Harry Potter is Dead. Or he might not be. Does anyone really know at this point? I just don't see what the big deal is.

Harry Potter might be dead and he might not be, but should it really matter all that much. Either way everyone will end up loving the book, and the movie that follows.

Harry Potter is just a story and all stories have to have an ending. It seems like the best way to end a story, once and for all is to have the main character die.

I kind of hope that he is killed off in the last book, because then I won't have to live through the rumors of an eighth Harry Potter book until the day I die, or until their actually is an eighth book.

If I were J.K. Rowling, and with her kind of money I kind of wish I was, I would keep Harry Potter alive. If there is anything that MC Hammer has taught us it is that you can go through money pretty quick if you don't know what you are doing.

If she leaves Harry Potter alive than there is always a chance that she could make another book if she runs out of cash. If that happens she should net another couple hundred million dollars with the new book and movie deals, not to mention all the memorabilia that would be made. What better way for a person to relive their childhood when they are 40 than to dress up for a Harry Potter movie like they did when they were 10.

I am not a very big Harry Potter fan. I have seen the movies, but I have never read the books. Maybe my opinion isn't any good, maybe I just don't understand what this Harry Potter thing is all about, but it would be a much better ending if he died.

The only trouble is that if he dies that may teach kids that evil sometimes wins and good doesn't always prevail. But in this world where we seemingly are pulled towards the easiest and sometimes darkest solutions, is it really such a bad thing to teach kids that not even those with special powers are invincible to the evil things that are in the world.

Sure it may break some little kids hearts, and even that big 50 year-old kid in the wizard hat in the 10th row, but Harry Potter dying might not be so bad.

For the record, I do not think Harry Potter will die.

Harry Potter is Dead... Or Is He?

Harry Potter may, or may not, die in his final book.

I can't stomach Potter myself but my kids almost seem to like him now. I may have to read them the books and they own the movies but never watch them. I do think it is time to end it before it turns to crap. Not many series go on this long. We all know what happened to Stephen Kings Tower series .... End it now lol.

I have never read any of the books; have seen the movies. I'm just waiting for someone to give away the plot.

After getting through all those books, something big needs to happen. It may not be Harry Potter dying, but it cannot be as simple as Voldemort being destroyed. We will see.
