No, not Neville!!! :)

I think your right on not killing Harry. My thoughts center more around the fact that this is a series of stories for children. JKR is a mom. And as true as she is to her characters, I have a hard time seeing her bring kids through seven years of Hogwarts and then killing the main character they all want to be. I mean, what child would want to read the story after that? What parent wants to try and explain that to her child (yes, I'm namely talking ME!)? I do think a Weasley will perish. And I love your reasoning behind Molly living. Harry does need a mum. We all do!

I know :-( I expected to hear from you on that. Sadly I think Susan (and Justin) will die as well, but as they are not main characters in cannon so I didn't mention them.

I agree with your reasoning as well. How would you even begin to explain that Harry died to a child?

Here's hoping that Harry gets his happy ending.

Oh, it would break my heart to loose Susan and Justin, too! For those of use who have embraced the minor characters and made them ours it's going to be tough to let go. We'll obviously have to form a support group!

I know...writing the character for 7 months I have become quite attached to her. I can't imagine what it'll be like after another year :-(

I'm all for the group. What do we want to call it?

The Authors of Our Days Might Be Numbered Characters Association? That would make us the AoODMbNCA. Hmm...might have to shorten that...

Sweet! lol - just had the thought that you know, we simply pretend we don't die but then that would sort of make us Inferi, wouldn't it?
