[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Question about JKR interview in The Tatler

Tonks here:

My guess is that this is going to be bad, really, really bad.  It is
a "war" after all.  So it will by Ginny and Ron.  Or Ginny, Ron and
Hermione.   Or Ron and Hermione.  Somehow, Harry will be all alone. 
He will be in a very bad place.  Luna and Neville will help him if
they can.  But Harry will be suffering a great deal of grief* 
unbearable grief. 

Bad guys dying:
Draco -  This would cause the Malfoys to possible change sides.  We
would have sister against sister.  And what will happen to Lucius. 
He is too rich of a character to let disappear in Azkaban.

Snape, of course will have to die at some point in the book. I would
not expect it early on, however.

Could be some minor bad guys killed too.

All in all I think that JKR will have to (sad to say), top what she
has done up to now.   That means that book 7 will be worse for all
of us than any other book up to now.  And worse for poor Harry. 
Whether he ends up alive or dead in the end, it is going to be a
soul wrenching experience for us all.  But somehow, someway, she
will, by the grace of God, bring it all to a good end.  What a
job!!  She has painted herself into a corner here; let's hope that
she can pull it off.


Cairie:

Unfortunately the message is very clear that the fight is between Harry and Voldemort.  That means that Harry and Voldemort have to fight alone in the end.  I really hope that it would be only one person very close to Harry that will die.  I don't want to cry through the whole book!!  I cried enough over Dumbledore.
