Today Show interview - deaths

Hey All!

Just watched the snippet of JK with Katie Couric. JK said the death 
was "what I considered a major character died." Which says to me, the 
rest of us may not think so (aka Cedric).

Also, a surprise to me was JK saying "when I say the beginning of the 
deaths, I mean the deaths, I suppose, that are meaningful to the 
reader."

What? I thought there would be deaths of people we don't really know, 
like some of the students parents. I was expecting maybe a few 
characters, but now it seems, to me, she's really going to kill quite 
a few off.

As for OoP, I had huge odds on Hagrid, but now I'm thinking Mrs. 
Weasley. I hope not.

Wow! 

Just over 12 hours until the book comes out!
