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.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Then stay the course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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."

Hey. New board.
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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
The spoilers are getting more specific as to who is likely to die. I wonder if Rowling is doing foilers.

Because books.
I'd much rather have the Buffy-end-of-series moment. Let The Boy Who Lived actually have, you know, a life.
I feel the same way.
And I was just saying the other day to Ben, who's nine, it's kind of a disappointing summer after last year -- no new book! No Harry Potter midnght event at the local bookstore! Feh.
