I would like to encourage everyone to read post#41480 Titled:
Devastation & Heartbreak (re: Horrible to Write) 

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/message/41480

Where I made some comments about the impact of Harry Potter dying at
the end of the book. 

In summary of that, If Harry dies, I can see an international day of
moarning that will nearly bring the world to a stop. The little boy
who was the most heartfelt best friend of the world will have died. I
see schools closing. I see businesses crippled. I see every magazine,
TV show, and newspaper eulogizing the best loved boy in the world. I
see a lot of tears falling for a long time. 

If that's how Rowings wroteit, then I think she should stay true to
that and leave it as is. But I truly see international devastation if
Harry Potter dies; heartbreading devastation the likes of which the
world has never see.

Call me crazy, call me sentimental, call me a barmy old codger, but
that's what I see.
