Do You Peek?

When I got OOP home, I settled in to read it from front to back, just 
like I had with the other books, "dying" to know who was going to 
die.  However, after the chapter about Mrs. Weasley's Woes where we 
were teased with Dead! Everyone Weasley, that did it for me -- I 
thumbed through the book until I found out who really did bite the 
dust. I peeked.

So, am I the only one? Did anyone else get their book out of the 
wrapper and immediately look for the death scene? 

So, then -- how are you going to be reading the last two books in the 
series? Are you going to Peek? Look at the last page or two, just to 
see who is still there, saying goodbye on the Platform as they part 
for the summer?


I feel sorry for JKR, in a way. We have postulated the plot 
possibilities so thoroughly, with speculations so spectacularly 
intellectual, that I wonder if Rowling sits at home reading some of 
them and saying to herself, "Oh no, what am I going to do NOW? I 
wasn't going to get THAT sophisticated with it. . ."

She has commented that the Harry Potter story jumped into her mind, 
fully formed. She knew how it was going to end before she set the 
first word on paper. Do you think she has changed any of it in light 
of these worldwide expectations?

Just wondering,
