yeah, but then we all heard it was Hagrid last time. "

IE, i said it was only a rumor.

to which BG replied:

"This was based on a British news report that a worker from the publisher's had stolen 5 pages from the book which detailed Dumbledore's demise:"

So if YOU meant to say, it was only a rumor, what was the point of your reply?

Maybe hes not a jerk, maybe hes just walking around in a fog.

Seems to me you REALIZE you were denying it was just a rumor, but for whatever reason your not comfortable admiting that or apologizing. I dont know why folks have this thing about not apologizing, but they do.

First, I had no what the Hagrid thing was about, since I have never read HP5.

Second, I was only providing where I heard the rumor, not saying it was more than a rumor. Since the article I cited actually says that it's all based on rumor, and nothing in the article is substantiated, I thought it would be pretty obvious to anyone reading it that this was the case.

My hunch is you didn't even bother to read the article closely at first, you just saw the link to the bbc and assumed something definitive was there and decided to lash out about it. So no, I don't feel the need to apologize for your inability to read carefully and for making assumptions about what I was saying.

The Dumbledore rumor also came with a rumor about the HBP's identity. I'm not gonna put spoiler tags, because it's a rumor, not real book information. There was also the rumor that Dean Thomas was the HBP, but that's just stupid, which makes me doubt the Dumbledore rumor.

I'm calling that Lupin dies in Six, and Pettigrew dies in Seven, such that all of the Marauders are gone.

If it can make you feel better, journalism is crap in the UK. If it ain't reported by the BBC, it's probably a lie aimes at boosting sales

Yes. I'm surprised the poll didn't have him. I think it is likely that he'll get involved with the Death Eaters, but in the end, he won't betray the Order and he'll be killed. But he'll turn out alright in the end.

I've read the leaked version, and I think I have to tell you:

spoiler(highlight to read): Harry dies. The rest of book 6 (and presumably a chunk of book 7) is about Dumbledore, Ron and Hermione trying to bring him back to life

He is under 'random' characters .

I think he'll flirt with the Dark Wizards. His position will make him symphathetic and then I think when he's about to do something ultra evil (like kill Ron), he'll come to his senses and realize what he's become.

Of course. He'll come to his senses too late, though, and he shall die.
