She obviously likes a heap of dead people in the end. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Harry Potter originally was supposed to be a children's book. Now it's becoming yet another tragic novel.

Oh! WOW!!!! News!!! The final chapter for book 7 has changed slightly - two more people have died than she originally planned and one other person has got a reprieve
What??? more deaths? No! Why? I hope it's not Ron, or Harry or Ginny, or Hermione... I hope it's not Draco or Snape either... one of them will be given the reprieve I believe. It's interesting that she hasn't planed those deaths. I'm sooo exited now!!! I cannot wait for book 7! I need more news.... please?

The interview was really good, It went on fr quite a long time. I think i'm more excited about the next book than the film, and i think if anything watching the interview has just made me more nervous due to hearing about characters dieing e.t.c.

"Jessica, her daughter, is often pestered at school for upcoming book titles, plot details, etc."
That's so so cruel. Her daughter probably doesn't know anyway.
"The final chapter for book 7 has changed slightly - two more people have died than she originally planned and one other person has got a reprieve"
:O I wonder who they are!?

Oh NO!!!! Not more deaths! Why???
I've been toying with the idea that Harry will die... (PLEASE JKR DON'T KILL HIM!!!!) But the thing Jo said about killing him off to prevent other authors writing spin-offs makes sense. Fanfiction has gotten completely out of controll!
As for the Harry/Ron debate, I like Harry better, but Ron is a very very close second!
^o^

Sad day when I find out HP news on my husband's radio station before I hear it here only because I haven't had time to visit HPANA. Graduate school is getting in the way of my HP obession!
Wow! I figured there would be more deaths but I wonder if it's down to just one more, who? I truly hope it isn't Harry too. No one wants a hero to die. But then I also see JKR's point about him not coming back in future books. HOWEVER! Someone out there could always "soap opera" his character. (Harry wasn't dead all those years. He simply was lost with amnesia.) Oh how I pray not!
This is killing me! I can't wait until the book is released! I've never been one to go get the book at midnight until now. I know I'm going to have to be there and I won't sleep until I have read it!

Oh, my God! Now I'm going to be agonising over the deaths for what, like a year or more!
Please don't let it be Harry, Hermione, Ron, any other Weasleys (well Persey would be ok), Hagrid..... oh never mind, I can't list them all. Just kill L.V. ok?

I think it would be great to kill Harry off. I mean what better person is there to sacrifice themelves to save everyone else. I think it will be Harry and Snape. I mean so many people buy these fake Harry Potter Books, if it is not endorsed by Jo i don't buy it! Besides we will always have the series if Harry does die!

Oh it makes me feel sick to the stomach to think that more deaths are immenent.
Well, we can assume that Lord Mouldyshorts is one of them (or alternately, Harry), but then who are the other two? Hopefully not one of the trio..........

I'm so excited! I love the information about book 7 - it sounds like she's well into it. Sounds like a lot of characters are going to die if 2 more than she originally planned have already died.
I understand why she would be willing to kill off Harry so no one else could write additional books, but gggrrrr- I hope that if she does kill him it is for a deeper purpose than that.

OK. So 2 people die. I think that either Ron or Hermione is going to die. I don't want them to, but I think they will. I personally think its Hermione. Maybe someone in the DA or the Order will die.

I can't wait to read book 7. I really don't think any of the kids will die. Maybe Mr. or Mrs. Weasley. The older boys? Hagrid maybe? Who knows we'll just have to wait and see.
