Richelle fretted:

> I'm a bit more concerned with the last line that refers 
>to "unbearable sacrifice."  


Oh, dear!  Richelle's right!  I cut off the excerpt a bit too soon.  
The rest of it reads:

"In the richest installment yet of J. K. Rowling's seven-part story, 
Harry Potter confronts the unreliability of the very government of 
the magical world, and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts. 

Despite this (or perhaps because of it) Harry finds depth and 
strength in his friends, beyond what even he knew; boundless loyalty 
and unbearable sacrifice."

Ooooh!  "Unbearable sacrifice," huh?  That's the very best kind of 
sacrifice, isn't it?

"Impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts."  OK, this is not good.  
Dumbledore is the only real authority at Hogwarts.  No way would 
they be calling Dumbledore "impotent," even if he, er, were.  So 
this must mean Dumbledore is ousted as Headmaster!  And the new 
Headmaster or Headmistress is impotent.  Mundungus Fletcher, anyone?

"Boundless loyalty?"  Sounds like no Evil!Ron.  Not yet, anyway.

Cindy -- calmly predicting that the "unbearable sacrifice" will be 
Hermione and who absolutely cannot wait to find out
