I know JKR said there would be more deaths, but this sounds more like 
a bloodbath!! Anyway, here's my picks for most likely to die...

1.Probably Dumbledore. He seems a very obvious choice, plus he's old. 
Better for him to go out in a blaze of glory than gumming his food in 
a wizard old-age home.

2. Snape, heaven forbid. I'd hate to see him go (being a Snape 
partisan) but I can't help but think JKR is plotting to take him out, 
possibly redeeming him in the process.

3. Hagrid. I'm really rooting for this one. Hopefully, it will be due 
to some act of gross negligence on his part. It would serve as a 
lesson to HRH on the deadly consequences of acting like an overgrown 
infant. In any case, it's a perfect metaphor for the death of Harry's 
childhood innocence, though I suppose by that logic, he should have 
been killed off immediately after Cedric. Darn.

4. One or more of the Weasleys. I don't think it will be Fred of 
George (again, heaven forbid) but the rest of them are fair game in 
my estimation. Makes sense, if only because there are so many of 
them. Hopefully it will be Percy, but I wouldn't lay odds on it.

5. Lupin. I've heard alot of people mention this one. I hope not, as 
I really like him. Besides, killing him might be a bit much after 
Sirius. If we start hearing too much about his past, or other 
personal information in book 6 or 7, then I reckon it's curtains for 
Wolfboy. 

6. One or both of the Creevey brothers. OK, this is more of a wish 
than a prediction, but if any of the kids have to die, I hope it's 
one of these little syncophants. I'm sorry, but I just hate them.
