Rowling reveals details of character deaths
Author JK Rowling has revealed that two characters will die in the last instalment in the 'Harry Potter' series, hinting that Harry Potter may be one of the characters to be killed off.
In an interview on 'Richard and Judy', the author said: "I have never been tempted to kill him off before the final because I've always planned seven books, and I want to finish on seven books."
"I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks 'well I'm gonna kill them off because that means there can be no non-author written sequels'," she said.
"So it will end with me and after I'm dead and gone they won't be able to bring back the character'."
Rowling said in the interview that the last book was not finished yet. "I'm well into it now. I wrote the final chapter in something like 1990, so I've known exactly how the series is going to end," she said.
"The final chapter is hidden away although it's now changed very slightly. One character got a reprieve. But I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die," Rowling said.
