Potioncat:
JKR might disagree about the books being for children, but yes, that's 
a good point. 

There was quite a bit of discussion about Harry's ulimate fate, which 
really heated up before DH came out. Both sides (must die/ must not 
die) had good points. I'm glad it ended the way it did for Harry. The 
novels I've read with a hero or very important side character's death 
have left me drained. I become too attached to these fictional 
characters.

In this series the amount of death was one too many for me.


Potioncat, amused that this canon discussion is on the movie site and 
tempted to use TSTMNBN in the postss.  (The Source That Must Not Be 
Named)
