I thought, for fun (as morbid as that sounds ), we could do a death pool for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I know it's 6 or more months away, but I figured, what the hay, we need to pass the time :P . Besides, if I didn't post it now, I'd forget

Ok, for those of you who don't know, generally a death pool works like this. People say famous/important people they think are going to die in the coming year. Then, at the end of the year, whoever gets the most right wins.

I thought we could do a similar thing for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Everyone can put a list of the people they think will die in the seventh book. This is the best way I can think to score it. If anyone has a better idea, let me know.
+1 point for every character you correctly guess as dying
-1 point for every character you say will die but doesn't
-1 point for every character that dies that you don't guess

In my opinion, extras dying should not count against anyone's score.

As an added challenge, you could put them in the order you think they will die. I'm not sure how to go about scoring this element, but if anyone has any ideas, let me know. Maybe it would be something like a bonus of a few points if your order is correct.
