Trailing Tonks? Hmmm, wonder what that'd be about---either way it'll be awesome.
And laikomgyey for David Thewlis. Now Natalia Tena shall have to come back for Tonks.

^It is kinda funny that they will show more of Tonks on the DVD, when in the movie they didn't. I can't wait to buy it
I'm so happy about David coming back to play Remus. I read somewhere that Natalia will also coming back.

++++SPOILERS, BEWARE++++
Highlight to read.
First of all. Reading HP 7 has left me clinically depressed. Thank you, JKR.
You've torn open my chest, ripped out my heart, sauteed it in a skillet, thrown it on the floor, stomped on it with cleats, and left it on your windowsill for stray ravens and crows to pick at.
Always a great way to end your series with your fans. Really, it is.
</sarcasm>
DH started out brilliantly, we get to hear it from Voldemort himself that Tonks had married Lupin. HOW AWESOME IS THAT? Later we hear about the wedding from Tonks and Lupin themselves, however small the mention was. Tonks was happy, Lupin was being a martyr. All was well.
Later, after the showdown at Bill and Fleur's wedding, Lupin shows up at Grimmauld Place to bribe the kids into letting him go with them on their journey, their mission. He explains that he and Tonks are not arguing or having trouble with the relationship, the problem is: She's pregnant. [LE GASP] He continues to reason with them about going with them. Harry doesn't bite, says, "Go home to your family. You should be ashamed of yourself. Btw, stop being a martyr, it gets old three books in."
When Lupin told them she was going to have a baby, I jumped up from my in front of my living room coffee table where I sat and read, and danced around in my living screaming and yelling and receiving funny looks from my brother.
The next time I jumped up and squealed my head off was in the middle of the <i>Potterwatch</i> newscast on the radio as Ron mentions, "Did I tell you? I found out from Bill that Lupin's living with Tonks again. She's gotten quite big actually." Not exact quote, I'm trying to extract the memory in between the moments of me jumping around my living room.
I love the image of PREGNANT!Tonks. It's just... too cute.
The next unexpected Remus/Tonks moment is when Remus bursts into the Shell Cottage and proclaims, "IT'S A BOY, WE'VE NAMED HIM TED AFTER TONKS' FATHER AND I'LL HAVE PICTURES NEXT TIME BUT I'M JUST WAY TOO EXCITED AND I KNOW YOU ONLY SAID TO COME TO YOU IN AN EMERGENCY BUT THIS IS MY MID-LIFE CRISIS, SO SEE YA."
Awesome.
Next moment, Remus shows around the baby picture of Teddy Lupin. SO CUTE. And it's so comically done in between the reunion of Percy and the Weasley family. I think that possibly is the only time Rowling has used Lupin for humor.
Lupin goes and leads off the group to fight. Tonks comes to the Room of Requirement and rushes off to help Lupin---however she asks Aberforth if he's seen him, and Aberforth tells her that he last saw Lupin fighting Dolohov but Harry and his group ran into Dean Thomas and Parvati fighting Dolohov---- my first gut feeling, right there. I was distraught, because there's a 80% chance JKR had a reason for re-using Dolohov.
Lupin was dead, and most likely, Tonks was too.
So it was in no surprise that when the Hogwartians gathered all their dead and injured their was Lupin and Tonks lying peacefully next to Fred.
I bawled. It was so unfair, it was so cruel. How could JKR do it?
I had a feeling though that Lupin and Tonks were the ones that JKR said she killed off two main characters she didn't mean to.
Why Lupin, particularly? Out of all the people who so deserved to LIVE.
My only consolation was that they left a piece of themselves in this world under the image of Teddy Lupin and that they died together, because they could not live apart.
Lesson learned: DO NOT NAME PEOPLE GODFATHER, you doom yourself.
Teddy Lupin: THE NEXT NEVILLE LONGBOTTOM with multi-colored hair.
[goes off to her corner and sobs]
Well said Kit. I'm truly glad I am not the only one who feels like finding the tallest building and jumping off it... although I'm guessing you are past this point now.... 
*sighs*
Read DH last night... fairly heartbroken I am... they shouldn't have gone that way... it's too similar to James and Lily.. but no doubt JK wanted that effect.
Can I join please?_________________

You are welcome with open arms, my darling.
It's all too depressing really, and yes I've passed the point and now onto denying that they've ever died at all and drowning myself in AU fanfiction. [thumbs up]

Thank you.
Aye, indeed. Yay to fanfiction and the wonders of the imagination!
Seriously though, I couldn't believe it. When the first mention of their bodies next to Fred I thought "nah, can't be" and then later when it was mentioned again.... [part number 67 when I found myself sobbing]... it was terrible.... I'm convinced it was so we had another Lily/James thing going on, although this time we know their son will not be brought up like Harry. Still, that doesn't help very much. I can almost imagine Remus looking over at Tonks duelling, he "beats" his attacker, makes his way over to Tonka, his attacker springs forward and kills him, Tonks see this, goes towards him, and is killed herself. I am completely in denial of most of the "too many" deaths in HP. All I can say is, I'm glad I'm not a 10 year old, new to this series. I would have been crying even harder than I was.

I was wonder whether or not a ten year would have the same emotional attachment to these characters as we do, as we spend loads of time observing and contemplating on every action of every character, of every description and role. Would a ten year old really be thinking those things?

Hmm... well I'm not sure. I think if you like a character, and that character dies, you're bound to be unhappy or upset however old you are. My first reaction when I realised they were dead.. was just that... they were dead and I was never going to hear about them again. I had liked Remus since POA, and although I wasn't sure about the whole Tonks/Remus thing, it just... worked... and the fact that you knew she wanted to be with Remus and he was being noble, but finally gave in and they had a child... made it all even worse... and I think anyone can appreciate the unfairness of all that. And the fact that finally, after all these years, Remus had the chance to be truly happy.
I was pretty late to HP, when I first read PS/SS GOF was out in paperback, and the OOTP was not too far away. So I'm just thinking about the 10-13 year olds, who haven't had to wait years inbetween books, but can read them all one after the other without the wait... and they form attacthments, yet they haven't grown with the books, so they aren't 18 year olds coping with characters dying all over the place. It was bad enough for me!

I think it's also the fan interaction though that makes us attached even more so to the characters because taking it as face-value, these are characters, they did this, they did that---it doesn't draw you in unless you can share your point of view with other fans and discuss and hypothesize, because we as older fans, we've followed this series to the very end, we've developed a deeper attachment than a 12-13 year old who've just picked up the series and finished it within a year. I think time plays a huge part in all it, how much time you spend on Harry Potter.

That is also true, but I suppose it will really depend on the individual, and how he or she reacts.
It's still so unfair though. *pouts*
I read they were the two characters that she hadn't wanted to kill... yet ended up doing so... as my mum says, she is the author so if she didn't really want to kill them off, she didn't have to. Their deaths did not add anything to the story, it wasn't like Remus threw himself in front of Harry to stop him being killed, so Harry could go and kill Voldemort.

Yeah  . I heard in an interview that she really wanted to have another story like Harry's, you know, losing both parents..
