The gambling company William Hill has launched a bet on who might end up being the murderer of the young magician Harry Potter.
The writer of this series of books, the British J.K. Rowling, is currently writing the seventh and last adventure that will join together the magician and his friends. In the last month of June, it had been announced that two of the main characters of the story would be killed during the last book.
William Hill opened the bets three months ago and in the first place can be found the hideous Lord Voldemord, with 4 bets against 5. In the next position, there is the evil Potions teacher Severus Snape ( 5 against 2), then there is Draco Malfoy with 6 against 1, and there even is the best friend of Harry, Ron Wesley with 6 against 1. Then, there is also Harry himself in the list, because some think that he might end up killing himself.
It appears that there are many people who think that Harry might end up being the last Horocrux of Voldermord, and therefore, in order to eliminate him, Harry would have to sacrifice himself.
In case that Harry doesn’t die, then the bets will be null and the money will be given back to the owners.
