Luckdragon now:

SSSusan, well said! Half the fun of the series is seeing how far JKR's imagination can go. It just would not be the same if someone else finished it off. It is "her" story to tell. 
Snip:

SSSusan:
But isn't this a bit of an insult to JKR's writing?  Even having 
boxes & boxes full of notes and a final chapter, wouldn't it take 
some *talent* to bring it all together to the standard we're used 
to?  

Maybe I wasn't clear in what I said previously.  I wasn't meaning we 
need JKR *just* to tie up loose ends, nor that I expected her to tie 
up *all*of them, but rather that to make it all work at the level we 
expect *and* to tie up lots of the loose ends, we need her.  I'm not 
saying no one else could manage it, but the original statement 
sounded to me as if that person thought it would be no big deal to 
pick up the pieces & complete the series.  Well, I guess I give JKR 
more credit than that.  There may be notes and outlines, but the 
connections & vision are in her head.  You mentioned potential new 
characters, too.  Since no one besides JKR would have "met" these 
characters, how could anyone else be sure about fleshing them out?

  It 
might be lots of fun for people to make their own attempts at it, 
but, for me, I believe the only way we'll get a proper finish is if 
JKR herself issues it.

IMHO, of course.
