While I wouldn't put anything into the realm of impossible - somehow I think your co-worker misheard.

According to the newspaper article I read, she didn't say one of the main three. Just somebody.

She has, however, said that there is no guarantee that Harry will be alive at the end of book seven.

The running favorite seems to be Hagrid, with Uncle Vernon running a close second and Dumbledore running a far third.

I enjoyed reading this,from the HPLexicon site on book 6

Assuming that things take their usual course, here's some of what we can look forward to in the book:
Harry will be in his sixth year at Hogwarts in book six. The events of book six will presumably take place between July, 1996 and the end of June, 1997.
Muggles will be noticing unusual events without realizing that they are the result of Voldemort's return.
Calliope: Are the Muggle and Magical worlds ever going to be rejoined?
JK Rowling replies -> No, the breach was final, although as book six shows, the Muggles are noticing more and more odd happenings now that Voldemort's back. (WBD)
Neville will need another wand to replace that which was broken in the Department of Mysteries.
At the end of June 1996, Hermione's year-long ban on Rita Skeeter's writing will end.
We'll learn more about the circumstances of Voldemort's birth in this book (WBD)
"Ministry...guides to elementary home and personal defense...will be delivered free to all wizarding homes [by the end of July] (OP38)." Depending on the definition of "wizarding home", this may come as a bit of a shock to the families of Muggle-born students such as Dean Thomas, who hasn't kept his family informed about the various dangerous happenings at Hogwarts in the last few years (OP11).
In July 1996, each of the returning sixth year students will receive an owl with their Ordinary Wizarding Level results (OP31).
If the Quidditch season takes place as usual, the Gryffindor team will hold tryouts for at least two Chaser positions. If Harry has been reinstated as Seeker by then, Ginny Weasley plans to try out for Chaser at that point (OP26). Gryffindor will also need a new team captain. The team as it currently stands (assuming that Harry is allowed to play and that Ginny is made a Chaser) is as follows:
Keeper - Ron Weasley
Seeker - Harry Potter
Chasers - Ginny Weasley and Katie Bell (one spot open)
Beaters - Jack Sloper and Andrew Kirke
In March of the coming school year, Ron will turn seventeen, and will therefore be of age in the wizarding world and old enough to obtain a license to Apparate.
Harry will turn 16 at the beginning of the book. Neville will turn 16 on July 30, a day before Harry.
Hermione will turn 16 on September 19 (or 17, depending on which side of the "Hermione's Age" debate you fall)
Ginny will turn 15 on August 11. (JKR)
According to Rowling, there will be a new Minister of Magic, but it won't be Arthur Weasley (JKR)
We will meet Grawp again, and this time around he'll be a bit more controllable (WBD)
This book, Rowling has stated, will be almost part one of a two-part book, the second half being book seven. The war has begun and the saga is now moving toward the ultimate confrontation. NOTE: This doesn't mean that book six is not its own complete story or that it will take two books to cover Harry's sixth year at Hogwarts.
Harry will spend some time in Privet Drive, but JKR has said that this will be his shortest stay yet.
Before arriving at school, Harry will encounter or hear about someone who will be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher (this has happened in each book so far, usually before he even leaves on the train).
On September 1, Harry and his friends will travel to Hogwarts aboard the Hogwarts Express. On September 2, which will be a Monday, they will start their classes.
At the Welcoming Feast, Harry and his friends will meet their new DADA teacher, find out if both Firenze and Trelawney will teach Divination, and hear a new Sorting Hat song
Harry will start NEWT-level classes, which will include Potions but not Divination. We'll also learn what career paths Hermione and Ron have chosen.
In Transfiguration, the sixth years will start learning human transfiguration spells. (OP)
We will learn more about Peter Pettigrew and Rowling does not leave out the possibility of redemption for him:
Rita: What about Wormtail? Is there hope for redemption?
JK Rowling replies -> There's always hope, of course. You'll find out more about our rat-like friend in book six. (WBD)
As June rolls around, Harry will find himself once again in a one-on-one confrontation with Voldemort or the Death Eaters

Hmmm... well... doen't this tell us that Harry got an "O" on his Potions O.W.L??? Didn't Snape say he only took Outstanding students into his N.E.W.T. classes?

I can't see Harry's getting an "O"...

But then again, didn't he do the Potions examination WITHOUT Snape...?
Probably alot of people did better without Snape hovering around. LOL

I wonder, was that said, or is just a deduction by the people at HPLexicon??

I'd have to go back and look, there was a lot more posted, but this was the "fun" stuff, I'm thinking the owner of the Lexicon is in contact with JK - they've met, etc...

WEnt back here's more interesting info..

About H-BP


The first chapter of the book has been discussed by Rowling on her website. Here's what she says about it:
I have come close to using a chapter very like this in 'Philosopher's Stone' (it was one of the discarded first chapters), 'Prisoner of Azkaban' and 'Order of the Phoenix' but here, finally, it works, so it's staying. And that's all I'm going to say, but when you read it, just know that it's been about thirteen years in the brewing.
The title does not refer to either Harry or Voldemort (JKR)
The title of the sixth book is not "The Truth." Here's an email we've gotten a lot of lately along with Penny's repsonse:
Your site said book six is going to be THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE. On JKR's web site it says the title is THE TRUTH. Has her site just not been updated. Which one is it?
Yes, the title is "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." The reason that the news blurb relating to this matter is entitled "The Truth" on Rowling's website is somewhat complicated. In short, someone claimed to have broken into Rowling's website and discovered that the title for Book 6 was "Harry Potter and the Pillar of Storge." This rumor circulated wildly for at least three days before Rowling finally addressed the issue on her website. The real title was given behind the door that only opens for short periods of time.


Assuming that things take their usual course, here's some of what we can look forward to in the book: (and then what I posted)

Also on the "home page" of the lexicon I found this very interesting letter posted to JK...

Letter

Not surprisingly, we're thrilled to know that you visit the Lexicon and MuggleNet on occasion. We are delighted that the work we've done is helpful and appreciated, not only to you but also to fans all over the world. Thank you so much for honoring us on your site.

It goes on to list questions, and 2 or 3 werer answered and link back to her...

J.K. Rowling Completes 6th Potter Novel

By HILLEL ITALIE
The Associated Press
Tuesday, December 21, 2004; 12:58 AM

NEW YORK - Harry Potter readers, here's an extra special holiday gift: J.K. Rowling announced Monday that she has completed the sixth Potter novel, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."

"I know you all expected this to happen on Christmas Day, but I was sure that those of you who celebrate Christmas have better things to do on the day itself than fight your way into my study, whereas those of you who DON'T celebrate Christmas would definitely prefer not to wait until the 25th," the British author wrote in a message posted on her Web site.

Rowling noted that while she is pregnant with her third child, she has had the time "needed to tinker with the manuscript to my satisfaction and I am as happy as I have ever been with the end result. I only hope you feel it was worth the wait when you finally read it."

Rowling's U.S. publisher, Scholastic Inc., said a release date would be announced Tuesday morning.

With the new Potter book almost certain to come out in 2005, fans should be spared the seemingly interminable three-year wait between Potter IV, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," and Potter V, "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix," which came out in the summer of 2003. Rowling did not say whether the new book's length would top the industrial-sized 870 pages of "Order of the Phoenix."

Rowling's announcement is also great news for booksellers, who have endured another year of slow sales. More than 100 million copies of the fantasy series, which debuted in 1997, are in print, and "Order of the Phoenix" sold an astonishing 5 million copies within 24 hours of publication. Sales have remained phenomenal even as Rowling's books have grown longer and darker, reflecting the boy wizard's maturation into adolescence.

Hollywood has benefited, too; the first three Potter books have been made into hit movies. The books have also inspired countless Potter paraphernalia, including candy, cakes, capes and toys.

Rowling has said that one of her characters will not survive her sixth book, but she refused to identify that character.

Potter himself is safe, at least for now. Rowling has said her teenage hero will survive until the seventh and final book in the series, but has refused to say whether he will reach adulthood.

Only recently, the book's completion seemed far away. In a message posted Dec. 10, Rowling said she had nothing "noteworthy to report, because I have been spending nearly all my time sitting in front of my computer writing, rewriting and taking the occasional break to bang my head off the desk in frustration or else rub my hands together in fiendish glee (I think the latter has happened once)."

Oh Giggle, if you get those ingredients, you'll be given a page of a manuscript from the first Harry Potter...
Or either a page of J.K's notes, I can't remember which at this point..

There's a ton of little hidden things to find at her website.

I can never catch the fly though! I've gotten the leaves, ink well, and feather already. I thought maybe that it was a pictogram or whatever - add the items to get a clue, etc.

Thanks Neko.

You have to wait for the fly to stop right on the page of the news, or by the news on her desk..
That's where I always catch it..

And, it a manuscript of a chapter from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, right after Harry's made Seeker.
