Before everyone throws rocks please hear me out.  I want to see and read 
books 5, 6 and 7 as much as anyone else, but would it really be that awful if 
the series was never finished.

We as readers all visualize characters and things that take place in a book 
differently.  When that book is made into a movie, that personal 
visualization is taken from us.  As an example lets take Hermione.  Up until 
the movie we all had our own version of what she looked like.  Now Hermione 
looks like Emma Watson whether we like it or not.

We have all read books 1-4 and we know book 5 is coming out.  We know the 
characters better than our neighbors.  Until book seven is written we can 
imagine anything happening that we want and it could be true.  Checkout the 
creative minds that write fanfic.  Some have gone places where I would never 
go, but until the series is finished anything is possible.  Any relationship 
is possible.  Any character can live or die.  Any situation is possible.  
Once book seven is published the door is shut on speculation.

Therefore, as anxious as I am for books 5, 6 and 7 to be published, I dread 
the day the series comes to a close.

Neil
