Is it Ron?

Hi, all.

I'll go out on a limb and say that since a student was killed off in 
GoF, I don't think a student, at least not one close to Harry, will 
die in OoP.

Please don't pealt me with Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans ;-) , but 
I think JKR might kill off Hagrid.  The kids have grown to be smarter 
than he is in most respects, and they just don't need him any more in 
order to be successful.  Harry has done more for Hagrid than vice 
versa.

And of course, Hagrid's death would be highly emotional and tear-
jerking, and would provide even more incentive for Harry to carry on 
in the fight against Voldemort.

We know from GoF that Hagrid's "kind" are not trusted or accepted by 
some in the wizarding community.  I love Hagrid, and his character 
provides a lot of comic relief, but I feel uneasy about his future.

[BTW, I just joined recently and this is my first post.  Hope it is 
okay!]
