Eowynn:

I would tend to side with you both. I feel that the whole 'tug-a-war' adds a lot of fun into her writing the books. She knows what is coming, and to feel the anticipation from the fans is fun for her. Imagine you are telling a story to some one, the are totally enthralled with it, and every time you pause (dramatically of course) they push you forward through the story. It makes it more fun to tell the story, it also adds a bit of anticipation on the story tellers side. You are leading up to this ending, and they are sold on the story now, but... will the ending fulfill all this anticipation run through them, will they be pleased with it or will it end as a total let down. As for us guessing, I can't think of how I will feel in a few years when the series is done, I will have all the answers to all my many questions (ESE Lupin?!) and my anticipation will end. I will still enjoy reading the books, but I will miss tracking down all the clues and finding all the red herrings. Most of
 all I will miss the conversations I have with my friends and all of you on HP4GU. Anticipation is the key to a good story. And I believe that JKR has got our full attention, so bring on the fun!
