I honestly don't know where this would go but I considered since it's about a book, it should go in books. If there's a topic on this already, I'm sorry. I check the Lounge and Entertainment.
Anyway, JKRowling announced that she definitely has two character deaths in the seventh book but it wouldn't be Harry. QUOTE Rowling to kill two in final Potter book LONDON (Reuters) - Children's author J.K. Rowling has revealed that at least two characters will die in the seventh and final installment of her bestselling Harry Potter series, but was careful not to say who. Children and adults are expected to rush and buy the final Harry Potter novel in their tens of millions when it is complete, and if the publication of the sixth book is anything to go by, secrecy surrounding the plot will be tight. Rowling has already said that the final chapter of the seventh book was written long ago. "The final chapter is hidden away, although it's now changed very slightly," she said in an interview broadcast on Monday on Britain's Channel 4. "One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die." When asked to be more specific, she added: "No, I'm not going to commit myself, because I don't want the hate mail or anything else." She did explain that she understood an author's desire to kill off the main character of a successful series. "I've never been tempted to kill him (Harry) off before the end of book seven, because I always planned seven books and that's where I want to go. "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'." Rowling, 40, wrote the first Harry Potter adventure when she was an unemployed single mother, but has gone on to become one of the richest authors in history with a personal fortune estimated at more than $1 billion. The Harry Potter series has sold an estimated 300 million copies worldwide. who do you think it would be? i really don't want ron or hermione to die (even though hermione dying would put an end to harry/hermione shippers - sorry). i think rowling would probably kill of a weasley or something. i don't want ginny to die because well, i really like the idea of harry and ginny together. i really feel like such a loser for being so obsessed with harry potter. |

It's okay to be obsessed. :)
I thought the release date being 07/07/07 was only a rumor. Anywho, I think one person who may die is Lupin, seeing as others closest to him also die (Sirius and Dumbledore). BUT, I just have a feeling that Ron and Hermione won't be killed off. I'd be much happier if Harry and Hermione were together. I think the deaths of such characters make the story that much more interesting. Of course, I really wish they weren't killed off, but it's interesting to see what happens now. |

I think it might be snape and lupin. Or snape and voldemort and the book will be happy.
Or a Weasley and Voldemort and Snape is imprisoned in Azkaban. Oh wait, Azkaban was abandoned when the dementors joined allegience with Voldemort. I cant wait til the book comes out. Im hella sad that there won't be another one after it though. This book better be 3,000 pages long. |

Yay, HP fanatics : )
I really doubt that the book will be out on 07/07/07. I've heard that it's only a rumour. And I'm quite sure that I've read some HP fansites that have stated that JK Rowling has not given out the specific date in which the seventh book will be out. Also, didn't JK Rowling say in an interview that she would start writing the seventh book at the beginning of 2006, due to her busy lifestyle? Like, she's already written the last chapter, and knows exactly what's going to happen, who's going to be killed, etc., but she didn't start writing the actual seventh book until January 2006. Would the seventh book be out just after a year and a couple of months? Hm. I donno. Correct me if I'm wrong. Hm, about the 2 main characters dying : (, I think that one of the characters must be Voldemort. I've just always believed that : /. Would JK end the series with Voldy still alive and all the witches and wizards under his control? I also thought that Harry may die, although I'm not happy about that : (. Oh psh, what do I know? : ) Can't wait until book seven. |

im definitely thinking that it's Ron that's going to die. and possibly Harry. Not really though..she couldn't kill Harry off. Sirius, Dumbledore, AND Harry?
Maybe SNAPE will die. :] AND MALFOY. yesyes. |

QUOTE(Statues/Shadows @ Jun 27 2006, 1:10 AM) Being obsesessed with Harry Potter doesn't make you a loser. It makes you normal. Or, normal amoung the losers. Same difference, really. lol. At an HP RP board I'm on we've been trying to decide who they are. We're pretty sure one of them is Voldie, or most of us think so. We at first thought Harry too, but that's too obvious. Now we're starting to think that someone's going to die for someone like Lily died for Harry. |

I doubt she'd kill off Ron or Hermione..but if she does kill of Hermione..it would be pretty dramatic.

Even though I don't care much for Ron, I'd hate for her to kill him off. I don't think Mrs. Weasly would be able to deal with it. I love the Weaslys (in general) and it would break my heart too.
So two characters she didn't expect to die will die and one has been reprieved from death. |

thats a good point, actually. if she didnt EXPECT them to die, then maybe they arent that major.
and there will be more than two deatsh, presumably. a few weasley's, for sure. im thinking fred and george, but that thought leads to depression, so we'll box that up with the bad feelings. and i do thinki ginny will go. whihc is a shame, speaking as a major harry/ginny shipper. |
