*Waves her hand frantically* Ooh..I have something to say about this topic. Actually, when I read this post I thought of a previous post that I've read here about a certain Pope Cornelius and Pope Lucius. Right after Pope Cornelius died, the next pope who succeeded him was Pope Lucius. I'm not sure about the details of his death, but anyway. Coincidence? I've been wondering about it ever since. Is this another of JKR's hints about what will happen in the future books? We can only guess...

 I believe and I suspect in OOP (in my humblest opinion) that Cornelius Fudge *should* and would die. Why? Because think about it, we know Fudge to be a powerful and influential person. He is not the Minister of Magic for nothing. In his hands, he has the power to execute laws and even control the so called media in the Wizarding world and others. I'm not sure though if he is respected in the wizarding community. For me, he is neither one of the good guys or the bad guys.I believe that his death would  mark a major change in the series. Read my explanation below. 

  Now, here we have Lucius Malfoy, also a very powerful person, rich and wealthy, who can possibly get away with almost anything because of it. Now imagine what the death of Cornelius Fudge would bring about. Chaos. Disorder. I believe that with the death of Fudge and with all the chaos around, Lucius would gain every opportunity he has to rise to that power, he may even become the next Minister of Magic himself. I could not even imagine how terrible it would be if a DeathEater ruled. I pity the muggle borns. This would be a perfect opportunity for Voldemort to extend his reign indirectly, which would even become more of an obstacle to Dumbledore and co. This would cause a great shift indeed in the book/s to come, making it darker. (did not JKR say that the books are going to get darker?) This could start a new age of terror.

 Of course, this is just my theory :> If I were the writer (I wish), I would want my readers to actually get the "feel" of Voldemort's terror and darkness to appreciate and understand fully what the protagonists must go through to fight and win the war in the end. What better way to do it then killing Cornelius Fudge? I have no idea if his death will actually *enhance* Book 5, but it would sure scare a lot of people. Actually, I'm hoping I'm wrong about this. Lucius is a meanie to begin with.
