Just a thought, but basically I think that with Percy being the weak
link (as I think most recognize) I am myself debating on who will die
in the next book. Personally my choices are Hagrid or Mr. Weasely.
Both seem to fit into JKR`s description. For this post I will stick
with why I think it will be Mr. Weasely. A few facts:
1) Voldemort and Co. are back in action.
2) Seems that when alot of bad stuff starts to happen Dumbledore is
called or taken away by the Ministry of Magic.
3) Percy seems to care about advancement and tends to rebel against
the ways of the Weasely family.
4) Mr. Weasly is completely again Voldemort and Co. Obviously if Mr.
Malfoy has any say in it, Mr. Weasley will be one of the first to go.
Now, I have this theory that Percy will have to take sides and I just
do not see him having the will power to go against the MoM. I think
he may side with the bad side of the MoM as they will definately
know how to CONTROL him. His weaknesses are very evident, they will
play on it and give him higher positions. I think that he will think
he is doing the right thing, but..... I just have this feeling that
he will actually be somewhat if not directly responsible for his
fathers death. But, I have a feeling that in the end after alot of
soul searching and twists of fate.... Percy will switch sides
secretly and end up on the good side.
