It's Sirius. Whew! I was so worried it'd be someone I cared about! I actually grinned when I saw this. (Poor Chia will be upset.) I'm sort of sorry I know now, but I'm glad I don't have to worry.


Likely any comments will be spoilers as well, so you will probably want to avoid them, too.

Well, THAT'S weird. Because I just got iron-clad, from-the-book's-mouth information that it was someone else entirely!

Whooooo?

This is from Yahoo news (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=499&e=14&u=/ap/harry_potter_review):

And there's another death — a surprising one that will undoubtedly be difficult for Harry to bear.

So it fits for ours, but it would work for others as well...

Huh! I was told this is from a photocopy of the death-scene page. Who did you hear it was?

Hagrid. But I have no photocopy evidence- just secondhand information. I'd rather believe my friend-of-a-friend, because I've grown rather fond of Sirius (it's all FabulaRasa's fault). But there are so many rumors out there (I heard several about Mrs. Weasley being the victim, too!) that you just know that someone (or, rather, many someones) are having fun with us.

Hagrid was who I had figured it was all along, and I would *think* JKR would be more inclined to cry over his death...
