This is the Harry Potter thread where one can divulge any information, by reading this thread you run the risk of reading some spoilers about key plotlines of the Harry Potter universe.
Just as a last precaution, in case someone should stumble in here, lets start each reply (if it should contain spoilers) with stating which book we are talking about.
eg
Goblet of Fire.
I am kinda sad that Cedric Diggory has died, but I embrace it because it was something the HP universe needed... someone dying. And it was great!
