i personally dont think Harry will die for the reasons that Ferrus has already mentioned. those were 4 good points

This is to Alice:-
you made your point well. the hero of a great series dying would leave children all over the world crying. but if Rowling changes her mind from killing Harry to saving him only because of her fans' outrage , that would be changing the storyline under pressure wont it? i am not saying that she should kill him. i am saying that she should follow her heart.

consider a legal trial in which the judge has to give a really loved person, death sentence (example Beckham or Sean Connery or even Rowling)
does he not do his duty because the decision would leave the world in tears?

i agree a book's ending is not as much as a vital issue as a death trial. what i am trying to say is nobody's decisions should be swayed by public opinion.
this is just what i personally feel

Well I see your point and as someone who has been doing a little writing myself I can see your point, but JKR now has a responsibility to those people. Like I said before If it were not for the fans then their wouldn't be the Harry Potter series. I mean that if no one really cared much about the story she would probably not have been able to publish all of the books.

This is a tough issue for me as well. I am writting a Fan Fiction but I have been advised to give it up and pursue somthing different as I can never show my work to anyone except you fine folks here on the forum.

Now I could very easily do that but then some folks might be disappointed, so I am waffeling over the issue. Now I am no JKR and I don't have millions of fans and only a handful of people have read my writing but the concept is essentially the same. If I stop writing the story Amon Re and Nobby will be diussapointed. So do I contionue it for them? Do I continue it because the story demands it?
When does a writer have no obligation to her/his readers?
Hmmm?

of course jk has an obligation. if she kills harry and fans start crying, going into depression or even comitting suicide- jk wouldn't be able to sleep at night- would you?

i know i wouldn´t.. and i only hope that he survives so that we all can take a deep breath...

And i can´t do more than agree with nobby.. it´s like killing your own child.. *shivers*

You know JKR actually said in an interview that she considered her books like her child. It was on one of the DVDs.
Anyway maybe all this she is gonna kill Harry stuff is riduculous because it would be like killing her own child.

I hope that is the case because I still hold to my plan of a all out JKR boycott if she were to kill Harry.

I can agree that to boycott JKR if she kills Harry, but i don´t think that she will do that.. he is the reason she ever picked up writting in the first place.. I think...

I hope he does not die but I think he will because the books have to end somewhere and this series and the way I think JK is this wont be no fairytale ending.I dont think everyone will live happily everafter. Its just not the type of book to have a happy ending. :???:

I don´t want him to die!!! Harry is so great, i want him to live a happy life without voldemort.

I don't think he will die but I think he will also find a way around becoming a murderer too.

JK is adamant that there will be absolutely NO HP books after seventh year.
I hope he dies. Everyone will be so sad. :cry:
