Oddly, I saw another report from ThistleThorne (aol.com):

One of my local news web sites just released a bit of information

Rowling To Kill Off Another 'Harry Potter' Character
POSTED: 7:56 am EDT October 8, 2004

LONDON -- "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling said Friday 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.

The sixth book in the series, "Harry Potter And The Half-Blood
Prince," is due to be published next year.

Potter himself is safe, at least for now. Rowling has previously
said her teenage hero will survive until the seventh and final book
in the series, but has refused to say whether he will reach
adulthood.

> But the "next year" assertion is interesting.  Very interesting.

Another source saying a character will die in book 6 and publishing is
next year.

Her local news could be recycling CNN's report.
