I know people that think that Neville and not Harry will kill Voldemort because deep down Harry isn't a killer and he doesn't want to be like Voldemart. He'll make his own choice. (And, they remind me, Gollum destroyed the ring, not Frodo -- to which I respond, bullsh**! Gollum was trying to steal it and fell into a pit of lava!)

Neville will have his moment to shine. He'll probably stand up to Harry, Ron and Hermione again.

Neville will have his moment to shine.

I think so, too. Over the weekend we watched GoF (okay, I'm not some HP nerd who watches HP whenever I have a spare 2 1/2 hrs., we hadn't watched it since we bought it-- I swear!) and in the books and the movies Neville is just the sweetest kid. Like Harry he's seen so much tragedy in his family and sort of been abused (Gran is a raging B!tch on wheels and is trying to force Neville to be his dads mini-me).

Bellatrix nearly had him at the ministry. I don't think he will let it happen again.

This would really suck, but what if Nevill killed Voldemort and in doing so, killed Harry at the same time.

Voldemort and Harry seem to be tied together in life and maybe death.

Neville is the perfect unlikely hero. But then maybe Draco will be the one to save the day. I truly have no idea. I hope the book lives up to its promise.
