Being a devoted Harry Potter fan, I have put a lot of thought into what will happen in book 7. These are my book 7 predictions. Whether or not these events will actually take place is uncertain, but many of them are quite promising. If you haven't read books 1-6, be aware that this article contains spoilers.

Harry Potter Book 7 Predictions #1: Harry is a Horcrux

This Harry Potter prediction is very popular. Many people believe that book 7 will end with fans discovering that Harry Potter is a horcrux and must die in order for Voldemort to die. Whether or not Voldemort meant to place part of his soul into his mortal enemy is uncertain, but it's still a prediction that many believe to be true.

Harry Potter Book 7 Predictions #2: Voldemort Will Die

This book 7 prediction is pretty obvious. If Voldemort didn't die, evil would have succeeded. Obviously, Voldemort will have to die and Harry Potter will be the cause of his death. How Harry kills Voldemort is still uncertain, but many believe it will involve sacrifice.

Harry Potter Book 7 Predictions #3: Snape is Not Evil

J.K. Rowling has repeatedly fooled fans into thinking Snape was evil. In book 1, fans thought Snape was trying to kill Harry Potter, but he was actually trying to save him. This book 7 prediction is constantly under debate after what happened in book 6, but many fans do believe that Snape really is fighting for the good side.

Harry Potter Book 7 Predictions #4: Snape Will Try to Protect Harry

Harry Potter fans will see the previous book 7 prediction come true as Snape protects Harry Potter. Again, Snape will come to Harry's rescue, but he may have to pay the ultimate price for doing so.

Harry Potter Book 7 Predictions #5: Snape Will Die

As Snape protects Harry, he will perish. This book 7 prediction may happen as Voldemort tries to kill Harry. Snape may very well put himself in the line of fire and be subjected to the Avada Kedavra curse.

Harry Potter Book 7 Predictions #6: The War Will Cover Both Worlds

In book 7, Muggles and Wizards will fight the war against Voldemort. This book 7 prediction does not automatically make Muggles good. In fact, I predict that Muggles will fight on both sides. There are, after all, good and evil humans.

Harry Potter Book 7 Predictions #7: Ron or Hermione Will Die

This book 7 prediction is based on the fact that J.K. Rowling has stated that no one can help Harry Potter. He must fight the war alone. When people become too close to Harry, they seem to meet a horrible fate. Just look at Sirius and Dumbledore.

Harry Potter Book 7 Predictions #8: Dumbledore Will Return

This book 7 prediction is based on an interview in which Dan Radcliffe stated that J.K. Rowling told him she was having trouble with Dumbledore. She said he was in book 7. How Dumbledore returns is still under debate. He may only be seen in his office portrait or he may come back from the dead. No one knows except J.K. Rowling.

Harry Potter Book 7 Predictions #9: The Truth about Snape Will Be Revealed

There have been many debates over why Snape protected Harry Potter in book 1. Many people believe that is has something to do with Snape and Lily Potter. Regardless of how Snape fits into Harry Potter's life, it will all be revealed in book 7.

Harry Potter Book 7 Predictions #10: Harry Will Die

This book 7 prediction should come as no surprise to true Harry Potter fans. Harry will die. This is a very dark series and fans have seen many other characters die off. The good part is Harry's death will, more than likely, be a sacrifice. He will have to die in order for Voldemort to die.

    Hmmmm... Harry dies(not for long), his eyes are just eyes, he is the person in the prophicy, Volemort dies (duh), Harry is a horcrux, the snake is a horcrux,and thats about it. Ohh I forgot, Snape is a good guy.

    R.A.B is Sirius's brother, Snape dies, Dumbledore is DEAD, Harry is related to Godric Griffendor, I'll think of more later.

    My sister is so obsessed with Snape, it drives me insane.She's going to cry her eyes out when Snape dies...Ehhh..It would be pretty sad, wouldn't it? I'm very excited to see Harry Potter and his friends arriving in the muggle world and...etc...( enough with my stupid talk.But nevertheless, I'm really crazy about the next two films of Harry Potter!:)(:(:(::)Life is good

    i think R.A.B is rookwood and bagman because they were both friends and rookwood was a spy for voldermort and worked in the department of mysteries. the department of mysteries works on things such as souls (related to horcuxes), prophecies, love, mystery, etc....
    let me know what u think

  • Moonio7/19/2007

    I think Harry is a horcrux because harry has visions and seems connected to the dark lord so that my theory.

  • WaMu7/17/2007

    The number seven prediction seems true but I think that it will be Ginny who gets the axe and not Ron or Hermione. Ginny is the one who seems to have gotten closer to Harry in the last book. And they did break up because Harry thought Voldemort would use her to get to him.

  • freebird7/17/2007

    I think that Harry will die just as Trelawney predicted in the 3rd book. Trelawney did after all correctly predict that the Dark Lord would rise to power again and his assistant would return to him the same night she made the prediction. In the same book, at the Christmas feast she said that when 13 people dine at a table the first to stand would die (page 228). Both Harry and Ron stood up at around the same time. Later in the 5th book Serious was the first person at a table of 13 to stand up and of course he dies. This means that her 13 people at a table rule is true as well. She even knew that Dumbledore was going to die. On page 543, in book 6, she tried to warn Dumbledore that something bad was going to happen to him on the tower.

    Harry cant be a horcrux because voldemort has spent the last 6 years trying to kill him soo why would voldemort try to kill part of his soul????

  • shaq attaq7/8/2007

    i think it's going to be neville. because in reality, the prophecy could be about either harry or neville. voldemort decided that it was harry, so he began to focus all of his energy on that. prophecies are self-fulfilling, so it was going to happen to matter what. i believe that harry is also a horcrux. he is going to have to go beyond the veil to remove the horcrux from himself (sirius will be his guide), then when he returns, voldemort will kill him. after voldemort kills harry, i believe that it will be up to neville to kill voldemort.

    Hey Harry cannot be a horcrux. Why? Because in order to make a horcrux its not just killing someone.... remember what slughorn said? it involves a spell which slughorn does not know. i guess it involves a few minute long process. So now the question is when did voldermort have time to put a bit of his soul on harry... as soon as he killed james he went for harry and then lily came in the way. After killing Lily he could make a horcrux out of harry but why would he want to do that as he was about to kill harry the next minute... I mean who wants to rip his soul and put it in something that is about to be killed? and then after he failed to kill harry he was almost dead when he fled. now when he came back and got his body back he didnt have time again to make a horcrux out of harry coz he was busy again trying to kill harry... so thats my theory
