It's probably a safe bet.  Such a choice is actually at the heart of nearly
every fantasy story worth reading.  Sometimes the story is in keeping the
path that decision leads to, and sometimes it's the buildup to it. I think
Harry Potter is the build up to it.  At some point, Harry is going to have
a moment of truth from which there is no going back. When that time comes
remains to be seen, but I do believe it is coming.
