Harry Potter Tease -- Will he die?

[Faster Master St. Pastor]

The Chicken travels to Memphis and becomes an Elvis impersonator but then finds out that his mentor's brother was the main character's best friend he ate.

That's brilliant; can I have you autograph?

[Harbinger]

I'm serious, here. Rak, please tell me, if the main character and his friends die midway through the book, what happens for the rest of the book?

[chunktile]

I have an idea! J.K. Rowling types a few more pages about how the world is after the deaths of all the main characters and then makes the book triple-spaced with 1.5 inch margins and kills more trees than her previous books combined!

[The Bot]

I think that he'll die right at the end of the seventh book.
But in doing so saves the world from voldemort or something similar.
It's so steriotypical, why can't they make a book where the main character dies half way through and his best friends get eaten by a large chicken, that would make a great book.

PS. When Potter does die, they should make a spin-off called Ginger Weasley, where Ron is the main character

But Ron would be dead; "...his best friends get eaten by a large chicken...".
Although a spin-off starring someone dead would certainly be original. And boring.

Not if J.K. pulled something where Ron is a ghost. Even that would be a rip off of some other stories, though.

Or she could just have Harry die and his spirit go back in time and start a new series about that, thus being in full compliance with her "only seven books" thing

or maybe hermione becomes amazingly powerful and finishes off voldemort herself! ha that would be funny

[Zenki_Fish]

I think he will die but that is just what i think

[Miyabi]

Yes, but when someone rights something that extends on what is already wrote, all they have to do in order to be able to publish it is put 'Based on the book such-and-such by so-and-so', and it is legal.

[Miyabi]

Okay, my personal theory is that in trying to kill Harry Voldemort accidently made Harry his seventh horcrux.  This could be what caused him to lose most of his power.  This would also explain the profecy which said that one cannot die as long as the other lives, or something along those lines.

So in order for Harry kill Voldemort, he himself will have to die.

Miyabi, please don't double post unless it's been like 30+ minutes between posting times, it's something that annoys the regulars around here and they'll point it out to you in probably less pleasant ways.

As I mentioned in your Hello thread there's a FAQ that would be a good idea to look through.  It's written mostly by EUOL so you could consider it a prequel of Elantris if that makes reading it easer.

You'd be surprised. This is really bizzare, but just today I read in some old blog on the Internet about a disgruntled fan who wrote and published a "corrected" version of HP and the Half-Blood Prince. I can't find the exact blog, but here's another link.

What a blithering idiot!
As a writer, this really bothers me. You, a fan and NOT the author of the work, cannot take it and change the book to suit your liking and then *publish* it (granted, it was on the Internet, but still). And you, a fan, are not in a position to say whether or not the author has followed "the true Harry Potter mythos." She created Harry Potter--it's her mythos, loser!!! She can do with it what she wants! And claiming that if you publish it the world and characters become the property of the people is just baloney. What about copyright? This sort of thing makes me really leery of fanfiction--and the people who write it. (If you read in the article about her version, you'll probably laugh at how stupid it is. I did.)

No wonder J. K. Rowling is tempted to kill off her characters--with pyscho fans like this woman!

But, all this aside, it does kind of sound like, with that "hate mail comment" discussed in the first post, that Harry might be in danger. And I'm getting pretty worried about Ron and Hermione, too.

Oh, that just made me crack up. "She just doesn't know Harry Potter like I do"

She's the author. She made him up. She is his creator. That is so fatuous, I cannot believe.

[Swiggly]

I think it would be wonderful if Harry is about to be killed by voldemort and dobby goes and kills him instead.

LOL. That's a good one, Sprig.

"You wear a disguise to look like human guise, but you're not a man you're a chicken, Boo."

I had a flash of the Animaniacs with the mention of the Elvis impersonating chicken.
