lupinlore asked what would dissappoint us if it did or did not happen in the next books.  Here's my list.

1. Harry dying would disappoint me very much.  there's nothing that would make the death of a 17-year-old boy seem right or justified to me.

2.  The death of Ron, Hermione, Lupin or Ginny.

3.  Lupin being shown to truly be ESE.  and on the subject of Lupin, i would be very disappointed if we didn't see more of him, and if he didn't step in and become the paternal figure in harry's life.

4.  not learning more about the marauders, including the so-called prank and Snape's worst memory in some objective fashion.

4.  Having it all turn out to be a dream would be beyond a disappointment.  It would be disgusting, and i'd never read any future books by JKR, in spite of the fact that she is a very good writer and can sure spin a tale.  i'd feel very cheated.


5.  Not having Voldemort defeated in some way, though I don't exactly see Harry pulling out his wand and performing the killing curse.

6.  I'd like to learn about the ships, at least as far as they end up for kids of that age, or in the final where-they-all-went chapter.  

And I agree with Lupinlore, i'd be seriously disappointed to have much more air time wasted on Grawp!  What a total disappointment he was, especially keeping us from seeing ron's big moment in Quidditch!
