After thinking about it some more I've come to the conclusion that 
I'm wrong, nobody will die in the next book and I'll tell you why. 
Everybody is certain somebody will die but Rowling ALWAYS surprises 
us. Nobody can die on the last page of the book because if there has 
been no death by the time we read the second to the last page we will 
know somebody must die on the last page and so we will not be the 
slightest bit surprised, thus nobody will die on that page. What a 
surprise! In the same way after we have read the third to the last 
page we will be certain that nobody can die on the second to the last 
page, using the same reasoning we can work our way all the way back 
to page 1. Thus we can be absolutely positively 100% certain that 
nobody will die in the next book; and if there is a death on page 117 
we will be very surprised.
