Rudolph: Battlegrounds Heavy Spoilers
bigdangmoose:
People are probably going to hate me for this, but I actually didn't cry at her passing. Maybe because I knew it was coming, maybe because it was foreshadowed greatly in Harry's first encounter with Rudolph in the book, or maybe because it was a bit of having her go out on top. But I will admit, Rudolph does have some comeuppance on the way. Death is to good for him.
Dina:
Perhaps Jim goes with the old "It was good that Bilbo did not kill Gollum. It was the right thing and it the end it was for good". So perhaps Rudolph would do something that will end helping Harry or, at least, Chicago.

I think Rudolph is Gollum...
Dina:
Yes, that is what I meant. That JB will took a page of Tolkien, with Harry=Bilbo, Rudolph=Gollum and in the end it will be good for everyone that Rudolph lived that one time (Gollum dies in the end)

That is only because Frodo, in the end was seduced by the power of the Ring. Gollum only bit off his finger to get the Ring that had seduced him many years before, and fell into the lava, while doing his happy little Gollum dance. That ended the Ring and it's power, but there was nothing redeeming about the act in of itself. Had he not been of the very edge of doom, rather than be destroyed with the Ring, Gollum would have been destroyed by Sauron, who then would have ruled everyone. Not sure just what Tolkien was saying there, but then the man had survived the horror of the trenches during WWI, maybe he was saying something one gets lucky and a great evil is destroyed though no fault of our own? :-\
