Like Avatar and Black Wolf in the movie Wizards.  Avatar pulled out a 
gun and shot Black Wolf, when everyone thought they would duel it out 
magically.  What WOULD Voldemort do if Harry pulled out a gun and blew 
his head off?  A trigger can be pulled faster then one can say a spell...

I think if JKR pulled that stunt in the books, Ralph Bakshi would sue 
her and her fans would gang up on her and silly string her till she 
resembles a rainbow haystack.

If Volde falls off a cliff, then Disney might sue.. Last minute 
'conversion to good' would be too Darth Vader'ish.

Its going to be near impossible to find a way to kill Voldemort off and 
be original, you know...
