Another Harry Potter character to "snuff it"

[Brown]

From the Star Tribune and AP (http://www.startribune.com/stories/389/5022551.html):"Harry Potter'' author J.K. Rowling said today that one of her characters will not survive the next book in her series about the young wizard.

Asked on her official Web site whether she planned to kill off any more characters, Rowling replied, "Yes, sorry.'' But she refused to identify that character.

i'm hoping harry dies.

[Ian Osborne]

Hagrid, perhaps? Or Dumbledore?

It'll be Neville. I have it on authority.


i.e. I just made it up

My money's on Ron, suicide by autoerotic asphyxiation. Harry and Hermione will destroy the suicide note in order to make it look like a lover's quarrel with Draco Malfoy to get him expelled. Neville will suspect the truth, stutter out an accusation, and disappear as Harry proceeds on a panic-driven killing spree. Ultimately Hermione, overcome with guilt, takes her own life, leaving a full confession. Harry flees justice and joins Voldemort's cause to seek revenge on the world.

At least, that's how I'd write it, but then I have little patience for good.

It'll probably be someone close to harry like before with Sirus... then again maybe not, maybe JK rowling is following a pattern of not close, close, not close, close (referring to Cedric being killed in the book prior to Sirius being killed)..... hmmmmmmmmmmmm :con2:

My guess: since last time everyone just shrugged and said "So friggin' what?" about Sirius, she's going to up the ante and make it someone more beloved.
