| | |  MacLean's magazine declares "But she can't kill Harry!"
In a new, massive article with MacLean's magazine, several opinions have been given - most importantly, those on how the final novel will end. We now have a few quotes from the July 9th, 2007 issue, and the front cover of it, which can be seen above.
The main page declares the bold title: "But she can't kill Harry! Or can she? As the blockbuster franchise winds down, it's the question on every fan's lips. Our panel of experts weigh in on how it all ends."
James Krasner, an English Professor at the University of New Hampshire and one of the "experts", added a lot of his own input into the article:
Quote: |
"You know all prophecy stories follow the same path," Krasner adds, referring to a prophecy that indicated either Neville of Harry would be Voldemort's mortal foe. "Every effort to divert them from their ordained course always goes into bringing them to pass. So I think Voldemort's choice as Harry as his predicted moral enemy, far from making him the Chosen One, will only reconfigure everything: Neville will be the one who ends up dying for the cause and therby fulfilling the prophecy."
| He also said:
Quote: |
"If you're going to have a good character die redemptively, a character who is close to the hero, but not so Ron/Hermione close that his death would devastate readers, who better than Neville, the tortured innocent?"
| Finally, the article author, Brian Bethune, concluded:
Quote: |
"Seven years ago, she (JKR) told a Canadian journalist, "Every time I've been asked if I believe in God, I've said yes, because I do, nut no one ever really has gone any more deeply into it than that, and I have ti say that does suit me, because if I talk too freely about that, I think the intelligent reader, whether 10 or 60, will be able to guess what's coming in the books." Any conceivable guess derived from those words will point down a tragic path. Rowling's key theme is that self-sacrificing love is the ultimate power in the universe. In Christian terms--and the theme could hardly be more Christian--the willing victim, both powerful and good, is Christ himself. In Harry's world, Snape is powerful and Neville is good, but just one teenage boy is both. If atonement, willing atonement that pays for all, is required in Deathly Hallows, Only Harry can pay the price."
| Also, full scans will be avaliable in due time.
Thanks to the amazing SS Admin evlpez for sending the information in!

Interesting, interesting ... I always knew it would be either Neville or Harry to die. I dont really support the theory anymore that Harry will die.
I wish I could buy that magazine but I dont think it sells here.

| I don't know about anyone else, but that tells me she may possibly not be Christian. There are many different sorts of gods out there in many different religions. If going in-depth into religion would reveal an aspect into the ending of the books, where otherwise everyone would expect a Christian state of mind, then doesn't that mean she'd be counting on people believing she's Christian?
Of course, I think too hard. But that's my interpretation. | |

But I don't see how that would help anyone to see what is coming in the books.
What do you mean exactly? | |

Of course, I think too hard. But that's my interpretation. | Since the magazine is JUST out on newsstands, we can't quote the whole thing, but, the article did say right before that excerpt: Quote: |
But Rowling, frequently denounced as a satanic proponent of the occult by fundamentalist critics, is a Christian herself, a member of the Church of Scotland, to be precise.
