I suppose Dumbledore's death is the easy way to go about it.  I thought
about this some time ago as everyone seemed hell-bent on killing of D'dore *
via foreshadowing * in order to get Harry to his moment of destiny and I
thought - No, that's a copy out, its too easy - and JKR has not really
avoided tough actions before now.  The real puzzle would be how to go about
* life the universe and Potterverse * if she did NOT kill Dumbledore off.
