My mom was sitting with me while I was packing for LA today and she asked if I thought Harry would die in book seven and I said, sort of flippaintly, yeah, maybe.

And she said, "Oh, I hope not! I need those three children to survive - they're heroes to so many and I can't bear it if she kills Harry. What sort of ending is that? What sort of life?"

She burst into tears and was so, so upset by the idea and I didn't know what to say.

Honestly, much as I have my DH "story of how I died" icon (which isn't spoilery as it's based on Dr Who, not anything gleaned from HP spoilers) I don't think Harry is going to die - but I really just wish it wasn't *so damned soon*.

I need another year. Can't we have another year?

Nope, you can't.

I think I started my mourning process today, too, on my journal. In my heart, I've been mourning the end ever since PoA when I became thoroughly enamoured with the series. If this weren't a world-wide sensation, I'm not even sure I'd read Book 7. I haven't read the last few Pern books for fear of the end (I tend to stay one or two behind), nor have I read the last of many ongoing series so I don't have to deal with "the end". But the end to HP is coming, and I will know how it ends whether I like it or not, so I might as well read it for myself.

We could have as many years as we'd like if people could embrace the truth of fan fiction, but, unfortunately, most people need canon to motivate them. Thus, we will filter away to Dr Who, Heroes, SPN, Anime....but no matter where we all go, we'll always have our halcyon HP days to look back on. Hopefully with more fondness than regret.

love, lore

We can reread them desperately. Besides it will live on in Fan Fiction forever.
