 Becki Here;
 
I can't help but be afraid for Harry.  He is the only one I will be 
devastated over.  There are many other characters that I love, 
Hermione, Lupin, Dumbledore, etc.  Although I would be disappointed 
if any of my fav's snuffed it, I would mostly greve for Harry.  
What concerns me most is (if anyone saw this) is the Biography on 
A & E with Jo herself.  Towards the end, when she is in her office, 
sitting on the floor, clutching, almost hugging, the last chapter 
of book 7, talking how difficult it is going to be to rewrite the 
death that is going to be the hardest.  Which character is the most 
profound to her to dread writing that chapter into the final book.  
I can think of quite a few, any of the main characters would be 
difficult for her.  
 
 I keep telling myself that she "doth protest to much", when she 
 keeps reminding us that Harry may not make it to adulthood.
 
 Becki, praying for Harry
 
 
Griffin782002 now:
I really think killing Harry might really make J.K.R. to run away. 
Just remember her reply to the first FAQ poll. When Conand Doyle 
killed off Shellock Holmes, the public outrage forced him to bring 
him back. Is it so difficult to allow Harry to live a normal life?
And I just thought of a character that her would really upset J.K.R. 
And that's is Hermione. She has said that she based that character 
on  herself. That would certainly cause her destress. What she did 
to  Sirius wasn't better.

Becki Again;

A poster on the main list had a point that to kill off Harry would 
not be a very good thing for Warner Brothers.  All that residual 
marketing, Harryware and such.  They think it would be not as easy 
to market that stuff with Harry dead and gone.  

If I had to bet money on who is the gonner in that yellow folder, 
would be Dumbledore.  He has a strong enough presense to really pull 
at your heartstrings.  I can see your point for Hermione, with Jo 
identifing with her, but I don't think that is the one.  If not 
Dumbledore, then Ron, but that seems so obvious.

Anyone else with opinions on who is in that yellow folder?
