Serena, 

I thought the illustrations gave away far more than the spoilers.
Admittedly, it was my own fault for looking ahead. The one I thought 
the most obvious was the inside front cover because it showed Sirius 
leaving when everyone was trying so hard to keep him inside. I thought 
that gave away Sirius's death. I also found out it wasn't Lupin as soon 
as I looked at the illustration for the final chapter. The one time I 
thought someone else might die was early on, when Mrs. Weasley was 
attacking the boggart, and Harry walked in on the boggart/dead Ron. I 
was like, "that's it?!"
