SSSusan:
It's becoming increasingly difficult to choose one thing as I read 
others' comments.  I especially like Amber's #1 & #2, but I don't 
think they'd be my *worst* fears.  #4 might be!

I suppose it's not a very "mature" way of looking at things, but I 
really DON'T want any of the trio to die, either.  I understand that 
JKR could do it in a way that it makes perfect sense and is almost 
beautiful, but I still just don't want it to happen.

The St. Elsewhere thing – "It was all just a dream" – would be 
nasty, too.  In fact, the idea that JKR would present any kind of 
super-cheesy ending after managing to write about stuff like Love 
and Courage and Loyalty so NON-cheesily is also a bit of a fear, but 
I really think in my heart she *won't* disappoint.

So I guess I'm left with two things:  1) that something will happen 
to JKR and Book 7 will never come; and 2) that a HUGE portion of the 
readership will be disappointed with the ending for some reason.  I 
mean, I don't care if a handful (or two or three) of people are 
ticked off, but if there is really widespread disappointment, it 
might be hard to take, especially if I didn't happen to be one of 
the ones disappointed.  (Does that make sense??)

and back to Amber's #4

SSS adds:  We found something we agree on wholeheartedly, Del! :-)
