I am going with the obvious and that the prophecy has to be true in Harry killing Voldemort.

Not to be a spoiler or anything, but it will take several events before Lord V. can be defeated, right? Or are we talking about Professor S.?

I think this is what Harry is ought to do.

If you are too sensitive DONT READ THE NEXT MESSAGE!!!

I personally think that the prophecy was misunderstood. Harru isn't must to kill Voldemort. The prophecy said that neither can live while the other survives.

I think that Dumbledore didn't kill Voldemort because he wants Voldemort to become good again (or "convert")

I think the right answer isn't even on the poll. I think Dumbledore didn't kill Voldemort in OOTP because he already suspected that Voldemort had created more than one Horcrux. He wasn't 100% positive but he suspected it. If he was right, then he wouldn't be able to kill him.

Interesting theory too.
Don't you all, who say that Harry is supposed to kill Voldemort, think it's too obvious for someone like JKR to write?

Obviously Dumbledore knew that it would be futile to try and kill Voldemort because in the end Harry is the only one that can.

I chose the prophecy, too, but after reading the last book, I am wondering something. The prophecy doesn't actually name Harry, and Neville could fall under the same guidelines, so to speak, as Harry. Isn't there some mention of that in the book??

i hope harry can avenge dumbeldore. i never would have believed it of snape
anyways i think dumbledoer truely believed harry had to kill voldi so he didnt

i think it was bcuz dumblydoor knew that harry had to kill him
but not only that but u still have to destroy the horcruxes

SPOILER! if you have not read book six do NOT read on!!!

as all know now who have read book six it can not be Dumbledore for he has been killed, and I believ is some way he had to have known that he would be dead before the death of Voldermort

You know I'm not going to tell anyone my answer. It would spoil everything.
People who have never read the fifth book would just look at the answers
from other postings. This would totally ruin the whole point of the story. If you told everyone what was going to happen, what would be the point of ever reading the books? There would be no point if you told everyone and you guys need new hobbies. Find a new subject. There are other books out there, people! Other movies. In other words, stop spoiling the endings of good books by posting spoilers on the website please and thank you. I am kenken's older brother, and I think you guys are very strange. I am done talking to you people. Good bye.

it is obvious harry will die

GO HARRY!!!!!! yay for harry!!!!!!
Harry Harry He's our MAN.
If he can't do it............
I'll resurect Dumby then he can!!! !!! YAY!!!!

Harry has to kill him cause thats what the prophecy said!!!!!!!! :sorcerer:

good point maybe It's the love b/w Ron and hermy that will finally kill ol' voldy...........or H/G watevs

Harry has to do it i guess it doesn't exactly make sense, i mean Dumbledore couldda done it but he didn't so i guess that's the point of books: the plot, always sticking to the plot or main plan of "it has to be Harry" when it could be anyone! arg it makes me mad tho... arg

i think harry has to because of the prophesy

No no the prophesy doesn't mean anything. All that matters to Harry is that he must kill Voldemort cuz Voldemort killed Harrys parents.

i think Jo needs to get a new poll up

I voted that it was because the prophecy said Harry had to be the one to kill him.

well duhhhhh....harry gotta kill him.....

Like the majority, I thought it was because Harry had to be the one to kill him. Of course now we know why...the horcruxes obviously.

I think the prophecy is very clear as to what must happen. Which is why Dumbeldore did not kill Voldemort.

Nev. doesnt fall under the same thing as Harry because Vold. didnt mark Nev. as his equal.
