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:

I saw the interview that was posted. I do NOT think JK will kill off Harry Potter. He was desingned to suffer. NOT find peace. (HOWEVER inversely I do think he will date Ginny again.) I also think SNAPE will survive also.

Watson Lover: You're wrong, the prophecy actually says "Neither can live while the other survives," not dies. Thus it does NOT mean at all that Harry has to die if Voldemort dies, but only that they can't both live, one of them has to die--though as Dumbledore clears up in HBP, this is only because both Harry and Voldermort will never rest until one has killed the other, not because some outside prophecy compells them to do so. Thus if only one of the two will die and one will survive(as Harry says in OoTP, he will either be a murderer or murdered), it obviously won't be Harry dying and Voldemort surviving (because why would she want to end the series with Voldemort winning?). Therefore, one can conclude that Harry will probably survive and live in the end, as far as the prophecy goes. When JK mentioned sacrifices because fo evil, she probably meant that two people who are very close to Harry will die, and that his love for them will give him the power and strength that he needs to finally defeat Voldemort (because as Dumbledore says, Harry's greatest power in defeating Voldemort is his ability to love fiercely--and goodness knows, Harry doesn't really have anything else to face Voldemort yet, since he barely knows any killing/harming magic aside from Snape's spell and a few hexes). I just hope that it's not Ginny's death adn hsi love for her that will lead him to defeat Voldemort, because that would be way cheesy.

I posted it on my MySpace...I really don't think that Harry is going to die. JKR's recent statements did nothing more than confirm my belief that she can't and won't do it.

I have never thought that Harry needed to die at the end of book seven. I also hope that he doesn't. I think there are so many things that can be done to save Harry and as Ms. Rowling had stated in her interview,"Haryy has been through enough"! I love Harry and don't want him to die.

I cannot make myself vote for that. I do not want Harry to die. All right maybe some half of me thinks he will die because it is possible but maybe he will live happily ever after. It is So confusing

After reading JKR comments on how she doesn't want people to extend the series after it is done or after she passes away, I voted yes to Harry dying.

liddydee says:
i think he will die sadly! Nooooooooo! I would love him to survive but theres no way. Theres are clues in JKRowling's interview with Richard and Judy that says he is and that says he isnt. One where she says that to end a book you have to kill and character and she doesnt believe that, unless i heard wrong,...and if i did, i am so embarassed!

I think Harry will die. She'll kill him because she doesn't want to be hounded to write more books. I think Harry will die bravely, though. Look on the bright side of things!

I totally put that on my myspace. People know that I am obsessed with Harry Potter so they will probably come and vote just for me. When I put it on there it was just a link though. Is it susposed to be like that or is there susposed to be a picture?

Shadowmere says:
As for Harry dying... it would make sense in a certain way, but then again not. If he dies, does Voldemort win? Or do they both die? It would make sense that 'The Boy Who Lived' only lived to kill the man who tried to kill him, cursing him, and killed his parents. Then again, I don't want Harry to die! The poll is wonderful, but I can't wait to see--or read, rather--what happens!

Definitly not! Harry is not going to die because that would mean the bad guys won. Voldemort would get what he wanted in the first place, although, if Harry does die Voldemort would die also. Might as well wiat for the book on this one.

I wont base my answer in the prophecy because like dumbledore said it dosnt necessarily mean anything it just says it. My guess is that hell live but Jo can make anything happen so i dont know. We will all have to wait for the book to come out.

Well either way...I'm trying to prepare my self mentally for the end of the series. Oh sure we will have the last movie to look forward to but that will only hold us over for about a year and then BAM!! mass chaos will insue. HP fans flooding the streets in full costume regalia, rioting, turning over cars...quite a bloody revolt...I can just see it.

I vote yes. i bet most of the people are voting no 'cause they don't want him to die which i dont but...what is the liklihood of him living?? Voldemort is stronger, older and more expeiricenced.

I really don't want to see a lot of characters dead, but as it is a wizard's war there must be some victims.
I also voted for YES because it is the perfect end: Harry dies to save the world - or so...

Well i voted 'yes.' Not that i want Harry to die or anything..but if he does die then Jo won't be pestered to write any sequels to it so she might kill him off.

jamesthom says:
the prophey say either must die at the hand of the other. If harry dies Voldy lives. and vice versa. it also say neither can live if the other survives. so ONE has to die. will it be good or evil?? Who would you kill off?
