JK Rowling has hidden a lot of clues in OotP that tell
us who is going to die before they actually die! However, it takes a cunning
eye to spot them...
On page 60 of the American edition of OotP just as they enter 12 Grimmauld Place,
it says "The other's hushed voices were giving Harry an odd feeling
of foreboding; it was as though they had just entered the house of a dying
man."
On Harry's first night at Grimmauld Place, the entire house
sits down to dinner. In total, 13 of them eat together. According to
Trelawney in PoA, when 13 people dine together, the first one to rise is
the first to die. No prizes for guessing who rises first here:
"Sirius started to rise from his chair." NOTE: This is arguable
as Ginny is not sitting at the table at the time, but she may be counted
as "being" in the room and eating with the others, thus it can
still count as foreshadowing.
Sirius' house is 12, Grimmauld place. The Grim is a sign
that death is coming. -Thanks Kristin
When Fred and George were levitating dinner onto the table at 12 Grimmauld Place,
they lost control of one of the knives. It dropped and embedded itself
into the table right very near Sirius. This could be foreshadowing Sirius'
death.
On page 462 of the UK
version, it says "Harry had an unpleasant constricted sensation in
his chest; he did not want to say goodbye to Sirius. He had a bad feeling
about this parting; he didn't know when they would next see each
other." This speaks for itself; the part about them never seeing each
other again was true in the end.
A lot of people say that Sirius' animagus form (big, black, shaggy
dog) is uncannily similar to the Grim and so his death was coming from
when we first met him in PoA.
In chapter 9, Sirius says, "It's a matter of time before
Voldemort moves into the open; once he does, the whole ministry's going to
be begging us to forgive them. And I'm not sure I'll be accepting their
apology." Why? Because he's dead by then. -Thanks LizzyBeth.
In Book 1, Chapter 15, when Hagrid, Harry and Hermione run into
the Centaurs, Ronan makes the pronouncement "Always the innocent are
the first victims." Everyone thought Sirius was guilty, but he turned
out to be innocent.
On page 477 of the American edition of OotP, Sirius says
"This is how it is-- this is why you're not in the Order-- you don't
understand -- there are things worth dying for!"
In St. Mungo's, when they are going to visit Mr. Weasley- 'They
climbed a flight of stairs and entered the "Creature-Induced
Injuries" corridor, where the second door on the right bore the words
'DANGEROUS' DAI LLEWELLYN WARD: SERIOUS BITES.' If you put these words on
a sign, they would read
Creature-Induced Injuries
Dangerous
Dai Llewellyn Ward
Serious Bites
Take the first word of each of these and what do you get get? Creature
Dangerous Dai Serious? No - Kreacher dangerous, Die Sirius...
In the American book, the first page shows the book title and an
illustration. There is a picture of Sirius' animagus form leaving 12
Grimmauld place. It shows that Sirius would be leaving something; in this
case, it was life. -Thanks Elz P
Page 20 of the UK
edition: "the darkness pressed on his eyes like a weightless
veil." This looks like foreshadowing to me! -Thanks Adam
Sirius calls Harry, Ron and Hermione to call him
"Snuffles." To snuff it means to die, foreshadowing the death of
Sirius.
On page 741 of the american version, about in the middle of the
page, Kreacher says, "Master will no come back from the Department of
Mysteries!" he said gleefully. "Kreacher and his Mistress are
alone again!" He meant this literally. -Thanks Jess
On p.75 of the US
version, Molly Weasley says: "The meeting's over, you can come down
and have dinner now, everyone's dying to see you, Harry." This
is very unlikely to be a death clue, but I thought I'd mention it all the
same. -Thanks Sila
