Marianne:
First of all, sorry for the non-trimming of the first post I sent. I
forgot.
Ok, I know I've written this somewhere on a HP list before, but I
know a person that thought JKR took the easy way out and not killed
Harry off in the end. In fact more than a few people felt that way.
And yes, he would have been very amused at the riots and blood in the
streets in reaction to the ending.
A question for Steve. Considering the way you feel the need to argue
with almost everything that is written, would you happen to be on a
certain music list I'm on and your name happens to be Soren?
You write and argue just like him.
