J.K. Rowling has revealed that 2 characters will die in the last Harry Potter book, which is supposed to come out next July (7/7/07 - nerds). I kind of hope it's Harry. Not because I hate Harry Potter, but because I am the type of person that likes it when the main character dies. Also because I am a jerk. But this is the end of the series - what point would there be in keeping Harry alive?
I think the other person to die will be Hermoine or Ron. There will be an epic fight involving Malfoy, Snape, Voldemort, and the rest. Voldemort will die, as will several others. But the two important ones are Harry and Friend. There will be much mourning by all.
Now don't go running to the press saying that you know how it ends. I have no correspondance with JK, which means I have no influence over her. To thwart you from even thinking the next logical step, I am certainly not JK myself. You really have no proof of this except for my word, but keep in mind that I must have one hell of an imagination to keep thinking up the crappy conundrums that happen while I am at work in Brooklyn. Of course, I might be imagining them while I am in my English countryside manor, having lots of time on my hands as the World's Richest Woman.
So I will argue this dead point no more. But isn't it true that you've never seen me and JK in the same room together? There might be a Superman / Clark Kent thing going on between us. I'll take this time to mention that while most super heroes wear masks or disguises (Batman, the Flash, Captain America, Johnny Cannuck, etc.) Clark Kent is Superman's disguise. Other heroes have followed with the secret identity wearing glasses and a business suit, like Wonder Woman / Diana, but Superman was the first. JK is the Clark Kent in this relationship. My natural appearance is the super one. My disguise is a mild mannered, middle aged Englishwoman.
Pretty good disguise, eh? I don't even need glasses. But I might get some now, because you all will recognize me without them.
So to return to my original point: Harry Potter is going to die. However, I think there will be such public outrage that Harry will have to be miraculously returned to life and JK / des will be forced out of a comfortable retirement to continue writing of his adventures, a la Sir Arthur Conan Doyle / Sherlock Holmes.
Don't say I didn't warn you.

that's a very slashy / backslashy post.
I actually think Snape might be good. I know that sounds fucked up given that he used the unforgiveable curse (or whatever it is called) on Dumbledore, but he was sworn to protect Malfoy and Malfoy would have been nailed by Voldemort if Dumbledore didn't croak. Plus, Dumbledore might have actually been asking him to end it so that Harry would no longer be held back and do what he needed to do. I don't know. I got a lot of these ideas from Entertainment Weekly.
I agree with you about Harry though. I think that Ginny will die with him and that Ron and Hermione will (unfortunately) carry on together.
I can't wait for the book.
I never noticed the resemblance before. Of course, I didn't know what you looked like before, other than bat/penguin.
Hermione has got to get the axe. Why? Because the smart girl always must die. It is a rule.
I'm amazed that you all know the characters. I'm impressed.
