Bet she would. She told those very millions from Albert Hall that she
didn't believe in magic. And she is on record as saying that
children's authors have to be ruthless.

Now Me:
There is ruthless, and then there is totally, totally ruthless.
Killing Sirius and, to a lesser extent, Cedric was ruthless. Killing
Harry would *really* upset millions of fans (and not just the kids).
I know that some people feel that *Harry Must Die* (perhaps to give a
LOTR-type gravity to the series), but I certainly hope that he does
not. I don't think that I would ever be able to enjoy the earlier
books in the series again if I knew that Harry was doomed from day 1.
And I am sorry, but I think that "going beyond the veil" to be united
with Sirius and his parents is alot like suicide and Harry is made of
stronger stuff than that. Elle
