Upcoming Deaths (44107)

No: HPFGUIDX 45213


Welcome, Debbie!

<<<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 feel the same way myself sometimes, but I think can safely say that EVERYONE on this list has a Ph.D....in Harry Potter, of course!  Including you, I'm sure! 

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

<snip>


<<<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).>>>

I think Dumbledore's time will come sooner than the last chapter, mostly because he is looking more tired than ever (JKR does reference this a lot), and the series seems to be leading to less and less involvement from Dumbledore and more of Harry handling Voldemort on his own.  

<<<<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.>>>

I think the romance between R/H will be allowed to bloom throughout the rest of the series, and that Ron will be spared...at least until the end.  I just don't like that forshadowing of the chess game where he sacrifices himself.  Yes, I'm a bit concerned about my precious little Ronniekins.

I agree that something is planned for Neville, but what that is, I am not yet sure.  There's a theory going around that he's had very strong memory charms put on him as a toddler because he saw his parents get crucio-ed, and that's why he is so forgetful and clumsy.  Maybe those memory charms wil be removed and Neville will really come into his own, which I would love to see.

I also read a rumor that Neville will be under Imperio for all of OoP and that this Imperio was started by BartyJr!Moody in GOF when "Moody" is teaching them about the 3 unforgivables.  Supposedly, Voldemort takes over this Imperios after Barty gets kissed, and Neville becomes this great wizard and Quidditch player, becoming the captain and forcing Harry to endanger his life by putting him in dangerous Quidditch situations.  I don't really buy this theory, but it's out there, and when I say it's out there, I mean it's "out there"!

<<<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.>>>


I agree with you here.  There will be some characters that we've only heard their name in passing, perhaps at the sorting or in an adjoining class with the Gryffindors, and that their families will be killed.  And muggle families with students at Hogwarts.  I suspect they might be first, considering Voldemort's hatred of Mudbloods.  That makes me very worried for Hermione's family for this next book,  and Colin's family, as well as Justin's and countless other muggle-borns.  Oooohh, it's making my tummy ache just thinking about it, so I will stop now.  What will come will come...

curiously on his forehead....but daddy refused to name him Harry.>>>

Too bad!  He would have had a built-in Halloween costume! :-)  

I finished reading GOF about 8 hours before giving birth to my daughter in 2000.  It was so good I wanted to start reading it again, but labor had progressed by then and I was a little busy.  I still brought it to the hospital, however. :-)
