But, Cole, are these still children's books? Numbers 1-4 yes, #5? 
Well, maybe. #6? No more a children's book than LotR. JKR has 
made the same sort of literary metamorphosis that JRRT did when he 
went from The Hobbit to LotR -- just took her a few more books, 
while her intended audience grew with the books. (Keep in mind, a 
goodly number of the kids who've grown with HP are now in their late 
teens and early 20s -- quite able to absorb adult matters, don't you 
think?) As for the blood bath ... I hear where eggplant is coming 
from and I expect that if SS dies at the hand of HP, it wont be 
particularly pretty, but I truly hope it's not a true blood bath ... 
for Snape's sake. Frankly, I think it's more likely that SS will 
fall to V, just shortly before V falls to HP ... and HP to V ????
