my greatest fear....

I suppose my greatest fear is something of what Stephen King fans felt when
he was hit by that van that almost killed him - that Book 7 will never BE
finished!! I have thought of not reading Book 6 or any previous Potter Books
again until 7 is written (a bit paranoid I know) but this series is very
addicting to a point that is somewhat fantastically alarming. 
 
For example - my fiancé and I am flipping channels when I come to "Robin
Hood and the Prince of Thieves" Now, normally I would have changed the
channel, but I hear a very familiar voice and when I see "Little John" I
scream - "Hagrid"!!!! And I continue to watch a few minutes longer. My
fiancé looks at me and shakes his head, but says nothing.  Then I hear
another familiar voice and low and behold if the good ole sheriff doesn't
appear and I scream "Professor Snape"!!!! 
 
At this point my fiancé tries to take the remote from my excited hands
yelling "That is not Hagrid and that is not Snape - this is Robin Hood for
God's sake will you stop!  We continue to fight over the remote with him
yelling it's Little John and the Sheriff and we are not watching this!" To
which I reply pouting as he takes the remote and I slump into the couch
corner with arms crossed, "They will always be Hagrid and Snape to me".
Apparently he felt so sorry for how pathetic I had become he lays the remote
down and allows me to watch it while asking if there is a Harry Potter AA
and what I plan to do when the books are gone.  Yes, I too fear the end.
What will there be to look forward to with no Marauder mysteries, no Molly
screaming at Fred and George, NO PEEVES for Heaven's Sake No Peeves!
 
While I hope it doesn't all end as a dream, a big time turning event, or
deux ex machine I dread most as you already stated the emptiness of it
all.....
