Now if we assume that the series will wrap up in some way that
parallels the Bible--hardly a foregone conclusion, as the books may 
have Judeo-Christian underpinnings and yet not be an allegory or 
retelling of a biblical story--than the hardest sacrifices are
precisely those that involve the hero giving up what he/she thinks is
most important to him in order to be redeemed. I tend to think Harry
will sacrifice something very important--and he will be redeemed, but
I'm not convinced that that redemption will be something conventional.
 I don't really know what I think it will be, but I suspect I'll be
surprised by the ending.

Cheers,
