Kids Think Harry Potter Will Die

Lots of kids have become convinced Harry Potter won't survive his final adventure after author JK Rowling said she was killing off two characters.

JK made the announcement on a TV show on Monday, and it's sparked discussion on the Newsround message boards.

The most popular choice is the ultimate baddie Lord Voldemort, but Harry is close behind him in second.

On the boards, regular user Remus Lupin said: "If Harry does die it'll be taking down Voldemort with him!"

But Harry and the Dark Lord weren't the only choices. Hyperactiveginnyfan said: "Maybe the Weasley twins or Fleur and Bill. I hope Ron and Hermione and Harry don't die, else JK won't be able to do a special charity book in a few years!"

And Suzie Q said: "Pettigrew HAS to die sometime! He owes Harry his life!"

On Channel Four's Richard and Judy Show, JK said "One character got a reprieve, but I have to say that two die that I didn't intend to die."

Some people have pointed out that this means we still don't know how many characters will die, just that JK changed her mind about the fates of three people.
