Marianne:

Agreed.  I have not seen the whole transcript but I know she said 
something that clarified that she was *not* talking about killing 
off secondary characters.  My heart sang, not because I'm a 
bloodthirsty gore-hound, but because I was afraid that there would 
be a lot of deaths of people that are peripheral to the story.  We, 
the readers, would recognize the names, but not get that emotional 
kick in the guts you get when a more major character dies.

My feeling has always been that, if JKR wants to show the horror of 
this type of war and the menacing threat of Vmort's type of evil, 
she's got to hit us where it hurts, by killing characters we care 
about.  

I still think that thicket of Weasleys will be thinned out a bit...
