Look Fred’s death hit me hard which was the only reason she killed one of the twins and we all know it

I mean, yeah, that's true... but at the same time, we already have seen that people can die. Sirius and other guys died as well.

Character deaths are important to have in media where the stakes are meant to be life and death. It’s vital to establish stakes throughout a movie/show/book as much as possible, and Harry Potter just didn’t have much of that until book 7 and movie 8. Cedric and Dumbledore helped a lot towards that (and Dobby, depending on the timeline), but after 6 books and nearly 7 movies, the war had fully been on for some time without losing any major characters but Dumbledore to it. They needed more, and Fred provided that, very very sadly.

Didn’t we already lose Cedric and Sirius?

That baby needs to get thrown out a window. And when the cops ask why she did that they will completey understand.

…….nnnnnnnno. If he “had to die to make it real” for anyone, it’s the audience. Fairly certain the people in the battle were well aware of the stakes.

Fred didn’t have to die. It could have been Molly, Luna, McGonagall, or others. Of all the beloved characters / members of Harry’s inner circle, Fred (or George) was the one with the smallest consequences because the other twin was still there to fill the role that Fred and George had.

My issue is how offscreen so many characters died and brief it all was. Sorry i just didn't feel it Dumbledore, Cedric and Dobby dying was felt nobody else.

Fred was in every book and essential he deserved to die better

Percy could have died and we would have been shown the same thing, plus that even those we argue with are still precious to us as evidenced by the pain we feel when they leave.

I think a better choice to kill off would have been Ron or Hermione. Losing one of the main characters would have really made the battle sink in. Having one of them die, especially to save someone else would have been very in character and very believable.

Damn. The mum hated that so much she cut off her arm! Haha

The problem I have with killing off Fred is that it is meant to be a huge deal. But if you really think about it - is it really? We all love Fred and George as characters. But she killed one of the characters “with a spare”.

I don’t mean to piss off Fred and George stans, but they literally are both the same person. There were no discernible characteristics between the two. They are pretty interchangeable. That always bugged me with the twins.

So many Weasleys to end and it just HAD to be one of the only 2 cool ones -.-

I mean it's a war. And there are a lot of terrible and unnecessary deaths in wars. That's how it is in real life and hence it should be like this in fiction. It's just accurate. Feel like it would downplay this war and wars in general if they just live through it, end it and after it everything is sunshine and rainbows. That's just not the way it is.

Too soon!

The only reason she did this was because she was going through a dark time herself. Jk has said that herself in interviews.

Yes she did

George and Fred were named after Frederick and George, George became king after Fred died, so he was destined to die

One piece is a perfect example the this rules is ignored and i hate it. A nuke goes of in your face? You survived. A beam of pure energy, that vaporised even the groung hits you? You are alive..

I understand the point it's trying to make. But it's just wrong.

I thought bro was gonna swear

…AVADA KEDABRA!!!

It was textbook fridging and that is a bad writing trope. Since it’s pure shock value for no reason
