HARRY POTTER: IS JK ABOUT TO KILL HIM OFF?

Fortunately, the most consistent aspect of the speculation that has swirled around about each book is that it is uniformly wrong. I have completely lost count of all the wild and incorrect rumors that have been through the mill.

[T'wit]

First cheerful news all morning.

watch what you say.......you may get zotted.

Ain't that the truth. Economic conservatives who don't thump Bibles are tolerated at best.

Economic conservatives

:).... isn't that just someone with no real morals but who is really tight with their money??

Well, she did kill off Dumbledore in the penultimate book which for modern readers was probably about as shocking as what Charles Dickens did to sad little Dora.

My bet though is that she'll kill off "he who must not be named". If there's another major plot twist it will probably involve Snape. If I were her (or her publisher) I'd want to keep Harry around in case her and their millions of pounds in the bank run short someday.

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidiculous

I would not rush to believe every word a paper like the Mirror has to say.

Not that I give a wet slap about Harry Potter one way or the other...but I have read the same notion about HP getting offed in book seven on several HP fan sites.

I was surfing for a particular photo of Rachel Dratch as HP on SNL and came across this scuttlebutt on several sites.

The Harry Potter books are much more entertaining.

Plus...I don't have to attend weekly services paying homage to Lord Voldemort or coughing up 10%+ of my income as an offering to his death eaters. :-)

Something tells me we haven't seen the last of Albus Dumbledore. But what do I know?

Harry Potter may die in the next book in the series because author JK Rowling wants to kill him off

For me, that'll be right up there with Leonardo DiCaprio's slow agonizing death in Titanic ...

Flame retardant suit on

You got it in one.

Now pardon me while I check my portfolio....

Someone's panties are in a bunch because the HP books have been outselling the Bible.

The latest Harry Potter installment is the best-selling ever, with 20M estimated for US sales.

the Bible will sell an estimated 24M hard copies in the US this year.

Yep. That's the case. All Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, deists, etc. have no real morals because they don't thump Bibles. /sarc

[GoforBroke]

Of course the death of Dumbledore maybe a practice run (not really dead) Snape and Dumbledore may have had this planned out in advance.

Potter Ping!

Uh yeah. A book makes you do that. Sure it does.

(Or worse yet, she'll send him back in time to grow up to become Dumbledore.)

You'll face angry mobs with pitchforks if this happens. I for one will blame you for giving her the idea. Watch your back.

"`All right,' said Harry; and this time he vanished quite slowly, beginning with the tips of his toes, and ending with the scar."

[peyton randolph]

Nice of you to point that out. However, we're talking books sales worldwide. Freebies from the Gideons or missionaries overseas don't count.

JK wants to make sure no one else follows her books with their own books.

I say "KILL HIM".
