[HPforGrownups] truly evil female character, was: Re: Icicle

[Helen R. Granberry]

No: HPFGUIDX 58915

 

I just went to the link that tells info on GOF.  I'm confused...


1. "The first truly evil female character makes her debut."---Rita?

2."There will be a number of deaths, including that of one character 
readers have grown to love."----I only remember Cedric?  Who else 
died?  Did we "love" Cedric?  I mean he's ok and all, but "love"?

3.Another Weasley, Ron's cousin, appears.---HUH???  I must have 
missed that.


Can anyone shed some light for me?

 

Ah, the Rita character was originally supposed to be a Weasley cousin.
That one is easy. For reasons JKR hasn't elaborated on, it didn't work,
created a plot hole or something. Cedric was important to the plot of
GoF, and he was a likable character. However... from JKR's POV, she
considered his death a pretty serious deal. In fact, I think she even
said in an interview once that she was surprised people weren't as upset
about his death as she was. She did consider it an important death of a
loved character.
