  What do you guys think about wizard suicide?

  JKR gives us a Wizarding World which is plagued with the same 
  problems as the Muggle World, only in different forms.  Political 
  corruption, racism, the whole deal.

  But I don't remember any references to suicide at all.  Do you think 
  suicide might be a theme or at least occurrence later in the books?  
  We're told they're getting darker, and JKR gives the Wizarding World 
  the same problems as the Muggle one.  I don't see why suicide 
  *wouldn't* be an issue.  Or if not an issue, at least an occurrence.

  Not only that, how do wizards kill themselves, assuming they wanted 
  to?

  Me: Well, I have thought about how a wizard would kill himself, yes, I suppose there're may ways, but there's at least one reference in canon:
  "If he weren't (mad) when he went to Azkaban, he will be now," said Ern in his slow voice. "I'd blow meself up before I set foot in that place." PoA.Ch.3 "The night bus"
