<<<The lives of the central characters in the Narnia Chronicles <end> 
in a train crash.  (Well, except for those who make it back to 
Narnia for the final days- and they are dead in this world.)

I wonder, given that Dumbledore has said that death is just another 
great adventure, if Rowling didn't have Narnia in mind when Harry 
was born.>>>



And, speaking of the next great adventure...

"....the things that began to happen after that were so great and beautiful that I cannot write them.  And for us this is the end of all the stories, and we can most truly say that they lived happily ever after.  But for them it was only the beginning of the real story.  All their life in this world and all their adventures in Narnia had only been the cover and the title page:  now at last they were beginning Chapter one of the Great Story which no one on earth has read:  which goes on forever:  in which every chapter is better than the one before."(Final paragraph, "The Last Battle", Book *7* of the Narnia series)

Hmmm....book 7, a final battle and a tragic train crash...all those characters we grew to love open up that great novel in the sky "where every chapter is better than the one before"...

IMHO, If JKR chooses to kill off one of the HRH Trinity, then let them all (the main characters) "cross over" to the next great adventure, so they can all be together with those they love.  Well, I hope she doesn't, but it worked for Lewis anyway...
