[Lee]:
The way I see it, she may have made a lot of statements, but I feel that she
was trying to keep her readers off the track and guessing.  If I were an
author, I would hesitate to give truthful statements about what's going to
happen in my upcoming material because, IMO, I would be giving it away and I
would feel that, if the readers have answers to  their questions, why bother
writing the book...it's already been told, so to speak.  This is, of course,
just my opinion.

As far as the Kings Cross, no dead people were brought back; remember that
Dumbledore inferred that it was indeed in Harry's head.  We don't know what
goes through the minds of coma victims or some of those having Near-Death
experiences, but in these things they're given the choice to live in this
world or go on.  So, what Harry was experiencing in his Kings Cross thing
was that "Between-Place" as I call it.  Again, no one was brought back from
the dead, as I read it.

Smiles,
