I'm quite disappointed by this announcement (not because of the deaths) but I don't believe authors should divulge details of forthcoming novels to "whip" up a marketing frenzy.

I'm sure other authors are guilty of this kind of behaviour too but I don't like it.
I suppose you have to blame the fans for hounding the author into making these announcements in some circumstances however.

I would have bet that Harry would have survived but JK Rowlings admission that she wants to "make sure" no-one is able to write more Harry Potter books is kind of ominious for Harry.
