For now, I believe the most likely character to have gotten a reprieve is Hermione. This is the character most based on herself. What other character would be most likely to get the reaction from her husband? Certainly, he could have other favorites, but it may be more maddening to wait now that we know there have been changes.

It is always great to get some information on Book 7. I am glad to see it.
However, I have a comment on the following quote from "The snitchseeker.com":
She’s never been tempted to kill Harry off before book 7 – however she can understand the mentality behind killing a main character so no-one else can write sequels.
JKR may kill off Harry, although I hope she doesn't. However, she can't get rid of him. Other people or fanfic will write future stories about Harry Potter.
Both Conan Doyle(Sherlock Holmes), and Agatha Christie (Poirot), tried to kill off their heroes and were unsuccessful.
JKR may have created Harry, but, like a Mother, she can not control his total future and destiny.

After hearing the JKR interview, many people have said, "oh no, two more deaths!" Remember that she said that there were two additional deaths that she hadn't planned on. There may be also more coming that were planned in advance. So there may be several characters who die in the final battle.

Wow, whenever I hear about deaths, I automatically think of good characters that die. It could be those on the dark side or non-pivatal characters. I can not wait to read and find out. It really has to come out next year.

Oh man, at last!! Something from JKR to carry us on...
She has regretted writing some parts where she may have boxed herself in, earlier in the series
I wondered if that would be a problem for her. I'm sure that she won't disapoint us though. She's so clever.

Finally she speaks! Usually she only tells fans who will die and the title of the next book. Oh well, more excitement for those who were waiting for this but, for those who wanted a title, well they will just have wait a little bit longer I am sorry to say. Don't worry though it will come soon! : )

Oh No!!! Two more people are going to die and she made passing reference to Harry too!!! Well book seven must be well on the way now, JKR doesn't usually make references unless the novel is well formed/shaped, so that's a bonus at least. I like the part about her ex-boyfriend/fight laying down the ground rules for Quidditch!

Wow, this is interesting news. But it should be noted that even if she kills Harry off it won't necessarily prevent other authors from writing sequels; look at Sherlock Holmes.

Wow JK originally wrote the final chapter all the way back in 1990? That was before I was born! But of course, she's changed it. And I definitely want to read the other books she's written in her spare time (and book 7, of course).

OH, NO!! Two MORE deaths? That's horrible! But there is always the possibility of them being dark people. If that is the case then thats good. But who is getting the reprieve? I hope its not Snape. I hope he dies. Whether he meant it or not, he still killed Dumbledore. That deserves the death sentence. *shrinks away from crazy Snape lovers*
I hope she doesn't kill Harry! If she does I will never read the 7th book again no matter how tempting it is. I'll probably burn it. Or not.
