The movies all blew horribly. They made me love the books even more.

I think that either Fred or George are going to be killed.

I don't think so .. about the twins :neutral:

They don't play a large enough role ..

and I think my favorite movie was the second .. ron (rupert) was soo good in that one .. I LOVE the third movie though, it would have been brilliant if it wasn't so rushed :nod:

Well she's said Hagrid will be in all the books, so it's not Hagrid that dies next. She's also said that one of the kids will end up being a teacher at Hogwarts and that it's not Harry or Ron .. my guess is Hermione, unless she means someone else but Hermi is more fitting. So Hermione is safe .. and I can't see her killing off Ron until the last book if she plans on it .. same with Harry.

Here's an interview with her:

"Children know that a death or two will occur in the next books, and they're worried about some characters -- particularly Ron and Hagrid the groundskeeper. Do you pay attention to such concerns?"

"For five years, this was my internal world. It's still the most amazing thing to meet one person, let alone hordes of people, who knows these characters. It's heartwarming that people care enough about them to want them not to get hurt, but at the same time I have the absolute right to do what I like to my story and characters. I'm not going to write to order. I've planned the whole story, and I've always known who was going to die and who was going to come through u nscathed, and I'm not going to deviate from that."

"People love Ron, for example. Kids think you're going to knock off Ron because he's the best friend."

"Kids do, exactly, because they're sharp and they've seen so many films where the hero's best friend gets it. So they think I'm going to make it personal by killing Ron. But maybe that's a double bluff... (Laughs)"

"Now that you know they expect it, do you give it to them?"

No, I decided...It's not that I sat down with a list and decided to write, 'You're going, you're going, you're going.' There are reasons for the deaths in each case, in terms of the story. So that's why I'm doing it.

Because it's hard to draw the line here, isn't it? Because someone could read your book and say 'well, there's murder...'

"People die, but do you care when they die? Do you absolutely have a sense of how evil it is to take another person's life? Yes, I think in my book you do. I think you do. I think you see that is a horrific thing. I have enormous respect for human life. I do not think that you would read either of the deaths in that book and think, yeah, well, he's gone, off we go. Not at all. I think it's very clear where my sympathies lie. And here we are dealing with someone, I'm dealing with a villain who does hold human life incredibly cheap. That's how it happens: one squeeze of the trigger. Gone. Forever. That's evil. It's a terrible, terrible thing but you're right, I know where I draw the line. Other people will draw the line in a different place and they will disagree with me."

Is it true that you've already finished the end chapter for all your future books?

"I've written the final chapter of book seven, which was really an act of faith -- I was saying to myself, "You will get here!" It will probably need rewriting when I reach it, though."

I dunno :uhh:

She might not be killing off anyone important .. it could be Draco even. I honestly have no idea but I can't see it being one of the twins, that's just me though.

Maybe it will be the clumsy kid...what's his name?

Neville!

...I can't see them killing him off though. :uhh:

Ginny's already had a brush with death in book two .. I can't see JK picking on her again but I dunno. I'm gonna go with Draco .. just because of how his father is in with Voldemort and one of the deatheaters .. so that could make for an interesting twist to the story .. :think:

Rusty · Post by **Rusty** » 12/5/2004, 5:41 pm

Well last time she was all like "a main character is gonna die" then it turned out to be sirius. He wasn't too major really. I don't see her killing Draco he is the antagonist while Harry is at school. You can't kill him. I'm thinking maybe Percy. He turned into a real jerk so I can see him dying.

Joey · Post by **Joey** » 12/5/2004, 5:44 pm

Last time she said someone very important to Harry would die .. which was Sirius .. so he was a major character in Harry's life, which is how she meant that statement so what she said fit. Crabbe and Goyle would fill Draco's shoes I'm sure :lol:

Rusty · Post by **Rusty** » 12/5/2004, 5:46 pm

But Crabbe and Goyle are...well morons. I doubt they would be able to think of anything to say or do they just follow Draco around.

dude! i bet it's dean!

the half-blood prince, not the guy who dies.
