My Page 743 Conspiracy Theory



It is my belief that the final battle between Harry and Voldemort is on page 743 of the last book, book seven, on purpose. I decided to call my realization the "Page 743 Conspiracy Theory." I believe it was on purpose because the number 7 is a reoccurring theme throughout the series and it is a rather significant number for multiple reasons as seen below.
  • 7 is significant in the series
  • 4+3=7, so page 743 is pretty much 77
  • 7 years of school in Hogwarts
  • 17 years old to be adult
  • 7 Weasly kids
  • 7 Quidditch players
  • 7 Horcruxes
  • On page 7 of the first book, Vernon Dursley's first mention of magic/Lilly Potter
  • On page 73 in book one it is said the something (the philosopher's/Sorcerer's stone) is in vault 713
  • Page 7 in book six the Prime Minister is learning about Voldemort's return
  • Seventh book dedication is "split seven ways"
  • Page 7, book 7 Voldemort says he must be the one to kill Harry and he borrows the wand from Lucius
  • page 437 in book 7 Potterwatch is first mentioned
  • Series ends on page 759-----> 7+5+9= 21---> 21 is a factor of 7 (3*7)
  • Page 77 book one first encounter with Draco Malfoy
  • There are 17 sickles in one gallon
  • It is stated that seven is the strongest number in the wizarding world   
 ...The list goes on... (feel free to add to it in a comment)
What do you think about the conspiracy theory? Do you think it was a coincidence or that it was planned as a minor detail, or maybe that it was a big deal to J.K. Rowling to have the final showdown on page 743?

    @Random :)...R.A.B.
    I added it for you :)

    SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT READ FOLLOWING IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE SEVENTH BOOK AND WANT A SURPRISE

    i didn't originally add that because technically there are 8 horcruxes if you count the part of voldemort's sole that was inside of Harry...

    But the intention for 7 Horcruxes totally counts! thanks :)
