Harry Potter author JK Rowling has admitted she is thinking of killing him off in the final book of the series.
JK, 40, wants to stop others writing unauthorised novels on the boy wizard.
She said: "Killing him would mean that after I'm dead they won't be able to bring him back.
"I'm not going to commit myself, though - I don't want the hate mail."
But JK did admit to changing the ending of the unnamed 7th book, killing at least TWO characters."
