Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'm from Poland. 

Bboy_mn, that would be great, I mean your story - but I don't think 
it's going to be that way. 

Why? Well, it would be kinda hopefull, give the fans sort of relief - 
because the book left us a feeling of discomfort and doubt and 
disbelief and all this "why oh why didn't Harry use it??" stuff. I 
don't think that JKR will give us any relief. She won't make things 
easier - and your version of the story would, by saying the good-byes 
and clearing Sirius's name and all. 

In the 5th book JKR has been taking it all away from Harry - bit by 
bit, everything he cared for - in the end to take the "closest to a 
parent he'd ever had". 

What I think is that from now on it will be still worse - the series 
is getting somewhat darker with every book. I don't think there's 
much place for hope, understanding/enlightenments or acceptation. My 
guess is that in the 7th book it won't be "Harry is the hero, Harry 
saves the day" kind of ending. It will just be... well, more like 
Harry just doing what he had to and being glad it's all over. He will 
be relieved to finally be able to meet his parents and Sirius. His 
death will be the final relief (though it sounds pretty strange, I 
know:). And I'm not saying this because I would like it to happen 
that way, I day it only because I think it's more probable. 

The final chapter of the book gave us some idea of what could happe 
next - Harry feeling more and more different than others around him, 
he knows that he has to do something terrible, something only he can 
do and that's what'll make him estranged (even from his best 
friends). The frustration and anger will be gone (or almost gone:) - 
only the feeling of emptiness deeper and deeper (because most people 
will still think that Sirius was guilty, because - even if they now 
believe Voldemort's back - they won't have to believe everything 
Harry sais and will ebentually come to fear "the weird gloomy 
Potter")...  well, it sound pretty bad:( But that's what I think.

But that is just a thought. What d'you think?
