Killing off Characters

Ken:"I've noticed that a lot of the discussion here, particularly 
recently, revolves around who's going to die and when. I understand 
that some important characters will die, and it will have a great 
impact on the story."

This is the Reverse Book Effect, or "Priori Librum," which holds that 
we are all expecting the next book to be the same as the last one we 
read -- you know, the one JKR said would have a major death in it. 
This Book 5 is going to be hard on JKR, because it's too early to get 
into the crisis of the battle and therefore too early to kill off 
central characters wholesale.  The deaths I've heard that I think have 
the best chance of happening are Dobby's, Ginny's, and Percy's. I 
think Hagrid will stick around until Book Six or Seven.

As far as the games go, check with people here before buying one. 
they've been disappointing. All of the merchandise was a rush job, 
IMO.
