Her (kind-of) boyfriend Peeta survives to the end without killing anyone.
I could be wrong as I'm not a THG obsessive. Okay, okay, all I've done is see the film once, but I thought Peeta did kill someone. Isn't there a girl who is dying (from District 8) and he finishes her off?
I'm not sure what to make of THG. Probably because I hadn't read the books, I didn't feel a great deal of connection to the characters - until Rue's dad/district started rebelling. Oh and Gale. I liked his efforts to 'not watch'.
But, yeah, Peeta and Katniss are kind of sanitised in this. And I did wonder as I watched what would happen if her and Peeta were left at the end. The announcement that two could win from the same district annoyed me because it appeared trite and easy. Taking it away at the end made sense in the context of how cruel the games were. The berries ... *shrugs* good thinking, might have preferred it if they'd happened on it after trying to kill each other.
