A Harry Potter thread to pass the time

[lashbear]

Here's that I got to read:

http://www.smh.com.au/news/books/two...174172150.html

The parts that interest me are:

...J.K. Rowling has revealed that at least two characters will die in the seventh and final instalment.....

..."The final chapter is hidden away, although it's now changed very slightly,"..... ..."One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die."

..."I've never been tempted to kill him (Harry) off before the end of book seven,....

"I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks 'Well, I'm going to kill them off because that means there can be no non-author-written sequels ... so it will end with me, and after I'm dead and gone they won't be able to bring back the character'."

That leads me to think that:

• Voldemort will definately die (evil is NOT allowed to triumph in childrens literature... for the most part)
• Harry may very well die to protect the name, as she mentions. (I can just imagine "Harry Potter and the Ingrown Toenail" or such)
• one or both of the rest of the terrible trio (ie Won won and hermeineonie) will also perish (maybe)
• Oh, and Umbridge really DOES need to die. Snape too, if he IS really evil.
