Two More Harry Potter Deaths, as if the last one wasn't enough *cries* Options

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.

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.

i STILL say that snape isnt evil.

and i STILL say that harry is the sixth horcrux. and he will ultimately have to die in orde rto destroy voldemort.

and to be honest, i agree with rebecca... i can see ron and hermione being the happy ending to balance harry's death. which i realize isnt what rebecca said, bu ti meant that i dont think they will die

aww... thanks guys. i just felt weird being so... obsessed with it.

harry cannot be a horcrux because that doesn't make sense. why would voldemort continue to hunt him down and try to kill him if he's a horcrux?

btw, am i the only one who likes harry and ginny together?

For some reason, I'm thinking Ron and Hermoine make it alive. I think it's quite possible that Harry will die (considering that whole prophecy thing and that Voldemort won't be able to die unless Harry does... something like that). I don't consider Ginny a main character and it would be odd for Hagrid to die.

the prophecy is that either voldemort kills harry or harry kills voldemort. only one of them can exist.
