January 5, 200520 yr The new year brings the promise of a new best seller, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, due to arrive on bookshelves soon. Along with Muggles and magic, this installment features a morbid resolution: Harry's creator, J. K. Rowling, kills off another character. The Internet is abuzz with Potter fans' worried speculation about who will be sent to that great Sorting Hat in the sky. One suspects, though, that for weary parents of those rosy-cheeked millions who demand the latest book or movie and the Potter-themed underwear available on eBay, this plot twist is not entirely unwelcome. Perhaps it is they who are flocking, as if spellbound, to the British betting site BlueSquare.com, which is offering odds on who will die. So where should your Galleon gold go? Early action favored Hagrid, Harry's bushy-bearded half-giant pal, though Harry's love interest, Cho Chang, is also the object of heavy betting. Here is the latest action on which Harry Potter character will die. —John Sellers6:4 Rubeus Hagrid. Has Rowling simply run out of alliterative exclamations for this loyal brute, who spews nonsense like "Gallopin' Gorgons!" and "Gulpin' gargoyles!"?
January 5, 200520 yr It's gonna be Ron's Dad (For some reason I can't place his name ) I bet, He almost died once already.
January 5, 200520 yr Arthur is his name and that's a possibility.There's even talk of Ron being killed next. That's if you follow the unicorn theory.
January 5, 200520 yr well isnt there supposed to be a climatic show down between harry and voldemort in the 7th book? what if she kills of dumbledore in the sixth book? that would suck but in a weird way it makes sense to me
January 5, 200520 yr You should read this Neo..http://www.knight2king.net/Knight2King/wea...yisourking.html
January 5, 200520 yr well...i knew something would happen to dumbledore....but that still means he will get killed off and it will be a reoccuring storyline...that would also mean that there will only be 7 books....kind of like the matrix
January 5, 200520 yr Well Rowling has already said she's stopping at 7 books so that was known when the theory was made.
January 5, 200520 yr actually i read the whole thing....im currently exercising and then i have to go to home depot...when i come back we will talk about this
January 15, 200520 yr They're cutting out a lot of stuff that's not needed. I'm not sure of what exactly, but I doubt they'll make it longer than 2 hours. If they do, I'll be shocked.
January 15, 200520 yr It's gon' be good, as long as they keep with the main story line. When they cut things from the movies, it doesn't bother me too much unless it's something major.
January 15, 200520 yr yea remember the second one they cut something out that a really wanted to see, it made me mad <_<
