War is upon us. The quintessential battle of Good vs. Evil is at hand. Members of the Order will fight the good fight. Some will prevail. Others will die. This article weighs the chances of each character surviving.
Dumbledore: The only one he ever feared. I believe Dumbledore will survive most, if not all, of Book 6, but in the end he will be killed. Why do I think this? A couple of reasons. Firstly, Dumbledore understands that dying isn't the worst thing that can happen to a wizard. He has said it more than once, and we all know that if JKR repeats something, then it must be important. He may even become more powerful after death, à la Obi Wan Kenobi. Secondly, I believe that Harry will need a sort of catalyst to ultimately defeat Voldemort. We have seen that his heart is truly his strongest weapon. His love for Sirius saved him at the end of Book 5. I believe it will take the loss of someone else close to him to trigger the severe emotional state that will ultimately lead him to destroy Voldemort. And who better than the grandfatherly figure of Dumbledore?
Minerva McGonagall: Not a person you want to have as a foe, Minerva is a very powerful witch. Her loyalty to Dumbledore, the Order and Hogwarts is unwavering. I see her becoming the new Headmistress after Dumbledore's death
Arthur Weasley: Arthur comes across as a gentle, good-natured family man who loves Muggles.

Remus Lupin: Oh dear. I'm afraid our beloved wer
