07:00The 11 year old in question is dragging out her en...The 11 year old in question is dragging out her entourage for an evening of HP festivities at the public library to count down the hours to book release.
