I won't say who the character is, but let's face it, at one time or
another, we have all predicted this particular characters death.

I suspect what happened is some random bloke was having his coffee at the local coffee shop and said, I think 'so-and-so' is going to die,and the mere fact that this person was within 50 miles of the printing factory set off a stampede to the local betting shop. 

Move along folks, nothing to see here.

So you are saying a leak wasn't likely?  Obviously there was nothing inspired in the actual prediction.  In fact I totally think it improbable the HBP prediction is correct.  JKR said many times that story line was discarded.  Tingtingler also had some strong remarks about it.  My purpose for posting it was mainly curiosity about any additional news concerning the "leak" and the betting--not about what the prediction was.  Tingtingler said the same thing happened last release and that the books are being publishing in Germany, not at the location in the story.  I understood it that parts were being published both places.  I also want to point out that this is not just a rag paper running the story.  As for its predictions, I don't care and there is definitelyly nothing to see.  It is the business and JKR's precautions that I find of interest.
