The one thing i am so mad at J.K Rolling about is Killing Fred off. I understand that it was a war and they weren’t supposed to live happily ever after, but i could imagine how lost and empty George would have felt after losing his brother. He would have to run the business all by himself, and it’s just not the same without Fred. George will also never be able to conjur a patronus after the loss of his brother because all his happy memories were spent with Fred.

As JKR would say, she didnt kill him, Voldemort did. If you are not willing to lose anything, if you are not willing to risk anything, then stay in your house and hide. When Voldemort takes over the ministry and Death Eaters are able to walk freely in the streets and kill muggles at will… Accept it. Give up. If you are too afraid that your friends may die that you are unwilling to fight for them then the enemy has already won.

But Fred was willing to fight for you. He died a hero. He went out by taking risks and being bad ass. He died the way he lived, laughing.
