A Crackpot Theory on how the books will end (still good)

[Dumbledores Master]

I think that voldemort will try to attack hogwarts. That will only be a distraction because Voldemort will try to get to harry and destroy him. Dumble dore will meet him in the entrance hall and they will duel. The school will have been evacuated using floo powder and illegal portkeys Harry will have stayed behind because Trelawney had a true vision and Harry heard her while she was saying that Dumbledore will sacrifice himself and that Harry will need to use the sword of Godric Gryffindor to destroy voldemort. This happens a week earlier but no one believes him and dumbledore is locked in his office for unknown reasons. Voldemort kills Dumbledore and continues looking for harry.Harry rushes to Dumbledores office and siezes the sword. When he turns around he sees Voldemort there. After some chatting voldemort tries to kill harry but the sword absorbs it. Harry runs at voldemort and slices down. But as soon as the sword touches Voldemort they are transported to Godrics hollow where two wizards are duelling. One is Salazaar the other is Godric.What they are seeing is a vision of what happened in the past. Godric runs at Salazaar and runs him through with the sword of Gryffindor. There is more talking and then harry runs at Voldemort again and they are both blown back by the force of the ensueing gusts of wind emanating from the poin of the blow. Voldemort is killed and then all the terrible things voldemort did were reversed and Harry meets his parents.

Its crazy but interesting plz reply with your ending theories.

i agree that there will be an attack on Hogwarts

[Ferrus]

An attack on Hogwarts is a possibility that is quite interesting, in fact Dumbledores Master´s theory is quite possible except for the reversal of Voldemorts evil doings.

[Evil Wizard Petting Zoo]

Interesting theory, why don't you write in the fanfic page.

Ok, here's what I think:

1. I think that part about DD saying "there are other ways of destroying a man"
2. The stuff in the locked room in the DoM that Harry has so much of inside him (love/emotion seems to be the general consensus to that)
3. In CoS DD says, "I will only be gone when there are no more who are loyal to me" (something like that)
4. I think Voldemort has to be at the absolute peak of his powers before he can be completely destroyed, when Harry got him when he was a baby, Voldemort wasn't as powerful as he is going to be in books 6,7, so he almost died. I'm taking this from the prophecy Trelawney made in PoA, "he will return greater and more terrible than ever before."

So, all Voldys followers will be killed or "reformed" so Voldy has no friends. Then Harry somehow uses his love which Voldy can't stand to "destroy" him somehow.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Maybe the power of Harry's love for someone will give him the power to defeat voldy in the end.

great fanfic, but as far as I can tell, completely baseless theory.

there are a few things I don't understand, and I don't know if you have something to back up what you're saying, or you just think it would be cool.

What makes you think Gryffindor's sword would deflect any blows Voldemort would first throw at Harry?

Have you realized Trelawney's average of true prophesies is one every fourteen years? I personally think her prophesy days are over, but I seem to be the only one who believes that, so I'll let it slide.

As much as I love Dumbledore, I do think he'll somehow sacrifice himself. But I have to wonder, would this give Harry the extra teensy bit of protection he needs to finish Voldy off? The only other time we know of someone sacrificing herself has left Harry with some pretty amazing protection.

I got totally confused on the "this happens a week earlier, but no one believes Harry" thing... What happens a week earlier? Why would Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts, leader of the Order of the Phoenix, be hiding in his office for unknown reasons when Voldy has come to the school? Dumbledore believes everything Harry says regarding what happens, so I don't think "no one would believe Harry"... And I don't think Dumbledore would be inaccessable in times like these...

Harry runs at voldemort and slices down. But as soon as the sword touches Voldemort they are transported to Godrics hollow where two wizards are duelling. One is Salazaar the other is Godric.What they are seeing is a vision of what happened in the past. Godric runs at Salazaar and runs him through with the sword of Gryffindor. There is more talking and then harry runs at Voldemort again and they are both blown back by the force of the ensueing gusts of wind emanating from the poin of the blow. Voldemort is killed and then all the terrible things voldemort did were reversed and Harry meets his parents.

Total fiction. There's no reason to believe they would be transported to Godric's Hollow, no reason to believe we'd see Gryffindor and Slytherin fighting, and the ending, where everyone lives happily ever after is, in my opinion, the anti-Rowling...

Harsh words Athena.

I definitely think that LV will attack Hogwarts - Hagrid said in PS that LV didn't dare attempt to take Hogwarts yet, when LV was at his height. However, the transforming to Godrics Hollow to watch Godric and Salazaar duel seems to be based on something I have seen before but can't remember what it is. I don't think this will happen.

I enjoy interesting theories but there needs to be something to back them up otherwise they are wild conjecture. I could say that Hagrid will become Voldemort's right hind man, but without anything to back it up makes it just nonsense.

[Nobby]

harsh words are always formed by opinions though! as athena said there is no reason to believe that gryffindor and slytherin will be fightining at the end, whereas the attasck on hogwarts bit is plausible

[Dumbledores Master]

okay i have just seen all the posts and I want to point out the heading
A CRACKPOT THEORY ON HOW THE BOOKS WILL END okay, its a CRACKPOT THEORY!!!. I was lookng through the theories and saw a lot involving GG`s sword and one about godrics hollow which could be the place GG left behind because another theory I read says that each of the founders could have left behind something and GG could have left behind the sword. Based on the significance of the COS we can only assume the sword is far more important than simply reassuring HP that he is a true gryffindor and killing the basilisk. Also the killing of the basilisk could symbolise things to come. Meaning that HP would destroy LV. This could be backed up by the theory that the chess game could be telling us how people will die. The battle is probably a little bit doubtful and going to Godrics hollow I admit is far-out but again it is only a theory. Thank you Athena Appleton for your constructive critisicm and well done on other theories and things.*wanders off with a red face* [/i][/u]

I'm sorry, sometimes I get distracted by things in real life and don't catch on that I've been "harsh" until after someone calls me on it. I apologize.

I do think you have it in you to do some excellent fan fiction. That's an amazingly interesting way of ending the books. I just don't think there's any clues in existing Harry Potter stories to hold it up. But I do think it's a very creative, imaginative ending, and I think it would be great if you could expand on it to do a fan fic about the ending.

I wasn't able to tell (because I'm not really that familiar with the term "crackpot") if you really believed that is what would happen, or if you were just making it up on a whim. If it's what you really believe happened, then, no, I don't think it's a possibility. If you want to do a really creative fan fic and you were just randomly trying to think up the most off-the-wall thing you could think of, I think it's cool.

I'm sorry, didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings.

Athena i agree with you. Its great fan fiction, but it makes no sense what so ever. I know its a crackpot theory by the way. I really don't think the basilisk represented anything more then another struggle Harry had to get over to either be killed by Voldemort or end Voldemort himself
