I also am not sure how one can actively dislike Hagrid. I know different strokes and all, but I just don't see what qualities could merit hatred? I mean, sure, neutral or not particularly fond of, but active dislike? Don't get it.

But that being said, him dying probably would've been more effective. I hated the seventh book. One of the more main characters should've died, and then she wouldn't have felt obligated to kill off loads of minor characters. Ron would've made an excellent character death, but Hagrid would've been okay, too.

Hermione would have been a great death... and unexpected...

Yeah but at a certain point it's just too much IMO

I feel this way about all of the big three fwiw. They're just too central to the story to die without hideously unbalancing it.

The other person who you couldn't get away with killing is Luma, because she's Luna

Not Ron! I was sad enough about Fred, but I dunno if I could've handled Ron dying in canon. I probably could've handled Hagrid.

ayrt

I mean, it would've been really sad, Ron's one of my favorite characters. But I pictured Ron in a big sacrifice scene to save everyone else - mirroring the chess game from the first book - and finally getting to be the big hero. It would've also been more effective because it would've really hit the audience. Personally, all the other deaths were relatively minor, so I didn't think they were that meaningful beyond the "aw. sad." but maybe that's just me?

I think that would have really sucked. It would have just made him seem like the second-rate disposable one.

I was pretty upset when Hedwig, Dobby and Fred died. Kinda figured Lupin would die, but I wasn't too happy about. I was surprised at Tonks dying and a bit mad about Teddy being an orphan. I hated all the student deaths especially Colin. I can't remember what teachers died besides Snape. I didn't hate that Snape died, I only hated that "loved you mum" bullshit. Ruined Snape's character and made shit creepier in retrospect.

I don't think killing Ron would've been a great idea, but I do like the balancing/foreshadow-y sacrificial aspect.

I was so angry that both Lupin AND Tonks had to die :|

And yeah, I also wish we'd gotten a bit more motivation from Snape beyond him loving Lily.
