"wakes up" and discovers that all seven books worth of adventures 
was just a dream, I think JKR will have to go into hiding to avoid 
the lynch mob that will be after her.

mind if Harry died the ultimate hero, saving the world from Evil 
Lord Thingy. It almost has a religious feel to it - evil reigns, a 
boy is "prophecised" to be born and save the world, and is later 
told that he is the chosen one, but must face the choice - turn his 
back on destiny, or possibly die to save the world???

virgin and Ron will eventually betray him :-P. But I digress. While 
I am not particularly religious, I always like a good "chosen one" 
story. >>>


I must say that the Harry as Peter Pan, or Harry as Dorothy of 
Kansas, or Harry as Jesus (or even Neo ala matrix) endings 
would annoy me. I trust (hope) that JK Rowling is better than that. 
The idea that he may lose his powers gives me some hope but I 
still can't really see him surviving.  All the scenes dealing with 
death in OotP, and the acceptance of death (or not accepting in 
the ghosts' cases) made me a little fearful for Harry's... uh... 
future.
