When Dumbledore asked calmly "Did you put your name in the globet of fire?" I already knew that Fred was going to die

None of these foreshadow Fred's death because JK Rowling originally planned for Arthur to die instead and only changed it late in the writing of the series.

Notice how Fred’s name starts with F and ends with D. This obviously stands for “Fred Dead” amazing foreshadowing

20 years ago when my friend suggested me to watch this newly released awesome movie named Harry Potter & the Sorcerer's Stone that's when I knew that someone named Fred Weasley in this movie is going to die in the eighth movie
