I will not create my own customized link page to the crazy by trawling through F-W to boggle at the links to the scary people. That would be wrong.

Wrong.

Even if it's entertaining.

Very. Very. Entertaining.

ETA: SPOILERS IN COMMENTS. YES, FOR THE BOOK. THE DH ONE.

Thanks! And no worries about butting in (at least from my end).

So that's where I got the "loved" (not beloved) part of my recollection, but it wasn't said by JKR, it was said by the interviewer. Interesting. Again, this asks the question, who is loved and who isn't? I know several people who hated Tonks, completely and absolutely, but most of the people I know at least liked Remus.

As you can tell, I have a feeling those two were Remus and Tonks, but that's just a guess. And as to a reprieve, I'm guessing Hagrid. What do you think?

And I'm so glad she didn't kill Harry off. I don't think she could have, not in the context of a Good versus Evil story, set in a children's book. I don't think she gives much thought about us adult fans (in terms of mourning the characters, going through the grieving process, etc), but I bet she does care about the kids, and for them to see Harry die and not survive would have been too much.

It also makes you wonder: "loved" by whom, by Rowling or by the readers? Because Rowling is on record as not really liking Snape or Draco, but we all know how worshipped they are in certain segments of Harry Potter fandom. Personally I think it's Remus and Tonks who got the axe, because their deaths were offpage so to speak and therefore an "easy" addition to make. As for the one who got the reprieve, it can be almost anyone who was in any real danger during the battle and that is... everyone. If I had to guess, I'd say Draco.

I never thought she'd kill Harry either, not because it's a children's book (people die in children's books), but because it's a Rowling book and she's always played it fairly safe. Well, I guess that means Dan Radcliffe didn't get his wish for a dramatic death scene, poor lad. *g*
