Rob Now:\

I am 100% positive that Serius's death is not the one death that was 
really hard to write.  Remember in either GOF or OOTP, (books not 
available at this moment) Firenz says that this is just a calm 
between two wars and the second is worse than the first.  The first 
war saw the end of the Potters and the deaths of many characters not 
to mention what happened to the Longbottoms.  Since this one is 
supposed to be worse according to the stars, we are going to see the 
deaths of a few characters that we hold close to our hearts.
