cantoramy:

IMHO, I don't think that AOL-Time Warner would really let her kill
Harry off.  He makes them too much money.

>Hmmm... I sincerely doubt that JKR has sold off enough of her
control of the HP franchise that she would allow Warner etc to
dictate plot details.  I mean, if what JKR says is true, the AOL-T-W
folks don't even know what's in the books until after they're
published.>

me:

I'm Spanish, mind the grammar.

But cantoramy has a point about the Legos, calendars, even my keyboard hp set. 
For AOL-time warner it would be a terrible risk, I mean I don't buy that 
company has signed a treaty in such a weak position. Sure they have a plan B.

Also, and this is purely IMO, I don't think JKR is going to kill the magic of 
the series. You can tell-tale in a pretty adult fashion without killing the 
magic. I know, I've done with a Vampire the Masquerade-Harry Potter rol 
crossover. I started with a group of 'yes, we know hp but we are twenty-odd 
and vampies are so serious, with al the angst...' and ended with a group of 
'yes we are vampires but this place(the WW) is fantastic, let's play more' 
without having to tell/moderate a childish story.

I don't want the magic killed, and I hope JKR will be so kind of not being 
cruel to her fans.
