First, the early info of the death of a major character in The Order of the Phoenix, book five of the Harry Potter series. Now, Potter history repeats itself.
“Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling said Friday that one of her characters will not survive the next book in her series about the young wizard.
Asked on her official Web site whether she planned to kill off any more characters, Rowling replied, “Yes, sorry.” But she refused to identify that character.
The sixth book in the series, “Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince,” is due to be published next year.
Early prediction: not Harry, Ron or Hermione. Hagrid is safe, for now. Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall better be careful. Severus Snape is also playing a dangerous game.
