Hey guys.  I read an article online this morning that had part of 
recent JKR interview in it.  JKR said that she had re-written and re-
written the death again (in Book V), and when her husband came into 
the room she was crying very hard.  I can see how the death of any of 
her characters would be very upsetting for her to write, because they 
are like her children, her creation.  But for her to be SO undone by 
it?  I had heard the death was going to be really bad... but now I am 
starting to get SO worried.  I had been preparing myself to say 
goodbye to Hagrid.  But now I am SO worried that it might be Hermione 
or Ron!  I honestly never thought she would kill off anyone in the 
trio, but I am getting rather paranoid at this point!  Anyone know a 
a good spell to calm the nerves??  I am going to need about 50 
bottles of mulled mead to get through the rest of this week!
