Book seven news

[author_by_night]

Edited Note: SPOILERS. Huge spoilers. Read at your own risk. I forgot to cut, so... yeah. Scroll like a bat out of Azkaban. Really. And yes, book seven, NOT book six.  Now, if you don't want spoilers, scroll!


So here it states that JKR is going to kill two people.

I have the worst feeling that it's Remus and Tonks. I don't know why, I just... do. 

I hope not though. I really hope not. And not just because of my ficverse; I really like their characters in the canon. 

Or... OMG... Fred and George?! 

No, she wouldn't. At least I hope not... as much as they utterly annoy me, they have provided some good comic relief.

I do have a feeling it'll be two people who are connected, though. Because the way she said "two people are going to die" seems to imply that.

It's just a book, it's just a book...

Why am I freaking out like this?!

F&G annoy you? Por Que?

She wouldn't kill off Remus and Tonx, though. I think it's because she's gone wayway into their (remus') stories. I don't know, though.

Haha, I'm flailing too :P I just posted a poll about it over at my journal. *flails* I'm mostly worried about Harry. I don't *think* that she would kill her baby off, but J.K is surprising sometimes >.<

I wondered about Bill, because of the injuries he had last book... But I'm still wondering as to how she defines 'reprieve' - I mean, a reprieve in her mind, because she was going to kill them off and didn't? Or a reprieve as in they've almost died in the books, but were lucky enough to be saved?

I don't know.

I'd rather she killed Remus AND Tonks than one or the other. However, I am firmly routed in the opinion that she will kill neither. Please don't try and make me change my mind:)

*sniffles at the thought*

I somehow doubt she'd kill both Fred & George or Remus & Tonks (as in both members of either of those pairs). One or the other, maybe. Not both.

One of the deaths will be either Voldemort or Harry; my $$ is on Voldemort. And note that she didn't say *only* two deaths; she confirmed two for certain.

More intriguing to me is the answer to who received the reprieve -- and why!

Maybe Harry Potter and Voldemort?

I think you're right that the characters are connected, but I really think it's the Marauder's era that is going down and I think Remus is the one that got the reprieve. I always thought she was going to kill off all of that generation - Snape, Peter, and Remus at the very end - but I think because she gave Remus Tonks she didn't have the heart to kill him off - or she found something to make him want to live. Idealistic, I know, but then I'm a fluff writer.

We won't mention the sextet - Although I'm worried about Luna since we don't know her birthday. *frets*

I know, I'm freaking out too! I won't be able to stand it if she kills off Remus =(

I have my own theory about Fred and George (see my lj), but even if it doesn't happen, I don't think they'll die.

I'm with everyone else...if she kills off one of Remus and Tonks, she has to kill them both off.

However, Jo was (pleasantly) surprised that we all LOVED R/T, so maybe one of them got the reprieve :)

Fred and George...*sniffle* They make me laugh. We know Voldie's getting the whack!

Er...no one's said it, but Jo said two 'surprising' people. Dare I say...Ron and Hermione. (Please don't flame)

I've had the scary Fred and George thought as well. I'm conviced that at least one Wealsey will die just based on probablility. I hadn't thought about Remus and Tonks. I dunno, but I'm not thinking that. I'm worried about Molly or Arthur.

Not two deaths - two more deaths. In the last chapter. Which she calls a "slight alteration."

People who were complaining about the lack of war in HBP, rejoice. The rest of you, feel free to lose sleep.
