I’m too tired to go stand in line at midnight tonight, but I’ll hit the 10:00 a.m. Potter par-tay at Accent on Books tomorrow, with the fam in tow.

Here are my predictions. These are not spoilers. I don’t yet have the novel, and although I can’t wait to start reading it, the truth is that I won’t have time to read the entire 742 pages in the space of a couple of days, and thus, the ending will prolly be spoiled for me.

But for the record, here are my predictions of the outcome of the novel.

1. Harry won’t die. Killing him off doesn’t end the possibility of future resurrection, as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle discovered when he tried to do away with Sherlock and Watson.

2. Voldemort will be vanquished, finally, by Harry, with help from Snape, double agent extraordinaire, and by far the most interesting character in the series. Snape, however, will be killed in the final battle with Voldy.

What are your predictions?
