Harry Potter hints
I know I haven't written a non-Lost post in a while, so I thought I'd move to something more substantial: Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling recently dropped some hints on the seventh book, saying that two characters may die. I don't find this all that surprising, though I feel like killing Voldemort and Harry would be sort of predictable.
It's a lot more than two, but I'll stick with this prediction I put on Rachel's blog a while back:

...major casualties continue to escalate through the books (a minor character in Cedric to a suddenly major character in the Godfather to a fully major character in Dubmledore). I think [the seventh book] gonna be worse than any of us can imagine. Something like Malfoy kills Ron, Hermoine kills Malfoy, Voldermorte kills Hermoine, Harry kills Voldermorte.

I was, needless to say, very upset when I read that. I really believed she wouldn't touch Harry -- I almost think it would be predictable to do that, and therefore something she would stay away from.
I also think Malfoy (Draco, that is, not Lucius) might surprise us by turning to the good side in the end -- not that he and Harry would ever be best buddies, but I think the sixth book showed that Malfoy isn't necessarily prepared to follow in his father's Death Eater footsteps.
But not one major character but TWO? Either there'll be one mother of a death scene near the end, or there'll be one red herring death out of the way very early followed by a big shocker at the end -- like the way it seemed like Mr. Weasley was going to die in the fifth book, only it actually turned out to be Sirius in the end. If that's the case, I think it would be someone like Neville, Luna or even Professor McGonagall early on and one of the more major characters at the end.
But I still don't know how I feel about that.
