No, no, no. His mother is going to reject him. Totally. In a 
wonderful parallel to Tom Riddle's father Tom Riddle rejecting 
*him*. This caused Tom, Jr. to reject and hate all muggle-kind. 

Hagrid, of course, will be Not Like That. He will be forgiving of 
Giant kind. He will however, be so miserable about Mummy's rejecting 
him that he returns as a ghost. After he's been torn into a thousand 
tiny pieces by Mummikins in a rage.


Me:  I can't imagine Hagrid coming back as a ghost. I think he's too at peace with himself to come back as a ghost.  Nor could I imagine "mummikins" ripping him into pieces.  That would certainly be a good piece of evidence that the wizarding communities' prejudice against giants was justified.  I also think this series will have enough sad points in it without Ms. Rowling's loyal readers turning it into a soap opera! Or a Greek tragedy! (as much as some of you obviously LOVE Greek tragedies!) No.  It will of course be Voldemort doing the killing probably directly but possibly by proxie.  How and why I won't venture to guess.  Hopefully Hagrid will accomplish something very positive in the "war" in his death.  Even so he's never really had to show any, I bet if forced into a corner, his courage is as big as his girth. He'll die courageously I am certain.    Huggs Becky  PS Just for the record I would be delighted if it turns out the author has changed her mind and decided to let the poor guy live!  Surprised, but delighted!
