fe lessons I’ve learned from high school
ave learned
academics.
live and you learn,
looking back on the
years, I can say that
ool at Dallastown has
that: a learning expe-
I
essarily mean it in an
sense; in fact, I don't
hat way at all. Not only
knowledge flourished,
character and sense of
stown is a quirky place.
nestly isn't a more pere that I could imagine
an say we've all had our
eriences here, but we
ared quite a few. The
we’ve learned are uni-
ably one of the biggest
e learned here is how to
system. We spend our
e BS-ing whatever we
we can make time for
re important things in
our life.
After freshman year, I’d say
the only times I ever took my
bookbag inside the house after
school was when it came to doing
projects and writing papers.
Homework was to be done in
study halls and other classes or
right before the bell rang. I know
this is true for many other students like myself.
Looking back, my procrastination was the villain that kept
me from being responsible.
And when I didn’t allow
enough time to finish an assignment, I suffered. If it was an
article for the yearbook or my
column for The Beacon, the
deadline wasn’t met and others
suffered too.
As cliche as it sounds, our
method isn’t the shortcut we
thought it was.
Sometimes I feel like I
gypped myself for not putting
school into my top priorities.
2. Integrity
“HE SAID SHE SAID”
As a younger kid, you think
high school will be full of grown up kids doing all the grown-up
things they do.
In reality, high schoolers are
the childish ones.
We’re old enough to drive
cars but we think it’s brilliant to
write death threats on bathroom
mirrors and steal other people’s
money, iPods, and cell phones
from their gym lockers.
We also think it’s okay to
talk behind our friends backs
about how we really feel, or
exaggerate and gossip about
things that really aren’t any of
our business.
It’s situations like these that
have reminded me how important it is to value integrity in
yourself and the friends you
make in high school and in life.
3. Diversity
“THE MELTING POT”
Dallastown has a lot to offer.
From sports to clubs to other
extracurricular activities, we are
given so many options here.
Believe it or not, there are
other schools in the area that
have less course offerings or
sports teams; not because there
isn’t enough interest but because
there isn’t approval for it.
Even though it seems like
there are a lot of rules, we’ve
been handed diversity on a platter.
Not only is our school
diverse in the interests of its students, but also in the types of
students themselves.
As the school district fills up,
so do our halls. Dallastown has
opened its arms to hundreds of
new students over the last four
years, creating a population
mixed with different cultures
and lifestyles.
and memories I’ve had
middle school when we were
pulled out of our cozy elementary school comfort zones and
forced into a world where students had more than one teacher
and were divided into teams.
Personally, I had to experience
my first year of middle school
from a portable which was situated in the parking lot outside of
the band room.
If you were from a small elementary school like I was, you
probably panicked on the first
day of middle school when you
realized you could count the
number of people on your team
that you actually knew on one
hand. I only knew one person in
my sixth grade class, which I am
fine with now because she has
been my best friend ever since.
Some middle school memories we all share may include
being devastatingly embarrassed when banished to the
reserved table by a looming
teacher in the cafeteria or
attending school dances where
nobody danced.
Somehow, we all made it
through our middle school years
and then ended up here.
Personally, I found the transition to high school scary but liberating. We, as students, were
now free to sit where we wanted
at lunch, choose the classes we
took and join sports teams.
Homecoming was also a
huge culture shock as we realized that people actually do
dance at dances, and that they
dance in ways we had never seen
before.
Since then, many of us have
taken advantage of the opportunities to really get involved in
high school whether it is through
sport teams, clubs, committees,
student council, The Beacon,
yearbook, or other activities.

my high school life.
And now four homecomings,
hundreds of school lunches,
numerous sport seasons, countless club meetings, and massive
amounts of school work later we
find ourselves wrapping things
up and heading for the door.
The traditional senior milestones are either completed or
marked on the calendar. We
have already gotten our senior
pictures taken, chosen our class
song, flower, etc., picked out
quote for the back of the yearbook, received our caps and
gowns, filled out Beacon senior
surveys, attended the all-night
Hershey Park trip, and gone to
prom.
Now we are looking ahead to
yearbook distribution, graduation, the post-graduation party
at school, personal graduation
parties, senior week, and a summer of goodbyes.
With all of these exciting
events upon us, I encourage you
all to really live in the moment
and enjoy everything to its
fullest. However, don't forget to
take the time to look back and
remember the memories and
experiences that got you where
you are today.
Our school is it’s own little
world, but within these walls
you’ll meet every type of person
there is going to be in the real
world: the best friend, the friend
you think is your best friend
until they screw you over, the
rival that’s always out to beat
you, and the random guy that
breathes funny and seems to be
there every time you turn
around (think “Hey Arnold”).
The people you’ll meet in the
future will just look different
and have different names.
Other events throughout our
high school years helped us to
grow together, from the retirement of a beloved principal as
underclassmen to our coming
together to support a fellow
classmate in our last year here.
This is a place of friendship;
a place of learning. This is the
place that taught me everything
I need to know in life.
4. Unity
“WILDCAT PRIDE”
I’m not just saying this
because I was voted Most School
Spirit - we’ve been taught to
work together in class and on
the field.
To be a wildcat is to belong.
We’re proud of each other and
our accomplishments.

Staff Writer
Some say our senior year is
by far the most exciting and
important year of our high
school career. For the most part
this is true. However, we never
consider the cost of this excitement and the happiness it
brings.
As juniors we see all of the
senior assemblies and all of the
seniors passing out their class
photos
to
one
another.
Unfortunately, we don't consider
the cost of this happiness, which
can be quite outrageous when
the time comes to turn our tassels.
Think about all of the things
that a senior year brings. It's the
end of one chapter and a beginning of another. The time has
come to grow up and decide who
we want to be in life. More
importantly, it's a time to celebrate.
Unfortunately, the cost of
the celebration can be more than
we expect. Sophomore Anna
Hatcher says, "I can't wait until

prom, we are spending a literal
fortune. Well, our parents are.
Class photos are the first
step to becoming a senior.
Typically, a senior gets his picture in the summer before his
senior year. That in itself is very
exciting--and very expensive.
According to Shintz Studios,
where Dallastown students generally get their senior pictures
taken, the average senior spends
anywhere from $150 to $400 on
picture packages. Compare that
to the typical $40 or $50 parents
shell out now.
Mr. Shintz says, "We offer
many backgrounds and we try to
make it a memorable event to
kick start the senior experience."
After the pictures are taken,
it's time for homecoming and the
expense that carries with it.
Senior Amanda Kauffman says,
"I always go all out for events
like homecoming or prom, but
this year it had to be perfect."
The idea of a "perfect" and
"unforgettable" senior year is
what drives many Dallastown
students to go above and beyond,
no matter what the cost.
After homecoming we get a
visit from Jostens, not advertising class rings but instead that
infamous senior garb. Some of
this includes our caps & gowns,
tassels, sweatshirts, invitations,
and assorted items like mugs
and hats.
Depending on the purchases,
it can get pricey. Now some
seniors don't really care how
much it costs because their parents just buy it for them.
The fact is that there are
just as many seniors at
Dallastown who have to buy
their own pictures and pay for
their own prom tickets.
It is true that being a senior
is very expensive. It is also true
that it can become one of the
best times of your life.
However, try not to get too
wrapped up in the hype of being
at the top of the food chain. It
just means that soon you will
have to pay for everything that
your parents are paying for now.
Enjoy it while it lasts,
because it will be over before you
know it.

The One Who’s
Taking On the World
profiles of people you
should know
BRITTON BIXBY
Staff Writer
Olivia Johns is not a typical
high school senior. While this is
not apparent at first glance, a
look at where Olivia has been
and where she is going sets her
apart from other high school
seniors.
Olivia's culminating project
is quite possibly the strangest
ever presented. While other students wrote lesson plans and
taught classes, Olivia hopped on
a Greyhound and traveled to the
Green
Mountain
Dharma
Center-Home,
a
Buddhist
monastery.
Olivia endured about 5
hours of completely silent meditation per day, beginning with a
morning session at 4:30 AM.
Meals of rice and lettuce were
eaten in total silence.
Olivia witnessed firsthand
how devout the Buddhist nuns
were when she was harshly
scolded for "violently brushing" a
bug out of her hair.
Since the purpose of her trip
was her culminating project, she
obviously wanted lots of pictures. This became a problem,
as the monks did not allow cameras.
Olivia had been exposed to
Buddhism long before her stint
at the monastery.
"I thought I would enjoy
myself because I grew up with a
Buddhist father, I'm a vegetarian and I meditate, too. But I
was wrong,” she says.
Before long, her culminating
project took a back seat to her
suffering mental state. "I felt
like I was trapped in an insane
asylum,” she recalls.
One morning, before a
chanting session, Olivia decided
she had had enough. She called
a taxi that transported her to the
bus station, took a bus to
Manchester, New Hampshire,
and got the next flight back
home.
Despite the lack of success of
her culminating project, Olivia
does not shy away from an
opportunity to try something
new. She will even be furthering
her education overseas in
Switzerland at Franklin College.
Only 355 students attend the
school, so it will surely be different from the crowded halls of
Dallastown.
But that's the way Olivia
wants it: different.

When a two inch, cancerous
growth was found on his spine in
November of 2006, doctors told
Wes Anderson that he had a

While most seniors have
busy schedules and many juggle
school, work, and activities, few
are dealing with the amount of
responsibility that Justine Harr
is.
In addition to school, playing

attending a benefit event at
Aldersgate Church on May 12th.
Luckily, Wes and his family
haven't had to endure the rough
road to recovery alone.
"It's been tough," says Wes'
father, Mark Anderson, "But the
community has been outstanding. Whenever a big bill or issue
comes up, the community is
there. It's really great to see
that everyone cares."
Even with the multiple
chemo sessions taking up much
of his time, Wes has still found
room to keep up with school.
"Right now, I'm taking
Psychology
and
Advanced
Composition through communication with teachers," says Wes.
"Every now and then I'll show up
at school to take a test; that's a
lot of fun," he says with a laugh.
With six months of therapy
under his belt, Wes comments on
what the future holds in store for
him:
"In a little while I'll be going
to Houston, Texas to speak with
a doctor about the next stage of
treatment, so I'm not done yet,
but I will be at graduation."
Wes will be attending York
College in the fall and majoring
in Pre-Med.
According to Justine, her
typical days are a bit long.
"I go to school, get out at
1:15, take a nap until 3:00, play
with Hadlye for a few hours, go
work from 7:00 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
and then wake up and do it all
again."
Although it is a difficult
path, she isn't about to complain.
"It has been very hard to balance my school work and time
with Hadlye. It's a lot of work
and stress, but that's a decision
that I made, and I am determined to still continue my plans
and be the best possible role
model and parent I can be!"
Justine plans to attend Penn
State York and major in
Business.

The One Who’s
Turning it Around
TONI LOZZI
Staff Writer
A year ago Ben Hullman was
struggling through his junior
year constantly finding himself
in trouble's path.
With falling grades, countless absences, and a disregard
for the rules, Hullman was worried he wouldn't even make it to
graduation.
Now a senior, Hullman was
even more surprised when he
was recognized for his turnaround efforts and given money
towards a college education.
Ben is the recipient of the
2007 Turn-Around Award, given
to a student who was changed
his life for the better.
"It meant a lot to receive this
award because I knew personally that I had changed a lot, but it
gave the community a fresh perspective of the new me," said
Hullman.
Ben was recognized at a
county-wide banquet for family
and friends of all winners. Each
student was given the opportunity to apply for a scholarship
and Ben was one of the recipients of a $600 scholarship and
an engraved plaque.
The Turn-Around Award
was established 12 years ago by
the Bowling Proprietor's of York
County for students who had
transformed their once negative
life-style for a positive one.
Social Studies teacher Mr.
Geesey serves as Dallastown's
coordinator.
"This award gives people
something to work for that have
maybe had problems in their
past," said Mr. Geesey, "Before
students were seen as scarred if
they did something wrong, but
now they can still receive recognition for their hard work to
bounce back."
Hullman realized during his
junior year he had to make a
change. The unfortunate loss of
relationships gave Ben the motivation to set goals and strive for
a better life.
"No matter what happens
you can always make a differ-
jon dubbs, zac sweitzer,
adam ream, andy bracken
ence," said Hullman, "keep
focused on only bettering your
life."
Ben finished out his senior
wrestling season this past january and is now maintaining his
attendance in school, working
two jobs, staying out of criminal
trouble and is sure to continue
his positive outlook in a career in
criminal justice.
"Some say you shouldn't
regret but I honestly would like
to take back every day of high
school up until this year. I can't,
so I used my tarnished past to
push towards a prosperous
future," said Hullman.
The Ones Who Are Volunteering Their Time
Jon Dubbs, Zac Sweitzer, and Adam Ream (left to
right) work alongside each other as Jr. firefighters at
the Loganville Fire Company, and they have enjoyed
every bit of it. "I just enjoy the rush and getting on the
truck," said Ream.
Dubbs also lacks no excitement, "I plan to volunteer
for the rest of my life. There will never be a day that
people are not doing something stupid. There will
always be volunteers that are needed." The trio attend
training every Wednesday, and according to Sweitzer,
depending on the week, he puts in up to 10 hours.”
In the end, he noted, “It’s all worth it.”

Bracken plans on taking a break from volunteering as he attends Penn State York next

"I just want to concentrate on school for

looking forward to getting back to volunteering for the company," said Bracken.

and smile. No wait, a little to

Lift your chin. Wait there's a
hair out of place. Smile!
These phrases were all
familiar to the seniors of
Dallastown High School as they
prepared for their departure
with a final presentation of
themselves. They all put their
best faces forward in a standard
procedure called senior pictures.
As the senior class of 2007
began their year, they all knew
that this year was their final
chance to show the school who
they are. A picture can say a
thousand words.
These pictures give each
individual a chance to share a
little bit of themselves with the
entire student body.
Some seniors took it upon
themselves to be a bit more outrageous than others when it
came to senior pictures. To
name a few, students such as
Bridget Hinckley, Justin Scott,
Mason Sacks, and Dylan
Hoffman decided to take a more
creative approach to their pictures.
Though each senior's pictures are special, these four
seniors put a personal, whacky
twist on theirs.
cial request, she wasn't sure
what kind of responses she
would receive. The idea came to
Hinckley not necessarily as a
serious matter.
"My friend was helping me
to choose a pose and we thought
it would be fun to have a picture
taken in a coffin," noted Hinkley.
"I'm really into vampires, and I
like to do crazy things."
People may see this as freakish and unbelievable, but this
picture helps to show people a
side of Bridget Hinckley that
most may not know.
Justin Scott took a different
approach.
He has become
known for his picture with his
shirt off, proudly boasting his
tattoo.
Though he picked this tattoo
at random the third day of his
freshman year, he has never
failed to let people know that he
is proud of it.
"I am a very flirtatious person, and I like to have my shirt
off," said Scott.
Scott didn't think too hard
about what pose to use. He simply thought about how he wanted other people to see him and
took his shirt off. Claiming that
all of the girls ask for this specific picture, Scott is ready and
willing to pass it out.
Another example of uniqueness rests in the senior picture of
Mason Sacks with his "thumbs
up" pose, which he hoped to get

grill to his handsome smile during his senior picture photo session at A Moment in Time
Photography.

in the yearbook.
"The only way I was willing
to smile for the picture was if I
could do something ridiculous.
My smile normally looks bad,"
said Sacks.
Always in a good mood,
Mason likes to be unique and
stand out. In fact, Sacks says
the idea was inspired by his good
mood and the first thing that
came to his mind.
"People don't typically question 'why,' they simply thank
me."
No one stopped Sacks from
this extreme idea, and he doesn't
mind being famous for the pose.
Let us see your grillz Dylan
Hoffman. In his bizarre ways,
Dylan Hoffman decided to show
off his $60 grill in his senior pictures.
The day of pictures the photographer joked with Hoffman
that she could use his picture to
advertise for York High.
"I'm a crazy individual who
likes to see people laugh," said
Hoffman.
Laughter usually strikes
people upon seeing this picture.
Not only do viewers laugh, but

authenticity of the grill.
"It better be real. I paid $60
for it."
This
picture,
Hoffman
claims, rarely is handed out. His
personality truly shone through
in his senior pictures.
Every senior has his own
way of expressing himself, his
own personality, and his own
sense of humor. These students
have become popular for their
unusual final photo. The poses
of these photos help to show a
little bit about each individual.

Graduation is supposed to be the start of a new beginning,
not the end, but Bridget Hinckley posed in a coffin for her
senior pictures anyway. Hinckley took a joke and turned it
into a reality with her peculiar pictures. She also has poses
with various animals.
As he shows off his tatoo, Justin Scott also shows the more flirtatious side of himself by posing with his shirt off. Scott claims
these photos are available for any girl who would like one.

Mason Sacks defies the conformity of the generic senior picture. This hilarious pose almost
appeared in the yearbook and
will continue to show his wild
personality for years to come.

A DETENTION
DYNASTY
Unlike middle school,
students who misbehave in
the high school can look forward to seeing the same
teacher every day they have
detention.
Mr. Miller has been the
proctor of detention for
about 30 years. A job that
would seem undesirable to
most was right up Miller's
alley.
“It was a time I could
prepare for the next day and
avoid taking a lot of work
home," says Miller.
Interesting moments did
occur during past detention
sessions. Occasionally people would sleep, but "students knew that if they misbehaved they would have
worse punishments such as
suspension. So for the most
part, they were wellbehaved."
What Miller will miss
most about supervising
detention: "I will very definitely miss the students; I
will miss telling them that
the big picture of life is not
getting expensive cars and
such, but that having a genuine interest in others and
important interaction is
what really matters. I hope
to relate this through my
past experiences."

Jennifer Schifano
Features Editor
When
senior
Steven
Kerschner purchased his $40
ticket for the all-night Hershey
Park trip he had no idea that he
would win his money back--and
then some.
Five busloads of Dallastown
seniors excitedly arrived at
Herhsey Park on May 18 at
10:00 p.m. with high expectations for a fun-filled night and
lots of excitement.
Upon arriving at Hershey
Park the teachers informed each
individual bus of the rules and
happenings of the night. Most
students didn’t think twice when
the teachers mentioned that
there was a possibility of winning a car.
In order to win the car, participants had to send a text message to enter themselves into the
drawing. The car up for grabs
was a
black 2005 Chevy
Cavalier.
About halfway through the
night, the news started to spread
around Dallastown students
that Kerschner had won the car.
Even though it was the middle of the night, Kerschner
decided to call home to his parents and tell them the good
news.
attributed to more than just
good luck.
Kerschner broke his back
prior to the trip to Hershey
Park. Due to his injury, he
decided to sit out while his
friends rode the Wildcat due to
the roughness of the ride.
While sitting alone on the
bench outside of the ride,
Kerschner took out his cell
phone and decided to send the
“If I wouldn’t
have broken my
back, I would
have never won
the car”
car contest text message to keep
from getting bored.
“If I wouldn’t have broken
my back, I would have never
won the car,” said Kerschner
optomistically.
Kerschner plans on selling
the car and using the money to
buy new audio equipment for his
current car and a laptop.
“The rest will go to college
and maybe a few smaller items,”
he said gratefully.
Although Kerschner was the
only senior who won a car, he
was not the only one who had a
great time.
From rides like Stormrunner
and The Great Bear to activities
like the hypnotist and dance
party the all-night trip had
something for everyone.
“I fell asleep during the hypnotist. It was the middle of the
night and the chair was comfy - I
couldn’t resist,” commented
Andrew Lyter.
Lyter wasn’t the only student who needed a break during
the night.
“It was freezing! My teeth
were chattering by the time I got
in the Kissing Tower. We were
pretty much about to fall asleep
and we needed somewhere to
rest,” said Amanda Jones.
While some students took a
nap, others did their best to stay
awake all night long to get the
most out of their experience.
“The rides were quite amazing, especially late at night. It
was cool seeing the lights from
the other rides and hearing the
screams from other rides,”
shared Erika Conaway.
The $40 ticket also entitled
students to an all-you-can-eat
breakfast buffet complete with
french toast, sausage, bagels,
eggs, pastries, and more.
Most seniors agree that the
Hershey Park trip was a great
way
to
spend time
with friends
before graduation- even
if
they
weren’t all
l u c k y
enough to
win a car.

Staff Writers
Summer of senior year
means a lot of things: graduation
parties, senior week, and hanging out with friends. Most of us
will spend the summer looking
back on school memories including homecoming dances, sporting events, field trips, and parties.
But
far
away
from
Dallastown, Harry Potter will
reflect on his time at Hogwarts,
remembering quidditch games,
trips to Hogsmeade village,
adventures with his two best
friends, and, not to mention, several encounters with the most
dangerous dark wizard ever.
While we worry about the
new challenges we will face as
we go off on our own, Harry
must face an even bigger challenge: defeating Lord Voldemort!
This summer marks a monumental date in Harry Potter history. Potter fans all around the
world have marked July 21st on
their calendars as the date they
will learn how the seven part
series finally ends. If you are a
big fan, you have probably
already reserved a copy of Harry
Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
With the release date quickly approaching, there are many
ideas and theories circulating
around the internet regarding
the fate of Harry Potter and the
wizarding world at large.
We've compiled a list of some
of the main questions that will
be answered in the 7th book.
Although J.K Rowling is the only
person who knows for sure what
will happen, we have read some
theories and established our own
opinions of how we think it will
mystery of the series. Snape has
done a lot of nasty things to
Harry since his first appearance,
but most fans took Dumbledore's
word that Snape was no longer
loyal to his dark master, Lord
Voldemort. However, the sixth
book shed a new light on Snape
as he is pictured conversing with
death eaters, and finally when
he murders Dumbledore.
But despite all that he has
done, we believe that Snape is on
the good side.
How could
Dumbledore put so much trust
in someone that was evil?
Although Dumbledore admits
that he has some flaws, we do
not think it possible that he
could have made such a devastating mistake.
Perhaps
Snape
killed
Dumbledore
only
on
Dumbledore's orders, or perhaps
there is some other plot that is
yet
to
be
uncovered.
Nonetheless, we stick by
Dumbledore's judgment. We
trust Dumbledore completely.
Relationships
Wedding bells are ringing!
Due to Lord Voldemort's
renewed reign, many members
of the wizarding community are
rushing together for fear that
their time might be limited.
While Bill Weasley and Fleur
Delacour are scheduled to be
married in the summer, other
relationships are brewing.
We feel strongly that it won't
be long until Ron and Hermione
start their much anticipated
relationship (It's about time!).
In addition, we think the shortlived romance that occurred
between Harry and Ginny at the
end of the sixth book will continue before the series ends. Harry
broke up with Ginny to protect
her, but fate will eventually
Harry still must solve a lot of the
mystery on his own.
There are many theories
about the identities of the horcruxes. One theory that we
think might be possible is that
Harry (or his scar) is, in fact, a
horcrux.
Dumbledore believed that
when Voldemort went to kill
Harry, he was planning to use
Harry's death to create his last
horcrux. Seeing as Voldemort's
killing curse backfired, it seems
possible that he was unable to
make the horcrux properly.
Perhaps Harry somehow became
the horcrux.
If Harry is a horcrux, he will
have to sacrifice himself in order
to rid the world of Voldemort.
This ending seems just tragic
enough to happen.
We can make all the predic-
bring them back together.
Who will die?
J.K. Rowling has made it
clear that there will be plenty
more deaths in the final book.
Although it's a tough thing to
predict, there are a few characters we think will definitely get
the axe.
Obviously, Lord Voldemort
will die in the seventh book.
There is no way the series could
end with him still alive.
Another character whose
days are numbered is Draco
Malfoy. At the end of the sixth
book, Malfoy defied the Dark
Lord's orders when he was
unable to bring himself to kill
Dumbledore. As we've seen in
the past, anyone who fails to
carry out Voldemort's orders
doesn't last very long.
Unfortunately, we do not
believe that the entire Weasley
family will survive the book.
They are all directly involved in
the fight against Voldemort, and
have narrowly avoided death
several times throughout the
books. We think that the most
likely to go will be Fred and
George. As Mrs. Weasley stated,
"They're too clever for their own
good."
It is largely debated whether
or not Harry, Ron, and
Hermione will all live. We certainly hope they do survive, but
it is hard to make a prediction
either way. We're keeping our
fingers crossed!
tions we want, but no one will
know for sure what happens
until the book comes out.
So if you are a Harry Potter
fan, start making plans to celebrate the big day. Feel free to
attend the release party at
Border's book store, or host your
own Potter bash.
Rereading the entire series
is another good idea if you want
to be thoroughly prepared for
the final installment.
Although some people may
find this whole Harry Potter
craze stupid and juvenile, that
shouldn't stop you from enjoying
the magic of the series.
Look at it this way, we just
spent six of our study halls writing this article--so if you want to
celebrate the release of the final
book, you shouldn't feel like a
dork.
How will it all end?
By the end of the book it is
almost certain that Voldemort
will be dead and the wizarding
world will rejoice once again.
The question is, how will this
play out?
We know that Harry has a
long road ahead of him. He must
find the remaining horcruxes
before destroying the last one,
which lies in Voldemort's body.
Before Dumbledore died, he
confided in Harry his best guesses as to the identity of the horcruxes.
Although most of
Dumbledore's predictions will
most likely prove to be correct,
