The prophecy says that Harry must either be victim or murderer. I interpret that to mean that if Harry dies Voldemort lives. I don't think it will end like that. If it does, JKR is nuts.
`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.... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies...'
It says nothing about Harry not dying himself in the process. So I think his death is open to question.

well its just, how would she end it if he did die... i mean would it be like " and suddenly harry turned and once again he saw that green flash of light, and was gone. Hermione screamed and the world was doomed to live happily ever after under lord voldmorts rule. The end!" i mean... come on!
Sure you could. Harry could go out defeating Voldemort, the bad and good cancelling each other out, as it where.
If JK ever wants to truly end the series, she should have Harry go out in a blaze of glory. Or else she's going to be writing these books for the rest of her life. And I know there is only supposed to be 7 books, but between popular demand and the insane amount of zeroes that would be on a pay check, she'd write 7 more in a heartbeat.
Sounds to me that the HP fans just don't want the beloved hero to die. Not there's anything wrong with that.
Maybe she could leave it with HP not dead but not alive. Some kind of limbo, like the way that Trek series DS9 ended.
I think either Harry will live, or he will go to be with Sirius beyond the veil. I am leaning to live because if she killed him, she would have angry fans bugging her for the rest of her life.
I think that those within the Ministry (in certain positions) know EXACTLY what the deal is with the veil. And I would NOT be surprised to find that Dumbledore knows also.
I just can't see Harry dying. What if Sirius came back through, and was a huge part in helping Harry to destroy Voldemort?
