Alright, I've been reading everyone's theory on what will happen to Harry and Voldemort in the next two books, and I felt like I should post a logical idea. I put it behind a lj-cut because I'm suppose to believe that some of you people still haven't gotten around to reading the 5th book.



Okay, so let's think about the most important and basic idea. JKR is writting CHILDREN'S books. These books are aimed at kids at a much younger age than we are. In all children's books, evil is ALWAYS overcome by good. Good always wins, it never loses. Kids are taught at a very early age that good will always beat evil, it trys to teach kids to always be good and behave. If kids were to read books where evil overcomes the good in the world, children wouldn't behave or doing anything that they're told. Kids,and us now, wouldn't have hope if all we read when we were little is that the world is evil and no matter how good and brave you are, you're going to lose.

So, put this to Harry Potter. In the 5 books we've read so far, good has overcome the evil. Everytime Voldemort(evil) has attempted to come back, his plans were thwarted by Harry and his friends(goodness). How tramatizing would it be for a child reading these books to have his HERO killed in the end by one of the most evil people? Yes, there is the prophecy at the end of book 5, that suggest that Harry will be killed, but he won't be. We, here at Hogsmeade, are the older HP readers, and we over analyze these books way too much. The prophecy is there to scare the younger children, to make them think a little bit more, to scare them a wee bit, but they know that their hero of the past 5 books will not die. JKR doesn't have a black heart, she wouldn't do that.

And yes, I know Sirius died and I know it was sad, but is that really the end of the world? He wasn't a major character, and for most of book 3, we hated him because we thought he was the one that betrayed James and Lily, and was now trying to harm our little Harry. The point is that JKR knows what she's doing. She's only killed off characters that were insignificant, but we are okay with it, because they'll come back to help us or they'll make us feel better. If you don't understand that, I'm talking about when Diggory dies in book 4, you were shocked at first, but because he came back through Harry's wand, he calmed us down and there was resolution in his death. The same will happen with Black. He'll come back and we'll have our resolution. Okay, so the point I'm making out of this paragraph is that JKR knows what she's doing. She knows that it's hard for kids to cope with death. She had to make sure that we were okay with Diggory's death, even though he wasn't a big character at all. But, to kill off Harry Potter, our hero, would be heartbreaking. It would be horrible, and there is no absolute way the get resolution from your favorite character dying, especially at a young age. And, if Voldemort dies, then we'd all be okay with it, because he's an evil person, and kids just think he deserved it. They wouldn't cry over him.

I know I wrote a lot, and I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense. I wrote it rather quickly. Let me know what y'all think.
