If Draco dies, I'll be annoyed, and not just 'cause I love his nasty-assed self. It's the easy out--"I can only redeem myself by dying in the cause of truth and right." It's a good argument against Snape, but Snape dying in Harry's cause will inflict the most angst on Harry.
Neville? I think he's a duck in the shooting gallery. There's the whole slew of second tier folk--Pansy, the Patils, Seamus--that are up for grabs.
Did Rowling just say that someone will die? Because that's been happening every book now since Book Four. If that's all it is, I can stop avoiding it.
If it's something more specific than that, I don't want to know.
bt, I was more worried about the lack of wrapping up anything in VI
P-C, it's a specific body count.
That's what I was beginning to be afraid of. I don't want to know the number!
P-C, it's a specific body count.
That's how the headline reads, but if you read the actual quote, it comes across as more like a minimum. She said,
"One character got a reprieve. But I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die... A price has to be paid. We are dealing with pure evil here. They don't target extras do they? They go for the main characters. Well, I do."
I gotta say, if Harry doesn't die I may have to FIE UPON THEE to that series forever.
That said, I'm pretty sure he won't.
And I stand corrected by Jon.
Really, David? I'd much rather have the Buffy-end-of-series moment. Let The Boy Who Lived actually have, you know, a life. I rather hope that Ginny also survives, because I'm a sap that way.
The spoilers are getting more specific as to who is likely to die. I wonder if Rowling is doing foilers.
