I think Harry def has to be the one to kill him..

harry has to be the one to kill him, and i think he will, and then i think one of the DE's will kill him

harry has to kill him it says so in the prophecy and those prophecy's come true

I don't think it will be Neville that kills him...You forget the part about being marked as an equal by Voldemort. I think that Neville will play an important part, just like he did in OOTP, but why would JKR write 7 books about Harry if it was Neville who was set apart to save the wizarding world?!?
As for Moaning Myrtle, I don't know what part she will continue to play, but I think she's kinda creepy.

I agree with Moxie - Dumbledore may fear that the connection between Harry and Moldy could backfire if someone other then Harry kills him.

i think that harry has to kill him it is his destiny

harry will definetly have to hill him-what bothers me is what will happen to harry(will he die,etc)

This is clear that Harry is the only one who can actually kill YOU-KNOW-WHO as was stated in book5 in the prophecy. This should not be confused with the FACT that Dumbeldore is the onlt known person who YOU-KNOW-WHO is afraid of and the FACT that Harry is the one to deliver the final blow.

Lot's of well thought-out conclusions, and I won't be the least surprised if it happens the way you say. But JKR has fooled us before, and Neville being born on the same day for a reason. I think Harry and Voldy have to die together, but I fully expect a twist involving Neville. And you're right--Myrtle IS kinda a creepy. Cute, but creepy.

Also, Harry has to die, given the way the story follows the pattern of the great myths and tragedies of Ancient Greece and Rome. This being a series of books aimed at young people, he will almost certainly die a virgin. I think JKR will do something to make all that go down easier, which is why I think he'll come back as a ghost. And Myrtle is the only ghost we've met in his age range. Who knows, maybe one of the girls will die and hook up with him! Who do think? Pansy?

Exactly. As powerfull as Dumbledore is - the prophecy has to be fufilled.

I don't think harry will die, that bit has been played out, the ultimate sacrafice. I don't think JK would go out like that, it just isn't original, we have seen it before *coughs* NEO *Coughs* MATRIX!

Harry has to kill Voldemort or vice versa for the prophecy to be fullfilled

Nothing in HP is at it seems. Jo wouldn't have asked us to question it if there wasn't more to it that meets the eye. Out of her million and millions of readers, there all kinds of people that think differently. Obviously, if the prophecy was the answer all along, surely many would have picked up on it, and therefore this questioned would not be asked.

My believe is that Dumbledore put his faith in the prophecy, and did exactly as it did. He didn't kill Voldemort because he believed that Harry had to vanquish him, even if Dumbledore could have ended it once and for all. Now think about this... either Harry or Voldemort could die, easily by some crazy mad raving lunatic. Let's say one day Seamus and Dean kidnap Harry, puts a gun to his head and blows his brains out. Or Peter severs Voldemorts head off while he is sleeping. [Sorry about the graphical img]

They most certainly can't be immortal from every other means of death...

So to answer the question of this thread, in my opinion, : Dumbledore believed and put his faith into the prophecy [as all good guys do] and instead had a chat with Volders that sounded like an afternoon tea discussion.

i dont know ive been tryin 2 find out but i just cant seem 2 figure it out AND ITS DRIVING ME BANNANAS

i think Harry has to kill him. If DD thought he coudl kill V he woudl have.

I wish it weren't so obvious... but it is. Harry has to kill him!

I voted that Harry would have to kill him and don't worry Harry will kill Voldemort.
"Oh come on Ron" LOL (If you didn't get that Ron cringes everytime he heres Voldemort)

i agree

I think that because of his link to Voldemort Harry in the only one who CAN kill him. Dumbledore probably knows this and that's why he didn't try to kill Voldemort because he knew he couldn't. Besides as Dumbledore said there are worse things than death. He probably wants Voldemort to understand that.

How do we not know if Voldermort did not mark Neville as his equal when he curesed Nevell's parents like he did his. They never say in the book what the mark of the equal is they only that he marks his equal. That may be all it takes for Neville

i voted for that one. you never know! Hp are so surprising...that's one of the many reason's I like the Hp books
