You can watch the shocking statement on video below. What do you think – should she have killed him?

Below is a transcript in case the video is pulled:

Rowling: Funnily enough, I planned from the start that none of them would die. Then midway through, which I think was a reflection that I wasn’t in a very happy place, I started thinking I might punish one of them off. [Laughter] Out of sheer spite. There! Radcliffe: Midway through the book or midway through the series? Rowling: Series. Yeah. In my absolute heart of hearts of hearts – although I did seriously consider Ron. Anyway, I can tell you it’s a real relief to talk about it. Radcliffe: It must be lovely actually. Rowling: It’s lovely.
