My Final Prediction

With less than 5 1/2 hours to go until Book 7 is released, I am ready to make a final prediction on Harry's fate. What if Harry lives? It seems impossible given J.K. Rowling has basically said that this book marks the end of all things Harry Potter. But, what if it's just Harry's magical life that ends? I'm thinking that maybe in Harry's final duel with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, Harry uses every ounce of power he has to fulfill the prophecy. Basically, killing Voldemort would release Harry from his magic and he would live out the rest of his life as a Muggle. He would make the "choice" (see quote - top right) to give it all up & sacrifice himself to save the others. All he would have left to remind him of his heroic past would be his "scar" - the last word of the book.

Kreacher's Movie Debut

So it looks like Kreacher will have a role in the movie version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix after all. Apparently the directors of the movie didn't really see a point in including Kreacher's character. JK Rowling intervened and said that if they didn't include Kreacher, that might make things more complicated in future movies. Interesting.

Perhaps Rowling is saying what many Potter fans have believed all along: that Kreacher has hidden the locket that RAB (Regulus A. Black?) stole from Voldemort's cave - the same locket that once belonged to Salazar Slytheryn himself - and contains one of the seven Horcruxes.

How did the locket happen to end up in the Black house? Perhaps Kreacher was with Regulus in the cave. Regulus wouldn't have been able to retrieve the locket alone - and bringing another wizard wouldn't have worked. Seems like there's more to Kreacher than meets the eye.
