When last we checked, a slim majority of fans said Harry Potter would die in the last book in JK Rowling's series.
The informal poll, conducted by HPANA, garnered over 45,000 votes and was even cited by The Sun in an article.
With Rowling's recent revelations about upcoming deaths, we decided to ask again: Dead meat, or life so sweet?
Unlike our last poll, however, you only get two choices: Yay or nay.
Vote now and spread the word.
Put the poll on your web site, blog or journal! Just copy and paste the following code:

It is really hard to tell what the 7th book will bring. I just hope that Harry does not die.Honestly I don't want anyone elsde to die othe rthan the bad guys but I know that is impossible.
So at least keep Harry Ron & hermione alive amongst them.
Whether she kills off Harry or not I don't think she will be that pressured to continue the series if she has already made up her mind.
Ohhhh I don't know,thinking about it is making me upset.

There's no way Jo will kill off Harry at the end of book 7. It just doesn't add up. His death would completely undermine the moral message of the series. Plus, Jo is so selfless - she wouldn't make Harry die just because she doesn't want pressure to write another book, or because another author might eventually try to steal the HP franchise (like that would work anyway).

Poor Harry! I don't think Harry's going to really bite the dust though. When watching that interview, I didn't get that impression. She was mainly saying she understood why some authors want to kill off their main characters.

I voted yes, i think he will have to die for voldemort to die, or risk his life to kill LV and die in the process, a heros death sort of, as he was always shown as a hero in the books, and plus, if he died, JK wouldent be pressured to write more...

ko so its good to know there arent many people voting for Harry to die... but you know JKR has a point... if Harry dies then there'd be no more speculations or further questions as to what will happen next.

Voted no. I think the possibility is 50-50 but something inside me is saying that she'll find another way to permentantly end the series.

I voted yes. Seeing that JK would kill Harry to prevent future authors from writing a sequel, and that Harry Potter will still be famous in the future.

The first vote I thought Harry whould give his life for another. Now after hearing J.K.Rowling talk about it, I think Harry's going to make it. I hope the reprieve is for Dumbledore.

I don't want Harry to die, and I don't understand why people want him dead. If she doesn't want to write more books about Harry after the 7th book she doesn't have to. Just cause he is alive doesn't mean we have to read more books. It would be nice, but not deadly necessary.

I voted no. It would spoil everything if Harry dies. Even if everyone else snuffs it, I really really hope Harry lives as he deserves it after all that he has been through.

Harry will die! There's no way he survive, if my theory is right, then he will die. You all know about the scar thing.

I think he will, even though I hope that it won't happen. It seems to have been building up to it for awhile. The scar thing is definatley a possibility. Sigh.... please don't die Harry...even if it's for the good of the world...

I just voted... I hate to say that, but I believe Harry won't survive book 7... he'll save the world by defeating Voldemort, I'm sure about that, but I think he'll die doing it... I don't believe Jo whould just kill Harry because she doesn't want others to write more books, Harry will sacrifice hiself for the people he loves that's what she was planning from the begining, I think. It's so sad tho, I wish that didn't happen, but that's just who Harry is.
Harry's only family now are Ron and Hermione and if they die Harry would be devastated, no point in living without them and things like that....

I vote NO too!
There are just too many variables as to whether he will or won't die. No one wants a hero to die. But come on, there are always more heros to be created though. And JKR isn't the type to be driven by money. Kill the hero, kill the franchise/merchandise of the series. There are so many more possibilities. Too many to many to type in today and bore everyone.
My heart says PLEASE DON'T KILL HARRY! But my gut says it's extremely possible. I'm a hopeless romantic and optimist. (Fingers crossed, prayers said...for Harry to stay alive.)

I'm surprised so many people here say he will die. I mean come on, how many childrens books do you know where the hero dies at the end? Yeah there are some corny, tear inducing, one dimensional stories but apart from that... Not to mention that the books are written from Harry's point of view. You can't just kill your point of view, can you? So I say, no way.

That’s not exactly like my last message but I cannot decide…
Harry has been through so much, he deserves a happy live, and killing him of so he can go back to his (dead) family just does not seem right…Ahhhh… I have no idea what to believe! He should have a chance to live his live the way he wants, not trying to save the world! He’s just a teenager!
Maybe just a part of him dies with the scar but he survives??? Can’t that happen???
Ron and Hermione would never let Harry die…they both risked their lives to protect him in the past. Maybe they are the 2 people that die in the end…
I would cry by eyes out if he died, that would be just too terrible…
Harry has to live!!! But…. There are worse things than death…
