The date has been set: the last, final, ultimate, epic, glorious, Potter-vs-Voldemort-there-can-be-only-one book is coming out on July 21st. 

Will Harry die?
Will Draco die?
Will Neville finally come into his own?
Which character will become a professor at Hogwarts?
What is Snapes' deep dark secret (and will he squeal like a pig when HE dies?)
Will Hermione and Ron hook up?
Will Percy finally get the smack upside the head he so richly deserves?
And what of little Ginny?

It's going to be a long 5 1/2 months...  :icon_dance:

The real question is....

Who is this guy dressed up as?

Gaah, not so soon! I'm not ready for it to be over yet   With that said, will the Barnes and Noble (or is it  Borders) in Manchester be selling at Midnight? If so, I am SO there. I will even take off work for this.

Hell, I even wrote Harry Potter Fanfic.

We, my oldest daughter and I, went to B&N for the last release party at midnight -- I was a total blast to see all the costumes and I read the entire book when I got home -- no sleep that night

Zoiks!  Little Daniel's all grown up, inn't he?  [editor's note: I was going to insert an emoticon here, but... let's just leave it at that.]

It might be time for Jason to issue a press release along the lines of "That is NOT me in the nudie pics and I don't have a pervie thing for horses."  You can't be too careful.

That's why I put it on the calendar, Rochelle; so we can start planning the party now. 

One year for Halloween I dressed up as Hermione after drinking the cat-hair-tainted polyjuice potion.  i.e. a witch with a cat face and tail  I thought it was sheer genius myself, but very few people seemed to get the reference.  Pearls before swine.

Jason is probably going to stick with the HP haircut.  The actor has, apparently,  changed his.

Com'mon, kbcraig, my daughter reads this.

[KBCraig]

Does she read mainstream news? That's where the pictures were.

Lol! I would have totally gotten it That's a good idea; I would have never thought of it

Friday and Rochelle are Geek Chicks!!!

I never thought this was news!

These are my guesses:

Will Harry die?

No

Will Draco die?

No (because sometimes, there is no justice)

Will Neville finally come into his own?

Yes.  He'll wreak vengeance for his parents.  Maybe he'll even hook up with Loony Luna.

Which character will become a professor at Hogwarts?

Tough one... Hermione is the obvious choice. But I'm going to go with Harry as DADA prof.

What is Snape's deep dark secret (and will he squeal like a pig when HE dies?)

Snape was in love with Lily.  That's why he has always hated Harry; he blames Harry for her death (because he's not big enough to admit to himself that he himself is far more responsible).  And yes... he will squeal.

Will Hermione and Ron hook up?

Yes.  They'll get married.

Will Percy finally get the smack upside the head he so richly deserves?

I don't know, but I sure hope so.  Actually, I hope he dies (although it would make Mrs. W cry).

And what of little Ginny?

She will become a professional quidditch player.

Will Fred and George start selling franchises?

Yes... if they don't blow themselves up/poison themselves first.
