Death

In my opinion, although Hagrid and Dumbledore's days are numbered, 
they are still in double figures :)
I believe in book 6, Hagrid will sacrifice his life for 
Dumbledore, but Dumbledore will die in book 7.
JKR said it would be one of Harry's fans who dies in OoP.  The main 
ones are:
Colin Creevey - already been petrified, so I don't believe it will 
be him
Ginny Weasley - Tom Riddle almost killed her, so I don't think it 
will be her

Dobby - I don't think Dobby is important enough a character.  Don't 
get me wrong, he is amazingly cute, and definitely one of Harry's 
fans, but I can't see it happening, personally.

Hagrid - Robbie Coltrane said: 

'I know about what happens to Hagrid, which is something author JK 
Rowling told me from the beginning to help me prepare me for the 
part,' he said. 'There is a death in the fifth book of a central 
character. But I can't say more than that.' 

This makes me believe more that Hagrid's days are numbered.  Also, 
when asked if he was signed up for all 7 movies, he quoted "sort 
of".  This could of course mean that Hagrid lives but they get a new 
actor, but I don't think so.  I think this means that he is signed 
up for 6 movies, so I think Hagrid will die in the 6th book, no 
earlier.

Molly Weasley - Mrs Weasley gets my vote.  It may sound crazy but 
she is a fan of Harry's and has become kind of a mother figure to 
him, so her death would affect him greatly.  JKR said somewhere that 
one event that happened in her life has an influence on the plot - 
her mother's death.  This could be a parallel to Ginny growing up 
without a mother, and she would effectively be writing how she felt 
about her own mother's death, thus it being "horrible to write".  
Maybe Harry would comfort Ginny ;)

Come 21st June, if JKR proves me wrong, fair enough, she's the 
writer.  I don't want any of them to die :'( except Voldemort and 
all of his death eaters, basically all the EVIL PEOPLE!

(there are some interesting theories on www.mugglenet.com if anyone 
hasn't yet visited it and is interested.  I will also mention that 
the page contains spoilers for the impending OoP release, including 
the new Gryffindor Keeper, but if you don't want to know yet, don't 
worry, you have to highlight it to read it.)
