Harry Potter is Going to Die!

No, I'm not sure if Harry Potter is going to die or not, but I think so.

To be honest, I don't really care if Potter is going to die or not, the most important thing that I wanted to find out is whether Snape is on Voldemort's side or Dumbledore's side.

I was an avid fan of the series, but as I get older, I got a bit apathetic. I can't really remember what happened in the fifth and sixth book, except a general blurred outline of the big things that happened and who died.I did remember just flipping through the pages of the last two books and read the death scenes, and upon reminder, I also remembered that there was A LOT of teenage angst in the fifth book, and it was kind of annoying.


Anyway, I have never loved Harry Potter the character. He was always a bit too nosy, too rash, too hotheaded. Not my type of guy. In fact, my favorite character is Severus Snape, the sarcastic and complex potion master. I always have a thing for anti-heroes, characters that are dark and quiet, yet there's more to them than just being the typically "bad". Byronic heroes, that's the type of character that I like.

When I heard that two important characters is going to die in the Deathly Hollows, my first instinct was that it's going to be Harry Potter and Snape. You know, Harry suffers an injury fighting Voldemort, and the last minute Snape comes in and tries to help Harry and he dies saving Harry. Then Harry kills Voldemort and dies a heroic death killing Voldemort.

But, I don't think it's going to be this simple and easy. I was constantly surprised when I was reading the books, so I believe that I will be surprised in this one too. There's already a few "endings" that leaked online (which I never bothered to search for),and I'm sure that people are going to go nuts and wait in front of the bookstore and dress in Gryffindor attire and scream for the new book. Hey, this book mesmerized millions.

Oh well, I'll buy the book on the first day that it comes out, but I'm sure as hell not going to wait in line and dress in costumes. If it's all sold out, I'm just going to get one off Amazon.com.
