imamommy:

I love these books, and no matter how we tear them apart on this 
group, I still love them.  My greatest fear is that I will read the 
sixth and seventh book and say, "Oh.  That stunk."

Please don't misunderstand me. I think I could be ok with just about 
any plot twist, almost any ship (that JKR would *really* put in, 
anyway), any ending to the Snape saga, and any method of defeating 
Voldemort...as long as she writes it so that it still works for me.

Now, I know some of you hit this point already, with OoP.  But I 
really, really hope I don't.  I hope I don't get to the end and feel 
very disillusioned.  I want to still have the deep emotional 
connection to the books that I do now.  Loosing that connection is my 
greatest HP fear.
