Hi everyone!

Yes, I am a newbie and have not responded, although I have wanted to, 
because I wanted to do my research around the site first. Also, you 
are all intimidating with your knowledge and talk like Ph.D's. :-)

I found message 44107 to be very interesting. When I came aboard, 
most people were talking about Ron possibly dying in the next book.

Yes, the great JK Rowling has said book 4 was the beginning of the 
deaths, and one death in particular, later in the series, was going 
to be very difficult for people.

I think that the difficult death will be Dumbledore, possibly in the 
last chapter of the series. He has helped Harry so many times, and 
the final time will result in his death (possibly to save Harry).

As for all the people thinking Ron will die in OoP, the "romance" 
between he and Hermione is just starting to bloom. I don't think JK 
would spend so much time developing that storyline just to kill it in 
the next book. Personally, I think Neville may be one of the next 
ones. He is, in some degree, a major character. He helped them win 
the house cup in HPSS. In GoF, you learn about his parents and their 
fate. Again, I don't think JK would spend time on these subjects, for 
no reason whatsoever. She has something planned for Neville.

As for the plural "deaths", I think the Death Eaters will begin their 
next killing spree, killing all and any in their way, wizards and 
muggles. Most will be nameless faces to us, but some will affect us 
more deeply.

Just my thoughts.
