And what do we get- the death of Sirius! He only appears at the end of the third book, and he is mentioned in the 4th only in letters!! Ok, he is an IMPORTANT person, but hardly a main character.
And we have to wait until page 700 to find this out. I of course "cheated" and read ahead- I hope the story is good enough, anyway.

I was kinda convinced that it was Mr Weasley though, after Harry bit him! *and then unfort someone came visited, so I was left to ponder while they were over... I found out he lived after they left!!!*
It was just so quick and unexpected though... too sudden to make me really saddened by it... I was much sadder when I thought that it was Mr W...
Oh wells though...

Sirius was kind of strange through the story though... I mean, I felt sympathy for him, having to remain in that house that he completely hated, all by himself, sorry, with only Kreatcher for company...
But at the same time, he acted very childish about the whole thing... Getting all surley and snapping at people? That kind of irritated me a bit... Just made you want to slap him and say 'Grow up'
I mean, yes, you would would expect him to be unhappy, and feeling left out, but I didnt' think that he would take those feelings out on the likes of Mrs Weasley and other members of the Order??? Very immature.

Also, Scholastic released a summary, which Blaise Zambini (I'm pretty sure) posted here in the Theories section quite a while ago... *called Theories - Based on the Summary (or something very similar) *
It said stuff like the DADA teacher will have a personality like poisoned honey, there will be a vicious, disgrunteled house elf, Ron will be the Griffindor Keeper, and that Harry has dreams abouta single door at the end of an empty hallway... (also, these things are only written from my memory, not direct quotes!!! The one int he theories section is a quoted properly though! )
Hrmm, also Bludy Mery, have you read OOTP yet? Because if you keep readingposts in here, you are almost definately going to come across people saying things that are for fact in OOTP... I would have just then, but I am getting te drift that maybe you havent' read it yet???
