Well, i'm going down to my local Ottakers with my kids to get it at midnight
, theres lots of games and activities going on.
After seeing the JKR interview on jonathon ross, she has made it clear that there will be a lot of deaths. The whole thing about 2 characters dying, was that they were 2 "extra" victims.
So, I think there will be multiple surprising losses. I can see a lot of the Howarts teachers going, defending something they love, the school.
At least 2 Weaselys, several pupils, a house elf or 2 and maybe 1 of the Dursleys even? Oh and please please do in Umbridge!
She jokingly described it as a "Bloodbath" then rescinded this comment. I reckon it will be heavy on the casualties, just like any nation that is at war.
