Not seeing their deaths made it worse for me... struck home how death can happen even when you're not watching for it. Fred's death, on the other hand, was straight out of any WWII battle movie: happy-go-lucky character dies dramatically just as he's being happy-go-lucky.

Well, then the next people to die have to be the black guy, the guy from Brooklyn (played by William Bendix) and the blind, French girl . . .

Well, I propose Lupin for the role of the black guy, and Tonks for the role of the guy from Brooklyn. Lupin was the token outsider, fighting the good fight for a society he wasn't really comfortable in, and Tonks' accent ("Wotcher, Harry!") can stand in as the British equivalent of Brooklynese.

I have no idea who took the role of the blind French girl, though. Fleur survived, and I don't know who else would fit... unless I'm just stretching the metaphor too far! :-P
