that score).  But I for one won't forgive Rowling if Harry dies... 
OK, I'll forgive her, but she'll have to do better than having Harry 
die to save the world from Voldemort.  Too much like so many other 
hero stories, religious and otherwise. 


Alla:

I disagree with Hanna. I want to refer you again to March 2004 chat, 
where to the question "in which form We will see Sirius again? The 
reply was something like I don't want to answer that for the fear of 
incriminating myself" - paraphrasing.
I think it is a given that we will see Sirius in SOME shape or form 
again.

The only questiuon for me is whether it will be fully human form or 
not.


Rowling already proved that she is not afriad to write about death - 
Cedric is dead, Lily and James' deaths are always haunting Harry, so 
iif it will turns out that Sirius was not "properly dead" in the 
first place, it will not cheapen the meaning of the death in the 
series for me at all.


 
Kim:

> Why would killing Harry be wrong and in my opinion a negative 
lesson for children?  Because Harry is the hero, he's a kid, he's 
suffered enough, he deserves to live, for crying out loud.  And it's 
fiction after all.  The young have been giving up their lives for 
worthy and not so worthy causes too often for too many years in the 
real world.  High time for older folks to put their lives on the 
line for the young (and this is me speaking as a semi-older folk).  


Alla:

Agreed with this paragraph. I want to repeat my some kind of 
semiprognosis of what will happen at the end.

Harry will be completely ready to sacrifice his life to destroy 
Voldie (how - of course I don't know) and as a result of such 
sacrifice he will experience "temporary" death and then will be 
resurrected so to speak.
