Welcome to Mockingjay.net, the most visited source on the web dedicated to the Hunger Games! We were founded in July of 2009, before the title of the third book had been announced. We're here to have fun with other Hunger Games fans with discussion, contests, the Jabberjays podcast, and an up to date news blog that covers anything related to the books or the upcoming film that is being made by Lionsgate.

idk if suzanne collins wants a happy ending or a sad ending, cuz if she wanted sad ending she could just kill prim off. but gosh, that wud stink if prim died, like katniss volunteered for her and then it was all for nothing….but i think even if katniss knew prim would die, she would still volunteer! sry for the long response! |
| by Sasha in July 07 - 4:28 am |
I don’t think Suzanne Collins would do that. That’s way to far out there! But if she plans on doing that then there will be more action, thrill & excitement |
| by Katie in July 07 - 4:29 am |
I have to say… no. Suzanne alluded to important character deaths, but I feel, in the grand scheme of things, Prim wasn’t exactly the main character’s demise to whom she was referring. Besides, when’s Prim going to be in a life-threatening situation? Katniss won’t let her anywhere near a battlefield. |
| by kutufutu in July 07 - 4:38 am |
I agree with Rani… |
| by rani265 in July 07 - 4:49 am |
yeh i really hope prim lives!! shes cute |
| by Mackenzie in July 07 - 6:25 am |
I agree with KUTUFUTU for agreeing w/ Rani! |
| by Sean in July 07 - 6:47 am |
No, because I say so! |
| by Vittoria in July 07 - 7:19 am |
I think while nobody would agree or like the idea of Prim dying, it could happen. I mean everyone seems to think Haymitch or Peeta or Gale will die, so why not kill someone as unexpected as Prim? |
| by Blaze in July 07 - 8:11 am |
It is possible, but I certainly hope not… D: Take… um… Peeta instead! |
| by Blaze in July 07 - 8:11 am |
*runs away before all the Peeta lovers attack* |
| by Jessica H. in July 07 - 8:24 am |
I think it depends a lot on whether the book is going to be a happy story or a sad one. and as the people above said, Prim is the whole reason Kaitness even went to the hunger games and while it turned into so much more than just saving Prim I still think that saving Prim is her number 1 priority no matter what. |
| by gale in July 07 - 8:36 am |
I do not think that prim will die |
| by Elizabeth in July 07 - 9:06 am |
That would be an intresting twist but so sad. I think if that happens then katniss would go into a depression and all her efforts were for nothing. I Dout that’s what suzzann wants to do. I hope not!!! |
| by PizzaDog in July 07 - 9:23 am |
I really doubt Prim will die. Katniss would just be so devastated, I don’t know how she would live through it. And Prim seems to be blossoming right now, killing her off would be such a waste. I think Katniss’s mother will probably die though. |
| by ghostbunnieseatcheese in July 07 - 9:25 am |
I know that Prim is the whole reason for what Katniss has been through, but the capital would want to kill those reasons and make Katniss suffer as much as possible. As much as I would hate it for Prim to die, people in the book would want her to die. |
| by Prim in July 07 - 9:38 am |
What r u talking about I’m not going to DIE! |
| by Mut in July 07 - 10:10 am |
what if katniss dies… that would be unexpected. and its possible since the book uses present verbs not past |
| by Reanna in July 07 - 10:13 am |
that would be devistating but it doesnt seeem like it would do much action-wise. i think peeta is gonna die. i really dont want him to but i think its gonna happen. because she got in the first hunger games to save prim but in the next one her main goal was to protect peeta. so if either prim or peeta dies it will still be irony but i really think peetas gonna die. |
| by Brook in July 07 - 10:23 am |
I don’t think that Prim will die because though that is one of Katniss biggest fears it wouldn’t really make since to have her die because that isn’t Katniss main foucus at the time |
| by Kate Lynn in July 07 - 10:36 am |
I think that Prim won’t die. I think that the Capitol is going to hold someone hostage to force Katniss to go to them, but it won’t be Prim. I think it will be either Gale or Peeta, and one of the two will end up dying |
| by Zil in July 07 - 11:11 am |
To be honest i don’t think Suzanne would kill prim in Mockingjay because Katniss is so close to Prim that if anything happend to her i think Katniss’s whole world would just end, and she would just go into depretion mode like her mother did when her father died. I mean very thing that Katniss has done so fare in the two books was all for Prim and if she gets killed it will all be for nothing. P.S. |
| by Zil in July 07 - 11:13 am |

| by Claire in July 07 - 11:23 am |
i really dont think that prim will die. theyre going to district 13, where they are safe from the capitol. and its not like anybody in district 13 would kill prim. i think that prim is safe from the capitol now, but gale, katniss, and peeta are still in danger. but whatever happens in the third book, it will hurt katniss, but she will get over it. |
| by Cecil in July 07 - 12:00 pm |
I highly doubt Suzanne would do that. Prim means everything to katniss. In the Hunger Games Katniss says at the beginning that Prim is the only one that she is truely sure she loves. I predict that someone else major (other than prim) will die. Haymitch will obviously die sacraficing himself (the old wise mentor always dies). In other discussions I predicted Katniss’s father to still be alive. If he is it is possible he would give his life for her’s. Gale could die leading the rebellion or Peeta could die as a captive. I believe that is most of the main characters that could die. Either way I’m sure Mockinghay will have an extrememly exciting, and dramatic plot from begininng to finish! |
| by teampeeta4eva in July 07 - 12:07 pm |
ok i dont think that Prim will die but instead i think president snow will hold her captive and threaten to kill her then Katniss (or maybe Haymitchor Gale) will save her but die doing so. Also if Prim did die that would suck cause Katniss went into the games to save her! |
| by Abe in July 07 - 12:08 pm |
Whoa, whoa, whoa… it’s Wednesday? I thought it was Tuesday. Wait… it is Wednesday! Wow. LOL! Anyway! It’s certainly possible for Prim to die but I really doubt it. How would she die? It’s not like she’s gonna be in the frontlines of battle. Katniss would protect her and everything. Like I’ve heard a bajillion times, Suzanne Collins doesn’t just put something in a book for no reason and Prim dying doesn’t make sense. Why would she die? There would be no point. |
| by President Snow in July 07 - 12:08 pm |
Well, some has to die *evil laugh* |
| by mckinzi in July 07 - 12:24 pm |
i dont think suzanne will write that prim dies because katniss is so close to prim and she went through so much to keep her alive this long… i would b clinically depressed is she died… |
| by mckinzi in July 07 - 12:25 pm |
^^*if she died not is she died haha |
| by Gab in July 07 - 12:27 pm |
Despite how ironic that would be, I think the only way Prim could die would be for Katniss to be dead first. As in, the Capitol would literally have to pry Primrose from Katniss’ cold, dead hands if they wanted to kill Prim. |
| by asel15 in July 07 - 12:53 pm |
I definatly agree with Gab, after everything that Katniss has gone through to keep Prim alive, i doubt she would let her die now with out a fight. |
| by Taluthia in July 07 - 1:12 pm |
Well, I must say the Blaze has a sense of humor. Gab, that has made my day. |
| by Peetas_biggest_fangirl in July 07 - 1:39 pm |
I agree with Katie up on top….Suzanne did say that she wasn’t afraid to kill off main characters, but I don’t think that Prim is a big enough character to kill off! We really don’t see a lot of Prim in the books. And besides. like most people are saying, there’s no way she could really die! Katniss is not going to let her anywhere near the war that is sure to happen in Mockingjay, and Prim dying would just make Katniss really depressed and she might not follow through with her Mockingjay duties. But then again, I do agree with Taluthia…..if Suzanne is going to kill Prim, it will probably be near the end, maybe Pres. Snow will order her death when he figures out that he will not win the Rebellion. Who knows? We have no clue what Mrs. Collins will do, so let’s just sit back and wait for Mockingjay to come out (even though that kills me!!!! I can’t wait much longer!) |
| by Lauren in July 07 - 1:40 pm |
Oh, that would be so sad! But I don’t think it will happen because if it did Katniss would be too depressed to keep herself alive. |
| by hungerGAMEs in July 07 - 1:42 pm |
I think I could happen because The Capitol knows that Katniss’s one weakness is her loved ones especially Primrose Everdeen since she volunteered for her…but then again in Catching Fire, when the jabberjays were imitating Prim’s screams and Peeta was trying to calm Katniss down, Johanna mentions that the Capitol would never kill Prim cuz that would clearly cause a rebellion but I think since we already are on the brink of a war, The Capitol can clearly kill anyone to get back the control they had so they might as well at least threaten Katniss with Prim’s life.. |
| by person in July 07 - 1:46 pm |
i agree with hunger games completely so i will not repeat what he/she said. |
| by majorgaleet in July 07 - 1:47 pm |
I don’t think she will die since Katniss has done so much for her, but if she did die, I’d assume that it would make Katniss extremely mad and do something that she may not have done otherwise. Which could end up with horrific results (including the death(s) of 1 or more) |
| by Jmockingjay in July 07 - 1:50 pm |
I think that she will. I think Rue’s death foreshadows Prim’s death, because Katniss is always saying how much Rue reminds her of Prim. And since Prim is “the only person I’m sure I love” it would make sense for the Capitol to target her. And then I think it will fuel her anger against the capitol for the final duel. Who knows? maybe she’ll end up living with Rue’s family at the end or something. Anyway, basically, I’m saying that while I really hope she doesn’t, I think Prim will die. |
| by Billis in July 07 - 1:51 pm |
Well I wouldn’t put it completely past Suzanne to kill of a (how old is she again?) young child, I mean that was proved with Rue. She doesn’t write fluffy pieces where nobody dies, she gets that in a situation like that, yeah, not everyone is going to walk away with their heads. That being said, though, I still don’t think Prim will die. I just don’t see a point in killing her. Rue had to die because only one person could live (or two) and it showed how ruthless the Capitol and the President was. Currently, I don’t see a position where it would be necessary to kill Prim. I feel like it would hurt Katniss to much for her to be the strong person she needs to be to stage the rebellion. |
| by Team Peeta in July 07 - 2:02 pm |
i haven’t even thought of this but it would definitely be interesting |
| by foxface in July 07 - 2:06 pm |
I really hope that Prim lives, because Katniss volenteered to save her, and then Prim would die because of the rebellion Katniss started. |
| by E in July 07 - 2:09 pm |
I think it’s a bit too much. I mean, then it would kind of all being “for nothing”. You know what I mean? |
| by Hannah in July 07 - 2:13 pm |
I’m honestly keeping an open mind for MockingJay. But if I had to say yes or no, I would probably go with no. Rue had to die because there could only be 1 victor (at the time) and Katniss wouldn’t have been able to kill Rue, so Suzanne Collins had to have someone kill her. I don’t see why they would kill Prim. The citizens of the Capitol would be furious if they killed an innocent little girl. I think its possible that Prim gets captured or nearly dies, but actually die? I don’t think Suzanne will do that. It’s not because she wouldn’t (she killed Rue, did she not?), but because it doesn’t make sense to. I can, however, see the Capitol using Prim to hurt Katniss and to possibly TRY to threaten her into surrender using Prim. But then again, Prim’s death would bring a huge surprise to MockingJay, and could also be a great opportunity for Katniss to improve her emotional strength (staying strong through the death of the one she loves most). I can’t wait for it to come out!! |
| by Jade in July 07 - 2:17 pm |
It would be sad, but possible. It would definitely hurt Katniss though, but Katniss is strong. If Prim did die, then Katniss would probably be really upset at first, but it would probably make her want to kill Snow even more she would be even more determined. |
| by Jade in July 07 - 2:19 pm |
Sorry for the horrible grammar above….. haha. I just woke up….. |
| by Hannah in July 07 - 2:24 pm |
people I think are possible deaths in MockingJay: Haymitch (i love him but I think he’ll die), Mrs. Everdeen, Madge? (she’s kinda minor, but she might die), Gale or Peeta (neither would be nice but that would certainly be dramatic if one of them dies! I don’t think BOTH of them will die), Cinna (I REALLY hope not, but he wasn’t looking so good after he got beat up in CF), President Snow (heehee I sure hope so!), or perhaps even Katniss (though this is unlikely, its possible). Prim has a chance of dying also, but I think the others I mentioned are stronger possibilities. |
| by Rose in July 07 - 2:27 pm |
Well it is a possibility to consider. What with all these twists turns and surprises Suzanne Collins has thrown at us in THG and CF who knows what’s in store for us in Mockingjay. |
| by Sam in July 07 - 2:38 pm |
ok, look. i don’t think anyone could be that evil. not suzanne collins. maybe prim could be capured and katniss has to decide on who she will save. peeta or prim. but i don’t think prim will die. |
| by Anonymous in July 07 - 2:44 pm |
BLAZE, I would burn all of the hunger games books if Peeta died, I love him. He is one of the many reasons i love these books so much. |
| by Lesley in July 07 - 3:15 pm |
Crumbs, I don’t see it. At the moment I’m seeing Cinna being executed on live TV and then threatening to do the same to Peeta to smoke Katniss out. I think I’ll be devestated by whoever dies, I love all the characters1 |
| by Blaze in July 07 - 3:22 pm |
Hey, don’t burn them! Just give ‘em to me! Peeta’s ok, but I don’t like how he forced Katniss to love (or at least look like she loved) him to get any sponsers because of his little declaration of love. I see how it helped her, but it also put her in a tight spot. |
| by Blaze in July 07 - 3:24 pm |
And I seriously hope Cinna isn’t dead/doesn’t die. I love that guy. I also hope Finnick doesn’t die. I’m in love with him. *goes all fangirl on Finnick* |
| by netters in July 07 - 3:39 pm |
That would be funny in a horrible way i don’t think suzanne would do that Prim’s just…I just can’t imagine it.I actually think Peeta might die I hope not but just seems like he might |
| by Nikki in July 07 - 3:42 pm |
@BLAZE you better keep on running… Yep, Finnick is awesome. Anyways…back to the Question. Well I think Prim will die. I’m sorry but once I heard this question I felt a pang in my chest and I’ll take that as a yes. Either that, or Prim will be in major danger (HA! THAT RHYMES) in THE HUNGER GAMES TRILOGY: MOCKINGJAY. What I think is that she’ll be bait for Katniss. And btw Katniss can’t protect Prim, because Katniss isn’t with Prim when THE HUNGER GAMES TRILOGY: CATCHING FIRE ended. And we don’t know where Prim is, she might be in District 13 but we might not even know if District 13 exists. So conclusion: I think Prim will die. I know….. I’m horrible. |
| by Blaze in July 07 - 3:44 pm |
And to Zil, who is wondering why we think either Gale or Peeta will die: It is because Katniss is so wishy-washy about who she wants to be with that only by one of them dying could she make a decision. |
| by Darksunset in July 07 - 3:45 pm |
I don’t think so, I hope not. Hopefully Peeta will die.. I hate him. Rar. |
| by Blaze in July 07 - 3:46 pm |
@NIKKI *sticks out tongue* Go Gale! |
| by TEAM GALE!!!!!!!!!!!! in July 07 - 3:46 pm |
no, i dont think that prim will die. I do think that one of the guys (peeta) will die, so that katniss doesnt have to chose between the two. |
| by Cat Lady in July 07 - 3:47 pm |
Gee I sure hope not! prim is such the sweetest little girl! :’( That would be so sad. |
| by Blaze in July 07 - 3:47 pm |
WHOOHOO! (@darksunset) Well, actually, I don’t /hate/ him. |
| by Cinna in July 07 - 4:05 pm |
I do not think that Prim will die or be held hostage either by the Capitol because they all ready have Peeta to bargain for. But I do think others will die though through out the book. P.S. |
| by NicJorgi in July 07 - 4:18 pm |
Ummm…That would be very dramatic, but it would make the whole series (and I hate to say this) almost pointless. Like there’s no reason that Katniss ever needed to be in the Hunger Games. Don’t think I’m hating on the books, i love them. I’m just saying that it would be a bad turn on the plot. |
| by Chasta in July 07 - 4:21 pm |
I don’t think she will kill off Prim b/c that wld go against the whole book! Everything that’s happend in this book kinda revolves around prim, so if she is gone then the whole plot of the books is ruined |
| by Ella in July 07 - 4:26 pm |
If Prim does die I think that would make Katniss stronger like Jade said above. It would make Katniss want revenge but I don’t see how she could die (because Katniss most likely won’t lat her out of her sight) or why (how would Prim dying help the Capitol). But it is a possibilty. A suckish possibility. |
| by TEAMPEETA4LIF in July 07 - 4:38 pm |
If Prim dies, I’ll be shocked. Prim isnt really involved as much as some other people in the rebellion, and I can’t see her in the battle field anytime soon. If the person who dies is in Katniss’ family, I think it would be her mom. It’s the only death that would be bittersweet, because, IF Katniss’ dad really DID die, atleast they’d be together. I’m still guessing that it’s going to be either Haymitch or Gale, and I’m not saying that because I’m Team Peeta, Gale just seemes like a character who’d die a hero. |
| by Amanda in July 07 - 4:54 pm |
That would be awful, but I could see that as a possibility. After all, Life is never fair, and just because you make a deal with It doesn’t mean It’ll honor it. If it were to happen, I would see it as being very symbolic of the human condition–how we fight and fight, yet we might never win. I hope that she doesn’t, but, like I said, it’s not completely impossible or random either. |
| by rachel in July 07 - 5:03 pm |
if Prim dies,i swear i will freak out, chuck mockingjay out the window and cry myself to sleep. it would make sense for prez snow to do that as a final act against Katniss, for he knows that that would kill Katniss in the inside and destroy her. however , no matter how dramatic that would be, because suzanne collins has a heart and is an amazingly talented author, i think and hope it is a no. also, as it has been said before, it would make the entire series pointless cuz katniss basically said in THG that’ i love Prim so much that i will die a horrible death for her because that’s what i think will happen. But that’s ok because Prim would be safe.’ i guess we’ll just have to wait to see what happens!!! |
| by Gab in July 07 - 5:04 pm |
I’m agreeing with Hannah here, about keeping an open mind for The Mockingjay. Some of us, who like to be spoiled, already know how The Mockingjay starts, so we know it’s not gonna be a peppy, cheery book. Well, which book HAS been a peppy, cheery book? |
| by Gab in July 07 - 5:07 pm |
Oh, wait, Hannah… |
| by Andy in July 07 - 5:08 pm |
I don’t think Prim would die, but it would make things very interesting. I’m kinda tired of the good guys winning in every case. I personally want everything to work out but lets face it if this were a real situation then most likely everyone would be killed……just saying. |
| by team peeta all the way in July 07 - 5:24 pm |
I THINK THEYRE ALL GOING 2 DIE AND THE WORLD WILL END!!!!! jkjkjk idk… i think that the irony of it would b pretty funny… |
| by Sara in July 07 - 5:36 pm |
I think the irony would be pretty good, but I really don’t want Prim to die. Well, I don’t want Katniss to go through that must pain- I don’t really adore Prim… not that I hate her. She’s just another character to me. Honestly, from Catching Fire I had already though Prim was close to death. |
| by Thisperson in July 07 - 5:47 pm |
I wouldn’t say prim isn’t going to die, because we real do not know at this point. I think it there is a high chance she will die though. Like someone said before (sorry I don’t know who) it would make katniss angry, add fuel to flames if you will. And to all the people who say she won’t die because katniss won’t let her into the battle, it doesn’t matter if she is on the battle field or not. The capital can still grab her no matter where she is. They can still grab her. Now that I think about it, it seems more and more likely that they will. I mean they already have peeta but prim would break her completely. |
| by BlackRoseOpal in July 07 - 6:31 pm |
It’s unlikely, but if she did die, Katniss would probably be even more determined to defeat the Capitol, to kill off President Snow. |
| by joey in July 07 - 8:58 pm |
That would surely be an evil twist of fate. But in so many dystopian society books, there is always a catch. Always a sacrifice. Great question, btw… |
| by team peeta all the way in July 07 - 9:13 pm |
well in the 1 other serious collins wrote, it had a pretty said ending, and joeys right most dystopian society books, theres some twist… im really not sure tho… |
| by Blaze in July 07 - 9:31 pm |
“You’re not going to die. I forbid it. Okay?” (or me to Prim, whatever works) |
| by Gab in July 07 - 9:42 pm |
Blaze, |
| by TheShadowOfTheStatue in July 07 - 10:39 pm |
Prim?! D-D-D-DIE? Well, if Prim dies, so will a happy ending for Katniss. It’s as simple as that. Prim’s death would make Katniss weaker in my opinion. Sure she may seem stronger. She may want more revenge. She may be more focused (although that would be a miracle if she were MORE focused). But IMO, that is a weakness rather than a strength. My only wish is that in Mockingjay, Katniss will learn how to live rather than just survive. I don’t care if she picks Team Gale, Team Peeta, Team Finnick, or Team Prim’s Goat (although JK Rowling already went there with Aberforth). I want Katniss to actually have something to enjoy and enjoy it and if Prim dies, I don’t see that happening. |
| by Lily in July 07 - 11:23 pm |
First, I actually spat my water out when I read your post, TheShadowOfTheStatue. That’s histerical. (sorry, i cannot spell) |
| by Lily in July 07 - 11:28 pm |
I’m sorry to be posting twice, but what do you think of this? |
| by Blaze in July 08 - 7:58 am |
@Lily She is growing up so it is possible that she actually /does/ something . . . |
| by Emm in July 08 - 10:44 am |
i think it might be possible, but probably not since, she is the reason why Katniss went into the hunger games in the first place. even though i’m team peeta, i think he might die, bc in catching fire, they ask each other their favorite colors. Katniss says green, and Peeta says orange. I heard somewhere that green means life or to live and orange means death or to die. or gale with die, either way, it will have Katniss distraught and vulnerable, with is what the capitol wants. |
| by dietributevonpanem in July 08 - 10:51 am |
I think that something like that will happen. Like Prim will get kidnapped. Or Gale will get horribly hurt. |
| by Blaze in July 08 - 10:57 am |
Gale was hurt at the end of CF, all burnt and stuff. :/ |
| by Prim in July 08 - 11:43 am |
Hey!! Im not gunna die okay? so shut it yall! |
| by AP in July 08 - 2:40 pm |
Blaze you failure. PEETA FTW! |
| by rianna in July 08 - 4:24 pm |
if Prim dies, so does katniss, and then suzanne wont have a good story anymore because the main character will be crying for the rest of her life. so i doubt it, but im preparing myself for the worst in mockingjay. |
| by Blaze in July 08 - 4:24 pm |
Failure? I think not. Peeta is the failure. |
| by rr56 in July 08 - 6:23 pm |
this is about pirm right now so everyone should stop arguing about team peeta and team gale and honestly every one in THG and CF has an equal chance of dyeing in mockingjay so we should just wait for mockingjay to come out |
| by Rose in July 08 - 7:53 pm |
Sooo a major realization just practically hit me! What if at some point in the book it was a life and death matter and Katniss just had to choose Peeta or Gale for! It’s a possibility and that would be epic and intense! I could see it as a sort of conclusion to the love triangle. I think that might actually happen and now I have to admit I am getting the chills. |
| by rianna in July 09 - 1:18 am |
@ Rose as for the Prim thing, |
| by Thirteen in July 09 - 7:21 am |
I would LOL if she died. Thanks for ANOTHER bad ending suzanne collins! |
| by Blaze in July 09 - 7:47 am |
@ Rose Eeek. Scary thought… Ew. Like, whoever she didn’t choose would die. Honestly, that would haunt her for the rest of her life. Like she said in THG, she’d never actually get out of it. She’d keep trying to think her way out even after it was over. Just ew. |
| by Blaze in July 09 - 7:50 am |
Oh, and it wasn’t ‘ew’, I hate your idea. It’s very plausible and thought-provoking. @ Rianna If Peeta, Gale, and Katniss died… that would be so darn stupid. I’d burn the book. Even though I promised myself I wouldn’t. I don’t even have words to describe how angry that would make me. Just kill off all the main characters, why don’t ya? Urgh. |
| by Hanky in July 09 - 9:49 am |
oh YEAH even though I still think some smaller unexpected person will die maybe Prim won’t. In THG and CF they portray her as a little girl whose just scared and can’t defend herself but she was pretty much raised by Katniss and we all know what she’s like so maybe she’ll come out and we get to see the real Prim because right now no one knows what she’s really like and I highly doubt that she’s the scared little girl everyone thinks she is and to whether it’s a sad book or a happy book it’s about a war, it’s not going to end up happy, Katniss will have to comprimise, whether it be having to chose to save Peeta or Gale or having Prim die someone important will die. It’s like The Deathly Hallows, people die, there is pain, but it ends up all right at the end doesn’t it? So it’s not going to be a Fairy tale ending but Katniss is going to have to deal with it won’t she…. not to sound sadistic or anything… I just did a book report on this… it was epic in the making and I got an A… I feel accomplished |
| by Hanky in July 09 - 9:53 am |
so in the making I bet either Rory, Vick, Posy, Madge, or Prim will die, yeah but anyways one of them will and either Peeta or Gale will die, I’m sorry if that sounds sadistic but the idealist situation would be that one of them finds someone else, though that’s probably not gonna happen You know how about they release the book early so we can all just read it and start shouting “I TOLD you so” at everyone already… what is it… 45ish days… AGGGGONY!!!! but yeah… I’m gonna be crying like the whole time… I’m stocking up on tissues. |

Well, I said before that Rue’s death forshadows Prim’s death, and I still say that. I know people have said that Rue had to die, but think about it. Everyone thought Peeta would have to die, and he didn’t. so something like that could have happened with Rue. And also, SC chose the character of Rue, and chose her to be so much like Prim. So yes, the district 11 tribute had to die, but it didn’t have to be Rue, the character that she is. Does that make sense? What if, since Rue was killed by District 1 in the games, Prim was killed by someone from District 1. Cuz it said, most of the districts are in full-scale rebellion, which makes me think that some of the districts, probably 1, 2, and 4, aren’t rebelling. But i would cry sooooo much!!! |
| by Jmockingjay in July 09 - 11:52 am |
And also to the people that say the capitol loves prim: well, the capitol loved cinna too, didn’t they? They were crazy over his designs. But that didn’t stop them from taking him and killing? him. hopefully not. Besides, the capitol kills innocent kids every day. I don’t the prez snow would be bothered by that much. The capitol citizens would proabably be in terror anyway about the rebellion and by that point would not care if some little girl died. but i would. |
| by Jmockingjay in July 09 - 11:53 am |
oh and i meant hopefully not killing cinna, not that the capitol would kill him!! |

Reading these comments is making me sad. I don’t want anyone to die. I must say that I don’t think that any of us will really know what will happen till we read the book….but it is likely that someone will die. |
| by Sharkie in July 09 - 4:22 pm |
Nah… Suzanne Collins is not that cruel! |
| by Sharkie in July 09 - 4:25 pm |
I hate it when they die |
| by Sharkie in July 09 - 4:26 pm |
Just cut the suspense already and publish the book, publisher people! |
| by Sharkie in July 09 - 4:42 pm |
Collins wouldn’t do that ‘cuz everyone would hate her |
| by Jaybird in July 09 - 4:55 pm |
Prim dyinng isn’t a good thought….but its plausible. SOMEONE has to die, but we are all expecting Gale or Peeta or Haymitch. Imagine what would happen to Katnis if one of the only people she loves dies? She would be furious- and it would convince her that she should fight in the revolution as hard as she can to avenge Prim. |
| by Leslie in July 09 - 5:01 pm |
@HANNAH (who said this: “people I think are possible deaths in MockingJay: Haymitch (i love him but I think he’ll die), Mrs. Everdeen, Madge? (she’s kinda minor, but she might die), Gale or Peeta (neither would be nice but that would certainly be dramatic if one of them dies! I don’t think BOTH of them will die), Cinna (I REALLY hope not, but he wasn’t looking so good after he got beat up in CF), President Snow (heehee I sure hope so!), or perhaps even Katniss (though this is unlikely, its possible). Prim has a chance of dying also, but I think the others I mentioned are stronger possibilities.” Well, I think you just named every other character than Gale in that list:-D Collins can’t kill them all! Except if she decides that Snow’ll win, and they’ll all be destroyed:-D |
| by District 11 & 12 in July 09 - 8:18 pm |
@LESLIE SC wouldn’t make Snow win. She would be hated by a bunch of people. I hate to say this, but yes I think Prim can die. Even though it would be awful and heartbreaking for Katniss she would know that Prim would want her to keep fighting and win the war. In the case of Peeta or Gale dying I’d say both will die. Peeta by the hands of the Capital to crush Katniss and Gale by fighting in the war. I am personally Team Peeta, but Gale is ok and I could see Katniss with either of them. |
| by Kaelin in July 09 - 8:23 pm |
I think either Prim or Gale would die, because there has to be something huge to make Katniss really really mad. We all know that she wants to kill Snow, but I think something huge would have to happen. Haymitch might die, but I don’t think it will have as much emotional effect on Katniss. And there’s no freaking way that Susan Collins would kill off Peeta, because and of the fans would be so pissed off. |
| by Prim E in July 09 - 8:23 pm |
it would be so sad if that happened i love Prim. but this is NOT a happt series. i am almost positive that either Haymitch, Gale of Prim will die.(most likely Gale or Haymitch) now i love all 3 of these characters and it would be tragic if one does die but like i said these are not happy books. i feel as though Mockingjay garentees a major death. i have to say, while i am obsessed with Suzanne Collins,(she’s amazing) i feel kind of sorry for her. she has so much pressure on her about mockingjay. like with the whole Peeta vs Gale situation if katniss ends uf with Peeta then she is going to have a lot of disapointed Gale fans. but to be honest, i really really hope she chooses Peeta. (sorry Gale) butalso it renforces my Gale is going to die idea. |

| by Meh. in July 10 - 1:12 am |
@THEBREEZE. Yes yes she is. Try to look up The Underland Chronicles, the ending really sucked. |
| by Meh. in July 10 - 1:14 am |
And it’s still by Suzanne Collins. I hope she doesnt mess Mockinjay too |
| by jake anderson in July 10 - 10:01 am |
idk i just hope the hunger games r over forever an a day and no i dont think that prim will die. but i want to know if lady prims goat is still there becuz like catnis got it for her and it is there olny suport |
| by Aaralynn in July 10 - 4:06 pm |
Obviously someone is going to die. It would suck if someone didn’t die, because then she would become another Stephenie Meyer (who always has to have a happy ending, yuck), and I would be forever disappointed. Honestly, I think Peeta, Gale, or Prim will die. Maybe Haymitch. She can’t really kill off Katniss because it’s in her point of view, so I definitely think someone close to her will be killed as a substitute. I think that everyone saying “Oh she can’t kill off that character, because I would hate her forever and burn all her books” are overreacting. Let the author do what she wants. Burning books is awful as it is, and it certainly won’t bring back a fictional character from the dead. And honestly, after reading all of these posts, people have listed some many of the characters that “can’t die” that there’s no one left. And they can’t all live, not in a full-scale rebellion. Sure, if you don’t like the outcome of Mockingjay, you don’t have to support the series. But burning it? That’s a little dramatic and rude considering all the time Suzanne Collins put into the series, don’t you think? |
| by Prim E in July 10 - 5:51 pm |
ya i read the underland cronicles (wich i loved) but the ending really did suck. but these books are way bigger so hopefully they will end well. |
| by Finnick in July 11 - 11:02 am |
As long as my Annie doesn’t die, I’m okay. And speaking as a part of the Mockingjay rebellion, if Prim dies, Katniss, our mockingjay, will crash down. |
| by Katniss Hawthorne in July 11 - 11:43 pm |
It is a huge possiblity and would very tragic and sudden but it is a very slim chance of happening because then it would kind of ruin any other happiness of the story since her dad and rue already died then prim are we trying to kill Katniss by trying to break her down with each death |
| by hunger games lover in July 12 - 5:08 pm |
like everyone has said, prim can’t die cuz she’s the reason katniss went in2 the HG n the first place. but that’s why prim should die. she was saved by katniss in HG, so prim might die to save katniss so she can save all of panem. that’s what prim would want, she’d rather die than be the reason Panem is still controlled by the capitol. and gale will be the one to die, sorry. peeta’s too big of a character and him and katniss r really getting along better. and katniss is realizing that she actually loves peeta and that it’s not all for show. |
| by Kelly in July 14 - 3:10 pm |
That’s a very intriguing idea. It’ll be like “Handle With Care” by Jodie Picoult. I hope Prim dies! 8D |

How dare you kill off my little sister! I will personally attend to Suzanne Collins if she hurts my baby sis. Way to be sadistic, guys. |

Better her than me, right sweetheart? |
| by Effie Trinket in July 20 - 5:59 pm |
Haymitch Abernathy! How dare you be so rude! What he means, Katniss dear, is that, while he hopes Prim won’t die he hopes he won’t die either. As we all do. At least for the Prim part. |
| by Katniss Everdeen in July 20 - 6:00 pm |
I would rather have all of us die than her! |
| by President Snow in July 20 - 6:01 pm |
That can be arranged. |
| by Peeta Mellark in July 20 - 6:17 pm |
I volunteer to kill Prim if it means saving Katniss |
| by Prim Everdeen in July 20 - 6:17 pm |
Hey! What? |
| by Gale Hawthorne in July 20 - 6:18 pm |
I volunteer to kill Peeta if it means getting Katniss. |
| by Katniss Everdeen in July 20 - 6:19 pm |
I volunteer to kill both of you if it means saving my sanity. |
| by Effie Trinket in July 20 - 6:20 pm |
Katniss! Now, imagine what that would do to your reputation! |
| by Mrs. Everdeen in July 20 - 6:23 pm |
All of you! OUt of my house! |

All of you, SHUT UP AND LET ME WRITE! |
| by janae in July 27 - 5:57 pm |
what the heck are you people crazy of course prim is not going to die if does i will be so sad but what can i do its not my book but it would be an amazing book either way |
| by Rue in August 24 - 5:11 pm |
Ahhhh! Don’t kill Prim! Prim is the sweetest little thing and my fav character, other than Rue, of cours. Then again, it hurts me to say this, Prim is of no use to the battle that’s surely coming. What woul she do, distract the Capitol? Really though, she wouldn’t do much. But that wouldn’t mean it’s all for nothing, would it? Katniss would still hace the boy with the bread! I really don’t want her to die, but I think she will. |
| by LoveRueNPrim! in August 25 - 2:01 am |
I looooove prim and i was sooo sad when i found out she is dead! =( i wish u didnt kill her suzanne… it really upset me and ruined the book for me…. u still r a great writer tho!!! Prims goat and buttercup were probably very sad too |
| by LoveRueNPrim! in August 25 - 2:02 am |
cryin myself to sleep =’( |
| by AcIrenie in August 26 - 7:26 pm |
How Could you? how could you kill Prim in that explosion! How dare you! I cried because you killed her , Finnick, Madge, Peeta’s Family, AND Cinna! I know its a sad story but NOT Prim . It makes no sense how come she was there? and who did drop those parachutes? |
| by AcIrenie in August 26 - 7:28 pm |
And Yes Suzanne does kill prim! |
| by Kimmy in August 27 - 5:26 am |
By the time Prim died she had killed off so many characters I was starting to lose interest. Not the best writing technique I’ve seen executed. |
| by PrimLuv in August 28 - 10:20 am |
Aww, I saw this coming |
| by mad at ppl in August 29 - 5:03 pm |
all of you shut up!!! SC said not to give any spoilers!!! and now i know stuff i didnt wanna before i read the book. so thanx a lot!!! |
| by Menap in September 07 - 8:05 pm |
And the irony continues…. i cried myself to sleep over this. but i think that the whole point. even though saving Prim was Katniss’s original intent and that failed, she still did soooo much to effect and better Panem. in the end her sacrifice was worthwhile. |
| by Peeta Mellark in September 19 - 11:20 pm |
Sad that prim died although scene was confusing. I did like that peeta and katniss ended up together |
| by PrimRose.Rue.Peeta.Gale in October 06 - 1:26 am |
I was happy that Katniss and Peeta ended up together, though I wish there was more of a better ending for Gale. I wish Gale got a job in District 12 so he could still see Katniss but also have another relationship with some one else. I was so sad, i cried, when Rue, Prim and Finnick died. I felt really sorry for mags too. I thought Cinna’s death was to quick and rushed for me. Also, Katniss’s children should have been given names. I think the girl should be called Prim Rose and the boy Gale or Finnick |
| by ashley in December 14 - 10:54 pm |
i do think that prim is going to die after the bombing from president snow !!!!! |
| by Brittney in December 29 - 9:26 pm |
I cried when prim died you just don’t kill the sister i mean come on people!!! you never kill the little sister. Its insane. poor prim i cryed when rue died to so sad i mean i’m big on love stories but guess what if you kill the the little girl its a guestion if i like the book or not |
| by Sam in April 17 - 9:29 am |
I’ve already read the whole series twice, so I’m just going to tell you prim DIES !!!!!!! I know I was devastated about it but come on it was bond to happen but I really wish it didn’t but come on it gets you thinking about the book alot |

Oh man! If prim died katniss’s world would crumble and fall into a pit of orange bubbles(remember the tracker jacker stings?) if I could choose Wichita character dies I’d choose Haymitch, or Peeta, |
| by AdmAdm in October 06 - 9:31 pm |
PRIM DIES FROM A PARACHUTE! |
| by TheGirlInAllWhite in October 11 - 12:25 am |
Sadly,Prim does die. I surely wasn’t expecting it it came at you so quick you couldn’t even blink. My opinion is that Collins could have sent her to her death in a bigger way. It sempt like it was Boom she died. Clarified she died. Announce revenge. Get on with the story. I didnt like it at all. It should have been more heart touching and not so…messy. If her death was thought out in a bigger way then my heart wouldn’t be carrying such a heavy pain on it right now… |
| by Alina in October 12 - 5:59 pm |
Omg if Prim dies I’m gonna cry like when Rue died lol but I seriously don’t want Prim to die. |
