The Death of Book 5

I personally think that Hagrid is going to be the death of book 5. 
Mostly because at the end of GoF Hagrid says, and I quote: "Got a 
little job fer me over the summer," said Hagrid. "Secret though. I'm 
not s'pposed ter talk abou' it, no, not ever ter you lot. Olympe- 
Madame Maxime ter you- might be comin' with me. I think I got her 
persuaded." "Is it to do with Voldemort?" "Migh' be," he said 
evasively. 

If Dumbledore wanted Hargid and Madame Maxime do do this 'little job' 
I am mostly likely thinking it is to said convoy to the Giants up in 
the mountains, it would make sense. Considering that Hagrid is 
confirmed as to being half-giant and Madame Maxime most certainly is 
this could create tension with the full-blooded giants. This could 
perhaps be like some tensions that can arise between full blood/half-
blood/muggle-born wizards. I could seriously see Hagrid being killed 
in the struggle. 

Many people speculate that Molly Weasley may be the one to go. This 
is entirely possible, though I do not have either any evidence to 
support or to disagree with this theory as I have never thought of 
this scenario before. I suppose it is possible. 

I don't really see any of the Dursleys being the death, because even 
though JKR indeed did say that they will be playing a bigger part in 
these coming books JKR also said that this death was particullary 
difficult to write which makes me wonder if it could be the Dursleys 
because I don't see them being the most difficult of characters to 
kill off. 

I can't really see it being Hermione or Ron, I'm not really sure why 
but it just doesn't seem as if she'd kill of one of them...at least 
yet. Those deaths would be huge and tramatizing. If she does end up 
killing one of them I could see it being in the last book. 

Dumbledore could be a possibility for a death in OotP but if it was I 
don't think it would be because Richard Harris died. JKR has had 
these plot lines mapped out since the beginning of Potter and even 
though Harris' death was a huge loss I couldn't really see her 
altering the entire plotline just to accomadate the film version. 
Also considering that they may not even make a fifth movie and they 
are currently in production of the 3rd one it would seem slightly 
pointless to kill Dumbledore off in the books simply for the films. 

I still believe it is going to be Hagrid. His death would be very 
difficult to write because JKR  has said they she enjoys to write 
Hagrid's part, he is also a huge fan of Harry's (this evidence is 
clear in GoF when Hagrid is constantly complimenting Harry on the 
tournament, true Harry is a close friend to Hagrid but he was like 
this when he first met Harry, before he could even start a 
relationship with him. Another reason for my theory of Hagrid being 
the one to be killed off is that it is almost like a gut feeling. 
Something tells me that it will be him, though I don't pretend that 
my intuition has never failed and I hope depseratly that I am wrong 
because Hagrid is easily one of my favourite long running characters.
