Potential Future Death in Book 6 or 7 (spoilers)

[Colin]

Rev Mom: I understand completely. I cannot lust over Hermione because that is just plain wrong:)

I really want to see The Two Towers also.

[Just Mom]

You're right about Hermione. But there's always Professor McGonnagall.(sp!) Or Madam Hooch! Professor Sprout? Molly Weasley's pretty cute in that mom-ish sort of way.

I've already seen The Two Towers three times, but want to see the extended version with the deleted scenes added. I would have thought that a LOTR (I am in awe that you knew Gandalf was a Maia) expert like you would have seen it by now.

[Colin]

Yes! Maggie Smith is looking good!

I have not been to the movies in a very long time. Alas. I read all the time.

[Lizzy Bennet]

Not to be schoolmarmy , but let's try to stay on topic, please...I think we've drifted fairly far!

I've read rumours that Lupin will be the one to die in future books, and I REALLY hope that isn't true! He's the remaining Marauder, and Harry's last link to his parents. Dumbledore is also a candidate because Harry leans on him somewhat, and in the end, it's going to probably just be Harry and Voldemort.

Oh, no! Tears!!! The more I think about it, the more convinced I am that DD will die, but I would cry and cry! And McGonagall would cry, and all the wizards, and Harry... I'd better stop. But if LUPIN died -- I don't think I could stand it. It took me forever to get used to the suspicion of DD dying, and I'd have to take several months off to grieve if I thought Lupin would die!
But on a less emotional level... I actually think JK will refrain from killing Lupin BECAUSE he is the last (good) maurauder. I dunno, it just strikes me as kinda corny that the previous gang all dies and the current trio (presumably) lives.

[Gower]

Although the deaths of Cedric and Sirius had a considerable impact on me, I never actually cried. Having seen loads of others bursting into tears, i am slightly worried , am i an emotionally frigid person?

[menotyoo]

I agree, and Ive posted this in other threads, with all of you who think that Lupin will rejoin his friends- killed quite likely while avenging James and Sirius' deaths, maybe even by wormtail.
wormtail will also die. His life is owed to harry, in PoA there was mention of a magic that sealed this with harry- so voldemort may kill him when he tries to defy him when LV tries to kill harry

[Meg Boyd]

I feel that Lupin will not die quite yet and will not be the next one offed. I think his role in the series has not quite played out yet, so he may live to see the 7th book. However, I don't think Lupin will live to see the Epilogue.

[Rayneisblu]

If Mrs. Weasley cares enough to sacrifice her life for her own children, then maybe she WILL be the one to die I really hope not though, because I love Mrs. Weasley

Yeah, I think that she will sacrifice her life also for either her own children, or for Harry or Hermione. But then and again i think that one of the twins will die.

[wizard_gurl4ev]

I dont think any of them will die it would be to f****n' wack
If 1 has to die (this is mean) it sould be Percy because he really hurt Mrs. Weasley by sendin his sweater back and now he might belive that Voldemort is back but if they told him about everything he could go tell is boss and ruin everything and that would sux!!!!!

I love how people act like since it wouldn't be "fair," certain people shouldn't die...

To quote the great S. Morgenstern, "Life is pain! Anyone who says differently is selling you something."

Not to sound cynical, but Ms. Rowling is writing about a war. In war, good guys and bad guys die. It happens. Why assume that because it would hurt Harry's feelings or because we don't want it to happen, the good guys suffer no more casualties and the bad guys all get theirs in the end? With two more books and a huge war coming (and Voldywart becoming mor terrible than ever before, according to prophesy) good guys will die.

I like Lupin, but I think he'll be killed. I think there's a good possibility Dumbledore will die. I agree with whoever started this thread that a Weasley will snuff it, and to tell the truth, I don't think it'll be the one we don't like. My money is on Mr. or Mrs. Weasley.

[Meg Boyd]

Sadly, I agree. I hate to be a downer on the whole matter, but I really do think a goodie like Lupin or Mr/Mrs Weasley will die. It is sad, but bad things happen to good people whether we like it or not. Another suggestion is Moody, since he is oh so paranoid, he is likely to get in to some unwanted trouble this way...maybe he'll burn his buttocks by his wand, eh??? hehe

[Athena Appleton]

*just fell onto the floor laughing at the thought of a buttock-impaired Moody*

[Ferrus]

In war, good guys and bad guys die.

Well, no bad guys have been offed yet have they?

On a more serious note, I´m sure that somebody IS going to die and I know that I´ll hate JKR when she does it... Hope its note Lupin though...

[Athena Appleton]

no, but i think it's safe to say that in war, both sides will suffer casualties.
