OOOOH, I like that one.  Dragon-death could be nice and gruesome, 
yet rather poetic given Hagrid's passion for them.

Another possibility that occurs to me is that he & Mme. Maxime 
manage to persuade the giants to come back to Britain and all will 
be forgiven.  Fudge freaks out, orders his aurors to attack them 
over Dumbledore's objections, and Hagrid is killed trying to protect 
Mummy.  He could even die in Olympe's arms.  Of course, this lacks 
the Harry Bang/angst (Bangst?) I find necessary to make Hagrid's 
death worthwhile, so it's pretty far down the list of my favorite 
theory

So many Hagrid deaths to choose from ... I can't wait to see which 
one JKR has chosen.

much fun he is to bump off
