So.....
 
I'm up to Chapter 9, and already:
- The Muggle studies teacher (?who?!?!?!) has died (first we've heard of her)
 
- Hedwig's died
 
- We think... that Mad-eye's died (I'm not sure yet)
 
- we think... that Mundungus may be the leak to the Death Eaters
 
- George lost an ear - perhaps an extendible ear can be affixed magically ?
 
- Bill & Phlegm get married.
 
- Scrimgeour dies
 
Lots of dead 'uns in 
this book !!
