But that's so typical.  Good guys win, bad guys lose - nada in between.  HP 
seems more, I don't know, real to me than that (which is probably a sign I need 
to get out more).  It doesn't seem like it's going to be Matrix-y.  JRK seems 
so much more original than that.  Hey...Harry turning his back on destiny to 
save his friends would be nice...but that's a little Matrix-y too, isn't it?  
I like the idea of Harry going back for his friends even though his "destiny" 
says he can't.  Then Neville could fight LV until Harry got back.  Gotta give 
Neville his glory!
