But rumors regarding the book and predicting what wud be the ultimate conclusion of the Harry Potter series, did not yet end. Below r many such rumors that will increase the interest of the readers, so…….enjoy!!!

Harry
· The true and final loyalty of Severus Snape and Draco Malfoy should be revealed, with an explanation of Dumbledore’s death at the hands of Snape, and in Snape’s reporting of the prophecy about Harry Potter to Voldemort. A confrontation between Snape and Harry is expected.
· Dumbledore’s brother Aberforth, mentioned briefly in Goblet of Fire (Ch. 24), will appear as a major character, probably the barman of the Hog’s Head.
· Wormtail may play a significant role in upcoming events. At the end of Prisoner of Azkaban (ch. 22), Dumbledore tells Harry:
“Pettigrew owes his life to you. You have sent Voldemort a deputy who is in your debt. . . . When one wizard saves another wizard’s life, it creates a certain bond between them . . . and I’m much mistaken if Voldemort wants his servant in the debt of Harry Potter. . . . This is magic at its deepest, its most impenetrable, Harry. But trust me . . . the time may come when you will be very glad you saved Pettigrew’s life.”
Information from J.K. Rowling
· J.K. Rowling said that Harry might get another pet at some point. She also hinted that Fawkes, Dumbledore’s phoenix, might have another role.
· In an interview with Tatler magazine, J.K. Rowling confirmed that she had decided upon a title, saying: “I so nearly told you the title, it almost popped out…”. Like the other books in the series, it is expected to begin with “Harry Potter and the…”.
· Rowling wrote the last chapter of the book some time ago, to give her an ending to work up to. The last word of the seventh book, according to Rowling, is currently “scar” [3], but she has also said it may change, along with the whole last chapter she has previously written. This last chapter contains details of what happens to each surviving character.
“This is the thing that I was very dubious about showing you… (T)his is the final chapter of book seven. This is really where I wrap everything up, it’s the epilogue. And I basically say what happens to everyone after they leave school – those who survive – because there are deaths – more deaths coming. It was a way of saying to myself, ‘Well, you will get it, you will get to book seven one day. And then you’ll need this!’ So I’d just like to remind all the children I know who come around my house and start sneaking into cupboards that it’s not there anymore – I don’t keep it at home anymore for very, very, very obvious reasons. So there it is.” J. K. Rowling

· JKR has stated that she has had enough of writing about Quidditch, and there will be no Quidditch matches in Book 7.
· We will learn something very important about Lily in book seven:
“Now, the important thing about Harry’s mother – the really, really significant thing – you’re going to find out in two parts. You’ll find out a lot more about her in book five, or you’ll find out something very significant about her in book five, and you’ll find out something incredibly important about her in book seven.” J. K. Rowling
.JKR has long said that Harry’s eyes resembling his mother’s is important.
· Severus Snape has been an important and enigmatic character throughout the books, as his true loyalty has always remained unclear. It is to be anticipated that as a surviving major character his loyalty will be settled in the final confrontation of the book.
Questioner: There’s an important kind of redemptive pattern to Snape.
JKR: He, um, there’s so much I wish I could say to you, and I can’t because it would ruin. I promise you, whoever asked that question, can I just say to you that I’m slightly stunned that you’ve said that and you’ll find out why I’m so stunned if you read Book Seven. That’s all I’m going to say.[6]
· She has stated we will learn more about Peter Pettigrew and Dumbledore.

· She refused to comment when asked whether the locked door in the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic would feature in the final book.
· At the Edinburgh book festival, Rowling mentioned that something more would be revealed about Petunia Dursley. Nothing of note occurred in book 6, so this remains to be discovered.
“..there is a little bit more to Aunt Petunia than meets the eye…She is not a squib, although that is a very good guess. Oh, I am giving a lot away here. I am being shockingly indiscreet”.
· Whether related or not, Rowling has also said that some non-magical character will perform magic late in life in desperate circumstances. However she has also said that Aunt Petunia will not perform magic.
· Also at Edinburgh, Rita Skeeter was mentioned: “She is loathsome…but I can’t help admiring her toughness.. There is more to come on Rita”
· And on Dolores Umbridge, “It’s too much fun to torture her not to have another little bit more before I finish”
· Viktor Krum is set for a reappearance. 
· We will discover what was Dudley’s sad memory when he stood in front of the Dementors in Wisteria Walk.
· The two-way mirror given to Harry by Sirius, and his flying motorbike will return. Rowling refused to comment whether Sirius Black himself might in some way reappear, but said there was a reason why he had to die.
· Dumbledore was seen to have a ‘gleam of triumph’ in his eyes when told that Voldemort had restored his body using Harry’s blood, at the end of Goblet of Fire (ch. 36,Parting of the ways). Rowling has confirmed that this is “still enormously significant”.
· Someone from Harry’s class, not who most readers would expect, and also not Ron, will become a Hogwarts teacher. This seems to indicate that Hogwarts will indeed reopen, though possibly not until the events of book 7 have transpired.
· JK Rowling has been consulted on the film versions of the books, so as to ensure that important aspects of the story do not get omitted or changed. After completion of Prisoner of Azkaban she was interviewed and commented that she was startled by clues which had crept into the film, relating to the final outcome of the series. In particular, she referred to the scene where Remus Lupin talks to Harry about his mother, but she may have meant other scenes as well.

· On her website, in the Rumours Sections, there is the question, Book Seven will be called “Harry Potter And The Pyramids of Furmat”, this is answered by J. K. Rowling with: The Pyramids Of Furmat lie a few miles east of the famous Fortress Of Shadows, not far from the magnificent Pillar Of Storgé. Many tourists prefer to view these ancient monuments at night, when they are illuminated by the Green Flame Torch. All of these ‘landmarks’ are really former rumored names for the various Harry Potter books, so it is unlikely they will be mentioned in Book Seven, unless put in as some sort of gag.
· There are indications that “at least two” of the main characters will die. In a June 2006 interview about the previously-written ending, JK Rowling admitted that:
“One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn’t intend to die…A price has to be paid. We are dealing with pure evil…They go for the main characters, or I do”.
· When further questioned in June 2006 about authors who kill off their main characters, Rowling said “I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks, well, I’m going to kill them off because that means there can be no non-author-written sequels’”.
Spoilers end here.

Beyond Book Seven
· There isn’t a university after Hogwarts and further Harry Potter books. :Q: Do you think that you will write about Harry after he graduates from Hogwarts? Isn’t there a University of Wizardry?
A: (T)here’s no University for Wizards. At the moment I’m only planning to write seven Harry Potter books. I won’t say “never,” but I have no plans to write an eighth book.
· When asked about other books similar to Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Rowling has said that she would consider writing them at some point and that they would also be written for charity. She also mentions writing an encyclopedia-style tome on all the major characters, also for charitable purposes.
· Shortly before the release of book 5, in an interview for the BBC, she was asked about Harry’s future by Jeremy Paxman:
JEREMY PAXMAN: So you know what is going to become of all the major characters over the span of the series?
JK ROWLING: Yeah..yeah.
JEREMY PAXMAN: Why stop when they grow up? Might be interesting to know what becomes of Harry as an adult.
JK ROWLING: How do you know he’ll still be alive?
JEREMY PAXMAN: Oh. At the end of book seven?
JK ROWLING: It would be one way to kill off the merchandising.
· When questioned about possible future books, she jokingly suggested Harry Potter’s mid-life crisis?
