Bets placed on Cho dying in HBP
 

The Sun reports that inexplicably, recently lots of people having been placing bets on Harry's ex-girlfriend, Cho Chang, dying in the next novel, Half-Blood Prince.

One of JK's representatives dismissed the rumor as “pure speculation”, he said: “Only JK knows what’s in the book she is currently writing.

“Until it’s finished and edited, no one can be sure what happens.”

Eesh. That's odd.. I'm starting to think it's a likely thing now. Plus she doesn't really do much now, apart from cry... not much use for her.

Yeah, she's fulfiled her character potential...the only thing left to do with her is to give her the chop. Oooh I'm mean....lol...*rubs hands together*

*gaps* If I find that anyone bet on Sirius' dying, I'll kick their bum. lol.

That's interesting news, though... a bit odd how it happened so suddenly. My money's on Lupin, though.

Though I wouldn't bet, my money would be on more than one person. It's a war so just one death would not be realistic. Possibly Hagrid, Ginny, McGonagall or Lupin.

i think lupin will die too, i dont think cho will die, she isnt a major character so i just dont think she will die.

I think Ginny's too much of a main character. She's going to have some significance in the next few books i'll bet. I think maybe she and harry'll get together. Cho, maybe because she does seem like she's done enough in the books, but you know those crazy writers, they like to twist stories until we have absolutely no clue what's going on. (coming from a writer, i know that's true :D) I don't think Lupin will die, he's too much like Sirius, and that'll just basically be a repeat of what happened before...but that's just my opinion :D

This would be a strange choice to me, considering Cedric was her boyfriend when he was killed. I say, not likely! :violin:

I agree with the first three posters ;-)

She doesnt really play any important role (or atleast not in OotP) ...

I agree, but I think Cho will die. I just hope it isn't Lupin. J.K. did say Harry would lose someone special, and losing the first person you ever fell in love with would be very traumatic. Besides, I may think she'll die, but I wouldn't put money on it !!!

jeesus i think i should start these posts on here, seriously that was posted yesterday in THE SUN

i think that this is just a hoax to get us all thinking, personally i think that its going to be hagrid that gets killed off i dont want it to but ive got a feeling...

i dont think that its going to be cho, as even though her part has been played i think that theres going to be an extra bit, c'mon is JK really going to kill off 2 characters that have both been in thier final year at hogwarts... especially since they both were key characters in GoF

thats just my opinion though...

She may die, but I don't really think so.

Since there might be a war and everything I'm thinking Dumbledore? I mean he is the only one that Voldemort is scared of right? So it would be a very interesting twist if suddenly he was to be killed a very interseting twist indeed.:yes:

BUT, it will be sad if anyone dies, I mean Sirius sent me howling:cry:

:violin:

i still wish that Harry goes back with Cho..or rather Cho runs back to Harry.
in my opinion, i dont think its Cho. i heard rumours however that Ron might go... :(

don't hate me or anything. like always, its just rumours.
Reason? : Cedrik's wand is a Unicorn's Tail right? or was it Hair? oh whatever it is, its the same core as Rons...they say Cedricks wand is a wand that represents death, and since Cedrick died..maybe...Ron might too... :(

well thats just stupid, c'mon do u really think that JK would kill off ron?

get real

lol. thats the thing...she's unpredictable.

hahaha...

that's funny.

Well I'm sorry but I cant be on when every single bit of news reaches the websites. If you don't like, don't come here.


It can't get much more obvious than Ron saying "Die, Ron, die" (in relation to the tea leaves - "I couldn't care if they read, die, ron, die.") in the books. He practically predicted his own death. Plus the wand thing, that symbolises death too. So does PS and the chess game. Ron sacrificing himself so Harry can go on and Hermione staying at Ron's side. Symbolism at its best.

Don't be rude to people, they're only putting forward their ideas.

Unless that what she wants everyone to think so that everyone expects him to die then she wham slams you with someone else dying you never would have expected...Ootp anyone. And don't tell me you didn't think for one second Arthur wouldn't possibly die.

Which would make it all the more likely don't you think? You wouldn't expect it, she's a minor character now...I never once thought...which would make it highly likely where's the fun in knowing who's going to die...author's play with reader's like that because they can, and we read them for the same reason, so they can surprise us.

I don't think Lupin will die too much like Sirius someone said, and I totally agree. As for one death, yeah...it's a war more than likely a few will die...and I don't think it would be Draco [he's a villain I'd say there the only safe characters right now] in book seven though all bets are off...every wizard and witch for themselves. Cho's gone...Lupin won't be I don't think. Hagrid would be a good bet, and don't forget Hedwig. The Dursley's are the safest.

I thought for one second but then realised it was not important enough. I reacted alot more alarmingly when Ron's dead body was in Molly's arms. That scared the heck out of me but alas, I see it happening. I didn't see the Arthur thing coming - although I did suspect he'd be at the end of some form of attack, as the Weasleys have been before. I never thought he'd actually die because well, the way it was built up, the attack, it didn't seem to have foundation enough for grounds of murder on JK's part.

yes-yes. its not like i want him to die, its just a possibility that he might go...i think i'll stick to this. if its wrong, then its wrong. :P

Ehh...Truthfully, I wouldn't be too upset if she died...but then, I can't hold a grudge against her for a simple thing like playing with a boy's emotions. I don't really think she'll be dying.

Lmao. 'Bout time too! I mean..aww. Poor Cho. I wonder who will be his next love interest? coughLunacough

eeeu...Luna?? she's...so weird. in a depressed Darla way. she's too laid back. no exitement at all.

You must be joking. She can be really excitable - when Ron made that joke on the train, when she made that wacky hat for the quidditch match, when they were about to take off on the thestrals. She can be very jumpy/excitable. Every character has their quiet moments, she just has a few more than others.

I don't think she's 'ewww' but intriguing and mysterious. I think Harry will think so too in HBP.

Exactly, I mean that was a very special moment they had at the end of OoP and I think Harry really admires her for her openess.

I read somewhere on Muggle net that Ron seems to have a knack of predicting the future. If he jokingly says something will happen, in the next few chapters along it usually does, so maybe it will be Ron. It would be really cruel of JK to do that to Harry though. I don't know about Cho, I don't think she will even feature in the next book. My husband insists that it will be Percy who dies.

hey im not being rude!

if i wanted to be rude i would be...
im just expressiung my opinion like every1 else, and yes JK is very unpredictable but do you think jk could be so cruel and kill off his mum and dad, his godfather and his best mate? seriously i might have to stop reading them if she did that.

lol I agree!!! And after all she just cries for Cedric and thinks about him and tries to make boys fall for her... :P

Cho
 

Cho? To die? Are you crazy?! Cho can't die! She's so nice! Plus, Harry likes her!

Harry doesn't like her. Ron asked about it and Harry said he was over her. their relationship, if you could even call it that, is pretty much over forever.

aww...too bad i hope she dint die though

hm. cho can die, but she wont.
Lupin will die. You know he will. Pettigrew will kill him (the werewolf) with his silver hand...

i hope cho dies.she takes up to much good wright space (if you know want i mean)

although i do feel these bets are mean i kinda have to agree that i think she might be killed off. she's not exactly a main character so i dont think that she's "the" character that will die next, but i dont feel she has any more purpose in the books since harry doesnt like her anymore ..

they should!!

i think i read somewhere that lupin plays a huge role in the last book so i dont think hes gonna die in hbp

well i hope she dies!!! no offense... i dont like the character or the girl who plays her...but its kinda sad how people are actually betting money on it lol i dont want anyone else to die except her!!

I thought that JK would just let her character fade away because she isn't important to Harry, but not kill her off...:poke:

no way!
 

i don't think that going to happen.

I don't like cho. I hope she kicks the bucket :p

Hey! i think that cho might die becuase even though harry has no feelings for her he still cared for her. she wouldnt kill Ron or Gin. they are too important! Lupin could be possibel tho. It would suck though becuase he is Harry's father figure in a sense. i dunno lol... i hope that its no one too important. O i luv Luna! she is one of my favourite charactors and she wont die!

LOL! what funniest! LOL! Well, I guess J.R. is really going to cut Cho off. I mean, I agree with several of those who thinks Cho, who all who does is cry and being a pathetic little trit. So I pretty much agree with those who thinks so. i'm sorry who ever liked Cho as a character, but Cho is kinda getting annoying in book 5. LOL!

But, Sirius was of paramount importance to Harry and she killed him off. The series would be pointless and quite frankly unrealistic (as this is a war) if no-one 'important' died. Tragedy is one of the great aspects about Potter, it's why we all feel for him. War means more than one death - that's realism.

The wand with the unicorns hair was charlie's the one that they passed to Ron in his first yearbut when the flñying car crashed against the womping willow, his wand broke and he got a new one on summer before the third year

Back to the topic, I do hope that it'll be Cho the one who dies, it won't be a significant lost, I actually CRIED when Sirius died I know I won't cry over Cho's death, now if Ron dies..................... I don't know what'll happen to me, Ron is my favourtie male character I loooooooooooooooooove Ron, the same goes for Hermione she's the best girl in the books I absolutly love Hermione! she rox, I wouldn't mind if Hagrid dies either I've never ever stand him, I almost killed myself while reading chapter 23 of the OoTP it was like an agony......... as long as neither Ron or Hermione get killed I don't mind if Voldy eats Harry, besides if JK kills Hermione it'd be like giving Harry a slow dearth cause if it wasn't for her, neither Harry or Ron would have survived their first year

I think (hopefully) cho will die cuz y wud she kill ron that wud be WORSE than sirius becuase ron has been through everything it wud be tragic!! :cry:

Funny!
