Harry Potter

[kairigirl]

I will be even more furious if she does that. Lupin is so cool and Hagrid is Hagrid. You can't get rid of those guys. It'd be overhashing something. Killing Harry's parents then Sirius and Dumby was cutting it close. But getting rid of Hagrid and Lupin? No. That's just overkill. Sorry, but I would throw the books in a fire first before I read that Lupin and Hagrid are killed.

I'm still sticking to Harry and Ginny dying. If I wrote a series and was getting rich off of it like Rowling is, but I'm falling under the whole cliche thing, I would get out of it by doing something totally cruel and unexpected. Something unpopular.

Don't worry, Remus Lupin isn't going to die.

Neither is Harry or Ginny.

[dejah]

there's only so many characters she can kill off. =|

i dont think there's much left.

the only two that are coming to mind are lupin and snape.

it's just my opinion, but JK always does what we dont expect her to. =|

[Phoenix]

I reiterate my "Rowling said a character would get a reprieve, and Rowling also said the Remus x Tonks thing came to her in book 5, so the character with the reprieve is Remus" theory.

[dejah]

too many characters are being thought to get the reprieve. some more than the others.

like i said, nobody can really know what it will be?

i mean for all you know, remus and tonks could die together in some tragic attempt to save harry.

[Phoenix]

No, nobody could really know, but some have more evidence than other. Let's recap:

1. Someone was meant to die in book 7, but JK spared him/her.
2. The Remus/Tonks thing came out of thin air in book 6 (I said 5th, sorry). JK said so herself in an interview.
3 So, more likely than not, event that JK thought of while writing book 6 may have inspired her to spare some and kill others. This is one of the events that came out of nowhere.

[dejah]

i wont be surprised if she kills of alot of major characters.

they are in a war after all.

i expect alot of the minor characters to be dead.

there was a rumour that she's halfway through with 750 pages.

i think that's bollocks, but hey one can hope. =|

[Josiah]

Yeah. I expect that some of Harry's Gryffindor Friends to die >.>;; ...Maybe Dean Thomas since JK Hasn't elaborated on his backround or Story meaning that he may not be very important O.O

>.>;; ...Pshaw!... 750 pages???! I saw this on Mugglenet T_T; ...Gotta be kidding me.

[Phoenix]

Ya, Dean is a muggle-born. He's in danger.

[dejah]

actually i think JK elaborated a bit on Dean Thomas' charater.

In fact, I think Chris was slightly taken aback by the amount of information I had on this peripheral character. I had a lot of background on Dean, though I had never found the right place to use it. His story was included in an early draft of 'Chamber of Secrets' but then cut by me, because it felt like an unnecessary digression. Now I don't think his history will ever make it into the books.

Dean is from what he always thought was a pure Muggle background. He has been raised by his mother and his stepfather; his father walked out on the family when Dean was very young. He has a happy home life, with a number of half-brothers and sisters.

Naturally when the letter came from Hogwarts Dean's mother wondered whether his father might have been a wizard, but nobody ever discovered the truth: that Dean's father, who had never told his wife what he was because he wanted to protect her, got himself killed by Death Eaters when he refused to join them. The projected story had Dean discovering all this during his school career. I suppose in some ways, I sacrificed Dean's voyage of discovery for Neville's, which is more important to the central plot.

pity. i would have really liked to see how his story came out in the books.
maybe he'll kill the person who killed his father.

[Phoenix]

Ah. That's what he meant when he said "my parents are muggles, mate".

Would it have killed her to make the books longer ? I suppose that'd have made me sadder when Ginny dumped him.... hahahaha.

Now that you mention it... That actually sounds kinda probable >.>; ...I hope that does happen! O_o; ...Dean Thomas isn't the most important Gryffindor student. >.>;; It would be kinda cool to have him do something That Big =/

I remember J.K. Saying that when she watched Movie three >.>;; ...She had chills because there were so many things in the movie that were connected to Book 7... I Think the small things that happened in the movie, that didn't happen in the book... Any ideas???! :/

[Phoenix]

Not going to happen. Since Dean already said his parents are muggle, it means Rowling dropped the plot.

Oh yeah. True. I didn't consider that part T_T; ...Still would've been awesome though =/

[dejah]

she didnt drop the plan.

her stories and character backgrounds are all fixed.

Dean says his parents are muggles because his step father's been his father figure for as long as he can remember and he considers him father.

he's never known his real father. and JK said that he was supposed to find out as he goes along that he really is a half-blood instead of a muggleborn.
