Harry- Survives. I'm 100% certainly JKR is not going to kill off the main character.  <snip>
 
Mela's reply:  I tend to agree, but not because Harry is the main character but because I do not think that she would put that much emphasis on Harry being the boy who lived only to kill him off at age 17, maybe I'm wrong though.

 

 


TJ:Hermione -- Survives.  99% certain.

 

My reply: One of the trio is going to die, who I am not sure.  I doubt it's HErmione though she's too smart to die.  She's also too important to the plot. 


TJ:Ron -- Survives...I think.  But I'm only about 60-70% certain.  Ron 
is my favourite character and I do sometimes wake up at 4 a.m. with 
bleak thoughts and think that Ron might be killed off.  I don't think 
it's likely, but it could happen.

My reply:  Nobody wants their favorite character to die, I know I personally didn't want Sirius to die.  But that's the way it goes.  I think Ron will end up dying in some sort of sacrifice.  Not sure about that though.

TJ:Dumbledore-- Dead, Dead, Dead.  I'm 100% certain DD will not be alive 
at the end of Book 7, having died heroically to save Harry/the 
world/whatever.

 

My reply: That's interesting and while I tend to agree I agree less with that now than I did before OOP.  I thought for sure Dumbledore would die in this book, but alas I was really wrong.  I am not sure about him anymore.  I actually think he will probably end up alive, you know how some books the only one that survives is the one who seemed to be likely to go first.  


TJ wrote: Hagrid--Survives...I think.  But I'd say I'm only about 50-60% sure 
of this. All the pre-OOP predictions I had seen about who was going 
to die had the money on Hagrid.  He is such a universal favourite I'm 
still a little concerned he may be a sacrificial lamb.

 

My reply:  I"m a bit confused with what the hell Hagrid is offering to the plot anymore. So he's axed.  But my luck he'll be the sole survivor *i really do not like him, sorry!*

 


TJ: Neville Longbottom--Dead.  80% certain.  Neville is being groomed for 
a larger part in the series, with his role in the prophecy and his 
growing strength of character.  I'm quite certain there will not be 
more than one Hogwarts student die in the series--I don't see JKR 
killing off too many younger characters.  I'd say most likely Neville 
will be the only other student to die, again (like  DD) heroically, 
but if he survives, then Ron won't.  It's one or the other as far as 
I can see.

 

My reply: No, no, no.  Neville will survive.  Why?  I just can't see it happening.  He's going to grow up and marry Ginny!


TJ: Snape--Survives.  But I'm only giving this about a 70% certainty.  I 
could see him getting killed off.
 
My reply:  He'll die towards the end of the books.  I do not see him dying before the end mainly because of importance he serves plotwise.  Could you imagine Hogwarts with Snape?
 


TJ:Draco--Survives.  You can't kill his kind.  I hope his father goes 
down in a big way, but I'm not counting him as a major character.

My reply:  You said it. Beautiful.

TJ:Everyone else I can think off offhand--all the rest of the Weaseleys, 
the Dursleys, other Hogwarts students, Remus Lupin...I confidently 
expect to survive.

I'd love to know other people's thoughts on who's going to make it 
and who's going to bite the big one.

tj

MY reply:  I'm praying about Lupin surviving but I think it is possible he could die.  
 
One clearly forgotten character is Pettigrew, I believe he will die saving Lupin or Harry in the end.  
 
And somebody in the blasted Weasley family has to die.  LOL  They are far too big.  And it's not going to Percy because who would care.  I know I personally would not.  I'd be happy.
