Didn't know whether to put this in books or J K Rowling forum but I decided here...

Best-selling authors John Irving and Stephen King both made a plea to Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling not to kill the boy wizard in the final book of the series, but Rowling made no promises, the Reuters news service reported.

"My fingers are crossed for Harry," Irving said at a joint news conference before a charity reading by the three writers at New York's Radio City Music Hall on Aug. 1.

Added horrormeister King: "I don't want him to go over the Reichenbach Falls," a reference to Arthur Conan Doyle's efforts to kill off the character of fictional detective Sherlock Holmes.

I wish people would stop telling her what she should do with her characters - let her make the decision as she comes to it.

Well I thought it was an amusing story and was pleased she'd got such good writers that hooked on her story but oh well...

[Phoenix in the Ashes]

I thought it was good too; just shows how many people are fans of the stories.

I do see your point Rory but I still love the fact that they're into HP too!

It's not as though what anybody except maybe her editors a little say is going to affect anything major in the story - considering she's got it all very well planned out I believe.
