If you haven't read the first six Harry Potter books, STOP right now and go get copies from your library or bookstore. Reading more of this will give away many of the carefully woven threads that run through the first books and spoil the fun. Knowing what's happened in the past will let you better decide what lies ahead for Harry...

As the forces of evil
grow stronger...
Unlike Snape, we're not able to look into the mind of JK Rowling to know what she has planned for Harry. What you'll find here are the results of our sometimes overactive imaginations.
Your guesses are as good as — and in many cases better than ours — but half of the fun of being a Harry Potter fan is weaving your own fantasies.
That being understood, for better or worse, here are our thoughts on what book 7 will reveal :
Dumbledore is not out of the picture (or should we say he is in the picture?) All of the prior headmasters of Hogwarts live on in their portraits. Dumbledore will be around in book seven to guide and advise Harry. We believe that Snape and Dumbledore planned the death scene in book six to make Voldemort think that the only wizard more powerful had been eliminated. Snape did what needed to be done at Dumbledore's command.
Which means that the Half-Blood Prince will turn out to be a good guy!
The forces of evil are strong and growing stronger. There will be many battles and adventures as Harry searches for the pieces of Voldemort's soul that are hidden throughout the world. He will find and destroy all but one of them. The last piece will be saved for the big finale...
The speculation on many sites is that the big death in book seven will be Harry himself. We think this is almost true...in a way.
It has been foretold that Harry will have the power to destroy Voldemort :
"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches, born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies, and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not, and either must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives"
Will Hermione's love
save the day?
If Voldemort is defeated, it will have to happen in Book 7.
We now know that Harry and the dark wizard can look into each others' thoughts. Dumbledore speculated that part of Lord Voldemort's powers were passed to Harry during the attack giving him the ability to speak to snakes and increasing his natural powers.
The death curse that killed his parents did not kill Harry, but left him with a scar that aches when Voldemort is close by. The speculation has always been Harry's mother, Lily, blocked the death curse. Her sacrifice was motivated by the oldest magic, pure love for her son. How angry and jealous would that have made Tom Riddle, who had never experienced love from his mother or anyone else? What could be the most horrible revenge he could inflict on the boy wizard?
Could it be that Voldemort used Harry to store one piece of his soul? This would mean that even if Harry did destroy him, he would still have a life as long as Harry existed.
What better ending than to have Harry, who is pure goodness and Voldemort who is the embodiment of evil meet in a struggle within Harry's mind. Both personalities would be destroyed in the battle with the surviving Harry Potter/Voldemort persona becoming the union of good and evil.
This is basically the solution that Neo and the agent Smith found in the Matrix movies. Pure good and pure evil join into one powerful balanced personality...yin and yang.
Neither can be whole without the other. The merged Harry would take a new name to indicate that he is a balanced blend of good and evil. This new person would be as moral as any other normal wizard.
We suspect that Hermione will have a hand in keeping Harry alive. Love saved him in the beginning and will push the balance in Harry's favor in the final meeting with Voldemort. The merged Harry could go on to marry Hermione and become the new Headmaster at Hogwarts.
Since he would be both Harry and Voldemort, Harry would be in command of the deatheaters and all of the evil forces.
How sweet would it be to have Malfoy actually taking orders from Harry Potter who is now merged with the soul of Voldemort?
We all have to wait for the answers -- when book 7 of the Harry Potter series is released -- to see where we go from here.

Ne svidja mi se kraj, dosta je nerealan. Medjutim vrlo je verovatno da ce dambldor biti na slici u hogvortsu i davati hariju savete sto oped dovodi do toga da ce hogvorts igrati vaznu ulogu. Ima nekih glupih misli, ali i dobrih ideja.
