Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is releasing soon.  I’ve read the books and seen the movies, and I’m a fan of the series.  I’ve got two predictions about the final book:

- The ambiguous Professor Snape will be finally and ultimately be revealed as a good character when we discover that he killed Dumbledore in the last book for an ultimately good purpose, as in Obi Wan allowing himself to be killed in Star Wars to become stronger in the Force and Gandalf being taken to the depths by the monster in order to defeat it.  So Dumbledore will return (in body or in spirit) and help to defeat Voldemort once and for all, and Snape will be killed by Voldemort while trying to protect Harry during the penultimate battle.
- After the battle, but still unable to believe that the conflict is truly finished, Harry, Ron, and Hermione gather at a table at the Leaky Cauldron and play Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” on the jukebox as a series of shady Slytherins and Malfoys enter the building while Ginny Weasley struggles to parallel park her broom.  Readers across the world panic as they think the printing press ran out of ink before getting to the true last page of the epic drama.
