Divination of Harry Potter Number Seven

Odd. I'd just been thinking about posting my meandering thoughts regarding Harry Potato in the last few days, and J.K. comes out and tells the world that she's killed two characters.

J.K. Rowling to Kill Two in Final 'Potter' Book - The Deadbolt : With the news that two Harry Potter characters will die, fans are sure to be frantic over the identity of the two victims.

This of course is malicious understatement. And I will not hesitate here to use my crystal ball. Please note, however, that I am of the same opinion as those who believe that Divination is one of the fuzzier of the magical arts. Dead Number One: Neville Longbottom. I have absolutely no evidence of Neville's demise, of course, but I'm working with my gut here, thinking Neville will die in an attempt to avenge his parents. And in the mean time, he will lose his life and add something to the effort to kill Voldemort. My son, however, who is eight, was also first to latch on to Mr. Longbottom. I'm afraid he stinks of the tragic hero. Or the guy in the war movie who shows all his mates the picture of his girlfriend back at home approximately thirty frames before his bunker is shelled. Dead Number Two: Hagrid. It simply does not pay to be a father-figure for Mr. Potter, and Hagrid's death would continue in this tradition. I have a feeling I could easily be wrong on this one, but Hagrid is so lovable that he seems untouchable. Which makes him the perfect victim. Other possibilities: Percy Weasley. Mr. Weasley. Dobby. I'm ruling out the three main characters, Ron, Hermione, and Harry, and probably Ginny too, because killing any of those characters would simply be insipid fan-bating, and I don't mind saying it. As much as Ms. Rowling might end up saying that she didn't have a choice but to kill characters, etc., she's the author and has whatever choice she pleases. She could make Snape Harry's real father, for instance. Or bring Dumbledore back to live (though I'm pretty sure he's dead... but that's another post... and a rather long one I may or may not make later). You realize, of course, that this revelation is just to get you talking about HP again. To get you back into the story. And Ms. Rowling is one of the most savvy authors in the world. Just you wait. There will be more to come. And by the time 7 is set to hit the shelves, readers will be frothing to get their hands on it. Finally, here are a few titles for Ms. Rowling, in case she hasn't decided just yet:

1. Harry Potter and the Dark Lord in Vegas
2. Harry Potter and the Monster at the End of This Book
3. Harry Potter and the Horcrux of Mary Magdalene
4. The Lost Gospel of Harry Potter
5. Harry Potter and A Little More than Snogging, Thank You
6. Harry Potter and the Comb and the Brush and the Bowl Full of Mush
7. Harry Potter and the World's Worst Dog

Blessings all.
