| | |  Who gets 'whacked' in HBP?
The Atlantic Online speculates as to who will die in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and puts forward some odds placed on characters by gamblers. Quote:
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.
Quote:
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.
Quote:
6:4 Rubeus Hagrid. Has Rowling simply run out of alliterative exclamations for this loyal brute, who spews nonsense like "Gallopin' Gorgons!" and "Gulpin' gargoyles!"?

Nope, I dont think its Hagrid. Yeah, I agree with nabiya, that it could be a Weasley who'll snuff it in HBP.  Not Ron though--not yet.

I reckon it's Molly - she's pretty important to Harry and one of the only Weasely's that haven't been attacked so far in the books.

^ To each his/her own I guess, hehe
I hope it's Cho but I think it'll be a Weasley or Lupin... I mean, it's a war, maybe a few of them will bite the dust, eh?.

I agree that it will be someone very close to Harry, maybe Ron or Hagrid, but definitely not Lupin. Lupin can't die!!!!!

I'm thinking Lupin. I don't know why, it's just a hunch.

to be honest i reckon its gonna be tonks, as JK did say that shes going to be making an appearance again, maybe in a body bag? or maybe molly, as she was a prewett so it would make sense for the rest of the family to die?

i dont think cho will die, it doesnt seem that she'll be a real big character in the books anymore so there wouldnt really be a point to it. i cant remember where i read it but i think lupins supposed to have a real big part in book 7...

I hope it isn't a weasley or lupin, I am thinking that it may be a character that you would least expect. | |

Well, I've read in numerous spots online that Harry and Hermione will be Head Boy and Girl in the 7th book, leading me to believe that sadly enough as it is... it will be Ron. Honestly, I hope is isn't him and I think that since Harry spared Wormtail's life in PoA that means Wormtail is in debt to him and Voldemort probably isn't too thrilled about it. So MAYBE Wormtail will die... but all in all we can only speculate about it and no matter how much we belive something we'll just have to wait... HOW NERVE RACKING!

Ive got a feeling it might be Moody or Tonks i mean they are most logical when you think about it. I mean they may have fights with the DE's and there will be casualties, out of all characters the ones in the order are at most risk and especially the Aurors.
