"Or perhaps JKR could take the Louisa May Alcott route and
preclude any post-book VII sequels by writing a hasty and
distinctly tear-jerking epilogue finishing off Harry's life in 
summary, along these lines (*Marginal* apologies to Alcott): "Harry 
never married, but lived, bravely and usefully, among his chosen 
people [Muggle-borns, werewolves, and half-giants], till he was Avada 
Kedavra-ed while defending them, and at last lay quietly asleep in 
the Wizard's wilderness he loved so well, with a lock of Cho's hair 
upon his breast, and a smile on his face which seemed to say that the 
greatest Auror of the century had fought his last fight and was at 
peace.  And now, having endevored to suit everyone by many weddings, 
few deaths, and as much prosperity as the eternal ebbs and flows of 
magic will permit, let the incantations stop, the wands die out, and 
the curtain fall FOREVER [Got that, Time-Warner?] on the boy wizard 
with the remarkable scar."
 
 But let's hope that by the end of the series JKR is not disgusted
 enough to be tempted to embrace a conclusion *that* depressing!"

While JKR and LMA are not the same, I have always liked LMA and so it 
is ok in my mind. I don't want this to happen mind you but- 
Your post reminded me of a post from back in our "Yahoo!" days.  It 
was posted by a Dave too.  Was this you?

 
"Hopefully, she'd at least tell us what Harry and his friends did in 
their professions, whom they married, etc. before she ended it by 
declaring, 
'And now having endevoured to suit everyone by many weddings, few 
deaths, and as much prosperity as the eternal fitness of wizardry 
will permit, let the music stop, the lights die out, and curtain fall 
forever on Harry Potter, the great wizard with the amazing scar." 
(Apologies toLouisa May Alcott.) :)"
