Just wondering...

I don't like the over emphasis on realism in fiction.  It's nice to 
have a story be somewhat true to life, but when the main goal is 
realism you end up with non-fiction, not entertaining stories. I think 
you can write a good book without killing off characters just for the 
sake of "realism". Survival can be realistic, too. 
I read fiction for entertainment.  If I want realism I'll open my 
bills :)
Not to be too political, but I also don't like the idea of healthy 
young people "dying for a cause".  We have enough martyrs in the world 
right now; hopefully JKR won't make one of the trio a martyr as well.
