i agree. i think he's gonna have to sacrifice himself in order for voldie to be killed finally.
someone suggested to me that harry might be one of voldie's horcruxes and that in order for the big V to finally kick it, all of the horcruxes have to be destroyed......
I don't think reincarnation is exactly canon, she says in her best nerdy voice.
And I doubt the ghost bit, because it's been established in the books that ghosts are people who are afraid of death, or what comes after it, and Harry isn't.
Vales of HAR! (That one's gonna stick with us for a while isn't it?)
Got it straight from the horse's mouth. Or the horse's secret room on her website, as the case may be. I thought of Godric's Hollow too, but I think that's wrong. For the why read my longwinded and over researched response to Ashley-poo below.
Yep, it was behind the locked door, so very official. My knee jerk reaction was 'oh, right Godric's Hollow!' But no, it's 'hallow' with an a which means holy or sacred, i.e. a churchyard is hallowed ground, "Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.." etc..
It can also be a noun, like how Hallow'een is a shortened form of All Hallow's Eve, the night before the Feast of All Hallows, 'hallow' in that case being Old English for 'saint'. So there is precedent for the 'hallowed' person or thing being refered to as a 'hallow' the noun.
I thought maybe that hallow was an Anglicization of hollow, at least as far as geographic features are considered, because that would make sense especialy in relation to Godric's Hollow, but I've doen alittle checking and they seem to come from different root words.

He might continue his mission as a ghost, succeed, and get reincarnated or something, though.

1 to 1 odds on his death, I'd say.

That's death and a hollow. Hallow. Vales of Har. Whatever. Where'd you read it?
